I’m 30 and have worked at the same toxic maintenance job for 8 years. The pay and healthcare is okay but the environment has only gotten worse. My plan is to use my 3 weeks of vacation before the end of this year and quit in the Spring. I’ll have to curtail spending and find part time work but I have money saved and no debt. I’m over this crap!

Needed to hear this tonight, I have to be kinder to myself and stop dragging myself down for not «measuring up» to what I have previously been. I need to be me, not what I was.

I always track my macros but I was into competitive bodybuilding for a long time and im a personal trainer. You do need some information to get your macros right. Weight and body fat percentage. You can get w body scan at most supplement stores or a gym.

What do I do if I've completely lost my motivation to work? I don't want any job. I don't want to waste my life working. I just want to live my life, but I'm forced to do some meaningless job just to make a mediocre amount of money, just so I can have permission to live. It's demoralizing. What can I do?

7:44 "there really is no excuse to not finding success" Oh, you're one of *_those._* Welp, thanks for wasting my time, pseudo-hustle culture guy.

started phase 1 today, however it says 8 critical tasks for me?

My husband has the same Stanley thermos😅It's massive

Part of my overthinking comes from fear of regretting a decision. So in my mind if I think of all the ways things could go wrong or all the pitfalls before doing it I’m protecting myself, but really it’s just a way to never start. I heard about 75 hard then started the next day, I’m over a week in and I’ve had to start over because of the minute details that aren’t in the original podcast but are on his website, like you can’t break up your 45 min workout or you can’t add anything to the water, but I’m still going. Found your channel because of it. Thanks for the info.

Good video. I went from feeling ill about 4 months ago. I started slowing down at work since we haven’t had any projects and I don’t foresee any that would be challenging or fulfilling. Of course due to my slowing down due to health concerns my company started focusing on my performance and put me on a PIP. I’m 49 and don’t have anything lined up yet but I’m resigning tomorrow and I’m starting to feel better already. Wish me luck :)

Thank you, this was very helpful.

Thank you so much.

This hits home for me lately too… I’ve been reminded a lot that when we become Christian (fairly recent for me), life gets harder in some respects because you’re not making it easy for the devil anymore. You’re a formidable enemy now that you belong to God. I’ve experienced a new level of peace and contentment on some days but also unreal spiritual attacks on other days. I guess I’m worth fighting now 😂 Definitely in continual prayer & journaling to weather the storms. Thanks for sharing!

I love this… thanks for sharing Nick! So weird I came across your video because I was in the CrossFit space for awhile myself - owned a couple of gyms. Didn’t grow up an athlete like you, but was in the space long enough to identify with it from an athletic and professional level. I started to deal with fatigue and other odd health issues that made me take a step back completely. I miss who I was physically, but I keep telling myself that even though I don’t know who I am or where I’m going, the “good ol days” don’t have to be behind me. I don’t know what’s next, and what level of fitness needs to keep being part of my journey in the future… but either way I really appreciate your perspective. If you can have been at the Games level and still found your way back as a different athlete/member, then maybe there’s a chance I can redefine myself if I go back without feeling like I need to meet standards again. I just figured the temptation to fall back to my old ways and be driven by ego would be too big that I should probably find a new fitness outlet altogether. Anyway, looking forward to checking out your other content!

Now he sleeps under a bridge at night.

Quit my job to start my own venture. It's been eye opening as to how much I can grow as a person by putting myself in a new mind set.

I just started phase one and I will say I enjoy the cold showers right after my workouts

I'd say continue to job hunt as if you don't have a job during your first 90-100 days. It can take weeks or even months for an employer to respond to your application whereas it can only take a few days to determine if you can see yourself in your current role on day 91 or 101.

Very helpful video. I finished 75 hard a week ago and starting phase 1 in 2 days. Much appreciated. 👍

Bro, you broke a little bone in your body and that’s all it takes for you to lose your identity? And I’m here struggling trying to find out who my father is who my grandfather is why was I abandoned as a kid? Why was I raised in several different household by people who aren’t in my parents? Not knowing what my ethnicity/racial background is. Ect!

Self pity and using it as a manipulation

Thank you

On day 2. Tried last year and failed, but I feel that I'm ready and capable this time around.

I wonder, are North Americans aware that very little of the rest of the world, apart from maybe parts of Africa, have this view of Christianity. Most of the world is not evangelical and never speaks of spiritual warfare - it’s a thing that existed in Europe with the puritans and found itself in America with the pilgrims at which point it died out in Europe. There has been a minor revival but most of the world feels very uneasy with evangelicalism. In a secular society religion is a private matter for families and private time - not something to declare in schools and elections.

Watch CGP Grey’s excellent video on yearly themes. 😍

Just quit my job to start social media and other side business ventures! I’m tired of not living my life how I want to. Good luck to everyone out there on a similar journey! You’ve got this 💪🏽

In in day one . I did it 2 years ago and loved it. Doing it again.

How tall are you?

I quit my job in oct 2022. Started actively applying again in spring 2023. Still working on finding a job and supporting myself through doordash/uber eats/etc but still covering my bills and chuggin along 👍

I got a divorce after 42 years. I've been on my own for little over year. I'm at a lost I dont even know what I like to eat or cook. I've been taking care of someone else that I don't know who I am any more

Nick, I appreciate you and this video you have created.

Absolutely and utterly goldmine of a video. So much value and insight gained here, I'm honestly surprised and shocked that you only have 2.62k subscribers and this video only had 3.4k views. When I was about to finish the video, I was expecting to see millions of views from a really large youtuber judging by the quality of this video, but no it caught me off guard. Great work Nick, I really love this topic and I hate how it's so unspoken of and not very talked about these days. It's a mindset I also just recently discovered that I had and that I've been applying this "Toxic" champion mindset into various aspects of my own life (Like work, sports, some forms and aspects of business) and just all around getting used to others not liking me due to me utterly and absolutely wanting to win at all costs and mercilessly dominating my competition. God bless you brother. 🔥

I was always told getting a college degree will open more opportunities! Well, yeah sure, but they are shit jobs that require hard work, debt, and a piece of paper that states, yes, I can do this shit job that a HS graduate or dropout could do.

Nice guys often use covert contracts, expecting unspoken agreements to be reciprocated. True kindness doesn't come with strings attached. Be direct and genuine in your intentions!

Love it

nice content

Nice video- something I’ve been thinking about - I started on Feb 1 finished 75 hard and immediately began phase 1 done with phase 1 now- if I start phase 2 in 30 days it will put me done with it before end of July - leaving me August September October November and December - 5 full months before I can start phase 3 to finish for the year- seems a bit stretched out .. any thoughts?

Great content brother👌 Is there anyway i could get your email? Would love your send you a proposal!

I love how vulnerable you are in this video! Having these discussions out loud with others helps us work through difficult seasons :)

Great video, Nick. Best one yet.

First time here! I was not expecting that to happen to your mentor friend 😢. Beautiful how through that circumstance you found The Way, Truth & Light 🙏🏿.

My Dream is to run at marathons but I have a lot of work to do to get there. Right now, my joints are screaming at walking which I do at 35 minutes per day as I live in the Caribbean and I travel via public commute and walking. But I notice a lot of videos where they are saying the ideal way to get back in shape over 50 is doing strength training, I would love to give that a shot someday. But share with us as best as possible, I could use a few tips from it as I get on this journey. Awesome video.

I Lost my mum in 2022. Talk about anger and hate, that's what I felt when it came to hearing about prayer and God. She would read her bible and pray every night before bed as her way of worshipping him, and I could not understand why he had to take her from me and even to this day I still don't understand. But I found myself running back to him since last year, praying and listening to songs that make me feel at peace spiritually. when I am going through my worst and even happiest moments, I would say to myself, I couldn't do this or get through this without you (God). So Thank you, this is an Amazing video.

Loving this Spiritual direction. Keep it up, the world needs to hear the Good news.

I hope this video gets millions of views, bc it's on point !!

Going to watch this full video now

Great work on the thumbnail brother. And I’m with you. Matrix programming. 😢. When they seek God & Jesus their minds will return

Facts! Everything you said, and add in lack of confidence/trust in our self. It's easy to get lost in the group. And often asking questions is shunned so we just comform then the need and wanting to belong to a group. As we go everything is sped up. We forget to slow down. Our attention span is so is so short. And we make way more decisions during a day than past generations. It's crazy. Good video

Omg! I remember when you started your YT channel about 3 yes ago!. I subscribed because I KNEW you'd do great and wanted to witness your journey. Here you are, with a super successful channel. Great job!!!!!!
