Today’s episode is all about regret and pain that comes from it. Don’t shy away now; you know you are already thinking of some few regrets of your lifetime. Well, don’t worry, cause you are not alone. Every single person has regretted something in their life or due to their actions that have led to either one of these pain: Pain of Discipline or Pain of Inactions
All of us have the common understanding that decision that we make right now will affect your future and yet we allow to fuck it up every time. Why do we not follow our dreams and regret it later? Think about that once in a lifetime experience that you missed because of some lame excuse you made and now you regret from not doing it. Maybe it’s an experience you missed of staying on campus during your college years. Maybe it’s your first love that you never got courage to ask out. Or maybe it’s the exotic wildlife safari experience that your friends were enjoying while you were working 9 to 5 in your 3 x 3 cubicle. Have you followed your heart and made the decision rather than your ability of inactions, would you have appreciated the event better now?
We will find any excuse to help other follow their dreams but ours. We will break our back and work 9 to 5 or even put in 80 hours a week just to make a buck while your boss makes millions. Bigger question is what are you setting yourself up for? What are the past mistakes that you are seeing the results now? What can you do to change them? Because if past has taught us anything is that no action is still hurting you and will continue to hurt until you let it so.
Welcome back, listeners!
365 days, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes, 31,536,000 seconds in a year….how much of that are you proactive? How much of that time do you spend on escaping from your dreams, work, life, relationship? It’s an interesting question that isn’t very simple, because in reality escapism can be interfered as multiple ways, but is it good or is it bad? In today’s episode, GYST crew came to the conclusion that positive escapism = Help us Challenge and negative escapism = Kill time.
We often find ways to escape from our real words. It could be reading a book, cleaning the house, working on your car, doing drugs, drinking every night, but the question is why do you do that and how does it affect you? Is it stress relief or mind-numbing? Is this your lifestyle? Is it affecting other areas of your life? You only have 24 hours in life and if you are using it to kill time, then what are you doing with your life? Often people get into this rhythm of doing something as a stress relief, but you end up repeating so much that it becomes a norm. An action that was once a positive escapism turns to negative escapism and you don’t even realize it! It only takes little changes till it becomes subconsciously permanent and we need to apply the same rule again if we want to turn negative escapism to positive escapism.
Join into today’s episode to find out what GYST crew is doing to turning their negative escapism around and get their SHIT together!
It seems such a long time ago when Rohit approached me about joining the GYST crew, but I guess that’s prone to happen when you are so deep into investing in yourself that it feels like an eternity but, it’s been only sometimes.
Over the past year, I have learned an incredible amount of knowledge and improved myself in so many ways that I could have never imagined doing so before. I have learned to manage my time better, prioritize, improve a relationship and just so many other little quirks that you might not notice but it’s ok because no matter how big or small of an effort I am making, it’s a step toward progress.
Investing in yourself doesn’t mean spending money on yourself, but instead finding ways to cherish and celebrate yourself along with taking steps to improving yourself. It’s what you do for yourself along with the people that are around you that matters. Are you bringing joy or are you bringing toxic? If you are bringing toxic, then guess what? It’s ok. That’s why you are here to GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER! Find that toxic and make a little change to improve that. It doesn’t matter if it’s fixing the broken and twisted relationship or setting a goal to read 1 book in 6 months. It’s what you do to improve yourself is what matters and no one else can be a judge of that, but yourself.
A lot of people fear changes which come with hand to hand with investing in yourself because that means changing for better but staying true to yourself. Humans have been on this planet for millions of years, we are here now because of the improvement of our past. We wouldn’t be here without the accomplishments of our ancestors. We must apply the same terminology in our personal lives if we want to make a difference and if not for the world, then for our family and closed ones.
It has been an adventure to see all the changes, but I wouldn’t change it for anything. I am glad to be making these changes and applying it to my daily life. Question is, do you want to get your shit together?
Fear. It’s such a simple term yet such complicated subject, since not only it can affect you physically, but it can seriously mess you up in your head! In today’s episode, Glen and Kyle share how they have been affected by fear and how they have gotten their shit together and learned to conquer their fears, but before we get into that, we must truly understand what is fear and where it really drives from?
Fear is something that can lead to life or death situation based on traumas and bad experiences, but as crazy as it sounds the best way to get over is by moving those experience. Fear is explained based on physical hurt, but, fear can take many shapes and forms. It can take shape in fight or feat, fear of memory, fear of failure, fear of progress, name YOUR fear and it will appear. Question is, how do YOU move past it? Every single person is different. Every single person has their own experience and each moment can lead to a different type of fear in each person. It’s how we overcome and move on with our life is what’s most important.
One of my biggest fear was getting behind the wheel after getting into a life-threatening accident. It’s not the fear of getting behind the wheel, but it’s the fear of knowing that this is possible at any second and with a split second your life can be over. Knowing that my life can be over at any moment when I am on the road. The worst thing is it can be out of my hands. It takes an even bigger toll on my mental health when I must relive that moment by driving on that same road every single day. I can take alternative routes and avoid that road, but is it really helping me conquer my fears or run the other way? Is it easy? Fuck no. Is it scary to drive through that road every day? You betcha. Do I feel like I am conquering my fears? Every single moment I drive through that because if I didn’t and took alternative route every day I would be running away from my fears.
You see the wonderful part of life and growing up is going through different stages of fear. We wouldn’t be where we are without fear. With fear, you learn to push yourself to beyond your limit and break through whatever brings you down. You must learn to trick your beliefs and mind to NOT stop you from achieving what you want. Most people will avoid anything that they fear like a plague, but look deeper and ask yourself if this fear is holding you back or helping you move your life forward?
Welcome back, listeners!
During my 28+ years of my life, I have run into few people who have been living with depression for a long time. These people have been going day by day feeling depressed at most times and honestly, just living like a Zombie. I have known people who have been let go from their place of employment because they stopped coming to work and giving a shit about themselves or anyone close to them. Heck, they even stopped coming out of their room! Even though I have seen people live like this every day, there was always a part of me that always wondered is it even real? It always baffled me because I could NEVER understand why would anyone want to be at this stage? Why would you be so drowned in your sad thoughts that you are now making the environment toxic? Why don’t you just man the fuck up and just get over it?
It wasn’t until recently when I went through a life-threatening car accident where I was lucky to be alive and walk away without a scratch. I might not have any physical indication that I wasn’t hurt, but oh boy was I messed up mentally. This is when I realized that depression isn’t physical, but emotional and mental. What’s even more fucked up, which in reality is just a cruel humor of life, is that NO ONE can help you like you can help yourself. Quickly, I came to the realization that if I don’t work on my mental health and start moving on I will never get back up. If I don’t move past this, then I will keep spinning in the Depression world like a sports car stuck on a beach (don’t laugh yes, it did happen to me).
I believe that’s one of the biggest pieces – overcoming your emotional and mental state. This doesn’t sound very challenging, but the fact is not one person can control other person’s emotional or mental state. You have to work on it yourself just like going to the gym if you want to get better. For some people, it might be really easy. For some people, it’s the toughest thing in their life. There is no right or wrong way of doing this. You have to work on yourself to improve your life every day. Even if it’s a small improvement, it’s a small progress toward beating depression.
In today’s episode, one of our podcast members is getting their shit together by opening up on air and truly sharing what it’s like living with depression. These are real thoughts, real emotions, real tears, and real depression. This was a shock to me because I knew that my best friend was unhappy and given the circumstances I understand, but I never knew that he was living in depression. It is shocking to see my best friend go through this, but should I really be? A study shows that depression has become #2 reason impacting our health, but by 2030 this will be #1 cause of loss of longevity of life.
Join in and listen to today’s episode as Amit shares how it’s like living with depression to Kyle to not only help himself but to also give a blink of hope for all the people out there who want to Get Their Shit Together.
