My sister literally gave me Letting Go for Christmas. So awesome to see it's impacted you strongly, and the message is so key: to need is to scare away that which you seek. Thanks for the vid Matt!
Every time I see one of Matt's classic thumbnails on my home page.....I get so hyped. I look forward to every single upload. Keep pushing out great content, we all appreciate it greatly!
What you said in this video is actually what I learned this past year as well to overcome OCD. Essentially what you need to understand is that the only thing you can really influence is the way you react to your thoughts. But you can‘t control your thoughts and the feelings that come with the thoughts. Just feel the feelings and let the thoughts come and go on the their own terms. Don‘t try to rush the thoughts or make them go away by distracting yourself etc.
I really appreciated this video. I have had many many storms brewing in my head that are just so unnecessary, and letting go is just such a comforting concept. Thanks Matt once again, keep making these videos man.
I have just moved back home to my family after completing university. Noticed I argued a lot with my family members. I told myself i need to let arguments pass because it does not matter in the long run. Hearing you talk about letting go solidifies it for me. I WILL be more forgiving with people around me, especially cuz somethimes, its actually due to my incompetence and i get too riled up to think clearly (the sky metaphor is pretty good). Letting it pass is definitely a skill i need to re-learn and practice in my life. I wish to get this book and the other books you recommend. Keep up the good work Matt!
when you realize how powerful your mind is at controlling your thoughts, which control how you feel, which affect your life as a whole, you can use that to create a mental passage through the chaos and break out of that line of negative thinking, which will change how you feel, which will change your life. the key is to do it often enough, and consistent enough, that it becomes a habit and your new normal. once that happens, your life will already begin to improve and you wont even need to work for it anymore, it will just come because you've created a positive feedback loop. You'll have your ups and downs, but once you learn to master your mind, you can master anything.
Keep doing you man. Found your channel yesterday and its helped me alot mentally already, especially around talking to women (recently divorced). Thank you my man 🤘
you’re speaking absolute facts. For years I said I couldn’t lose 100+ pounds when In reality it was that I won’t lose it. a decade or so later i finally lost 130 pounds and while I’m happy, I wish I did it much earlier in life. We are our greatest enemy
I love how you find stuff that you struggle with personally and then you share what you learned as you improved that aspect of your life. Keep it up, no matter how many subscribers you have, you will always be changing lives through your videos! Thanks so much Matt
I needed this brother i started missing and indulging in memories of my ex and I and i was feeling sad as she got a new boyfriend and stuff i wil try this and move forward
"What the hell does that even mean" haha. Great intro. Letting go is a mystery in the end. From my experience, letting go happens gradually after enough frustration, pain, struggle, etc. has happened...when you reach the realization that it's time to let go. There's no time frame, everyone has to go at their own natural pace. Mindfulness helps, the book 30 Days to Stop Giving a Sh*t by Corin Devaso helped me, as did the Tao Te Ching.
I really do love your videos bro,They really inspire me.I joined your discord server recently and ngl, it needs some improvement, nobody is willing to belp,some guys are really rude and discourage you,I just left because I felt as if nobody cares .
Hey bro, it’s easier said than done, you can’t just let things go. Cause things will brew in your head for years and just constantly build up. All you can control is the way your life is going by the way you react to different things that are going on around you. Good or bad, that’s your decision.
Ty Matt I’ve Honestly been thinking of continuing my TH-cam channel and no it’s not this one it’s on another account. But and I’ve been getting so many thoughts thinking is it gonna get subs or views or get people to support my journey. And this video help me knowing I need to just let go and just make videos even if I don’t get much views.
As an older dude who is in A.A., this is actually a pretty big book in 12 step circles. Not HUGE, like some others (Power of Now, etc). But I have been to meetings where this was studied.
This video suits my problem with me being attached to the SR Benefits, please read: If your trying to prevent Wet Dreams and your still getting them twice/once a week and u did everything u can do to prevent them then the problem is you. Because u r foucing on trying to prevent them meaning (getting ride of something that u can't control) so basically: Prevent = I don't wanna have a wet dream. And u get one. This is life if u prevent something it will happen just like a panic attack. So because ur obsessed about it, it will happen and its a relapse cause its not ur body getting ride of too much juice or old sperm....nah u made that wet dream because of your thoughts so yes u lose benefits. Now u want a solution? Okay, the only solution is to not think. Its hard cause what if I tell DONT THINK OF THE PINK ELEPHANT see u just did so there is no solution. If u read that then all of that represents me am suffering for a year, a whole year with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder related to semen retention) of trying to not have sexual thoughts, wet dreams, precum.......... its because I experienced the benefits and got too attached. Am hurt since 2023 tomorrow is 2024.
hey matt, good luck in your journey. the god has planned our lives the best way he could. every mistake is a lesson for improving. every self doubt thought is meant to help us overcome these thoughts and become a better person. even if we do not see the god’s plan and some of his choices seem not beneficial for us, we probably arent able to see it, we are only people. even if youtube doesnt turn out to be your full time career - you will provide for your family some other way. its the plan of god and i strongly believe he is taking care of us all. thank you for the video.
I won't versus I can't... this is so powerful. Something that occurred to me is that sometimes "I won't" is okay. I won't be a professional basketball player because I want to build a family. That's okay, it's a reasonable conclusion. I won't be a professional basketball player because I want to keep playing video games. That isn't okay. You want to stay lazy and stay the same instead of improving yourself. WHY won't you do something? That's the question. Hope someone finds this helpful
hey Matt, just a small thought or suggestion.. You can put affiliate links for books that you recommend or for exercise equipment. Maybe thats too soon to do.. idk much about that. Maybe you already have that in the back of your mind, but I said it anyway. Stay hard. Love your videos!
Breath noting is a spectacular way to let go 🔥🔥🔥
This video was the best on letting go I've ever seen 💪💪

I heard about this somewhere before and took it for granted. It’s definitely exactly what I need right now. Thank you man.

I’m not much of a commentator on TH-cam but, man did I need to listen to this.
Thank you Matt.
Thank you for another video Matt!

Thank you so much for this kind of videos
I really needed to hear this in this particular moment thank you
Thanks brother
Obsessing over the numbers is a normal part of the lifecycle of a TH-camr. Just do your best to make good videos and the numbers will come 👍
Makes complete sense. Why let the negative thought stay so much longer than the positive ones? just let go. I like it
I needed this brother i started missing and indulging in memories of my ex and I and i was feeling sad as she got a new boyfriend and stuff i wil try this and move forward
needed this man, thank you

Happy new year brother!
Thank you
As a TH-camr, I have struggled with the whole “focus on the numbers” and it really is hard to let these thoughts go. I’m going to read that book.
Buying this book today🔥

Love it Matt
Much love from India 🇮🇳
Killer it 🎉
Fight Club already taught me that, It is a very good method to avoid stress and negative feelings.
I so love you man❤❤ you've said what i wanted to hear
hey matt, good luck in your journey. the god has planned our lives the best way he could. every mistake is a lesson for improving. every self doubt thought is meant to help us overcome these thoughts and become a better person. even if we do not see the god’s plan and some of his choices seem not beneficial for us, we probably arent able to see it, we are only people. even if youtube doesnt turn out to be your full time career - you will provide for your family some other way. its the plan of god and i strongly believe he is taking care of us all. thank you for the video.
I like a lot your content, keep It Up. 🇪🇦
Hey man love your vids. I'm curious whats your job or industry you work in outside of youtube?
So Matt are you familiar with the concept of the “Law of Attraction”?
Let’s goo!
So true
I won't versus I can't... this is so powerful. Something that occurred to me is that sometimes "I won't" is okay.
I won't be a professional basketball player because I want to build a family.
That's okay, it's a reasonable conclusion.
I won't be a professional basketball player because I want to keep playing video games.
That isn't okay. You want to stay lazy and stay the same instead of improving yourself.
WHY won't you do something? That's the question. Hope someone finds this helpful

Good afternoon Matt - always motivating to watch your videos. What exercise equipment do you use daily?
Bench, squat rack, dumbbells, cable machines
@@MattSpear99 Thank you! I see you have PowerTec. Could you link me to what you have?
