- Why are we all so stressed and what can we do about it?
Here are some of the ways I deal with stress, anxiety and fear.

“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” -krishnamurti(?)
Krishnamurti!!!!
ekurisona isn’t that was sarcasm is for lol
Be careful of sayings. Someone might find a quote useful or interesting, but they are not universally applicable. There are also some who copy and past quotes to make themself appear knowledgable or wise; although they may be the farthest from applying it to themself.
Precisely!!
As the Buddha knew, stress can never be removed from life, so the mindful person seeks a way to remove oneself from the effects of stress. It is such a basic lesson. Thanks for your very articulate exposition on this phenomenon, Russell.
Ramey Zamora ...truth
Well then I must be a rarity. I have beat stress.
@@dabobthorton6169 How? 🙏
@@asicshot I've done it my way. Simple but longer than I'm willing to write in a post. So if you wanna learn how to beat stress email me. Wolfisvara@gmail.com or DM me
@@asicshot The only way to "beat" stress is to not care. If you care about things, then stress will be an inevitability..
When I'm really stressed out, I think of the vastness of the universe and how small and insignificant we really are in the grand scheme of things. Kind of a cosmic version of the serenity prayer.
I also look at my dog, and look at how happy and seemingly stress free- chill she is and I think, well I must be doing one thing right :)
Just eat more pork
we are not insignificant we have the universe within our hearts
Lol. I think the is beautiful thinking. Thanks for sharing it.
I too think of the universe and how enormous it is, beyond our understanding. And when I think "oh it's just another boring day" I rethink "well it's a totally different day cause we are constantly moving thru space so we are always moving forward"... Then walking at night for 50 minutes with headphones on and admiring nature really helps me feel happy.
@@juliantockar7002
True, but with a small piece of a much bigger puzzle at least in this reality. And there is a lot we have no control over. So I don't sweat it.
Russel brands videos always make me feel less alone. He's so articulate and he identifies so accurately the way that we're feeling.
Russell, Loretta LaRoche’s TEDx talk “How to Humor Your Stress” is a great watch. She’s a Sicilian woman from NY who talks about during WW2, and even during a depression, nobody even used the word “stressed.” They laughed a lot, they saw neighbors and friends, and they had coping mechanisms we don’t use anymore. I think there’s wisdom in that. We’re often coping with the wrong things in today’s technological world, feeling more isolated-and feeling like there’s nothing that can be done about it. You mention tribes and it’s true-we once had villages. Our partners/mates/husbands/wives weren’t our “everything,” we had other people to talk with, to be mentored by, to get charity from and give charity to. I think if life becomes too stressful, which it really can, one might need to dismantle and reassemble one’s life, perhaps in stages and as a journey, until it becomes something more joyful. PS I’m really enjoying your new videos a lot… and we met a long time ago at the “Get Him to the Greek” world premiere in LA. You were supremely engaging with people. (So telling of you as an authentic human.) There was another actor (not to be named) who was not having any of it. But, you were genuinely interested in the people there no matter who approached you. Much appreciation for your sage wisdom in your videos. [ insert smiley face emoji here! ]
Ty ! Watched it bc of your comment my mother is also Sicilian from Brooklyn :)
*One of the best ways to reduce stress is to accept the things that you cannot control.*
The best way to reduce stress is to remove the causes of stress from your life. Anything else is a poor substitute, no matter how much Jedi training you think you have. i.e. If you are living with an abuser, you have to break free. Do not go along thinking that you have to learn to accept their behaviour and adapt to it.
Exactly, like height, penis size, etc.
Rent control and Medical Bill's cannot be avoided....these stresses are increasing and cannot be simply ignored - I cannot accept these things that I cannot change.
You are right! You might not be able to control how someone behaves but you can control who you allow in your life.
@@sharon94503 The question is, is stressing about it making it any better? If you can accept these things as part of your life for now, and find peace with it, at least you will not add another load to it. Try to make the best of it, that is all you can do, and enjoy the rest of your time. That may make it better. Much love and strenght to you!
I'm super stressed and watching this I can't even focus on what he's saying
Same.
Same. It's very, very bad for me.
Try man! Do one thing at a time. Turn away from Social networks.
Feriel فريال me too lol
Exactly, everything he said is good and all, but it aint gonna pay my rent this week.
I'm so thankful you create these videos, you've shared so much wisdom and insight!
shaydee jaydee he’s s trying to sign up for Scientology! Jokes
Snaggle Toothed it’s all a joke dw. Tom cruise is legit though trust me
At the end of the day, it’s either gossip or truth...what bothers me about Scientology is the smut thrown at it yet you see nothing going down yet more publicity for Leah who is an awesome actress. Through the years you see traffickers get taken down and bad eggs do get eaten, but because brand turned down Scientology because he believes in other forces, who is to blame? Religion is a hard thread to break so no point in debating unless you are up front with facts rather than conjecture or general hypothesis. Harvey did get taken down and metoo did become a thing....
Wack Sparrow 2 things. 1. Am I the only person who wants his shirts? Always cute cut. 2. He has done an extreme amount of work and he shares- During a time when the government is trying to stop Opioid use and if ya don’t have insurance 🤷🏼♀️. Cold Kick doesn’t seem safe. Find mentors, reach out because you are not alone.
Re- Russell, I am a Kundalini Yoga Teacher & I know he frequents classes. Regardless- I say we take away the labels.
🦙Except for which one is on his shirt 👕 if anyone knows. Thank you 🙏🏻 Sat Nam
The Grounded Girls his v is too deep but if you have the chest structure to pull it off then go for it. Thought the same thing. 2. His will on addiction is a great example of his power and willingness to be open about it. I have had many friends die of overdoses. I can relate to this guy and I feel talking to this guy reminds me of my 10 years of lessons I learned in therapy. This guy is confident, rich, and still willing to learn. Thanks for the realest post of the day grounded girls.
Seems like an genuinely good person with insightful advice.
Chris Richmond I so agree!
Unplugging from main stream media is a great start to reducing stress. Even the Weather Channel seems to enjoy covering natural disasters and preys on people's fear .
I have been a Buddhist for many years and listen to many teachings, along with reading Dhamma based literature. I suffered terribly with anxiety as a result of extreme abuse by my stepfather and bullying at school due to my ethnicity as a child and consequently struggled to cope with life until my mid 20’s. I have now coping strategies in place that have helped me enormously to face life positively and with hope and much happiness. You Russell are a genuinely compassionate, empathetic and giving person and your words voice much of what I think and feel and this video is a confirmation that I am on the right path. I am extremely fortunate to be able to see the goodness in mankind and to be touched by the kindness of others, however small. I judge people on their motivation and intention not the outcome of their actions, even if it is deemed contrary to my best interests. Thank you for making the world a better place.
Gratitude is one of the most important things I've learned in life.
Russel, thank you for these videos!! Stress got so bad for me my hair fell out! It’s finally coming back.
EDIT: thanks for all the kind words, everyone!
D9 // Danny Wilson that’s happening to me...hope mine comes back in time
@@batgrl1031 you got this! Please take it easy
D9 // Danny Wilson So sorry that stress has caused some hair loss. I can recommend something called bay rum hair tonic.Also take one step at a time to recover, know your strengths and make a difference by gratitude for everything you are grateful for.Time changes things. Keep your mind calm if possible. Know you are important and valuable to society.Wishing you the best.
wish mine would come back
D9 // Danny Wilson I thought your edit would say ooops, hair now falling back out!
Materialism makes us stressed out. The more you have, the more you have to maintain. The more you have, the more you want. I get a feeling of elation when I go from discovery, desire, and then acquisition. I've been trying to simplify my life and live more minimal. The more complex a system becomes the more chaotic it gets. I've been trying to acquire experiences other than possessions. I feel like getting drunk when I'm stressed (but I don't!). I try to keep things in perspective and remain calm.
Nail firmly hit on its head
I'm not so sure about that. Because of disability being so low, I live in a camper and have spent the last year on other people's farms doing work-trade arrangements, and I can tell you that it is entirely possible to have next to nothing and want nothing and still be quite stressed.
@@ArnoldClarke I'm not sure what you mean. It seems like you want it to be a contest that you declare yourself the winner of. Do I have that right?
Lisa Kukla, don’t we all like to be winners sometime. It’s apreciated from me that you think that. Moreover I’d appreciate your life more. It’s my ambition to homestead.
To live less in the superficial world of material.
To live of my land to have goats to grow my own to stay in a modest dwelling. The idea to swap our lifestyles isn’t a theoretical one. Truly I’d want it to be practical.
@@ArnoldClarke That's my goal as well, and the reason I'm dealing with all these exploitative and otherwise toxic people. The easy way would be to go back to the city and into government housing. At least then when my propane tanks are empty or my roof is leaking, I wouldn't have to decide between fixing it and eating that week. Maintenance would be a simple phone call away.
Materialism isn't the only cause of stress. Anyone who would make such a statement as above has surely lived quite a privileged and insulated life.
Thanks Russ - was super-stressed last week after house move - and all last year battling cancer (still 6 months cancer free) and I love to hang out with you for a few minutes most days to start my day in right frame of mind and give thanks for all I have. I love my new flat with tangled woods at back and lots of birdsong and wildlife to keep me centred. You're the go-to man for me for reminding myself how to balance my internal and external lives. Namaste my friend x
I've got to say, Russel, a while back I couldn't stand you. But for a year or so you have become a lovely bloke. I'm enjoying the vulnerable and relatable Russel...
Wishing you every blessing.
Thanks Russel for reminding me the solution is spiritual, my addiction is sugar and this Covid 19 social isolation and lock down in Canada, not attending my practices of recovery in person has been the perfect environment for turning to old coping mechanisms. Finding your videos and listening to your discussions has filled a very strong need for intellectual stimulation, most conversations these days is all about that new big "C: word, not Cancer but now Corona and the primal fear stirs up in all of us. I am reminded of the old saying, " Follow the money," and I ask myself who is profiting from our fears?
"The culture continually stimulates fear and desire"
Damn right it does.....
I know that the constant competition at work, school, or just personal unrealistic standards makes it difficult to cope with stress and anxiety. It is also important to understand your limitation. As for me, I am a bit of a perfectionist & tbh, it causes more unnecessary stress. Part of wellness is understanding the emotional component which is the ability to manage stress by recognizing feelings pinpointing the root cause for your stress levels and making changes to reduce it. Obviously, it not an overnight fix, it is something that can be managed with implementing better habits. This really helped me to understand how wellness is not just feeling well but it is as a whole mentally, physically, socially, emotionally, being well. Anyhow, enjoying your videos, keeps me in the right headspace. Thank you soo much for sharing!!
Unapologeticallyu ❤️🦋
I started lookin up to this man from the begging when he was this charismatic dude that could talk his sense into any convo he was , but I’m smart enough to understand I was younger n admired the way he talked , but even tho I still do , no argument there this guy is a beast in every way , but now as I’ve got older I understand my POV for liking him then was ignorant n immature u could say , I’m happy to experience my own awakening with this mans , this isn’t a comment to this video so to say , but In general his growth is amazing shout-out to u Russell , a real inspiration
I've admired Russell as a person for a long time... I was rooting for him to get clean and find a nice lady to have a family with and then cheered when he did!
"Meditate, Meditate, Meditate." Deepak Chopra to Wayne Dyer. This is the best thing I have ever done to alleviate my own stress. The more I do it, the more I love it. It took me a few weeks to get into it several times a day (sometimes just once or twice). But man, it takes away buckets of stress, leaves you feeling good all over all day. And if you find a panicky feeling coming on, just do a quick, ten minute meditation (or longer...the more you do it the longer you will be able to stay with and enjoy it.) There are so many great free meditations here on TH-cam...what a blessing! I do some regularly over and over again, and hop around now and then when I have a particular issue a meditation offers to address.
After suffering with mental illness recently and never being aware or conscious of mental illness before, I'm so thankful and overwhelmed for you and your TH-cam channel. You will never realise just what your knowledge and experiences towards these subjects have literally given me a light at the end of the tunnel. Something which I've failed to see for a long time! I thankyou from the deepest parts of my heart!
I have no support groups or anyone to go to to work with stressful situations... just a social media friend that lives on the other side of the world and videos such as yours. Thank you for making these videos. They are greatly appreciated.
The negativity is always around the corner. We just have to appreciate the now n squeeze as much joy out of the scenarios we find ourselves in. Always always always. Be as happy as your circumstances will allow. x
love this x
I have anxiety and I wish I could have a mentor like Russell. There are so many people on the internet who are gurus, doctors, therapists, etc but Russell is just very calming. He surpasses them by far. Lucky are the people who have him in their life.
Russell killing as usual! Thanks for these videos! You inspire me to post videos every single day and follow my Life Purpose and passions!
th-cam.com/video/6EkNXLaZS1Q/w-d-xo.html
Probably the only person who speaks to my soul and gives a great insight in to my own mind
We aren't a human kinds in a spiritual journey instead we are a spiritual species in a human journey Thank you so much Russel i love your content it's tremendous how its raw , no edits needed no motion sounds just information of the topic and comments section is deriving a Thoughtful community nobody is toxic out here Youre awesome man
Russell: May I suggest that you welcome up the feeling of stress and anxiety. When you resist it, the feeling just grows. But when you keep welcoming up the feeling and give it love, it actually shrinks and goes away. You'll train your mind, body and emotions to do it automatically over time. This is the Law of Opposites at work. Give it a try. Love and gratitude from Scottsdale, Arizona!
I have decided... you will be my guru for the time being. I will follow all that is implied in every video. I will listen with awareness and understanding. I will come back by the end of this year and note any uncoverings of truth. I shall converse with you one day. Namaste.
Just listening to this video has helped with my stress levels. Lack of social contact is a problem for me. Thank you Russell 🙏
I remind myself that in 10,000 years none of it will amount to a hill of beans! 🙂
Yes. This too shall pass.
It doesn't matter now either
@Nilayan Majumdar I don't believe in spirituality. I believe in vibes, but it can be explained logically.
Tyler Frauenfeld Spirituality IS logical - we just don’t have the knowledge or vocabulary yet to express it, but they are one and the same. That’s what’s wrong with so many religions - they split spirit and matter - big mistake.
@Nilayan Majumdar I don't believe in souls, is that still spiritual?
Living simple ..no harm done to anyone.accepting that living in your own means and circle is your thing ..then looking over the horizon at the possibility of life not being about the perpetual loop that pushes people down the drain is key to future fulfilment..love ya musings..
As you accept the things that you cannot control, the things that you can control will not seem like things you MUST control. Rather, those things will seem like friends that are helping you out. I believe this, although I am so bad at it. I get so frustrated when "things don't go my way". I know bad fortune is such a beautiful learning opportunity to let part of my ego die, but I usually miss it. I'm getting better though.
I had a thought the other day, how awesome it would be to not need to know the date. How arbitrary the calendar actually is. Incredible!
You just made me check.
OMG! - it's September!

I watched the video on anxiety,addiction and have now watched the one on stress and each video I’ve been watching have actually made a lot of things slowly click in my mind....I find myself in situations that I can take what you’ve said Russell and apply it and actually, i don’t know, it helps me see clarity in moments where I usually wouldn’t 🖤
I used to experience a lot of stress for years. I learned to work on myself and got rid of all of it. I taught myself, with time, to have faith that things will work out, because I learned self trust and self respect,- traits that make me feel safe about juggling whatever situation or person approaching me with a problem. So I feel safe in myself because I know I have the power to be in control of how I feel. Also, when it comes to feeling unsafe and not grounded in the world, I learned that starting to feel gratitude for what I do have has helped a lot. Also, learning to let go of anything that I can't control. And having faith that what's meant to be is meant to be and it's all for the better :)
Honestly, after viewing so many of your videos. Once in your past life, you were a philosopher. The way your views mend eastern and modern philosophy its what we need. Specially if you live in a city- like myself Hollywood where the stressed level is unreal! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and please don’t ever stop!!!
I had an argument with my mom that left me so emotionally distraught that I’m fighting a 103 degree fever. What timing! 💕
“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself,
but rather to your estimate of it;
-and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”
M. Aurelius
Bothand Nether Great quote! Thank you.
Thank you for saying this. Chronic stress is such a problem. I don’t remember feeling this stressed prior to smart phones when I could leave my work at work, facebook was still fairly innocent, and I wasn’t being bombarded by fear and expectation in the media. I personally left the job I didn’t believe in and am fairly successful but even so there is still the rat race and awareness of problems in our world that seem too big for any of us to change individually. There used to be a time where we could just focus on our immediate community and making efforts to better that community, but now we are so interconnected by media, it feels that our efforts locally are no match to the global media paradigm.
we are taught to be consumers, one thing, as you get older, i believe in recycling and would rather have a happier more natural, stress-free life and do something i love than engage in competition. i really dont have the energy and as you age, your ability to cope with stress decreases. it all goes along with being grateful for what u have. never compare yourself with others. namaste.
Thank for speaking on the links with self harm, money etc
Stay Blessed Russell 🍀
You were right the first time, they’ve all been proven to alleviate stress. Those are all support systems, and it has been proven that people who have the proper support systems in place are more successful at achieving their goals. The feeling of having no control over what happens to you can cause depression and anxiety; the feeling of having or gaining back some amount of control in your life can,and most often does ,relieve stress. Having the proper support systems in place increases your chances of success in areas of your life like finances, parenting , marriage, and other relationships, etc. So now we’re back where we started, having the support systems you mentioned do lead to a less stressful life. And if anyone asks, you can tell them it was proven right here, or they can check out the article on APA.org called Manage Stress: Strengthen your support network.
PS: I also read that TH-cam, FB, etc. don’t count as support networks, people need to socialize face to face.
That’s my 5 cents that’s probably only worth a penny. Have a wonderful day everyone.
How do you stop caring about what people think about you? How do you left go of the past and stop obsessing over things that happened
Do your best to grow. Learn whatever you can. Get in tune with your intuition. Forgive yourself for bad and embarassing things from the past and learn from it. Love yourself. The better you can tune into your true path and self, the less other people's negative opinons will matter
Thanks for respecting the rooms and being vague. Too many stars don’t keep their yappy traps shut at the level of press, radio and film. I know quite a few famous people in the deal and they’re always low key- i hope there is a conversation about that in your circles... all my best :) people will find what they need- the rooms are there
AIGHT HEAR ME OUT....
the first day I talk about me stressing online and offline, and all I see are recommendations for stress relief. THEY ALL LISTENING LMAOO
Once again, on point like an arrow Russell! Not a pessimist, just a thinker, like you. Can the Dalia Lama achieve zen if he had chaos around him 24/7? It's easier to be zen when your surroundings are zen. It's even easier to then carry that mentality with you while in the middle of a strange distant storm. People who have to live within chaotic atmospheres and still find zen, are golden to me. I treasure people who can speak like you Russell but they are usually poor and have difficult living circumstances. I'm not saying you don't have any stress because if you're breathing, you're probably going through something. However, sadly, most humans are stressed. Although money isn't everything, It's one of the major contributors of stress and anxiety because we know we need it to survive in this materialistic world. This video will help and for that I am grateful. Stay strong poor people! Stay strong the unfortunate! Stay strong those who feel alone, lost and weak! Stay strong those who are in the middle of the storm! If you manage to find happiness, if you manage to smile a real smile. Then you're stronger than you think and I am a fan of you. ✌🏾💪🏾
it seems to alleviate a world of stress most people create a dogma which will tell them how to live their lives. I feel that if you are a free thinker you need to be prepared to wallow in the muck, stand your ground and be prepared to shine bright
Good points! Spending money is a worldwide "entertainment" now. I felt kind of nauseated just writing that, lol. Ugh. However, I believe that I actually "cured" myself by doing so. It made me realize that other substances and processes I've been addicted to are in remission because, basically, I was sickened by the idea of doing them and put them down one by one. But I am still too much of a consumer - and that is a mindset as much as an activity. I don't like being "trapped." Long live liberation! Martha Woodworth The Psychic Is In.
Thanks man. Because I feel often so vulnerable and guilty whenever I lose my wits or stress out about things, also I have to deal with a lot of stress from my environment while keeping my head cool... It can be overwhelming at times. To keep a balance in the midst of plights and expectations, of oneself of yourself and of others of your self and of you of others... The key is to let go, of everything, in time, always... And still. Thanks for addressing so many meaningful issues.
Thankyou for this video, I found it very helpful due to deep depression and stress which seems to be my daily frenemy.
I’m so saddened to hear how high the numbers are for younger people. I too have struggled with anxiety, depression & stress on & off since I was 15. Some people seem to go throughout life seemingly unscathed, yet others battle with it all the way through life. I wonder what the reason behind that is?
I think some of us feel some things more deeply. So that means that some people in stressful situations don't feel the stress to much and have the ability to focus on things that matter in that moment, while I and so many others get completely overwhelmed with stress and make it worse in our heads to the point we can't focus, we loose control and we start panicing, we develop anxiety which ofter comes with depression. Recently I have been really focusing on the efects of stress on me vs. my friends and some people are definitely stronger and can cope with stress much easier which in the end doesn't make them anxious and sad.
L 2198 Well said. Exactly!
As I’ve come to place where a lot of what Russell teaches I’m learning, have learned... I often find myself alone in this new place of awareness/self observance. Now I’m not lonely, and there are people who understand the concepts but there are people who immediately become overwhelmed at the thought of digging down deep into who they are, why they feel the way they feel. I often use metaphors and examples of all of the tasks in life we perform automatically and how those subroutines also play a major role in our thought patterns/habits. However, I remain encouraged to at least discuss and promote deeper personal discovery, acceptance, introspection from a third person perspective as our higher conscious self is the viewer and the listener. Very much how we perceive other people’s actions and interactions with others and in the cases we place judgement or criticism we often seem to already have an answer or the response of I would do this or that differently. Or “why would they do that to themselves?!”
However, as we turn inward; for those of us whose thoughts seem to be louder and in more control, the task of processing the feelings turns into becoming a slave to feelings and emotions. Especially and more notably, negative thought processes and behavioral patterns which I would say predominantly operate out of fear. (As a side note: I believe everything falls under fear or love. In believing that I often reflect or observe in that moment where the feelings are coming from and it’s usually quite easy to tell. )
We know when we have problems in our homes, with our cars, and with our bodies we have to address them otherwise the issues could get worse and lead to even more difficulties. However, that same practice should be applied to the mind.
As you begin to face fear, anxiety, step back and observe yourself and dig deep down as to why and understand that these are thoughts, cognitive processes that require revisiting restructuring. As for the thoughts that are mostly negative, I consider them delusions or over exaggerations of our fears/concerns.
It becomes a challenge to alter and create new behaviors and responses that stem from that steady and clear observation.
We are meant to feel emotions, but our internal thoughts should not cause us to feel ill, down, etc. A shift to facing oneself and challenging those unfruitful and debilitating mental/emotional manifestations with very grounded “present” minded clarity to see that all along, we could have processed all negative thought much like happy experiences. By that I mean accepting all experiences, accepting all that occurs outside of your thoughts and actions, and by working diligently to live a life your spirit desires unhindered by delusions and empowered by engaging in your life with clarity and acceptance.
I view this conflict of the spirit and mind as a great comfort that my body and my spirit are alerting me with warning signs at onset of accepting negative thoughts (specifically ones that lead to anxiety, stress, or depression.)
I’m still in the beginning of this journey, but the moment my thoughts attempt to return with the noise of negativity, I look at them and shut them down like two terrible friends sitting on the couch next to me giving me terrible advice.
As for people who have trouble accepting, understanding, or rejecting the concepts of awareness and observation; deeply saddens me.
As I observe them I can almost see defense mechanisms pop up to protect and validate deeply negative behaviors, and thought patterns. I deeply empathize and I can only hope to incite self discovery and questioning.
Thanks to your videos I feel comforted and relieved that there are people who are deeply passionate about mental health and working to do their part for humanity.
One love! Thank you for this video and all others you’ve posted. Cheers!!
Russell, I watch you everyday dude! I like how you present your ideas with such powerful structure of words and delivery.
Stress has been giving me so much pain for over 10 years but now I have tools to relief it in minutes. I have also started to randomly get washes of warm bless, a intense feeling of nice breeze inside. it's incredible.
Stress has forced me to find
-spirituality
-warmth
-peace
-peace in making things or reading books instead of playing video games
-intesne body experinec
-A fantastic way of feeling life and aliveness
-A way to become the master of my thoughts (They don't play around with me anymore, If they start to I can let go)
-Eckhart Tolle (Gateways to now on Spotify, This album changed my life)
-Wim Hof (His breathing exercise has given me a bigger trip than alchool, light drugs or any other meditation)
-Dao de jing (A incredible text! But I don't think I would have understood any of it if I would have started with it)
- Russell Brands TH-cam channel
What brought you here?
I have problems connecting to people and being vulnerable. Several diagnoses. But my biggest problem is finances and things like insurance for my vehicle had to go unpaid yesterday. It's extremely hard to see that finances cant eliminate the majority of my or people's stress. You are a big motivator for me though. Thank you. Wish could have one on one with you.
I have gone through a lot of my life with the belief that the "grass is always greener on the other side" , with that competing with others to get to the other side so to speak. Only to find that it was not greener and in a lot of cases a shade lighter. What I am saying that society is structured to have us competing against each other over very little gain at all. This creates the stress and like it or not folks it is a killer. No need to self harm you are doing that when you are stressed. And just sit tight it will kill you. Look around you today how may of us know some middle aged people that have died. This is all so not natural. I personally have given up the stress thing intirely. Everyone should enjoy life as best they can. Do not let stress kill you.
Thank you Mr. Brand. You are not alone. We are not alone.
*Everyone should try meditation. It’s really such a game changer.*
How do you meditate?
Marko Radojević sit.
@@markoradojevic5057 : Look it up on the internet, or here on youtube.
@@markoradojevic5057 it's a lot harder than just reading about it. I gave it a go about 100 times and it didn't do anything for me. Guess there's just no quieting some minds unfortunately.
It may work for you tho. Iv heard lots of good things. Simply sit comfortably, let your mind go quiet, when thoughts pop in and out try to just observe them rather than pay attention or give attention to them.
@@jasmineleigh2275 lol, and try not to fall asleep!
I have felt this way about the need for fundamental change for as long as I can remember. Stress is the root cause of all problems. I feel that at a micro and macro level in our world we are seeing the results of and ideology of division and competition. It's like people got stuck on "survival of the fittest" and want to apply it to every area our lives. Nature doesn't work that way. At its core nature is fundamental unity and oneness. If we start from that perspective maybe our world will begin to reflect it.
Per cognitive therapy theory, I think, the generalizations ('stress', 'fear', 'upset', 'extreme emotion') tend to overlook EACH INDIVIDUAL's specific internal talk. The internal talk has to do with harmony and discord with presenting circumstances. Access to the 'stress' is access to the specific internal talk that manifests in the sympathetic nervous system as 'stress'. In this profoundly sick society, there is great lack of cognitive skills to process (integrate) the thoughts about harmony ('love', 'compassion', etc.) and discord. Control dramas (shootings, bombings) are designed to keep us off balance--distracted.
The traumas aka wounds aka bad /unwanted experiences that happened to you can exponentially increase how life threatening the stress is. In my experience, the most important traumas, not that all aren't important ...but are the ones that happened 0-3 otherwise known as the ones you can't recall. The body remembers, listen to the internal voices of the individual traumas treat them as parts and oversee from today and practice self love if you can't one of the parts knows why xxxx
Real power is in letting go, not holding on.
What a selfless man you are.. Good advice to the young. Us oldies been there done the deed as and the outcome... Life is goooood💖
Dearest Russell, I am a fan longing for a solution and I have a request. I was wondering if you could have a global meditation ON a certain date and time for one hour for millions of people to meditate together to knock this virus out. It is with great love, compassion and gratitude I ask this of you as you are so brilliantly spiritually connected with so so many!
I am ALL in spreading the word... and the healing... I Love you ever so much!! 💕💕💕
Thank you 🙏🏼 Thank you 🙏🏼
So well said. For me it was acknowledgment and shedding of fear. I appreciate you taking the time to address these matters. You are blessed brother.
I’m stressed to the end of my rope.
I wake up and cry...and cry myself to sleep most nites.
I don’t know where to turn
....I’ve lived a great life...I’ve no issue if I go....I’m alright with that !
A person can only take so much
😪😪😪
There's a passage in the Bible that sums it up : Luke 12:16-21
Agreed our society seems to glorify busy and leaves little time to be still and reflect which holds the space for renewing of the mind and spirit.
It feels like an impeding doom!we who have our eyes open feel we are hopeless ,I try every waking moment to be positive but the evil and hate is STRONG and I think as a world people who were generally happy and light are fighting the demons around us.Get off the internet stop reading the news,get out into nature,grow something,do for others.Keep fighting the good fight !don’t give into evil around us!Namaste
I believe that it's the very pursuit of happiness that leads to stress and dissatisfaction. What if instead we pursue a life of meaning, while accepting that life is full of ups and downs interspersed with periods of sheer boredom? There are times when all we can do is endure, and that is a kind of heroism.
My top tips of what’s worked for me:
Remove yourself from this fast paced hectic society and pay more attention to what is around you... influencing you every moment without you realising.
This means, live somewhere which feels inline with your true nature and values. This might mean moving.
Stop watching tv and tailor your media feeds to only feel good influences and resonate with you.
Have less. Get rid of most of your things and just have the bare minimum you need to be happy. (This is HUGE)
Downsize your life and stuff and you WILL realise you don’t need much and hence you don’t need to earn that much money. FREE yourself.
Take yourself away and realise that societies pressures are just one bubble you can step in and out of.
Step out of it, and you will feel free to live your life how YOU want.
When you step out of this stress bubble of society and get rid of all your stuff you will see just how much it was weighing you down.
Pay attention to what’s influencing you, we are ALL SOO much more sensitive than we think!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ xxxxxxxj
Loving all the videos your pumping out! Keep it up much respect!
Because of security, I defo do a job I don't believe in. I feel I sell my soul for a slave wage.
Thank you for your honesty. It is precisely selling ones soul working at slave wage job you don't believe in. I have struggled with this as well. Its an archetypal mind control matrix implant. Got to turn inward more and strengthen that connection and it can be erased.
If you feel your selling your self cheap. You probably are. Good for you reconizing this. Most spend thier entire life figuring out thier worth for them selves.
Totally didn’t expect to burst into tears watching this video...you completely struck a chord with me.
It fascinates me that we as a society now all have so much time, free time and choice that we can get stressed about a job choice or fitting in groups, when only a couple of hundred years ago, stress came from actual survival and life was hard and short. With time and intelligence come new problems...
Not talking and listening to Soothing music does it for me to relieve stress.
Thanks for your insight, it's never as bad as we think, but I do think it's reprehensible that people have sought to profit solely from the idea that the more suffering they can potentially convince or contribute to, the more wealthy they become from the suffering of others. Nobody's pain should be the sole motivation for another's relationship to wealth. People who do earn an honest living trying to positively impact and improve the quality of life for others should be rewarded.
These videos are probably the most insightful life advice videos out there lol Keep it up Russel, you’re dope 👍
I think a lot of it stems from the lack of money. Most people are panicking over not being able to keep up lifestyles (ahem) likely after divorce or complete destruction of their position or family life... financially strain a bit, worry about keeping the roof over your head for your children and ask yourself if you’re still calm
I find Sailing Racing as a great way to reduce stress... the comradererie and Improvisation problem solving, and communion with water and the abyss, makes it calming.
We take PTS Survivors out on Lake Michigan for just this point.
I'd wonder if Russel has been out Sailing. We could hitchhike on a Chicago sailboat sometime on Lady Lake Michigan! ;)
I took your advice about moving on from a relationship Russell and deleted my Instagram, I hope it helps me move on from this seemingly long and endless process of getting over the end of a relationship. I can’t believe something so short lived had so much of an impact on me
keep em coming brother your videos always help
Captivating....
The stress - react with consumption cycle is just crazy and needs holding up in your face sometimes. You can so easily slip into that horrible pit. You also got me with stress = anger / fear / anxiety. Thanks Russ, you are clarity in the fog. 🙏🏻
thanks good topic. i think stress goes away when one practices meditation, in meditation or no thinking the brain I believe practices peace, restructuring the brain waves and having peace in the mindfulness.
Russell Is very spiritual. People like him with such intense wisdom is the result of having a Near Death Experience. It happened to Jim Carrey. I Would love if he tells about his experience of the "other side"
There is an important TED talk by Kelly McGonigal that showed people who did not view stress as harmful had a lower risk of dying than people who experienced little stress but saw it as harmful.
The belief that stress is bad for you is the actual killer.
Get enough sleep (8hours) , meditate daily , go for a walk daily , exercise , eat well , do yoga , go out with friends , ask that girl or boy , man or women out and if it doesn’t work out just know that u tried , cut down on social media or delete it , do these you will be less stress also cut down on how much TV you watch 🙏 “take care of the body & mind and it will take care of you” self discipline is self love.
🙌💕 I feel like I spend most of my time during the day focused on de stressing. Waiting for the day when it just becomes automatic release.
Very lucidly conveyed Russell. They do say that some stress is beneficial and I think if you are ambitious when you are in your younger years it can be a good thing. However, it can also be very insidious if forced upon people who do not have that mindset - those who are more thoughtful or empathic or sensitive or going through tough times for example which can lead to very negative results from breakdowns to worse. As for those who go into Government - they know it is stressful and they think they are able to handle it at the frontline - how they communicate between governments can result in stress for the people because they can cause many issues that ripple down and have a clear impact on people's lives.
Stress is caused, among other things, by not fully processing and releasing emotions that get stuck in the body. Sometimes those emotions originate in childhood. I don’t feel stress can be successfully fully released from the physical structure without conscious movement (shaking, ecstatic dance, even HIIT).
Those negative stressful emotiions could be getting fed to us through our cell phones. Don't believe me? LOOK IT UP. Yes despair as well.
I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in feeling so stressed...but it sure does feel like I am alone....very alone 😔
I thought that jiu jitsu and other martial arts helped relieve stress, but it was quite the opposite for me. However, routine exercise, proper nutrition, meditation and positive relationships is very helpful. You also touched upon a career that fits your personality and a less materialistic view of the world. Great video!
Russell...I am so thankful for you...so many of your videos have resonated with me and helped others aroud me in finally freeing myself from almost 40 years of living in the hormones of stress and living be the thoughs of depression, anxiety, guilt and lack of self worth...your videos and others in the last 5 months have finally helped me to overcome myself! I WOULD LOVE to see you have Dr. Joe Dispenza on Under the Skin...he is helping so many people...the way he explains things is so powerful...he is a kind, gentle, humble man who you would love and I think his ideas and techniques could help our community here to heal and I think you would get a lot out of him too personally...Love you, grateful for you, bless you...
A poor wretched man at his ropes end
Without sufficiency of income or pay
The due date for his multitude of debts
Was the morning of the very next day
He knew precisely what was the reality
And had already counted the cost
The collectors will arrive in the morning
And his family's house will be lost
He descended into the quicksand of guilt
Fear and grief compounding despair
Not a single strand of hope within reach
Left for this man to cling to was there
He looked upon his wife and children
For his failure he's solely responsible
But for him no course of action remained
Nor any solution seemed possible
Behold, a dreaded knock at the door
Much to this poor wretched mans dismay
"Why, oh why, are the collectors so early?"
"Oh please, oh please, not today!"
He then proceeded to open his door
And there in the rain holding a letter
Stood an innocent little messenger boy
Sent from a friend and not a collector
The messenger boy told the poor wretch
"Your old friend in fact did so inherit"
"An absolute fortune of pure gold"
"And with you he intends to share it"
His friend had penned a letter of promise
"I will meet you at the bank tomorrow"
"Then I will pay each one of your debts"
"I will release you from pain and sorrow"
Having read the letter from his dear friend
Delivered by that messenger boy
The poor wretched man leaped in the air
With an incredible abundance of joy
His spirit was filled with the joy of hope
And from fear he gained his release
He bore no more grief nor felt any sorrow
Guilt and despair transformed into peace
But what did the poor wretch truly have
And on what did such great joy depend?
He still had no money of which to speak of
Just a promise in letter from a friend
If the poor wretch believed not his friend
What outcome would then have resulted?
He would have remained in his despair
And his friend would feel greatly insulted
But this poor wretched man was faithful
He believed and trusted his friend
Faith in a promise was the very foundation
On which that poor wretch's joy did depend
This is the power of faith and belief
And consequence of distrust and doubt
One leads to joy and the other to grief
But that's not all that his story's about
Those who have ears now let them hear
A layer of meaning beneath his story
Things are not all that they would seem
Within in the words of this allegory
The poor wretched mans friend is Jesus
The debt owed is for sins and depravity
The collection date is impending death
And that poor wretched man is humanity
Trust His promise of life and redemption
Let not doubt and despair to remain
Believe in Him who paid for salvation
The Joy of hope in His grace is to gain

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord...
He will swallow up death for all time, And the Lord God will wipe tears away from all faces, And He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth; For the Lord has spoken...
He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed...
All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him...
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him...
having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross...
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit...
and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death...
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
