071: Let Go of Your Mind and Become One With Reality

Frank Yang is a YouTuber, philosopher, entrepreneur, and so much more. He joins Connor this week to talk about why he doesn’t plan, what living in the flow state is like, the benefits of meditation and why the best kind of relationship doesn’t need a label. He explains to us how he uses his body like a prop, his take on the NoFap movement and how he meets girls.   Key Takeaways: [4:41] Frank reminds us that the more aligned we are within ourselves, the more aligned our mind and reality will be. Synchronicity is everywhere, and things are falling into place for us all the time. Frank believes every little event that occurs is supposed to be there, and it’s perfect. [9:27] Both Connor and Frank agree it feels good to live more spontaneously have been feeling free and less stressed. However, they earned it by being extra disciplined for years. As both a classically trained musician and a fitness expert who tracked calories with much detail, Frank can now pretty much flow with where his mind and body take him and let the subconscious do the work. [14:08] Body-builders are a great example of the power of the mind and body connection. When we are really tuned in to our muscles and our workouts, the more present we become and the better results we typically get. [15:56] Frank got into bodybuilding when he was 18. He also has a passion for photography and performance in general. [17:32] Meditating by sitting quietly is great, but benefits can be seen from just practicing being present at whatever you are doing. A great way to start is to do it while at the gym, in the sauna, or trying out a sensory deprivation float tank. A few of the benefits Connor noticed from meditating regularly was heightened senses, better awareness, and less stress. [24:50] NoFap is a movement that avoids pornography and masturbation, for many different reasons. Connor and Frank have found right around the 10-day mark helps with motivation, clarity, and energy. [29:19] When it comes to relationships, saying you don’t want to have a label is another way of also having a label. Relationships can mean different things to different people, so what is important is openness and communication and what is important to everyone. [39:03] The stories we tell ourselves have such a big effect on who we later become. It’s like our childhood memories are like a game of telephone. [43:10] Frank meets most girls through Instagram and has also used dating apps. [47:47] Enjoy the process and be engaged, but detached from a certain outcome. That way, you just enjoy the ride.   Mentioned in This Episode: Connor Murphy Talks YouTube page: @ConnorMurphyTalks Brandon’s YouTube page: @HighLifeWorkOut @KingKeto — Brandon Carter on Instagram @ConnorMurphyOfficial Frank Yang in 5 Minutes being_frank_yang
