Hiya Russ me old mate, I've been a sub since the beginning and I've never once seen you reply to a single comment so when you say every single video how you do and how engaged you are and how you care you don't really mate so maybe start engaging or stop banging on about how you do. Just a thought

Thought is always first….so it makes no sense. “Think yourself to act yourself into thinking differently “ 🥴👌🏻

[@KalebPeters99]

It's a quote from Richard Rohr iirc. And obviously action requires planning thoughts to be undertaken, but I take it to mean "new PATTERNS of thought are created by beginning new patterns of action, not the other way around"

[@KalebPeters99]

@@randomelvis3359 Fair enough. I think if you interrogate it enough its literal meaning may break down, sure. At the very least its a call to action instead of over thinking when wanting to make a change, and I think it rings true!

[@enzoma7253]

Thank you for the brilliant video Russell. Personally, I don't like Tony Robbins, but that doesn't invalidate the points he made. Actually most of it coincides with what I've read in Stoicism, I guess they are universal wisdom that exist throughout different ages and cultures. Just imagine that, for thousands of years, we are just struggling with the same things over and over again, generation after generation. FFS lol

[@Dave-ql8tt]

In our society, all too often, arrogance is mistaken for confidence. True confidence is a lack of stuff. A lack of fear, an acceptance of who we are. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves of that by trying out different methods, it's all ok. Make yourself stand tall! As alien as that may feel it can lead to inner confidence or lack of fear, acceptance, whatever we wanna call it 🙃

Have a look at surrender by Michael Singer. Leaps and bounds of just being. Everything is relevant but also it is not.

[@anolds24]

For someone at peace with their level of confidence, that would be beneficial. Acceptance is good. However, for someone who is not at peace and crippled by fear during the slightest of interactions (like a friend of mine who was too lacking in confidence to even ask for her annual review where she will get the raise she deserves), these tips may be very beneficial. Everyone is at a different place in their journey. That’s easy to forget sometimes.💚

I’ll be honest, 10 years ago I wasn’t a fan but you’ve converted me now. I’m sure it has a lot to do with your wife and kids (aswell as age, like me!) but you just seem so much more grounded and settled now. Just wanted to say keep doing what you’re doing and thank you for sharing.

[@bigal2731]

Hey Russell. A few years ago I went through CBT for anxiety. It worked wonders for me; techniques we can use to slow down the mind, observe our behaviour & thoughts, and make changes to "Break the cycle" of said thoughts, behaviours and whatnot. Focussing on Achievement, Closeness, and Enjoyment in activities and trying to get some of that nectar each day. The more I watch your videos the more aware I am that these techniques closely mirror spiritual practises, in particular this is one of the aims of meditation. The idea that confidence IS something you can CHANGE about yourself, as stated in this video, I think is a key part of realising that one can take charge of their own life, and whether that knowledge comes to someone through the lens of a therapists office, or through spiritual practise, I think it is a good thing. As well as, of course, helping people realise the importance and indeed necessity of connection, helping others, and so on (This is what's meant by "Closeness). What are your thoughts on the similarities between behavioural therapies and spiritual practise? I feel like Buddhist monks had mental health completely sussed out 2000 years ago to be honest but I would love to hear your view!

Hi, Russell. I suffer from a mental form of OD called scrupulosity. I would appreciate some instruction on overcoming mental illness. I went to a therapist years ago who gave me some coping techniques that are helpful, but I can't say I've overcome it. She also put me on Zoloft but I had some terrifying days when I ran out and couldn't get more (insurance issue). It was so brutal I decided I didn't want to rely on chemicals. Thank you for dedicating so much of your life to helping others. You really are helping.

I listened to the Jungian Life podcast after your interview with Lisa Macchino. It is really interesting & listening to them talk is really calming. What about doing something on here about interpreting dreams? Sam Harris at al in terms of meditation practice, doesn’t seem to pay much attention to them, but the Jungian perspective sees the relevance of trying to make sense of them and what they might be telling you.

[@isis8803]

about meditation, many people think it will stop the ugly thoughts.... I believe it actually serves us to REALIZE that we have those ugly thoughts.... recognizing is a first step to be AWARE.... once aware of what it is, we may decide to do something differently and evolve, without attachments to a way of identifying ourselves that is toxic and/or obsolete... some may see this world full of rainbow unicorns, others may see it full of shit....as with many other things, what that old man said may apply: for this life we need to learn to keep "that fine balance between hope and despair"... love ya

Also, the Forbes article was about how workers with low self esteem cost them money, I'm guessing; not that they had even a second of inclination to consider their workers as human, conscious individuals with needs and rights. We as a species set our selves up for this kind of treatment karmically (sp?) when we started treating animal and other people the same way?

[@christopherevans4743]

Some research suggest that High Self Esteem is not all that cracked up to be. People with high self esteem find it difficult to accurately assess their true feeling and have difficulty with emphathy. Very high self esteem borders on narcissism. So maybe being of low esteem isn't suffering at all but just different like being introverted or extroverted. Self compassion is a much more natural path.

Actually, I find that the more confident people are, the less they have to assert their power over others (banging their fists on the table, etc.), and the kinder, but TRULY KIND (not out of trying to get others to like them) they are.

Carefully all this self love doesn’t turn into spiritual narcissism or just plain old self obsession

[@lorierhardt5551]

self love is naturally a love of for others, you care want to share rejoice in others successes whereas narc. is wanting to take, own, control, lack empathy, no accountability or ability to self reflect. Yes one must understand know the signs.

[@jojowillcoxwillcox7623]

Narcissistic people don’t love themselves. They hide their true selves to avoid intense feelings of shame. Self love is not narcissistic because the love inside can turn outwards toward others and the world.

I have read three books by Russell Brand all one after another. Two more than I've read from any author ^_^ I was wondering about how to build my confidence. After exiting a cult and suffering numerous chronic health conditions and sometime last year having planned to go back to Canada twice and having decided not to because of the pandemic and personally wanting to avoid the vaccine for personal reasons siding with the Anti Vaxers movement, coupled with having dropped out of a college program, my confidence was REALLY taking a beating. Building my confidence was something I wondered about just now. Interestingly, Russell Brand uploaded this wonderful and helpful video ^_^
