What's the best way to navigate life's endless questions and find meaning in the seemingly meaningless? We deal with this not by desperately seeking answers only intellectually or by rigid methods, but by living out the questions themselves. I'm encouraging you to let experience and life itself provide the answers, suggesting that sometimes, it's okay to let things be meaningless for a while. For those looking for inspiration, a different perspective, or simply a reminder that it's okay not to have all the answers, this video is a must-watch.

Mikhaila Peterson was the first person that truly made me question my own eating habits and how this could be contributing to depression.

We didn't evolve as a species to feel happiness. All your self help gurus are lying to you (while making bank!) We are built to survive, this is the meaning of life. If you want to be happy though, you have to do the work. As for me and those prone to depression or anxiety, I have to and had to do a lot of work and it was all worth it.     As mentioned in this episode, if you're ready to do the work and build that mental muscle and threshold for negative emotion, here's the waitlist for the Conquer Anxiety Program: https://www.conqueranxietycourse.com   Want to chat with me 1-1? https://www.conqueranxietywithscott.com

Before starting Depression to Expression, I worked for a few large social media companies as I mentioned in this episode. I would argue, as many experts would, that social media is one of the main causes of the increase in depression, anxiety, self harm and eating disorders worldwide. From a personal note, I'm taking a break until March from social media but will most likely continue to stay away from it as my mind is so unbelievably clear and simple moments in life are just more beautiful than a phone. You see my friends, moments unfold only for me and those around me, without the obligation to be shared. Think about why you are on social media and whether your consumption is outweighing your creative expression.

I bet that you have really high expectations of yourself, others, and your life in general. Am I right? Well the truth is that it's a really good thing! However... We can get so consumed by the thought of the future (that's all the future is, a thought) that we rush through and push away 99% of what life truly is. Here is a refreshing and simple perspective on how to stop overthinking this whole life thing. It's all about the small stuff.

When will I get over this? How long will it take? Will it last forever? This is a question we have all asked, so let's answer it together. Chat with me 1-1: https://www.conqueranxietywithscott.com

There are times where we need gentleness and reassurance, rather than raw motivation. Just remember my friends, it's a feeling. Feelings evolve and change as its a simple law of being human. When the world seems heavy and against you, the last thing you need is to feel shame and guilt. You did nothing wrong and it's okay to feel what you feel right now. Let it come, let it pass. You're going to be okay.   Talk To Me: https://www.conqueranxietywithscott.com
