why the placebo effect can ruin your life

[@Musical_parks]

In Buddhism, they make a distinction between pain and suffering. I believe pain comes from feelings while suffering comes from thoughts. If you can accept and feel into your emotions with compassion for them, you can learn from pain. If you get better at spotting negative thoughts before they become worse and figure out ways to shift them into positive thoughts, you can avoid suffering

[@Pawnlust]

Pain comes from injury most of all.

[@MegaNoahj]

Or not to think can also help avoid suffering

[@Musical_parks]

@@MegaNoahj both are good depending on the circumstances

[@steepdeej]

Reading this feels like a life hack… I think for me it is more a forgotten art. The art of enjoying life

[@d1ssolv3r]

​@@MegaNoahj not so much about not thinking but just your thoughts not having total control, the Buddha thought, a lot. but you see thoughts as a tool not your ruler

[@gigijenner5932]

i think this is why the idea of manifestation is so prominent nowadays- our thoughts really do create our reality

[@Julian_Stories]

100%

[@48lawsofpeace]

How do they create reality? I'm intrigued.

[@gigijenner5932]

@48lawsofpeace I gave an example in my other comment, adding onto that comment, it makes you think about how that could extrapolate to our lives through our daily thoughts and beliefs

[@48lawsofpeace]

@@gigijenner5932 I see where you're coming from. But what about factors like privilege, opportunity, luck, and systemic barriers. If someone works extremely hard but faces discrimination or economic struggles, their effort alone may not guarantee success. Help me through to understand this concept if I am not understanding.

[@Was_los_Bruda]

@@48lawsofpeace our thoughts always subconsciously loop, this can be observed but most often is not. What you focus on and keep thinking turns from a thought into fact depending on how chronically you persist in the way of thinking you desire to express itself in your reality.

My self-worth was also entirely centered on my academic success in school. Yet it no longer makes me fulfilled as it used to. Currently 3.95 gpa in junior year of college to put in perspective. I threw away my need to socialize ever since the start of high school. I rarely work on any relationships and as a result I didn’t realize how many flaws I have as a person until I got heartbroken recently. I really wish I made an effort on myself than just school work years earlier.

[@NewEpictetus]

placebo - positive belief nocebo - negative belief

[@gigijenner5932]

I also remember hearing about a study on placebo effect: one group was given something harmless but were told it was something they are allergic to and they genuinely had an allergic reaction (desptite not coming into contact with an allergen). Its insane, if I find the study I'll post in the reply. Just makes you think about how your thoughts can literally poison you.

[@Julian_Stories]

Thanks for sharing. Yea I heard of that experiment, I'm sure it's mentioned in a few places but I first heard about it in a book called "Influencer". In that book, it talks about an experiment where there was one group that was allergic to poison ivy. And the experimenters blind-folded that group, and touched their leg with a normal leaf, but told the group that it was poison ivy... and they had an allergic reaction. So it's pretty crazy

[@spiritualplayboy911]

My man has discovered a profound concept. Our mind is root of all the problems in our life. Now discover what lies beyond mind and body too. Goodluck

[@VivaciousLyla]

reminds me of the phrase, “we get in our own way”. thanks for sharing this!!

[@Julian_Stories]

100% thanks for sharing - the phrase is sad but true

[@astralphoenix69]

This is completely true. Your thoughts can be extremely dangerous and that's what I'm experiencing right now

[@leeaka0ne]

You're totally right 👍 Things often nor good, nor bad, we make them good or bad by choosing the frame in our mind.

[@Julian_Stories]

Well put!

[@TheWiseNarcassist]

You have power over yourself never forget that

[@shermit9115]

I feel like this idea is obvious, but so hard to grasp and put into practice.

[@Julian_Stories]

Yep implementation is everything

[@yama_enmaten]

cool video. it's nice to see people sharing their thoughts. btw i kinda agree witht the smile thing, i always feel better when i put on a smile, maybe something related to hormones? idk!

[@Julian_Stories]

Aha good to hear :) This comment made me smile

[@yama_enmaten]

@Julian_Stories i'm glad i could bring you a smile 😄 and i think you nailed it with this short video. i hope it reaches a wide audience

[@dreamykid]

Something I've realized in life is that it's easy for us to to trick ourselves into believing things are or will be worse than they necessarily have to be. Like if there's something you're about to do that you're dreading like getting a shot, doing a chore, etc., then after it's over, someone might ask "was that so bad?" focusing too much on how much you're not going to like it probably makes it seem worse than it really is, but it's an easy trap to fall into.

[@harvetica]

Nice video mate. I’ve thought about this before. The first step of all this is being aware of your own emotions and to have the ability to see your issues from outside perspective similar like what you said. I also find giving myself advice as if I’m giving it to someone else but with the same issue helps too. Also saying about pretending to smile can help too, I read somewhere that if you spend 5 mins pretending to be happy it can trick your brain into actually being happy.

[@Julian_Stories]

Very interesting, thank you for sharing your thoughts mate. One of my main goals is being more aware of my emotions - so I appreciate your advice!

[@minacamoglu1419]

Thank you so much! This was right to the point and also very helpful.

[@Julian_Stories]

You're very welcome!

[@Dyslexicrat]

I was always aware of this concept yet I still managed to fail the victim mindset, it’s wild but definitely true

[@Julian_Stories]

Yea it's difficult. This reminds me, I recently read something called Solomons paradox, which states that we are better at giving advice than taking it. So I'm trying every day to actively improve and actually internalise the advice!

[@HiCARTIER]

3 best quotes from this video: Inject positive thoughts into your mind from a third person perspective. Emotions are programmable. You can basically choose what emotion you want to feel right now. Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.

[@documento6789]

can you point me to that study? sounds very interesting. Great message, thanks.

[@andrewwang1650]

would recommend reading the works of Joe Dispenza and Neville Goddard

There's a few videos covering the milkshake experiment on KZbin, but I believe this was the original paper: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21574706/

[@unnerving1081]

you always have a choice. Always.

[@althealligator1467]

Not really

[@unnerving1081]

@@althealligator1467 nope, always always always. Of course there are situations where your choices are LIMITED. maybe even EXTREMELY limited. But there is no pathway in life that gets you stuck going in a single direction forever, cuz... thats logically impossible.

Facts

[@удивительный-б8х]

hey there julian, i read your story, it seems like the toughest part is already behind you, maybe you disagree, i'll tell you why i think that is the case, you probably were struggling with self worth when you first failed school and this motivated you to work the hardest you could which lead to your great achievement, which should have been enough to boost your self esteem, i'm not sure if it did though, i wrote that cause it felt like i went through something very similar, i'm 27 years old, but i did go through with it i graduated med school about 3 years ago and i'm a pediatrics resident, i'm still struggling, but i know my current situation is less stressful and depressing than it used to be before i went to med school, my struggles with self worth are improving slowly

[@Julian_Stories]

Hey, thank you so much for sharing this with me and for taking the time to read my story. Your insight about the self-worth struggles really hits home. It's really inspiring to hear about your journey through med school and now as a pediatrics resident. You make an interesting point about the toughest part being behind me. I would definitely agree that I don't have a major self-image crisis anymore, but it's still a gradual work in progress. The good news is I do feel like a lot of challenges now are less to do with self-esteem :) Overall, hearing that you've seen gradual improvement in your own struggles gives me hope! I appreciate it and wish you all the best with the rest of your training.

1:15 is the opposite of placebo: nocebo. But it's the same mechanism, just the other way around.

[@freelancernasrin-p8p]

Hello dear, I hope you are well. I saw your KZbin channel Julian . Your channel and video content are very good. Also, the thumbnail design is very attractive. But here are some problems: 1.SEO score is very low 2. No title description-tags SEO friendly 3. Not sharing on social media platforms and your KZbin channel is a lot of Trouble As a result views, likes and secre not increasing Benefits of 100% SEO score 1.Views will increase 2/ Likes will increase 3 Customers will increase 4/ Viewing time will increase 5 Business Increase 6.Audience will increase 7.Sales will increase So, if you want your channel to increase subscribers, views, Tee and comments with proper video SEO, Google ads and monetization. It decision be your right Do you want to increase your SEO score I am waiting for your response Regards,freelancer nasrin

[@hosobunny]

he just wanted to tell something not like corporate stuff and he has stated that his goal is not to get subscribers or views

[@me-kp1jy]

But wouldn't it be nicer if more people were able to see and benefit from it?​@@hosobunny

[@Julian_Stories]

Appreciate it, spot on @hosobunny :) And for sure, I would like my videos to be seen by more people, that's why I spend more time getting better at storytelling and thinking of valuable ideas to share with you. (But my goal is NOT to optimise some SEO bs or add a few tags)
