Hello guys This post rather belongs to personal development and not to self actualization. A big topic in personal development is emotional stability and mastery. For me, this also is one of the most important things in life. And to become and stay emotionally stable it is important to resolve childhood trauma. For that, one must find them. Maybe this may sound a little weird, but I don't think I have some of those. I consider myself a very lucky person in terms of environment in which I grew up and innate emotional stability. I don't remember any serious psychologically damaging experiences and my childhood and youth (currently at the age of 20). The mentally most difficult things were being the smallest boy in class, stuttering and a crush who didn't love me back in my teenage years. But even those things were never a big problem. At the age of 17, for months I was able to control myself with relative ease to not get upset. My motivation was that getting upset felt really shitty, independently of the trigger of the emotion. And almost nobody in my family or circle of friend could relate to me. Maybe this is because of my genetics or something, but I see myself really as very emotionally stable, much more than anybody around me. Am I deluding myself? I don't want some hidden shadows to catch up with me. How can I dig deep for some unresolved childhood problems? Shamanic breathing? Psychedelics? Contemplating? Thanks for your tips and much love :3

@Matt23 yeah it also got away in my case, but it was so strange. I literally could not move them for like 5 mins after the end of the 30 mins. @Nahm The thing is I don't even feel pain about my past. I just assume that there has to be something hidden beneath the surface of my soul. Maybe I'm searching after bad experiences to train my emotional mastery. But I guess I can only do that in Actuality.

@Logan Hey thanks for your detailed response dude, I am really happy for you that you are now so successful

Hello all. I'm considering taking the Life Purpose Course. Right now I am studying at university, but I don't know if I want to make a living from it. I will have completed my first degree in summer 2021 and then have to decide whether to do something else or continue studying. I mean the study really does interest me, but I don't feel a sense of passion. I think i can get more out of life than that. I wonder what my Life Purpose will be, right now I don't have a fucking clue . It probably has to do with helping others. Anyways, my question to you guys is: How much time does one need on average to find (not to actualize!) his/her Life Purpose with the help of the Course? The course lasts 25 hours, and I guess that's not even the half of the work? Could someone share their experience? I have a few months pause between my current study and my next one, which starts in autumn 2021 and hopefully that is enough time.

That sounds like a good idea. Preferably I would take my own circle of friends as that community, but I don't know if they take personal development so seriously (even though we talk about it). I'll see how good it works. I tried shamanic breathing once for 30 minutes. My whole body tingled and i got cramps in my hands and feet. But I'll try it again!

Sometimes I give up reading long texts when reading In English (not my mother tongue) gets too demanding, leads especially to not always bothering to read all responses in a thread. I put too much value on answers/threads from people I do know/too little value on answers/threads from people I don't know My English is rather simple and unpretentious

Alright, thanks you for your answer psychedelics really sound interesting, I consider working with them as well. But of course, safety first (physical and psychological). Yeah, I also thought about putting myself into extra challenges. Thanks for your advice I am already keeping an emotional diary, so that will definitely help me. So far I didn't think much about minor problems, thanks for sharing that perspective also, nice analogy. I've heard about it and will look up on that, thank you =) I've already read "The Power Of Now", I get what you mean. But I wouldn't rule out that unconscious memories and feelings can impact my thinking and behaving in an rather unfortunate way. That's why I wanna bring them to daylight. I myself don't know wether it's so easy to live after that philosophy or not. But thanks to all of you for your answers =) much love

Ah okay. How much time do the exercises take? Just interested. That's a point I didn't even think of. Hmm, you are probably right. 10 years would really be a gigantic challenge. And the right strategic action is taking the money and time to do it. Alright. Thanks for sharing your experience, I wish you success on your further actualization As always in life. That sounds very cool anyways. Hopefully I'll be able to do the exercises genuinely, I'm already meditating and journaling on a daily basis. Thanks for your sharing Congrats on your success and thanks for your sharing.
