A lot of the times for self-improvement, you can actually make a lot of progress by doing
simple things like meditating, exercises, eating healthy, all these things.
But after a while, you start to get like plateaued.
Start to get in a rut.
So how do you get out of that?
I was actually in that similar situation where I was doing all the things, but I just kind
of wasn't really improving that much anymore.
Not nearly as much as I was before.
These habits were not as effective.
And what I did, it's actually very surprising.
I identified my past.
I literally started thinking a lot about my childhood and started identifying all the deep,
dark moments, all the moments that I was too embarrassed to even share with anyone.
So I identified those moments.
And you know what I did?
I shared it with people.
I shared it with my parents and I shared it with my friend.
So that is exactly what you might want to do.
If you're in a very, like if you've done a lot of progress, you've completely changed
your life.
Like you used to be in the dark pit, but now you're in like this, like completely different
area.
You're a new person now.
Yet your past self is holding you back.
It's kind of like trying to pull you and it's kind of like, so let's say your past self
is right here.
And then you walk down and your past self is still right there, but you are actually
like moving forward in life.
But then like, it's kind of like a resistance band.
So imagine you're attached to your past self with a resistance band and it's tied to each
other.
So and your past self stays in the same spot because it's the past.
The past doesn't change or does it?
I don't know.
And so you can like literally go super fast right away, but then it starts to get way
slower until eventually you simply just cannot move until you cut ties, cut ties with your
past self.
Because look, this resistance band right here is holding you back.
It's literally holding you back.
It's making you go slower.
All of this growth that you made shows that you're a completely different person.
You're right here and then this past self is right there.
Completely different people.
You have literally like right now, when you were your past self, you were your past self.
So you can't really cut the ties.
But then you start to change and grow and improve, now you're a different person.
Now it's time to cut ties, cut loose and get rid of like all of that stuff.
And the way you do that is literally therapy.
Like I didn't go to therapy, but I did like therapy for myself.
You literally have to sit in your room, close all of the, like get rid of everything.
Literally just sit in there with your thoughts and figure out, identify all of your darkest,
most embarrassing moments that you're most ashamed of, most disgust of, that you don't
even want to share with anybody.
Much less share with yourself.
These are the moments that you have been burying your entire life, just pushing back into a
deep dark corner of your mind.
Well, it's time to bring those up and actually conquer them because they have been, those
memories are the resistance band, literally the resistance band.
And you've been pushing it away this whole time.
Me too.
And then all you have to do is literally identify all the most embarrassing moments you do not
want to share with anyone, not a soul.
And then you confront them, you literally just think about it and then you share it with
someone.
The people to share with it, actually not the easiest, the most difficult people to
share with are the ones you should share with, which are your parents or whoever is involved.
So that's something.
Just, tea for thought.
