Motivation and Drive

Struggling with motivation. So i have to pull out the drive.
I will be making videos soon. Tutorials, workouts, stretch sessions, vlogs and all that. Thank you for everything you do for me guys!

[@Napoli85]

I really need to be more driven. I'm at such a low point in life and I know change is needed. Problem is, I know a change has been needed for years, and I yet to begin that journey.

[@davidcardinal3654]

Start small. Don’t take in too much. Starting new things is oftentimes very difficult unless life circumstances compel you to change. Little changes are easier to manage and overtime they will snowball. I know it’s a year late but I hope you are doing well in your journey.

@@davidcardinal3654 thanks dude! Life is totally different right now in a good way. I got a new job I've been at for a month and it's good money. I'll finally be able to live a normal financial life for the first time. Been dating a great girl for 2 months and it's going well. Things are looking up! Thanks for the kind words!

Thank you for doing the stretches on KZbin. It’s easier for me to follow along. Stretching is everything! Thank you for teaching us how to keep our bodies limber.

This video made me remember the times I’d hang out with my friends, climbing on top of counters and laying on the floor to talk about life. A simple and peaceful video. Thank you. Glad to be a part of the Flexy Gang.

Wow! Im not sure how i came across your channel but IM FEELING BLESSED THAT I DID! thank you so much for your creative content! You truly have a gift. Youre extremely easy to follow and you use direct simple statements to explain how our most complex & prized possession works: our physical bodies. Im impressed how easy you make it seem, and im definitely motivated by you!!❤❤❤ Cant wait to begin rebuilding the strength n flexibility ive lost ! Much love & light to you!!

[@InternetRando42]

Seeing this two years later, I see that Shorts format really works for your stuff so well. But the motivated/driven dichotomy is really helpful. Thanks.

[@closer.to.the.clouds]

Nice video! Needed to hear this as Im trying to build a routine in staying limber and flexible. My day job is very physically demanding and in the evenings all I wana do is chill, but in doing so I tend to stiffen up more then I kick myself for sitting on my butt. Once you get it started, its all worth it. Think the thought is the worst part.

[@allach_mclanlin]

Motivation has one chemical currency in the body, apparently, and that's dopamine level. Andrew Huberman's youtube talks on current Neuroscientific understanding of this- just mind-blowing & makes sense & I hope this helps, fam

[@MovementbyDavid]

Absolutely love the feedback, seriously thanks! And I LOVE the huberman podcast. But I wish I knew more about the dopaminergic system when I made this video! There as several things I’d like to add. I read Drive by Daniel H Pink and it really impacted me so that was the inspiration for this video!

[@Edyremoh]

I'm not on tikitok. You have reached me here because of your drive. Big subscribe, thanks for the highly encouraging videos.

[@garrettchristman425]

Love your videos, thanks for everything you do and put time into. Thank you for helping me achieve my goals and continue doing what makes you happy.

[@asuddenalex]

I really struggle with sustaining the drive to do things... in general. Like I know there are some things I *should* be doing (getting back to eating a healthier diet, back into the swing of things with exercise, etc) but I am not doing them at the moment. There are reasons but those are not relevant to this comment. I would like to thank you for your work. I often see your videos on Facebook reels (I had a hyperfixation with tt but it got to a "too much of a good thing" and I have barely opened it for the last year) and they are brilliant. You ooze positivity and the encouragement that you give people is fantastic.

[@jennyblairmcd]

Really appreciate you and your videos- wherever you post! Fwiw, I deleted TT bc I need to stay motivated to pass an exam. So glad you’re here! More content pls.

[@MarelleReid]

Thank you for making KZbin videos, David! Your content is very motivating :)

[@stephym179]

I’ve come from tic tok. Your videos are great! Id love to see your mobility routine, if you have one.

[@cartossin]

I've never stretched regularly enough to see a difference. My flexibility seems set in stone. My brain tells me that if I did it consistently enough it would do something, but I've just never gotten to that point. How do you stay motivated for however long it takes to see any difference (which presumably would be motivating).

[@Dannny0117]

Roof vibes i love it

[@vivisviv]

What you are showing us David is so excellent and it works so quickly… Thank you! 10, million hundred thousand times😅

[@gwentomlinson4205]

You keep being you! I am old enough to be your grandmother but because of you I am now motivated to get flexy and stay flexy

[@PBRAEF]

Man i so feel you on the roof thing, i've climbed on to my roof or in a tree for peace and calm in my head.

[@luvsmusicatnight]

I'm leaving TikTok and so happy to see you here!

[@thejiggler7780]

I loved to climb from the fence by our house onto the roof as a child at my great grandparents house, which of course nobody liked and i got yelled at, so seeing you just casually do it as an adult made me want to go out and sit on my roof

[@stephenjoyce1063]

This guy is so cool

[@Wholesome_Dungaree-Wearer]

it's super hard because like, I wanted to say "why would I do something I don't want to do unless I NEED to do it? Obviously it's not for me." But lack of motivation can make me not want to do things that I actually enjoy, or try new hobbies that I might enjoy, so yeah, I do gotta just actually do something instead of zoning out for hours. I guess like, when you're depressed it's hard to do literally anything and for me it's very easy to get used to just not trying, or not pushing myself, and I wanna do that less.

[@tonyburdick5512]

My motivation and drive go in cycles, though I rarely find myself sitting on the couch unless I'm tired (it seems a lot more lately). As for suggestions, perhaps you could set realistic expectations for us old timers. I haven't any idea of what I should expect from this tired, old body that has been pushed beyond the breaking point many times. Keep up the excellent videos. They are very informative.

[@eerielconstantine5051]

I struggle so much with motivation, especially with ADHD. I want to be driven, but I don’t know how to consistently get there yet!

[@Z5Z5Z5]

Damn wish this guy was my friend

[@geezlouise2788]

Hey David! I really love your content, I stretch fairly regularly but you always remind me to switch it up! :) Do you have any tips for stretching / improving hip mobility? It's one thing I really struggle with in my sport

[@stephaniesong3473]

What sports do you do?

[@centreforsustainableaction8956]

I need shoulder mobility and strength to play with my 3 year old!😝

[@asmrlover7767]

Can you show us your strength routine???

[@Stiksie]

ITS ABOUT DRIVE 🚘 ITS ABOUT POWER 💥 WE STAY HUNGRY 🤤 WE DEVOUR 🦷

[@claire3412]

More long videos (3-5mins) where we can stretch with you please :)

[@rivhaaken9763]

All about healing the wrists and train them in a healthy way would be amazing.

[@NazmushSakibAuntoo]

Do more of this please

[@earlebell9874]

I'm new to your videos. Is what that flag under the American flag Is it USMC flag?

[@earlebell9874]

I see many tips here I want to use

[@victorbrose4162]

I really would like to see a Video series of a weekly training/strengthening and stretching routine to gain most flexibility and Strength together. Like an Training plan that covers most of movement and body parts ❤

[@sandarumutukumarana]

Hi David, i am writing a book for athletes teaching them how to make the most of their off season. Any ideas?

[@yarasoler]

Longer videos of stretch please. I'm getting too stiff by doing weight lifting and I find easier to follow a routine stretch when the videos are longer and I can do it together while I watch.

"Motivation is fleeting, DISCIPLINE is reliable. Cultivate DISCIPLINE and FORCE yourself to do things to better yourself. It isn't about keeping yourself motivated, it's about how to train yourself to work without it."

[@user-ot1dv6ri4f]

disclaimer I have no discipline, either.
