I spend a large % of my time at work thinking about the best way of doing something, before doing it. People were apprehensive of this at first, and some still are. But the results speak for themselves. Often my 'thinking' is most effective when I take time out, go for a walk, or take a long coffee break out of the office. I've not quantified it precisely, but I believe just 18 months into my career I may have already saved my employers up to a hundred grand, which will soon double thanks to a recent project I'm working on. It's not how much you work, or whether you adhere to your 9 to 5. It's how effectively you do it, and how focused you are when you do it.
Jordan could talk about paint drying and still hypnotise me with his beautiful use of verbalisation. I have not yet encountered anyone else who can articulate on everything so beautifully and keep your attention without it becoming too complex considering much of the subject matter is indeed extremely complex. Dr Peterson is the single largest influence in my life to date. All my other role models and icons are dwarfed by him. He is Godly to me.
Completely agree, just knowing someone like him exists in the world gives me a sense of hope. As I sit here alone, no friends, with a family that hates me, responding to a comment that's over a year old, like it matters.
I remember the first JP classroom lecture video I saw I couldn't believe a man could possibly be so spontaneously eloquent and profound at such a high speed. I was looking for the smoke and mirrors - some proof that he was reading or reciting a well-rehearsed speech. Boy was I wrong
What I pieced together was this... When you don't know what to do, it's directly influenced by uncertainty within yourself. *duh* But that uncertainly comes from a disgust within yourself, or maybe something you disgust is disguised within your environment? In my opinion, trying to pinpoint the catalyst of your disgust is almost impossible because things are constantly changing like you are. However, you could start with what immediately disgust you(As an individual) and try to understand what made you disgust it in the first place.
Dear Mr Peterson. I Just want to write, that you paid me a visit in my dream today. I was confronted with a problem, where a shark was threatening me and some people around. I managed to get hold of you and you willingfully came by to this place and said you will have a look at it. In the meantime in the dream I realized that I am scared most of two things, sharks and hanged people. Your presence was very casual and friendly. Somehow we managed to control the shark situation and no one was in danger anymore. You agreed to go with me to a very dark place, where I feared that I will encounter a hanged person and already I could feel the cold rushes driving through me. It didn't happen, nothing was there. Because it's a dream and it's so difficult to communicate the abstractions within it I just wanted to stress how strong your personification was in this dream. It probably helped me avoid going into a nightmare state which I recently have all too often (paralysis, flushes of stress, a sensation of everything darkening all around me). This time I woke up to no nightmares. Thank you
So glad I found the this title, recently a girl that likes me told my friends she likes me, they told me even though I knew already, but now they they are waiting for me to do something, I like the girl but not enough to do something with her but enough to never wanting to hurt her (play with her feelings by going into a more emotional relationship with her). Her best friend likes me and has sent some very provoking msg (as far as I can tell only I am aware of that) to me, one of my better friends like the original girl and only I know that :) Glad I found this title but still don't know a bit what to do Lol
*Session summary, help me to complete it 😃:* If you faced something new, you will get anxious which you can damp it with drugs and alcohol, and also you will manifest curiosity, to sense it, the level of your anxiety must be decreased, the anxiety is good but they are missing something, it contradict your main idea and your hippocampus will mess up, and makes you wake up at the middle of night. When you are stressed as you are exposing to new thing, your body is ready to face anything, because you don’t know what's gonna happen, in small dose it is ok but in high doses it is vital.
Yes please with humility and grace may we all start asking these questions !!!!! 🥺🥺🥺May we all have the strength, courage, wisdom, compassion and will to seek solutions to The death of Floyd George.
My body is accentuated by my mother and father and runs through a spiral of dual expansions of dna and mitochondria ever expanding until the void is filled with my wings clipped unless it is within natural auto poetic synthesis for belief... ?
I swear I’ve just listened to a string of JP videos and found him saying in one video is the a) hippocampus that activates the RAS and in one video b) the hypothalamus that activates the RAS...
TLDR, 1. It will be difficult to experience new things because of the natural response of the body, which is anxiety. 2. Don't see yourself or others as 'pure'. This will make you dehumanise that which you don't know/consider your enemy. Funny that the extreme end of orderly also lead to a totalitarian regime like Nazi Germany. The extreme end of left politics being communism. So, take a walk, relax and look at your surroundings objectively.
I don't dispute that Jordan is a learned man and a good talker, but this endless litany of psychobabble is meaningless to me and really just compounds my pain and confusion. Is my attitude wrong or at least flawed? No doubt. But still, this is my experience. I keep clicking on his lectures hoping to receive some kind of breakthrough, but I just come away annoyed and further overwhelmed. Hopefully the silence and warmth of the tomb will re enact that of the womb. The noise and chaos in between is too much
6:19 generalised dis.... of potential, what is the 'dis' word? I can't quite hear it. (I would like to learn more on this 2nd possible characterization)
I've seen 'Disinhibition' used of not following normal rules by using inappropriate behaviour and of not holding something back, like anxiety. For example, to disinhibit anxiety means to become anxious. I don't understand it in the phrase, 'generalised disinhibition of potential' to disinhibit potential could be taken to mean having no restraints on one's potential. But that wouldn't seem like a logical conclusion of someone who has experienced a long term betrayal. I could understand someone saying, 'what's the point' to anything and everything if the major things in their life until now didn't go where they wanted them to. I suppose in that context it means 'I'm no longer interested in the idea of potential, I'll just sit here twiddling my thumbs until my time's up!' therefore, generalised disinhibition of potential would mean can't be arsed or giving up on life. Unless I've got that wrong?
You can see they cut this from someone else's clip video in the bottom left. Yes you sighted the original source but you still used someone else's 'content' essentially. Not illegal, just lazy.
This is partly why we’ve seen so many suicide cases around the world because those who were less adaptable, resilient and less informed became so internally destabilised by the sudden collapse of society as they once knew it.
Orderliness highly correlates to disgust, which in excess leads to neuroticism. That association does makes a lot of sense. The pieces of living, moody ‘puzzles’ that are persons related, and family, to me are falling into place as I watch this segment. Learning everyday and still more learning to do.
Huh, so I should be more discusted with the things I've pushed myself to accept, in order to make sense of confusing and traumatic experiences in my life, that I used to be discusted with when I was a more orderly person without mental disorders. Interesting, very interesting... Defitnely gonna start listening to Jordan's talks on the human psyche and brain functionality regularly.
