This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.

for all you know, this could be your last summer.

as homer wrote, you will never be lovelier than you are right now. so tell her she has a pretty smile. get lean or become a unit. find wonder in boarding the airplane. drink more coffee than you need. walk on the beach until your feet hurt. write your girlfriend a note on a tuesday. waste money because its not all about retirement. pull over at the lookout. ask the uber driver about his life. tell the woman in the elevator you like her shoes and mean it. call your mother. ask the waiter his favorite thing on the menu and order that.

theres so much life in the slow moments, and you sprint past it chasing the next thing. but at any time, in any situation, you can find the good. smile. be happy. recognize it for a one of one life experience. what good is walking around a curmudgeon when tomorrow could be curtains.

for heavens sake, flirt with the world.

David Lynch: "You're operating with a limited mind and don't realize it"

"If you have a golf ball-size consciousness, when you read a book, you'll have a golf ball-size understanding. When you look out, a golf ball-size awareness. When you wake up in the morning, a golf ball-size wakefulness. But if you could expand that consciousness, you read the book with more understanding. You look out with more awareness. You wake up with more wakefulness."

Lynch explains what lies beneath:

"There's an ocean of pure vibrant consciousness inside each one of us. It's right at the source and base of mind, right at the source of thought. It's also at the source of all matter. Modern physics calls it the unified field. All matter, everything that is a thing emerges from this field."

He describes what the field contains:

"This field has qualities like bliss, intelligence, creativity, universal love, energy, peace. It's not the intellectual understanding of this field, but the experiencing of it that does everything. You dive within, transcend, experience this field of pure consciousness, and you unfold it. It grows. The final outcome of this growth of consciousness is called enlightenment. And a side effect of enlivening this consciousness is that negativity starts to recede."

Lynch shares what happened when he started meditating:

"When I started, I was filled with anxieties. Filled with fears. Kind of a depression. And anger. I took this anger out on my first wife. After two weeks of meditation, she comes to me and says, 'What's going on?' I was quiet for a moment because it could have been any number of things she might have been referring to. I said, 'What do you mean?' She said, 'This anger, where did it go?' I didn't even realize it had lifted."

He explains why negativity kills creativity:

"Anger, depression, sorrow, these are beautiful things in a story. But they're like poison to the filmmaker. Poison to the painter. Poison to creativity. They're like a vice grip. If you're super depressed, you can hardly get out of bed, let alone think of ideas or have creativity flowing."

Lynch describes what grows when you expand consciousness:

"It's money in the bank to get that beautiful consciousness growing. Creativity flows. The ability to catch ideas at a deeper level. Intuition grows. This field is a field of pure knowing. You dive in there, and you just know how to go. You know how to solve problems. It's like an ocean of solutions."

He shares the ultimate benefit:

"The ultimate thing for me is the enjoyment of the doing. The enjoyment of life grows huge. I love making films now more than ever before. Ideas flow more. Everybody has more fun on the set. People look like friends, not like enemies. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing."

Lynch addresses the myth that you need anger to create:

"People say, 'You gotta have anger. You gotta have an edge to create.' No, you gotta have energy. You gotta have clarity to create. You gotta be able to catch ideas. You gotta be strong enough to fight unbelievable pressure and stress. And this gives you more and more ability. It just looks beautiful. It's way, way, way better."

On the nature of true happiness:

"They say true happiness isn't out there. True happiness lies within. I always wondered, where is this 'within'? And they don't say where it is. They don't even say how to get to it. But it's there. And when you're in it, you know you're in it. It's familiar. It's you. Right away, a happiness, but it's not a goofball happiness. It's a thick beauty. A thick beauty to appreciate life and living. And suffering starts to go."

Once you go bitter, you start losing on purpose and telling yourself its destiny. you stop showing up to the things that challenge you, because if you won, you would have to admit the world was not against you this whole time. and that is unacceptable to a bitter man, because bitterness needs proof. it feeds on evidence, so you give it some. you quit the job before it works out. you leave the woman before she gets too close. you stop replying to the friend who actually gave a shit. and then each loss goes back into the mouth of the beast, and it chews, and it says yes, good, more. you become a man feeding a parasite his own future, because the future might be beautiful, and beauty would kill the story he has been telling himself

Never doom, no matter how bad life seems. Get hyper logical. My favorite line in a movie (The Edge). Anthony Hopkins’ plane crashes in Alaska wilderness & he says: “I once read a book which said most people lost in the wilds, they die of shame. ‘What did I do wrong? How could I have gotten myself into this?’ And so they sit there & they die. Because they didn’t do the one thing that would save their lives, thinking.”

You are now listening to a 432 hertz frequency. Take a moment to regulate your nervous system.

This sound aids in releasing happy hormones such as serotonin and endorphins naturally, regulating blood pressure and heart rate.

A rule that will lower your anxiety: Don’t replay conversations you can’t change, and don’t pre-live ones that haven’t happened. Focus on the next right action. Most stress comes from living everywhere except the present.

There is a misconception that when you raise your vibration, negative energy will start attacking you. This idea actually stops many people from raising their vibration, but it is not true.

What really happens is that when you raise your vibration, any resistance within you that is not compatible with your new frequency begins to rise to the surface.

It is similar to what happens before a major manifestation. The vibrations within you that are not compatible with the new manifestation must come up so they can be released.

So if negative thoughts, emotions, or patterns begin to surface on this journey, it is completely normal.

Just keep fine tuning your state of being and releasing what no longer serves the version of you that you are becoming.

[Dave @thought_harbor]

Everything you have comes with rent.
Your peace of mind? Rented.
Stop protecting it and watch how fast it disappears.
Your discipline? Rented.
Skip a week and feel how quickly the old habits creep back in. Your confidence? Rented.
Stop putting yourself in uncomfortable situations and it fades without warning.
Your clarity? Rented.
Stop sitting with your thoughts and the noise takes over again.

Nothing is owned. Everything is maintained.

And the rent is due in effort, every single day. Miss a payment and life starts repossessing the things you worked hardest to build.

Btw Its a proven fact that

Your brain only registers a task as difficult and stress inducing when you're told its supposed to be difficult

Otherwise your brain naturally registers it as fun and competitive

Do not listen to anyone that tries to make life hard

Everything is fun
