  • 00:00:00
    I think that the main thing that stops
  • 00:00:02
    us from sort of building an identity
  • 00:00:06
    that we actually resonate with is how
  • 00:00:08
    much we get attached and stuck on our
  • 00:00:11
    unchanging self and what I mean by that
  • 00:00:14
    is not you know just
  • 00:00:16
    like not liking yourself when you're
  • 00:00:19
    changing or not liking what you Chang
  • 00:00:20
    into or not liking yourself at the
  • 00:00:22
    moment but not being able to let
  • 00:00:25
    yourself
  • 00:00:27
    go let yourself change you know embrace
  • 00:00:30
    ing your own change and I've been
  • 00:00:31
    wanting to make a video on this for a
  • 00:00:33
    minute because I feel like it's
  • 00:00:35
    something that's super pre prevalent
  • 00:00:37
    especially in this current
  • 00:00:39
    generation not being able to allow
  • 00:00:41
    yourself to change and I feel like I was
  • 00:00:43
    like this for so long I've been like
  • 00:00:44
    this I feel like like up until recently
  • 00:00:48
    which I hate to say cuz I like to think
  • 00:00:50
    that I've been pretty self-conscious of
  • 00:00:51
    myself for a while but up until recently
  • 00:00:54
    I didn't really allow myself at least in
  • 00:00:56
    mind to change and I didn't understand
  • 00:00:58
    why and it's a lot of mental
  • 00:01:02
    conditioning I was reading a book called
  • 00:01:05
    becoming Supernatural it kind of
  • 00:01:06
    highlights a lot of the the points of
  • 00:01:08
    that it's
  • 00:01:11
    essentially um saying that we kind of
  • 00:01:13
    get addicted to who we are we get
  • 00:01:15
    addicted to the chemicals of our
  • 00:01:17
    experiences of the past we get addicted
  • 00:01:19
    to who we were um and we just Loop those
  • 00:01:22
    over and over again and I don't know if
  • 00:01:24
    many of you believe in like
  • 00:01:25
    manifestation or anything like that but
  • 00:01:27
    even on a fundamental level you know if
  • 00:01:30
    you're constantly playing the same
  • 00:01:31
    thoughts and same actions and reliving
  • 00:01:33
    those experiences your body is going to
  • 00:01:36
    keep thinking you're going through
  • 00:01:38
    that it's it's almost inescapable and
  • 00:01:41
    it's almost like you know how can you
  • 00:01:42
    change when you know the situations
  • 00:01:45
    occurring at the moment how can you
  • 00:01:47
    change when you're reliving the exact
  • 00:01:49
    experience that got you to the point
  • 00:01:50
    you're in right
  • 00:01:51
    now and I'm not saying just forget you
  • 00:01:54
    know that's hard to forget even in my
  • 00:01:56
    experience
  • 00:01:57
    like there's still stuff that I hold on
  • 00:02:00
    to that I'm constantly trying to work
  • 00:02:03
    on things in the past that I didn't
  • 00:02:05
    necessarily like how it went or feel
  • 00:02:08
    like I could have handled better or feel
  • 00:02:10
    like I just needed a little more Insider
  • 00:02:12
    maturity to get
  • 00:02:14
    through but in saying that I realized
  • 00:02:17
    that you know no change is going to
  • 00:02:19
    occur unless I let myself go unless we
  • 00:02:22
    let ourselves develop unless we make a
  • 00:02:26
    change and I'm not saying like
  • 00:02:29
    intentionally change yourself I'm not
  • 00:02:31
    saying forget who you are and and not
  • 00:02:33
    neglect not or neglect who you
  • 00:02:36
    were because I feel like once we do that
  • 00:02:38
    I feel like you know on a fundamental
  • 00:02:40
    level it might be easy
  • 00:02:42
    to forget yourself or to act different I
  • 00:02:47
    can go out and act like a completely
  • 00:02:48
    different person but I feel like it's
  • 00:02:52
    those those Cycles I think my another
  • 00:02:56
    YouTuber named Ryan he he talks about
  • 00:02:57
    Cycles all the time it's like the ups
  • 00:02:58
    and downs but
  • 00:03:00
    once we start feeling some way once we
  • 00:03:02
    start vibing a certain way we start
  • 00:03:04
    looping those same thoughts over and
  • 00:03:06
    over again and then getting stuck in
  • 00:03:08
    those same thoughts we relive those same
  • 00:03:09
    experiences and we fail to grow as
  • 00:03:12
    people I think the first step in letting
  • 00:03:15
    yourself go the first thing that I did
  • 00:03:18
    was stop being ashamed of my own change
  • 00:03:20
    and wanting to get better you know
  • 00:03:22
    stopped being ashamed of uh trying new
  • 00:03:24
    things for
  • 00:03:26
    myself like I I've talked about it in
  • 00:03:28
    video like how I do affirm at first I
  • 00:03:30
    was like why would I do that like why
  • 00:03:31
    would I talk to myself why would I say
  • 00:03:34
    anything to myself like that I feel like
  • 00:03:36
    that's kind of
  • 00:03:38
    desperate but like one thing I realized
  • 00:03:40
    like you can't be ashamed of loving
  • 00:03:43
    yourself that's one thing you can't be
  • 00:03:45
    ashamed of yourself you know like you
  • 00:03:48
    can be ashamed of your actions this is
  • 00:03:50
    that and the
  • 00:03:51
    other but your betterment I feel like
  • 00:03:54
    that's something you have to sort of
  • 00:03:56
    hold on to and appreciate
  • 00:03:58
    regardless
  • 00:04:00
    and that's I think that's how I got to
  • 00:04:02
    the point I'm at right now I feel
  • 00:04:03
    greater than I ever did I read out my
  • 00:04:05
    list of affirmations I say stuff every
  • 00:04:07
    morning every night I used to do three
  • 00:04:09
    times a day but you know time just not
  • 00:04:11
    really on my side I get I leave the
  • 00:04:13
    house my dorm at like 8:00 a.m. and I
  • 00:04:15
    come back at like 10: so it gets kind of
  • 00:04:18
    hard some days but on those days where I
  • 00:04:20
    can you know it's important to reinforce
  • 00:04:24
    those things in your head cuz as I said
  • 00:04:26
    before like those negative Loops those
  • 00:04:29
    negative cycles of thought you know
  • 00:04:30
    you're constantly thinking these
  • 00:04:31
    negative things over and over again um
  • 00:04:34
    they have to be combed by something or
  • 00:04:36
    replaced by
  • 00:04:37
    something you know you can't replace a
  • 00:04:40
    bad habit with
  • 00:04:41
    absence you have to fill it in with
  • 00:04:43
    something good I feel like like you're
  • 00:04:46
    not going to stop you know smoking or
  • 00:04:49
    something and just instead just sit
  • 00:04:52
    still you know you're going to find
  • 00:04:54
    something else to to fill that vacancy
  • 00:04:57
    and I feel like a lot of people we have
  • 00:04:58
    vacancies inside
  • 00:05:01
    ourself and we like to fill it up with
  • 00:05:03
    our previous experiences and uh our own
  • 00:05:09
    inaction I think people get stuck and
  • 00:05:11
    stagnant and I always use the quote like
  • 00:05:14
    he who thinks the journey is over is
  • 00:05:15
    true the L and that's what I mean you're
  • 00:05:17
    not we're not letting ourselves continue
  • 00:05:19
    our
  • 00:05:21
    journey we accept the connotation we get
  • 00:05:23
    comfortable with a
  • 00:05:26
    connotation and it's not really Comfort
  • 00:05:28
    within Who We Are comfort with an idea
  • 00:05:31
    comfort with a a
  • 00:05:36
    definition like I I used to think myself
  • 00:05:39
    that it was more comfortable to have
  • 00:05:40
    definition to have that not to say that
  • 00:05:43
    I don't have a definition for myself at
  • 00:05:44
    all but but to say
  • 00:05:47
    that being comfortable with myself while
  • 00:05:50
    I'm changing and I think see a couple
  • 00:05:53
    people like that that little um that bit
  • 00:05:55
    in my last video where I talked about
  • 00:05:57
    how you have to be comfortable with
  • 00:05:59
    yourself yourself while you're changing
  • 00:06:00
    not just at the beginning or end you
  • 00:06:02
    can't be too comfortable at those sides
  • 00:06:04
    either and when I say Comfort I don't
  • 00:06:06
    mean
  • 00:06:09
    like don't be comfortable in a sense
  • 00:06:11
    like don't be
  • 00:06:12
    happy I mean don't be comfortable in a
  • 00:06:14
    sense that you think that's the
  • 00:06:16
    end you know don't be
  • 00:06:19
    stagnant I think there's so much more to
  • 00:06:21
    life and so much more that we can
  • 00:06:23
    experience as people that we fa to truly
  • 00:06:27
    appreciate just out of you know our
  • 00:06:31
    inability to realize our own change and
  • 00:06:33
    realize our own potential to
  • 00:06:35
    change I think that a lot of people can
  • 00:06:38
    do a lot of great things I see great
  • 00:06:41
    things all the time
  • 00:06:43
    and you know I'm s I'm starting to think
  • 00:06:46
    I was right about that a little bit not
  • 00:06:48
    necessarily because of my own growth
  • 00:06:51
    mind y'all I thank y'all so much I
  • 00:06:54
    couldn't Express in words how how
  • 00:06:56
    grateful I am to have y AB board and or
  • 00:06:59
    with me like I don't really know it's
  • 00:07:01
    crazy experience but like I've been
  • 00:07:04
    telling my friends who are kind of
  • 00:07:05
    creative or do anything like just put
  • 00:07:08
    your stuff out
  • 00:07:10
    there just do it I've been putting stuff
  • 00:07:12
    out for two
  • 00:07:13
    years and like it's been great every
  • 00:07:17
    every second I just love doing it but
  • 00:07:20
    it's about putting yourself out there
  • 00:07:21
    and allowing you know yourself to change
  • 00:07:24
    with it yourself to change with the
  • 00:07:28
    circumstance
  • 00:07:32
    I feel like it's too easy to not do
  • 00:07:36
    anything too easy to run go through your
  • 00:07:39
    life
  • 00:07:40
    and you know realize that you could have
  • 00:07:44
    done something else or that maybe your
  • 00:07:48
    passion was
  • 00:07:49
    attainable it's about letting yourself
  • 00:07:51
    go to explore but also being conscious
  • 00:07:54
    and mindful of the implications of your
  • 00:07:57
    actions you know is it's real easy for
  • 00:08:00
    me to say you know let go acting like
  • 00:08:02
    people don't have you know their
  • 00:08:03
    day-to-day stuff I have my day-to-day
  • 00:08:05
    stuff I can't you can't let go of your
  • 00:08:07
    full identity what I mean is let go of
  • 00:08:09
    the parts of yourself that seek out
  • 00:08:10
    change you know you can't run from it I
  • 00:08:13
    think a lot of times we run from our
  • 00:08:17
    problems without realizing that we're
  • 00:08:19
    running from ourselves you know like
  • 00:08:21
    we're running from the parts of
  • 00:08:22
    ourselves that need to heal from certain
  • 00:08:26
    things like I myself I don't want to get
  • 00:08:29
    into too much detail I feel like I'm
  • 00:08:31
    already pretty vulnerable but you know
  • 00:08:34
    there's there's things in my life that I
  • 00:08:37
    think I have yet to overcome that I
  • 00:08:39
    still need
  • 00:08:42
    to and I'm not really ashamed of it you
  • 00:08:44
    know like I'm still working towards it
  • 00:08:46
    and I'm finding new ways to work towards
  • 00:08:47
    it you know it's about confronting your
  • 00:08:50
    problems in a way that makes you feel
  • 00:08:52
    comfortable but also like create enough
  • 00:08:54
    change cuz it's one thing to just
  • 00:08:56
    acknowledge the issue like acknowledging
  • 00:08:59
    an issue in mind knowing that
  • 00:09:00
    something's wrong is the first step it's
  • 00:09:02
    a beautiful step I think that a lot of
  • 00:09:05
    people don't even get to that step so if
  • 00:09:06
    you get like if you get there you're
  • 00:09:09
    halfway to the battle
  • 00:09:12
    man
  • 00:09:13
    but you know that other half that
  • 00:09:17
    figuring out the application and
  • 00:09:18
    figuring out yourself enough to change
  • 00:09:21
    and grow from it is entirely different
  • 00:09:24
    which is why I stress the importance of
  • 00:09:27
    sort of knowing yourself and being
  • 00:09:28
    present enough with yourself to know how
  • 00:09:29
    you feel about certain things I think a
  • 00:09:32
    lot of our traumas and stresses can be
  • 00:09:36
    mitigated with how we feel about them
  • 00:09:38
    how we feel about how we connotate it in
  • 00:09:40
    our
  • 00:09:41
    minds like I used to have a big fear of
  • 00:09:43
    public speaking I used to have a big
  • 00:09:45
    fear not necessarily a fear of just
  • 00:09:47
    expressing myself in public the way I
  • 00:09:49
    am and I think a lot of my friends and a
  • 00:09:51
    lot of people I see on a daily basis can
  • 00:09:54
    attest that you know as the years have
  • 00:09:56
    progressed as I've been developing like
  • 00:09:59
    my personality I feel like shines
  • 00:10:01
    through regardless of the situation of
  • 00:10:03
    course I'm mindful but you know like and
  • 00:10:07
    not being ashamed of being yourself like
  • 00:10:09
    a lot of the stress of like social
  • 00:10:11
    interaction kind of falls out the window
  • 00:10:13
    not saying that I'm not mindful of like
  • 00:10:15
    who I'm talking to how I'm talking to
  • 00:10:16
    them
  • 00:10:18
    but in finding yourself and which I
  • 00:10:21
    don't think I've done you know I think
  • 00:10:23
    it's it's a continuous thing
  • 00:10:26
    but in finding out the pieces and parts
  • 00:10:28
    of yourself
  • 00:10:30
    self I think it opens doors to more
  • 00:10:33
    pieces and parts just like how gratitude
  • 00:10:35

  • 00:10:36
    gratitude you know finding stuff to be
  • 00:10:39
    grateful for finding things to
  • 00:10:40
    appreciate it puts you on that that sort
  • 00:10:43
    of vibration of gratefulness and
  • 00:10:44
    gratitude and
  • 00:10:46
    love and if you express that to yourself
  • 00:10:48
    that's literally all you can
  • 00:10:50
    exude I think I said a quote in the
  • 00:10:52
    another video like loving yourself so
  • 00:10:54
    much everything you see everything you
  • 00:10:56
    interact with is an Exemplar of that
  • 00:10:58
    love
  • 00:11:01
    you got to put yourself out there for
  • 00:11:02
    yourself you have to put yourself out
  • 00:11:04
    there to
  • 00:11:06
    yourself show yourself what you're
  • 00:11:08
    capable of in a way and show
  • 00:11:10
    yourself that you know is is maybe it's
  • 00:11:12
    not maybe let me prove myself wrong at
  • 00:11:14
    this point like a couple of days ago I'm
  • 00:11:17
    constantly doing stuff I've been trying
  • 00:11:19
    to do stuff just to get myself in my
  • 00:11:20
    comfort zone and express myself in ways
  • 00:11:23
    that I'm I'm probably haven't done
  • 00:11:25
    before like I went to a uh poetry
  • 00:11:27
    Workshop where initially I was just like
  • 00:11:30
    I just like poetry I'm going to go and
  • 00:11:32
    um just sit in listen to other people
  • 00:11:34
    say but once I got there I just started
  • 00:11:37
    writing or wrote something and you know
  • 00:11:40
    I performed it I was nervous the whole
  • 00:11:43
    time but I did it like I was happy that
  • 00:11:46
    I did it at the end of the day even if I
  • 00:11:48
    stuttered once stuttered twice you know
  • 00:11:50
    I got my message out there I got what I
  • 00:11:53
    wanted to get out of it and I showed
  • 00:11:55
    myself you know regardless of my anxiety
  • 00:11:58
    and how I feel about the situation I can
  • 00:12:00
    still move
  • 00:12:01
    forward it's not about how you feel it's
  • 00:12:03
    about how you react to your
  • 00:12:05
    feelings how react you react to the
  • 00:12:07
    parts of yourself that are kind of
  • 00:12:10
    scared of the
  • 00:12:13
    situation and I say all this in
  • 00:12:14
    moderation you know I'm not saying go
  • 00:12:17
    into some super scary situation and just
  • 00:12:19
    be a a real tough guy oh my God you can
  • 00:12:22
    do
  • 00:12:23
    anything of course be mindful be smart
  • 00:12:26
    but also be courageous you know know
  • 00:12:29
    what serves you and know what doesn't
  • 00:12:31
    but also know what has potential to
  • 00:12:32
    serve
  • 00:12:37
    you I mean I feel like the biggest thing
  • 00:12:39
    we can do is serve
  • 00:12:42
    ourselves and all starts with uh letting
  • 00:12:44
    yourself
  • 00:12:47
    go being there for yourself treating
  • 00:12:49
    yourself like a
  • 00:12:50
    friend enough to the point where you
  • 00:12:54
    know you allow the parts of yourself to
  • 00:12:57
    change you know it's okay to grow it's
  • 00:12:59
    okay to not have
  • 00:13:01
    definition and I
  • 00:13:04
    think once I kind of got to that
  • 00:13:07
    point in my own development that I was
  • 00:13:10
    like okay with seeing parts of myself
  • 00:13:12
    change cuz even now I still hold on to
  • 00:13:14
    stuff you know what I'm saying this
  • 00:13:15
    stuff but like you know truth be told of
  • 00:13:18
    course I'm still working on it that's
  • 00:13:19
    kind of how I'm able to articulate it to
  • 00:13:21
    the to an
  • 00:13:24
    extent it's kind of my way of piecing it
  • 00:13:27
    together
  • 00:13:30
    you know of course there's still parts
  • 00:13:31
    of myself that I hold on to that that
  • 00:13:33
    seek out
  • 00:13:35
    change but I'm becoming more conscious
  • 00:13:37
    of it I'm becoming more present with how
  • 00:13:40
    I
  • 00:13:42
    feel because even if it's a part of
  • 00:13:45
    myself that I know seeks out
  • 00:13:47
    change you know I still love it enough
  • 00:13:50
    to let it
  • 00:13:52
    go I still appreciate what it does for
  • 00:13:55
    me I appreciate you know feelings happy
  • 00:13:57
    and sad life's only a reference to
  • 00:13:59
    light is only in reference to dark you
  • 00:14:01
    know you have to be mindful of how you
  • 00:14:04
    are conting certain things in your head
  • 00:14:06
    you know things are bad you know some
  • 00:14:08
    things are bad some things are good but
  • 00:14:11
    if it's constantly looping in your head
  • 00:14:12
    I feel like sometimes you have to use
  • 00:14:15
    Pascal's game you know sometimes you
  • 00:14:18
    have to be a little delusional I don't
  • 00:14:20
    know if this is 100% great advice you
  • 00:14:22
    know
  • 00:14:23
    but you have to let yourself
  • 00:14:27
    flourish
  • 00:14:29
    let yourself develop you know I'm not
  • 00:14:33
    saying cut everybody off and start a
  • 00:14:35
    whole new life I'm
  • 00:14:38
    saying you know cut your old version of
  • 00:14:41
    yourself off to the point where there's
  • 00:14:44
    new life inside of
  • 00:14:47
