If you want to sort your life out the best thing that I think you can do is
get out into nature and go camping off-the-grid somewhere really
uncomfortable without showers without proper flushing toilets where
there's no people there's no creature comforts you're sitting around the
fire each night you've got to go through the stress of like figuring out how to
light a fire, you're eating bananas and tins of spaghetti and you're sleeping
we're sleeping on a mattress in the back of our car or you're sleeping in like a
cheap tent on like a yoga mat or whatever you can put together and it only
cost $10 a night to camp here so you can't use the excuse that you can't
afford to get away it's like the perfect holiday because at the end of it all
you're actually glad that it's over but you've also had that reinvigorating
experience of doing something different and getting away from all of your
problems and the thing that camping does is it forces you out of your regular
patterns and your attachments because you've got to deal with more immediate
shit, you have to because it's you're overwhelmed by mosquitoes and the cold
and the uncomfortable like ground that you're sitting on or like all of these
things or the waters cold right now I'm freezing I'm cold
but it's just another like you just realize like you get more in touch with
the immediate experience you get more in touch with nature you start to think
about like spiders and snakes and like I don't really care about any of that
stuff anymore because I've been camping for a long time but all of those initial
experiences are really good for you to pull you out of your old patterns and
stuff and make you start forgetting about your mom and your dad boyfriend your
girlfriend, maybe they're with you they're dealing with it with you and that's even
better that's even cooler like all these relationships and the roommates that you
live with or anything like that that's really stressing you out like you will
forget about it because you will be trying to figure out how to put a tent
up perhaps for the first time in your life and that's going to take all of
your concentration and awareness it has like such a therapeutic effect
and you're gonna see all these beautiful things we saw a Python yesterday like in
a really natural state like just some baking underneath a rock just in the
water and there's like a bunch of fields with cows grazing and heaps of like
wildlife there's a million different kinds of bird and some of them sound
like monkeys and stuff you may have heard them while I've been chatting away
right now and I did a meditation while I was out here as well as sat on a big
rock in the Sun and there's just so much to take in and I think that's what we're
sort of looking for you know day to day life it's the it's the reason why we get
addicted to things and we get attached to things and we go like gambling on the
pokies or we get addicted to video games like high stimulation things scrolling
through social media looking for something to take our attention away
it's because like our ancestors and stuff but over the hundreds and
thousands of years of evolution that we've gone through or whatever they had
like they were in a very stimulating environment this is hectic there's so
much going on and they had to contend with in a much more direct way they had
to catch this stuff that's running around in the woods and eat it and stuff
and find find the plants that they could actually consume that weren't poisonous
and it's like a much more direct experience it would have been very like
a fully immersive like we're working towards virtual reality right now so
that we can have that fully immersive experience all we have to do is go down
the road like get away from the city and get into the forest and then you're in
the most immersive virtual reality the reality experience that we all like shot
like we're all pushing it away thinking like oh it's so uncomfortable it's so
it's so messy but then we like create all of this discomfort and drama and
anxiety and stuff in our lives to simulate it because we miss it because
like we're designed to thrive and flourish in an environment that's
challenging for us and it's it's just I think that's like one of the big
problems that people have like they're just they think that
there they're making their life easier oh they're like they're avoiding all
these things that are going to cause them suffering but all you're doing is
making yourself I don't know you just like you're scrambling the human the
human being like it's not how we're supposed to be but if you're somebody
who's never been camping and you and you hate nature you probably just think I'm
a crazy hippie person which I kind of am now but if you do take that plunge and
get out and go camping or you're somebody who's goes camping already
you'll know what I'm talking about you'll have a fantastic experience and
you'll let go of so many attachments and addictions just by default because you
won't be able to focus on them or you're so immersed in the experience of semi
survival in the wilderness if you enjoyed this video please let me know by
