What is mindset?

[@bigunit3209]

I needed this video, I kinda feel stuck in a self destructive mindset recently i'm trying to change for the better, It was nice to hear your own story :)

[@RoomOnFireStudios]

Thats so fantastic, its so tricky because its something that just slips into your mind and it can be so long before you realise, so if its helped you at all thats really exciting!

[@PandaTheGFX]

Same!

[@charliedah]

I get the feeling that you wanted to make videos about your journeys and experiences but you yourself don't think you're that great at articulating these things and that you're perhaps not the right guy to teach people about their journeys. Just wanted to say that the way you just sit down and just tell your stories and your thoughts along the way is very effective and really inspiring to someone like me who's in his early 20's trying to figure out life. I have followed your casting for half a decade and loved it every time, but these video's you've done lately are really impactful and I thank you for putting up the courage to make them.

[@RoomOnFireStudios]

Wow I'm so happy you've got something out of this! That really means a lot to me. I think what I am trying to do is to not let myself get carried away by the "what ifs" of doing this, but just trying to keep it about what I am doing right now, a little bit down the road I really want to take everyone interested on a more in-depth journey and do it more extensively! Again, it really means a lot to me that its had a positive impact on you, so thanks for sharing that!

[@charliedah]

@@RoomOnFireStudios yeah they way you're doing it makes it feel like you're telling your stories kind of objectively (if that makes sense) which makes it more accessible for me, as a reader. I'm glad you've taken all your experienced and embraced them to learn from it, really cool! That's what I'll try to do myself. Congrats to that AND all the weight loss! Pretty fucking impressive

[@RoomOnFireStudios]

@@charliedah Let me know how it goes with regards to thinking about all of these things moving foward, I've found that its hard to do and that I more or less constantly forget and just react to things how I normally would have, and then I have to stop myself and think "oh wait, this isn't really how I want to be". And yeah the weight loss has become really fun now, just wait and see it'll be better!

[@darinbeljan1236]

Really loving the vid. The way I see it it's all about giving your all at whatever it is you are doing in life, but at the same time realising that whatever it is you are doing is actually meaningless and once you "get there" wherever "there" is, your life is basically going to be the same. It's a mindset of not expecting a reward at the end of whatever it is you are doing, but doing something because you find meaning in doing it.

[@RoomOnFireStudios]

It can certainly be very confusing if you get to reach a goal and then a few days later it sort of doesn't feel _that_ great any longer. I think I experienced that getting out of high school pretty quickly

[@make5464]

This might be most inspiring video for me in YT. I have been recently been struggling really hard with my mindset with school and I am trying to improve that in future. It feels really great to hear your experiences and that I really feel like that I can relate to you. I have been really liking new content, keep it up Anders!

[@RoomOnFireStudios]

Thats just so awesome to hear honestly, I am really excited that so many people are watching these things and finding a connection with it! I'm not sure where this journey will take me but I really want to share it with people and it feels 'right' just having found a motivation to begin!

[@orbital1337]

What you're describing is essentially mindfulness meditation which has been shown to help with dieting (including the treatment of eating disorders).

[@RoomOnFireStudios]

Yes indeed! And those are topics im really interested in, I just always worry about the 'cult' like aspects of some of those traditions, but I don't think they all have that feel, that'll be another video!

[@thepolishdane]

Anders, you are such a amazing person and this video is really motivational... I totally get that mindset you talked about on "prove your past life wrong".. I had a horrible breakup which destroyed me... And im almost scared to go back to my hometown now because I feel like if i go back and i've achieved nothing, and i meet that girl again i will just prove her right for leaving me and cheating on me.. I wan't to have found a new relationship to prove her wrong, i want to be succesful in life before i go back to show people that the nerd from school actually made it... I'm stuck in this loop of never ever feeling enough for myself... In my mind I'm thinking that im not good enough for others, that nobody likes me.. But the truth is that im not good enough for myself, and it's me that doesn't like me... I'm stuck in this self destructive mind,, every time i try and do something, change something, i keep finding a way to screw it up,, to reason my way out of it... Like you said with the "im missing out if i eat healthy" ... I have the "naah i can't afford the gym, so why bother when i would never show up anyway" ... "why meet up with a cute girl, she won't understand my hobbies, my likes" ... Im rambling now.. its 4 am in the morning, im supposed to be going to work tomorrow morning.. i can't sleep... i keep just feeling sad... feeling stuck... I have a great fucking job, collegues i love, it doesn't pay much but i get to do something im passionate about... Everyone is praising me for what i do, but i just CANT listen to it... i hear it,, but i dont understand it.. i dont feel like people mean it.. i don't believe it.. I really want to change,, and i think i'm gonna seek out some help again.. Sorry, i'm rambling,... The thing i needed today was to get to tell someone about it, get it off my chest.. Now I need to take the first step towards fixing the issue.. I'm gonna try and actually do things to fix it.. stop having excuses,, and take your advice on "listen to the voice and be aware of the self sabotage that is going on" and shut it down and keep moving forward... Why is it that one always feels most motivated when youre actually supposed to sleep... Anyway Anders,, thank you for the video.. It's nice to not feel alone with your problems. Thank you for sharing.. and i feel really empowered sharing my own story instead of keeping it in.. Even tho it might sound really bitchy and crybaby.. I know it is,, but i'm gonna fix it! Ill get better. I know i will.

[@RoomOnFireStudios]

First of all im just so overwhelmed and happy that this is something that resonates with you! I really think you should at least give yourself the credit of being able to 'see' all these things that are in the way of you being happier. I think it could just as easily be that you had gone the route of projecting that out to the rest of the world and saying "its their fault not mine" and I really don't think that helps. But now I think its really to a large extend a question of finding good habits, little things, it all counts. Like if I drop something on the floor in my living room I have a tendency to think to myself "ill pick it up later", but if I do that 1000 times over, I will slow become the guy who "does that later", and I hate that guy. I want to be the guy who sees a problem and does something to fix it right now, and I really think that is a question of habit. So I would say it sounds to me like you have some really good things working for you with the job and the colleagues, maybe if you have a friend or someone in your life that you could say all this too, it would actually help a lot? Try for 2 weeks when you get up in the morning to list some things in your mind, just for like 5 or 10 minutes, that you like and are happy are in your life, if you do it, let me know how that works!

Thanks

[@RoomOnFireStudios]

I hope it meant something to you, thanks for watching!

[@johnnyblaaa]

Inspiring - as always! Keep on!

[@RoomOnFireStudios]

Thank you Johnny, and thanks for watching!

Combination of keto diet and math diet changed my life in less than a month, was a pain to get through, but the output makes it all worth it!

[@RoomOnFireStudios]

Yeah I feel like that might be a route I end up going

[@SKYBJERN]

I can relate to your story, great video.

[@RoomOnFireStudios]

Awesome Michael! I'm so happy to hear that, I just had a feeling that a lot of people will have these kinds of experiences!

[@dual_csgo]

Its not heavy, it's real :) well done

[@wxlljk]

I found this really good for my own health - more like this would be great, you have an interesting philosophy on life.

[@RoomOnFireStudios]

I mean a lot of these things are things I have tried to pick up from other people and just sort of tried to analyze my life with them! Im super excited you've got something out of it and I will definitely make more of this type of content.

[@HoobaBros]

Interesting video, it's a subject that has interested me for a couple of years aswell and i see it the same way you do. Great video once again, and good night :D

[@RoomOnFireStudios]

Thanks so much! Its a really tricky subject to talk about in a way that doesn't come off wrong I find, so happy you liked the videeo!

[@DEVINESz]

Thank you for sharing this I'm sure this can give some deep insight to some people.

[@RoomOnFireStudios]

I really hope it can or that it can lead into more conversations at least!

[@sslemons]

Really hoping you continue these videos, really thought provoking and interesting to see another side of you

[@RoomOnFireStudios]

I definitely want to keep doing this, it just feels like the right thing to do right now and I really get a lot of joy out of talking about things that interest me!

[@jim1234534]

Still loving the videos, but I was wondering one thing. How much of these videos do you plan out and how much is improvisation? mad respect for how you can translate your thoughts and experiences into words

[@RoomOnFireStudios]

I really specifically try not to plan anything too much. I feel like planning easily causes me to think about "what would people like?" and then im almost immediately off thinking in a worse direction. I just try and ask myself "What is the story I wan't to tell" and then I just try and do that as good as I can! Thanks so much for watching Jimbo!

[@Xplicid]

Wellp, you’re definately not some quantum theorist (or nuclear particle something something) but you’re definately an awesome caster and human ✌🏽

Hvad nu hvis "stemmen" ikke går væk når men finder ud af den er der, men bare bliver ved med at hakke en ned?

[@RoomOnFireStudios]

Så vil jeg sige at du har fundet en stærk modstander inde i dig selv, og at det er en lidt tung ting at opdage at den findes der, men det er meget bedre at du ved det og kan tage kampen op. Bliv ved med at tage den kamp, hver gang du opdager den så læg mærke til den og prøv evt at tage en skridt tilbage fra den situation og se om du kan tage nogle dybe vejrtrækninger. Den stemme er ikke den du rent faktisk er!

[@seb1849]

@@RoomOnFireStudios Tusinde tak for svaret, det betyder meget! Vil bare lige tilføje at de videoer du kommer ud med er fantastiske og utrolig brugbare! Bliv ved med det pls
