Digital Art Heist: My NFTs Got Stolen 😭

About this video

Shaan and guest Ben Levy respond to a listener whose NFTs were stolen, offering advice on processing setbacks through mindset and storytelling. They discuss separating emotional reactions from chosen responses, reframing adversity as opportunity, and a practical technique for containing suffering to 90 seconds rather than letting it derail your day or week.

Key takeaways

• Distinguish between reacting (impulsive, emotional) and responding (deliberate, chosen) to setbacks—pause before acting to give yourself agency
• In any difficult situation, multiple stories exist; choose the version that makes you feel good rather than defaulting to the one that makes you feel worse
• Use the ‘90 seconds of suffering’ technique: give yourself a time-boxed window to feel the emotion fully, then deliberately shift your narrative and move forward
• View yourself as responsible for what happens to you rather than playing victim; this mindset preserves your power to improve situations
• Adversity and setbacks are often hidden opportunities—document highs and lows to see patterns and recognize that past disasters became footnotes in a larger growth story
