The Power Of Routines - How Your Daily Routine Holds You Back From Your Dreams

[@igorhorvat5926]

I can confirm everything you say in this video. For the past 3-4 years, I've been stuck deep in my comfort zone on this downward spiral of laziness and following the path of least resistance. About half a year ago it suddenly hit me - "what the fuck am I doing with my life?". So I started making some changes, developing some habits and right now I think I've reached this upward spiral you're talking about. I constantly feel the need to explore, learn, develop, take on challenges... It's awesome.

[@bullshark3000]

summary: 1. excellence is not an act, but a habit 2. we are what we repeatedly do 3. waking and taking that first step of your routines, starts the momentum 4. stop trying to preserve your comfort state 5. imagine if you can execute your routines for a whole month? 6. start with a backbone of routines, then you can add on 7. consider removing negative routines as well 8. commit to doing it for multiple weeks to get your momentum (like a rocket )

My husband is a successful person and he has a very strict routine n im opposite to him, this creates a lot of friction between us as he always emphasised on creating a good routine right from getting up early...ur video is an eye opener...and it is going to help me a lot in becoming a organised and disciplined person my family can look up to.

[@ActualizedOrg]

Some people have a personality type that prefers to be more spontaneous vs scheduled. I'm actually one of those. But strong habits are essential if you want a fullfilling life.

[@chaitalimantri1467]

I agree.

[@OriLOK2]

+Actualized.org thank you for these videos. I find myself making better decisions everyday. I'm far from unstoppable, but I'm gradually improving and that's all I need to keep going. I can't wait to see myself in a few years thanks to you.

[@XTheSpartanX7]

As a college student i watched your how to study video and already took action on it. Watched your time management video and now this one. PURE GOLD !!!! I have 2 things that I do every single day 6-7 days a week. 1. Learn the course work and get a deep understand 2. Fitness (health body = better quality of focus) A typical day looks like this 8-10 study 10 - 3:00 - class 3:30 - 4:30 workout/yoga/stretching etc. 5 - 8 or 9 study I allow myself 1 hour of free time before bed 10 in bed My meals are quick, only 2 meals a day 2000 calories, high protein, moderate carbs, moderate fat and I usually just cook the meal and have it beside my while i do my homework, when i need a break i eat the food. Best thing i've found for studying is the pomodoro technique 25 min on, 5 min off. Hope to ace the rest of my 2.5 years and then get into Physical Therapy school and meet this guy in person one day and shake his hand for changing my life.

Who ever dislike this video just doesn't understand the power in this message. I suggest you see a few more videos related of how to improve your life and then comeback and see this. So you'll understand this life changing concept. And I'm sure you'll LIKE it!

[@MartinoDeanMusic]

I agree!

[@tiffmercer4306]

Wow, I felt like this video was made specifically for me! I quit working three years ago and I have been in a big slump since. I used to be very productive with my time. I had lots of responsibilities but I got them done and always made time for the things I wanted to do as well. Life was crazy busy but I made it work. But now I accomplish very little and I am disappointed in myself...that's how I found this video, searching for ways to get back on track. I love this and will be listening to it again soon and trying to implement a small schedule for myself and see how well I can stick to it. Thanks!!!

[@MVergaraQ]

I resonate a lot with the rocket escaping earth's orbit analogy. Sometimes life feels like a constant cycle of trying to build habits but failing, so the solution to avoid that exhausting feeling is to commit all-in to pass that hard first stage, no matter what. Thanks for sharing.

[@idan7989]

You can also add only one small habit at a time

[@WellRounded]

So awesome! You can have tons of ideas, motivation, and plans, but they will remain ideas, motivation, and plans without execution. Change does not come from a single thought, it comes from repetition. You will lose enthusiasm, you will tire, but you have to remain consistent. It's the difference between success and failure. Be so laser focused and keep churning ahead. It's the universe's way of weeding out who's "worth it" from who isn't.

[@nowboarding1976]

Hi Leo! Just wanted to give you props for sending a positive message into the world and helping as many people as you can. I watch/listen to your videos every day when I'm getting ready -- one of my daily habits, badum-tss! Anyway just sending some love your way.

[@ActualizedOrg]

Awesome! Call me biased, but I highly recommend making a daily habit of watching my videos ;) And also a habit of re-watching them again and again as you forget the lessons very quickly without refreshers. It's not an exaggeration to say that you should be watching these videos 10 times or more to fully soak them in. The layers of understanding go very very deep on each of these concepts. This is not something you just master on one play-through.

[@akashabeeler4244]

when i started watching you i was recovering from anerexia and saw no meaning and truly didn’t have the energy to act on any of the things you’ve said but now you’ve helped me find some purpose other than calories and weed i think now that online school is over and its summer i can do this and create the art i want to put into the world and properly reconnect with the freinds i shut out thank you your work has brought life back into my life

[@KathleenRenninger]

This could not have been more timely. The other day I realized I'm not getting things done & am just feeling "out of whack" because of my lack of good daily routines. I sat down & made up a schedule. The things you've said in this video have helped reinforce the importance of what I'm trying to do. Side note: Life being unpredictable as it is, I've found that some days my schedule just can't be followed exactly. You can't get upset about it---just do what you can & get back to it the next day.

[@michaelabitbol4533]

Hey Leo, Michael here, just wanted to throw you some support. I’m doing your life purpose course so I’m going back in time to some of your earlier videos that are about getting your psychology in check. I’m not very deep in the course at all but I know getting my mental proclivities is a major aspect if not the greatest of really taking control of my life and I’m doing as much extra work as possible. Thank you for being here in my life right now, I don’t know where I would be without you. You’re an amazing person, your plan of attack in your own life is really inspiring. I’m just happy that i have somebody that I will listen because I cannot of almost anyone that I would follow in direct suggested steps. That wasn’t always the case, I played with enlightenment and omg wow, I am that I am, I feel like all the seeking I’ve done in that way finally really culminated and although I will continue with enlightenment life is also paradoxical and now I’m just addressing my life. My gift to the world is me, I give you what I am and I’m so glad I’m fucking doing it. I don’t know how long it will take me to start living out my life purpose, Nor does it matter, I’m taking baby steps. Tears run down my face just acknowledging how much this means to me. I’m so lucky to have you dude I can’t say that enough. I know I started commenting a lot out of the blue but I need you to know how important your work is, if you could wake just one person you can’t even fathom the impact of it. I am that master that I seek. Be well

[@bobbyj7904]

Thank You Leo! You are an answer to one of my prayers. This video gave me the steps to creating routines that will lead to my success and inner fulfillment without all the fluff and extra stuff. Your presentation was clear, precise and straight to the point. I Am Grateful 😌

[@Agurugonewild1]

I am retired, caring for my granddaughter, living in a tiny space in my ex's house because I was not able to care for the child from my own home. I have dropped people, places, and things for the last 2 years, and now, I am in a space where I have the opportunity to write, journal, and study, and search how-to videos. You have helped me to gain clarity and see more clearly where my stumble bumbles are. I am magic but have shitty habits. I live and support my child with only $670. we live well in spite, which is miraculous, but the drama I have created from wanting comfort has brought me to you and others. thank you.

Nobody says things like you Leo. You changed my life. Unfortunately my boyfriend heard the same things and remained the same. Oh well, at least i have inner peace and i am a whole person with or without him. Faves routines, control emotions, how to stop being a victim, but the one that caused a 45lb weight drop was the motivational video that ended with visualization. it allowed me to see two alternate futures. One where i accomplished my goals and the other i didn't. Powerful Think ill work on not meditation next. Add a good habit take a bad one away. Thanks Leo

This is an excellent concept. List of goals that work for the individual circled around baby steps will create your highest self. I really like the idea about once the momentum is rocking, you will become more friendly and outgoing. This makes sense because when you are happier with yourself because you are living on the edge you become like a bubbling spring. I also like the emphasis on consistency. I am going to execute a new routine tomorrow. Thanks!

Watching this I realized I am one of those people who try to start up a routine, go with it for about a week or so, and then fall back to the same old habits of laziness, procrastination and comfort. It gets even harder each time I try to go back to the goals I want to accomplish. I have been feeling depressed and most of the time feel like I'm not good at anything or can't do anything. I can't seem to hold on to a career path that gives me that “drive or passion” that most people seem to have. I know I'm only 19, but most of the time I know that I'm not really advancing in anything and keep sliding my way down the negative spiral. I keep juggling around different artistic fields, for example drawing, writing and photography and know that drawing is behind me and I would like to put photography as well behind me once I finish college, because I want to find a career path with writing but there are so many fears like, I'm not good enough, If I put photography behind me I have nothing left, my writing skills aren't that great, I'm one out of the millions of people who want to write what would make me so special. I don't know how to get out of this and put everything into action because of so much anxiety that's been building up. I have been recently watching your videos they are really helpful and motivational, but I just can't seem to get the gears going and get out of this rut.

[@ActualizedOrg]

Yup, that's simply fear of your own greatness. That's the difference between living a mediocre life and an extraordinary life. That's what Actualized.org is help you fix.

I don' think that "Planning" (or knowledge acquisition in structure, lack of understanding in goal setting) is the stumbling block for most individuals dedicated to personal development, its the Action-taking aspect that most face the real resistance. Its difficult or almost impossible to "plan" for what emotions you would feel sometime in the future, and what unforeseen obstacles would get in your way. The "Habit Planning" or routine must address the emotions too, and account for emergencies
