Favorite "you tube university" videos

A couple more that have come back up on my radar recently that really helped me unscramble my brain these last few years:

The paradox of choice | Barry Schwartz - YouTube - He discusses how we demand freedom of choice to feel more "free", but then asks how damn free do we feel when trying to buy salad dressing with like 138 different kinds to choose from. Choices....supposed to help us be able to do better...but often times only serve to make us feel worse.

We Addict To Everything - Terence McKenna - YouTube - I remember having ingrained ideas of what addiction was that ended up being way off course. I'm a hardcore addict, too, of many varieties. We're surrounded by temptation and trying like hell to just get through the day with as little pain as possible.

The Sleeping Tablet of Luxuries - His words brought much comfort and hope that I thought I'd lost for good during some of my lowest times.

Is The Healthiest Part Of Dandelion Its Flower? - Learning the land has proven to be therapeutic in many ways. I can't believe all the nourishing/nurturing stuff I used to mow down, poison, and bitch about having to tend to. Now, it's priceless and very much welcomed. Where the wild things are....some of my favorite spaces.
 
He's a favorite of mine, too, @RandyMac . One of the many diamonds in the rough I found while I was mostly bed ridden and desperately trying to figure out the miserable mess the professionals had helped me get into.
 
Rhythm...rhythmic breathing, dancing, singing, random and sporadic percussive sessions everywhere I roam, nature's rhythms....it all helps me feel better when I engage in it. This talk helped keep me inspired a while back:

"How can understanding rhythm shift our perceptions of ourselves and the world? In this riveting talk Ethno-musicologist David Alderdice uses a mulltipercussion instrument and engages the audience to demonstrate how poly-rhythms, the simultaneous use of one or two conflicting rhythms, can help us break free from the habit of seeing things from only one angle. Rhythm can be powerful ally in our lives!"

I found one of these handy dandy "Kitchen Wizard" slicers in a thrift shop one day for $3. It no longer had the instructions in the box. It took a couple days to watch this because they get a tad annoying after a bit, but it took me to school, that's for sure. lol A fun inexpensive very helpful gadget with safety features that saves my digits that's also easy to clean...definitely one of my favorites...but wait!...there's more....hahahahahaha!

So, as I'm trying to build up courage this week, I opened you tube and this was the first video that caught my attention. Great timing. Putting it here so I can find it when I need to hear it again, as my brain likes to come at things from a state of lack more often than not based on how I was raised and lived the first four decades of my life:
