Thank you Jordan so much for taking the time to put this list together. To voice all these critical issues that the majority humanity is missing more than ever in this distracted and digital enslaven world. God bless you for all the beautiful work you do. I very much enjoy all you videos.

[@jordanthornton]

It took some time to reflect on the 25 signs, but comments like yours make it worth it. Thank you.

[@eSpanishfly]

17 years ago it was a Friday it was a mild day and you were watching a self help video and didn’t compliment me on my hair 😂

[@jordanthornton]

I can't believe it either. Toxic relationship. Dreadful.

[@anetnel-fk7vu]

With a name like spanish fly, this video is clearly for you........

[@sophie_wembridge]

The end of my 2024 had a lot of life changes and these things that I didnt do last year, I now do. Watching you again is a nice reminder that growth isn't linear, it's more like returning home. Thanks for being a constant through the seasons.

[@jordanthornton]

Great to see you back here, Sophie. Feel like it's been a while since I saw your comments - so welcome back, and likewise wishing you the best for the new seasons ahead in your life. There is light on the horizon, and it's a non-linear light.

[@luxsomnusaeterna7438]

I have a lot things todo this year. I am in fear and anxiety, not well prepared (maybe a bit), not fully healed. But I am in an age where I must Cross the Threshold and begin my journey. and I picked 2 fortune cookies with the same phrase:" the world needs people exactly like you ". that's a was my begin of 2025. lets see if I Thrive with these tips.

[@jordanthornton]

Cross the threshold, you got this.

[@meadow9]

Thank you Jordan. Rumination can be a big issue as it can take up continuous cognitive effort and can set heavy social limitations, and it’s mostly invisible.

[@jordanthornton]

Rumination and resentment is the deadly combo.

[@dieHetster]

I love reading, but I also have severe ADHD. Reading is extremely hard work and if I have to read a page for the 4th time just to process what I am reading. Do you have any recommendations or wisdom to share? I opt for audio books, but it is also a hit and miss.

[@gogego998]

I got 4 books you heavily recommended. Can't wait to study them,thank you.

[@jordanthornton]

You're a champion.

[@Luk4zguy97]

this is the first video of yours I've ever seen. I'm 16 minutes in and I'm genuinely impressed with the topics and your concise descriptions. thank you. namaskaram❤

[@jordanthornton]

Welcome, you better get your bookshelves ready for dozens of new arrivals if you choose to stick around.

[@arnisashehu5034]

We need more men saying that some 'adult' content is just not good for the soul. I have a lot of discussions with my friends about this. I think, they think, I am an alien 😅. Once again thank you!

[@jordanthornton]

Of course, it seems obvious lol

[@mayam1881]

Great video to kick off the year with! I appreciate the info of course but what really impressed me is how you did it with one take!

[@jordanthornton]

Yes, I love the challenge.

[@yinglan9606]

What a list 😮‍💨 not to mention as a one-take-wonder feat, thank you! Some niche and provoking points in there to think about! Fun video, thank you again Jordan!

[@jordanthornton]

It takes a lot of work behind the scenes, but I feel very fortunate for the support I have, Ying Lan.

[@shashanksharma6376]

Can u give me the list of those new 6 books?

[@gailaltschwager7377]

Thank you, Jordan!

[@jordanthornton]

Always a pleasure.

[@abhaibiju4170]

Brother Thank you for sharing you're wisdom🙏🏻

[@jordanthornton]

Truly my pleasure - did any signs match what you're going through too?

[@Amaniamanova]

I have a deep intention to heal my addiction with phone and social media. . Generally I am trying my best

[@amandabeauchamp244]

Do you have any tips for developing healthy intimacy after abusive situations that shaped my reactions earlier ...I have done EMDR therapy for abusive ideas I have held about myself . any authors u recommend 🕊️

[@AMluminis]

A question - do you consider doing shadow work a priority when you are still in freeze/dissociative states often? Or is it better to focus on somatic experiencing first? Shadow work is often very cognitive, which is hard to access/dysregulates you further when you are living in freeze. Great video overall!

[@jordanthornton]

Shadow Work includes somatic work if you focus on the somatic unconscious, or somatic shadow. This is what I teach in my course and community, but the majority of online shadow work remains intellectual I agree. Perhaps there has yet to be a deepening into this awareness on your side? Check out my Shadow Work Playlist here on YT - it's 5 hours of free material, mini-course and it covers this issue - should help.

[@Emnet87]

Alfred Hitchcock called he wants his one shot back 😂. BRAVO tho Jordan.🎉🎉🎉 Amazing insightful list

[@jordanthornton]

He ain't getting it back hahah

[@lollylula6399]

Love the playfulness, clickbaity but not really, apt to the time of year, informative, and concise title. Really helpful to see and appreciate the things I am doing for myself, what I can improve on, and the things I'm not doing. The main area I'm lacking in is structure/discipline, generally, and specifically with my reading, notes, inner work. Thanks for another informative accessible video that's helped bring me clarity and motivation again 🙌🏼

[@TheFreedPerspective]

Dude. I fucking love you! You are sassy AF. Don’t touch my Shoyeido incense (it’s supposedly nontoxic)! I am SO inspired w/ how to engage with books! I just ordered betrayal of the body and I have never highlighted a book in my life! I know I know, so fucking rigid. I’m bout ta get INTIMATE with my books😁🙏

[@MichaelWilliams-bx2ty]

I can't wait for the video advice you give to help me improve myself to the point where I can afford the shadow course. It's going to be a hoot!

[@jordanthornton]

Send me an email to [e-mail] if you need a double discount to afford things. I know you've been active here on the channel for a long time, and I appreciate that commitment - would be happy to help you out, lets connect you with the structured curriculum and everyone else in the new community to kick off 2025.

[@tasneemahmed2524]

I wonder if you have any book suggestions for maladaptive daydreaming. That would be very helpful.

[@jordanthornton]

Sure, look into active imagination and the jungian literature. You could start with The Invisible Partner by John Sanford if you want romantic, or Limerance by Dorothy Tennov.

[@tasneemahmed2524]

Thank you so much

[@Victor_Vincent_Vurpillat]

This was a wonderful video. It really shows your talent and depth of knowledge on this subject. I am so happy to be an early member of the Shadow Work Library and learning from a Pearless teacher like you. The new weekly calls are amazing and I am so grateful to have access to you in this way. Priceless🙏

[@jordanthornton]

Victor, you're the OG shadow worker here. Thank you for these words. I'm loving the depth and intelligence of our community discussions right now. Screenshotted this.

[@alexdobos902]

Are you familiar with Dan Koe? You have similar insights on certain topics, even though he creates content in a different area.

[@jordanthornton]

Sure, he's great at what he does. Smart guy.

[@Annekephi]

Wow, thanks, sigh🙏 You make so much sense. Much welcomed at a time in the world where few things do. You are just a powerful light. Thank you

[@mielmielmielfantasy]

@jordanthornton these are framed as negative identities, framed as reasons not to succeeed. You mention being aware of unconsious structure and language structure. I will focus on 25x reasons that I WILL succeed in 2025 and learn the tactics that are going to make it a reality. I have been learning a great deal from your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your work. I am enjoying reading Alice Bailey and Carlos Casteneda based on your recommendations. Your channel has been a fantastic source/reference and a treasure trove of useful information. Thank you again for doing and sharing your work!

[@jordanthornton]

You got this!

[@ATouchofBeautyinEverything]

Amazing list. Thank you!

[@jordanthornton]

My pleasure, thank you.

[@MaknaEXMachina]

Mmm...I think this one is due a rewatch in a few months. Thank you for your videos, Jordan.

[@jordanthornton]

You got this.

[@DiamondMind630]

Some amazing points Jordan much appreciated Brother.

[@jordanthornton]

Truly my pleasure to be here, was a fun video to film.

[@Hibbyz.]

Thank you, I appreciate you and how you have pointed me in a more resonate direction. I’m reading don’t believe everything you think right now and I just ordered archetypes and the collective unconscious. I’ve never done this but Im going to read more than one books at a time. Thx again (:

[@jordanthornton]

You got this - check out the six books im promoting on my website newsletter too, you'll love them. Link in the description. Got archetypal themes in there.

[@Annekephi]

Wow, thanks, sigh🙏 You make so much sense. Needed at a time in the world where few things do. You are a powerful light. Too cute, if you want me to highlight books, I will highlight some freaking books. 😂❤🤓 Hug

[@AJ-iq9ng]

I have been exploring Atheism these last few years and agree with your point 18. It’s dark and lonely. Is my disabled son is a product of bad genetics or the deepest spiritual teacher in my life?

[@jordanthornton]

I know the feeling, and appreciate you sharing.

[@isabel12194]

Do you have any help videos/books to help the inner child deal with parental loss please?

[@jordanthornton]

Yes, many - search 'inner child' on my channel when you're on a laptop. Got dozens of books recommended over last three years, be well and good luck.

[@moritji6090]

I mostly read sitting / lying down, its hard for me to focus on what I am reading while moving or standing :)

[@jordanthornton]

You can always build up your tolerance. It gets more and more rewarding.

[@messengerescape]

Ha, Jordan! You look like you're loving life at the moment. I love it. 😉

[@jordanthornton]

It's been a great month, and I feel full of grace.

[@thomaswest4033]

Sometimes our bodies take time to adjust when we take on a new diet. Have you tried seitan before?

[@jordanthornton]

Sure, I'm mostly plant based. No meat or dairy for me.

[@christophervictordeli]

Thank you for this. A question on the burning of incense, how about burning white sage or Palo Santo sticks as they are not a mixture of God knows what? I personally prefer essential oils but I do appreciate those two. My body feels calm after burning those while most incense sticks make me feel agitated in the body.

[@jordanthornton]

Sure, that's different if you have a good quality source, but still be careful.

[@kervj]

Where is the discount code I think I heard that

[@jordanthornton]

It’s on my website, link in the description for the newsletter sign up and I’ll email you the six book study guide and the code will be there too. Looking forwards to welcoming you onto the inside ✌🏻

[@kervj]

@ bro I want to be a life coach and I’ve been studying this stuff but this year you inspired me to go harder I will definitely see you in there !

[@sāmtscn]

what are your thoughts on adhd drugs. I have coped with adhd my whole life through charisma planning meditation and so on. now I have been diagnosed and have the bottle of pills in my room, looking for advice.

[@jordanthornton]

I generally support people after they've decided to start coming off these things, when they want to see what's possible with natural healing via psychological inquiry, but I'm not a clinician and I hesitate to give you advice in a KZbin comment. I hope you understand, and be well with whatever you choose.

[@R.L.Kramer]

Not to hijack this comment, but I took these meds for 16 years, I talk about it a lot on my channel. There may be some resources there that may help you consider them. My experience is different because I was sort of forced on as a child and remained on them until early adulthood, but perhaps the insights can be of value.

[@sāmtscn]

@@R.L.Kramer tried it today, never again. Worst feelings ever.

[@skullchick911]

The incense was surprising but I understand ur reasoning :)

[@jordanthornton]

Yes, much healthier options out there.

[@vaidehimajithia6260]

Thank you JT🫶🏼🙏🏽🤍

[@jordanthornton]

Truly my pleasure, any signs stand out for you?

[@vaidehimajithia6260]

@ communication! Also, I’m reading James Hillman’s soul’s code. The Acorn Theory. It’s hit me like a bolt. There is so much I need to admit to myself 😂😢

[@Boiledchickenleg]

Why is your eyebrow pierced?

[@meshavillar]

I don't trust ANYONE with eyebrow piercings 😂

[@jordanthornton]

Wait, what? I didn't know that was there.

[@Boiledchickenleg]

@@jordanthornton You have a piercing in your face. Look it in a mirror. It could get infected.

[@haydenkerr4151]

Great video thanks for recommending the p0rn myth it was a great read really opened my eyes to the fact of how many people just accept it as normal. a great list you put together and i look forward to implementing as many as possible this year. Thanks again :)
