Self-Regulation
Many of the difficulties we face are not simply problems in the world around us, but reflect how we relate to ourselves.
We can become caught in patterns of behaviour that offer immediate relief while gradually undermining our longer-term stability and wellbeing. At other times, the difficulty is less obvious but no less significant—a sense of disconnection, restlessness, or being out of step with our own lives.
From the perspective of life telos, these experiences can be understood as forms of misalignment. Behaviour becomes organised around short-term comfort or pleasure rather than the more challenging task that support life.
The following videos explore how these patterns develop, how they are maintained, and what it might mean to move back into alignment.
How it Feels to be In or Out of Sync with Life- and Why
Here I I talk about the felt experience—the physical, emotional, and existential signals that tell us whether we’re living in tune with life’s natural rhythms, or drifting away from them.
Life Telo, Addiction, and the Pursuit of Pleasure
In this video I explore how our pursuit of pleasure can derail our deeper biological and emotional needs.
Additction and Avoiding the Pain of Life
I focus on the avoidance of pain—how it contributes to addiction and disconnects us from the purposes for which life gave us the capacity to feel pain in the first place.
Life Telo, Addiction, and the Path to Recovery
In this video, I explore what recovery really involves: not just abstinence, but realignment with what life asks of us.
