"I Guarantee Your Behavior Will Change" | TRY IT!

We always work for better , tomorrow But , when tomorrow comes Instead of enjoying tomorrow, we again Think of better , tomorrow Let's have a better today

“The hardest part, is starting”- idk where I heard it but I live by that. Hope it effects you.

Video starts at 8:27. To anyone in a rush or low attention spans, the main meat of this is to before you give into an urge you are trying to quit or dislike, wait ten minutes and think and discuss with yourself why you are doing this and what is making you feel this way, the emotional triggers that made you feel like doing the urge will fade away. It's a bit similar to "activating sage mode" if you know what I mean, but it kind of forces it out by taking a step back for ten minutes and observing, questioning and fulling absorbing what you are about to do, like pausing a game.

How have I never realized until now that the opposite of distraction is traction? This man is a genius!

"Anything that solves pain is addicting in nature" is absolutely true. Hands down.

This is literally the BEST information I've ever heard on distraction and addiction. I am beyond grateful for YouTube's algorithm right now. Lol

Me: *Has work * Also me: Let me quickly watch 10 more motivational videos on how to beat procrastination

This way of thinking has “cured” my self harm addiction. When the urges came I told myself “I’ll do it tomorrow” not counting the days just “tomorrow”

I employed a version of this when I quit smoking (cold turkey). I used a little mantra 'urges come & urges go' that was embedded in my 'heart'. When the urge hit it triggered that mantra (which is basically wait 10 minutes) & it worked every time & never another puff for 8 yrs so far. A form of this also worked when I lost 80 lbs 9 yrs ago & the weight never came back. I didn't go on a diet I changed my diet thus my thinking. That grey computer tween our ears is amazingly programmable if you want it to be.

"We are slaves to the urgent at the sacrifice of the important." I felt that

9 out of 10 people in the montage: Looking off sadly into the distance and reflecting on the self-improvement videos on YouTube.

"When you're lonely, check facebook." And feel even more lonely because everyone else is starting families, and you're still struggling to figure out where you're supposed to be and who you are in this universe

Took him so long to get to the point that I got distracted and didn't catch the solution. Going to have to watch it again.

Let yourself be comfortable outside your comfort zone.

They did a study on mice and found that when a mouse was devoid of dopamine altogether, the mouse would literally just sit there until it died. It wouldn’t eat even when food was right beside it. It wouldn’t do anything. And in this age of technology which perpetuates increasingly dramatic dopamine addictions I think it’s vital we know about these kinds of things. There’s also a term (can’t remember what it’s called) but it’s when you repeatedly get on technology for extended periods of times over and over, and eventually you can’t get adequate dopamine responses from normal things. So you’re sort of numb to the world, and you do not find pleasure in normal things in life. Pretty scary stuff. Also one more dopamine fun fact : when you do something that gives you a dopamine response your neuro-connections for the actions you took preceding the dopamine response are reinforced based on the amount of dopamine released, and the actions you took closest to that dopamine response are reinforced more so than previous ones. So with any kind of addiction, the actions you’re taking leading up to and including the dopamine response , the more you’re literally hardwired to have these eventually become so fundamental to your core that it feels instinctual. This is a MAJOR reason drug addiction (or any addiction) is so devastating. (I’ve been clean 3 years now so I know first hand)

Me seeing thumbnail: "hey I'm a smoker and I'm lazy"

I like this line " we are slaves of the urgent at the cost of important ".

Most people won’t even realize this, but in these 10 minutes he spoke in this video, he told you more information about general mentality and mindset than you even realized. It’s also the same thing how depressions, social anxiety and sadness works. None of that is real, it’s just in our head, it’s in our head because the human drives set us all these things in our head that make us feel uncomfortable, depressed etc.. it’s our job to clear our mind and manifest things into it what we want to achieve and who we want to become. Once you realize the bigger picture, you’ll wonder why people even suffer things like that and you wonder if something is wrong with you. Till you realize that 90% of people aren’t able to control there mind and are manipulating themselves.. it’s hard to help people like that I always try but that’s something that you have to find out yourself in order to really realize.. anybody else ?

It all boils down to what my dad taught me and I taught my kids.. Discipline.. a disciplined mind can do anything.. (Respect, a respectful person will gain respect.. Then a positive mental attitude, which will help make you a happy person and finally leave them laughing.. Leave a person with a smile on there face and leave them in a better place then you found them)

I only picked this up which is enough: "Getting ahead in life is not just about doing the right thing. It about avoiding or not doing the wrong things".
