Spirals :)

The Downward & Upward Spiral of Health & Productivity

https://zenhabits.net/upward/

Here’s the key: ask yourself which spiral you’re on right now.

Are you on the upward spiral? Keep going! Make one small change at a time, continue to help yourself feel better and better, work on your habit and mindfulness skills, and you’ll only get better at this over time.

Are you on the downward spiral? Ah, well, it’s good to recognize that. And it’s important to remember that you can turn it around. I turned my spiral upward, and many others have too. You can do this.

Psychological Evolution

That was interesting. This dude just made me smile and laugh, as I was recalling events from memory.

That actually explains a lot when I think about it.

If I had to put myself somwhere I would say I’m a big chunk of orange, with some green and given enough free time, I occasionally tap into yellow to the point where I am not even sure what my reality is anymore. So basically I’m just a confused perplexed Hippie with a stock portfolio, who reads too much weird stuff on the internet, is really into science and questions his own reality as he starts to think he’s going mad. Sounds about right…. or wrong … I’m not sure… I’m not even sure if I actually understood the whole talk or if I just think I understood it. But I honestly think I have my yellow moments here and there. Well… as everything it’s up to interpretation. I might as well be beige and just delusional. Maybe a lot of people think they are yellow and in reality they are just high or have mental issues or it’s yet another hierarchical system to put yourself above others. Why the fuck does everything have to be so hierarchical all the time? We need to start thinking more flat… Just kidding… everybody chill and spread the love.

I think I need to take a nap.

EDIT: Serious talk for a second… Okay I watched some more videos of this guy and looked up spiral dynamics. Spiral Dynamics is interesting and a helpful model to understand people and their very diverse values. Of course you can’t take it literally but you can use it to understand people and value structures…. But I watched some more videos of this Leo guy. And while some of his videos are quite interesting. Some of them are very dangerous to the point where I actually believe he’s a malignant manipulator and hypnothizes people to fuel their ego. I can’t be sure but I have a strange feeling about him. So I think it’s better to stay away from this guy if you are looking to do personal development. Don’t get me wrong he seems to be a smart guy and has some insights which are quite helpful. But he contradicts himself a lot and some of his stuff make the impression that he’s more of a narcisstic cult leader. Remember …. The less you know the more you think you know and he seems to give easy answers to profound questions. Nothing is that simple and nobody is above manipulation. Just be carefull

Just my 2 cents
