Well done, really! Keep going 😊

If you want to master a habit, the key is to start with repetition, not perfection. You don’t need to map out every feature of a new habit. You just need to practice it. This is the first takeaway of the 3rd Law: from Atomic Habits

[@kgpgirish49]

Super bro

[@---GOD---]

Yeah, the best thing you can do is just start.

[@riccardoronco627]

Bruce Lee said... I do not fear the man that knows 10,000 moves but I fear that has practiced 10,000 times the same move

I switched from watching all the details about this horrific murder in Idaho to watching your channel and I cannot thank you enough for switching my mindset to a more positive outlook I was staying up most nights, terrifying that some stranger was gonna walk in my door and murder me and my family and now I am back to myself or feeling more like myself so thank you!!!

[@missheju169]

8:21 It takes 21 days to form a habit and 28 to keep it. But the difficulty is not the motivation The strength is the discipline You don't need a exact moment to start. You just need to start. Start small and repeat.

Gave you may not have graduated high school but your level of Intelligence And emotional intelligence is beyond genius. I have ADHD and series executive dysfunction And I have learned so much from you and continue to learn I got excited when I saw you were covering James clear atomic habits and I just wanted to say thank you because your videos are changing my entire life. I’m actually crying right now as I write this you’ve been such an impact on me

[@GabeBult]

That’s awesome to hear I really appreciate it

[@aimeemariefournier1013]

Thank you Gabe!

[@gingermonette7455]

Him not graduating HS is a good lesson-- Society places HUGE emphasis on academic performance. I wonder how many rock stars were 'failures' in school? Or those with gifts of compassion? Clearly Gabe is not a failure either. We need to rethink our expectations of success for our young people.

[@zukielife]

I too have ADHD . Thank you for sharing this!

[@dru2506]

Initially I had a hard time watching your videos because I'm super unhappy with parts of my life. I've gotten over that (mostly) and you are inspiring me to do better and that the future can be brighter.

[@rebeccagrace1509]

I have found having coffee w God every morning is Fantastic🥰.. AND... when everything is a mess... Always start putting the Focus on your Health FIRST... it's the #1 thing we have TOTAL control over... AND it totally helps all other areas fall into place🤩 when we feel better and think better... we are STRONGER to make necessary changes and better able to handle the stress of things we can not.

[@janfastert7489]

Go for a walk in the morning. You can talk to God Each day I think of a positive word to focus on. Example believe, love, peace then I write the word on a paper so during the day I look at the word and focus on it.

[@---GOD---]

Meditate or do some yoga (real yoga, not some kinda of "stretch in weird positions with your dog" Westernized yoga) Also, another great YT channel you should check out is Cole Hastings. A lot of his stuff is speaking towards men but most of it can apply to women as well.

[@amberdeterman5815]

My oldest daughter graduated high school last month. One of her friends moms bought all the kids this book.

[@thebusybees2006]

That was a nice gift

[@DucatiKozak]

Gosh, I was so happy that little fuzzy finally jumped ship at 8:21! 😝 Now I can rewind and rewatch the video and learn something instead of watching it for 2+ minutes! 🧐

[@amysho2192]

Love that book! One of my habits is--trying to actually finish what I start. Started Atomic Habits about a year ago, and although I LOVE it, I haven't gotten through it yet. Still trying though! I keep it on my nightstand by my bed. 🤣 Borrowed it from a friend --I started reading when I was housesitting for them and they don't have wi-fi. Or cell reception. Gonna house sit for a week this Saturday so I just might finally finish it! And leave it there. One year later. My smartphone distracts me too much at home.

[@davestagner]

Atomic Habits would tell you to read a chapter (they’re short!) every day, until the book is done. You don’t need to read the book; you just need to read a chapter. Every day. (And when you’re done with it, start another book!) To deal with your smartphone’s distraction, try something like removing the apps that distract you. I cut way back on social media by removing FB/Twitter from my phone. Or better yet, put your phone somewhere not within immediate reach! If you have to stand up to get it every time you want your phone, you’ll use it less (“Make it difficult”).

“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” I like this principle. This book goes great with that mindfulness workbook called 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels. Being mindful and setting good habits is paramount.

[@darleneatkinson6730]

Hi Gabe, I have broken the chain of eating out have not done that since 2015 which is 7 years now. I do not even miss getting food at fast food places once a person changes that eating habit it can be a life changing and never want to pick that up again of a course it helps not to hang around people who are addicted to going too fast-food places. I am working on myself to do thinks to keep my house cleaner I been doing declutter for about 10 years now, and my place feels so much better now. I never heard of the book Atonic Habits. Thank you, for your video on Atomic Habits and making it super clear to grasp what you are saying in your videos, I been practicing writing clearing and be more specific. Keep up with great clear videos.

[@TokyoBlue587]

Atomic Habits is the best book on habits that I have ever read. I also highly recommend the author James Clear’s newsletter, with lots of inspirational ideas, quotes and more stuff about habits.

[@countdown.moments]

It has worked so well for me that I decided to create a channel around it. I create timers that help keep track of time and maintain our daily habits. This book has been an inspiration.

[@bkelly9997]

I absolutely loved this video! I have the audio book of Atomic Habits. I feel this video compliments it well. Thank you for making this video!

[@jokster4409]

This is an awesome video! Ty. I wrote down which classes I'm taking at the gym each week to get specific, I also noticed in my thinking that McDonald's is such a minuscule decision for a drink at the moment, but that tiny little thought can turn into a meal and a habit easily!

[@Tofushoots]

I'm currently reading that book right now. I've been highlighting things to go back to and re read over again.

[@ethyleneethylene5]

I feel satisfied every time you share idea’s. I’m in now. Thanks so much!

[@lisalamphier1410]

This is such important advise but of course few will follow it. It's fun to declutter and diet and dive into new projects. Not so fun to stop buying stuff, being the boring person who eats healthy, and taking the small steps forward. Here's another one from my hero Don Aslett. Set a standard, not a schedule. I live in a clean house vs. I clean on Tuesday.

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

It’s full on, but it kinda does resonate with why we ‘fail’ at resolutions etc. interesting that Atomic Habits is such a mega seller.

[@GabeBult]

I like it!

[@bria2596]

I love Don Aslett! Thanks for mentioning his work.

[@markymarker52]

I got excited because I think I just saw a whole line of Hardy Boys books on your shelf. I just want to share that your shooting/filming style is really refreshing. Thank you for putting so much effort in making these videos. It really shows and it makes a difference.

[@LorreneRomanic]

I love Atomic Habits! I think Habit Stacking is one of my favorite take-aways from that book. It really works for me!

[@thebusybees2006]

Thank you! “Never miss twice “ Mind blowing !

You watch the minimal mom! She got me on the road to minimalism then I found your channel amongst others! 😁

[@rye11839]

I just started following you and I love how much you cover and how it's all positive and easy to do. I appreciate you

[@jonasherman9195]

Amazing video! Probably the most life changing book I have read so far. Also, an important part of building habits according to me is to do 1 at a time. In the beginning I tried to make the perfect day from day 1 but you can't change your life in 1 day. Start with habits 1 at a time!

[@tallyp.7643]

this sounds like a book I need (of course, I tell myself that with EVERY book I buy, but yeah, that's something else to work on). I am an over-planner and careful to-do list writer who can't seem to get to actually doing what's on the list. And combine that with an "all or nothing' way of thinking and cue shooting yourself in the foot repeatedly. I'm taking the weekend to clean as much as I can and make a clean slate (or at least FAR cleaner one) to actually be able to create better habits. It's "the doing" that stops me. And every time I get geared up and ready, I get sick, or someone has a problem, and all my plans go by the wayside. Self-sabotage sucks, and expecting perfection too soon is a recipe for disappointment. Yeah, definitely gonna get this one now. It'll be one of the first I read for the new year.

[@Sunshine-fy4fz]

I just got this book!! It was recommended, and I'm excited to read this - especially after watching/listening to you talk about how this book made a positive impact on you. Thanks for sharing!

[@ginnyberg9271]

My new habit needs to be watch this video everyday until I get all this ideas memorized and do them. I love it not a goal a habit. One of your best videos

[@danikeebler1662]

Food/exercise/health care up several times. I would love to go plant based. Right now I am my 87 y/o father's caretaker. He eats like a five year old. It puts me in situations that I know I should not do. It also shames me to shop for him. If it was not for him, I would never visit a food vendor that involves a window and a speaker. I have not been able to figure out a system to get both of us fed doing completely different food plans. The gym taunts me every time I drive past it on my way to my dad's house.

[@GabeBult]

Did anybody else noticed that spec of ceiling in my hair? I almost reshot half the video because of that.

[@Dawnray1000]

I was wondering what that was! I also wondered if you were tempted to re shoot.

[@salvatoreocello]

I have organically learned to do this stuff and I’m not saying that to sound uppity, but because I’ve never heard anyone articulate the ideas the same way and it’s nice to find some ~community~

[@MarisaAndChew]

I take meds for PTSD. If there is junk I'll get up and binge on it in the night and not even remember it! If there isn't junk around I sleep! It's such a weird thing that my subconscious clearly knows there is junk around! When I cut out juice and soda years ago I decided that I was going to drink at least half my water each day before I could have this sweet treat, I naturally quit wanting juice and soda and easily drink 8 chips of water daily without even thinking about it now. I have a cup of water before my feet even hit the floor in the morning. It's great to naturally just not want the extra calories in juice and soda. I lost 70lbs by not buying the food that I'll binge on in the night and by making water a priority!

Great video... Great humour too.

[@shellc3509]

[@tara5075]

I recently read Atomic Habits and I think it’s great! I’m glad you made this vid to help motivate me to implement new systems. My greatest issue is with tracking though. How do you track them? Notebooks, apps? Could you please elaborate what you use and how you use them, thankuuuu! 😊

[@GabeBult]

Putting something together on that soon!

[@Juliusceasarmusic]

i've read the book too and i'm almost done reading it (reading it for like 2 months because i read chapter by chapter then stop and summarise then i try to implement it in my own life) i basically just put a habit tracker paper on my wall so i can see it everytime and get motivated by ticking it by completing the habit. if i see a day unmarked (because life gets in the way), i must complete the habit the next day because if not the habit your building will get derailed

[@Oakcitymedia]

James Clear has a habit tracker book, or you can print out and keep it in sight.

[@conditiae3771]

I use an app called Loop Habit Tracker which is very simple and no-frills. It also seems to have no commercial side to it - no ads. It does the job perfectly for me.

[@parkerrose3590]

I'm expecting my copy of Atomic Habits in the mail tomorrow! I can't wait to read it. I've been trying to make "good" habits everyday. I do read at least 50 pages of a book a day. Sometimes in the morning, sometimes at night. I stopped drinking soda about 10 years ago, now if I drink some it tastes awful to me. Is it easier to start good habits, or stop bad ones? Don't ask me to give up ice cream, because that's one thing I love too much!!

There is just one word that destroys any attempts to do anythings - consistency. I am literally unable to be consistent with anything, and that is my life's biggest tragedy. No creating habits videos help, no books, no good advice, no therapy, no pills. I've tried it all. Nada. I'm out of ideas. So while I love all that you speak off, I can only say, I envy you for being able to pull through. I just wonder...is there anyone else as lost and tired of trying?
