Many years ago when my son was young I came to understand to relax when I found myself going into the tunnel of worry many as you say in the video. I began to practice awareness and then shifted my brain to a favorite scripture as nd meditated on that. My brain couldn’t handle both thoughts. Gradually my mind began to be renewed and the anxiety became much less and I had more peace.
I read somewhere that the marshmallow study's results were misinterpreted: the differences in willpower/self-control in the children was actually due to differences in socioeconomic class. The kids who could wait for additional marshmallows came from more abundant backgrounds and therefore weren't operating under "scarcity mindset" ("I gotta eat the marshmallow I have now, because I'm not used to trusting that there will be more later.") Can you confirm/comment on this interpretation in a future video perhaps?
I am so relieved that you said that our thoughts are not subconscious yearnings..! Religious leaders NEED to STOP telling people that having a bad, evil, negative, desirous thoughts doesn't make you evil .I have thought this all of my life and was ashamed when violent, sexual or revenge thoughts entered my mind.. I DID not want to fulfill them ! Some were opposite of who I am and what I want. But was told over and over that these subconscious thoughts were JUST As BAD as doing them/acting them out and therefore Satan has a hold on me or that I am a bad person. SO many times I get disturbing thoughts come out of seemingly no where and I feel shame and wonder If i am a bad or insane person. I Will work on challenging these unwanted thoughts with your words. God Bless you Tim.
I've been watching you everyday since the Theo Von podcast. I'm a 41 year old pipefitter that just enrolled into college for psychology. I'd rather meet you than Jordan Peterson
