Hey guys, welcome to another episode of List. Today we're going to be talking about how to be unhinged and unbothered and so detached and obsessed with you and your own life. You guys loved the recent episode, how to become so obsessed with yourself, and there was so much positive feedback. I loved all the messages I got from you guys on Instagram. Go message me right now if you're currently tuning into the podcast and also be sure to hit the follow button on Spotify. The funniest thing is I wasn't even going to post that episode in the first place because it was shorter than my usual episodes. And I feel like I didn't have enough time to say everything and cover everything I wanted to talk about in that particular episode.
I was like, maybe I'll just rerecord it or maybe I just won't post it at all. It ended up being one of my highest performing episodes. So on today's episode, we're going to go deeper and get even more into this concept of being so obsessed with you in your own life and building a life that you love so much that anyone who comes into your life is a bonus, is an addition, and you're not gonna have to need anyone to complete you and make you feel like the best version of yourself. I always had a habit in my 20s, especially with feeling like a guy was the blueprint to my happiness. Feeling like a relationship was the end game. A lot of it also comes down to just the way I learn. I grow through my relationships a lot and I've been through so much with different people that I've dated.
It gives me a lot to think about, talk about, and I've always used people as my creative muses in a sense. So it was really hard for me to understand this concept of being your own best muse and building a life that's so fucking exciting and so thrilling without necessarily depending on a man or depending on a person. Okay. Let's dive into it. I want to make sure you guys get everything out of this episode because we've only got an hour in here. So let's do this. Number one, your attention is your most valuable asset. It is your most valuable currency. Your attention and where your energy is going at all times is the key of this episode. This is the most important thing that I want you to take away from what I'm going to be talking about today.
Our brain is always thinking of shit constantly. We're always thinking of a million things. Because of social media and today's day and age, we're constantly getting distracted. The key to becoming the greatest version of you is to know where your attention and your energy is being directed at all given times and hours of the day. You have to monitor your thoughts point blank. period. It is the most important piece of the puzzle in order to build the life that you love. When I was going through the worst of my depression and heartbreak and in a really shitty place in my life, which was the span over the course of a couple of years, looking back, I realized that my attention was always placed on someone else and what I had lost and what I was grieving.
Grieving is a normal part of loss. And when you go through something really hard and difficult, This isn't to say dismiss your emotions and never shed a tear. Okay. Of course, there's always going to be a process in your life and times in your life where you feel sad, you feel grief, you feel loss. But at the end of the day, there has to be a day where you wake up and you say, I'm going to give all my attention to something else now. And it's going to be something constructive, positive, and that's going to fuel the best fucking version of me. No negotiations. It is a non-negotiable to direct my thoughts in the right place. I always had this habit of replaying the past because I'm a very emotional person.
I'm a very sensitive person and I'm a very deep person. I've always had a habit of replaying the past and reminiscing and fantasizing and looking at someone's potential and looking at the potential of a situation and what that person could have done. And if I could have said something differently and if I could have expressed myself better and you know, if the relationship wasn't over or is over, whatever it is, you get the point.
