Nature’s Highlights:

You are traumatized:

No matter who you are, where you were born, or when you were born,

You have been traumatized, in one way or another.

But 90% of the people you’ll ever meet don’t even realize that.

Traumas, especially ones we suffered in our childhood,

Control every single aspect of our lives, influencing them without us even noticing.

No matter if your trauma isn’t “socially accepted” or deemed “worthy” of a traumatic event,

It can still hold massive sway over your life.

Because a baby doesn’t care if what happens to him is considered ‘trauma’ or not.

He just suffers what happens to him.

No matter who you are, or what happened to you,

You have to know this:

You’re still blaming yourself for everything you suffered as a child.

It took me 9 years after my father’s death to come to that conclusion.

•I was blaming myself for his death.

•I was blaming myself for my sister’s runaway from home

•I was blaming myself for every death that I have seen as a child.

Children are extremely egocentric creatures.

They’re treated like kings, and they start believing they deserve that for the rest of their lives.

They’re treated like shit, or hit by circumstance, and they start believing it is THEIR fault.

Just like I thought it was mine…

I’m going to ask you one question, and I want you to think this through:

Who has control over your mind?

•How much of it is trauma?

•How much of it are your childhood scars?

•How much of it are decisions OTHERS made for you?

My mom told me last night about why she doesn’t like a certain aspect of her body.

You know what the reason was?

My grandma always used to criticise her for it.

That’s where 99% of her insecurities come from.

It’s nothing that she did,

And nothing that she thought on her own.

But still, even 50 years later,

She is still scarred and controlled by those traumas.

You can either live your life mindlessly, making decisions for God knows what reason,

Or you can take your mind (and consequently, your life) into your own hands,

And start diving deeper into this shit.

People tell me psychology is too much wishi-washi, and it’s hard to put it into actionable steps.

Well, you want practical advice? Here it is:

Once per week, go into a quiet room (or sit on a bench in nature)

And go back to your childhood.

Understand what that child has felt.

Where his scars are, and who caused them.

I can’t do 1 on 1 coaching with every one of you,

But this is the best way you can help yourself.

I’m not asking for a lot,

I just want to see you working on yourself.

And, in return, you’re getting the whole world at your fingertips.

Because, once you’re able to understand your mind,

You’re able to help your mind.

For years on end,

I’ve had these ‘panic attacks’ that scared the shit out of me every time,

I felt like everything around me was fading away,

Like nothing was real,

And like I just wanted to throw up.

And I had no idea what was causing them.

UNTIL I started meditating on these things, on my past.

And I realized what my mind was trying to tell me.

‘You never let out your emotions. So I’m trying to let them out for you’

I was trying to vomit,

Because it was the only way for me to express my feelings.

I suffered, for YEARS, because I didn’t understand my mind.

So please, don’t let it do the same to you anymore.

You don’t need much to change your life forever.

Just start asking yourself, daily:

“Why am I like this? What made me become who I am? How did my childhood impact me?”

Once you find the answer to these questions,

I promise you,

You’ll barely recognize the amazing version you’ll have become.

TL;DR:

Doing a 180 on your life is as easy as doing the following:

1.Go out in nature (or a quiet place)

2.Turn off all electronics

3.Think about your past

Change is easy when we’re determined to do it.
