How to Become Less Dependent on the World and Others to Feel Safe and Secure 🌍👇
In this video, I share my journey towards self-reliance and inner peace. It’s not just about hoping for the best; it’s about actively growing my spiritual life and engaging in esteem-building activities. True self-esteem comes from within, not from external validation.

Let's talk about grasping the world as it actually is 🌎 How does my spiritual, mental, and physical health impact my nervous system? If I'm in poor health - spiritual, mental, or physical - any threat I feel is going to put me in fight-or-flight mode. ✈️ When that portion of my brain is activated, it turns off part of my prefrontal cortex and limits my ability to do higher thinking. 🧠 But takin...
Trying to Stop Sleepwalking Through Life

Check out my website at www.BigCoolLife.com for more information or to set up a free Zoom call. Let's talk about sleepwalking through life and self-actualization. If I'm coming from a place where nothing is feeding me spiritually, there's no way I can get to the higher stuff - I don't have the resources for it. I think the desire to be my best self - for us to be our best selves - is built into...

There are no happy endings? Well, I don't know if I agree with that. There can be sadness, and I can still be ok. Share with someone who is going to be ok through their grief ❤️🩹
Everything Takes too Goddamn Long

What changes and challenges are you experiencing in your life right now? I have to remind myself that things take time. Sometimes I have to really dig into my plan. I have to look at where I want to end up, and then work my way back to today so that I know what the gameplan is day in and day out. I also have to give myself credit for each thing as I go along, so I don't give up. For me, staying...
Just Letting People Be People

When I maintain my spiritual health, I can move through the world a little bit more smoothly. I don't have to like what everyone is doing all of the time, but I get to view them as people and be more understanding of where they're coming from. Check out www.bigcoollife.com for more.

Connection and the Importance of People
Просмотров 302 месяца назад
Connection and the importance of people 🏘️ The more spiritually disconnected I become, the less connected I feel to you. All of these things that used to feed us can start to fall away unless we actively work to be a part of our community. It's hard to get out there and reconnect. After the pandemic, it was easier to stay disconnected. I have to try to get back out there and reconnect with my c...

Monkey Mind VS Spiritual Mind! It doesn't have to outside my control
Love the episode. I think at its very core being a performing musician is the definition of needing the approval of others. Its hard to break free of that and not be angry or disappointed when you don't get it. Thanks for another great message!
Great Stuff! Keep up the good work.
That's exactly what I'm doing today. Thanks
Thanks Chris. 😊 Connection is key.
Love this page!
So true!
I thank you for making the effort to make this video for us to try and learn. The bible is also a very good learning book and I remembered a scripture from it when I was wathcing this video, "Every good and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the celestial lights, who does not vary or change like the shifting shadows." I just thought this was a nice scripture of God telling us that everything in our lives that is good, is from the one true God through his Son Jesus Christ.
Brilliant.
This is a fantastic video and a great perspective. I agree; acceptance is just that acknowledgment of reality as it is. That piece about confusing it with "endurance" is so sneakily true. Oftentimes, I mix these two together or add the endurance part into this process of acceptance. But then, I remember times when I turned to something scary, accepted it for what it was, and in that, I gained all the agency in the world to do whatever it was I had to do and the "endurance" part never even needed to enter the picture. This is great, Chris. I'm glad you exist, I'm glad that you make these videos, and I'm glad that we got to know each other in this life. Have a good Tuesday.
I got no idea where it's headed, but I'm trying to enjoy the ride!
Thanks Chris! I'm having a better than I was a few minutes ago.
Dude I needed that thank you
Man I'm still struggling as well. I get anxious when I agree to some in person event. I have cancelled a few, but when I do show up I almost always end up being really glad I pushed through the fear and spent time with people I love in the real world.
I'm with you man. Somebody told me once that pessimism is a self fulfilling prophesy. I think optimism is the same way.
Thank you, Chris !! just what I needed ! Having a tuff day today with anxiety/depression and this helped pick me up Working on my “Right here , Right now “ Much LOve and thank you again 💜
Thank you
One of my favorite lyrics is anger is a gift by Zack D La Rocha from RATM , but I still agree with 100 percent . Great vid .

This is what I needed to hear at this moment. Shared experiences are truly what we are missing.
Spot on! Going on a hour walk with a friend is a great way for me to stay spiritually fed. I have a few people that i do this with and would do it everyday if possibly.☺️
Chris. This month seems to be the worse so far. It is so odd that I caught this video. I've been feeling bad.
I’ve been going to the dog park & visiting with other dog owners.
Thank you for the new video! Outside conversations with our friends at a distance has been a life saver during these days for my husband and I. Keep making your videos. They are making a difference.
inspiring
Thanks, Chris.
THIS!!!
Thank you for these videos, Chris. But thank you for this one in particular. It was exactly what I needed to hear right now.
Love this one. My intuitive thought is always the best, but I don’t alway listen to that voice. I need to take more of this contrary action!
I love this. Thanks. I too would rather be happy than right. What a great way explaining this, Chirs. Glad to know you and KEEP THESE COMING!!!
I appreciate you putting this into words, man. And giving me some perspective.
Oh boy, how this resonates. And to think we are only 3-4 months into this. It is so incredibly difficult to not have our little patterns that get us through our day. Like it or not, we are being forced to be present in the moment, to be here now. To get comfortable being horribly uncomfortable. And realizing there is no going back to "normal". Our entire consciousness is changing and we have to adapt somehow. You are right, Chris. We absolutely must embrace "not knowing".
hey chris...good job on the videos,your nailing it...hey are the alumnie meetings going again at the ranch?
thanks chris,since i left the ranch i have missed going to your group....keep it up bro!
So valid right now. Thanks Chris
Your voice brings so much peace and hope. I remember hating life and hating myself for being in treatment then I’d walk in to your class and just be filled with hope and compassion for myself. Thank you for these videos!
That is spot on! #bigcoollife
This came at such a perfect time! Thanks Chris, your voice is so soothing to me.
I love seeing you and hearing you! Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s good salve for the soul. 💙
Thank you, Chris. My anxiety has been in overdrive lately, due to the world. Your words bring comfort. Stay safe.
Thanks for this. You really, really nailed it. Peace.
Hey, Chris.
