When I had trauma I used to think, "Sure I had trauma," but I have good mental health in general. I didn't realise that the three are actually connected and whenever you hear your trauma, you also hear your anxiety plus depression. Let me explain: unfortunately trauma is these unprocessed emotions, which are stuck in our body and that we wanted to process at the time of the traumatic event but we couldn't for whatever reason. That will lead to our nervous system being in survival mode, which means we will choose instant over delayed gratification because that is our natural instinct. As a result of that, we will be in an almost constant state of fight-or-flight mode a lot. What does that cause? It causes anxiety and what does choosing instant gratification and going against your goals cause? Depression. The thing is there are people who said to me that they feel like they've healed from their depression and anxiety but they have a lot of trauma. It doesn't make much sense because generally speaking the symptoms of unhealthy trauma will really give you these two major mental illnesses. I just want to say, by the way, that healing your trauma is the most efficient way to heal all three at once and it's kinda like a bonus that it heals anxiety and depression. Don't slack on trauma healing.

Back not too long ago I used to think negative emotions/emotions where you didn't feel the best were a bad thing that we should strive to avoid but only recently have I realised how foolish that was. Let me explain. For example boredom: everything around you in your environment is designed to keep you hyper-stimulated constantly and boredom is a rare thing these days. It really only happens rarely, like in the rare case that whenever you're out on a road trip and your phone dies or whatever. Those are the only times that, for most people, it actually hits them and they get hit with the feeling of boredom. But actually it's a good thing because you see all the greatest ideas, all the most brilliant things, were made by people who had a lot of boredom of course. They came up with these brilliant ideas for making the iPhone, things of that nature, because they allowed themselves to get bored. It's something that I do daily. I like to just stare at the wall and just think, reflect, plan out ideas, for 30 minutes. It's a really brilliant thing and I just want to say that too many people try to avoid it. Too many people, as soon as they are just waiting for the food to come out of a restaurant, they'll just go straight to their phone. I'm not gonna lie, sometimes I do that as well. I am not perfect with this but sometimes it can be really good for you, valuable, to get by that boredom and to embrace it. You'll get your best ideas and it's good for your nervous system too whenever you're not hyper-stimulating it all the time and always being in a mode where you need to reply to message and etc. It's good to shut off from that every now and then.

In Vedic wisdom, everything we experience falls into three categories: Īśvara (the Supreme intelligence), cit (conscious beings like us), and jaḍa (inert matter—everything we use, build, and manage). As entrepreneurs and creators, we constantly work with jaḍa—systems, money, products—but we ourselves are cit: conscious, choosing, discerning. What makes human life powerful is this ability to choose with awareness. And true alignment begins when our choices are not just driven by matter—but guided by something higher, connected back to Īśvara, the source of all intelligence.That’s where work becomes meaningful, leadership becomes wise, and life feels deeply integrated—not just productive, but purposeful. Those substances that have no will power are jaḍa. Earth, stone, water, fire, air, sky, house, forest, grain, cloth, the physical body and all such things devoid of will we call jaḍa. Human beings, animals, birds, worms, and insects — these are cetana. They possess the power of discrimination and will power. No other conscious being possesses the power of discrimination, in the same way that human beings do. For this reason alone, some people say that the human being is the king of all conscious and unconscious entities. But are we using this to our advantage? Are we fulfilling our human destiny? We want to be independent and we don’t want anyone above us. And that’s the whole reason we’re suffering in the material world in the first place.
