It feels like crossing the Rubicon, once one starts act on the mindful observation of oneself. Seeing where the pain is coming from is the first big leap, realizing those insights through action and based decisions is the next step, equally important and difficult. It's that choice for oneself, to walk the road less traveled and do the hard thing, which leads to a shift from a perspective of passive suffering through external circumstances to an active approach of shaping both worlds, exterior & interior. It's mad how many of our actions, thoughts and feelings are actually born from subconscious routines, nondecisions and impulses from the past, even as a heady person, and how many of these are questionable at best or result in pain for someone. Mindfulness is the antidote, but also a lifelong exercise, because the story we tell about ourselves is so closely linked to these murky undercurrents and chaotic patterns and it's natural to become enslaved to this story, as long as someone doesn't make active decisions about who he or she wants to be. I should stop watching your videos before bedtime - they resonate a lot with parts of me from the past years and present as well. Thank you for that.
The movie Hit Man argues that personality can be boiled down to Big 5 (OCEAN) Personality factors, and also suggests that big 5 are all changeable. I'm not sure if that is actually born out by evidence although I am pretty sure conscientiousness is pretty learnable, and openness increases a lot from psychedelics for many people. Anecdotally, extraversion and agreeableness I think can become more flexible, but I think most people default to a certain baseline if they can vary at all. I think neuroticism could perhaps change based on mindfulness, breath, gratidute, etc...But again, there aren't many people open to this.
I love the Big 5! I consider myself quite high on neuroticism and I would say all the practices you mentioned has definitely helped ground me throughout the years. I would also add that for anyone who struggles with neuroticism (prone to anxiety and sensitive to stress), can very much benefit from working on increasing their conscientiousness. Since there is a negative correlation between the traits. That being said, being more orderly and routined has helped tremendously. Thank you for your interesting discussions! I really appreciate it. (:
