This is bs. People aren't making any money, homeless is skyrocketing, people are taking their life, disability services around the world is attacked while military funded increases, and so on.
Not that it's always it's possible to see much of a big picture (ex. death of a loved one if you don't believe in the afterlife/have a religious belief that makes you think they're going to hell despite how beautiful a person they were to you).
Dr. K I'm so proud of you for going through that entire explanation without swishing that bit of stray hair back. I know that took a lot of restraint. 😂
In my experience, suffering due to Zooming In doesn't just apply to small situations but also lifestyle. A large part of my life I was so zoomed into my academics and career that I forget everything else like making friends and socialising. I haven't made it that far in my career, and that's okay, but the fact that I put myself through so much during that period of life and now neither do I know a single person outside my office and home nor do I have the ability to make one. I wish I zoomed out a little every now and then
Omg, again you put an image into words. I'm claustrophobic and getting into a lift, this is what I think! I literally see myself not inside the little box, but the box in a building, the building in a city, the city in the open air.

Weeeeelll…. sort of. I totally get that, but it doesn't work 100%. For instance, you are stuck in the traffic, you zoom out, and you focus on being late for a critical job interview. That doesn't help with the anxiety. In fact, if you really look at the big, big pici, things don't look too good. Have you looked outside lately? This whole planet is a complete mess. The only way to eliminate anxiety is to be ok with uncertainty, suffering, and death. Of these, suffering is probably the hardest to be ok with.
I’m just curious 😋 Is rumination can be considered a mental illness too? (Not talking about myself, but I know a lot of folks (vast majority) suffer from rumination and stuck there forever… What’s the difference between anxiety and rumination in terms of treatment, for example?

Dont give me this bs on traffic
How can going to a job interview remove the bite of getting stuck in traffic..won't it worsen it

Helpful!
Thanks from a student with OCPD traits ❤.
This is an extremely overcomplicated way of just explaining human life

Yup. I have schizophrenia. When I'm unmedicated and delusional I'm zoomed in.

Another great explanation ! So much going on in these troubled times . We all need focus on positives!💞
Why do we suffer in life? Pain and fear. Most of it we inflict on ourselves, some of it is inflicted on us by others, uncommonly it can’t be helped.

This is great trading advice
Dr. K is telling me to be like Shesez and do a zoom out

Just don't zoom out far enough to get existential
when you accept the problems, they go away

a certain person in a position power will eventually not be in power. there is hope 🙂 maybe 🙂
the worst that could happen is that i get fired… well that's good also 😂😂 that relax me
Hey! The guy in the top and me share the same name! He’s handsome too! Probably because we share a name. 😂❤

Zoom out to add context, then zoom back in to keep things present and practical
This is much of your ruminating video you put out..
This is also detaching..
So you can see more clearly..
Good tips
This is very helpful and interesting thank you so much Dr.K.
