Do you think you can do a video on how to live in the now. I struggle with anxiety and I’m always worried about the future. Just thought it would be good to see a video about and make me change my way of thinking

My problems is I never know what to write about how do you come up with stuff to write about you just look up topics?

We need more "How to live life" videos these days, thank you!

14:23 is SO real… It’s crazy how we’re basically spoon fed somebody else’s definition of success and then hold ourselves to the same standard. I actually touched on this in a video recently and it’s been my best performer to date! But that’s exactly why I started being super selective about who I take advice from and what content I consume… Your laidback and thoughtful approach is one of my favorites! As always, great video, Cole!

The three pillars of understanding myself better always were meditation, journaling and *absence* of music. Music just doesn't let me think, and if you don't think, you can't learn who you are.

His step two is more or less a TICES log. Meaning trigger, image (mental), cognition (thought), emotion, sensation (tight chest or ect.). It helps if your dealing with anger issues. You can see what the issue was and how your body responds.

Lots of people need to pause instead of just ranting angrily for no reason just because one small thing set them off. Agreed greatly. Great video. 👍

In Dr. Ks coaching program. And I’ll be damned that Cole just nailed a theme we’ve been discussing about relationships and how sometimes we get defensive of other’s feedback. I now plan on telling my friends when I feel triggered by their comments. Love this. Thanks!

Stage 3 is so true. One of the best months of my life were when I was meditating everyday for 20 minutes. It was so peaceful, like in a way i can't explain why i felt so peaceful and grounded

Self-awareness comes importantly in play when people are facing issues in their lives, whether they are relationship related or financial or etc... The standard response to a problem is to numb the feelings of anger, sadness, frustration and anxiety through short-term solutions (instant gratification/ relief) instead of consecrating a part of the day to really reflect on the agents of the problem and the problem as a whole. This is extremely important as people usually don't really understand the problem, but pausing for a while as you said, and thinking thoroughly about the different angles of the problem, makes realizd that there is something they're missing and didn't come to their intuition, and this right here helps them navigate through the problem and get more clarity and calmness inside of them

I just seen this but have just realized over the past few days that I don't even know who I am. I don't know what it means to be me or what my natural state looks like. Once again Cole you are on your mission. I really do believe there's an energetic link between us. You might not be getting many views lately but that's because of the way things are nowadays. Nobody wants to learn how to solve their problems... So if you think about it, you are creating the right content for the select few, rather than just filling the void of many. Please dont sell out, we appreciate you!

Learning to harness the pause is a difficult but *super* useful skill! If I can catch a stressful stimulus before reacting to it, it’s much easier to prevent it from snowballing and ruining my day.

That's all I been saying lately. You have to love learning to think, put them words together, and grind! ❤

THis is do helpful Cole! Thank you!❤

dope overview here Cole! Love the pause breakdown.

Excellent work and valuable advice my friend. Only recently discovered your channel, but it's becoming one of my favorites.

These videos are wise and soothing in the chaos ❤.

this is an amazing well made and thought out video keep going this is some amazing work!

I love your channel

All the wisdom we need usually comes to us in or old age.

Long waited video. 🎉🎉

I have app timers on my phone! My phone offers app timers that connect with other apps so if I spend time using a certain group of apps it locks for the entire day. So far it encourages me to change my mindset about how much time I spend on my phone to the point where I use my laptop more, and I only use my laptop for productivity anyway which is a double win!

Early! Love your content!

Nice video, much of your presentation could be covered by the word "Mindfulness". Something that I've embraced quite recently, aged 54 after an existential crisis. That you've arrived at this frame of mind at such a young age is wonderful, embrace it, embrace who you are and enjoy the moment.

Cole, it's a good video, I see you are doing some inner work I hope you are hanging in there after the break-up

I can't beleive how much efforts he is putting but he's still underrated

This is such an amazing video, as well as the comment section. These are topics that I’ve discussed within therapy that I’m currently paying for. I mention this because these are extremely important topics and concepts that shouldn’t be behind a paywall, and i’m so excited and thankful for someone such as Cole to bring this to light for those who might not have access to therapy, and can begin taking those first steps for themselves.

I think after this I have to re read atomic habits. In the last week I was returning to my older self (their habits) and I felt like I was going back again. After this I got aware of my emotions and after that I think I'm going back on track.

I wish i had a mentor who will work with me on getting my lost, no direction life turned around! Videos are great but i have a hard time learning this way. I have ADD so my attention wanders or i dont retain the information! Its a tough existence!

Lesson from video: self awareness is helpful ONLY IF you can change your BEHAVIOR as a result. Change of emotions comes from the changed behavior.

do you authentically believe in example 3 (negative thought pattern)?? because I feel like after some contemplation you would not actually align with this step. Making your own beliefs is not usually a good answer and will lead to disaster. This is why religion/tradition is important - humans following their own selfish desires will lead to disaster. In the right context shame and moral structures are important in my opinion, thoughts?

@ColeHastings

4 ай бұрын

I don’t think I was arguing against moral structures here. It’s true that societies collapse under hyper individualism, where nobody agrees on anything. But when it comes to you not feeling good enough, or fearing failure, or any other belief that isn’t serving both yourself and others, that’s something you need to change, because it’s inaccurate

I like your second point here, a unified societal acceptance of general moral structures that still provides individuals the freedom to create more niche belief systems.

It is completely untrue that education is meant for obedient workers. This is not at all what we are thought in the teaching bachelors degree. The absolute main goals are for people to have basic understanding of how the world works while helping you find interest in what subjects you want to explore further on your own but also what role you can find in society. There is no teacher who will tell you there is a KZreadr who knows the truth, the point is for you to think for yourself.

Self improvement is worth nothing when you die and get judged for all your crimes against God and get cast into the lake of fire. Since every sin is an crime against God and he is an eternal being, it deserves an eternal punishment. Because God is not only perfectly righteous but also perfectly mercifull He came into this world and sacrificed His only Son to pay for the debt you made with God. God loves us that much!
