It's a bit funny that I just released a book on the 17th of November that guides you in training your subconscious and conscious thought to work on tandem. Almost exactly the way Rachel explained, "follow your intuition" because it's your conscious mind and external factors that make you second guess yourself. In my experience, your subconscious communicates with you through both physical and mental feelings. Intuition is your guide, follow it. It reads and calculates the patterns from your personal experience, intuition is the hint for your conscious mind to make a decision based on previous patterns you likely don't recall. Everything you see, feel, touch, smell, and hear, these are all recorded by your subconscious. It makes decision making so much faster when you understand yourself. My book is about self-mastery, and this is the core of it. I call it the Design Matrix. Though intuition may not be 100% correct, it requires 100% belief. Any failure is just data to make your cycle more accurate. Believing in oneself if the single greatest tool in your toolbox. "If you believe you can, you're right. If you believe you can't, you're right." –someone online

I wanted to share what I use in my current setup for those wondering what equipment I have at the time of posting this, and what some awesome lights, cameras, mics, etc. are for those on a relative budget. Keep in mind I've been levelling this up for YEARS piece by piece, AND I work from home. 👉 I can also make another list for those on MORE of a budget (just ask). P.S. none of these are affiliate links (yet haha).

Hey guys, my name's Steven, but you can just call me Steven. I'm an aspiring author with one self-published book on Amazon. It's a self-mastery book with an anti-self-help stance. I give you the tool, you do the work. It showed me that I've always had a passion for writing, even in school. I just wasn't in the crowd or community where I wanted it known. Now, I'm basically shouting it from the rooftops without apology. If anyone needs, I can help with deep meditation with a short prompt to help you guide yourself. I take a 'no hand holding, no cheering' stance. Your mind only let's things work, of it's ready to accept the equation. I only try to help those that are ready to try to help themselves. I hope to be an asset here in this community.

A short, little guide I just made today for those interested in self-mastery, introspection, and meditation. Let me know if it was useful to you.

I couldn't find a' comment' button anywhere so I'm making a post. Hobby: ❌ Mentor: ✅ Skill set: ✅ I'm currently working on my mindset of turning my passion into my life's work. I'll look into finding a mentor soon, any volunteers? 😅😅 I love that idea of getting ANY sales job and quitting when you get too comfortable. You said it best, you're building your skills, not working a job. In summary. Looking forward to more of your videos Josh.
