Well said my friend! Traveler: "What kind of weather are we going to have today?" Shepard: "The kind of weather I like." Traveler: "How do you know it will be the kind of weather you like?"

So I am quite sure we will have the kind of weather I like." ~ Anthony de Mello "Heart of the Enlightened" You can dance in the rain, or sulk in the rain. It will rain regardless.

The beauty in your videos is irreplacable. I have been invested in them for some while and it pains me on how people do not pay much heed to such advise yet they divert themselves towards useless entertainment.

I have experienced anxiety so much this year with transitioning to looking for a new job that I want to get, moving into a new apartment, trouble with finances, anger, frustration, etc. One way that i have dealt with this is taking walks.

I have experienced anxiety very much quite a lot in my life, but then I realize that life comes through us, and then it made me even conclude that seeking pleasure in comfort is nothing but seeking weakness, I am quite hard on myself It's been a very tumultuous ride, some paths and roads are just not meant for you, even if you walkthrough nothing changes, It's the change of perspective not the prospect

Like you said, dead is something we all will be sooner or later confronted with, but there is anxiety because we have (just like animals) a thrive to live, which leads to reasonable repressing and this shows in society where death has no place in daily life (contrary to the past i think). Thinking of death is such an overwhelming concept. I had a lot of anxiety of dying. For me i like to think at it as borrowed time we get on earth and at some point we have to give it back. In the meantime we may enjoy life and thrive for the goals we have. This thought almost has something beautiful and soothing to me, maybe because it brings a feeling of connectedness. Eventually this view will change in the funture and become some other perspective, but for now it is sufficient to lower my anxiety :)

In an age of distraction and "manifesting" effortfully, we need to find the balance, and i think acceptance and thoughtful reflection is it. Thanks.

These days I'm dealing with much anxiety. A lot has happened for the last few months, and nothing much has been resolved. So yes, I feel the pressure of not knowing what to do.

As I got older and now I have family to support I keep getting panic attacks especially in the mornings when I get up, and it's happening more and more often.

This is really important thought. Thank you. It is difficult to find out how you should live, especially if some of your major plans for life did not work out. For years I thought I will have a family in my thirties and that will somehow organize my life, solve all ' thinking' with business. Now I am close to 40 an I know for medical reasons this will not happen. I am trying to invent myself again now. My life is somehow different than I expected, unfortunately I lost good bonds with my sister and a friend who are both mothers. But in the same time, I am able to reflect more on my life and what I want. I appreciate your work and commitment to this channel. Thanks again, all the best.

My biggest problem is that mentally I accept everything with equanimity but my body acts in a different way it's stubbornly stiff and cannot just take it easy. The only reasonable solution seems to be identifying myself with myself who cannot be affected by mental or physical states.

My experience is that the conceptualisation of our world is in an attempt to escape the sensations of our body. All your body wants is your attention. Give it that and it will return to homeostasis.

Finally someone who touches on stoic thought without taking an anti-emotional/ robotic stance, but rather a dialectically controlled stance. Does he have any other socials that he shares ideas on?

I started crying watching this, because i have been struggling with anxiety and a myriad of mental health issues for a while, but since a year or so I have been feeling so much anxiety, just a constant dread of life and wanting to control but also being aware that I cannot and in turn just panicking more.

Could you do a video or mention any of the books you would recommend that align with your perspective. I live reading and most of my books comes from looking what others whom I look to are reading. I saw you had a lot of books in one of your other videos. Thank you for this. Love the material. Your scenery looks like Canada!

Another great video! This topic hits home because I constantly think about death in general; getting old, and how it will be when I start losing my loved ones. Healthy detachment and acceptance is necessary to overcome that anxiety. Thanks for the reminder 🖤

Everything I needed to hear today. Amazing Synchronicity ❤

Just been through this & I am coming out of it better than I was before….🙏🏽🌺

Wise words ❤thank you.

End is certain. The pain associated with it is certain as well. I avoid acquiring attachments altogether to avoid dealing with this pain. This has lead me to have no friends, no partner, no pets, only essential material possessions. I have been aware of this inevitability, but I haven't figured out the right way to deal with it. I am pretty sure that avoiding these attachments in the first place is not healthy as well. Would like to hear your thoughts on this.

Life is temporary, attachments are temporary. You’re robbing yourself of the very experiences that make life worth living by avoiding forming attachments. Whether you like it or not, there is already something you’re attached to and it will cause you distress to lose it. It’s good to have things worth losing. I say this as someone who lost my entire immediate family by the age of 21.

How do you prepare? Every time I think about it, I am brought to tears and stress, causing a migraine. How can I prepare without such a visceral reaction?

Hey brother, ever since I found your channel I’ve been drawn more to the philosophies and being the master of my mind. In a similar vein to the topic of this video, have you read anything about dealing with insecurities? And some wisdom or strategies one might use to work on these things. I’m really fond of this channel, thanks for sharing the wisdom with us!

Thank u ... over and over again

You’re a delight to listen to and look at.

For most people, isn't anxiety a fear or sense of dread for the future? Isn't anxiety instigated by an spontaneous attempt their mind makes at trying to parse through and unwilligly prepare for what is to come? On that note, I believe the whole process of preparation can be precisely what causes some people to feel a debilitating level of anxiety, which is why so many of them instinctively don't engage in the exercise of preparation in the first place. Maybe the problem comes from people doing it unwillingly, but from what I've observed, telling them to do it with full awareness, still wouldn't make the feeling subside.

You a beast homie

Grief is a reaction to loss; Anxiety is a mental disorder. I like that you talk about preparation; however, thinking and preparing can only get you so far. Coping with grief isn’t parallel to coping with anxiety. I’m a griever and know from first hand experience that the two are not in the same category. They can overlap, sure, but anxiety can decrease in severity with constant work. Loss leaves the heart irreparably broken due to the love and life shared that is now missing an important someone.

Hearts don't break, they change. I understand that you're feeling empty now that person is gone, but remember that time heals all, so just be still and grieve genuinely, and you will heal in time.

I'm there right now. I'm exhausted. My beautiful angel furbaby best friend seems to be on his way out. I dreaded this time and now it seems to be here. I can't even say it affirmatively because it hurts so much so I say "it seems". I'm in denial. But I'm working through because I can't change it. It would be worst if I died and he couldn't be with me. I can be stronger at his absence than he would be w/o me. We have been together every day and night since 2012, except for one night when he had to overnight at the vet. Indeed, I feel that I am looking at a tsunami. Oh to grieve before they even leave because you know it's coming...

I truly feel your grief, and I’m sorry that you’re experiencing so much pain. I’ve been through this 5 (FIVE) times with my beloved fur babies in less than 3 years. The first succumbed to cancer with so little warning that nothing could be done. We were so close, I felt like he was my own son. I had about 2 weeks to come to terms with this, and then gave him permission to leave when he was ready because he was in such pain. I had a vision of our light bodies, and know that I am always holding him. During this same time period, my baby sister was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. This was something that had never even crossed my mind. She was the strongest woman I’ve ever known. She died 6 months later, having endured a level of pain and suffering that was difficult even to see. It was a tremendous shock, and the emotional pain was so unbearable that I had to deny it for quite some time. I’ve been living with more death, and pain, and grief in these last few years than I could ever have imagined. It didn’t just start recently, but this period of loss has been so intense that I haven’t had enough “recovery” time in between. I am exhausted too. I think maybe I’m a little stronger though. When you find ways to live with losses that you thought you couldn’t possibly bear, it eventually gives you a different sense of freedom that I can’t really explain yet. I just want you to know that I understand how you feel. If I can possibly help in any way, please ask. ❤

My furbaby child departed on April 10. I am riding an excruciating emotional roller coaster in a world that feels like foreign lands without him. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. It means a lot!

The hole I see in this argument, or this perspective, is that if we merely accept things for what they are, we surrender to the idea that we shouldn't bother trying to change anything, and this is problematic as well. To accept things as they are is a principle that can be useful in the right context. But the status quo is not something that we should just accept with complete surrender. Or else slavery, segregation, gender inequality and much more would still be the status quo. What do you think about this?

You can't change something unless you first accept it. That's the paradox. Once you fully accept something, then you can decide whether or not to act on it, but if you run away from it, you don't get to make the choice

Hey, there is a spiritual realm. There are demons and there are angels of God! Jesus Christ died and three days later rose again to his father! Jesus won! We, children of God won, we have power over the demons - who by the way, deceive you and bring thoughts to you that cause anxiety! I crushed anxiety when I figured this out. Don’t be deceived by him or the devil! You will see your beloved in heaven - remember Jesus won for us!!!! Praise God, hallelujah!!!
