The playlist of adequacy was created to help a person be less critical of themselves, get out of the captivity of confusing and condemning thoughts and choose to accept their personal mental processes. You do not need to do anything about who you are; it is important to just stop interfering with yourself.
As you listen to the playlist, spontaneous discoveries occur — that’s what makes it so useful. You can pause the track and just think about what has resonated with you.
7 supporting texts turned into audio tracks with the help of AI. Each track is no more than 15 mins long.
The texts are written by Olga Andreeva. The audio tracks and images are created with the help of AI.
The information that the tracks are filled with shows non-trivial ways to look at yourself and the world around you; it expands vision and feeling, and is tuned in to greater self-trust. This is not a dry psychological enlightenment, but an essence of various views and trends, which I managed to combine and present through a personal prism. The listening itself is a bit like meditation. Also, the tracks have a transformational effect similar to planting seeds. As soon as the soil is ready, they will definitely sprout. At a minimum, much of what you will hear about in the playlist will be quite refreshing for you!
You will learn to:
- listen to yourself and follow your values,
- treat yourself with more care and kindness,
- cope with difficult thoughts,
- distinguish reality from thoughts,
- understand your desires,
- bring clarity about your boundaries.
