It’s actually pretty easy to be self-disciplined (if you stop getting distracted)

Self-discipline comes from clarity, not force. It's not difficult for a writer to get up early to write. It's not difficult for a bodybuilder to eat healthy. It's become a part of their identity. They just do it.

When you start a business… by yourself…. YOU ARE THE PRODUCT. Figure out your strengths, personality, and skills. Market YOU. Connect with customers that MATCH YOU. Target people YOU WANT to help.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

[@IkamiLog]

Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!

[@Jennifer-bw7ku]

Yes, dr.sporessss I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

[@morseemily]

I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.

[@TimRidleyArt]

As an artist, I've always had the negative reaction to the word "business" just as you described. It's an unfortunate and limiting belief that has kept me working for studios and not for myself for several years. I'm excited to start Mental Monetization and finally start working for myself. Thanks Dan.

[@nickiboy33]

Im glad I transformed and doing everything Dan mentions in this clip. I also working to get closer to enlightenment, there are 4 stages and according to head monk in a temple I was staying for a while Im close to stage 2 so I just “float” around, not worrying much, working every single day towards fine tuning my goals and MY future and being selfish. You all should do the same. We come with nothing into this world and will leave it same way. Make your life count and BE HAPPY. Ask yourself what do I really WANT? Now in this very moment and in your lives.

I felt confident in writing because I wrote a lot and enjoyed writing but never treated writing as a valuable tool in my business. Writing was just an enjoyable mental exercise for me. Since I didn't guide my writing in a productive way, I stopped writing because it was taking too much energy. But now it is time to take it out and use it in my business. But this time, I think I can guide myself to use writing in a more productive way. Thank you Dan for this fresh look on writing. I also realized it will be extremely productive if I write before I create a youtube video. Now I feel grateful that I did write so much in the past. All that writing wasn't in vain. But this time, I am going to write to be profitable! I can't wait to write again!

[@___JUANMAN]

[@meherzadirani3889]

My Understanding from this Video: - Many people struggle to focus on their big goals due to distractions and external influences. - Parents and society often dictate what people should care about and pursue, which may not align with personal goals. - Overcoming distractions and achieving goals requires self-discipline, which comes from clarity and knowing what you want. - Self-discipline involves saying no to distractions and maintaining a clear vision for the future. - To achieve self-discipline, one must remove distractions, view life as a game with challenges and goals, and reinvent oneself by changing behavior and identity. - Confidence comes from pushing beyond limits, failing, and learning from those failures. - Starting a business, writing in public, and making new friends are key steps to building self-confidence and achieving goals. - Publishing work and exposing oneself to criticism and feedback is crucial for improvement and building confidence. - Confidence is a journey of continuous improvement and self-discovery, requiring dedication and a willingness to face challenges.

[@rajbala6010]

Contrary to the notion that the mind craves order, it is, in fact, inherently chaotic. The mind operates by diverging into multiple directions, enticing distractions, and perpetually scanning the environment for threats and pleasures. Attempting to sit still without thought proves difficult, regardless of the meditation technique employed. Nevertheless, achieving success in any domain necessitates understanding one’s mind and imposing a degree of order upon it. This task becomes particularly challenging in our modern age, where myriad distractions constantly vie for our attention.

[@Bittzen]

Our Will seeks Order, but the rest of the brain is causing erratic disorder and affects the mind. Developing a stronger Will will help us assert Order over Entropy. I believe the region of the brain that neuroscientists say is the seat of Willpower and potentially even the will to live is called the Anterior Mid-cingulate Cortex, if I recall. It can be grown larger and developed, but most people don't know how to develop it and do things that shrink it. Addictions weaken it. Doing things we don't want to do grow it, which makes it easier to do what we don't want to do and develops our Willpower. The opposite, falling into bed habits and addiction, shrinks it, which obviously makes it harder to crawl out of and weakens the Willpower.
