Fix It

[Chorus]
Fix it, fix it, fix It
See if you can fix it
Fix it, fix it, fix it
See if you can fix it
Fix it, fix it

So now you think, well
You can do this in a room, it's quite fun
Maybe your bedroom, you can sit there and just sort of meditate on it
If I wanted to spend 10 minutes making this room better
What would I have to do?
But you have to ask yourself that, right? It's not a command, it's like a genuine question, (Question)
And things will pop out in the room
There's a stack of papers over there that's kind of bugging you
And things will pop out in the room
You know that maybe little order there would be a good thing
And things will pop out in the room
There's some rubbish behind your computer monitor
And things will pop out in the room
The room would be slightly better, if it was a little less dusty and the cables weren't all tangled up

[Chorus]
Fix it, fix it, fix It
See if you can fix it
Fix it, fix it, fix it
See if you can fix it
Fix, fix, fix, fix it

Now you think, well
If you allow yourself just to consider the expanse in which you exist at that moment
There'll be all sorts of things that'll pop out in it that you could just fix
And you know I might say, well, if you were coming to see me for psychotherapy
The most easiest thing for us to do first, would just be to get you to organize your room
You think, “Well, is that psychotherapy?”
And the answer is, "Well, it depends on how you conceive the limits of your being."
And I would say start where you can start
You know, if something announces itself to you
Which is a strange way of thinking about it
As in need of repair, that you could repair, then, hey just fix it
You fix a hundred things like that your life could be a lot different, fix it
Now I often tell people too, fix the things, you repeat every day, fix it
'Cause people tend to think of those as trivial
See if you can fix it, fix, fix, fix
Those probably cost you at least 50% of your life
And people think, “Well, they're mundane. I don't need to pay attention to them”
It's like, no, no, that's exactly wrong
The things you do every day
Those are the most important things you do
Hands down
So a hundred adjustments to your broader domain of being, and there's a lot less rubbish around, and a lot fewer traps for you to step into
Once you've gotten your mind and your emotions together, and once you're acting that out
Then you can extend what you're willing to consider yourself and start fixing up the things that are a part of your broader extent
Now, just because things announced themselves as in need of repair
Doesn't mean that it's you, right then and there that should repair them
You have to have some humility (Bucko)
You don't walk up to a helicopter that isn't working and just start tinkering away with it
You have to stay within your domain of competence

Fix it, fix it, fix It
Let’s see if you can fix it
Fix it, fix it, fix it
Let’s see if you can fix it

I like the idea of the room because you can do that at the drop of a hat
Go back to where you live and sit down and think, "Okay, I'm gonna make this place better for half an hour. What should I do?”
And you have to ask and things will just pop up like mad, and it's partly because your mind is a very strange thing, as soon as you give it an aim, a genuine aim, it'll reconfigure the world in keeping with that aim
Be careful what you aim at (Bucko)
What you aim at determines the way the world manifests itself to you
And so if the world is manifesting itself in a very negative way, one thing to ask is are you aiming at the right thing?
You know, I'm not trying to reduce everybody's problems to an improper aim
People get cut off at the knees for all sorts of reasons
There's a random element to being that's for sure
Things do happen to people
But it's still a great thing to ask
