Why do we care so much about what other people think of us? And more importantly, how can we overcome this? In this video, we dive deep into the psychology of why we seek approval and how you can shift your focus to live a more authentic and fulfilling life. Why We Care About Others' Opinions: As social animals, humans have evolved to value the opinions of others as a survival mechanism. Living in tribes for thousands of years meant that acceptance was key to survival. This instinct to belong still influences us today, often leading to a fear of rejection or judgment. The Impact of Social Conditioning: Our concern with others' opinions is deeply rooted in social conditioning. Influences from society, family, and peers shape how we view ourselves. This can lead to an unhealthy level of concern over how we are perceived. Finding Balance: Caring about what others think isn't inherently bad—it's about finding the right balance. As Michelle Elman notes in "The Joy of Being Selfish," there's a distinction between healthy concern and letting others' opinions dictate your life. Drawing inspiration from philosophies like Stoicism, this video explores how to maintain a healthy balance by valuing your own opinion over others'. Practical Steps to Overcome Social Anxiety: Identify Your Core Values: Reflect on what truly matters to you and write down your values, goals, and truths. This exercise will help you align your actions with your personal beliefs rather than external opinions. Embrace Your Authentic Self: Focus on expressing your true personality with genuine intent. Remember that not everyone will like you—and that's okay. It's impossible to please everyone, so prioritize aligning with those who resonate with your true self. Mindfulness and Reflection: Contemplate the transient nature of life. Reflect on how little others' opinions will matter in the long run. As the Stoics suggest, contemplating death can bring clarity to what truly matters. Reframe Your Perspective: Understand that most people are too preoccupied with their own lives to focus on yours. As Tibo Maurice puts it in "Master Your Emotions," what others think of you is none of your business.

The universe's breathtaking display taught me a valuable lesson about finding beauty in adversity and unexpected places.
Remember, even in challenging times, there's always a possibility for something remarkable to happen. Let's believe that we find and create those gems on our path.

In this episode, I talk about the benefits of journaling and how it can improve your life. Journaling can help you clarify your thoughts, reduce stress, and increase self-awareness. I also provide tips on how to get started with journaling, such as setting aside a specific time and place to write, writing down your goals and values, and using a simple, less-is-more approach to writing. Also, I recommend using a designated notebook or journal for journaling, and suggest that you take time to review your entries periodically to identify patterns and trends in your life. Additionally, I suggest ways to create a distraction-free environment for journaling, such as meditating or praying before writing. Give journaling a try, even if it's just for a few days or a couple of weeks, and share your experiences and tips in the comments.
