I was listening to a podcast that said, “it’s important to live life by design rather than emotion. Basically, sticking to a routine is what allows us to be the healthiest version of ourselves (especially when you're fighting these demons ex. OCD for me). I’ve had to overhaul how I approach taking care of my brain (exercise, journaling, studying etc) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 50-60% effort into my journaling habit - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on my youtube channel. Historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now I’m trying to give a small, consistent mediocre effort everyday. And its crazy how it adds up. I finally feel less dysregulated and prepared to tackle my other issues like my loneliness.

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

You're definitely someone who's helped motivate me to follow my dreams and accomplish my goals. Don't stay in your lane if it is going to help others!

[@drugsorme2714]

I have a different experience from yours when seeing the Rich Roll podcast. I think it is okay to say your views on BLM, but then going on to only interview people with the same views as you is sort of saying you know everything there is to know about the world. The comment section is basically saying if you don't agree with BLM 100 percent then you are a racist and a bad person. I think he can do what he wants but I will take a break from his stuffs for at least a while.

[@PositivelyMe]

I started thinking of myself as someone who went through things in past and learned things about myself and about life that I can now talk about honestly to give people who may be in similar situation hope.

[@5t4n5]

Screw staying in the lanes, Rich. Keep on doing your thing wherever it takes you. I've been listening since those first ones in Hawaii and it's been an amazing, mind-expanding journey with all the wonderful and different people. 11/10

[@nickbouzianis2455]

Transcending my most cherished stories has unlocked more happiness in my life than anything else. Great conversation!

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Once I got over the pain of nostalgia, I can now remember with joy and happiness. Now I can make new memories!

[@lunallena5594]

Hey Rich, you own all the lanes on the expressway with your unique experiences. Please continue covering these topics, I enjoy the content you share with us. Thank you!!!

[@theovstheo]

Perfect timing for this podcast, thank you Rich!

[@meghan42]

There is constant renewal in the presence of right here and right now.

[@macareuxmoine]

Oh yes! I love the way the podcast evolves 🥰 those who listened to the podcast in the past know you can be trusted on these issues.

[@dr.jimmarcilla2880]

I have really enjoyed the new direction of the podcast. Trauma and addiction has a similar narrative in all of us. Thank you for reminding us and exploring these topics!

[@planetvegan7843]

Nothing has helped me heal from my past and forge a new narrative more than going vegan. 🐣🤘💪

[@qcomberette]

DON'T stay in your lane Rich, I love the variety of your podcast always bringing interesting people in.

[@karenmarwil3905]

God I love this conversation so much! Rich Roll you are one of my favorite podcasts that I listen too! Thank you for all your putting out there into the universe 🌻🦋💜🌈

[@meghan42]

Yassss! And our kitchens!

[@robmartin1792]

11:34 It's important to evolve!!!! Amen, Rich Roll!!!! It is at the core of our beings to create and evolve into our greatest potential. I am so excited for you and the travels you are embarking on with this platform. I am thankful and grateful to be a supporter of what you bring to the world. Keep up the great work!!! All of the Best. Peace, Rob Martin

[@beverlyhillsdentist]

Glad I stumbled on your podcast! I continue to learn every time I listen to one of your programs...thank you!

[@TheCryptoLark]

Love these Rich!

[@jonboehle3395]

change your state, change your story, change your strategy

[@sarahweissinger9371]

I like Rich Roll in the widest lane possible!!

[@kristingibson3342]

Please don't stay in your lane. I love the direction you're taking the show. Right. On.

[@tracixglenn]

I can't believe that anyone would tell Rich to "stay in his lane." I've only been watching for a few months now, but I've heard him talk about so many different topics and I've found immense value in all of what he has to say. I hope he feels more support than criticism here✨

[@DeonBraun]

Most helpful questions especially to note the buds we've ascribed to the branch of our life, and then questioning their validity against more positive ones we may be overlooking. Thank you Rich and team!

[@stevefranks1711]

Powerful message -- well delivered. Very helpful for me right now. Much appreciated. Time for me to shift lanes! Thanks for the clarity and inspiration Rich.

[@ohflamingo6905]

Looking good!

[@ironmarc7881]

I love this. Super relatable

[@conordevineIM]

I echo previous comments... I needed to hear this. Keep evolving and keep learning Rich ✌🌾

[@brucedemeester8547]

Wonderful episode Rich! There's indeed no one size fits all -- stay on your own pad and do things that work for you!

[@dainasworldnumbers88]

Excellent! I listened to the podcast.

[@garyharnish2395]

Preach,Roll

[@evelynbaron2004]

I love this excerpt -- always loved the song Even The Losers get lucky sometimes; best lyric to me was God it's such a drag when you're living in the past. In my profession it's all about narrative. You can use meditation to rethink your story, but the lynch pin is when you gain insight you must act and make amends to yourself as well as others--real steps to achieving the examined life. My besetting sin is would have could have should have. I can't help that reaction but mindfulness helps me to watch that thought and let it go. Bravo you guys!

[@meghan42]

Hey, if you're using meditation to rethink your story, you're not meditating. Love the rest of your comment. Tom Petty!

[@mauricepowers3804]

And when family doesn’t see I have changed!!!

[@valentinazoraplasaj238]

❤️He’s amazing.

[@barbaralevine9048]

Love the beard!

[@CaptainMedina]

Keep learning. There is no finish line!

[@rotekanale8124]

That is the ultimate question.

[@treesb201]

I like my stories and I have a clear view of my past and my present.

[@meghan42]

I like some of my stories and dislike others. Writing a life review has been revealing.

[@tb8827]

Brave one

[@MrAlliswell88]

The BIG, almost universal story is "I am in control of my life". I suggest this whole belief is the WHOLE story.

[@meghan42]

Sequay into the question of free will?

[@MrAlliswell88]

@@meghan42 It's not a "question of free will"...it's a question of who/what actually "has" it.

[@1amG1G1]

♥️

[@bevanwiig7175]

very intriguing that if you strip this down in its essence.... being present and not living by the stories of the past which shackle us all down, rethinking those buds on the tree and creating a new narrative in the way we treat ourselves, and in so doing teaching others how to treat us... how we respond in pent up defensiveness.... the past doesn't need to dictate your future.... what ever you focus on you simply get more of etc.... Imagine if you raised those philosophies in your last podcast.... mapping out a logical path forward for a very large group of people defining themselves from so many layers of stories... I wonder under those pretenses in interviews with example Morgan Freeman, Oprah, Miles Davis, Kevin Heart, Obama, Micheal Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, Serena Williams, David Goggins, Stevie Wonder, Dr Dre, Jayz, Beyonce, James Brown, Denzel Washington, 2Pac, Little Richard, Jordan, Carl Lewis, Spike Lee, Quincy Jones, Richard Pryor, Muhammad Ali etc..... what story narratives they would provide and discuss with you?..... It would be a very interesting discussion and a vastly different philosophical narrative from them than what society feels they need to present for them..... don't listen to those people who say you cant, including yourself! What you focus on is what you get (ie Morgan Freeman for president basically)

[@Artdovskyy]

It’s amazing how this podcast actually is the same old ancient wisdom man and knowledge provider from the movies and books

[@RedPillVegan]

In between _stimulus and response..._ *there is thinking* This opportunity is brief.

[@ImprovingAbility]

How do you even know your stories? And then so well that you can make informed decisions based on them?

[@alessandrofacciani7209]

Rich belongs to a different category of human beings

[@meghan42]

No. He's one of us. Just doing his thing. Definitely a lovely human being.

[@colettecolette4292]

Oh no Rich! Another beautiful jawline concealed by a beard : ( Really enjoy your podcast. Thank you!

[@FrizzelFry]

This is a huge question. Maybe focus more on who you want to be instead on who you where ? Then maybe that will also lead you to confront who you thought you where. This is so difficult to answer in a general way.

[@seamusdebuitleir20]

Tanx Rich,interesting story,if I smoked and I don’t smoke now.? Do I call my self a smoker? Similar with alcohol if I don’t drink any more do I still label my self as a drinker who needs alcohol to surface without inquiring and investigate the why’s? And all the imposing a diet of bull shit and a culture of fear? Imposed on us? Truth is a path less land☘️💚🇮🇪🔑🤝🙏🏻

[@meghan42]

Was there alcohol involved when you wrote this comment? Don't worry, I'm not judging you. I just happen to recognize it in myself. It takes one to know one!

[@seamusdebuitleir20]

I don’t understand your question?

[@murraycowie9234]

let the alcoholic story go

[@meghan42]

He has. He explains it in the interview.

[@kelseysmith7132]

I do love Rich Roll podcasts... And many of the statements tucked into this video were littered in white privilege.

[@katefreeman7641]

can you please elaborate?
