Talking more to my friends and doing more sports, it's helping me LOTS with the shyness, anxiety and lot of stuff, and in compensation I'm usually way happier and it makes me better on the games I like and more focused, it's a win-win

[@NarcSurvivor]

Your bad habits keep winning because you’re seeking an escape from the current reality. You’re trying to numb the pain by disconnecting from your emotions. Instead, you need to go within and accept how you feel.

[@Sparkkitty]

That's exactly why I return to procrastination and extra sleep or even eating a treat

[@heyyy1325]

True. But, how do I deal with how I feel? I tried, but when I "go within", I feel like I only feel even worse and I feel like maybe I feel bad because I overthink or overly focus on the negativity of how I feel, or even maybe I create my problems in my head, maybe its just all in my head. Maybe im just too self absorbed, idk. Thats what it feels like because every time ive tried to face my feelings and do "inner work", I find no solution, I find no answer, the feeling doesnt go away. But also when i try to just focus on the positive and not address my feelings I feel even worse. Anxiety sucks and it feels terrible. I'm sorry for oversharing dear stranger, you don't have to answer my question if u dont want to... I'm just confused and I don't know what to do.

[@stachu5049]

I mean, this is probably a great comment, but I came here because I bite my nails dawg 😭

[@thecatsbackyard4833]

And the cycle never ends on it's own. It's like a yoyo on a string.

[@zerian80]

That is so accurate for me but it's nearly impossible to accept how I feel without indulging in a bad habit.

[@Nossined]

Here before procrastination makes me put this on the "watch later" playlist

[@hollalaland]

You mean the watch later playlist none of us have touched in years? Im here to stop that too lol

[@malvaxdd]

​@@hollalalandhahaha for sure 😅

[@VedavyasRS]

LoL, Yes! In my experience: Watch *Later* = *RiP* list 😂 (I haven't watched 3000+ YT videos of this list since 2021 which I find interesting)

[@rasmiranjan-ju8fm]

I never thought subliminals could make such a huge difference in overcoming addiction, but Borlest proved me wrong. After a couple of weeks, I felt a massive shift in my mindset. If you’re stuck in a cycle, this could be the solution. You’ve got nothing to lose.

[@heyyy1325]

"Understanding this limitation will help you to work with your brain's natural processes, rather than against them" SO TRUE. thank you so much psych2go, just the right timing ♡ love your videos.

[@34Her34]

I notice I go back to bad habits whenever I'm under continuous stress, Time to change that!

[@artsydog]

I'm in the process of breaking my cravings to binge eat - and I am willing to acknowledge that it's a process and that it takes time

[@Lisalepou]

This is exactly the video I needed. I’m currently trying to break the habit of watching hours of KZbin and procrastinating.

[@jackbarnes5589]

Nail biting and pot are very hard bad habits to quit. Autism and Anxiety suck sometimes.

[@A55a551n]

Timestamps 1). The habit loop hijack 0:57 2). The dopamine dilemma 1:52 3). The illusion of willpower 2:35 Hope this helps you out. Hope you have a nice day. 💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@noonegirl]

Thank you 😊

[@Coloradoball_gooberia]

These videos are great and I've actually improved myself

[@Psych2go]

We’re glad to hear this! We hope this video helps you!

[@fade2241]

The one thing that helped me most with kicking these habits is the phrase 'Resistance is my compass' - your brain tricks you by suggesting you avoid a task and do something more short term fulfilling, however if you use it as your guide of what to do next you can actually kick these bad habits. Plus there's research that shows this resistance is just your norepinephrine system kicking in before you start. I hope this helps you random comment reader! Happy bad habit kicking :)

[@thecatsbackyard4833]

3:30 This here. "Creating a reward system for yourself". Sounds like a life long practice and I'll bet Yuri Choi could fill us in maybe.

[@TechyCatz]

2:35 I found this out the hard way. I love the fact your videos are giving solutions and tips as well

[@nameunknown6493]

I mean, I have the bad habit of procrastinating on my college schoolwork because I have no hope for my future. I'm not sure how anything of this is going to help me when no matter what I do my thoughts always circle back to "What's the point in trying when I don't know what I'm doing with my life?".

[@AC-ni4gt]

My extremely worse bad habit is eating in general. I won't explain why but it's something that's I can't really figure out on.

[@prod.domino]

Its funny how I will watch a show or anime that talks about becoming a better person and even breaking bad habits and im sitting here watching all of it and not doing any of my homework

[@rupalijain9480]

why would you change that amazing voice and animation you had, it was so soothing

[@silly_human_]

I made an alarm for each hour of the day. When it sounds i jave to think what am i doing and what am i supposed to be doing or have done by then. That has been my awarness. Hour to hoyr goals and a remainder that the hour is gone.

[@money_wins_controls]

its jsut the realiazation if u think its really bad its easy to quit but when there is no strong reason it can coem back and usally triggers and mannipulation can worsen

[@auglitchx60]

At this point i think im being watched... Me, watching this at 2 am and procrastinating my hw: Psy2go: *uploads* Me: "AHHH-"

[@GoldenMila02]

I don’t sleep until 1 am, I don’t eat, I lay in bed either being uncomfortable, on KZbin, making up fantasy stories or taking a long nap or paying VR. I find no real satisfaction or much pleasure when doing these habits, and I don’t really know why I do them, this is literally my daily routine, is this something serious or am I just lazy?

[@slkken1768]

All I can do is agree with everything I saw and heard because I went through all of it. Then the tears began to fall.

[@Phlebstick]

Breaking habits is a process, stop beating yourself up mentally.

[@PancakeRights]

I think that not all bad habits may be technically bad just be happy and don't hurt other people. You can set timers and I think certain bad habits are worse like cigarettes and drugs and alcohol but not necessarily sleeping late it depends on your routine and you should indulge yourself once in a while. See a therapist make a timetable and take care of hygiene. Do your tasks first then enjoy thats my advice remind yourself that you deserve mental health support and your life is your own.

[@Gabriel_Angel777]

Hey I want to ask how to deal with unfairness. In my case I see a group of people that are supposed to follow the same rule as us, and even if they are supposed to follow the same they can be the exception of the rule and it creates such a rage of injustice that I want to take action into my own hands. Do you have any tips?

[@Space_Is_Cool123]

As someone with a DEVISTATING nail biting habit, this helped for me to, maybe not stop, but at least reduce the activeness of the habit...

[@Sam_Porter69]

Same here. 😭

[@bhumidua6888]

I needed this video thank you so much ❤❤❤❤

[@TheNonameHousehold]

I found a perfect way to break my habit of not exercising! It's one of those arrow dancing games that can be hooked up to any song ir video, I should go outside more tho... and now I acknowledge that without judgment 😌

[@lillytopofficial7683]

My bad habit is procrastinating, so I'm trying to working on it now. Can you do a video about breaking procrastination please? Thank you! Love your channel ❤❤❤

[@carlymara88]

I feel it’s mostly an escape with phone, tablet, ect, cause I’m still stuck living with parents. On one bright side, I do a lot of drawings and have gotten into a book series.

[@AliOcak-ns8le]

This guy makes every ifomation on whole youtube in 1 video and this in 4min. Thanks for the teaching lesson

[@brandoncastellano1858]

No matter how many P2G videos I've watched on kicking the porn habit, no matter how many times I've deleted all the tabs, how many "I'm done for good this time." still keep going. Dissapointed in myself. I want to stop. There's no dopamine. No joy. nothing. It's empty.

[@no-reply.]

I loved the Frieren representation ♡♡♡

[@PowerOfTheP]

First 3 examples… All mine currently 😮 Then the following 2-wait 3 ..I claim as well🙃

[@diptidavid6090]

I'm working on doing things consistently.

[@CyberQueen2004]

Speaking of bad habits, I have a bad habit of lying that got me in trouble time and time again. Can you make a video on how to stop lying, plz?

[@starysion]

Bro this came up at the perfect time

[@rand0mc0ntent0fficial]

Happens to me sometimes. I always stop.

[@ZOCCOK]

I find reducing them over time (1-2 weeks) makes it much easier to make new habits. Instead of trying to go to sleep by 10, try to go to sleep 1 hr before your regular timing, then 1 hr, then 1 hr and so on. Also pause if you feel you can't do it. If you find that you still have a lot to do at 11, and therefore can't sleep at 10, then just pause for a while and figure out a solution for it.

[@Elijahandfriendsgaming]

Yoo I do bad habits without noticing I DONT LIKE SCROLLING THROUGH KZbinR SHORTS btw I subscribed u are a very good KZbin therapist

[@SaveOurSpectacularEarth]

Thank you!☺️ ❤❤

[@SeenaEP]

Hi physc2go. Whenever I try to resist it, I become more aware of myself. Every little mistake seems impossible to correct. Like if couldn't answer a question in exam, I feel like I am a loser and dumb. Everything feels numb. Can you make a video about the strangest of recovery

[@amblemini]

“Oh man this is such a good way of explaining it- FRIEREN???”

[@lolalala-e8t]

thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

[@freesk8]

KZbin and snacking/over-eating are my worst habits.

[@lolalala-e8t]

thank god

[@VandanaKaushik-xe5xu]

The fact that nobody talks about subliminal affirmations for overcoming addiction on Borlest speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance

[@niasiamack9333]

I really appreciate your channel

I'm failed at 15 days when i start no fap ... but it comes back again... i'm really mad and stressed ... but i guess, i will do it again .... I'm not giving up to breaking the bad habits

[@Imkatibu]

Is it all starts with the mind? Why do I always associates emotions with my heart, when it's from my brain?

[@halleysonners]

there is a book about this called "the power of habit" in case anyones interested in looking into this further

[@leae12e]

Do you guys gave a podcast???

[@willingram9751]

Thank you

[@lady_kitty_coffee]

I was studying and I really needed this, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[@Moonlight-su6kl]

Hey 👋 Psych2Go. Since it’s Autism Awareness Month. I was thinking if you could do videos about autism like how an autistic student experiences a school 🏫 day or benefits of autism.

[@PaintVista]

LOVE THESE VIDEOS!

[@PrincePuppy611]

0:04 Yeah dude for some reason a bad habit of mine is being sleep and sound at 2AM instead of fully energized idk why

[@joyjones6927]

The way I look naked is my (dopaminergic) reward. But I still get defensive, act-out and reactive about everything else. #cepv #IMustWin

[@motorcycleman115]

I’m currently trying to quit smoking marijuana. The problem is i’ve been relying solely on my willpower (which has been working so far) but I don’t know what good habits I’d be willing to replace it with.

[@rsnc23]

Try vodka.

[@usOk04]

The fact I do all the first 3 examples in the beginning before the video even gotten started 💀

[@Japica225Main]

Someone tell why this is in my recommended when I am on my phone at 2am 💀💀💀
