On listing to music, get a record player and some records. It really forces you to be very deliberate. You even have to lift and lower the needle, and change sides when it comes to an end. It's helped me cure my dopamine thing. Good luck team.

[@no6mi]

cd player is good too and cds are a bit more affordable :)

[@philip6252]

@@no6mi anything that isn’t streaming is good!

[@DasSnek]

​@@philip6252I don't think streaming music is always bad in this regard. You can still be intentional and mindful with it

One of not many advertisements I didn’t want to skip

Yeah same! He presented in a way I almost didn't notice the ad plug when listening without watching

[@breadeater5187]

i just watched a 50 minute long video essay without checking my phone but im so cooked that i had to take a break at the 30 minute mark to just stare at the ceiling dunno why tho

[@shivanigauniyal]

Just stumbled upon this video and I'm so grateful for it! Hope it is watched by many more people. You broke down a very complex solution into doable tasks brilliantly! I have been in a bit of a funk lately(finished a job contract, about to start another in a few months) . My job was very mentslly engaging but for the past two months I haven't been able to feel like myself.Nothing is intentional during my day and I have to make effort to even hear what my body/brain want. Two days ago I went to the cinema after months and realized how much more I enjoyed it over scrolling and just mindlessly letting Netflix decide my watchlist. Being intentional with fulfiling your needs is key.

even if you feel overwhelmed or defeated, there's still room to recover, fix things, or make progress. ❤

[@calminthechaos-uy4ms]

guys is it worth it ,all of this ,I have been forcing self improvement on me from 3 years now and all i have encountered is a deep sense of self hate in the process,sure I have improved a bit but idk if it is worth it anymore....

[@Eldenslord]

not worth it

[@lex-qh1lf]

I’m in your same position :/

[@nunipher]

maybe you could consider looking at it less as self improvement and a "fixing" you're supposed to force yourself, and more as true self care (which does not equal self indulgence and looks more like taking concious actions for your well being) and nurturing yourself from a place of patience and, if you can't really call it self love yet, at least a bit more of tolerance and compassion. like taking care of a wound, you don't force it. it's definitely not easy, and not fast or as pretty as we would like it to be, but it is totally possible. and maybe you're doing better than you think, just by caring enough to choose change. that by itself it's already worth it and something you should not hate yourself for. sorry for the long ass paragraph lol

[@yanosneverloses1147]

It depends on the context of your “self-improvement”. Does your self improvement involve the David Goggins wake up at 5am and beat yourself up every time you make a mistake or miss a workout, or is it something like what is mentioned in this video, a balance between learning and entertainment that is sustainable with practice. Truth is all the stuff he mentions helps, but you don’t need to journal or write essays or anything (all great suggestions btw), you just need to get away from doomscrolling. There is a lot of recent studies that show the link between lack of motivation and high levels of dopamine due to incessant scrolling. You don’t need to completely change as a person, you just need to get away from stuff that is genuinely damaging to you. He even says in the video stuff like TikTok and IG reels are all ok as long as there’s reason to it. But if you’re scrolling 2 or more hours a day there’s something really wrong and it’ll just worsen your self image if it continues. You shouldn’t starve yourself of dopamine rather reward yourself for getting that bit of work done, going to the gym or some other thing that isn’t immediately entertaining. It all depends where you’re at in life.

[@baggytoques]

It was worth it for me but I didn't go crazy with it or anything. I just put 10 minute time limits on social media, started getting my full 8hrs of sleep, stretching, working out, counting calories, guitar, reading and photograpy. That seems like a lot, but you'd be surprised at what can be accomplished when you're not on your phone 7hrs a day

[@sunflowerbeauty-u12k]

Thank you for this.

The original Secret Life of Walter Mitty with Danny Kaye is an EXCELLENT movie 👌🏻. Danny Kaye is my favorite actor of all time! Ps I feel spoiled by suddenly getting multiple new videos from you! You are one of the most inspiring channels that I follow. Thank you so much for your content. It has helped me a lot to be more productive! I struggle a lot with executive dysfunction and task initiation.

Automatic dislike comment when somebody doesn't realize that this guy deserves to get paid for how great his content is. Since you're not paying him how do you expect him to make any money? Thanks brilliant for paying this brilliant guy.
