so shitty goddamn true!

Yeah definitely I guess it really does come down to perspective

But you have to agree laziness is absolutely corrosive. I don't want to be comfortably numb I want to be stretched. He makes a great reference to Wim Hof though.

I've come to that conclusion a while ago, just didn't say out loud to myself. I have potential in so many things, that's why I always feel guilty when I'm not doing what I should do, to achieve those things.

wittyfox I agree with you 100 percent but instead our tax dollars are used in the technology of robots for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle surveillance and bombings and much more for battle. It’s taken a questionable turn if world peace is even possible with our willingness to fight than to resolve as a whole. I wish it can be made. Your idea for how our world should be is brilliant and everyone could live a fearless life without scrutiny. I’m in a veteran hospital now and the veterans here are terribly wounded from war. I don’t often see them not in pain. It’s frustrating to be here and frustrating to be out of here when I’m able to leave for a short time.

Same bro

Bahahaha!

lol! thats funny, I did too!

Me too, weeks ago, until today - but at least you (we) were aware of that and this can or will make the difference some day ;-)

😂😂😂😂

Cough** Nike **cough** Shia Labeouf **cough**

bruhh it depends on ///HOW///' you say it

If you resist doing one thing, you are wasting more energy than doing it. And because I'm lazy, I do it

That’s honestly what I live by tho, rather than dwelling on it I literally “just do it” the only think holding you back is yourself if you think about it, it’s not that hard

Yup

Amen.

If you resist doing one thing, you are wasting more energy than doing it. And because I'm lazy, I do it

Mike Johnson sending positive vibes your way

Same here. I don't even know what I want anymore.

Bless you, I can relate !

You really gave me and a lot of other people an eye-opener there!

Fuark. so true. I'm doing shit I hate which makes me miserable and "lazy" to a point of depression that I have to take meds for.

Not sure i agree there. There's more to it than that. It's possible to have and know your purpose but not act on it. Just because you know what you want and where you want to be does not in itself bring about action.

So true! Right on point!

I don't remember anybody inviting Jordan Peterson's smurf account.

100%, i cant take more than 3-4 days off work without feeling completely melted & bored off my tits, i have hobbies aswell but a good days work is the best thing for anybody imo

Walking is a good way to reduce anxiety. Walk for an hour in the park and you will feel your mind clear up.

Doing stuff is a distraction from your anxiety. You need to be content in your own skin...

Damn. Very true.

That's why weekends scare me

I have exactly the same thing.

Ross why don't you just swop the cleaning of your home with someone else they do yours and you do their's then 😂

@@wrinklies2167 haha thats a very good idea :)

@@SA77888 perhaps you could try to split it up into very small very managable things. And settle for doing one of those things every day. But also don't lie to yourself really stick to it. Only do that one thing and then feel good about it. Just a small win every day. And all the good feelings that Come with that.

I hear you I'm a roofer and a very hard worker. I'll work hard then tidy the scaffold up at the end of each day no problem and I'm quick about it, but when im at home I can never bring myself to tidy up. It's something my mrs always gets on to me about

Good to hear, I'm a month clean. Obviously not much but goon strong. I find him helpful also, except when he talks politics. That rule of don't talk religion or politics at the table applies for some reason for me when I watch youtube. I cannot stand how every entertainment person that I watch at least, sticks theor opinion into either and that's just accepted as funny. I can't do it is ruining comedy when every single comedy late night show host now has a clear political agenda and is all their shows are anymore. Love brand, just wish he'd stay to stuff like this.

Well done Matt... Although I know there is never a short cut to success, could you possibly bullet point those key factors that helped you with your sobriety? I, as I'm sure would many, would be truly appreciative.

Matt Gonzalez Good for you! That's amazing! I've never read his book, yet I do enjoy his comedy. Also enjoy his movie the performance and comedy, in them!

Power to ya man!

@wittyfox hey 1% is ok to hold back in reserve when 99% is exhausted wise move wittyfox sly but clever

Well he was a pretty bad addict back then so that would probably explain it. Check out his book on recovery. Good stuff.

I didn't like him either when he first hit the scene. He played misogynistic douchebags in movies and his commentary was always so vile and disrespectful, but looking at him now, he's proof that people can change and that's what we're here for. To find our true selves and not who society has molded us to be.

Good for you. If you have that kind of inner strength then there is no stopping you. I hope life brings you only good things 👍

Ye... I am in bed now.. told my kids I am sorry... doctor said mommy needs to rest because I have just had shoulder surgery... truth is I know I am depressed and the longer I stay in this marriage it feels like the heavier the invisible load becomes that it’s feels like I am carrying a slab a cement on my chest. I am in tears... cause mommy is suppose to be the nurturer. Daddy is there. I am dying inside and he doesn’t see. His a pastor... works with people every day helping them, encouraging them. Talks more to the people he works with and loves than he does to his own wife. He doesn’t hit me. Shout at me or anything like that. His a good dad. He loves God. But that’s all I know about him. We have been married for 9 years. When I see him with his people... how he laughs and talks to them. I just get more sad. It looks like anger but it’s not. I just feel so alone. And when he is away I enjoy my babies so much. When he is at home. I don’t want to get out of bed. I am always the one being sent for therapy. Been doing that for over 20 years. I was also drug addict once. Came clean got married to a pastor.. had kids... I worked in the same ministry.. been fired twice.... I am no angel.... I am praying to God to give him someone that will support him and give me a way out. I have no job now... so I bake. Had surgery do I can’t bake for 6 weeks. He goes off to work, kids go to school.... and I am stuck in my head.... I pray... God I pray.... I fucked up a few times in the last 10 years.... but managed to quickly get back up.... I can’t seem to get back up this time. I am crying... not for me..., but I am afraid I damage my babies.

Steven Gerrard thanks for taking the time to respond. Yes.... writing has been my saving grace many a time. Especially the days I found myself in lockup for crimes due to my addiction. I write letters to God all the time. But it seems to only come from one place.... self pity.... I assure you it’s not.... it’s more frustration.... why the fuck am I still stuck in my head.

Steven Gerrard you just happened to leave out the the part that you play football, your a star... well not to me anyway... I don’t watch football... only when I have to... and you have a gorgeous family.... and probably fucken loaded. Yip, I do believe depression like drugs or alcohol or any mental health issue is not particularly concerned with who and what you are or what you have. But one thing is for sure.... you my friend have a secret. You get to train... you can work out all your frustrations in the gym.... on the road... running... sweating.... there where no one sees you.... you run till you can’t run anymore and then you just scream... well for you it would be shout... being male and all. Ye this feels kinda awkward because I thought I would try and figure out a way to message you... not stalk you.... you safe... my husband would not be pleased. You going to have to send me a friend request; Tamarind Victoria Loock. There are two pages. Don’t send it to the one where I am wearing a blue shirt, smiling like some Celtic queen. It’s my page but I can’t get in it... don’t ask! The other page has some writing on the back.... also says Tamarind Victoria Loock - warrior bride! 👉 right... love up to your full potential isn’t it? I posted a post on face book at 3 am yesterday morning... who the hell is awake at 3 am in the morning... me... I am.... that’s normally when the truth comes out.. well my truth anyway... my perspective, which apparently somehow is flawed I keep hearing..... I got told to remove it when he got out of bed. Nothing written down there was a lie.... but I get... it’s all about his reputation. I need to respect that. And I will. And I do. I think I just sometimes want to be heard. we slept in separate rooms. Tell me, why does the wife always have to move to the spare room.... I mean I bought the bed in the main room... fuck.... you would think I should get to sleep in it. Noooo.... it’s a Afrikaner South African Male thing!!🤣🤣🤣 oh sleep in which ever bed you like, just leave me alone. It’s now fucken 1 am in the morning. In a couple of hrs the sun will be up.... what happened this weekend can never happen again. I saw my babies take strain. Not fair on them. Oh fuck, I can’t make it go away or like it never happened but I can stand up tomorrow morning, make lunch , dress them and send them off to school. When everyone is gone..., I’ll sit... ill write... I’ll cry... I realized I have suppressed emotions so deep... buried them.... if I unearth them they probably not going to look like their original design... well at this point neither do I. I told you about the part you can look me up on face book. I have messenger there. Technology is not my gifting. Writing is.

@@tammyloock3713 it isnt steven gerrard

What did you find to get you out of that mindset? My issue is that I have everything you mention happening, in and on and off pattern. And when I’m feeling one way, I can’t access the other mindset at all. It’s like living duel personalities... not to mention the feeling of memory loss that comes with it. You forget the positive thoughts you had only just a minute ago it seems. It’s not new, I haven’t figured a way to make it integrate to less degrees of black or white, so I assume it’s just the way it is. It’s been happening for 45 years. So yes, in a nutshell, I feel lazy often. Not in a good way...until I don’t, and then I get as much done as possible!

Alvina Rayne Keto Lifestyle & Vlogs Good on you. I can relate.

Torie Beck @Torie- omg, you are exactly where I’m at as far as self realization. That being the first key element, being aware of what my issues are,. It’s just finding someone to help me in a more structured motivational way on how to deal with this. I am presently seeing a therapist through my insurance that is quite nice, but I think she may not be a good fit as far as feeling comfortable with more serious topics. I have brought up 3 serious issues, and she did not asked anything particular about them. Nothing like no response when you drop a bombshell... I do suffer from ptsd. I never considered the complex part, lol, but yes it all is quite complex, lol again... the 3 D’S you mentioned will be my weekend research. I feel dissociative behavior is definitely an issue. I have found the true way to find my issues has always been on my own, except in situations like this. Total strangers have spoken such true words just from something I wrote or replied to. This is an amazing place for people who feel alone in their journey’s. Your reply is so graciously heard and appreciated. Your words have made a difference in the right direction, which I am always striving for. Direction. Thank you. ❤️🌸🙏

Or having an hangover.

Great observation. I slipped into 'laziness' after not managing my work-life balance and taking on too many side projects. At one point I just didn't have the energy and enthusiasm for any of them and ended up feeling drained.

Authenticity with oneself is key.

I think what he came to close to addressing is balancing the pain of having to do work now with the pain of (having not done anything) and regret in the future.

It is impossible to surrender your will completely, because paradoxically speaking the will would be the one that is doing the surrending, and that my friends leads us to yet another question in the long line of infinite questions. So if you surrender to everything then you are still not surrendering to surrendering. And so life goes, a slave to the will within, the self being an illusion, albeit a very persistant one.

Love the P.S.😉

You sound very unsure...I can't decide if you're telling us or looking for approval.

Bee you’re going to have to go to bed earlier. I’ve gotten into the habit of waking up early now days, and it’s getting to the point where I somehow wake myself about a minute before my alarm goes off, it’s weird.

The fact that you were even up at 5am and didn’t have to go anywhere is in itself impressive.

Being an early riser doesn't make someone less lazy, and being a late sleeper doesn't make someone a layabout. It's how much effort you put into the time given. When that time starts should be a matter of preference. This bollocks about getting up early is a hollow, old fashioned, and out of date view that causes more bother than good. BTW I'm not having a go at early risers. I get up at 6am every day but that's only becasue that's when I naturally wake up. I don't actually start work until noon. What I'm saying is that it doesn't (or shouldn't) matter when you get up.

Theres a balance to everything and its all terribly nuanced!

You are not alone. I always feel I should be doing something else, something more. Real feeling or a mind distraction by what I'm doing by not living in the moment?

damn this is relatable, although i didn't get all that much done.

Laziness is a 'gift': To snooze away a morning, to stare at the sky, watch and listen to the sparrows flying by. Laze in the sunshine, never asking why? Curled up on a comfy chair or a loved ones bony thigh. snuggled in a duvet, stretched out on the floor, getting fed, then time for bed.......... who could ask for more. MEOW!

Maybe tell yourself that the treat or reward for all your hard work will be just relaxing at home.

Even covered in gunk covered in gunk?

Lazy so & so. But yeah same here.

Jimmy TwoTimes I'll give myself that one concession, I wasn't covered in gunk.

Were you covered in gunk though?... if not give yourself a pat on the back... if you were... try to do a bit better...

Jane Dean haha same here, baby steps baby steps.

@Karan Well he's not just a freak of nature in the sense that his body is made for the sport but he has dedicated his life to that one specific thing. Not many people will experience or even require that amount of discipline in a lifetime. We can try to learn from him and be inspired. That's probably good enough.

truth brov. if you question whether or not moderation exists in your balance of action/inaction- it probably does and you're likely being hard on yourself for reasons related to those causes/illusions you mention. but for some of us, there is, without a doubt, a consistency of stagnantness that becomes almost habitual. like you know when you mean to respond to a message from someone and then so many weeks pass that you just decide "well, fck it can't do it now can i?" but that's to almost everyone and everything. passing functional depressive here- feeling like r.b. and those of us watching who can relate are doing our best with this life.

Hux yes well I think discipline is the cure for that sort of thing. Yeah my channel is about Tarot but I also do a bit of powerlifting. Thought of that name in the gym haha. Going to talk about Zen and the art of Gainz at some point haha

@Karan Michael Phelps has been on tv promoting Talk Space therapy confessing that he himself suffers from depression. So it seems even talented athletes need a break periodically.

Karan I think if you work hard you’re much more likely to be successful but working 15 hours a day is probably too much for most minds to handle

depends on when you go to bed ;-)

DELILAH NINA its true

@@freakbass its not guaranteed to be easier iv still definitely struggled to get up in the morning after going to bed early sometimes it makes no difference, I blame clinical depression and cocaine, just kidding.. But maybe sometimes

until you accidentally shit yourself.....

Yup.

Yes but I think it's best to positively frame it as a "break" from what you were doing, appreciate the rest and try not to buy into the labelling of yourself as "lazy" then find a way to renergise, take stock, reset your sights and get back on that horse, so to speak.

if you have depression being lazy is normal

@@joew2450 For some there is no positive framework, life is just suffering

Good call. 🤔

Very true...the real Revolution is the evolution of consciousness 🌈 xxxxxxxxxxx

This is what I know to be true. Well put.

You are missing the challenge I think of course you think smart but you have to build mental resilience to pain and discomfort of any challenge which you have to overcome by facing it directly!

333arisokapoios facing things directly sounds wise and brave, and sometimes it is. But sometimes it’s better to go around problems or to unravel them in a clever way. Energy, just like money and time, is a limited resource.

@Karan But if there is no inherent reason to grow and the comfort zone is such a beautiful place then what is the peoblem with staying there if youre happy? Do you think that time enjoyed is not time wasted? Is the idea of growth not just another idea put in us by society? Is there ever a time when we have grown enough an can then relax full time?

nahh..he just thinks a lot..you dont need to be a genius to understand life..you just have to be observant

Thank you for your insight, perception teaches us each day apparently. When sampled, action speaks loudest as though somehow coherent when shared. This you’d suppose the ideal so sought when illustrating. Just living, as if sought, a plan you see. But as ever an acknowledgement of thought so thought as understood when written.

I agree to some extent. Discomfort and pressure can push us, for better or worse, to change. However there could be a multitude of reasons for not coming out of "laziness" besides comfort. Fear of rejection, of failure, of unbearable difficulty, that you are not good enough etc

I wonder what it was after?

I've got no problem with "kind non industrious people" but I do have a problem being told I need to get my complete jerk industrious ass out of bed at 5:15 AM every day to work in a hot, stinking ass factory just so I can pay like 40+ percent of my income to support such kind people. Do whatever you want, literally, so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. But you can't be a "kind person" when everyone else is busting their ass to keep you alive while you sit around all day partying it up.

This is largely due to protestant sentiment; modern, individualistic industrial societies were firstly protestant societies (e.g Britain, Denmark). Protenstant ideology is somewhat neurotic in nature in that work is seen as our penance for past and future sins and thus our measure of goodness. And in my opinion, all current capitalist societies have inherited this neurosis to some degree. It makes us unable to be still and be at ease; I believe this results in the workaholic or, as a reaction/rejection of this pressure, the couch-potato - two sides of the same coin
