I'm only here because of discipline. I was in severe depression for 5 years. The only way I get myself up every day isn't inspiration or hope. I get up because I believe that I need to be productive.

Your words encapsulate a powerful truth about personal growth. The journey to becoming our ideal selves is fraught with challenges, yet each step, no matter how small, is a victory. Embracing failure as a part of the process is key to maintaining momentum and finding meaning in our efforts. It's this very struggle that shapes our character and brings fulfillment. By acknowledging this, you're fostering a mindset that values persistence and resilience, inspiring others to persevere in their own paths to self-improvement.

[@troynichols9788]

Stop the press. Been listening to huberman for years. But, I possibly just heard the most profound thing he's ever said. Starting from 10 minutes and 40 seconds. It is good to want things that suck. We should not only welcome those things, but we should desire them, and we should even celebrate them. They both literally and physiologically create life. We should not aim to remove all pain or all the things that suck from our life. Just the opposite. We should make sure we have them in our life. Point being, pain is okay. In fact, by design it is good. Wrapping my head and heart around this one is not easy.

[@tuhaggis]

Suffering is inevitable but you get to choose your own variety of it. Do nothing and the consequences are your suffering, or voluntarily suffer now to avoid the consequences of inaction. We each have a natural tendancy towards convenience and comfort but you can choose to give those up for something greater.

[@rebeccatrono3376]

We develop self-esteem by doing yards things, repeatedly. Overcoming, pushing limits, surprising ourselves, these are the things which lift us up and develops confidence and self-esteem. That this a surprise to the newer generations shows how many have been robbed of opportunities to develop resiliency by rewarding them for doing essentially so little as to be laughable. The level of anxiety in young people has been there for a while now and I think it has so much to do with not learning to do the hard things, gutting through it coming out the other side. Belief in self is huge.

[@ejhdbegbeidishdj9358]

It’s a stoic teaching. I recommend reading ‘Meditations’ by Marcus Aurelius.

[@Gabu_Dono]

Definitely. But you can’t want it too much. If you learn to enjoy the pain then it becomes too volitional, and it no longer has the same level of suck.

[@CibitiPro]

Dr. Huberman's perspective on embracing discomfort is indeed thought-provoking. The idea that seeking out and celebrating challenging experiences can lead to profound personal growth is transformative. Pain and struggle, often seen as obstacles, are reframed as essential components of a fulfilling life. This mindset encourages us to view adversity as an opportunity for development rather than something to avoid. It's a powerful shift in thinking that aligns with the natural human capacity for resilience and adaptation, ultimately leading to a more enriched and purposeful existence.

[@dianeclanton7116]

I found self-discipline to be much easier when you love yourself, and you realize you’re doing these “things” for your betterment. Don’t really love yourself, it’s much harder to make the effort.

[@emranyonas9405]

well said

[@lolacrowley2565]

Thank you. I needed to hear this.

[@CibitiPro]

Loving oneself is undeniably a cornerstone of effective self-discipline. When we operate from a place of self-compassion, the tasks we undertake are imbued with purpose and a genuine desire for self-improvement. This love acts as a motivator, making the pursuit of our goals feel more like a nurturing journey rather than a burdensome obligation. It's a reminder that the foundation of discipline is not just about strict routines but also about a profound respect and care for our own well-being. This balance is crucial for sustainable personal growth.

[@DihelsonMendonca]

The question is: Why do you need self confidence in first place ? Do you need to be ever stimulated in order to feel you are alive and feeling good ? Our happiness does not depend on any external factors. It's about the discovery of the dimension of the everlasting consciousness, our presence, which is the ultimate self. When you discover this space in yourself, you don't care about low or high self esteem, confidence, achievements, it's a completely different way to see the life, with real joy, strength and happiness. It's no effort, because you don't need to pull yourself. You can learn more about by watching Eckhart Tolle videos, or Allan Watts, Ramana Maharshi, Krishnamurti, etc. Good luck. 👍

[@StephanieLewisHealth]

[@CibitiPro]

Pushing through tasks that challenge us, especially those involving physical effort, can be incredibly empowering. It builds self-confidence and resilience, demonstrating that we are capable of more than we initially believe. This process of overcoming discomfort is transformative, fostering a deeper sense of achievement and personal strength. It's a testament to the idea that growth often comes from pushing our limits. By embracing these challenges, we not only enhance our physical capabilities but also fortify our mental and emotional resilience.

Regarding that “do a little bit more” principal - According to Arnold Schwarzenegger, when he asked Muhammad Ali how many reps he did, this was Ali’s reply: “First, I go until I’m exhausted. Then I start counting reps.” On the self discipline front, one of the best pieces of advice I ever read was “Always do the hardest thing first.”

[@CibitiPro]

The principle of pushing beyond exhaustion to count reps, as exemplified by Muhammad Ali, underscores a profound truth about self-discipline and perseverance. This approach teaches us that true growth begins where comfort ends. Additionally, prioritizing the hardest tasks first can set a powerful tone for the day, building momentum and confidence. These insights highlight the importance of embracing challenges and structuring our efforts for maximum impact. This philosophy not only enhances physical resilience but also fortifies our mental and emotional strength, leading to a more disciplined and accomplished life.

Think of someone you love/loved and you valued in your life, whether living or not. Or even a figure you admire. Talk to them. Write to them in a journal. Ask them for advice, imagine them supporting you. Volunteer at an animal shelter. Become accountable to someone or something. You will feel purposeful.

I listen to these podcasts/ KZbin videos from the usual suspects regularly , and I love them. I’ve gained so much knowledge and appreciation for the hosts and the topics discussed. This makes me always question myself for personal improvement based from the info communicated …. However, I have one question/ thought pattern often which non of them seem to address…. I am a carpenter/ builder, done it since I was 16, now 34. All the training/ exercise advice they give seems to be aimed at people with ‘office jobs’ trying to get fit, or athletes trying maximise performance …. No criticism what so ever, but… If you’ve ever worked on a building site, particularly for long periods of time, it’s one of the most physically demanding career choices you could make. I work 9 hour days , 6 day a week humping timber, digging holes, pouring concrete etc etc. I’m not blowing my own trumpet, The point I’m getting at is… I’d be interested to hear some scientific data on people that work such physical lives, other than athletes. Ie construction workers, farmers, miners etc. we are exposed to lots of toxic chemicals, dust but that’s part of the job and we accept that our lives maybe cut short from the exposure. That being said, I’ve met some of the toughest, strongest most resilient people on building sites that do no other form of exercise. To add briefly to a long post, apologies…being British, I think the class system plays a huge part. Working class Northerners are a tough breed full stop.

Now, 3 years later, I've started going at least 5 days a week over the last 8 months... and although I'm now in the best shape of my life, and push myself super hard when I go. The struggle to want to go isn't there anymore. I actually really look forward to it. And I notice my ability to discipline myself is no where close to where it was a few years ago.

@@gediminaskulakauskas8799 yeah that's right. I also mean I tend to procrastinate other things a lot more now too. Awhile back I'd jump at things as soon as they popped into my head.

[@AGameCoach]

Dr Huberman is always a good listen. Very interesting

[@cthuncanthealyoubutican]

I've been noticing it my entire life. For example, I can walk far away from home and go back tired, and at the last kilometer I'd feel almost completely exhausted. But I have to force myself to walk that kilometer, and after completing this I feel like I'm alive, and no depression can push me to the ground.

[@calebngugi]

Thank you for this! Attaching willpower and to an extent the will to live to a physical part of the brain is game changing. It takes the guess work out of finding out if willpower is something people are born with. It's good to know it's something that can grow when we do that activity that we dread. What's even better is that when we fail at said activity, it's not complete failure cause now you have a slightly bigger aMCC.

Micro/macro suck: I'm a mental health therapist and I've always used my own term "embrace the suck" to encourage my patients to reexamine how they perceive annoying--but necessary and mood enhancing-- tasks (e.g., exercise, ADLs, etc)

I’m spending three of the past hours trying to write an essay. I’m already drunk after a couple of beers because it helps my ADHD but I’m not making much progress, and suddenly I get this pop up! Thank you 🙏

[@vcollapse]

Write your damn essay!!

I second this@@vcollapse

just so you know, that alcohol is gonna give diminishing returns and you wont catch on to it till after. look up huberman on alcohol. it fucks your brain up pretty bad.

[@assjuice8223]

alcohol doesn’t help anything lmao

[@assjuice8223]

Trust me bro i have ADHD and have used every drug under the sun. Thinking that alcohol or amphetamines are going to actually help you be productive is a very common cope, but it’s not true at all.

[@etherspin]

Very interesting about Anorexia. I have one kid who had a year of high danger from this condition and it makes me wonder about repurposing the brain function for her studies , her coordination exercises (not aerobic stuff so much) - getting her that sense of reward via things that will actually help her

[@FrancisFarmerMusic]

Great idea! Worth running some experiments in different areas of interest for a more positive outcome for sure

Love the random jump cut to a tighter shot of Andrew drinking his AG1 drink hahaha

Glad to at least see the advertisement put at the end of video instead of in the middle or beginning like some other youtubers do.

11:23 david goggins reference and callousing the mind 11:47 an engine you can devote to other things

[@sushantgaikwad1849]

points disused - 1. Voluntarily doing things have a +ve impact- Experiment done on mice- one mice was allowed to do voluntary exercise and other was forced to do whenever the first one did. Result- the one who do voluntarily saw good psychological result and other saw -ve psychological results. Humans brains work the same way. 2. What you believe is how you feel- Experiment done on people- one group was shown presentation of how stress is good for your health and other group was shown how stress is bad or you. Result- They started to feel what they were told and believed in. 3. AMCC (we have two in either side) is a part of brain responsible for various activities. important ones are Tenacity, Willpower and Will to live. If you do hard things (micro and major suck) it will increase in size and can be used in other activities (Calluses the mind - David Goggins)

[@simoncourt1]

I heard once that when your body screams to stop you are at 40% capacity. I just chant this in my head to push.

[@Henrique.Souza0601]

9:00 so you say if I live all my life doing hard stuff that I don't want to do I'll live longer to keep doing stuff that I don't want to do? Wow! That's exciting!

[@zachhall5212]

The paradox is real brother

[@yaboiyosef7640]

The bit about the AMCC not being involved if you simply enjoy something is interesting. I essentially hate every run that I do and I feel truly miserable in the last few minutes. I guess this means my AMCC is really being activates?

[@LeoGjok]

I guess that’s the bit he’s saying. Keep going on your runs tho!💪

[@HumblestPhilosophies-yr9vf]

The basis of this video exemplifies the basis of behavior where everything you do starts with an idea.

[@donashen]

So in the beginning Andrew says that voluntary exercise has positive effects while forced exercise has negative ones. But when it comes to pushing that extra mile for the amcc activation isn't that somewhat linked to forcing urself in some way? I just felt curious about this like is there any way to avoid said negative effects when forcing urself to keep persevering in any activity?

Its such a shame this guest keep getting interrupted he didnt even get get finish his story, really frustrating as a viewer

So basically: to be disciplined, do tiny little shitty things back to back. So to be more disciplined, be desciplined hahahha. This was mad fascinating regardless. Got me motivated to want to increase my AMI

[@unsilencedderp9411]

If you want to talk about psychooloogy, one thing is to think about this video itself. If the ideas of this video were presented plainly, "you get used to doing hard things when you do hard things," the message seems completely redundant. Seriously, who here didn't know that when you repeat something over and over again that you eventually become immune to the pain it might have originally caused you. Our minds naturally mold around whatever we do in order to get to the point of automation. What I think is the correct use of this inherently obvious logic is to go about your everyday life living as if no one had told you this already known truth in an aspirational tone. Push yourself towards the things you want to push yourself towards for the sake of your own want, and not the want to "have a healthy brain."
