It's rather funny that of all the people we know we rarely spend any time at all getting to know the most important person in our lives... ourselves!
Many people will follow every move of certain celebrities and know even the smallest facets of their public life.
Yet, most of us don't spend any time at all looking in the mirror and trying to discover who we are... and why we do the things we do.
What I've grown to realize is that most people are programmed by our cult(ure) and aren't all that different from a programmed robot. I was one myself for most of my life.
My physical, mental and spiritual health journey has led me to realizing just how programmed I was and has also led me to things such as meditation in order to be able to identify what other things I do that are simply programmed and not something done by conscious choice or with intent.
It can lead you down a shocking rabbit hole once you begin to deprogram yourself and realize just how much of what you do wasn't a conscious choice.
And, it is only after you begin to deprogram yourself that you can "Be The Truest Most Authentic Version Of Yourself."
In what is likely my final "walk n' talk" from the streets of Las Vegas I ponder on how you can get to know that person you've spent your entire life with... you!
If all goes to plan the next time you see me on the road ranting will be alongside my five anarchodogs in Anarchapulco who I haven't seen for nearly a week.... and that is nearly a week too long for me!
Don't listen to any recommandations from society ...
Waking up from the programming...
whoa. this is awesome
Nature is busy creating totally unique individuals while culture is busy trying to make everyone the same. Don't let the vortex suck you in!
so VERY well said.

I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR 2O YEARS , EVERYONE CALLED ME CRAZY . EVEN MY OWN FAMILY
Great post Jeff! I love meditation.
All so often we get programmed by society to do certain things in a certain way that we forget to take a minute, slow down, and question the purpose of the whole idea.
The traditional media and social media are constantly grabbing our attention and selling us stuff we really don't need.
Meditation does help me calm my nerves and become more mindful so I can truly find myself.
Hi there, I think you would benefit from my post about meditation:
/meditation/@frankhiro/beginners-guide-to-meditation
Your awakening is something to behold and has inspired me to find more of myself on a daily basis. Thanks!
lovin this guy lately!
Yes, it is something to behold! Following you now...
Hey Jeff,
Really enjoying your 'tuning in' to your inner self posts. It's so beautiful to be giving this message out to folks.
The transition of social media onto the blockchain and out of the control of centralized media moguls will hopefully enable more people like you to be able to use their popularity to share about some of the really important things in life that actually bring about health and happiness rather than just more craving and despair!
Check my latest post on taking mini-breaks through the day - kinda like mindfulness on the move - you might enjoy it. I'm doing a series of posts on these subjects.
I am a mindfulness teacher and have been following this path for the last 15 years - so worth it, the one investment no-one can ever take away from you - an investment in your body and mind ;-)
Sending love and appreciation to you,
Will
I agree with you :)
I really enjoy watching your new flow in these videos.
hello from Merida Yucatan, !good work
@jeffberwick KUDOS to you for realizing the true wealth of the worldly life is good health.
Keep up with it my friend and before you know it you will have your subconscious brain trained to just live a healthy life.
I've been there done that... you sounded so Deja vu.
You're a good man and definitely deserve to live a good healthy lifestyle. Goodluck!
If you find a few moments please also check out and upvote my blogs @riz-cryptonian.
It is so true. Self-awareness is so important. Many people say the people around them do not know how about them but do people really understand themselves? I am this kind of person. I do not know what I want to do , I do not know what I my talent. Because of lacking of confidence, i always afraid of exporing myself.
Yes there is a need to boost your self. You are best created by God. You can do best with your unique qualities. It is not fair just idealize others to whom you will never meet to know their real personality . i would like to promote my self and prove me better than any celebity.
Only when we find ourselves can we find others who found themselves. Then we can make the change we seek in this world.
I agree but it sounds so optimistic, i thin k the reality is not that easy archivable
Interesting quote - I reckon pain is the biggest motivator that we have and is probably the cause of the most progress that we humans have experienced. Pain forces you to search for peace and love!
Really inspiring :) thanks
Did you win the poker?
You inspire and motivate ! Wish for the best !
great post
Love following your blog and your journey. This no alcohol thing is really working out for you..nicely done! :)
It's wonderful that your sharing your journey with us. I hope you find what you're look for...peace
I enjoy watching all your videos.
@JeffBerwick...
In my humble opinion... You are opening Up Your Heart AND Your Inner Soul ( Your "Internal Compass" ) to the many people that view Your videos...this is generally not easy to do, especially since, as You suggested, we are ALL programmed from a relatively young age Not to BE our authentic selves.
We all tend to not only keep our authentic selves from others (especially Family, Friends & complete strangers) BUT as You suggested and much more importantly...... FROM Ourselves...
GOD knows we have ALL done or said a great number of things that we are not proud of and perhaps would like to either "rewind or completely erase" from our own memory & the memories of others.
BIG Kudos 2 You, Jeff... You are becoming a "Beacon" of Self Awareness ( enLIGHTenment ) and You are an encouraging example for many 1,000's on their own "personal path", if not the many more people that have been "positively & personally influenced" by the people that have actually watched & experienced Your "walking videos"...... with or without Your Family of Dogs... >> : ~ ))
We ALL are incredibly connected beyond our wildest imaginations to everyone & everything on this planet... this concept was embedded within the story-line of the movie, Avatar... which is why it may have internally "resonated & harmonized" with so many people on this planet.
Thank You Very Much Jeff for sharing...
It's been awesome to watch your conscious and transformational growth. Props on getting off the alcohol and nicotine!
Keep doing what you are doing my man because you are on the right path.
Your show inspired me to get back to cryptocurrencies. I'd never heard of Steem until your show, and I cant thank you enough for that. I'm still working on getting to know myself more and more. I've got to get on that Detox that you and your guests were talking about.
Im doing it too. Going to start posting my progress soon.
Stay sober! Remember your life, lack regretful decisions and progress in the human experiment we call life.
Peace brother!
Jeff I respect you, but please don't say you're vegan if you are still eating cheese occasionally. You are vegetarian or mostly plant based.
Keep it up, Jeff. But your videos could be shorter.
Very inspirational, i have been following dollar vigilante and TheAnarchast for a while now... some good stuff man.
Yes Jeff, It would most certainly be a good moment to reflect on oneself to be able to discover what makes each of us unique. Once achieved you've broken away from media brain washing.
Your on a really nice journey of self discovery and introspection. I'm really enjoying the walk-and-talks. Made a hella funny meme of you earlier. Take care...
Inspiring.
Stay hydrated!! Its hot out here in Vegas!!
Agree with your thought process! It definitely fires me up to see people from all walks of life realize the BS society programs you for (school-education-job-401k) and they instead decide to blaze their own trail and go after the life they truly want, despite fear. Self awareness is key! Enjoyed the video.
Hey, Steemit!
My name is jakir. I am from Indonesia. I am a toll seller. I just got to know Steemit and tried to figure out the rope. Any tips are greatly appreciated! I hope this will be a great way to share my pulse and blog posts, I cover life, roads, and random stories.
You can find me in most Social Media @jakir.Happy to connect with community steemit
Very true! Self-awareness is quite critical in the development of ideas...

Nowadays a normal worker is so busy that he even don't have time to think by himself. Knowing ourself is good but is not easy, as Nietzsche says we need to go deep inside ourselves and that requires a lot of courage
Stop looking for your soulmate, start looking for your soul, mate!
Amazing, inspiring post. I too turned to meditation and walking to help my Bipolar, Anxiety and Depression. That and I started growing more plants than I new what to do with and selling some while keeping some for myself to keep for vegetables, which I will in turn harvest and donate seeds to my local Library seed banks and garden parks.
I'm glad to hear you have made a such a big change in your life for the better! Keep it up.
Also, I highly suggest you look into CBD oil if you have any pains from all the extra walking, it also helps anxiety. I have suggested the balm and oil to many people in my town and it has helped my local Natural food market a lot!
GOOD DAY SIR!
If you don't take care of yourself, then who will?
Always put you first. The stronger you are, the more you can contribute to society and help others break their mental chains of oppression.
You're an inspiration to us all Jeff, thanks for your powerful contributions to humanity.
A friend of mine sat in an interview for one of the most prestigious institutions in India-Indian Business School. The college is known to have students from different cultural and educational backgrounds. The institution aims to produce leaders for tomorrow.
What significant change would one year in this college bring in a person that he is ready as a leader? The answer is not much, the eligibility criteria says only people with experience can apply.
So this friend of mine prepared a lot for the interview. He was asked that what special did you do to prepare for this interview, and he said the "only thing i did was SELF INTROSPECTION,there are thousands who have cracked the exam but very few with the clarity and sense of purpose"
Self introspection helped him in his SWOT analysis which i believe is important.
Your post was a nice read and video is good.
Before i end i need to tell you that the friend cleared that interview
Cheers !!
Goood like me
So much truth. We are all products of our environment and preprogrammed for sure. I'm grateful to be tuned into a different program now. Haven't had a drink or drug in over two years and have gotten into "headspace" which is a cool meditation app. Connecting with that self more and more everyday. Seeing things I was asleep to before. Thanks for sharing Jeff. Good luck out there. Much respect. Upvoted, and following you cause you rock!
Time to head home to the fur babies.
They love you, regardless of who you thought you were.
Fantastic post, great content, following for sure! Just joined Steemit, glad I found a good Steemer early!
I agree. I think the biggest value in life is truth, and that also applies to self. I've only recently started to understand what it means to be happy and to be a good/better person. It is not easy, change is never easy, but the dividends are well worth it, in my opinion.
Love Jeffs work!
why not use TDV account ?
goes back to the saying of you can't love others until you love yourself. Shakespeare spoke of this briefly as well - about how yourself is the most important person to be true to. "to thine own self be true." my wife was just presenting this to me today, so it's kind of funny I come across this post talking about becoming familiar with yourself.
I've been following Jeff for a few weeks now. I really enjoy listening to him and he really set me straight on cryptocurrency. Gave me some excellent advice, Everybody should listen to him. Very together guy.
Don't listen to the other people and do whatever you want to do. That's the right thing and it will help you to know real you. This post is amazing and you wrote very well.
My job is to help mentally disabled people learn about themselves... I've come a long since I began that job and the work is still in progress for me ;)
We are our ego, shaped by our perceptions
Your post makes me think of these lines from Ayla Nero
"I do not show this skin for you,
I show myself to know myself,
I show for the earth from which I came,
my prayer is for you to do the same".
Thank you for walking the walk and inspire so many brothers and sisters. Healing our self and healing the masculine and feminine I believe will create so much beauty and peace on our planet.
Great video and great content
.. I have failed for sometime to consider this element of life. You have really inspired me to search more and to know more. Thanks for sharing this.
