 this the more we can just accept
things as they are and change the story
we tell ourselves
you can choose to accept it or resent it
quote number three comes to us from
seneca
and he says we suffer more often in
imagination
than in reality and this is those ones
where you read it and it just hits you
right uh in the chest because you think
my god
it's really really true i saw this with
a with a meme where there was a man
he looked like he was drowning and then
in the second shot you saw he was
actually just sitting on the floor
with his face just above the water i
didn't flash up
um and so uh you know it
when i saw this i thought this is so
true because i was caught in a web of
constantly
overthinking back when i weighed over
322
pounds i would regularly be very very
anxious about
how people are viewing me um how people
are going to think about me the moment i
would be introduced to someone in my
head i would think they're just going to
think i'm
a really fat person and i just felt
really really insecure
and it led to me actually being really
unhappy and led to me overeating
due to my emotions as well which then
accelerated the weight gain
and finding this idea which has been
applied in kind of cognitive behavioral
therapy in modern times inspired by
stoicism
has been absolutely wonderful when i
interviewed donald robinson esteemed
author
on a staircase and cognitive behavioral
therapist he likened this to
exposure therapy for example say someone
has a cat phobia you can either avoid
cats altogether
or you could put the patient in a room
with some
cute little fluffy kittens and they
might after a couple minutes realize
these kittens
aren't quite so bad so this quote leads
to this idea that we potentially want to
put ourselves into difficult situations
because once we
go into them we might realize it's not
so bad
yeah absolutely and and there's so much
stuff in kind of the modern productivity
playbook that's so relevant to this um
you guys might be familiar with the yes
theory youtube channel it's amazing link
in the video description and their whole
mantra is seek discomfort it's about
this idea that when we step outside of
our comfort zone we realize that
actually life is much better and
it's actually not so bad my friend noah
kagan talks about this thing called the
coffee challenge which i think tim
ferriss references in the 4-hour work
week as well
and that's the idea that you know next
time you're ordering coffee from like a
starbucks or whatever challenge yourself
to just ask for 10
off and just see what happens and that
like even even thinking about that now
kind of gives me palpitations and like
i'm actually sweating just like
imagining that circumstance
but you know this is the perfect
illustration that we suffer more in
imagination than in reality like
i've never done this i've never brought
myself to actually ask for 10 off
but people who've done it say that yeah
i did it and it wasn't so bad equally
something like you know
going up to a pretty girl and talking to
them like we suffer so much in
imagination and actually in reality it's
not so bad and this
suffering and imagination is a big part
of why we don't do the things that we
want to do
like i get so many messages from people
wanting to start youtube channels and
really
oh you know i'm really worried what are
my friends going to think what is an
employer going to think in 20 years time
if like society's like
morals change and things happen yeah or
like what about if i get mean comments
i'm not sure how to handle that and you
know starting a youtube channel is a
life-changing thing
and if we just allow ourselves to suffer
an imagination without even trying it
which
is just going to hold us back from doing
all of the things and living our best
lives
you know like joe rogan says do stuff
that's difficult right this feeds
perfectly into the idea of voluntary
discomfort
we will say it now do stuff that's
difficult right chase adversity
2 000 years ago the stoics were saying
this this concept of voluntary
discomfort this idea that we actually
want to
put ourselves into difficult situations
like for example having a cold shower
sleeping on a hard surface this prepares
us for in future if we were to be in
difficult situations we'd think
i've faced this before i can face it
again okay quote number four comes from
seneca and seneca says if you would not
have a man flinch when the crisis comes
train him before it comes and this kind
of relates to this idea of voluntary
discomfort you know there's lots of
concrete examples of this in real life
for example in in medicine the reason we
have so many
simulation classes and courses and
events is
that you know when a cardiac arrest
happens and you're in extremis you're in
this emergency situation
you don't want to train people then you
want to train people before that happens
