Quitting drinking was the best thing I've ever done. Used to drink daily and it was a problem. Sober now for 2 years and I have accomplished more in that time than the previous 10, including starting my KZbin channel, among other things.

[@Introvertedalpha]

That's awesome!

[@arloroth5545]

Proud of you! Hope to join you this year in sobriety! I just want energy again lol

Are you still missing other people's lives up are you still a traitor betray those who love you and care over some cat scratch fever

'Confidence comes from integrity.' -- love this quote!

[@14mrb67]

50 cent has an awesome quote about confidence : I had to convince myself that I’m going to make it, regardless of how people felt at that time. But what it does is it makes you feel like - well, it made me feel like there’s going to be parts that people are going to mistake my confidence for arrogance. Because I’ve had to, they don’t understand the process I went through and how much I had to believe in myself in order to make these things happen

[@Introvertedalpha]

@@14mrb67 Thank you so much for sharing that with me!

[@nadiaprivalikhina]

When I watch those habits videos, I start to doubt myself. I don't drink alcohol for many years, yet it only made it harder to connect with people. I've been journaling for 3 or 4 years, but the only result I got is that I unlearned to think without a pen and paper. Every time I have some thoughts during a walk, I feel the urge to take out my phone and put those thoughts there and transfer them later into my journals. I've been reading for the same amount of time, got plenty of knowledge, and expanded my horizons, but it didn't improve my life. Looking at my banking account and investments every day didn't affect my net worth, it only distracted me and brought anxiety into my life. I'm happy if those small habits help someone, but I cannot imagine they help you to be really happy and bring actual changes. Changes happen when you put in work, effort and focus. Focus not on the number of followers, but rather on your daily actions. Numbers, as I've said, will make you anxious.

[@santrammeena3]

I've wondered about the same! Like what really counts when one attempts to adopt a particular behaviour or habit. Journaling and stacking your thoughts together only paint half a picture. what the other half is, varies from person to person, which is also sadly much less talked about in the self help realm.

[@TheBruceKeller]

Drank to the point of getting drunk for 20 years daily. Was basically on cruise control. Quit 2 years ago and it did take a good year to get rid of all the bad habits I had developed while drinking, but the last year has really been turbocharged. It's never too late! My only regret is that I wasn't feeling like this for the 20 years prior... don't miss it AT ALL.

[@christinaferreira9649]

Yes! Being sober has added so many positives to my life. And at the 3-4 month mark I felt INSANE as my body and mind really acclimated to it. Now I’m almost 2 years in and I wouldn’t trade it for anything❤

Thank you so much for highlighting the influence alcohol has over us. Eliminating mind altering chemicals from our routine is one of the most life-changing things we can do - you have said it better than any therapist!

[@bluestrife28]

It’s so true about the alcohol. I quit six months ago, everything went up….the holidays was my first test and I didn’t pass but I learned something….I really hate alcohol. The damage both physical and interpersonal, some irreparable….the entire dryness inside my head, throat, and mind….if you can get off it get off it, drinking one night made me feel that all the progress I’d made was nothing overnight …. I can’t wait for feeling better tomorrow.

[@kkd2218]

At a very young age I decided to walk down a different path than the alcoholics I grew up around. I have never had a drink in my 51 years of life. 💗

[@pinecone1321]

I stopped the body eating spirit aug 1 2018. I went from size 20 to a size 10. I love mornings and about year 3, I started loving being sober. My social life tanked which forced me to a self discovery quest. So thankful that I have been given a chance to succeed without alcohol. Now Caffeine is a different story.☕

[@TheProductivityCenter]

Killer line! "Where your focus goes your energy will flow"🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Becoming0ne]

I’ve never had a drink of alcohol in my life. It has no influence over me whatsoever and I like it that way. I colour in on my ipad while I listen to audio books - it is hands down the best way to get the same effects as meditation but super easy, enjoyable and educational! It calms my mind and nervous system so well, I can’t recommend it enough.

[@wesleybeke2411]

I have just quit smoking weed/drinking for the last 2 months and tbh I feel so much better in general. Not just physically but mentally as well. Definitely sticking with quitting all the substance abuse (it feels weird to say but I mean that's basically what it was). Used to smoke weed on a daily basis for the last 4/5 years and drink heavily almost every weekend. Sometimes it's harder than other times, but I just keep thinking of the benefits I get from not abusing that crap anymore. Can definitely agree with this amazing habit

[@shailynnicole]

I also have a difficult time focusing while reading/listening to audible. I love the tips you give! One thing I do to help me while listening to audible is speed up the narration. I'm more aware that I need to focus or else I'll miss what they're saying. It also makes me feel better when the length of time of the book is shortened.

[@stevewesner4719]

Autobiography of a Yogi!!! Definitely one of the best books I've ever listened to. Mind BLOWING!

[@adalke7520]

SMART goals are a great example of measuring. You can implement them everywhere. I put a page or chapter goal everyday and track how far I am from finishing the book. It is amazing how fast you can accomplish things once you measure your progress. Nice video

[@wilbrumms2192]

Stopped 12/26, agree 100%. So much of what you mentioned about going dry I can relate to. Thanks

[@abbyblueco]

Over the weekend, I finally decided it is time to begin a 30-day no-alcohol detox. I am hoping I build the habit and continue doing this. I am sick of the endless negative effects of alcohol. These days, I haven't even been enjoying it when I do as I know it doesn't align with who I want to be. There is no more reward. I am happy I saw this today. Every single one of your points aligns with how I have been feeling and why I'd like to make the change. So excited for this!

[@JonJosephKuhn]

I quit drinking on January 1 of this year. I tried to quit a dozen times before this year. I promise you it's worth it. If you fail, dust yourself off, get back up and go back out there and try again. You're worth it.

[@demodemi32]

Love the audible tip to listen while doing another activity as well! Very productive but relaxing as well 🙂👍🏻

[@SpiritPhoenixRose]

What gets measured, gets managed: 💡 I can check daily word counts! 😄 Currently reading this book on Kaizen called One Small Step Can Change Your Life and started daily writing habit with the goal of just one sentence a day. Robert Maurer PHD explains that ridiculously tiny goals bypass the amygdala so the flight or fight response doesn't kick in, so you don't freeze up or make excuses. And it's working! I get into that flow state and end up writing way more, but Idk how much. So this is a thing I can definitely do to start competing with myself! 😆 Thanks, Clark

[@henri8168]

Surprised about the puzzles and listening an audiobook at the same time. Can't wait to try it out!

[@KS-nm6rt]

I only remember one phrase from Latin class in high school (some 20 odd years ago) and it's - Qui scribit bis discit. It translates to "The one who writes reads twice" or as I remember it - "He who writes down learns twice". So whenever I read something non-fiction I always takes notes, even just keynotes, and it'll truly make you remember what you've read (it's kinda of a no-brainer when you think about it). So put away the highlighter and start writing stuff down:)

[@jarkmann3977]

I am the same. I did write notes on this information on my phone's note pad. I always by copying the training video so if I missed anything I can recap. I wrote everything down

[@skech_one149]

Cool I will try to follow this concept

[@Tinyteacher1111]

I used to teach reading, and you’re absolutely right. If you read something twice (and you should ALWAYS read poetry at least twice!), the knowledge sinks in!!

[@dakuji3262]

Love the puzzle idea. I have audible and love puzzles. Bam! That works.

[@sakhile6460]

You basically confirm so many things I've thought might be true

[@megpen97]

I just started listening to self-help audiobooks recently in place of the podcasts I would listen to (I still listen to a couple podcasts for fun but like one day out of the week). I usually listen to them while washing dishes, folding clothes, etc as a way of both distracting from the more monotonous tasks and fulfilling my desire to read/gain knowledge from books on a daily basis. It's really a good system for me personally because I'm doing something I enjoy while doing something that tends to be more difficult for me. And the tasks at hand are mindless enough to still focus on the book.

[@megpen97]

As an ADHD person, I find it really hard to do stuff like playing video games or things that require more brain activity while trying to listen to something and retain information! But that's cool that you can do both!

[@hannahgohya]

one of my favourite ‘habits’ video in a long time.

[@geniusmma]

[@wdrdchannel1360]

Man, I have just watched one of your videos. It has already changed my life. Thank you.

[@kennyded]

I find belief can go a long way and it's why I honestly believe telling yourself positive things you will adopt those traits. I see it as a self hypnosis process and I myself tried this method tricking my mind into believing these things. Your reality gets so distorted if you don't try to embody those traits that your preaching to yourself but in all honesty the experience was eye opening.

[@MetalBere]

I quit drinking 3 weeks ago. I started drinking when i was 16, now i'm 41. I'm trying to be healthier in other areas too. I feel better and sleep better 😊

[@tianasexotics8293]

I never super enjoyed drinking, I'm only 21, started at 18 ish. I quit completely after a visit with my mom where I was just pushed to drink the whole time and I felt awful. Dissociated, grumpy during the day before drinking. Watching how she struggles with money yet could afford so much alcohol. I haven't since, and don't want to ever again.

[@skech_one149]

[@FinancialFreedomMadeSimple]

Congrats on 1M followers!

[@Janine-vs-Hate]

Happy to hear, that I did well already for the last 10 years. 1. I don’t drink at all, because of meds and I hate the headache. 2. Started Journaling 2014 3. I listen to entertaining audiobooks (novels) or my favorite playlist only while doing household chores or walking, to motivate and reward myself. 4. Watching KZbin only while being on my elliptical. 5. Listening to educational audiobooks while doing puzzles on my tablet. Okay, not being into the metrics by now. But what I did years ago, when trying to walk more, I colored a square for every thousand steps and at the end of the week/month/year had a look where these steps would have brought me. I remember, that once I saw, that I walked from Bavaria, Germany to Croatia and I felt so proud and on top.

[@galaxychildeustass1210]

Hi ,Clark a long time ago you made a video on manifesting a text and I watched it yesterday tried it an I woke up with a phone from the person I did the exercise for and I subscribed and you seem to be legit so thank you

[@holeymcsockpuppet]

There's actually research showing that some people need to doodle while they listen in order to maximize retention of info. So his puzzle trick is gold for those types of people. It's not for everybody (doesn't help me, I absorb stuff like a sponge), but try it. It might help you.

[@anapoe9605]

I love listening to audio books while cooking or doing the chores or taking a shower

[@caratotherescue]

Great one! I could listen to your videos for hours

[@lolalola1352]

Omg the puzzle thing is SO relatable, I thought I was the only one! What you describe is ADHD 101 😂

[@Tinyteacher1111]

I listen to audiobooks when I drive a longer distance. I started it because I am a retired English teacher and had to prepare to teach a new book. Then, I got Sjogren’s and my eyes were so dry they ulcerated and I couldn’t read. I got Audible then. I love it.

My body quit drinking. Best thing I ever did. I only have one coffee a day now. No regrets and I avoid ppl who chastise me over it. I don’t explain or justify it to any one any more. I bought a soda maker for my soda water/ mineral water. Saved a tone!

Congrats on 1m followers! A milestone well earned! I appreciated this video for many reasons and agreed with all points, but especially kicking alcohol out of my life. One resource that made a huge difference for my sobriety was a podcast that helped me develop the mantra "Hangovers Suck!" and I listened to an episode each morning on my walk with the dogs. It's amazing how so many other aspects of my life became easier after developing sobriety. As always, thanks for the inspiration!!

[@MrRprice28]

[@Liahs333]

Thanks for the great advice. I haven’t had a drink since September 2017 and I’ve yet to meet anyone who wishes they were still drinking. Best decision I have ever made. I have better relationships and it would take a lot of money to ever go to work again hungover. The worst! 😵‍💫😵

I've been wanting to quit drinking recently but keep finding excuses. New people coming into my life and I need to be charismatic and outgoing so I drink to compensate. On a work trip and go out with the team. What can I do to start being sober and stay consistent?

[@user95395]

Get something that looks like booze, bitters and soda is very common for non drinkers. Still technically alcoholic but it's a literally a couple drops

[@pinecone1321]

You have to make a choice. The beginning is the hardest. For work social events go to it make an appearance and then make an excuse of why you have to leave and don't drink. Get a few successful non drinking events under your belt. Order non alcoholic drinks if you want but that's tough be around drinking in the start. Good Luck!

Alcohol didn’t come from the Arabic term for ‘body-eating spirit’. Al-Kuhl referred to a fine black powder (Kohl) used as a cosmetic.

[@EliasReda]

Listening to books while doing something else might get you distracted and not entirely focused on the book itself. While there are some books which can be listened to while doing something that doesn't require much focus and attention like dish-washing, there are books that will require your full attention. Reading a book is a marathon, both in length and knowledge. If you find yourself putting a book to the side after few pages and forgetting about it, you are either not interested, you are not knowledgeable about the topic, or the length of the book doesn't seem encouraging. I recommend reading shorter books and books which are introductory to certain subjects. If that's not easy, then I recommend that you read articles. Once you get used to the language and the chain of ideas, books will seem to be a little easier. Podcasts and video essays are still a great way to get yourself introduced to a certain subject, but books will always the best way to learn and to sharpen your brain. There is no way around that. Sitting in your desk and reading the book is the way to learn new things without an instructor, there is no way around it.
