@ExploringReality That’s a powerful and helpful response—thank you!

Each time you step on Instagram, TikTok or any other shortform social media, you get quickly sucked into the dopamine hit of stories, reels, posts, likes and trends. Everyone is trying to grab your attention, hook you and grow — EVEN if the content is good & touches on important topics. The problem is the platform is designed for short attention span. Yes, it’s fine once in a while to get some inspiration, and see what’s going on. But it’s a double edged sword. You get more out of being there less, and instead, digging into deeper stuff that requires longer attention span. Personally I do use Instagram for my brand The Vital Fred, but I’d like to move my health and personal development content to YouTube, because I see There’s a trap in falling into the reel race. Having to post constantly to survive. Having to grow one’s audience. To reach wider and bigger. You get addicted to the growth, and you get attached to more followers and status. You feel pressure that you must post. You get information overload just being on the platform, because it quickly sucks you in. You don’t really go in depth, it’s helpful—but It’s not profound enough. You don’t take the time to read, study and create something profound, because you get information overload, shortened attention span & lower consciousness. This insight makes me naturally want to be less on social media, and spend more time letting go, researching, contemplating and building profound, deeper stuff (For me health and personal development related, because that’s my life purpose). I don’t disregard it completely, I’m just using it less. Curious on what you guys’ relationships are with social media—how much time you spend on it and how it affects you. Let me know your take.

@Flowerfaeiry Yea, I checked it out I love your message — well done for posting consistently for so long, I know it’s not easy at all. As I mentioned it can definitely be helpful if we use it consciously, and post valuable stuff. But yes, a big part is hooking the audience, and knowing what the intent of one’s content is: is it networking, dating, to inspire, express art, create a coaching business, a brand etc. I like the idea of combining it with YouTube. Which is my plan. @BlessedLion exactly. And I like that thought-experiment. Longer periods of focused attention is hard, but much more fruitful than dabbling from one topic to the next constantly—something I’m working on improving. @integral I’m building a health & personal development brand—you get the idea when you see my instagram. I’m building on a course everything related to improving one’s health through mainly diet & functional movement.

@Leo Gura Is it possible to see the Infinite God even in an avatar like Donald Trump? To have that much patience and compassion?

Thank you all for the answers!🙏🏼 The wisdom and insights are appreciated

I can get overwhelmed when I feel I have 1000s of things I ‘should’ do and focus on. And then I tend to distract myself & feel anxiety. I’m curious if you guys have sort of a “reset ritual” when you have overwhelm? Note: I’m a ‘high achiever’, I play tennis, do gymnastics, skiing, and my family is economists, lawyers & business people and they have expectations, and I have expectations for myself. My purpose though is elevating the health and consciousness of mankind. These are things I try to tell myself: “There’s no one to show, impress or get validation from.” “There is no amount of money you must make, gold medals you must win, places you must travel to, girls you must chase or success in career or life you must obtain.” “There’s no need to rush to anywhere.” “Everything’s ok”, “Life’s a game”, “There’s nowhere to go & nothing to accomplish”. “Life is perfect now, has always been & will always be.” Take 5 deep breaths. Take a step back. Get rid of noise & distraction. Notice signal. Write reflections, write your story of what happens this moment. Slowly recalibrate, and love existence now. What are you guys’ ways to deal with overwhelm, anxiety and distraction? Especially when you build on Life Purpose, Actualize and Grow.

@Davino Thanks - makes lotta sense. I like the idea of microdosing until the body is ready for the full blast. @Davino I’m curious, if you could recommend 1 psychedelic and 1 psychedelic only to ever use, would that be 5 MeO? Thanks everyone for the answers.

I Don’t recommend wearing wireless earbuds. They fry the brain with EMF signals that are sent through the brain. The brain is run on waves, and so is these wireless earbuds. They disrupt brain signals. I don’t recommend wearing them @Leo Gura. You’ll feel a difference. Go wired earphones instead. Curious on your take

Much appreciated fellas🤝🏼 @Davino yup I’m working on creating a personal brand business (Vital Fred) integrating health & self-improvement/consciousness. @BlessedLion Your approach (with the YT) is inspiring.

It’s refreshing to come back here on the forum and on @Leo Gura’s blog, and always get a meta perspective on what’s going on in the world. Of course people here are on various stages of development, but generally this is a high conscious community. It is impressive for me how Leo and the moderators here are able to keep this community in tact and how Leo keeps his teachings pure—although his tone might be harsh sometimes. It requires high levels of intelligence, egolessness & purity to keep one’s teachings this clean and at such a high level, without it being inflicted by corruption. This is difficult to do because you gotta survive… wherever you look in our culture there’s always someone trying to sell something. Of course you need to survive and have a business that thrives. But having a business with very low level corruption with pure intentions is a difficult but impressive feat. Thanks for this work — Grateful🙏🏼 I use the wisdom to create my own profound and conscious business and do Good in the world. Regards thevitalfred💪🏼

Any Danish likeminded people who wanna meet in Copenhagen? It’d be cool

@Basman Sorry to disappoint you then.

@Leo Gura Brilliant answer.

Do it @Leo Gura. There’s much more to win than there is to loose. Such a big opportunity to get more people in this game. Love > Fear Don’t let the fear of conspiracy theorists and the ‘Rogan Audience’ take away the opportunity to enlighten a heck ton of people.

@Leo Gura If they just stuck to the first ones you mentioned lol— Cold plunging, sunbathing, jiu jitsu, carnivore diet (although I’d add some fruit & veg to the carnivore diet) then that would be better:)

@Leo Gura So all those years of meditation, boredom, suffering etc… it’s debatable what the benefits actually were, compared to just enjoying life / having more fun/playing? Instead of sitting in strict meditation like Shinzen young?

I agree—Leo needs more Sun—The Life source on earth. and Yes, an amazing, very dense episode.

@5-D - L O V E Be careful of giving your energy to others and depending on others to love you. Sounds like you thought pleasing others and filling them with love would make them love you back. But it didn’t happen. Focus on yourself. Love yourself bit by bit—do the activities you like to do, without trying to please others. And the more you love life, the more people will gravitate toward you, because they ‘Feel’ that energy. Do the simple low-hanging fruit stuff: Go for nature walks, do some heavy lifts, eat good food, sleep deeply — cover the basics.

If you eat nutritious real whole foods you don’t even need to brush your teeth. Haven’t brushed my teeth for 2 years. (Only a couple times a month I use some coconut oil on my teeth) All I eat is ground beef, butter, eggs, raw milk, organs, fruit, raw honey, white rice, sweet potatoes and some veggies. Fix Your Gut First and your Teeth will Fix Themselves.

How do I reconcile this (it’s hard to accept): 1. That I can Be Happy Here and Now. Yes. I know I can stand at the corner of a street with the Sun hitting my face and BE HAPPY. And that The only thing keeping me unhappy is… …the stories in my mind. 2. Being happy surviving, chasing, doing But what about Contributing to mankind, building cool projects, building businesses and accumulating wealth? How do I balance being Happy NOW and still building cool businesses??? Is true happiness then Now? Or only WHEN you’ve build that business? And What separates me and the beggar on the street? the stories in my mind? The “idea” that you have more “value” than the beggar? could you sit like the beggar and be happy.Needing nothing else than right Now? This is not easy, how do I build a business and still be happy now?

@Chadders Try homemade kefir made on kefir grains and raw milk as well as bone broth—these are the most powerful ways to heal your gut. And no, don’t take antibiotics.

@Paradoxed @Hojo noooooo my mind can’t comprehend that I want to reach goals, I want to achieve, I want to contribute, I want a big career but My sister is a lawyer, she hates her job (In Boston Consulting Group) she always talks about how horrible the work environment is. My brother is a consultant, (in Deloitte) he constantly talks about how little he looks forward to Mondays and feels it is mostly a drag to work, only at times he likes it, but he feels like a cog in a machine. My dad is an investor—he invests in companies, and he is busy working, and he don’t admit it but he’s a workoholic. It’s tough to have a family of high achievers, yes we’re wealthy, but there are high expectations. I want to live through something that I’m truly passionate about though. I love health, I love the mind, I love writing, I love sharing and helping people improve their health and mind. I don’t wanna climb the corporate ladder like my family. I want freedom and sovereignty. The path I see is being an authentic creator sharing wisdom about health and the mind.

@Hojo but you can’t just be happy RIGHT NOW AND HERE? You can’t just do NOTHING and be happy? I mean you have to build on your life purpose, relationships, learning, understanding and accomplishing something. You have to reach goals and get far in life, whether you’re a teenager, adult or an elderly—you gotta accomplish something right? Yes I get FOMO because I need to make something out of my life! I can’t just sit around and meditate, That’s a waste of time, right?

Hopefully you’re joking.

@Leo Gura lol
