Right Here, Right Now: Step Into a New Reality
In a world battling a global pandemic and social stressors, your circumstances may seem hectic and worrying. You should never feel ashamed of temporary hopelessness or helplessness. However, staying in that emotional state harms your spirit.
One way to “Get a G.R.I.P.” is to evaluate the meaningful things and feelings available to you. Our special guest, Mark Worster, uses his knowledge as a leader and mental health professional to guide us into the present. Keep reading to learn what he says can help you step into a new reality.
Meditate in Your Spirit and Values
Personal understanding and transformation begin when you live in the moment. This idea does not mean ignoring everything around you or creating a fantasy. Instead, it means absorbing and appreciating the very real things around you.
Consider your friends, your family, and other loved ones in your life. Recognize what you love about them and what you love within or about yourself. Remember your interests, ideas, and fascinations.
Thinking about these things helps bring out the person you are at your core.
Understand Your Inhibitions and Comfort Yourself in the Now
Our very wiring can complicate this process. We have evolved to think about everything under the sun and act in a way that best suits immediate needs. But doing so without a break can cloud our understanding and sense of self.
To step into a new reality, you need time for self-guided thought. Respectful use of psychedelics can help many people release these worries and dig deep into themselves. Those wary of psychedelics can listen to calming music, attend yoga, or find safe spaces to recognize their inner feelings.
Regardless, remember to be kind to yourself.
Experience the Freedom of Your True Self
Within you exists a person who is so much more than your struggles and personal circumstances. Hardship has formed a part of who you are, but hardship is not everything you are.
We tend to lose ourselves in the bombardment of tragedies and fears. We could pile future worries on top of past baggage and stew in unhealthy self-bondage.
Meditating on who and what you value can help you rediscover yourself beyond your fears. With that rediscovery, you can act on what is truly meaningful to you.
This process may take a while, but don’t worry! You never stop growing, and it’s never too late to discover what spiritually fulfills you.

The G.R.I.P. Method
G.R.I.P. stands for "Greatness Requires Intention & Purpose," and many who have followed this method can attest to that. This strategy helps people find their goals, inspirations, and visions and execute them with clear intentions through planning, purpose, and integrity. It works with science and psychology to make dreams a reality.
It is a roadmap that guides you through struggles and hardships, with the final destination being the life you want to lead or the changes you wish to make. The G.R.I.P. Method offers a plan to go from fear to freedom and helps you break away from where past attempts did not work.
