''You are an adult''... That hurts. I want to be, so bad, but i don't know how to be one. I feel like i have a late-brain. Always 30 miles late from everyone, lost in my imagination to cope with reality. I have faith in human kind, but sometimes it's so freaking hard. And what about loneliness. Teal, when you said that we feel more alone when we are surrounded by people, that is so true. Thanks for everything, and more. x
I somewhat feel like that too, maybe its a good thing to be the last to speal sometimes, it may be a blessing in disguise. People call me a man because of the way I look amd while I agree that I'm a young man. There's a lot for me to learn and do. Im 20 but I still feel like a child because I live with my Mom. I get it on the outside looking in someone could say, that's normal. But for me its not a place I want to stay in. On one end I feel like a child but on the other I want to be on my own building a great future.
@@OPTIMUMELITE stay at home, work. Save most of your money, go out into the world with a big chunk of change to put down on your own place. Screw what people think about millennials living at home. I know a guy who is 35 that moved back home at 30. He now has three rental properties and is rolling in the money. He will be able to retire at 50. Don't listen to people, they seem to steer us wrong all of the time. The older gen do not get it, they think college is still easily affordable and that owning a home is simple and that all jobs pay close to six figures a year. I should have stayed at home longer and saved my money. My parents are sweet people and they would have loved to have me and I didn't mind living with them. If you have parents to help you and they don't mind having you at home, use the opportunity to save. Many people don't have that luxury.
I used to feel this way too. I’m 29 years old now. It wasn’t until a few years ago I started looking into sacred/divine femininity. After being fed up with feeling like a child/being perceived by one by my family I decided to figure out what it actually meant to be an adult woman. I discovered that in our modern society we no longer have “coming of age” signals/rituals like there used to be in the past, which makes it difficult to understand WHEN you have actually made that transition into adulthood. If you’re interested, look up Jonita D’Souza on RUclips, I discovered her through this search and she has changed my life. Also, a quote I heard by Joan Didion struck me during this time too: “character-the willingness to accept responsibility for one’s own life, is the source from which self-respect springs.” Being an adult is about taking responsibility of your own life, and not letting others dictate your choices for you, with responsibility comes a sense of personal empowerment. I hope my story and findings can help in some way, I hope you discover what you’re looking for
I am from the 1995, and I feel that our generation has been built to perform for society like machines, instead of really getting to know ourselves ... We don't really know how to truly love other people, we bully introverted people at school. We don't really know what is depth of love, emotions etc...
I'm not going to tell you how to feel. But it's interesting hearing your perspective. Add almost 2 decades, and you'll have my age. How you're talking is how the Baby Boomers talk and started to shift. They saw their parents and themselves tap into the grind and work like machines. And they were the generation who started the personal growth movement and the more obsessive self-reflection. In my opinion, it's swung to the unhealthy side and the boomer needs are coming out of the mouths of their children's/grandchildren. It's not actually their children's needs. The younger generations seem to know to think of the group, globally... but they also seem very stuck in that self-obsessed, trying to find themselves cycle. When to achieve their goal of love, they should be having children... family is where the depth of love is especially learned, and being around people instead of isolated. I think that's why some of the younger generations' ideas around social justice don't stick... as they don't walk the talk... they talk about group change, while being individualistic. I have to think of my own generation though... when we were young, they also thought we were lazy or more that we didn't care. They called us the "whatever" generation. I don't really see Gen-Xers, that that panned out. We just don't get focused on very much these days. We're the in-betweeners.
@@dudeorduuude5211 ...family is where the depth of pain is especially (and specifically to the last precision) learned. More than 50 shades of pain to master. Crack on.
It's amazing how parents criticize their children's generation when THEY raised them. My dad does this all the time saying, "we gave you a great home, childhood, education, yada yada yada" yet did not prepare us AT ALL for life.
Depending on their age, they might have expected the education system to do that. My dad was Silent Generation and he graduated high school at the end of the Korean War. His grasp of curricula was out-of-date before I was even born and when I tried to tell him otherwise, he dismissed it because I was a kid and what did I know? I never even got an apology when he learned that he was wrong.
Boomers are renowned for not taking responsibility for anything, while expecting everyone to be responsible. They have no concept of what it’s like to come into adult life the way Gen-X, millennials, and subsequent generations are. They don’t want to recognize the blessing of the unearned inheritance from the previous generations they received, how little they actually had to work to get what they have today, how much they did not pass that inheritance onto the next generations, and how poorly they prepared their offspring for the mess they created. And then when you question their way of doing things and decide to do things differently, boomers criticize and get personally offended. As a generation, they have extraordinary fragile ego structures while simultaneously loving to criticize others as being weak, entitled, and lazy. Honestly, I think what you’re describing is projection and gaslighting based in anxiety and insecurity. Due to their general state of entitlement and emotional immaturity, many boomers don’t seem to know how to connect in intimacy and empathy. I think they know how ignorant they are and how much they’ve let future generations down, so take out their insecurities on their externalized egos, their kids. Many boomers had kids for egoic reasons. To make mini-mes that affirm “I’m awesome.” When we actually reflect the truth about their “awesome” parenting, they resent us for not being what their egos need us to be...
@Lynn T , I don't know which generation you identify with, but regardless of W,X,Y .. you are speaking the only truth. Resilience is something that cannot be tought through lectures or maturing, but something to be learn through practice and experience. In the end, we cannot control how others treat and percieve us, we can only work and control our actions and thoughts. I wish all parents and educators would get on board with this!!
Lynn T sorry but no. You are completely discounting factors (systemic factors) that were created by boomers for short term satisfaction that are currently destroying opportunities for generations that follow you. Boomer parents did not “give too much.” They did not give things like emotional intelligence, financial literacy, and other skills that are essential during our time. “Skills” learned in schools are not enough. Boomer parents expected a system (the educational system) to do the job of raising their kids and these are the results. You could thrive off of skills learned in home economic and 4-H. That is not enough for our generation. Millennials work extremely hard. How many side hustles did you have in your 20s and 30s just to make ends meet? How much school debt were you in when you graduated college? Did you have to choose between starting a family and paying down school debt? Were you scared to buy a house because you graduated into a recession with debt your parents told you would guarantee you a job to pay it down and a housing bubble (created by boomers and gen x btws) bursting? Boomer parents did not prepare their kids and now want to pass the blame. Millennials have been fighting tooth and nail our entire adult lives. I don’t know a single lazy, entitled millennial but I know plenty of boomers who found a way to thrive despite never having a budget, side hustle, and just a bachelors degree. This is not because your generation worked hard and millennials are not working hard. It is because you inherited one of the best economies in history. These are historical FACTS. Stop with the meritocracy bs. It has officially gotten old.
the part where she said "To heal is to experience the opposite" had me grab a pen and paper. I never do that with RUclips videos but this I had to bring deep within. I'm still working on that whole not "trying to avoid disappointment" thing. Still trying to accept that things don't have to be exactly as I want them at all times.
Christina Jackson - Yes, that was another gem in this video. After watching the first video, I have been waiting for this one...and it was so spot on...so many great truths in there.
Random Insights the human body is magnificent- We were trained to avoid discomfort and flee from uncomfortable truths- Sitting in ones not so perfect truths allow the body to process and then release them, learning from them not becoming the mistake
Man... I changed so many jobs, but at least I tried EVERYTHING I tried getting my hands dirty and I am proud of it, (quitting is my tripping 😂) the only thing that is my faithful friend is art and paint, I am proud I have not committed to no one and stayed alone, really proud couse I know sooner or later there will come time for phoenix to rise above all. Keep that in heart.
with just 20 years of work experience I think I have 30 jobs under my belt. Hahaha. Some of them I had for years though as I've fairly often had multiple jobs. The ones with unpredictable income gave me the most joy as they were closer to my true desires but my truest desire is to have a roof and health insurance so boring government job it is. Sigh. I am looking to changing this and going back to teaching music part-time along with other things. Gotta get back to me. I can't wait to leave my state job for something with more kindness.
Chicks like this the reason our generation is struggling. Would you hire this person? No. Why bring someone who complains constantly and blames everyone else because they aren't where they wanna be in life. TRUTH:Stop crying, start working, accept your responsibility to yourself, and move forward to change the world for better. The longer you believe in this self doubt and self degradation, the longer you'll wallow in your percieved self worthlessness. Just suck it up, move forward, make it better for the next generation.
The millennial generation has INTENSE amounts of creativity this society and school systems have tried to squash. However it will become our source of unlimited power once we stand up and bravely take responsibility for our lives. Go millennials! I love you all 💕
@Whole Healthy Happy hell yeah, sister! I faced that predicament too. A lot of my creativity has sexuality swirled into it too so there's yet another powerful part of me that feels caged. And I'm sure so many of us have felt this. Freedom vs. connection. Now I have that old tortilla commercial in my head: "why not both??"
So true. We have crazy powerful creativity. If we don’t take on an accusatory or resentful tone against the old system, our creativity is like wind that can take down the house of cards of the old way. It’s not the school systems fault; it just was never made for us. I bet if we connect with others like us our creativity will help strengthen our connections and vice versa, too.
I've been thinking the same. So many people I know (also from other generations) have so much amazing creative potential, but because the system of education and jobs has squashed that creativity it turns into anger and depression instead and makes people bitter. It's so sad to see as it is such a wasted potential. I still believe every one of those people is able to break free and unleash their creativity, but that's why we need a new world system that would allow this to happen, where those same people won't have their life depending on boring jobs that suck the life out of them.
A lot of millenials were about to complete some goals before the quarantine fucked everything up. I think we are past trying to thrive in this society. It isnt even about destroying a broken system. All we have to do is sit back and let it destroy its self.
Yea I wanted to make a change for the better in 2020 I started reading more books,found a job, quit procrastinating and then corona hit and I cant so anything I planned
"It doesn't happen, okay? It doesn't happen that a being ends up totally messed up if something didn't happen to them." I had to listen to this a dozen times to make it stick in my brain.
After such deep disappointment over and over and over, it's been really hard to pull myself up again, but I'm finally doing it. I've given up for the past few years and it just didn't work, it only made me feel more and more depressed. Thank you so much for your love and support, it has made a huge* difference in my life
When Teal asked "what do you really want?" my initial reaction was... "what does it matter what I want if I can't have it anyway?"... Man, there is a loong way to healing us millenials, but I appreciate the work that you do. Thank you for your videos from the bottom of my heart.
@@NandaBenetti is that really the only thing you love to do? there must be something else if not you haven't tried enough things and really had a look at what your naturally good at and trying to point that natural skill toward helping the world. That's what I'm trying to do and I don't care if I succeed or fail because it's what feels right to me and what I want to promote and see the world doing. be the change you want to see.
It is time. It’s time to make the new world. Time to heal our wounds, help heal those around us and raise the vibration. No more 2D or 3D. We are all one, those judging you is a part of you. Heal that part of you and make those others hold their own wounds.
I was born in 1973 but I very much connect with many aspects of the millennial generation. I’ve been doing basically what you advise in your video, but I constantly feel alone, as if I am alone trying to “push the ball up the hill”. It is hard to make others trust when they only see people as a threat. I’d love your comments. And thanks for the great work you do for all of us.
This literally hits everything! I've been so cynical for so long, until a few months ago where it was detrimental. Very few had me begin to smash the barriers of being a cynic. Thank you for this! Love it!
I did the meditation and saw myself on a beach just living a beach life smoking tons of weed and watching movies and just making piñatas to get by. I can actually even eat the piñata glue since it's flower and water... I realized that this is a direction I already am kind of moving towards, but I also realized that maybe it's not so bad. Maybe this is actually self realization... Imma be open, I used to believe I wanna make movies and inspire people... But never has anyone believed in me enough to invest in a project with me... I've had to do very low budged films, but I still LOVED every minute of making them. And I already told myself that I'm fine with it if I never make real money with it... So this is something I could very well still do from living a beach life. I only need very little equipment and the right kinda people who are as enthusiastic about cinema as me...
Thaaaanks@@c.9017Do you asociate with it? Maybe that's a task for us Millenials to build a beach (village) city of kindness for us, that can serve as an inspiration for the rest of the world ;)
@DAVE ADAM spoken like a true Boomer... I do actually work my assof, but that's not the point... Thanks for the advice anyways... I think I'm gonna just create my own path though.
As a boomer, I'd say, what can I do to give back to society. Teaching sports to help kids grow up without negative self identity. Fear of heights, water, etc, eliminated so as they face life without unnecessary mental burdens. I did engineering to make working people life better. Helped people of many races and nationality to improve their lives. Fought many injustices. The World still enjoys trashing my life on a regular basis. I've become an expert at recovery from destructions. I figured this life is a kindergarten, getting me ready for a more demanding task to come.
Wow, I was born in 1957 so I guess that makes me a Boomer, everything that Teal says is about me too! I never fitted into the narrative and always felt disillusioned and undervalued. In the end when I reached 49, i packed in my job, sold everything, bought a boat and live off-grid for most of the year on almost nothing. Strangely enough I always seem to receive money when I need it! I guess it’s all about the universe giving you what you want in the end., I love the millennium generation and I feel far more in common with you than my stuffy entropic peer group. Choose a dream and go for it and if you really feel it in your heart the universe will sing!
@@Teal_Moon I just cashed a lottery ticket for $1000 and they took it all. I can't buy a home, ever until I pay off those bills. Welcome to debt slavery.
I gave up, bought a cheap trailer home and started a homestead outside of a small town. I'm done. I'll pay this place off and toil my time writing music and trying to heal my soul.
I've been seeing a TON of this lately, millenials just giving up on society and living simply in nature, farming, or focusing solely on things you value & can control
@@brandont5995 I wish more people could experince this sort of freedom, we grow our own vegetables, we raise fish, chicken and ducks with two geese, we have a dairy cow and I hunt. We dont spend much in the way of groceries, we are located on a small 10 acre parcel but its perfect for us *wife and I* it's suitable for our needs and was located in a great location *for us*, private and secluded but still 30 minutes outside of a rather charming small town.. I'm so thankful to be here. We really risked everything to be out here, financially there was allot of job juggling with the relocating and all of our years of savings gone in the matter of 6-12 months, were broke now and it was really a struggle getting here, struggle in the since that we were paying twice what we pay on our new home in rent and our rental property didnt have working plumbing or adequate electric in the home, and we were going to have to pay even more to stay in the city and rent a different place so we stayed in this destitute home while we planned our homestead. Finally being here has given me us so so much, I'm 30 years old and for the first time in my life I am able to have introspective thoughts that are deeper than I have ever had before in my life and finally understand why and who I am at these different points in my life.. Enlightening in a way I didn't know was possible. I wouldn't say I am happy now, but I really know who I am, and I don't owe anybody anything, and the relationships I have are incredibly honest.. Even if I see a monster in the mirror, I dont hate it and I will work with myself to become what I want to be instead of what those around me wanted me to be. I think just learning to deal with all these deeper understandings of self and relationships are my primary concern for me to grow as a person at this point and time, something I would have never even contemplated a few years ago.. Not that I've never been able to contemplate and philosophize but that I never had control over my life and was a victim many times over and was always the problem and never the solution no matter how hard I tried and no matter how hard I worked. It was killing me and I couldn't see past all the different ways others would view me man it wasn't good, and I was just going from one dead end job to another. It was not how I wanted to exist. To say I am thankful to be free from all that is an understatement and I have grown and become so much more despite what might have come before. I started my own buisness, Good Weed LLC and we will have product going to market as soon as next spring. Can't aim too high kid. God bless and good luck.
I pray that during this time so many generations find your videos and start their own Journey or continue along their Journey that they realize they are. Thank you for shining your light we are all better because of it and because of you. Stay Blessed sista Queen!!!😁🥑🌿🌊🔆🐚🐠🦋
GenZ is definitely trying to leave a mark. Don’t wait for the youth to become adults in order to consider them valid. Crash the formality and usual trajectory. Remember yourself in them. I’m also GenZ and I went to Iowa to canvas for UBI, Democracy reform, community living, and to lowering the voting age to 16. Someone sent me to iowa from dallas when I was homeless and sleeping in restrooms. I met tribe there. Just turned 23. I’m like the elder GenZ born on April 27 1997. I don’t remember 9/11 So I say this to remind millennials that they have access to the youth and the support of the youth. If millennials and genz can create a positive feedback loop we will not just save ourselves from our own hell, but the older generations from theirs too. 💗💜 Notice how most modern institutions need the very problem they are trying to solve in order to maintain their prestige. It’s possible to successfully starve dysfunction. Imagine a mall thats turned into a community living center with a Nékter juice bar in the middle 😋🥰
Let’s live stream Avatar the Last Airbender together. I haven’t seen it yet and it can be all the Teal Tribe that just watches it on Twitch or DLive (is this possible or will it get striked for copyright?) 🎷✨💛
I don’t know what genz is like a whole lot yet cuz I don’t know many genz peeps personally (I’m 1990), but if they’re like the way you think in this post then I relate to you AF
this was SOOOO helpful. even though my story turned out to be a little different bc i never wanted to participate in the system bc of how much i hated my parents but then had to and also wanted to but always felt defeated and that nothing ever worked out no matter how hard i tried. it helps to see this as a generational phenomenon and not only my personal "problem". i know now what i can work with!! thank you so much. i would love to see a video on gen z and or gen a 😊
This video is THOROUGH. Teal didn't skip a beat, literally every question I had was answered, whether I realized I even had that question in the first place. Thank you, one of the most helpful videos if not THE most helpful one.
OK so I did my meditation, first I imagine not going to work anymore. This means I stay home and I get to sleep as much as I want, this pressure came into my energy that if I’m gonna be home I should be doing yardwork. I also decided to let the yard go. I felt the pressure of my kids needing stuff so I move them back in with their dad, I imagined my boyfriend would probably get sick of me sleeping all the time not doing anything around the house, so I got rid of him. Now I imagine myself on the beaches of Hawaii I can see that there are tons of people that want to live like this too. I then went to a place where us beach people watch each other stuff, When I leave they watch my stuff when they leave I watch theirs. I then seen that as these beach people we decided to take care of the land we were living on and keep it clean. I then seen us getting a carWe share the car and help each other out, I get the feeling of community tribal . I don’t know if this is where you meant for the meditation to go, but it all felt natural
Hi Teal, could you please delve into greed and why people buy stuff they don't need and how to understand this. I'm working as a pharmacist and what I've seen can't be explained by the basic need to survive and feel safe.
I feel like you are one of us Teal. ❤❤❤ Changing and creating new boundaries and realities. Pissed enough to make the change. I'm grateful for your videos and appreciate your effort.
Sadly, past wounds molded me into a cynical person and "self-loathing" Millennial. Being on the "cusp", I'd been denying these negative aspects all along, and embracing my "GenX" side instead (hence, my screen name😉) but that only got me so far. Your videos helped me realize that I need to face and "acknowledge" my wounds in order to heal them. First, to reclaim my power, I need get rid of FEAR and DESPAIR. Very tough during such a grim time, but I'm sure Teal has some good suggestions for that.
Thank you for this video, it gave me a lot to think about and just at the right time. I am one of those millennials that have felt the hamster wheel and enslavement feelings from the system and decided "what's the point?" About four years ago, after finishing my university degree and all of life's "checklist" that we are supposed to uphold (on top of personal changes as well), I decided to quit my job, turn in the keys to my apartment and take a one way ticket to Asia. While being out of the system I started to have a bird's view on it and the meaningless and trap of it all. I met many older people who kept encouraging me to keep on traveling and live in the now since you never know what will be in the future (health wise, money wise, family wise, etc). I could see how my friends and family who are living the typical life we are supposed to live, feel so tired, disconnected, and used. I felt such excitement and beauty in my day to day life, constant growth, time to do what I really want to, no commitments, no responsibility, freedom. I would jump from country to country and see the different systems and lifestyles long enough to appreciate them but with the calmness of knowing that I can leave any minute I choose and that I am not stuck there. I showed myself that it is even possible to make this lifestyle sustainable- I met many "digital nomads", found out about working holiday visas, work in exchange for food and stay, met bloggers, international English teachers and more. I started without intension to revolt, but with time started to see that I actually could continue living out of the system like this. Four years in and I am still not bored, I don't feel a dead end yet. I still have the will and energy to keep on going and no real want to go back to the "real world". I have though started to met people who started to show me suddenly a different perspective- the idea like in this video, that just giving up on the system isn't necessarily the answer and in a way, might be a form of running which might eventually lead to a dead end, lost time and regret. These people are showing me how important it is to be balanced in an unbalanced system. Find the way to be part of the system but not be abused by it. To find a job/career where I intrinsically feel drawn to and have meaning. To find something that the work/study itself fulfills me so it doesn't feel painful to have to spend hours doing it. To learn to put limits to the work so I can have a better work life balance. To understand how much deeper you can go and give when you commit to something. We have been having many long conversations on this subject and I now feel I can understand both ideas. The cynical part of me doesn't even think that balance is possible and I get scared to even think of trying it at times. But the truth is that there might be truth in the idea that constant movement, no commitment, no roots isn't the most healthy way to live or input to society either. In this video, I was unsure how you feel about the digital nomad lifestyle (working online while traveling). Would that count in your opinion as the senario you put in the mediation of just giving up with eventually will be a dead end (going to live on a beach with a coconut)? Or, would you see this as a sustainable way to fight the current hamster wheel enslavement system with a replacement system that is more kind to yourself and takes the control more into your own hands?
We’re in the same boat. Well, I kinda know but there is something in me preventing me from doing it. Maybe that which you’re holding back is what you were meant to do on this earth.
Dear Teal, I just want to thank you for this video. It is incredibly healing to have this level of validation. I am absolutely creating my own world right now.
I feel like I’m going to need to go back through this one section per day to really be able to take in everything you’re saying. So many insights in here, thank you!
Just saw BBC report on Teal......i am absolutely diisgusted at the spin they put on ur teachings.....ur awesome Teal..... such a sad world that has to constantly blame......
Question: where do you even begin when you have no money, your trauma caused you to not finish your education, and everything around you is so regulated that you can't get away, nor can you actually do anything. Because everything is regulated in such a way as to be geared towards making money. What can you do when the system parts a zero-sum game with you, and you can't escape it. How do you turn that around without hurting yourself?
@@susannebaumann4178 I guess my thing would be to rally people and make people realize that actually, the power to exit the system, is still ours. It requires loving yourself more than the pain stepping off of the wheel inflicts. The wheel will destroy itself anyway. I don't intend to go down with it. It can do that itself. I like what Teal said about kindness. I guess that's the world I want to create. I'll work with the system where it won't hurt me. And I won't play zero-sum games. But you can bet that I'll play to lose-lose if I can't play to a win-win. (Edit: I recognize that this sounds rather aggressive. It's not how I want things to be, but how I've had to act to survive. I need to learn to create opportunities especially for win-win - that is what I meant to be asking about.) Is that what you meant/how you see things?
There are 2 other Generations that are just like the Millennial but the visibility of the change is only visible in Millennial's. I see the same as they do, but I am not in there Generation, I feel the same as they do, but I have chosen to work on my self. the point of the Millennial is to turn inward to heal. all they see is outword hate and they make that there reality. Inward can only be done by them, but we can show with our deeds and our love. They are a fractal of our self. They will get the love we see in them, and we will see them shine bright.
Might as well get off the hamster wheel, you won’t have security either way. The only difference is that staying on the wheel=less abuse from the older generations. Sometimes.
You are spot on! I am off the wheel, i am looked down but i am happier in general. Given up the childish dream of security and safety. I feel more mature then my parent's generation, meanwhile i own nothing and being looked down. But i can stay centered as long as i can stay alone. Here comes the loneliness but it is peace. Empty space.
@@MC-qe9tw I'm wondering the same thing. It seems like to get off, you have to have some sort of security or backup, which most people don't. So how do you get off when the only way to feed and shelter yourself is to run a rat race? Like what other option is there? I've wondered that for a long time. I wish I had the answer to give you.
@@MC-qe9tw mmk so maybe I found an answer: live off grid out of your car/van. You can only work part time and enjoy that freedom, or work full time still and save enough to get your own land or whatever you want. Instead of paying rent, you just pay the car insurance and save the rest. Get a gym membership and shower there or at friend's houses, until you make your next move. Rent out a storage room or leave extra stuff in a friend's garage. It's just an idea, but I've seen people do it.
So MUCH wisdom and positive, Truthful guidance in these videos. I'm a Gen Xer and have so much love and hope for the Millennials. I feel their Spirit and it inspires me but also understand their wounds. I will share this video to help them so they can help themselves and come together to change this tired, dysfunctional Game.
If the law of attraction States, that by focusing on something we attract it, and that if we want something to fade away we shouldn't respond with resistance, how is that different to not looking away (in cases of human rights violations) when we're being faced with injustice, that just DOES exist. Does this mean, that we can't be raising awareness for said topics? OR How can we get rid of injustistes of that kind in the most efficient way? Should you avoid circumstances that arise and people we meet when we feel, that we are in a bad vibrational space, since they mirror it?
I think this needs balance between "healthy boundaries" , acceptance and leting things go. It's easy to deal with attraction of bad people and bad circumstances if you have at last enough money and some "safe space" (your own house or flat). Without these two things it could be even life-threatening. I'm still waiting for some Teal's video about this. It's really difficult if you attract bad situations and people literally in every aspect of your life.
There is one thing I'm not fully on board with though - When you said 'Even if it were certain that you would never achieve the goal, purpose means that you would go in the direction of it anyways.' I feel this is strategically bad. I mean, why would you go in the direction of a goal you certainly know you won't achieve? I need there to be at least a possibility of success for that 'intention' as you describe it to really push me forward. I understand when you say that the process is more important than the goal, i.e. the end doesn't justify the means. I still think though that there needs to be a goal that is achievable at least in theory.
Yeah of course there's never a guarantee of success. She framed it in a way like there's a guarantee of failure and there's no chance of success. If it were 'certain that you'd fail, you'd still go for it' which I'm not fully on board with. I feel like there needs to be a possibility of success there. If there's no possibility of success, how much of an opportunity is it really then?
Wow this video really helped me to understand myself a little more. I'm shocked how many ppl has same thought as I do. Teal you have a true gift. No one ever talk about this kind of stuff. I didnt know millennials are like this. I thought I was just me and how i was brought up.
I'm finally learning I need to give myself the experiences and hopes that I want, and that if I truly give myself them openly and stay vulnerable and self-loving, it motivates and heals and even fulfills irrespective of how others take whatever it is that I put out as an offering for a better, kinder world.
Thank you for this video and being able to tune into this information. I really hope you do more “millennial” centered creations because it could literally help change the world. I believe that feeling seen and acknowledged in this way will help to inspire many people of this generation (and “generation x” too) to keep on moving forward to create these new societal constructs that the world needs, as it has with me. These are things that need to be said and are so important and touch such a deep chord within the heart of people in this generation.
thank you for creating this two part series. i wish you that you will make one in 10ish years time for the digi-green generation too, that will folow us millenials. I'm already only partially millenial, i'm half leg into the next one, yet I deeply appreciate, and benefit from the materials, and the energy and care you put into your production of these and other ways you express yourself. I have found kindness, it's still a work in progress to integrate it into society at large, ye i clearly see how everyone needs kindness and authenticity that we are here to bring forth. Thank you.
Good heart felt well delivered @47 yrs. Here I see valid point perpective and insights. Allan Watts of course action is slot like Teal Swan directional based on what's going on today and mindfull thought patterns are powerful growth objectives
When we are faced with so much trauma and pain and on top of that so much loss in whatever we had put our energy into. You give up. For a very long time I denied that I had given up. I do like the part where Teal says to do what you love regardless of outcome. Even if I don't know the way seeing it in a different way feels sometimes important enough in itself.
Thanks for being a good listener and not appearing shocked by our questions or comments. I do not know if Gens X, Y and Z handle grief in the same way. I (Gen X) am still grieving the recent loss of my pet dog Sully on my birthday. My daughters, Gen Y, were upset. My son, Gen Z, appeared detached and not upset. Do you think that dogs have a spirit after death? There is a good reason for asking.
I don't think I would be considered a millennial because I was born in 79, but all the points you touch on I can relate to the energy. I was once very giving, but I was taken advantage of and now I am very guarded on what I am willing to give. My dilemma now is that I am being asked to give up a kidney to save my older brother's life. I am not having an easy time with this decision. I feel that everyone around me feel very entitled to my "giving" than giving me, and anything that I get from them I have to give double as compensation, now I literally have to give up my a part of my body. I can see how I match this vibe, but the guilt of not doing it would weigh on me more heavily. Lose lose for me. What's being kind without self sacrifice look like? I haven't the slightest idea of it. Everyone around me honors self sacrifice so much and they believe that is a demonstration of love. 😒
It sounds like your answer is clear: you do NOT want to give up your kidney. The conflict within you is: how do you release the guilt embedded in your conditioned self (and reinforced by your environment) and make peace with your decision? You may need to divest from the folks in your environment.
I guess you have to just live accepting that no matter how hard you try you might never get what you want... and be ok with it while you keep trying...
Some younger generations think, that the idea of we being Gods and co creators of our reality, is vague. I feel sad for them. I am a millennial myself, seeing someone younger than me thinking that there is no universe that created us and that we're all one, I feel sad for them. Maybe, as you said Teal, they are unaware at their stages of life right now. Hope they'll realize sooner than later.
As an individual yes I'm messed up . But i realized it now and I'm awake now to not blame my parents and take incharge of what change i need. Been a spectators for almost two years. Seen people around me addicted to social media , chose not to go that way . Strictly no Netflix. Started meditation only to realize that i need to parent myself, unlearn everything to get out of patterns. Spiritually speaking the end it's just death,there's no "I, me , mine". Now it's a clear canvas . Socially, my life's awkward as it must be . Well there are friends who carry on well with life(financially) working on software firms, but I don't resonate with their values and ideology. I don't enter the deep conversation zone with them to avoid being the rebel. I lost my dad last year so it kind of hit me hard, to think if this is the end what I'm gonna invest my time in. I gotta take the leap now but what I'm gonna do must matter that serves the need and splash reality into people face before it's too late. Idk if this comment matters half of the time I end up deleting it.
I find that not only do things not pay off, but when they do, for me, they are not worth it. These material things that I thought I wanted are not fulfilling. I see the dissatisfaction of that in the generation before me. Almost like they are frustrated as well. They look back on their own lives and realize they were duped. Many do not want to come to terms with this. They continue to push it on the next generation because they know of nothing else. We are all experiencing this together. Which is so powerful!!! We are the first generation with such freedom of information!! We, the people, are taking our power back.
cant believe Teal some people think this is nonsense? it could have been me saying all this and I can see the absolute truth beyond all this. I always knew I was here to change the system tho, so Now living in the most freak lifestyle possible, everything ive done has been totally weird compared to society standards but it has worked fine for me. And i ALWAYS work independently. i could not see myself working for someone.
When I think what I want...I want the whole world to be better :D World is all wrong... And then she said: "Society that feels safe". That's it. She said so many good things in precious and in this video
Questions: 1. Can you do a video on social anxiety 2. Can you do a video on being obsessive compulsive about productivity and how one spends their time
This was incredibly validating, comforting, and motivating. But I also want to understand other generations with this kind of depth...is there any work to this caliber about other generations? Motivations, wounds, purpose...
We are abundant from within, society has taught us to externalize our power. Businesses advertise to trick you into getting in a state of lack to purchase their products. When you have a purpose, your tribe gravitates towards YOU. Anything you want is the mindset of lack . Find value in being alone, at peace and in your purpose. Other people are an extension of the happiness that exist within yourself, but will not give you happiness. Tap into the abundant from within.
''You are an adult''... That hurts. I want to be, so bad, but i don't know how to be one. I feel like i have a late-brain. Always 30 miles late from everyone, lost in my imagination to cope with reality. I have faith in human kind, but sometimes it's so freaking hard. And what about loneliness. Teal, when you said that we feel more alone when we are surrounded by people, that is so true. Thanks for everything, and more. x
I somewhat feel like that too, maybe its a good thing to be the last to speal sometimes, it may be a blessing in disguise.
People call me a man because of the way I look amd while I agree that I'm a young man.
There's a lot for me to learn and do. Im 20 but I still feel like a child because I live with my Mom. I get it on the outside looking in someone could say, that's normal.
But for me its not a place I want to stay in.
On one end I feel like a child but on the other I want to be on my own building a great future.
@@OPTIMUMELITE stay at home, work. Save most of your money, go out into the world with a big chunk of change to put down on your own place. Screw what people think about millennials living at home. I know a guy who is 35 that moved back home at 30. He now has three rental properties and is rolling in the money. He will be able to retire at 50. Don't listen to people, they seem to steer us wrong all of the time. The older gen do not get it, they think college is still easily affordable and that owning a home is simple and that all jobs pay close to six figures a year. I should have stayed at home longer and saved my money. My parents are sweet people and they would have loved to have me and I didn't mind living with them. If you have parents to help you and they don't mind having you at home, use the opportunity to save. Many people don't have that luxury.
Have pity for yourself.

I used to feel this way too. I’m 29 years old now. It wasn’t until a few years ago I started looking into sacred/divine femininity. After being fed up with feeling like a child/being perceived by one by my family I decided to figure out what it actually meant to be an adult woman. I discovered that in our modern society we no longer have “coming of age” signals/rituals like there used to be in the past, which makes it difficult to understand WHEN you have actually made that transition into adulthood. If you’re interested, look up Jonita D’Souza on RUclips, I discovered her through this search and she has changed my life. Also, a quote I heard by Joan Didion struck me during this time too: “character-the willingness to accept responsibility for one’s own life, is the source from which self-respect springs.” Being an adult is about taking responsibility of your own life, and not letting others dictate your choices for you, with responsibility comes a sense of personal empowerment. I hope my story and findings can help in some way, I hope you discover what you’re looking for
I am from the 1995, and I feel that our generation has been built to perform for society like machines, instead of really getting to know ourselves ... We don't really know how to truly love other people, we bully introverted people at school. We don't really know what is depth of love, emotions etc...
😭😭😭😭😭
I'm not going to tell you how to feel. But it's interesting hearing your perspective. Add almost 2 decades, and you'll have my age. How you're talking is how the Baby Boomers talk and started to shift. They saw their parents and themselves tap into the grind and work like machines. And they were the generation who started the personal growth movement and the more obsessive self-reflection. In my opinion, it's swung to the unhealthy side and the boomer needs are coming out of the mouths of their children's/grandchildren. It's not actually their children's needs.
The younger generations seem to know to think of the group, globally... but they also seem very stuck in that self-obsessed, trying to find themselves cycle. When to achieve their goal of love, they should be having children... family is where the depth of love is especially learned, and being around people instead of isolated. I think that's why some of the younger generations' ideas around social justice don't stick... as they don't walk the talk... they talk about group change, while being individualistic. I have to think of my own generation though... when we were young, they also thought we were lazy or more that we didn't care. They called us the "whatever" generation. I don't really see Gen-Xers, that that panned out. We just don't get focused on very much these days. We're the in-betweeners.
@@dudeorduuude5211 ...family is where the depth of pain is especially (and specifically to the last precision) learned.
More than 50 shades of pain to master. Crack on.
@@dudeorduuude5211 Add almost 200 decades, and you'll have my age ; )
😢 I think that lack of connection from parents and a lot of them worked to much ( because they had to none the less )
It's amazing how parents criticize their children's generation when THEY raised them. My dad does this all the time saying, "we gave you a great home, childhood, education, yada yada yada" yet did not prepare us AT ALL for life.
it sounds weird but this is true i felt this too the exact same way.
Depending on their age, they might have expected the education system to do that. My dad was Silent Generation and he graduated high school at the end of the Korean War. His grasp of curricula was out-of-date before I was even born and when I tried to tell him otherwise, he dismissed it because I was a kid and what did I know? I never even got an apology when he learned that he was wrong.
Boomers are renowned for not taking responsibility for anything, while expecting everyone to be responsible. They have no concept of what it’s like to come into adult life the way Gen-X, millennials, and subsequent generations are. They don’t want to recognize the blessing of the unearned inheritance from the previous generations they received, how little they actually had to work to get what they have today, how much they did not pass that inheritance onto the next generations, and how poorly they prepared their offspring for the mess they created.
And then when you question their way of doing things and decide to do things differently, boomers criticize and get personally offended. As a generation, they have extraordinary fragile ego structures while simultaneously loving to criticize others as being weak, entitled, and lazy.
Honestly, I think what you’re describing is projection and gaslighting based in anxiety and insecurity. Due to their general state of entitlement and emotional immaturity, many boomers don’t seem to know how to connect in intimacy and empathy. I think they know how ignorant they are and how much they’ve let future generations down, so take out their insecurities on their externalized egos, their kids. Many boomers had kids for egoic reasons. To make mini-mes that affirm “I’m awesome.” When we actually reflect the truth about their “awesome” parenting, they resent us for not being what their egos need us to be...
@Lynn T , I don't know which generation you identify with, but regardless of W,X,Y .. you are speaking the only truth. Resilience is something that cannot be tought through lectures or maturing, but something to be learn through practice and experience. In the end, we cannot control how others treat and percieve us, we can only work and control our actions and thoughts. I wish all parents and educators would get on board with this!!
Lynn T sorry but no. You are completely discounting factors (systemic factors) that were created by boomers for short term satisfaction that are currently destroying opportunities for generations that follow you.
Boomer parents did not “give too much.” They did not give things like emotional intelligence, financial literacy, and other skills that are essential during our time. “Skills” learned in schools are not enough. Boomer parents expected a system (the educational system) to do the job of raising their kids and these are the results.
You could thrive off of skills learned in home economic and 4-H. That is not enough for our generation. Millennials work extremely hard. How many side hustles did you have in your 20s and 30s just to make ends meet? How much school debt were you in when you graduated college? Did you have to choose between starting a family and paying down school debt? Were you scared to buy a house because you graduated into a recession with debt your parents told you would guarantee you a job to pay it down and a housing bubble (created by boomers and gen x btws) bursting?
Boomer parents did not prepare their kids and now want to pass the blame. Millennials have been fighting tooth and nail our entire adult lives. I don’t know a single lazy, entitled millennial but I know plenty of boomers who found a way to thrive despite never having a budget, side hustle, and just a bachelors degree. This is not because your generation worked hard and millennials are not working hard. It is because you inherited one of the best economies in history. These are historical FACTS.
Stop with the meritocracy bs. It has officially gotten old.
“Living your life trying to avoid disappointment is not life.”
Possibly one of the best things you’ve ever said, Teal.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
the part where she said "To heal is to experience the opposite" had me grab a pen and paper. I never do that with RUclips videos but this I had to bring deep within. I'm still working on that whole not "trying to avoid disappointment" thing. Still trying to accept that things don't have to be exactly as I want them at all times.
Christina Jackson - Yes, that was another gem in this video. After watching the first video, I have been waiting for this one...and it was so spot on...so many great truths in there.
Random Insights the human body is magnificent- We were trained to avoid discomfort and flee from uncomfortable truths- Sitting in ones not so perfect truths allow the body to process and then release them, learning from them not becoming the mistake
Man... I changed so many jobs, but at least I tried EVERYTHING I tried getting my hands dirty and I am proud of it, (quitting is my tripping 😂) the only thing that is my faithful friend is art and paint, I am proud I have not committed to no one and stayed alone, really proud couse I know sooner or later there will come time for phoenix to rise above all. Keep that in heart.
with just 20 years of work experience I think I have 30 jobs under my belt. Hahaha. Some of them I had for years though as I've fairly often had multiple jobs. The ones with unpredictable income gave me the most joy as they were closer to my true desires but my truest desire is to have a roof and health insurance so boring government job it is. Sigh. I am looking to changing this and going back to teaching music part-time along with other things. Gotta get back to me. I can't wait to leave my state job for something with more kindness.

My fav part when reality sits in “STOP COPING” 😂
same! i'm cracking up! the clip is barely one second long. @12:23 mark for reference
Chicks like this the reason our generation is struggling. Would you hire this person? No. Why bring someone who complains constantly and blames everyone else because they aren't where they wanna be in life. TRUTH:Stop crying, start working, accept your responsibility to yourself, and move forward to change the world for better. The longer you believe in this self doubt and self degradation, the longer you'll wallow in your percieved self worthlessness. Just suck it up, move forward, make it better for the next generation.
I just love her nonsense.
Then She started laughing 😭😭
The millennial generation has INTENSE amounts of creativity this society and school systems have tried to squash. However it will become our source of unlimited power once we stand up and bravely take responsibility for our lives. Go millennials! I love you all 💕
@Whole Healthy Happy hell yeah, sister! I faced that predicament too. A lot of my creativity has sexuality swirled into it too so there's yet another powerful part of me that feels caged. And I'm sure so many of us have felt this. Freedom vs. connection. Now I have that old tortilla commercial in my head: "why not both??"
So true. We have crazy powerful creativity. If we don’t take on an accusatory or resentful tone against the old system, our creativity is like wind that can take down the house of cards of the old way. It’s not the school systems fault; it just was never made for us.
I bet if we connect with others like us our creativity will help strengthen our connections and vice versa, too.
I've been thinking the same. So many people I know (also from other generations) have so much amazing creative potential, but because the system of education and jobs has squashed that creativity it turns into anger and depression instead and makes people bitter. It's so sad to see as it is such a wasted potential. I still believe every one of those people is able to break free and unleash their creativity, but that's why we need a new world system that would allow this to happen, where those same people won't have their life depending on boring jobs that suck the life out of them.
It is a matter of regret that our educational systems are occupied by old generations.Can we make courage to go against them?
A lot of millenials were about to complete some goals before the quarantine fucked everything up. I think we are past trying to thrive in this society. It isnt even about destroying a broken system. All we have to do is sit back and let it destroy its self.
Was really geared up for 2020 after 5 years of soul-lost-searching. We start soon, the time is aligning and we will learn the language of the whirl.

"It doesn't happen, okay? It doesn't happen that a being ends up totally messed up if something didn't happen to them."
I had to listen to this a dozen times to make it stick in my brain.
After such deep disappointment over and over and over, it's been really hard to pull myself up again, but I'm finally doing it. I've given up for the past few years and it just didn't work, it only made me feel more and more depressed. Thank you so much for your love and support, it has made a huge* difference in my life
When Teal asked "what do you really want?" my initial reaction was... "what does it matter what I want if I can't have it anyway?"... Man, there is a loong way to healing us millenials, but I appreciate the work that you do. Thank you for your videos from the bottom of my heart.
I think we can have it anyway if we'd connect with each other...
I didnt even ask myself the question go bc its useless lol
Mine was "to lay in the couch watching netflix and playing games forever." Later she expressed that we have that exact desire. Mind blowing huh?!
It matters what you stand for. Were all setting an example for the rest of the world.
@@NandaBenetti is that really the only thing you love to do? there must be something else if not you haven't tried enough things and really had a look at what your naturally good at and trying to point that natural skill toward helping the world. That's what I'm trying to do and I don't care if I succeed or fail because it's what feels right to me and what I want to promote and see the world doing. be the change you want to see.
It is time. It’s time to make the new world. Time to heal our wounds, help heal those around us and raise the vibration. No more 2D or 3D. We are all one, those judging you is a part of you. Heal that part of you and make those others hold their own wounds.
I was born in 1973 but I very much connect with many aspects of the millennial generation. I’ve been doing basically what you advise in your video, but I constantly feel alone, as if I am alone trying to “push the ball up the hill”. It is hard to make others trust when they only see people as a threat. I’d love your comments. And thanks for the great work you do for all of us.
This literally hits everything! I've been so cynical for so long, until a few months ago where it was detrimental. Very few had me begin to smash the barriers of being a cynic. Thank you for this! Love it!
I did the meditation and saw myself on a beach just living a beach life smoking tons of weed and watching movies and just making piñatas to get by. I can actually even eat the piñata glue since it's flower and water...
I realized that this is a direction I already am kind of moving towards, but I also realized that maybe it's not so bad. Maybe this is actually self realization... Imma be open, I used to believe I wanna make movies and inspire people... But never has anyone believed in me enough to invest in a project with me... I've had to do very low budged films, but I still LOVED every minute of making them.
And I already told myself that I'm fine with it if I never make real money with it...
So this is something I could very well still do from living a beach life.
I only need very little equipment and the right kinda people who are as enthusiastic about cinema as me...
Thaaaanks@@c.9017Do you asociate with it? Maybe that's a task for us Millenials to build a beach (village) city of kindness for us, that can serve as an inspiration for the rest of the world ;)

Teaching sports to help kids grow up without negative self identity.
Fear of heights, water, etc, eliminated so as they face life without unnecessary mental burdens.
I did engineering to make working people life better.
Helped people of many races and nationality to improve their lives.
Fought many injustices.
The World still enjoys trashing my life on a regular basis.
I've become an expert at recovery from destructions.
I figured this life is a kindergarten, getting me ready for a more demanding task to come.

Great video Teal, I can start the "kindness" movement with my parents.
This generation needs so be kind, pure, healing for what 45+ has done to us
They were severely traumatized too...
Wow, I was born in 1957 so I guess that makes me a Boomer, everything that Teal says is about me too! I never fitted into the narrative and always felt disillusioned and undervalued. In the end when I reached 49, i packed in my job, sold everything, bought a boat and live off-grid for most of the year on almost nothing. Strangely enough I always seem to receive money when I need it! I guess it’s all about the universe giving you what you want in the end., I love the millennium generation and I feel far more in common with you than my stuffy entropic peer group. Choose a dream and go for it and if you really feel it in your heart the universe will sing!
Thanks for being.

@@warthunder420 All good👍
@@brandont5995 I wish more people could experince this sort of freedom, we grow our own vegetables, we raise fish, chicken and ducks with two geese, we have a dairy cow and I hunt. We dont spend much in the way of groceries, we are located on a small 10 acre parcel but its perfect for us *wife and I* it's suitable for our needs and was located in a great location *for us*, private and secluded but still 30 minutes outside of a rather charming small town.. I'm so thankful to be here. We really risked everything to be out here, financially there was allot of job juggling with the relocating and all of our years of savings gone in the matter of 6-12 months, were broke now and it was really a struggle getting here, struggle in the since that we were paying twice what we pay on our new home in rent and our rental property didnt have working plumbing or adequate electric in the home, and we were going to have to pay even more to stay in the city and rent a different place so we stayed in this destitute home while we planned our homestead.
Finally being here has given me us so so much, I'm 30 years old and for the first time in my life I am able to have introspective thoughts that are deeper than I have ever had before in my life and finally understand why and who I am at these different points in my life.. Enlightening in a way I didn't know was possible. I wouldn't say I am happy now, but I really know who I am, and I don't owe anybody anything, and the relationships I have are incredibly honest.. Even if I see a monster in the mirror, I dont hate it and I will work with myself to become what I want to be instead of what those around me wanted me to be. I think just learning to deal with all these deeper understandings of self and relationships are my primary concern for me to grow as a person at this point and time, something I would have never even contemplated a few years ago.. Not that I've never been able to contemplate and philosophize but that I never had control over my life and was a victim many times over and was always the problem and never the solution no matter how hard I tried and no matter how hard I worked. It was killing me and I couldn't see past all the different ways others would view me man it wasn't good, and I was just going from one dead end job to another. It was not how I wanted to exist. To say I am thankful to be free from all that is an understatement and I have grown and become so much more despite what might have come before.
I started my own buisness, Good Weed LLC and we will have product going to market as soon as next spring. Can't aim too high kid. God bless and good luck.

GenZ is definitely trying to leave a mark. Don’t wait for the youth to become adults in order to consider them valid. Crash the formality and usual trajectory. Remember yourself in them.
I’m also GenZ and I went to Iowa to canvas for UBI, Democracy reform, community living, and to lowering the voting age to 16.
Someone sent me to iowa from dallas when I was homeless and sleeping in restrooms. I met tribe there.
Just turned 23. I’m like the elder GenZ born on April 27 1997. I don’t remember 9/11
So I say this to remind millennials that they have access to the youth and the support of the youth. If millennials and genz can create a positive feedback loop we will not just save ourselves from our own hell, but the older generations from theirs too. 💗💜
Notice how most modern institutions need the very problem they are trying to solve in order to maintain their prestige.
It’s possible to successfully starve dysfunction.
Imagine a mall thats turned into a community living center with a Nékter juice bar in the middle 😋🥰

I don’t know what genz is like a whole lot yet cuz I don’t know many genz peeps personally (I’m 1990), but if they’re like the way you think in this post then I relate to you AF
@@releasethefrogs Gen Z are basically amplified versions of us millenials, especially the millenials born in the 1990s.
@@thewarrior6784 Yeah that sounds cool.
this was SOOOO helpful. even though my story turned out to be a little different bc i never wanted to participate in the system bc of how much i hated my parents but then had to and also wanted to but always felt defeated and that nothing ever worked out no matter how hard i tried. it helps to see this as a generational phenomenon and not only my personal "problem". i know now what i can work with!! thank you so much. i would love to see a video on gen z and or gen a 😊
Excellent material. Thank you so much.
I've been waiting for this video! It's here now!
This video is THOROUGH. Teal didn't skip a beat, literally every question I had was answered, whether I realized I even had that question in the first place. Thank you, one of the most helpful videos if not THE most helpful one.
Can’t wait to see you tomorrow!! ✨❤️🥰
Millennial here.. my giving up manifested through heroin addiction for many years. Found motivation for life after going through that.
OK so I did my meditation, first I imagine not going to work anymore. This means I stay home and I get to sleep as much as I want, this pressure came into my energy that if I’m gonna be home I should be doing yardwork. I also decided to let the yard go. I felt the pressure of my kids needing stuff so I move them back in with their dad, I imagined my boyfriend would probably get sick of me sleeping all the time not doing anything around the house, so I got rid of him. Now I imagine myself on the beaches of Hawaii I can see that there are tons of people that want to live like this too. I then went to a place where us beach people watch each other stuff, When I leave they watch my stuff when they leave I watch theirs. I then seen that as these beach people we decided to take care of the land we were living on and keep it clean. I then seen us getting a carWe share the car and help each other out, I get the feeling of community tribal . I don’t know if this is where you meant for the meditation to go, but it all felt natural
it definetely is an amazing way to go with this meditation! you go girl!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CLARITY ❤🧡💚
Another great one, Teal. I wish I could forward this to take responsibility for my failures as a "Babyboomer parent"
Take the lead? I can do that? Whoa ok. That really hit something for me.
Neon777 good luck
Exactly we have to drive, not by being against anything but by creating our own meaning and our life purpose , no matter what we have been told.
Hi Teal, could you please delve into greed and why people buy stuff they don't need and how to understand this. I'm working as a pharmacist and what I've seen can't be explained by the basic need to survive and feel safe.
I feel like you are one of us Teal. ❤❤❤
Changing and creating new boundaries and realities. Pissed enough to make the change. I'm grateful for your videos and appreciate your effort.
Sadly, past wounds molded me into a cynical person and "self-loathing" Millennial. Being on the "cusp", I'd been denying these negative aspects all along, and embracing my "GenX" side instead (hence, my screen name😉) but that only got me so far. Your videos helped me realize that I need to face and "acknowledge" my wounds in order to heal them. First, to reclaim my power, I need get rid of FEAR and DESPAIR. Very tough during such a grim time, but I'm sure Teal has some good suggestions for that.
Thank you for this video, it gave me a lot to think about and just at the right time. I am one of those millennials that have felt the hamster wheel and enslavement feelings from the system and decided "what's the point?" About four years ago, after finishing my university degree and all of life's "checklist" that we are supposed to uphold (on top of personal changes as well), I decided to quit my job, turn in the keys to my apartment and take a one way ticket to Asia. While being out of the system I started to have a bird's view on it and the meaningless and trap of it all. I met many older people who kept encouraging me to keep on traveling and live in the now since you never know what will be in the future (health wise, money wise, family wise, etc). I could see how my friends and family who are living the typical life we are supposed to live, feel so tired, disconnected, and used. I felt such excitement and beauty in my day to day life, constant growth, time to do what I really want to, no commitments, no responsibility, freedom. I would jump from country to country and see the different systems and lifestyles long enough to appreciate them but with the calmness of knowing that I can leave any minute I choose and that I am not stuck there. I showed myself that it is even possible to make this lifestyle sustainable- I met many "digital nomads", found out about working holiday visas, work in exchange for food and stay, met bloggers, international English teachers and more. I started without intension to revolt, but with time started to see that I actually could continue living out of the system like this. Four years in and I am still not bored, I don't feel a dead end yet. I still have the will and energy to keep on going and no real want to go back to the "real world". I have though started to met people who started to show me suddenly a different perspective- the idea like in this video, that just giving up on the system isn't necessarily the answer and in a way, might be a form of running which might eventually lead to a dead end, lost time and regret. These people are showing me how important it is to be balanced in an unbalanced system. Find the way to be part of the system but not be abused by it. To find a job/career where I intrinsically feel drawn to and have meaning. To find something that the work/study itself fulfills me so it doesn't feel painful to have to spend hours doing it. To learn to put limits to the work so I can have a better work life balance. To understand how much deeper you can go and give when you commit to something. We have been having many long conversations on this subject and I now feel I can understand both ideas. The cynical part of me doesn't even think that balance is possible and I get scared to even think of trying it at times. But the truth is that there might be truth in the idea that constant movement, no commitment, no roots isn't the most healthy way to live or input to society either. In this video, I was unsure how you feel about the digital nomad lifestyle (working online while traveling). Would that count in your opinion as the senario you put in the mediation of just giving up with eventually will be a dead end (going to live on a beach with a coconut)? Or, would you see this as a sustainable way to fight the current hamster wheel enslavement system with a replacement system that is more kind to yourself and takes the control more into your own hands?
.
The problem is - I don’t know what I want to create 😣
We’re in the same boat. Well, I kinda know but there is something in me preventing me from doing it. Maybe that which you’re holding back is what you were meant to do on this earth.
Same!
Think about your talents, then start from there😊
I have similar feelings.
Thinking about it anymore wont help. You wont know what it is without trying different things.
Dear Teal, I just want to thank you for this video. It is incredibly healing to have this level of validation. I am absolutely creating my own world right now.
THANK YOU 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I feel like I’m going to need to go back through this one section per day to really be able to take in everything you’re saying. So many insights in here, thank you!
Just saw BBC report on Teal......i am absolutely diisgusted at the spin they put on ur teachings.....ur awesome Teal..... such a sad world that has to constantly blame......
Question: where do you even begin when you have no money, your trauma caused you to not finish your education, and everything around you is so regulated that you can't get away, nor can you actually do anything. Because everything is regulated in such a way as to be geared towards making money.
What can you do when the system parts a zero-sum game with you, and you can't escape it. How do you turn that around without hurting yourself?
Ask yourself, What am I doing that is causing me to feel like I'm coming apart?
Go inside.
I just went rogue, because of this catch 22.
@@NJGuy1973 I'm not coming apart, but thank you for the suggestion. ✨🙏✨
@@susannebaumann4178 I guess my thing would be to rally people and make people realize that actually, the power to exit the system, is still ours. It requires loving yourself more than the pain stepping off of the wheel inflicts. The wheel will destroy itself anyway. I don't intend to go down with it. It can do that itself.
I like what Teal said about kindness. I guess that's the world I want to create. I'll work with the system where it won't hurt me. And I won't play zero-sum games. But you can bet that I'll play to lose-lose if I can't play to a win-win. (Edit: I recognize that this sounds rather aggressive. It's not how I want things to be, but how I've had to act to survive. I need to learn to create opportunities especially for win-win - that is what I meant to be asking about.)
Is that what you meant/how you see things?
There are 2 other Generations that are just like the Millennial but the visibility of the change is only visible in Millennial's. I see the same as they do, but I am not in there Generation, I feel the same as they do, but I have chosen to work on my self. the point of the Millennial is to turn inward to heal. all they see is outword hate and they make that there reality. Inward can only be done by them, but we can show with our deeds and our love. They are a fractal of our self. They will get the love we see in them, and we will see them shine bright.
Might as well get off the hamster wheel, you won’t have security either way. The only difference is that staying on the wheel=less abuse from the older generations. Sometimes.
You are spot on!
I am off the wheel, i am looked down but i am happier in general. Given up the childish dream of security and safety. I feel more mature then my parent's generation, meanwhile i own nothing and being looked down. But i can stay centered as long as i can stay alone. Here comes the loneliness but it is peace. Empty space.
What does it mean/look like to get off that hamster wheel? What changes need to be made?
@@MC-qe9tw I'm wondering the same thing. It seems like to get off, you have to have some sort of security or backup, which most people don't. So how do you get off when the only way to feed and shelter yourself is to run a rat race? Like what other option is there? I've wondered that for a long time. I wish I had the answer to give you.
@@MC-qe9tw mmk so maybe I found an answer: live off grid out of your car/van. You can only work part time and enjoy that freedom, or work full time still and save enough to get your own land or whatever you want. Instead of paying rent, you just pay the car insurance and save the rest. Get a gym membership and shower there or at friend's houses, until you make your next move. Rent out a storage room or leave extra stuff in a friend's garage. It's just an idea, but I've seen people do it.
Thank you teal, i will be working on this immensely over the coming weeks and months
Teal 😍 Thank you
Teal I have a question. Can you see/feel energy/thoughts/feelings coming through the camera when you make these videos?
🏈 Psychology touchdown ! ! ! !!!!!!!! 🏈
This describes millennials to a T. Awesome. Thank you Teal-team for the upload.
So MUCH wisdom and positive, Truthful guidance in these videos. I'm a Gen Xer and have so much love and hope for the Millennials. I feel their Spirit and it inspires me but also understand their wounds. I will share this video to help them so they can help themselves and come together to change this tired, dysfunctional Game.
If the law of attraction States, that by focusing on something we attract it, and that if we want something to fade away we shouldn't respond with resistance, how is that different to not looking away (in cases of human rights violations) when we're being faced with injustice, that just DOES exist.
Does this mean, that we can't be raising awareness for said topics?
OR
How can we get rid of injustistes of that kind in the most efficient way?
Should you avoid circumstances that arise and people we meet when we feel, that we are in a bad vibrational space, since they mirror it?
I think this needs balance between "healthy boundaries" , acceptance and leting things go.
It's easy to deal with attraction of bad people and bad circumstances if you have at last enough money and some "safe space" (your own house or flat).
Without these two things it could be even life-threatening.
I'm still waiting for some Teal's video about this. It's really difficult if you attract bad situations and people literally in every aspect of your life.
Yay!! Been excited for this all week! Thank you teal you've improved my life more than you'll ever know
There is one thing I'm not fully on board with though - When you said 'Even if it were certain that you would never achieve the goal, purpose means that you would go in the direction of it anyways.' I feel this is strategically bad. I mean, why would you go in the direction of a goal you certainly know you won't achieve? I need there to be at least a possibility of success for that 'intention' as you describe it to really push me forward.
I understand when you say that the process is more important than the goal, i.e. the end doesn't justify the means. I still think though that there needs to be a goal that is achievable at least in theory.
Yeah of course there's never a guarantee of success. She framed it in a way like there's a guarantee of failure and there's no chance of success. If it were 'certain that you'd fail, you'd still go for it' which I'm not fully on board with. I feel like there needs to be a possibility of success there.
If there's no possibility of success, how much of an opportunity is it really then?
Wow this video really helped me to understand myself a little more. I'm shocked how many ppl has same thought as I do. Teal you have a true gift. No one ever talk about this kind of stuff. I didnt know millennials are like this. I thought I was just me and how i was brought up.
I'm finally learning I need to give myself the experiences and hopes that I want, and that if I truly give myself them openly and stay vulnerable and self-loving, it motivates and heals and even fulfills irrespective of how others take whatever it is that I put out as an offering for a better, kinder world.
This video is sooo powerful it speaks to my soul for real! Thankyouthankyouthankyou teal
Thank you for this video and being able to tune into this information. I really hope you do more “millennial” centered creations because it could literally help change the world. I believe that feeling seen and acknowledged in this way will help to inspire many people of this generation (and “generation x” too) to keep on moving forward to create these new societal constructs that the world needs, as it has with me.
These are things that need to be said and are so important and touch such a deep chord within the heart of people in this generation.
anybody else looking for help to REMEMBER who they are? tune Teal
im glad that this can help both me and the generations before me, it really opens my eyes into seeing how other people operate
I love Teal. She gets me.
but i can't imagine the "giving up" part because i would need money to survive...?
Same. That's the first thing my mind jumped to...maybe I'd just hang out on a beach making jewellery from coconut shells ha..
That's why you're imagining it. Imagine you don't have to make money
I feel represented. Thank you.
thank you for creating this two part series.
i wish you that you will make one in 10ish years time for the digi-green generation too, that will folow us millenials.
I'm already only partially millenial, i'm half leg into the next one, yet I deeply appreciate, and benefit from the materials, and the energy and care you put into your production of these and other ways you express yourself.
I have found kindness, it's still a work in progress to integrate it into society at large, ye i clearly see how everyone needs kindness and authenticity that we are here to bring forth.
Thank you.
FREEDOM, TRUTH & NURTURING OUR CHILDREN. THIS IS MY PURPOSE.
Just healed me your voice has healing power! Your an awesome person
Good heart felt well delivered @47 yrs. Here I see valid point perpective and insights. Allan Watts of course action is slot like Teal Swan directional based on what's going on today and mindfull thought patterns are powerful growth objectives
When we are faced with so much trauma and pain and on top of that so much loss in whatever we had put our energy into. You give up. For a very long time I denied that I had given up. I do like the part where Teal says to do what you love regardless of outcome. Even if I don't know the way seeing it in a different way feels sometimes important enough in itself.
Thanks for being a good listener and not appearing shocked by our questions or comments. I do not know if Gens X, Y and Z handle grief in the same way. I (Gen X) am still grieving the recent loss of my pet dog Sully on my birthday. My daughters, Gen Y, were upset. My son, Gen Z, appeared detached and not upset. Do you think that dogs have a spirit after death? There is a good reason for asking.
Loved it, very freeing!
How do I stop coping without giving up on everything?
I don't think I would be considered a millennial because I was born in 79, but all the points you touch on I can relate to the energy. I was once very giving, but I was taken advantage of and now I am very guarded on what I am willing to give. My dilemma now is that I am being asked to give up a kidney to save my older brother's life. I am not having an easy time with this decision. I feel that everyone around me feel very entitled to my "giving" than giving me, and anything that I get from them I have to give double as compensation, now I literally have to give up my a part of my body. I can see how I match this vibe, but the guilt of not doing it would weigh on me more heavily. Lose lose for me. What's being kind without self sacrifice look like? I haven't the slightest idea of it. Everyone around me honors self sacrifice so much and they believe that is a demonstration of love. 😒
It sounds like your answer is clear: you do NOT want to give up your kidney. The conflict within you is: how do you release the guilt embedded in your conditioned self (and reinforced by your environment) and make peace with your decision? You may need to divest from the folks in your environment.
What did you end up doing?
God bless you Teal for all that you do. And especially for doing this.
Thank you very much for your videos 💐💞
I guess you have to just live accepting that no matter how hard you try you might never get what you want... and be ok with it while you keep trying...
Some younger generations think, that the idea of we being Gods and co creators of our reality, is vague. I feel sad for them. I am a millennial myself, seeing someone younger than me thinking that there is no universe that created us and that we're all one, I feel sad for them. Maybe, as you said Teal, they are unaware at their stages of life right now. Hope they'll realize sooner than later.
Thank you! Wow! Totally helped me reshape and shift my perspective to getting back to purpose.
As an individual yes I'm messed up . But i realized it now and I'm awake now to not blame my parents and take incharge of what change i need. Been a spectators for almost two years. Seen people around me addicted to social media , chose not to go that way . Strictly no Netflix. Started meditation only to realize that i need to parent myself, unlearn everything to get out of patterns. Spiritually speaking the end it's just death,there's no "I, me , mine". Now it's a clear canvas . Socially, my life's awkward as it must be . Well there are friends who carry on well with life(financially) working on software firms, but I don't resonate with their values and ideology. I don't enter the deep conversation zone with them to avoid being the rebel. I lost my dad last year so it kind of hit me hard, to think if this is the end what I'm gonna invest my time in. I gotta take the leap now but what I'm gonna do must matter that serves the need and splash reality into people face before it's too late.
Idk if this comment matters half of the time I end up deleting it.
thank you Teal. I have heard what I needed to hear. It did not make me feel nice about myself, but it's true..great timing too
Love this video. Couldn't have come at a better time!!!
This video is the best advice for me. Thank God. Thanks Teal❤
From 1998, basically generation Z but even yesterday I was feeling a lot of rage bc of this, this also resonates with me
I find that not only do things not pay off, but when they do, for me, they are not worth it. These material things that I thought I wanted are not fulfilling. I see the dissatisfaction of that in the generation before me. Almost like they are frustrated as well. They look back on their own lives and realize they were duped. Many do not want to come to terms with this. They continue to push it on the next generation because they know of nothing else. We are all experiencing this together. Which is so powerful!!! We are the first generation with such freedom of information!! We, the people, are taking our power back.
cant believe Teal some people think this is nonsense? it could have been me saying all this and I can see the absolute truth beyond all this. I always knew I was here to change the system tho, so Now living in the most freak lifestyle possible, everything ive done has been totally weird compared to society standards but it has worked fine for me. And i ALWAYS work independently. i could not see myself working for someone.
Again a great video , thank U
oh, this is so aligned with my heart and with what I think my mission is
When I think what I want...I want the whole world to be better :D World is all wrong... And then she said: "Society that feels safe". That's it. She said so many good things in precious and in this video
Questions: 1. Can you do a video on social anxiety 2. Can you do a video on being obsessive compulsive about productivity and how one spends their time
Thank you 🙏🏻
All you do is wonderful. I know there are always negative aspects but I don't believe any longer in duality.
thank you teal
This was incredibly validating, comforting, and motivating. But I also want to understand other generations with this kind of depth...is there any work to this caliber about other generations? Motivations, wounds, purpose...
We are abundant from within, society has taught us to externalize our power. Businesses advertise to trick you into getting in a state of lack to purchase their products. When you have a purpose, your tribe gravitates towards YOU. Anything you want is the mindset of lack . Find value in being alone, at peace and in your purpose. Other people are an extension of the happiness that exist within yourself, but will not give you happiness. Tap into the abundant from within.
Bring it on. It's gonna be painful but I wanna hear what you need to say.
I will need to digest it but this video alone have some balls of rules for life.
Trying to keep up my brain is exhausted.
Good one. Great job.
