Stutz overview

Recently I watched Stutz on Netflix (trailer here). It’s an interesting documentary that talks about several life hacks (tools) that one can find useful. In this blog post, I’ll list some of those tools.

All people have some kind of problems, but if we have tools we can turn it around.

Pyramid of lifeforce

• At the top: yourself (writing is like a mirror of your subconscious, the easiest way to get yourself known to you)
• In the middle: people (go to lunch with someone you think is boring, will affect you positively – the whole human race is “boring”)
• At the bottom: body (exercise, diet, sleep)

Part X: the villain who stops you from growing. but we need this villain in order to grow and to learn how we can defeat it if only temporarily, as it can’t be defeated forever.

The shadow: you in your past, a part which you’re today embarrassed about. Talk to your shadow, see how it feels, include it in your life, and celebrate it. It is about the process of constantly relating to it. The idea of being in sync with it is a sense of wholeness (I am whole with it), which can be freeing.

The maze: people often get trapped in a maze, but life is all about moving forward. Imagine the person you hate, and then imagine yourself receiving all the love from the universe, and then sending it to this person. “If I can be one with this bastard, I can be one with anyone”. It is not about them, it is about you – being whole.

Radical acceptance: most events have value, and focus on learning (squeezing the juice out of it) instead of the negativity.

The secret of life: Accept that you won’t figure stuff out ever, and nobody else will figure it out.
