Motivation - Face your deepest Fears

ShoCkSC2 Germany340 Posts September 12 2015 17:19 GMT #1 Hey guys, I have planned for a long time to start creating motivational videos as I really love watching them myself. I wanted to start off with the topic of facing fears and anxieties as it is something that I'm dealing with in my every-day life. I talk a little bit more about it in the video. I hope you enjoy this one, as always critique and comments are welcome ShoCk

ShoCkSC2 Germany340 Posts September 15 2015 10:00 GMT #4 What youre saying kind of reminds me of 'acting to aquire certain traits/values' Ive made a short video a while ago on that+a blogentry http://niklaspg.blogspot.de/2015/06/5-ways-on-how-to-adapt-values-become.html in the blog, the very last point "impersonating others until you become them"

FFGenerations 7088 Posts September 15 2015 11:08 GMT #5 it was directed at your last vlog (the long ranty one) where you said it helped you to recall previous positive experiences to give you confidence in new situations my point was that this doesnt really work for people who haven't actually had previous positive experiences then at 5am i thought "yeah but you can remedy that by drawing on other people's positive experiences and feeding on that energy" anyway yeah

Djzapz Canada10681 Posts September 16 2015 20:47 GMT #7 For some reason I've gathered up the courage to explain my thoughts about these blogs you post. A while ago, I posted on one of these, I made some disparaging comments about your youtube video, mocking it or something. And I recall your answer was sober and reasonable, unlike my post. Since then, I've been rolling my eyes whenever I saw a new ShoCkSC2 blog. To me, you always came off as a sort of motivational speaker, a group of people that I strongly associate with: 1- Bullshit generic advice 2- Make money by selling books and generic advice 3- General cockholery and snake oil But you seem to be a nice guy, and you don't seem to be rolling in gold from your work (so far!). So what are you about, why are you making these? What drives you? Cheers

ShoCkSC2 Germany340 Posts September 17 2015 23:44 GMT #8 Hey Djapz, Its really nice of you to make a post just to say that. First of all, I respect that you had your doubts/have your doubts. Reminds me of myself, I would probably think the same the first time I see something like that. People earn my respect over time so thats not new to me. So from where youre coming from, I can relate to your initial reaction. Why I am doing this is a good question. And here is several answers that are all true: -I kind of love public speaking/presentating about topics that I am passionate about. I could talk about this stuff for hours and I do so with my friends, but I also enjoy doing videos on it. So one of the reasons is, I just love to talk about it. -I am generally really happy with my progress that I'm doing in the self-help department. I made so much progress in my life through just wanting to change and trying to find the right approach to it that I somtimes just want to share this feeling. I want other people to experience this too. Its so cool to have these amazing moments of "fuck this is awesome" and talk about it with other people. So I guess another reason would be that I want other people to see how awesome it can be to work on yourself and how heavily we can change as people. -But I also have selfish reasons. I also do this to remind myself of these concepts, deeply ingrain them into my brain. The more I talk about it, the more I think/share about it and produce content about it the more I remind myself of it. Its sort of like small reminders like writing this comment now that makes me think back to what I have been talking about in this video. So you could say, another reason is to keep myself on track by spending more time on these topics. And to generalize: I am really trying to create myself an awesome life. Its what fuels me when I get up in the morning. I want to be different and I want to make a difference. I want to get up there and then share that experience with other people. I just always felt like that, its sort of my path to self-fullfilment I guess.
