not in flow

Every day I read something like “I was not in the source” or “I am not in the stream at the moment” on social networks. The fashion for mental disorders (when every decent person should have bipolar disorder) has been replaced by something more complex.

Now every second is either frustrated or torn apart, you wouldn’t understand.

I am a middle-aged man, I want to wear bast shoes, take a yoke and go to the river from new trends. Or, I don’t know, milk the cow earlier. But I still decided to figure out what all this means and where the legs grow from the phenomenon.

I looked at Instagram, which is banned in Russia, and YouTube, which is not yet banned. Holy Fathers!

And there and there – numerous self-help courses, as if stamped on an industrial scale in some kind of underground factory. And here’s the interesting thing: Even though five years ago all these seminars, webinars and marathons were trying to sound pseudo-scientific, now no one cares about it.

Earlier, at least the terms were borrowed from the academic work of psychologists, now all sorts of “toxicity” and “environmental friendliness” have developed, flooding everything. And most importantly, even for a person who is very prepared and intimately familiar with all possible types of heresy, it is absolutely impossible to understand what the individual authors put in these “conditions”.

But much more surprising is the audience of such writers and coaches. Adult people say that they absolutely cannot seriously cope with their living conditions because they are “not at the source”.

Not in the source! Interestingly, my great-grandmother, who raised her siblings alone, went through two wars, was she at the source?

As you can see, visualization is in vogue. “You want to achieve something, achieve something? Visualize it!” – advise same home-grown psychologists and coaches.

Of course, I did not fail to use the method. Because before that, I learned by experience that I was not in the flow, something must be done.
I sat on the couch and started imagining wildly. And you know, 15 minutes later a capillary burst in the eye and the Bentley under the window did not start!

Maybe, of course, I somehow mis-visualized it. Toxic, isn’t it?

Seriously speaking, what I’m observing in real time is a real intergenerational infantilisation. Adult uncles and aunts lustfully recount childhood traumas, recounting all life’s troubles with a lollipop my mother didn’t buy. They are looking for new and new ways to get what they want with absolutely no effort. The idea that in this life a person should not be comfortable all the time, that without overcoming (and sometimes severe stress) there is no success, for some reason does not occur to people. And I can’t imagine how such a public awareness picture has evolved in just a few decades.

Finally, I will make a very effective and very short training here. I have tested this method many times on myself and others without fail.

Dear readers! To get any good, you have to work. Abundant and productive. Don’t visualize, search for a stream, search for a resource, navigate web sessions, and memorize courses with webinars. And work!

Try it, you will like it. In fact, what I wish for the countless armies of rams.
