I’ve intuitively been doing this for years. I now control what I choose to put my energy into. I really enjoy the simplicity of life now.
congrats gal!
You may think so, but to which extent are you able to do it? :)
@@raz0rcarich99 Imagine what its like to master the ability to be lucid and detached simultaneously
@@ecomrealist3563 All I know is that letting go of your entire life is very hard, especially when you're directly faced with your psychological death. I could never fully let go in samadhi due to fear of death, of lack of control, of non-existence. It's a huge dilemma, because it's so infinitely beautiful, blissful and familiar, but at the same time infinitely terrifying, painful and alien. Letting go of small things that bother you in the moment is just the tip of the ice berg.
Carl-Richard Løberg to what extent you ask? I do it until it feels right.
Thanks Leo, great awareness practice.
Summary:
Your power is directly proportional to your ability to let go. It is a super power - if you can master this, you will become invincible.
So, try and let go of something daily.
This is a very powerful technique in raising your awareness. This will help you notice your automatic reaction/response to an impulse. Simply notice the impulse/urge, be aware of it, and then consciously let it go.
Notes:
- Do this daily, over years. Make it a habit.
- Identify something within your experience and let it go (habits, thoughts, grudges, desires, needs, attachments, frustrations, obsessions, etc.)
- Turn this into a game, not a chore.
- Let stuff go just for the sake of letting it go.
- Flex the letting go muscle. You CAN just let go of something, but you have to practice.
- You're not suppressing your emotions, you're letting go (this is a conscious choice you're making).
- Start with something small.
- Don’t react, instead, respond.
- Examples:
Itch on face (notice it first, notice the automatic reaction, but let that impulse go).
Something about your food doesn't come out right (catch yourself, notice your reaction, and let it go).
Someone cuts you off in traffic (notice your reaction and let it go).
Someone criticizing you (stop yourself and let it go).
Craving for ice cream or sex.
Seeing something that outrages you on the news.
A wish for a new job or car
Hungry in the morning
Bored while waiting in line (let it go).
Urge to check your phone (don't follow the urge blindly).
A grammar mistake
Obsessing about what someone thinks of you
Worried about how you look
Feel like quitting on some project
Worries about finances
Tension in your body
The urge to lie
The urge to cheat or steal
The desire to manipulate someone
An urge to distract yourself
Feeling bad about doing something wrong
Feeling embarrassed
Feeling confused
Feeling threatened by someone else
Smell something disgusting (let go of that disgust)
The need for perfection
- This doesn't mean you always have to let this stuff go, just a particular instance of it. Do this at least once a day.
- Consciously feel the urges and impulses and try to let them go. You may not be successful every time, but the more you try, the more you will strengthen your letting go muscle. Each time you try to let something go, you get better at it.
- Try and let go of the big things too (POV on a particular matter, national identity, ideology, religion). Try and let go of it for 5 minutes. If you can't do this, do you see how wrong it is? You're stuck.
- If you let go, nothing bad will happen. The fear of letting it go is just a story in your mind. Letting go is safe, normal, and healthy.
- Let go of prized physical objects (notice the love and attachment to that object, and let it go).
But Leo, how do I let it go? Notice it and then drop it. Visualize yourself dropping it. Think of a role model and imagine how they would respond to your situation. Would they bitch and moan or would they just drop whatever was bothering them?
- You're not enduring the pain; you're letting it go.
- Let go of the need to get what you want (trust in the practice of letting things go).
- Stop being run by emotions. This doesn't mean you will be emotionally dead inside. You will be more capable of feeling and loving and compassion. You will be less clingy and needy. This will elevate the quality of your emotions. You will feel more deeply because you will be more aware of your feelings.
- This doesn't mean that you shouldn't fix problems. Let go of the hurt and then solve the problem/issue at hand.
- You will be more effective by not being attached to emotion. You will be happier in the long run.
- Let go of fear. Obviously, distinguish between fear and caution. Be aware that most fears are overblown.
- Be careful about becoming neurotic about letting go! Let go of needing to let go. Make it natural and organic.
- Keep practicing and you will eventually get to the point of not caring if you're alive. life story, self-involvement, thinking and internal dialogue, worrying and fear, physical pain, major attachments to people and things, your career, your business, health, and physical appearance.
You will eventually lose all these things anyways. You can either let it go willingly or resist the process.
The choice is yours.
Nooo I was about to take notes too! I want a heart from Leo 😭😭
insiderperson18279 Let it go bro. Let it go...
Thanks!
@@hickorysocks2628 😅
Wow this must have been taking you hours, respect bro
1. Notice
2. Accept/ Let go
3. Observe
A good exercise I’ve found is to clench your fists tightly for 30 seconds and let go and let them open up on their own. Once you get the idea of how your fists let go and what it feels like, do it with your body/mind. Many of us have hundreds of clenched fists within our body/mind that have never been opened.
You just gave me a cramp in my finger

Just keep letting go and eventually you'll be free 🙌🏼
I think we agonize over problems becouse we are taught by older generation that pain makes you more noble which isnt true
Good to see you here. Cheers brother!

Leo...I wish there were more people like you in the world... Thank you for changing my mindset..
Or at least more people that are open to this and wanting to understand.
Yeah but he exists because there are shallow people. Otherwise you wouldnt need him if everybody was like him.
There are more people like him trust me
Logan Wolv let go of that
Eckhart Tolle is great, check him out if you don't know him Dania
I read 'Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender' about 2 months ago. I used to think i hated myself. Now i enjoy myself and am doing things that seemed utterly impossible just 2 months ago. Definitely the most impactiful thing i ever learned about.
It's hard to choose, but this is one of the most useful hour I've invested in my life. Thanks Leo. 🙏🏻
This is just Leo’s response after watching frozen for the first time.

I've been clinging on to old emotions and events for years and years. It's like my mind is chasing a rabbit down a never-ending hole. I'm learning letting go now. Your video helps me to understanding that I don't have to give it up once and for all but start with small things first. Thank you so much!

This channel is just incredible and I'm so grateful I came across it. I've been watching your videos since I was 16, I'm now 20 and they made me understand a lot. Your work have helped me change my mindset for the better. Thank you so much, you're changing lives.
Absolutely love this video. I do this ritual on full moon nights, under the moon light or at the window where the moon light comes in. I light a candle and write down on a piece of paper what I am feeling, the negative attachments things that are no longer aligned with my higher self then burn it and release it from myself. Then I write on another paper all the things I want in my life to be happy ( I do it in a detachment state) then burn the paper knowing I’m the co creator of the reality along with the Universe. This alone transformed my life significantly. Also, highly recommend Leo’s video on holotropic/ Shamanic breathing work.
Helpful verbal note:
This is stress/dukkha (feel the phenomena in question as unsatisfactory)
This is the origination of stress (feel how it’s only unsatisfactory/stressful/dukkha bc you don’t want it to be there)
This is the cessation of stress (open up and turn towards it, let go specifically of the desire for it to be otherwise)
This is the path leading to the cessation of stress (repeating the above and solidifying it thousands/millions of times)
This is what the Buddha recommends

Thank you
Thank you
oh really? 😮.
I really needed this. I tend to be really hard on myself when I make a mistake (spiral of guilt and beating myself up). I do need to let it go.
You are just experiencing the human experience. Recognize this. Then recognize as humans we error. Everyone does this. So instead of being hard on yourself put that energy into the thought can I learn from this error and learn if there is a lesson then either way let it go. I also try to see the significance of the air or the situation at hand. Most of the things in life you take them seriously. Good luck with things. Keep those vibes up😎
That's was error not air and people take life too serious..
Bro you need to become a philosopher these long ass lectures n shit sheeeeesh
Setting a “let it go” intention. It’s a bit like throughout the day waking meditation. I love it!
I wish I had come across your videos along time ago, and to have made all those insights much earlier in life. But I’m reminded to let it all just go...
I tried this at my restaurant job as a waiter, and man I felt like I was enlightened, in a state of nirvana. Thank you Leo!! Please do more videos like this that combine your spiritual insights and philosophy topics to help us improve and elevate our consciousness. I hope I can counsel other people on how to use this technique. Thank you!
The concept of letting go has been a great asset in my life after learning about it through spiritual teachings and videos of Leo's. I loved the let go meditation video Leo made a while back. It really does feel like the most powerful meditation technique I've learnt so far. So simple yet very challenging the more integrated you are in the modern world lol
You have changed my life for ever. Thanks you, Leo 💎
Lucy van Pelt Ummm that isn’t true, you changed your life, you were open to receiving Leo’s lessons or content so it sought you out, and anyone can tell you anything, but ultimately it’s up to you if things change, 100% you created change :) be proud of that, give yourself more credit
This video is pure gold!!For a very long time I thought I had "brain fog"(I wasn't diagnosed or something). I couldn't concetrate and study and always fell into those nasty thought loops. I watched videos and read how to get rid of it, never really getting to the real solution. I always kept feeding myself these stories, never incorporating awarness to the underlying feelings of each action or thought(like Leo describes). This video literally SAVED me!! Leo I really hope you get to see this comment. Leo I don't usually comment on youtube videos....
I get into meditation and generally those spiritual stuff not so long ago. I really think that you calibrate on those levels, that all these enligtned sages were. Your videos are like food for my soul!!
Leo thank you so much!! you are the best!
I love all of Leo's videos, this one is probably in my top 3. I found it very helpful, and I really like the idea of making it into a game! I really needed to hear this, and I'm gonna come back to it in the near future, just like I do with his other vids.
Thank you Leo for helping me change my life for the better!! 😊 I've had therapists, and none of them could help me the way that you do everytime I listen to your vids. Not only that, but they stick with me. So just thinking about things that you've said help me get through the day sometimes. Your words mean a lot to me.
This is what I wanted the most. OCD is the one I am struggling with till now. I was expecting video of this kind and here comes beloved Leo on rescue. Blessed. Thank You! 😍❤🥰
Thanks Leo! The wisdom I gain from you is truly incredible
Ah, yes. "The trick to letting go, is letting go. That's the whole technique." Pure genius. I'm starting to think he pays for these comments.
@@5sctid His advice as to "how to let go" was "just let go." Come on.
This is a refresher for me. I'm pretty good at letting things go, I usually think that what we can't control we can let go. People who don't let go, don't grow. My life changed when I let go of the first thing that kept me stuck: I let go on what people think about me. Then, everything was easier. Thanks for the video.
Good idea, but be it! Be so relaxed, that everyone can see how good it feels
I want to add: If you sometimes
feel like you can't let something go, also become aware of that and try to accept that you cannot accept something right now. Because when you are beating yourself up for not being able to accept and let go, you are creating another problem.
This is so powerful! I struggle with OCD (I don’t like to say “I have OCD” because I honestly see it as a circumstance you can get yourself out of rather than a permanent situation) and this technique I have noticed is the only thing that truly helps me get back to a present-moment state. It may take some time but it takes me out of that imaginary-but-feeling real situation. Great advice!
I was feeling overwhelmed from the feeling of needing to clean the kitchen. I let it go. Felt a wave of calm energy and cleaned that nasty kitchen in half an hour.
I was thinking about how much I loved my dog and how grateful I am for him. I let go of THAT. I fell deeply into the present moment with an immense wave of peace.
Catching all the stories I tell myself, all my “feelings” that arise (good and bad),and I let *them* go, instantly feeling lighter and free. I take a closer look at what I actually want to invest my energy in and I find all these floating thoughts that unknowingly drain me, weigh me down, and hold me back.
This is so fun to practice and deeply fulfilling. This will be a wonderful tool for my mind-numbing depression and anxiety. Especially after watching your bit on Self Love, it really compliments well. Absolutely profound. Thank you for taking the time and energy to break it all down for us, Leo. You are a beautiful human being and a blessing to us all.
Great technique great video leo! I know of a little cheat code that synergizes very well with this technique that I hope can help you guys when your using it. I realized I'd been using the letting go technique for a while but with a little twist that lowers the difficulty and acts as leverage for your letting go muscle, boosting its effectiveness. I have been revering to it as the "observe and love" technique even using that phrase as a mental mantra helps because after you've built muscle memory for that practice the mantra alone triggers those neural pathways and the method starts doing itself with less and less effort. Idea is very simple, begin with the letting go technique but then after you observe your attachment or resistance to letting go you consciousnessly generate whatever love your can and direct it at yourself, Love is like rocket fuel for your ability to drop resistance.
This is especially useful if like me you struggle with judgement especially self judgement, it offers a way out of the eternal judgement loop of catching yourself making judgements then proceeding to judge yourself for being judgemental, of course you cant resolve judgemental reflexes if your using your judgement muscle to fix judgment haha love obliterates this more effective then anything else. One last key note is that if you notice something inside your judging as particularly ugly and your struggling to send that little back pack of love become aware that you are not the thought or the judgement but the awareness of that. Remember your awareness just became consciousness of a unpleasant resistance filled part of your pattern so that you could begin the process of transcending it, and your first instinct is to beat the shit out of yourself for becoming aware of it, basic Pavlovs dog, your not going to be as willing to let yourself become conscious of yourself in the future. Bring those points to your awareness and with that perspective you should find your self able to sprinkle that unconditional love to start that Pavlov's dog process going in the other direction which will probably astonish you as it makes the process feel fun and that little switch bit by bit it will become effortless, its the difference of trying to work 40+ hours a week at McDonalds or at your dream job you'd do for free anyway.
sounds great! will try
This video feels like ur speaking directly to my soul
I wanted to write a comment about Leo scratching his nose but I let it go ;-)
Bram Vos did you really tho🤔
Did he pick a booger and then let it go?
Omg this comment 😂
But you kinda did anyway
we wouldn't know about this if you would have let go :)
A good alternative title for the video could've been "Leo saying "let that go" for 52 minutes"
He let the original title go
People think that they can just let go of , the big boulder...yet the secret is to break the boulder into bits (smaller parts) and let go of the small bits, that make up the big boulder...this takes work , time and energy ...
Not all boulders are reducible into smaller bits, like the attachment to control, survival, fear of death. It's the breaking point where your life is turned upside down, inside out; where when the boulder has to go, you have to go.
@@raz0rcarich99 When you mention the big 3 ...Survival , control and fear of death...aren't these deep hard core wiring ...that everyone has ??
When I mentioned the small bits...I was referring to the adopted belief systems and negetive learned habitual behaviours that are suppressing our lives, people in our lives, and particular aspects of our chosen environments.
@@kan-zee Enlightenment is when you surrender all fears and all control and survival mechanisms. You literally die (not physically), and you're reborn as the universe. This is the message of all of Leo's latest videos.
@@raz0rcarich99 Wow...I would guess that over 80% of the population will never reach this level of enlightenment..
@@kan-zee More like 99,9999%
Literally the solution to tons of problem in life. Simple, foundational, executional, and direct hit to targets. No builshit or false sense of accomplishment. By the nature of it, very intuitive, foundational and super tough. I'm just gonna say... You only need to do this. Almost all the tricks and hacks are based on these foundational principles - meditation, letting go, counter intuitive actions, baby steps. Lots of love.
I really thought a lot from watching your video. It reminds me of the book "The Power of Now". The ideas that you and the author of the book talk about ultimately bring me back to be in the present moment, which to me is precious.
I noticed that I had hundreds of urges just while watching this video, and I tried to let go of as many of them as I could. And I realised I'm basically doing meditation :D so letting go of small things here and there just brings you closer to a meditative conscious state in everyday life.
Btw one urge I didn't let go was to write this comment :P
This is really -in my estimation - the essence of the whole spiritual journey distilled into a 50-minute video
It's sort of true! Peace.
Half of the spiritual journey. This is the mind awakening, letting go of all stories and concepts and what you 'know'.
And then there is the heart awakening, surrender to your nature as god and being a servant to the world. Surrender to being love.
Listen to some Ram Dass on TH-cam if that sounds interesting. Or bahkti or any devotional path
Thanks for not having any ads, it's very refreshing and appreciated!
Only 52 minutes for this video? I can't believe it!
Let that go 😂
Let it go, bro
He let the ending go 😉
Too short, can't let it go.
I feel the same! And don't want to let it go... it's joyful :)
When I was 16 I spilled Pepsi all over my laptop. In that moment I realized I had a choice: I could be upset about what happened and let all those negative emotions flood my mind and body; OR I could just let it go and be free of all that. In a move that surprised myself I chose to let it go. It was probably the first time I let go of something that affected me that much emotionally. It kind of shocked me that I could simply just let it go. It blew my mind that I could simply do that. It was very powerful and I ultimately ended up forgetting about the experience. Every once in a while I’d think back to it but I forgot how profound it was until Leo spoke about letting go here. Thank you for the reminder Leo, love your content
Yes, I can absolutely relate to that. Especially things that I have no control over and would upset me now rarely get on me, I just begin to laugh at the marvelous chaotic beauty of life that destiny seems to bring.
Hey Leo. I've recently done a lot of sensory deprivation therapy. Which I feel over stimulated my current ability to meditate. And there were definitely moments where thoughts/ emotions/ boredom and even tiny reactions of needing stimulation would surface.
And to me this was a huge moment where I had to understand what letting go can do. I don't know if you've ever meditated in a float tank but I guarantee you'll enjoy it.
Man. It’s crazy how synergistic all your videos are Leo. This connected many dots in my head. How addicted I’ve been with particular roles and fantasies situation. Letting it all go🙏🏼
Moral of the story, let it go. Glad I made it to class on time today :) thank you Leo for paving a new path for advancement and truth.
I love how you've gone so far to visualize all the basics. Thanks Leo.
Pro pickup artists do this. If you want good social game you have to do this daily. I discovered it by myself long time ago through game contemplation. Good video Leo, this is powerful for all areas.
I've always had these problems, with judgement, with negative emotions, with the fear of the unknown. It stems from poor childhood, poor self-esteem and loneliness. Like many people, I've dealt with them alone, or my ego has, unsuccesfully of course. A few years ago I had a dark night of the soul. I'm still struggling with my ego, with 30 years of programming. After those experiences, I've started to look things differently. Sometimes falling back to my old ways. But the power of reminding yourself to "Let go, this doesn't matter, let it go." is tremendous. This video really hits the spot and gives me new tools on this path of excavating. Thank you Leo.
This is amazing I have been doing this for a while that is actually the goal of my life to be able to let go of everything I also have the same attitude
thanks for encouraging us ☺
Thanks for leading me in my spiritual journey. World needs more people like you mate. Thanks

exactly

Synchronicity. The universe, or your subconscious if you're a Jungian, speaks to you through 'coincidental' meaning.
What tour subconscious filters though into your experience is the message you need at this moment
Leo, I just wanted to thank you for this video. I'm Letting Go on every level my life is blessed. I am so grateful to be alive right now. I cried driving all the way home because of what this is meaning for me. Letting go means that I get everything that I want. Thank you, thank you, thank you..
Finally lets take break from philosophy and politics, letting is nice relaxing topic
The way I was always able to let go was to rationalize as to why I should do so. My brain would give me reasons as to why I need to let go of certain feeling or emotions and then I would proceed to do so. This is a new concept to me - letting go without even going into internal dialogue with myself as to why I should let go of something. As a very logical and rational person I actually struggle a lot with this technique - letting go for no reason (without even looking for reasons).
So 6 months later have you still been rationalising for the need to let go or have you let go about any direct experience without the rationalisation. Would love to hear your take on this.
Thank you for the love expressed through your work. I love you Leo!!
It's a simple tip but so powerful. Brilliant mindset.
What timing this was! Thank you Leo
Hey Leo after all my life of negative thinking you have finally taught me the two most powerful words in the dictionary...LET GO I ve worked through your vids for 4 years now I started off with the most obvious things and slowly have worked up to meditation and letting go truly the most liberating thing I ve ever discovered x

Some other books might be: "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius, ,"Enchiridion" by Epictetus or if you want something more trivial, than "The monk who sold his Ferrari" by Robin Sharma
Also listen to "Let it go" from frozen. That might help.

I noticed in myself that I have huge control issues. I always need to be in control, and I'm always sizing other people up to how much they in control they seem to me. And when I deem them to be more in control of the situation than I am. I feel inadequate. When I deem them less in control than me I feel a sense of superiority. Of course this results of a huge rollercoaster of drama, power games, struggle and misery. I need to be aware that ultimately no one is in control of reality, not you, not me. I did not create this reality so I do not need to control it, this body/mind is just a part of it. So is everyone else. Trying to control reality is, in the long run, only going to create more chaos. More chaos means more suffering when I am clinging to control.
My need for control is probably coming from the fear of chaos. If i really want to let go of the love for control, I need to let go of the fear of chaos. I need to become aware that the distinction between chaos and control is just a judgment of the mind, and is not ultimately true. My sense of control of reality is highly subjective, personal and contextual. This sense of control is so thin, one little breeze and it will break. And reality will keep breaking it, and I will suffer. And the ego will keep looking for new pathways for control, and so the cycle will repeat itself again. The only way to break the cycle is through awareness. Be aware when the ego is looking to control things, whether it be inside or outside of me. Remember that all control is illusion, it is maya, untruthful, lies. Only God is in control.
Also, don't let others fool you into letting you think they they are in control. That they know 'the secret', that they know what's up. That they are more in control of reality through some skill or knowledge. It's all bullshit. You can listen to what they have to say, but they don't have the secret you are looking for. The only secret that exists in within yourself, and you straining to keep your eyes closed to it.
Just like the wind, the trees, the ocean and the bees. It just is. I just am, we just are. The tree is not paranoid and OCD about growing the perfect leaves. The tree is perfectly still, and if perfect leaves come, praise God. If not, better luck next time.
“Letting Go” by David R. Hawkins is a great book for this. Thanks for this video; it course corrected me. Come to think of it, recommending Hawkins’ book is unnecessary because this video does a better job at getting the concept across.
But Hawkins recommends to work with each emotions from below to up ,see Hawkins map of Conciousness. Read power vs force you'll understand the depths, instead of calling 'unnecessary' to people's work. You moron
I was perusing some youtube content the other day when i came across some "The Event" channels and they were talking about being prepared, always trying to prepare yourself, and I told them "Let it go" on almost every occasion. Glad to see you confirm this with a video soon after on the same thing. Love it
You thought this video was important and you want to watch it.
Just let it go.
But then you watch it!
You have no idea how helpful this is. Thanks so much for sharing.
Anybody else just get really itchy when Leo was talking about letting go of scratching an itch? Lol.
Had to let it go bro lol
I just did.
Love this! Such a liberating mindset. I recently learned letting go of expectations. I was expecting many things in my life and realized that it all made me miserable when something didn't go my way. Small things, yes, but big things also, like the expectation to have good health, wealth, success, love... I'm slowly letting go of all of expecting those things to come. And that's different than me not striving for those. I will strive for all of those things, because I would like to have those, but if they don't come, I'm perfectly fine with that. This mindset helps a lot with disappointment, something I've been dealing my whole life with.
I see a new video by Leo. I have an urge to click immediately. Just let it go.
I really like your thoughts and how your brain works. I've practiced many of the inward state of letting it go for years like you have, and it's really benefited me tremendously. You're doing a great service to humanity. We reduce stress when we let go. There's too much in this world for people to be attached to. It's time we detach. We don't take anything out of this world. Nothing. So it makes sense to let go a bit. Peace and Love from Kentucky.
I posted a comment but it seems to have disappeared! Geez! 😒 Let it go!!
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
It's my son who teaches me this technique of letting go for last 9 years. Love it :-)
Leo mentioned Arnold who must have been decades ahead of his time. Cause who remembers the scene in the movie Commando where Rae Dawn Chong his female costar says to him "What did you do with Saully" ...Arnold answers . "I let him go" 😉🤔
This is the core of vispassana insight meditation and mindfulness. Noting thoughts and emotions, observing, not getting caught up in the content,which will result in them naturally falling away. The key is constant awareness
after doing this for years, try letting go off the urge to let go of stuff.
The first 15 mintues already changed by perception. This is something I've been trying to work on and after watching this its clarified a lot.
I don’t know how to appreciate the importance of this
Let go of the need to know
Allow ignorance to be ignorance 😉
@@BeyondNonduality ;)
Just practice and experience it
Thanks for taking the time to explain the different applications and how important it is. 🤗
Leo help ! ive let go of everything and i dont care about anything anymore.
That's good! Now you're free.
U still care about the fact that ure careless. Sorry
Let that go
This man has me all fucked up in a good wayI have so much growing to do with with no discipline with no understanding of what life really is but really want it because I see the good in it on the surface I love this guy
"But Leo-- if i let it go, then i won't get what i want!" lol!
Your videos raise my awareness so much for the past few years. I feel like you’re becoming more and more authentic and nuanced in your recent videos, I feel less of that ego game 😌
Right on time!
I am very attached to my boyfriend and it scares me!
Let him go.
@@maikelnait4495 lonelliness and fear arise when I try to. He is a great source of stability and happiness...
@@cholymelan7982 I think I have to let go of making jokes.
@@maikelnait4495 hahahaha, nope you are good!
@@cholymelan7982 WELL choly , you have to learn to be happy by your self first , learn to be strong ! i have been there before ! i was relying on my girlfriend to feel good about my self and my life ! when i broke up with her ! i felt sooo depressed and empty , that moment i realized that i have to be happy by myself so i can have a better realtionship with others !
Leo, dude, this completely applied to what I should have done today yet failed to do. Emotional mastery has always been a challenge for me; I can see myself reacting in a certain way, and I sense it’s negativity, and I internally struggle with suppressing the emotional reaction. Today, I confronted it, albeit not soon enough. But at least I did. I see where and how I can change.
I will play this “game” with myself every day until I master succumbing to my emotions.
Thanks for sharing knowledge, dude.
The problem is that i cant let go of watching you ... 😂 greetings from Egypt 😇
This is powerfull.... i've been dealing with inadequacy about the fact that i work a blue collar job working at universities. I always feel the need to 'prove' myself that i too, am intelligent.. whether i work as a painter or not. This also hurts my dating life because it feels like non of the women on those universities would ever give me a glimpse. This technique helps alot for sure. I've been into your teachings for quite some time now, and i love every bit of it. Time to let go. Thanks Leo.
