Mental Constraints: How to change your thoughts and break invisible limits you can't see

This episode is a ride through dimensions—space, time, and your own mind. It’s like stepping outside your body mid-coffee to ask, “Wait, what the hell am I doing?”

From Zen bugs to aeroplane windows, Sam breaks down how we’re all stuck in routines that make life two-dimensional. And the worst part? We don’t even notice.

You’ll learn:

  • Why your habits aren't just habits—they're constraints dressed as convenience

  • How to inject randomness into your week to break mental inertia

  • A simple way to use boredom as a creative tool

    Don’t let your year pass in fast-forward. Open your thinking to start living in widescreen.
