I want to be at peace with myself and the world. I want to stop consuming internet content instead of personal relationships.
Me too bud. We are all in this together
so kind to his audience, so articulate, so intelligent. sheer perfection. god bless you, my guy❤
For months, I have known I have a nasty dopamine addition I need to kick. Then, three days ago, I was recommended your video. This is my sign to take this seriously and listen carefully to your advice.
Thank you for everything you do ❤. Please don’t stop spreading your messages to the world.
only the beginning :)
Josh, you have no idea how much of an impact you're having on my mental health. From months i have been falling into a trap of "everything needs to be perfect", as a result i've been avoiding the discomfort that comes while doing the thing that needs to be done. I turned to scrolling reels and binge watching shows to numb this pain of "i'm not good enough". I didn't know how to deal with it. i tried journaling but my mind goes blank, but now you helped me through it. I'll return to this video everyday and fix this. You are single handedly curing me thank you so much *sobs*
im here bc i literally caught myself scrolling for the entire day even though i wanted to work out and study and this has been happening for months ! and i feel very out of control of my own life and unsuccessful, these videos r truly a gem to me though and definitely guiding me into the right place so thank u for making these!!
I'm really glad you decided to start posting these videos and chose the approach you have. I can't recall a time when I've experienced such a high level of open compassion paired with such a high level of sensibility, yet here I am, receiving it from a video on the internet. I believe you have the capacity to help so many people this way. A very big thanks to you!
My father is abusive so I turn to the internet to try to escape the fact and not feel so much dread about it, but I realize that if I really want to be able to live my life, I need to do the shit I need to do. I will be stronger and healthier, not just for me, but for my siblings too.
Lately, I’ve been trying to regulate my Nervous System and not depend on material things. I just want to relax and be present.
Before you even mentioned it, my brain said “You’re on here because you want connection and to be seen”. That was a truly eye-opening moment.
I have been really struggling recently with my mind, you have really helped me calm down today. You are so eloquent, kind spoke and adorable and i love the way you explain. I am inspired to share my experiences and connect with others and seeing you create motivates me to get started where i am! Thank you, you are so calming ❤
Do you have a Discord server? I would love nothing more than to have a direct platform to engage more with the community you’ve begun to build. Your videos have facilitated such a crucial transition for many people, and I think being able to interface with one another as we continue on the journey will ensure that more folks stay on the straight and narrow. Thank you for finding your creative outlet and for putting your message out there.
I lost my brother 2.5 years ago and my family dog half a year ago. sitting in silence is so horrendous. But I'm gonna do this for my brother, for my dog, for my past and future selves and because I want to.
I remember when I was intuitive as a teen when I used to write poems and songs about anything and everything. even veryyy bad single line poems. because I wrote for myself and I'd sing mu songs to my brother. I would not care about a thing in the world while writing. I've just grown so scared to write and not have my favourite person to listen to it anymore. I want to feel better and actually fr process everything cause MAAN I've been using dark humour and escapism all these years to stop any feelings from actually surfacing. I'm gonna try to realise everything. it's gonna be better.♡
This video is really resonating with me as someone who tends to chase cheap pleasures omg I needed just this rn
you have such a compassionate take on mindful consumption. much thanks & best of luck in your own journey! 🙏🌞
Thank you, I love you ❤
Hey Mate.
That was very powerful and unique. Thank you for that. I hope to only come back to this app once in a while to see if you have dropped any more gems, no pressure. Otherwise I have a lot of things to work my way out through
All love brother. Cheers.
josh, brother. i just dont have words to express how much this video has helped me. they way you say the things man, this just helped me so much. it felt like you were that older brother that ive always needed. i dont usually comment on youtube but you geniunely deserve this. thank you for this.
for about 8 months now I've been scared to take that first step and fall back into the same dopamine addiction I saw one of your videos and it put a lot of the important thoughts in my head. This video told me so many things that I need to hear, this helped me put all of the previous things in motion and now I know that I'm in control and always have been
Thank you for doing what you do
❤
Please continue to spread your message to people who need to hear it and just don't realize it
Thank you Josh. Well spoken, and the topic you touch on sort of man my brain tingle, which usually happens when I’m watching, thinking or feeling the right thing, and I chose to watch this all the way through for a reason, and I think it was worthwhile, best wishes to you all ❤
these are things I already know - but the reminders are so motivating ❤ thank you 🤗
Because I wanna keep myself busy and maybe because I desire the want to be social or seen. No I am not, and I also am after having found this video and having the little thoughts and realizations I just had a minute ago. Both for their own reasons. I am and I am not. I am getting motivation. A new found sense of "I am doing good, I am gaining good thoughts and processes. I am becoming better." But I also know my attention span is going bad or is bad, and that i am running. I am not actively bettering myself I feel, at least to the best I can. Yes, one of my needs are being met right now. I don't know quite fully but I feel good about something right now. I am learning, I am taking steps in the right direction. I am not usually conscious of myself to this level, I am usually swelled in anxiety or something else and don't believe or see that I can change it. I get overwhelmed kinda quickly and I don't have a lot of confidence or willpower or both to work through it at times. Also my social need is met. The shorts I've seen and this video have made me feel validated, have helped my recognize things In myself. Or that I have a myself and how much that entails. I still don't know the full scope but you have all helped open my eyes or have opened my eyes for me to these things. I am validated and satisfied at the moment and I am also not. The good is just outweighing the "bad". Thank you for giving me this opportunity to be mindful of myself and of other people. The fact that it is a fact that I am me and other people are other people, their own "me". Yes I am hungry so I grabbed something, I am inclined to say no by something in me, but yes I do need to talk to someone. I am lonely, but at the moment no. This is enough, being in the dark so long a little light is enough. I do want to write which is thanks to you. And which is what I am doing. No I don't want to, I'm okay in bed at the moment with it being dark outside. Content even, joyful. I didn't know exploring my curiosities was called learning my interests, I didn't know my curiosities had significance enough to pursue sometimes. I didn't think of it like that is what I'm getting at I guess, didn't place a lot of value in it either. Or don't. I want to do conscious consumption in general but beyond that yes I also want to learn about my own interests more deeply. What makes me me, and try not to shame it. Instead learn to accept that yeah this is a reflection of me. I just figured out another need in me, or want I don't know the difference at the moment. But to be more conscious with my decisions. The last time I had a great experience that pulled me in so much I couldn't help but be there and make the decisions I felt was the best was a while ago. I was debating keeping all this info of myself I just shared and found out right now to myself in my note pad or posting it here. I was thinking of posting it for the emotional significance it had on me. And I am gonna do it for that reason. Taking note of myself more though. In that moment of intuition meeting the in the moment enjoyment . I also had the thought of posting this to get some form of attention or validation or both from strangers, I worked through that enough to not make it an intention and just let it go as a thought though. And I am doing this with the intention of self. The want to act for someone else's attention though is worth noting. Hello future us. Thank you for reading all the way through this if you did, I hope this re read offers you some insight. If you are just coming here for this personal, conscious, and pure message to us. Then know that whatever you are going through won't last. You are enough. And that I see you, not every point of us can say that but we were still able to reach a point we could even express that idea in this life. That is a gift. We don't need validation. We are conscious, and we are enough. Even when we don't see it. I love you, full homo. I giggle at the thought of you bring uncomfortable by that, I also am proud of the thought that you could accept that. Take it easy
Three minutes in and I’m crying. I really needed this
When you brought us back to being 5 years old, it made me think of the 5 year olds I interact with today. Some of them haven’t even experienced life without technology and it makes me so worried for them. I was around a 5 year old that was living life as if he was in the game he has been playing on his fathers phone. I am so grateful for your reminders that we can change and grow. Thank you
Trusting in ourselves and our capabilities is indeed crucial for making lasting changes in our lives! 🌟 It's not just about tips and frameworks, but about deeply understanding our motivations and confronting discomfort to pave the way for meaningful transformation.
Thanks boss for actually providing value to peoples lives instead of selling a course.

Lý do tôi ở đây là vì bản thân đã rơi vào hố thỏ của mạng xã hội, vô tình lướt qua đến 1 tiếng đồng trôi qua, giờ thì bản thân tôi lại hối hận với những việc làm ngớ ngẩn này.

I think I can’t do it , I tried before and i failed I cameback to numb my self even more . It’s hard to face my demons its really hard to face my dark thoughts. I’m really weak when it comes to processing the pain.
It's not about what I want.. That's the main problem I don't currently have time to do what I want I'm supposed to be studying, Because only 1 month is left for my exams and that's not a normal exam this is my last year of high-school and my GPA depends on it and for the last 10 months I didn't study anything because I don't have sources which I can trust to study from in Egypt we don't even have schools to attend. So I'm here because I'm just too tired to deal with these problems which probably have no solution, I do want to do a lot of things but I don't have the time to and I'm not studying neither I'm just consuming dopamine until this all ends.
I guess you should read "Beliefs and How to Change Them... for Good! by Tony burgess and Julie French."
I'm sure it would help you out. It's a short read too (about 80 pgs).
@@dhairyasheth what is it about?
@@velophyte4702 Changing your beliefs so that you stop blaming time, resources, and everything else and start doing the work.
Be real, do you want to feel validated or pass the exam with a good score?
@@dhairyasheth I actually started doing the work already, I kinda wrote that comment answering the questions in the video.. Anyways "resources" is a real problem; without trustable resources you don't even know what to work on or what you should be doing like all I wanted was someone giving me a path to follow and to feel like all my hard work is not wasted in a non-efficient method to study, I didn't feel like I'm making any progress, last of all thank you for your concern I'm currently working on solving that problem!
@@velophyte4702 I can understand, it's been difficult for you to find legit resources to study from. Have you tried searching on shadow libraries like libgen or zlibrary? maybe try asking other students what they're using for themselves. You probably understand the problem a 100 times better than me & I know you'll find a way!

I wish you all the best for working as hard as you can. I'm sure you'll make it.

@@joshczuba thank you
quite hypocritical
Ask these questions to yourself:-
1.Why are you here on this video/this platform? Are you trying to escape from something? Are you trying to numb some kind of pain through this instant gratification?
2. Are you satisfied? Are you getting what you need by being here? Are there other things that we can use to deal with the discomfort?
3. What is happening around you in the present moment? Look in different directions, focus on a point, breathe and then change your focus, look at something different. Keep breathing, redirection your focus. Practice this, start small, observe and analyse. Be quiet, listen to what is around, do you smell something? Do you hear something? Do you taste something? Just feel that you are in the physical world.
4. What do you actually need right now? You wanna walk? Create something? Have Human connection? Can I send a text
/facetime/whatsapp someone? Can i go out and meet someone? How would that feel?Validate your desire to feel good. Pursue your curiosity. Be the kid you were, what do you wanna do?
5.Can you remember a moment where you were connected to a sense of intuition and followed that spark of curiosity? Maybe some moment from your childhood. Some sort of a real connection, hours flew by, you wanted to do it and you did it, can you write that story of the experience emotionally? Recreate that scenario when you were away from your phone and lost in the present moment what was it like for you? Describe it.
You need awareness first and then discipline. Are you aware enough about what you want or what you really need? Reconnect with your intuition. We are all in the same team. God has blessed us all. Key is taking action. Just do it. You are capable enough. You have the tools. All we need is practice. There are better things other than just numbing ourselves. Build the skillset of awareness. Be patient. Start small. Stack your wins. Let the snowball effect kick-in. We are all in this together. Let’s go love you all.❤
you are amazing.
