How to Unf**k Your Brain 

Well at least you had happiness in the past idk if this is good or bad but I never had true happiness until very recently sure I had some happy moments but they never last above few days its like I was born anxious and depressed

@@Veed.l0 I realized this same lesson when I watched a video on this channel titled "the feeling that life would never be as good as it once was" and ive figuratively never looked back

Where you able to forget?

@@spaceballs4203 it's impossible to force yourself to forget. The best you can do is understand why it's a flawed mindset to cling to the past.

@@Veed.l0 i always cling to the past. I can never move forward. Im always looking for a way to bring back my happiness. Im always thinking about my ex and how i miss her. I think im even gonna start texting her tomorrow to see if we can hang but i dont want to. I want to stay strong.. but i miss her...

What makes it "heaven" when you cannot remember what you forgot...?

@@movement2contact that's exactly what makes it heaven. It must've truly been horrible if I wanted to forget it

@@movement2contact i imagine myself leaving a note in my pocket before changing my brain chemistry that says "don't worry, you wanted to forget" or something along those lines

Hugz

How do you feel this if you “cant remember” … i meaning you dont feel the heaven because you “cant remember”

Same and agree. However the downside to that is you don't feel like you even lived your life. On the contrary, I've noticed that people with excellent memory appear more alive, and they tend to have a coherent personality

I know right? I love it that way as well...

Wherever our attention is drawn to , energy follows ...

Thank you! Perfectly put into words!

You've got this. Everything will be okay.

Therapy?

I've been sober for 6 months and that's how I always felt during active addiction. What helped me tremendously is basically what he said in this video. Pay attention to what you pay attention to basically. We can't control our senses and how our subconscious perceives them, but we can control where we point them and what inputs they receive. I've always been an optimist and valued positivity and it made me happy seeing good people doing good things, but the negative slowly started taking over because we're surrounded by it and media loves to portray it. Sadly, much of what we see is controlled by an algorithm now and you can either stop using it to the best of your ability or train it to help you have more positivity. Also, focus on your spirituality. Live in the moment and meditate. Chase the infinitesimally small measurement of time that is now. The delay between input and perception. Nothing else matters. Regretting the past and worrying about the future do nothing to serve you. Build the foundation and everything else will fall into place. I know it's easier said than done. I'm only 6 months sober but I feel like I've been given a new lease on life. This isnt my first time attempting sobriety and a change in my mindset, but this is the first time I've focused on myself rather than just what chemicals I ingest. Go get professional help to start off and get you going down the right path. Take suggestions, get physically active, and feed your mind and body good things. I'm not religious, so many people find "God" and it helps them tremendously, but I find it's often temporary because nothing else about them has changed other than verbally praising some deity. I'm not knocking it, if your spirituality leads you to a religion or if you're already devout, so be it. But do yourself and your loved ones a favor and work on your mental health.

@@_TheIlluminator_ and the emptiness can slowly be replaced with a more easily fulfilled purpose without the burdens of tragic memories

The point is that you have the choice of a fresh start whenever you want

thats good tbh...

@@DashMatin right? Literally perfect stoicism can be accomplished if you aren't trapped by your ego 🙏

Truly

You're wrong if you're studying philosophy to be entertained.

@@user-zp8kj2cl9g it's not that deep bro😭

@@user-zp8kj2cl9g Sounds like that's YOUR philosophy- User-zp8. Perhaps Danny finds the material more approachable in the style of this content and there's nothing wrong with that. Each to their own.

​@@joshy2joshyPhilosophy is a general field of study and discipline. Saying "that's your philosophy" is like saying "that's your science"... It makes no sense.

I know how you feel. Sometimes I don't even know myself.

u dont need to figure out who u were, just create yourself anew

That might be a blessing in some cases

Our experiences truly makes us for better and worse. I hope you beat the sickness ❤

What was it?

@@LiamCantArt something along the lines of "Woman explains what it feels like to have memory loss"

I don't remember the title, but the thumbnail that caught my interest the most had a guy who looked like a character from DragonBallZ I wish there was a place where he collected the various titles and thumbnails he makes for his vids...

Mac still and always will be helping me and other with that pure authentic love and passion for music and life. Hes still here, he just turned into the music, the vibrations

@@completelytransparent6320 most definitely 🙏

i feel you bro

Amerikkka is a fucked up place if not the most fucked up

i don't think you or anyone else is the fucked up. things just happen, good or bad. no one really gets to choose the way their life goes. we can make plans and have goals and do as much as we want, but in the end, things can just happen. today you could win the lotto or you could get into car crash and no one really has control over these things. whatever you're going through, i sincerely hope you get through it. i know that bad things do happen, but that doesn't mean that good things don't happen. if you only look for the bad, that's all you'll see. if you try to look for the good, you might find something unexpected. and who knows, maybe one day you'll be that unexpected good thing someone else is looking for too :)

@@mathw1-1 Tell that to my native ancestors, the rising tides of suicide, and all the wildlife both plant and animal wiped out by brainwashed apologists like you who don't even think about the damage you cause every day. Everyone is sick, and have been for so long that they think it's normal. Governments, corporations, religions, militaries, all institutes of control justifying endless atrocities for mere comfort. You disgust me. At least I would rather end this world mercifully than slowly bleed it to death for amusement.

I wish there was a place where he collected all the different thumbnails and titles he makes for these vids... The thumbnail/ title that I clicked on, was not the version that I liked the most The one I liked most was a thumbnail with a guy who almost looked like a DragonBallZ character...

I created a playlist to keep my favorite Pursuit of Wonder 'story-videos' in one place... it's great for a quick reference when I feel the need to remember something profound about life that I have forgotten 😢

Since I have time, Iam going to re-watch this one right now...: The Tragedy of Being Too Early - The Timeline Effect

Definitely a nice sentiment, but it's much easier said than done. Letting go just isn't in our human nature. It's more of a coping skill that must be learned and takes practice. I doubt I'll ever be able to fully master it.

⁠​⁠@@slantedandenchanted.1992exactly!!

Without memory you wouldn't be.

Without a memory, how would you even navigate where you are at a point in time, or what is poisonous or not... Or if being ran over by a car would kill you

@@joshuaeyo3439 Does this mean when you were a newborn baby and had no memories, neither had you formed any, you weren't you? Or an old person suffering from Alzheimer's having lost their memory, they are still not themselves?

Memory is a crucial part of one’s self identity.

@@ifrankenstein7455 As an infant, there's very little "you" to be. And one of the horrors of illnesses like Alzheimer's is the feeling of losing yourself. Memories are intrinsically tied to what we consider to be us. When the woman in the video lost her memory, she ceased to be the person she was. She couldn't relate to the decision that had ultimately led to her situation, and had only a vague feeling that she and the person she was were once the same.

we are new, in every moment, never the exact same do you have anything better to say?

For some it would be a blessing, for others a curse.

Well if it's not broke don't fix it
