A short spoken monologue (YouTube) by Elay Amitay Halevi arguing that many people are 'created' by external influences—media, attention drains, habitual reactions—rather than actively creating themselves. The speaker urges reclaiming personal power through practices such as a one-week detox from complaining, repetitive speech, triggering media, and habitual reactions to stressors to observe changed feelings and responses.
You've been allowing everything outside you to dictate who you are, how you feel, how you react, rather than you telling the world, this is who I am, this is how I feel, and this is how I react regardless of what's going on out here. So you're created. Your whole being, probably right now, has been created by whatever timeline you dropped down into when you came to this physical earth. You must take your power back by stopping the external world from continuing to create you. Okay, how does the external world create you? By controlling your emotions, by taking your energy in the form of your attention, causing you to react in a particular way consistently, and by causing you to think and feel certain things about yourself simply based on external information. Do you know if you went on a detox that could be your first step, by the way? Detox for one week. From complaining, from speaking about things the same way that you always have, from watching the same things you always watch that make you feel insecure, from reacting the same way you always react to the same stressors, to the bills, to this, to that. Take a week to do it completely differently and watch how you feel differently.
