The conversations explore identity, emotional intelligence, mindset blocks, and intentional professional living. Explore more at changingyourmentality.com.
Stop Figuring Out Life | What You Should Do Instead.
Today’s episode is on why we need to stop "figuring out life."I have observed something lately. Whenever a word or phrase flies all over the internet, we tend to all jump on it and make it our new mantra.
These days, that phrase is "I am still figuring out life." People have gone as far as making "figuring out life" their social media handles. But life isn’t an object to be figured out. Life is a subject.When you buy a gadget, you say, "I want to figure out how to use this gadget," which is true. It’s an object with a manual that can be figured out within minutes.
That doesn't apply to life. Life is an ever-changing subject. Take mathematics, for instance: you don't have one single formula for every problem. You have to keep learning because things change on a daily basis. That is life. You can't know it all because it is constantly evolving. Life doesn't have an inherent, universal meaning. You give it meaning according to your experiences and belief systems. You have to look at your life consciously and intentionally.
Ask yourself: How do I want my life to be? What do I want to make out of the life in front of me? How do I want my story to unfold? Be deliberate about your life. If you keep moving unconsciously, you will scream "fate" at every junction. And by the time you try to slip back into consciousness, you will just join the bandwagon of "figuring out life." Most of the people we look at and assume have it all "figured out" actually don't.
They simply asked themselves a clear question: I know why I want this, and this is how I will go after it. You just have to do the same and be patient with yourself. If you aren't patient, you will revert to operating unconsciously, and five years from now, you will hit another awakening and call it "figuring out life as I go." Just be intentional.
That is all life is asking of us. Our beliefs, experiences, and observations shape everything about our reality. Until we choose to see the patterns, we will remain in the cycle. Support Changing Your Mentality Podcast by hitting the follow button.

The Costly Mistake That Almost Ended This Podcast.
I almost made a costly mistake that would have ruined my platform forever.
When I started Changing Your Mentality Podcast, the primary aim was to explore psychology, human behavior, the subconscious mind, and returning to our original blueprint. However, when I began experiencing new insights on awakening, I felt compelled to bring them here.
That was my mistake. I should have created a separate platform for those topics or kept them on Instagram where they originally started. Instead, I decided it was best to end podcasting altogether—throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
I have now realized my mistake, and I am correcting it. I am not perfect. This is me welcoming both of us back to Changing Your Mentality Podcast. I know you are here because you care about psychology, human behavior, and understanding the subconscious mind.
Hit follow so we can learn, unlearn, and grow together.If you would also like to receive my weekly newsletter, I created The Uncluttered Mind on Substack. You can subscribe to read my work at changingyourmentality.com. (https://changingyourmentality.com)
I love you. Until our next episode: stay safe, stay healthy, and bye for now!

The Final Transmission: The Answers Were Always Within. #silence.
If it is enlightenment that you seek on the internet, all you will get are crumbs.The real task is buried deep within you.Every flower would love water for it to grow. When the water becomes to much, the flower will begin to wither away.We are drowning daily in a pool of information. Those that are relevant and those that aren't.The noise on the outside won't stop cause we are tired. No. It is left for us to consciously choose if we are ready to quiet the noise and go within.All the answers that you seek is buried deep inside of you. To get it out, you need SILENCE.Silence has all the answers you seek.Silence creates the space in which your own understanding can emerge.Silence holds the power that will transform your life.More information, more digging would only keep you guessing and drown more.If it is the truth you seek.If it is enlightenment you desire.If it is the path of awakening that calls you, all you need is SILENCE.Changing Your Mentality Podcast comes to an end here—not because there is nothing more to say, but because everything that truly matters is found beyond words.The rest of the journey is between you and silence.Thank you so much for the likes, comments, and feedbacks.If the call to SILENCE has reached you, the SIS Technique was made specifically for you.
