If you are like most people, there is a gap between the person you are and the person you wish to be. There are little things you think you should do and big things you ought to achieve.
From working out regularly, eating healthy, learning a language, working on your novel, reading more or simply actually doing your hobby instead of browsing reddit.
But it can seem that to achieve your goals, you have to become a different person. Someone who is consistent, puts in more effort, has discipline and willpower. Maybe you have tried your hardest to be like that. And it worked! For a while. Until you find yourself slipping back into your old ways. In the end, you always seem to fail. And with every failed attempt, you become more and more frustrated and annoyed with yourself.
If you believe “success and hustle” internet, it is all your own fault: if you don't succeed, you just didn’t want it enough and the failure is all you. But change is actually hard. But as with most things in life, understanding why makes things easier.

One year after this video, I have actually started changing myself (started about 2 months ago) it's not a significant amount of change but it definitely it noticeable! and I am super proud of myself. Before I used to just sit around all day browsing youtube and reddit and discord and literally doing nothing. Now I'm actually doing my work on time and started studying a few days before exams. Can't wait to work hard and get even better!

Keep it up man! And never forget: if ever you stumble, just stand back up. Streaks can be motivating, but losing a streak can be disheartening and demotivating to start again. It's important to remind oneself: you're not starting again, you're still on the same path you were on before.

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

Regarding bad habits - like checking reddit/insta/anything - remember that you stand against whole teams that design this to be more time consuming, so try to avoid it but be understanding for yourself

Thank you so much for this video. Another way I do this is by looking at things like a privilege. I’m only 15 and I’m grateful for having more control over how my life is going to be, and I’m grateful to be young and in good shape. I’m also grateful for having opportunities to study and have access to basic needs, because I hear so many people aren’t fortunate enough to get those things, and really want it. Whenever I don’t make good use of an opportunity, or think of it negatively, I’d think of it as unfair as so many people would really want to be in my position right now, so I may as well make the best of it.

Nice ideas. Here are my four to add: 1. Remove boundaries to starting: if you're want to practise guitar more then leave it out and plugged in. Make it so you can just walk past, play for 5 mins then get on with something else. It has to be as easy as possible. 2. Become aware of the things that stop you - sometimes quite small random things, like the guitar is always out of tune (so buy a tuner), or the only time you get to practise everyone is already in bed (so use some headphones) or it's difficult to hold the guitar on your bed (so find a good chair and move it next to your amp) 3. Remove pressure - if you're doing it to be famous then you're always going to feel the pressure to achieve. You've got to do it primarily because you love it. 4. and this is key for me - Acknowledge you only have limited energy. It can feel like if you have 5 free hours then you can do one hour of guitar practise, an hour of exercise, an hour to read your book, an hour to cook, etc. But in reality each activity has not only a physical cost, but also a mental load. Acknowledge the mental load, then free yourself of it. If you have a stressful job then you probably won't do your hobby - the job has taken all your mental load and that is why you're watching Netflix for 5 hours. 5. You do not have to change the world. It's ok, there are already plenty of authors, musicians, entertainers, photographers, etc. You can just do this for fun. Just honestly and seriously, start from the position that the world does not need you to do this thing, and will not care if you never do it. And now just do it anyway - do it for yourself.

Regarding #4 if you take 10-20 naps or Meditations in-between what you are trying yo learn and during that time you think about your mistakes and how to do better and then imagine you doing it properly you will return with more energy without stopping your practice.

This is so motivational for me. I have been trying to explain this to family and friends who have negative thought patterns ingrained into their brains, I just never thought to try and find less intimidating ways to share the information. Telling them "Your actions to choose anger repeatedly has given aggression a deep groove within your neural pathways and so it's where you end up when reacting without thinking." seems like a lot to digest! This makes it easier and uses terms you don't have to be a psychology student to understand. I love seeing the good side of tech, the bright side of the internet. If you're not using it to better your life or propel yourself forward you're wasting it's resources.

Music can be streamed for free and also rented from the library.

The thing is, for any given small action to have a big impact, it is extremely rare, yes, turning left or right could impact your whole life, but that doesn't happen often. Time travelers knows exactly which moment it is because they've experienced the other option already and traced it back to that one point, but we now in the present don't know, and often it isn't worth it to do the extra thing just because it might impact your life one day.

@@YT_Is_Sesspit_Central It depends. Don't just blindly reach out and help everyone you see because that is a recipe for stretching yourself out. However there is sometimes in this world a time where a person close to you loses a bit of themselves for one reason or another. And that person will lose the will to live or the motivation to better themselves. If you truly care for this person it is your duty to reach out and give that your best effort to help them within your own means. Do not ever give more than you are comfortable with and if you have to push past that barrier at times make sure to find the time to set boundaries and establish communication about where those boundaries are with the person in question. Unfortunately yes you may start to see a pattern where this person you care about is blowing past your patience and then you may start to lose the ability to care. They may continually ask too much and go past the boundaries. And in these cases it may be a good time to reassess if the person you care about requires more help from an outside source. Another friend or family member maybe. And if in the end this person really can't help themselves like you first thought and has evidenced to hurt others and themselves without improvement and maybe even has slid backwards over time. perhaps that is the time to have an intervention to let them know explicitly where there problems are and how they negatively affecting others. You can provide avenues for help like therapists in the area or support groups. But then, With effort and communication and understanding you can responsibly cut them out of your life until they help themselves. Because then you will at least communicated the tools to help them fish for themselves. This is only if you initially believe in them and you believe in the long-term friendship or relationship. It truly is up to discretion but sometimes it is necessary to pull from within to help the ones we love. But we always have to do it responsibly.

Like they’ve mentioned, in order to change is by making little goals and little changes because your progress will accumulate over time through consistency. Just experiment and find out what works for you since it’s different with everyone. This is a really nice video.

As children we typically think MONEY is the most rare and important thing in life... As we age, we become wiser and realize TIME is more rare and important than money... When we gain wisdom though, we realize that MENTAL ENERGY is even more rare and valuable than time... This concept of a "Wise Planner" makes me think of that mental energy. We can't use the Wise Planner for everything all day long... so the idea of having too much on our plate and not enough routine habits to keep us balanced is a fascinating idea for sure! Another great video here... very much more uplifting and feel-good than many of your other (equally good) videos. I like it :)

Pretty accurate. I got into exercise by just automatically driving to the gym after work. Then I wouldn't let myself leave until I went in and did at least one exercise. Then afterwards, I was always like "well, I've already started, and I'd look silly if I left now... I may as well finish the whole workout". It still surprises me how effective that strategy was for me. It might not work for everyone, but I encourage giving it a try if you want to exercise regularly. And he's right. The first few weeks were miserable. Now, not getting my scheduled exercise in is miserable. The human brain is amazing.

I live an unhealthy lifestyle. (I turn my days and nights around, don't go outside, don't brush my teeth, etc.). I try to take action but always fail on the second day. And until today, I was at a loss. Then, as usual, I was browsing KZbin and found this video, watched it right away, and right after that, I wrote down a few things I wanted to make into habits. (Brush your teeth, exercise, etc.). Then, an hour later, I started doing one of those things. Then, to my surprise, I accomplished everything I had written on the list, even though I thought that if I could do even one of those things, I would have done well. I was amazed. It was so easy that it was ridiculous that I kept worrying about it. ...... I need to repeat it many more times to make it a habit, but I believe I can do it this time. Thanks, kurzgesagt!

The key is consistency early, because eventually the momentum flips it to where it sucks not to exercise.

I am now much better but like the video said change happens in small steps you can control. And you should be happy about them even if they seem small at first. Use all the time you need and be happy about the small things and when things are tough ask people around you for support as most of us are eager to help as we all have faced something that has been hard or taxing. Most of us want other people to succeed too and its as painful to experience those things yourself as it is to watch someone face their demons and challenges. Keep up people and dont let those setbacks slow you too much. Take your time and enjoy the little things this live has to offer. If you read all of this I wish a awesome day and to have the power to carry on. You are awesome always remember that.

I tricked myself into doing this stuff because I put music when I shower, so simply by opening the Spotify app I "trigger" the shower response, and I put video essays when I cook. So not only do I have the stimulation I need to not get distracted, but I also started looking forward to this stuff! I had no idea I could apply this stuff to other things, or that it was a known process. I wonder how I can implement it in more aspects of my life.

As a depressed individual I can vouch for the "triggers" and turning small routines into habits. A couple months back I started from fixing my sleep schedule and doing short walks 2-3 times a week. Now I don't really think of the walks as a chore but something I want to do and enjoy. Eventually that made me do longer walks, do them more frequently and even do a bit of running. I still have a long way to go but this is truly the first time in my life where I've been super motivated to change my habits and improve. As the video points out, the mental block is the hardest to overcome.

The hard part isn't starting a new habit - the hard part is dealing with everyday stresses that frustrate you and you fall back into the same habit that the everyday stresses probably turned you on to. Like comfort food stress eating. It's hard when you deal with the stresses day after day and you have few options to help you deal with them, and trying a new habit more often than nots put even more stress on you because it's not routine.

There must be a way to tackle this. Maybe practicing different coping mechanism then eating.

After using this for some time. Maybe ur brain will recognize better habits.

I didn't really have too many hobbies growing up other than watching stuff, gaming by myself (mostly) and browsing online and I feel like I'm still making up for all that time to learn things like guitar/ukulele and learning Spanish. Meditation and yoga I've picked up in recent years. Learning how to cook, regular exercise and reading come relatively naturally more and more. My mom, bless her heart, did her best to help take care of myself and my sisters but a bit too much where it was too comfortable (to put it without going into much detail). Now these last couple years I'm taking more and more of myself essentially by myself, it's gets hard to find a balance

4:22 "Habits are executed by an impulsive toddler" The comparison is true because just like Toddlers. Habits and Impulses can be tricked. An example of this is me saying "later" to my impulse instead of saying "no". The outright rejection will make The Toddler throw a tantrum in my brain. But stalling for time will eventually make The Toddler forget about the things it wanted to move on to other things that it also wanted so suddenly.

For those who want a deeper dive into this subject: I would strongly recommend you to read The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. It explains the different aspects of how habits form, incorporating willpower, cravings, and keystone habits. It also explains how we can change them and why we can't easily do so. Overall, this book really shows an in-depth analysis of habits and change!

The 2 minute rule is a great way to turn actions into habits. I always hated doing things like, emptying the bins, cleaning up and folding laundry but if you look at an undesirable action and assess that it would take 2 minutes or less to do, then just do it immediately. You'll find that you end up just doing those things out of habit after a while without it feeling like such a laborious chore.
