[@yamatanoorochi3149]

thank you for your faith in the average person

[@inspiredby-sx7wy]

I think this is a problem in todays society of personal development: We have way too many goals and therefore feel the pressure of them oftentimes we don't get anything achieved because of that. I also see this reverse principle in weightloss!

[@editsdharma108]

yes!

[@FerineKitty]

So true! I agree

[@aryanmishra7555]

I totally get the point you're saying But exactly what are we supposed to do? Keep sulking about all the things we could have or we could be / make an effort trying to achieve them / die trying our best vs regret not working hard enough? What sort of situation is this? I've been working so hard for the last few months to improve my score in a standardized test. I've done everything I possibly can despite all the time constraints. But things don't seem to improve enough for me to feel confident.

One time in high school, we were bowling for PE, and I tried my best to do well, but I performed below average. Then, as we were waiting for the bus I decided to roll a few more balls, not caring how I did because no one was keeping score. I ended up getting 3 strikes in a row when I didn't care how I did. 😲

[@ashleighrose2332]

I apply this to my relationship. After being in a relationship where every day was a struggle to stay together and keep things going smoothly, I vowed never to try so hard in a relationship again. So whenever things get rocky I let go, stop trying, and every time it works out. He just does the thing naturally what I wanted him to do (whatever it is). And our relationship is just getting easier and easier and happier and happier.

[@aidamanea7393]

I needed to hear this thanks :(

[@annamoore3129]

OMG this explains something I do at work. When I'm putting myself under pressure to find where something goes, I get frustrated and just put it down to go back to late. Often I instantly find where it goes.

[@prarthana6911]

oh man, you dont have any idea of how helpful this was to me at this point of my life. thanks mate

[@mbhatti1723]

I was linking it with paradoxical intention then suddenly you said "that's where paradoxical intention comes in" Made me Feel Deja vu

[@losiseneviratne9834]

Now everything makes so much more sense

[@bbdn5123]

The title is something that crossed my mind recently. I'll check the video now.

[@listeningtomusicistalentidgaf]

Ayyy this is what i needed the most!!

[@GhostVanguard]

Thanks man, I needed this today

[@withhasnae7784]

The law of reversed effort is what we simply need to apply in our daily lives. I do sometimes apply the principle of this law in different areas of my life ,and it yields positive results. When I try too hard to achieve something that is beyond my capacity ( studying many hours a day for example) I often do not reach the expected results and I face many obstacles. Conversely, when I relax and try to find balance in my life I end up doing many things and being very productive.

[@Karuto-tn5dc]

Thank you so much... I exactly need this today ❤

[@Nathan-mx7rj]

Thanks bro this help a lot

[@SmallPassword]

A minute ago I was thinking about it and here it is

[@FogarasiBalint]

Thank you for the video!

[@dot4207]

I believe Rugby as a sport is a great metaphor for reverse effort. Your body is tempted to jarr into the opposition. However, the ball carrier makes a reverse effort to find a way, a more measured approach, while the rest of the teammates buy time by keeping opposition barred.

[@jakeparkes2453]

thank you so much. ♥️

[@noahclark7603]

Exactly what I needed for finals.

[@bushra1717]

same here. Hope we both can do well :)

[@the_Guy_who_asked19]

I studied a lot but i am not smart Iso when i dont try i get Screwed but when i try i get slightly better grades what annoys me is ass licking students get extra crédits for no reson

[@timr8456]

Reminds me of the book The Inner Game of Tennis 📖

[@dot4207]

Thank you for suggesting!

[@notred1323]

Hi improvement pill how are you

[@yardknight4953]

1:47 one thing I’ve (just) learned about sleep is this. When I was young I didn’t know what caffeine was so now I only drink decaffeinated drinks. But if I’m not in bed by 10-12. I’m up all night. Out of this past week when I play on my phone instead of going to bed the moment i get sleepy I wake up in the middle of the night or stay up.

[@colorfulshow33]

imagine seeing this video at the night before exam 😳 😅 just give up 😂

[@dot4207]

If I am not wrong, if one uses reverse effort excessively. I think it pulls them into overthinking again. My body becomes numb. Somehow the response is surrendering, kind of the opposite of being assertive and opposite of reversed effort. If you know about this situation, please make a video.

[@umairalikhan2541]

What a humman can do only struggle,not to focus on results

[@MrMastera]

Yeah, but there is also a saying that "only dead fish swim with the stream". Effort and struggle makes you stronger. If you tried so hard and got so far, in the end it *does* even matter.

[@GreatWhite7]

Time is a valuable thing

[@nooriany1]

Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

[@alessandrobeschi4935]

Watch the countdown to the end of the day

[@mammybelle7302]

Come on everyone...We've all done it at some point in our lives!! "I'll never go back to him or her!" 😂

[@huytcffg6562]

[@SCTG4231]

This law just helped me right now as I woke up late for work. Driving frustrated because of how this hiccup shifts everything else in the day. However everything will work out, just a little further down in the stream 😂

[@ryanreviews8566]

woah, did IP voice change?

[@David-gj5sg]

I would like to realize synonym accomplish my i played a basketball game of 21 in a gym with 4 other players. i played the most defense, most shot ball from far, and i won the game with a gym wall touch 3 pointer 1 of many examples reversed effort?

[@United_Wings]

[@opprince857]

[@jatinthakur455]

Basically, it ain't a big deal

[@DijitalVizyon10]

Türkçe altyazılı yapın😢😢😢🇹🇷

[@HamzaJatte]

Bro where's the voice we got used for!!!

[@Battleganz]

Well, I had set an affirmation that I wanted to be the richest person in the world. So I looked at my own life and tried to fined evidence that this was already true.

[@opengestalt]

[@Lemonnnluvs]

Let's see if my adhd paralysis goes away with this effort

[@johnedelmann6711]

I'm afraid mindfulness will stimulate it, making it worse.

[@Omar.mn1000]

What happened to your voice?? 🤔

[@ducksdog6601]

I think he hired voice actors I miss his voice to 😢

[@nietzschesmoustache3585]

Nope. Im here to confirm that you actually need to try harder.

[@BossGIsaac]

you got a replacement to narrate?

[@TomAcademy-sk3fs]

i genuinely dont like this new voice of improvement pill

[@carlojayjunio]

I miss the old voice hehe

[@Notthemidend]

This is false teaching.

[@sidharthrupesh9586]

Hello buddy pls explain why

[@gusklemp3477]

Nonsense

[@williammccallum4760]

Thanks for deleting my comment. Guess it was easier than actually considering an alternative that doesn't conform to the narrative you're trying to convey in this video.

[@inspiredby-sx7wy]

I would be interested in what you said?

[@dot4207]

Yes, sometimes you need discipline. It works in situations where you have to conserve will power into, thinking and improving fundamental systems of your psyche. It demands resilience.
