 What's up guys? Isaac here, and I want to make this video real quick in response to a comment that one of my subscribers made and This subscribers said that he understands that we shouldn't worry about things that are out of our control We shouldn't worry about it. He understands that from a logical perspective But he wants more practical ways of dealing with it. And this is important because many people Failed to understand that understanding something from a logical perspective is only one element of complete understanding It's only a fraction to a bigger element is the emotional aspect of understanding for example everyone logically understands that smoking is bad for you and yet there's Millions possibly billions of people that smoke Everyone understands that eating junk foods bad for you Yet everyone eats junk food everyone understands that kale shakes are really good for you But how many people have kale shakes logical understanding is only a small element The emotional aspect is more important. So in regards to worrying about things that you can't control You're dealing with an elusive enemy of our friend. You're dealing with thought and The reason I say thought is elusive is because thought is not completely Conscious You always hear the example of if I tell you think about pink elephant. What do you think of pink elephant? Now was that conscious? Probably not you probably didn't do it consciously. It just happens So when you're dealing with thought you have to understand that you're not gonna completely get rid of the worry You're not gonna completely get rid of the worrying thought However, there is some good news. You can't diminish a strength to the point of it being irrelevant Imagine a fly as being the thought You can get to the point where the fly is so Miniscule and so small You don't even bother hitting the way. It's you don't even notice it is there but Doesn't doesn't mess with what you're doing. So that's what you do with thoughts and worrying and the way you deal with this is you have to Cultivate a greater level of mindfulness of awareness so Let me give you an example to really Paint my pick paint a picture here. Let's say that you're insecure about your height let's say you're someone who's maybe five five and Your heights and big insecurity of yours for the past few years ever since you've been an adult Let's say you're going out with the boys Some of your friends are six feet six four and you're going out to the club to talk to some chicks, right? Let's say you see one that you want to talk to you, but she's told you and now The insecurity start hitting you start worrying about something you can't control for this particular example your height So how do you deal with this? Well, it's a before you need to go into your body. You need to become more mindful so you can start feeling your hands Start feeling your legs The sensation of your feet to the ground you can start looking around the room Noticing all the small details of the room focusing on your breath Focusing on your heartbeat focusing on anything Anything else besides the thought Because whatever you focus on that's where your energy is gonna go and we all know the first law of thermodynamics, don't we? Well, I do have a freaking thermodynamics textbook over here the conservation of energy energy cannot be created. No destroyed You can only transfer it so transfer the energy from being stuck in your head to go into your body And you diminish the strength of the thought I know it sounds very esoteric Sounds very wishy-washy hippie, but this is the practical ways of dealing with it This is how I've dealt with it because I too have worried about things I can't control I remember when I was younger I used to worry I used to always have a thought Whenever my parents left me whenever my parents went to the shop, so I was I don't know why but always I thought that oh What if they die today today's the day they're gonna die Which of course is a terrible thought to have when you're a kid But as I start growing up Whenever this thought popped up in my head start using these methods of focusing on something else Whether it be the video games I'm playing whether it be my breath my walking Putting energy into something else and the thought strength diminish it was still there by diminish and if you do this frequently enough Your brain Starts to disregard the thought altogether. It's like all that thought again or the insecurity get forget about it Don't worry about being five foot and this isn't only applicable to of course height This is for anything that you might be worrying about the conco you can't control Maybe a job interview and you're not sure if you did well or if you totally blew it and you have to wait three weeks for the results or something It's not your brain. I was going off. Did you do well? Did you pass? Did you do shit? Something you can't control. It's already been done You can go into your body focus on your breath focus on your senses your senses you've been given and trust me The wiring will go a diminish So that's a practical way of dealing with worry Especially worrying about things that you can't control, right?
