I've got to stop taking life so seriously.

I know every time I'm feeling stressed out, overwhelmed, fearful, whatever it is,

I'm too identified with myself.

I'm taking everything too seriously.

Life, this whole play that we're living in, because that's really what it is.

It's just this temporary play that we're all part of.

And when we get so identified with it, we lose touch with truth.

The truth of who we are, the actual nature of our reality, all of it.

And it all comes back to just being aware and conscious of ourselves.

Really It all starts within ourselves That's where you regulate yourself

That's where you become aware of thoughts the emotions the beliefs that once gripped you and

You identified so closely with that dictated your internal state of being

it all starts with awareness the quality of our lives begins with the quality of our consciousness

and as I said if I speak for my own experience anytime I've been anything but at peace

I am usually just overly identified and attached to something

that isn't me and when I say me I don't mean the labels

and the concepts that have made up my identity it's the I am before

that identity it's just the awareness the conscious awareness

that each of us is at our core

and you don't have to go anywhere to experience it it's

already here it's already within you you just have to slow down you just have to breathe

and regulate a lot of people ask me well how do

you regulate your nervous system how do you start you start by no longer reacting to the dysregulated patterns

that are controlling you it's easier said than done I understand

that but I give an analogy once in another video

and your nervous system think of it like the wheel of fortune you know how you have

that big wheel and if you want it to spin really fast, at first it's still and if you spin it, you've got to grip it and you rip it down

and spinning and then you tap it and then it keeps it spinning really fast.

That's like our nervous system.

When we're dysregulated, it's like that wheel spinning really fast.

How do you get that wheel to slow down?

You can try and interfere with it by trying to force it to stop,

but I don't know, maybe you'd hurt your finger if you did that, But if you just stopped and observed the wheel spinning,

or just watched it, without trying to interfere with it, eventually it slows down on its own.

Same is true with us.

When we become slow down, whatever we're doing, and become aware of ourselves,

you come back into balance within yourself.

Maybe not immediately.

I think we're so used to things needing to happen right away.

And if they don't, then it doesn't seem worth our time

because we've trained our minds to just need the instant hit of dopamine to,

you know, not be able to hold our focus on something for more than 10 seconds.

And again, I know what it's like.

I know what it's like to be on social media apps and scroll from real to real.

I see the impacts on myself, But I've realized the way out of it is exactly what I'm saying.

It's to slow down and to just stop and be aware.

Be aware of the discomfort of trying to be aware.

Noticing your mind's chaos and your emotions and the urges, everything.

Because when you can stop and become aware of those things, that's like you watching the wheel rather than tapping the wheel to make it go faster,

continue spinning as long as we react to our thoughts

and emotions and the patterns and the story we're just going to strengthen

that story we're going to strengthen those patterns we're going to

strengthen the dysregulation it it seems like it works in the

moment it seems like reacting to those fear-based patterns is is a good thing because it soothes you in the moment but

just because an addict chooses to do drugs again

or whatever it is because they're going through a withdrawal doesn't mean

that it's the best thing for them in the long run it's just soothing them It's coping.

Same is true with us in many ways.

When we are identified and attached to these things that we think are us but aren't actually,

that's when we react.

That's when we take life very seriously.

And you don't have to.

it's a it is it is a fight-or-flight response you know i get it you know a lot of times

when i say this people like oh well i need to make money

and stuff i get it yeah money's important i'm not denying

that but when we put the external world before our own connection to truth

we lose ourselves

that is where you start to have a drop in your inner well-being your overall quality of life

because as I said the quality of our lives begins with what's going on in here

and in here not necessarily what you have outside of you it's definitely part of it

but once you have your basic needs covered everything else after

that is your mind and your emotions telling you

that you need more I don't know what it's like I know it's like to buy nice things

or have things that you want to buy and you know they're they're great

for a bit but it goes away the the feeling goes away doesn't last forever

That's why they say money can't buy happiness.

It buys comfort.

It can buy you time.

Which is important.

Time is life.

It's the currency of life.

Time.

You only have a finite amount of it.

You can have all the money in the world, but if you're on your deathbed, it doesn't really matter.

So, how do you make the most out of your time?

Out of this moment right now?

What I've realized, it's by going deeper into the moment,

by being present, by observing, by being aware of ourselves, and by being regulated.

Because having a regulated nervous system and being aware within ourselves is priceless.

To me, I think it's priceless.

That is where you find the wellspring of wisdom and truth and peace all within yourself.

You don't have to go anywhere to get it.

You don't have to read another book or listen to another podcast.

I can't really explain it, but when you practice this stillness,

you realize that it holds everything.

There's nothing that money could buy that could give you this or replace this because

You're connecting with the truth of who you are.

And nothing in this external world could give you that.

I think, anyways.

100

Now, maybe my experience of life will show me otherwise in the future, but up until this point, that's what I realized.

101

Peace is within.

102

And awareness is always right here.

103

Therefore, you always have access to peace.

104

It doesn't mean you're going to be happy necessarily or that the pain that you experience will just vanish.

105

I think it's part of the human experience that we have those emotions.

106

The happiness, the joy, the sadness, the anger, the frustration, all of it.

107

It's all part of being human.

108

But again, when we take ourselves so seriously and life so seriously,

109

and we identify with this dream that we're all in right now, that's where it becomes very difficult.

110

And it doesn't mean that you necessarily have to renounce your participation in this dream, as I call it, in the worldly play.

111

No, it's are you able to be in the world but not of it?

112

Are you able to participate, take on your duties as a parent,

113

a sibling, a friend, a spouse, whatever your career is?

114

But realize, as Alan Watts said, that it's play.

115

We get to be humans for this short period of time, this blip in time.

116

And quite often we miss out on the truth that that is the gift in being here.

117

I think it was Neil Tyson DeGrasse

118

that said something about how the likelihood of you being born is

119

so astronomically small that really that's why it is the gift.

120

and yet we go through life

121

always losing sight of that and not only losing sight of that but losing sight of our connection to something greater, really.

122

Again, we go through life so identified with our conditioned mind and it convinces us that we need more.

123

we need to chase

124

we constantly need to be striving

125

because if we aren't we're not going to have enough

126

but it's not until you loosen your grip on life that you realize that things have a way of working out

127

without you needing to try and force them to work out and again that's where that's where the real power is.

128

Power isn't in forcing.

129

Think about boxing, for example, or sprinters.

130

I don't know if you know much about either of those sports

131

but i used to be a sprinter and the people

132

that could sprint the fastest weren't the ones who were clenching their muscles the hardest they're the ones

133

that could relax that could

134

if you look at like a slow motion video of world-class sprinters their faces are so relaxed when they're sprinting,

135

yet they have this tremendous power that they can exert into the ground and spring them forward.

136

Boxers, boxers don't try to hit hard, they're relaxed and that gives them their speed.

137

The harder we try, the more resistance we create,

138

the more friction we create.

139

But when we're so dysregulated and living from this fight-or-flight response within ourselves, we feel like we have to try,

140

we have to strive, we have to force things.

141

It's like taking the long way around.

142

It's like swimming upstream when you could go with the flow.

143

The conscious mind

144

understands how to go with the flow

145

and let go of the need to force to be connected to truly be connected to God or life the universe

146

number of terms for the same thing really I think but if you can connect with that, a person could learn to connect with that,

147

they'd realize that that is the real, that's where the real fulfillment in life comes from.

148

There's nothing that could fill that space within your own soul except for that, connecting with it.

149

It's like trying to plug the wrong outlet into a light socket, it doesn't fit.

150

You're not going to get that electrical current you're not going to get

151

that connection a lot of times we try to fill a void

152

or fill a piece within ourselves with material wealth material possessions people relationships when it could only be filled

153

on a spiritual level, I think.

154

And it all starts with awareness.

155

It all starts with stillness.

156

As Rumi said, the quieter you become, the more you can hear.

157

Like I said, you don't have to go anywhere.

158

It's always right here, right now.

159

And when you can touch base with that, When you can have that as the foundation for your existence, the way you live your life,

160

interesting things start to happen.

161

You start to feel different in everyday life, but you start to attract different.

162

As you change this, the external changes.

163

because it's an extension of you.

164

Your external reality is an extension of your mind and your state of consciousness.

165

So, you could have two people walking into the same room and have two completely different experiences.

166

So, it starts with you.

167

The quality of your life begins with the quality of your consciousness.

168

Don't take life so seriously.

169

I hope this video helps and I'll see you in the next one.

FOR YOU

Ситуация: Как перестать принимать жизнь слишком серьезно

В видео рассказывается о том, как стресс, перегрузка и страх возникают из-за чрезмерной идентификации с собой. Автор сравнивает жизнь с временной пьесой, и чтобы найти покой, нужно вернуться к самосознанию. Это реальная сцена, с которой сталкивается каждый: мы погружаемся в мысли и эмоции, забывая о настоящем. Разговор простой, но глубокий, что делает его отличным материалом для практики shadowing английский.

Полезные выражения и словосочетания

To be stressed out — быть перегруженным стрессом. Пример: "Every time I'm feeling stressed out, I'm too identified with myself."

Ваше задание на shadowing

Для практики shadowspeak выберите отрывок из видео длиной 30 секунд (например, про сравнение нервной системы с колесом фортуны). Сначала прослушайте его несколько раз, запомните интонацию и ритм. Затем включите запись и повторяйте после автора синхронно, стараясь копировать его темп и эмоциональную окраску. Это поможет улучшить ваше произношение и чувство языка. Если вы ищете больше материалов, используйте shadowing site или учите английский по видео — такой подход эффективнее, чем пассивное прослушивание. Памятите: цель shadow speech — не просто повторять, а чувствовать речь как собственную.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
