@sda I'll try

@sda I feel like my ego will use that opportunity to slack off and backslide even more. So when I have taken the two days off I will not do the work to overcome resistance. @Spence94 I 15 and experiencing properly my worst ego backlash it even feels kinda good to slack off and do instant gratification stuff (I'm watching Setting Proper Expectations by Leo Gura hopefully that can help me)

@bejapuskas I doubt there is and I haven't found what I'm into yet only the values like leadership, contribution, and so forth.

@SamC Right now I'm still in school so I will try the technique to be more motivated to study. I have the life purpose course but feel unmotivated to do it. @bejapuskas Yeah I find that very true when I was working on the life purpose course I found my top ten values and after I had done the exercises I literally started to cry because they were so aligned with what I wanted. But now I become pissed and annoyed if I can't tap into that within one visualization. (Maybe that's a perfectionism problem) @Danioover9000 Yeah, I also remember psycho cybernetics talking about how you should visualize every detail of that vision to get the most out of it.

@Danioover9000 Yeah I also bought the life purpose course but the ego backlash and resistance are stopping me. Maybe I'm just expecting a magic pill solution that will bring back my motivation for self-help. But I really feel like I can't get out of this backsliding state. Was there any video(s) that really got you back on track or help you with counteracting the ego backlash?

@NoSelfSelf Like a properly mini-vacation

@Inva How? @kag101 Well I go to school and have homework

I don't remember how it happened but suddenly I was in an ego backlash, It has become to the point where I have so much resistance that even being is painful. I need to visualize my goals to get back on track but even thinking about doing visualization is painful. I've gone back to unhealthy eating, playing video games, almost watching porn, and almost quitting meditation because there's so much resistance invovled.

@kag101 Thanks for the advice I know Self-negotiation is a huge factor and I really think I need a vision as well. Under motivation in Leo's blueprint, he also describes that you need the vision to stay motivated. But when I self-negotiate on visualizing or working on the life purpose I feel like I am not doing enough.

@mandyjw That makes a lot of sense. Thanks

@Eternal Unity Properly around 6.30 to 7 hours through Monday to Friday and then Saturday and Sunday I have an alarm set but stops it and go back to sleep

@Julian gabriel Sounds like a good idea, I will try it out @Eternal Unity I just heard some of it when I woke up but felt so resistant to it. But I feel more relaxed now so I will hear it outside later

Hello everyone Here's my problem: Before I discovered self-help I bought a course on how to sell on Amazon FBA and started working on that. I bought goods and started a company but haven't got my products up and running because there is so much hassle I have to go through and I just don't know if it's worth it. I'm 15 as I write this and have already used a lot of money on the Amazon FBA course and goods around 1500 dollars and it just feels too painful to stop a lose it all. I know it's probably not a lot of money but still. Right now I don't pay rent or anything like that so it's probably the best moment to quit but still. I've begun Leo's life purpose course but I'm really slacking off even though I know it's one of the most important things in my life. Here's my question: Should I quit the amazon FBA thing even though I know it's painful and grind on my life purpose or should I try to get the business up and running even though I'm not passionate about it, make the money back I spend, and quit it?

@Bob Seeker True

@hyruga Yes

Just rewatched Leo's How To Stop Being A Victim part 1 video and I'm curious about how to keep the mindset for taking massive action because every time I get into the mindset after some time I fall back to my old habits or resist taking action

@integral For me, Mindomo also seems great for having a big picture over projects

As I have been self-actualizing I have found this accruing pattern that stops me from learning. I don't know what it is called but when I am unfocused or distracted while watching a video I don't understand how the techniques work therefore I blame and say they don't work. I think its a form of self-deception because when I do make myself one hundred percent committed I understand the techniques and are able to get out of my root. Does anybody know what is the thing called which makes me unfocused and distracted? (I feel like having a word for it I will make it easier for me to call it out)

@integral I have a commonplace book (Onenote 2010) where I take notes and organizing them but does that also include mind mapping. I saw something on a note-taking app that was called obsidian.MD and it had a really swear mind mapping/ graph view feature but I have found any plugin or add-ins you can use with OneNote 2010

@sda Yeah, working on my life purpose as I am not desperate for money will properly be the best opportunity. But in my mind, it seems like it will take longer to earn revenue from your most passionate thing because it could be a very specific thing that is maybe hard to market. I might be wrong though. And also eating a healthy diet is somewhat more expensive than a conventional diet so I'm afraid that my parents one day will say you have to eat something else, this is too expensesive (That might not happen but still)

@Megan Alecia Thanks @Charlotte Recently it was the negotiating technique on how to stop procrastinating. I have watched the video like 4-5 times and criticized it for not working until recently where I really tried to understand what Leo's advice was, and then puff I realized how powerful the technique is. The worst thing is that this always keeps me stuck because when it happens I'm so cut up in it that I'm not able to see it.

@Inva I will do my best Do you guys think Leo will ever make a discord group for self-actualizing people?

I will promise that (What I wouldn't do without such an amazing forum)

Ah-ha! Boys, I think I found out why it wasn't able to sustain any changes. I was missing the negotiation part which just created more resistance because I would tell myself you have to complete the whole thing or come on! But it also seems kinda foolish negotiating because I don't want to stay in my bad habits. Let me give you an example. Holding yourself accountable for the things you should be doing then suddenly you feel a wave of resistance and just wanna go back to seeing crap on youtube. I just feel like if I give myself some space to watch crap on youtube I will never change.

Oh yeah, and also I something about Sadhguru and Dalai Lama saying that about that you shouldn't do drugs (but that's a different thing) or something like that because it will just create more delusion in your mind.
