A Peek Inside the Mind of Chris Carmichael

What were your goals and dreams as a kid?

It’s funny; I didn’t have big dreams for the future. I didn’t want a castle or a Ferrari. I mean, cars were cool, but my favorite thing to do when I was a kid, and not much has changed, was taking long walks. I love being around silence. The feeling you get, especially if you get out early in the morning and the air’s a little crisp. It has that bite to it where if you breathe too much, your throat burns. I like enjoying the sounds of nature, being out in nature, and hearing the leaves crinkle. So my vision as a kid was just out in nature more because I lived in the city, and to me, being in nature was freedom. The big dreams were getting as close to that as possible while still being comfortable.

If you could go back and give your younger self any advice, what would it have been?

Chill out! I think we live life really rushed. When we’re younger, we’re always looking to the next age. You want to be 16 to get a car and then 21 so you can drink, and it’s like we’re always looking to the next thing instead of staying in the present and just living. When I was younger, I was always thinking about the next thing I had to prepare for. So I think I would tell myself, “Hey man, just slow down a bit. Spend more time on those walks you love so much. Get outside more.” 

Where do you see yourself going in the next five to 50 years?

The thing that interests me the most is altered states. We can experience so many different states of being, but we only operate out of a few. Joy is a state of being, depression is a state of being, and so many others are available to us, but we haven’t found them or figured out how to use them to their fullest potential. So in the future, I hope to keep expanding my capacity to find altered states and help others do the same. If we can change our thought patterns, we can drastically change our outcomes, so I want to keep exploring this and how we can reach this point of change faster.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?

The best piece of advice I’ve been given comes from my mom. She says, “the answer is no if you don’t ask.” And for me, that always gives me permission to try for a yes. There’s no reason not to! You might as well try and see what happens. Maybe you can get a better “no” or a small “yes,” It’s surprising how often we limit ourselves and how often one yes can have a huge impact if we let it. Sometimes, it’s only a no in our heads, and the person is just waiting for us to ask.

INSIDE OF THE ELEVATED LIFE CLUB

There are millions of people right now reading self-help books, writing down their goals, and trying to keep a ‘positive’ mindset in hopes of creating significant change in their life.

And for most of them, every single thing they try will fail.

They’ll end up frustrated, stressed, and lost not understanding the single reason they won’t be able to improve themselves and their circumstances…
