🔥Everything You Know About FREEDOM Is WRONG.

There once was a boy who hated being told what to do.

Every morning, his mother woke him at 7:00 AM.

Brush your teeth.

Make your bed.

Eat your breakfast.

Read for 30 minutes.

Go play outside.

Every day was the same.

“I’m not a robot,” he grumbled. “Why can’t I just do what I feel like?”

His mother smiled but said nothing.

One day, she decided to try something different.

“No rules today,” she said. “You’re free. Do whatever you want.”

The boy’s eyes lit up. “Really?!”

He spent the first day watching cartoons and eating cereal from the box.

The second day, he stayed up late playing video games.

The third day, he didn’t bother getting dressed.

No one told him what to do. It was perfect.

But by the fourth day, something felt off.

His room was messy.

He hadn’t gone outside.

His head felt foggy.

He was tired, cranky, and strangely bored.

Nothing felt fun anymore.

That evening, he came to his mother and said quietly:

“Can I have the list again?”

She raised an eyebrow. “The routine?”

He nodded.

So the next morning, at 7:00 AM, he got up.

Brushed his teeth.

Made his bed.

Ate his breakfast.

Read for 30 minutes.

Went outside.

That day felt good.

For the first time, it wasn’t something he had to do.

It was something he chose.

Everything You Know About FREEDOM Is WRONG.

Most people would assume that being free means doing whatever they want. Until they experience boredom, drinking Pina Coladas all day at the beach.

The same goes for travelling.

What the majority of Digital Nomads or 24/7 travellers don't understand is that they are either running away from something or searching for a singular focus.

They would only encounter this when they meet or travel with the love of their lives, or find and execute a purpose while travelling.

Love, for example, is freedom.

But you can't love two people the same way. Love is a singular focus. So is freedom.

The same goes for the purpose.

Purpose in a deep way is returning to the source.

Your purpose is the one that brings you closer to the singular consciousness. Connecting more with yourself, whatever pursuit brings this about.

Love creates duality, balancing the "weaker" aspect of yourself and connecting you more deeply with the singular source.

I know when I am travelling, my focus is content, but when I just "travel for the experience," I get bored.

My purpose or singular focus while travelling is to create the best pictures on the trip, or travelling with the love of my life, where the singular focus is on her, not the surroundings.

This has never changed since I started travelling back in 2018 until now.

Freedom is also being free of lingering thoughts or things that distract you from singular focus.

The more structure and order you have, the more autotelic your behaviour gets, where you need to invest fewer mental resources, freeing your mind from conscious thinking.

When you think about the past or future, you are also not free.

Only when you are in the moment, away from thoughts and in a state of flow, do you connect with your work, people, nature, sport, and your body.

The moral of the boy's story is this:

Freedom isn’t the absence of structure.

It’s having the clarity to choose your structure on purpose.

Freedom is waking up and choosing the same routine, the same person, and the same work again.

Over and over again.

A Routine Creates Freedom

A routine is not distancing you from freedom; a routine is creating freedom.

Your mind lets go when you are inside a routine; you don't actively think anymore, you just act according to your routine.

The goal of a successful day is to be as much as possible in the present moment.

Achieving a day fully in flow, where your mind disconnects from the past and the future.

This is a challenging task, due to the distraction of everything.

• Technology
• Traffic
• Family
• Friends
• Colleagues
• Randomly occurring problems

To achieve a "perfect" routine, the goal is not to add more, but to remove more.

Removing every single blocker of flow.

Either emotionally or physically.

That's why people take drugs or consume alcohol.

To distract themselves from their pain and unpleasant thoughts, because they didn't learn to manage their emotions.

Emotions block flow.

Side fact: That's also why most people love coffee and why it's so effective.

Psychological Entropy

The more structure and repetitions you bring into a routine, the safer your body feels and the less psychological entropy you create.

Entropy is disorder.

The opposite of flow and singular focus.

The brain is a prediction machine. It tries to reduce uncertainty by creating mental models of the world.

That's why humans create ultimatums or concepts, which help explain the human mind.

Things like ADHD, Narcissism, Autism, etc.

These are mental models, created by the human mind, trying to explain "itself".

Consciousness is always striving to understand itself, learn, and evolve to progress. When consciousness is not changing, growing, or progressing, entropy occurs—the decline, disorder, chaos, and the feeling of death through stagnation and non-vibrational movement.

When something doesn't fit into those models or people's worldview, entropy increases, which causes stress, anxiety, or cognitive dissonance.

That's what you can see in most individuals nowadays.

When you discuss politics or hold a different opinion, most people become outraged.

• Because they can't manage their emotions.
• Their minds are small-minded and not open to receiving new information.
• They can't emotionally detach from their opinion and see it objectively, which refers to both what I just mentioned.

You "offend" them by having a different perspective. They feel emotionally attacked because they are not sufficiently developed to understand that their mental model of the world might be wrong. They can't accept the truth, which may be the opposite of the opinions people have developed over decades.

Pain Needs To Be Bigger Than Comfort

To achieve a significant goal, you need sustained effort and consistent outcomes.

The pain of not achieving the goal needs to be bigger than your comfort.

For example:

If you hate your job so much and the pain of going there 5 times a week is so significant, you will do everything to make your side hustle work, even if you need to work late into the night.

What I have done, or rather what was done to me, is the extreme pain and the rock bottom I have faced, to get closer to the character I want to become. The pain might be impossible to explain, but I had no other choice than to put in the mental effort to change that.

I needed to create clarity from chaos.

Centropy out of entropy.

I know to achieve anything in my life I just need to continue working 4 hours a day. 2 hours of them writing and the rest for the necessary tasks. (Sure, I often work 6 hours a day, because I enjoy it.)

For 11 months, I had not pursued any other means of earning money because every distraction, every pursuit, and every different project was distancing me further from my goal. (The only money I receive is over this business structure)

Whatever distanced me from my singular pursuit, from my purpose and my work, made me extremely unhappy. This might sound "bad", but actually, all positive mental change and personal development happened because of this purpose and this anchor point.

• The pure clarity I gained
• The people pleasing I removed
• The management and focus of ADHD
• The sustainability of a diet for 365 days
• The reflection of narcissism in family dynamics
• The emotional detachment from nearly anything
• The understanding of consciousness, the universe and God

All by discovering my purpose.

The singular focus.

The one thing.

This led me to develop fundamental systems, routines, and habits —the groundwork of my Second Brain Business, which was built on writing, digital organization (using the chaos-to-clarity method), and a second brain for mastering the mind.

(Which will be the fundamentals and teachings of the 30-Day Challenge)

How To Avoid Pleasure And Stick To Your Routine

This can look entirely different to men and women.

Most men and women nowadays search for types of feminine and masculine energy, because they don't realize that what they search for is the emotional connection to the minority of their energy, to strengthen their primary core.

• Most men get drowned in pleasurable pursuits because they seek a distorted form of feminine energy, which can be found in alcohol, pornography, or sugar.
• The same goes for women, but in the opposite direction: they seek a distorted form of masculine energy, becoming obsessed with their careers and searching for a challenging purpose to strengthen their feminine core and become "independent women."

What both genders don't realize is that they search for duality, the rise in the percentage of their missing energy counterpart.

• A man disconnected from their feminine core is addicted to pleasure and lowering his masculine core, which becomes strengthened by the feminine core inside of him. A man will lose discipline, stillness, and purpose without a cohesive alignment with his inner feminine.
• A woman disconnected from her masculine core is addicted to challenge, weakening her feminine core, which is embodied in nurturing, receptivity, emotional depth, flow, and being.

Both genders will spiral into:

• Mood swings
• Overconsumption
• Lack of self-regulation
• Craving intimacy but fearing actual vulnerability

To create lasting routines and habits, both genders need to understand their masculine and feminine pursuits and strengthen the duality within them.

Their Yin and Yang, to find complete alignment, purpose, sustainability and happiness in their lives.

The Autonomous Mind

Most people want to become a bodybuilder, instead of a mindbuilder.

They eat 5 times a day.

→ Instead of eating for longevity, clarity and focus.

They track what goes into their mouth.

→ Instead of what goes into their minds.

They want to look good to attract the opposite gender.

→ But avoid the mental effort to keep the relationship.

They keep a diary in the gym for progressive overload.

→ But don't have a diary for their mind.

To train your mind, you need to manage your body.

(If you are familiar with spirituality or Religion, you may be aware of the number 33.)

To create The Autonomous Mind, you want to deload your brain by subconsciously creating habits, which creates space for your conscious mind to learn new things.

Your conscious mind can only process 50 bits per second, whereas your subconscious can process 11 million bits per second. Means you want to move the conscious habits into the subconscious mind as fast as possible, to create room for new "information" to enter the conscious mind.

How are we doing this?

Consider making your coffee, tea, or matcha, or preparing yourself for work in the morning.

You probably know where everything is, and you don't need to think much; it's likely already a habit.

That's the state you want to create, every single time.

This autonomous behaviour, where you don't think anymore and just execute.

Every "achieved" habit should become autonomous, freeing your mind and creating space for new information to facilitate exponential growth in knowledge and skills.

And, sure, maintaining this. Which becomes easier the more you do it.

• Think of a task, project, or anything you are going to need to do regularly, like brushing your teeth, making coffee, going to the gym, cleaning your space, writing and organizing your second brain, etc.
• Outline the tools you need, whether physical or digital.
• Create a structure, which can be a physical space, such as using Ikea Skandis, your toolkit, a shelf, or a digital space in Notion, Kortex, Obsidian, or Mac/Windows folders.
• Break down the entire process. First, you boil water, open a new document, create a mastery note or pack your bag for work.
• Follow the steps regularly. Always put the tools back into their place, or create hashtags and link notes for every mastery note you create to organize your digital space. Don't jump over a step. This will be retained in your subconscious, allowing you to skip over steps. (As mentioned, your subconscious is conditioned by your conscious choices.)
• When you create repetitive systems both physically and digitally, your mind will master your environment, meaning your "outside world," and also master your digital environment, your "inside world."

You can analyze someone's entire mind by looking at their space or phone/desktop.
