Hugs Josh - so many big changes in your life - I hope you have enough support to move on with increasing peace into your future.

[@martinwest6400]

I swear I saw it coming. But that’s because I actually watch the videos. Lol😅

[@keshakellogg5995]

Just found your channel last night Josh, so this is quite a time to be getting to know you, but I wanted to say "Hear, hear" to everything you said. You're processing and releasing in such a healthy way. I resonate with your spiritual path and feel grateful to be a witness to it. Wishes for a continued sense of peace and wholeness for you today. ❤️

[@kurtholzmuller2828]

So sorry Josh you are going through this. I have followed you and your brother before you left on your own and have been following you here on this new channel. You have my love and support and I will continue to watch as you deal with this and continue to grow! You are a beautiful person and I believe life has some really GOOD things for you in store. Hang in there continue with your journey, surely not an easy thing to deal with at all!

[@dejavu4974]

I’m sorry for all the pain and hard to deal with changes and all the issues you’re going through. I really hope you have a great support system to back you up and lift you up while you’re going through this!

[@adoration20]

Made me cry. Thank you for sharing. I feel you right now as if I took a dive into your soul and it is weirdly wonderful, your feelings are honest and you are so brave for being who you truly are. So rare. Thank you brother. I hope you feel how much we appreciate your beautiful, honest soul. Can I order your book from Bosnia?

[@camille7074]

Hi Josh, I am glad I visited your page and watched this video. Although I am in no beak-up situation, listening to you felt like you were explaining what I am going through right now. One thing that helped me was when I started to value quietness. It made me think more, see and feel more. I wish you good luck and may your heart heal with butterflies again. Trust the process and enjoy the journey.

[@jesmmifs]

Man, I feel that ayahuasca trip really messed you up. It's like things have been spiralling downwards for you since then. You're having an existential crisis for sure. My advice to you is to find something that grounds you. Get into a healthy routine, surround yourself with positive people and get some support.

[@simonsays525]

You have a story that his experience is bad, but that's your story, not his.

[@pododododoehoh3550]

@@simonsays525 thats because he's seen whats happened to josh like me and many others who have loved him for years and seen him grow (in my case grown up with him as I first found Josh and his brother at 15 and they inspired my love of cooking tnats made me who I am today. He's searching for purpose and has fallen down a dangerous path of identity destruction.

[@jakespur6094]

@@pododododoehoh3550 just because you say you have known him doesn’t mean you know who he really is. If you were a true friend you would support his journey. Ayahuasca and the shamans have had thousand of years of experience as opposed to your none.

[@jeffthompson1869]

I agree. The dude is drug addled. I have seen it many times. He thinks he is sharing some wisdom, but he is simply a lost soul. And the people around him probably care about him - but he is so far gone - it becomes a relief when he is not around.

[@sscott4028]

Very happy for this stage of awareness you’ve reached. Enjoy the journey. Your a good person. Keep loving.

[@rime1585]

I really appreciate this video, so many points that I could relate to. Sending love!💙

[@manystar]

I wish all good things come your way, i hope u are in peace now man, i´m glad you are putting things in order,,,big hugs

[@nylonnarwal7712]

Great video ! I've never heard you or anyone speak with this kind of perspective. Mostly everything youre talking about i organically realized around last year. But in reality speaking about the ultimate truths of life led me to realize people dont wanna hear or think about that.. This situation was so reoccurring, I slowly began to put it in the back of my head. It just feel nice to hear it from someone else. I'm happy you have your own channel buddy. Cheers!

[@creativefun4710]

I like who he is at the moment. He is extremely honest to himself and to us. We have so much to learn from him.

[@NEVBB24]

Thank you for this - perfect morning listen today!

[@theacademyisntt]

Always wishing you the best, Josh. Definitely a very tough and confusing time but hopefully someday you'll look back and smile at what was an important stepping stone in your life. You seem to be handling it well and I hope you're handling it well behind the scenes. Send positivity and warmth your way.

[@Dridri-mz4yu]

Im in the same situation... its hard but we can make it💪🏽💪🏽 Thank you for the video!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hi Josh, Im sorry you are going through difficult stuff but this too shall pass. Just keep faith and positivity and look for the good in all things. Change happens to all of us. Some good, some bad and we learn to navigate. Blessings on your journey.

[@OnsideHaddock72]

I have depression but watching your cooking videos helped- its a distraction from the terrible, sometimes thats all that helps

[@diasrvlife2649]

Sorry to hear that... I feel your pain. I got divorced almost 2 months ago now.... after 18 years of being married. So many emotions for sure.

[@YOUENJOYLIFE]

thank you for sharing, how are you doing with everything?

[@diasrvlife2649]

YOU ENJOY LIFE the first month I just wanted to cry all the time... But now it’s been getting easier. We have a 17 yr old daughter. So my x and I are still very close and try to get along. I hope I can move on and not feel as much love and emotion for my x... I am just taking it one day at a time. It does get better keep your head up. One day at a time... one emotion at a time. ✌️😃🤟

[@God4445]

Wish the best for you two✊

[@LaoSoftware]

I got divorced since 2010. I'm way happier single. I can focus on myself. Take care of me instead of others. It's less stress for me.

[@Usernameblankslate]

Remember when you announced getting married so this is sadden to me. At the same time I’m happy for you. Change is an incredible thing to go through and hopefully it leads you to better days.

[@jaydencparker4968]

Hugs to you Josh. I hope for good things for you both. What you said is true, sometimes it’s just best to sit with the feelings and not fight them/deny them so much. Takes time to take the journey through them but there will be another side

[@adamlaicw4983]

Stay strong Bro Josh, regards from a Malaysia fans. I love your cooking show.... Please make cooking videos in future. You always my No. 1 freelance chef.

[@clairewyndham1971]

You've "grown" so much..I wish that your growth, while needed..wasn't as painful. I have watched you for years..You and Mike. I read of your wedding..your trips overseas..watched your eyes age..and now..to hear you..but, somewhere you'll find that which you need. Peace be upon you.

[@bettyb1313]

Keep your head up brother life is a journey im glad that you understand all these things!

[@mariepleione]

Hi. 😊 I stumbled on to your channel searching for singing bowls and got interested in your channel. There was something about you that resonated with me. Wow it's so interesting how we can react so different. I got a divorce the same time as you and I didn't become a people pleaser....I became a tyrant 🙈🙈🙈. I'm studying now to become a life coach so I'm also realizing how much all of that was a process. I love this video. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope you are doing well. Greetings from Egypt 💫

[@Claudi771]

Good luck with your new situation I adore you cause you’re WISE AND THATS A GREAT THING!😻

[@mrjosvasquez]

It's admirable to see you stay positive and composed even though you're going through a rough patch, much respect to you josh

[@Dennis-rh3ih]

That was well said and I hope all the best for you in the next part of your journey.

[@theforeverlovelyjacquelyn5756]

Will you be reading your book for the audio book version?

[@Pooty_With_A_Fat_Booty]

I understand exactly where you're coming from. We see this in people around us as well as in ourselves, especially on every social media platform, where people will aspire to a societal norm or expectation (like getting married or losing weight or plastic surgery or finding that dream guy) as if doing so crystallizes it forever. When, in reality, those ideals change for better or for worse. The important thing is to grow and evolve from those changes.

[@MusicIan423]

The key with the mindfulness meditation stuff is in Not judging the experience, ONLY looking at it objectively. I suffer from a very severe depression; being aware is nice, but in my experience, that makes it hurt more (but also heals it faster), but whenever I finally stopped judging the pain it immediately transformed and stopped hurting so bad ( and incidentally, healed much faster).

[@JoshuaBates01]

thanks for your comment. What do you mean by stop judging the pain? Thanks

[@MusicIan423]

@@JoshuaBates01 I consciously choose not to identify it as "pain" but as "a sensation that happens to appear negative from my perspective", almost like it is a neutral sensation that I am mistaking for pain. It doesn't completely rid the pain, but it causes me to not identify with the pain, and soon, it kinda turns into something silly and I feel like smiling it off. It makes me realize that the weight I put on the emotional pain is heavier than the pain itself. I then find it easy to let go of. For a while. Of course, sticking with it is important, after a few weeks/months of not meditating I start pushing down the pain again, which lets it fester and grow and the problem starts again. It's an ongoing process, really.

The name of the channel should be Permanent Existential Crisis.

[@keter1234]

The best way to feel better about yourself is to ramble on and on about it to other people? It's easy to see why you're divorced. Slow down man. You're repeating yourself multiple times.

[@michelesimko7541]

Appreciate your dilemma and taste your philosophy. What are you doing in your life. Fellow Buddhist

[@suchartboontid2560]

I've always liked you and you really made me smile so many times. I mean no offense by this but have you got a therapist? They might be able to help you. I admire you for putting your life out there and sharing the pain and your experiences with the world but I don' know if it's the right path for you, or anyone really. It's really harsh out here and if people sense your insecurity they will run away with it. You seem like a kind and sensitive person and I would hate to see your tendency to please others become your undoing. You don't need to make others happy. Just make yourself happy and others will be happy for you.

[@josephjohnson5139]

Great video

[@met3839]

It is very hard to say this but please see the bright side smile and move on coz any second more you waste in those feelings you are denying the happiness god kept in store waiting for you so get up this second and move on your life is going to be brighter and beautiful.. good luck in this new journey we are all with you ...
