You Need To Stop Seeking Instant Gratification

[@warriorlink8612]

What gets me is that when Dr. Peterson tells the story about the man who couldn't vacuum, the audience is laughing but Dr. Peterson never is. He realizes that these problems are real, and are mentally crippling for some people. He doesn't strike me as the type of person to sit there and judge you and laugh at you, but genuinely try to help you. That is very humble and respectful of others.

Well it was kinda funny. You know, seeing someone being inept at doing something trivial is not exactly something to cry about. What matters is that that person took the courage to improve themselves, even if that first attempt was goofy.

I honestly am insanely grateful for the lessons extracted from Dr. Petersons experience and that he put them on youtube. 10 months ago I was smoking €40-€50 a day both weed and tobacco. I got into rehab and really took this one serious. Thank God. I recreated my micro habits. I do still have a hard time getting up early but I do it. I've gained 18kg in muscle, stopped smoking weed, stopped smoking cigarettes. One thing I have been neglecting was the relationship with my father. I have a plan to talk to him tomorrow I hope the best for it. Any way my life is way way waaaay better then it was. Thank you so much Petersons. Have a great evening❤

[@LifeisGood762]

Yes! Part of being disciplined is knowing when to STOP pushing to "improve". I learned this from listening to Mark Rippetoe for strength training. If you do all those bicep curls, is your body going to recover enough to be able to add 5 pounds to your squat next week? The same in any area of your life, if you push beyond your limit too far its going to tire you to the point where you'll be so weak while recovering that you relapse (perhaps into laziness, perhaps it will make you sick) and move backwards. Net negative. Got to know what your limits are and just add ENOUGH challenge that you get A LITTLE better

[@stupidrainbo]

Absolutely! There have been dozens of times I tried to learn to code and whenever I start, I will sit at the computer for 5 hours and then suddenly I've built an association in my head that coding is supposed to be a 5 hour commitment and my lower brain literally is scared to make the commitment. I need to take Jordan Peterson's advice and just take the smallest step instead of making it a gigantic undertaking in my head

The most profound thing about this little snippet of Peterson is the level of empathy in his understanding of his patients. Simply recognizing that even the simplest thing that he calls you to do can be genuinely difficult.

[@alvareo92]

That's the greatest gift. Too many people out of frustration for their loves ones' loss of potential will chastise them for not being able to do simple things

[@akindelebankole8080]

His level of sympathy for his parents are not typical Western tradition, that moves people towards ultimate individualism. That deep empathy you observe in him is more accounted for by plenty other traditions that are non Christian and non modern Western.

[@recoveringsoul755]

The 1st time I worked up the courage to see a therapist, I was totally lost. It was HUGE just to be at that appointment. The therapist talked to me a bit. She could tell I was terrified. My next visit wasn't for 3 weeks. Her soft spoken homework for me, to be done in the next 3 weeks, was simply to look n the phone book for 3 numbers. Not to call. Just find 3 numbers and write them down. She understood I needed teeny tiny baby steps. At the next visit, we discussed what kinds of things to ask when making those phone calls. Just asking for help was pretty huge. I'm so grateful for her extreme gentleness. I was lucky to get her first and not some impatient one who expected more of me than I was capable of.

[@RonnieJamesOsbourne]

Cliff Notes: Baby Steps. Don't Bite Off More Than You Can Chew. Set Yourself Up For Victory With A Single Goal, No Matter How Small. I was a personal trainer in Toronto for over 20yrs, and used this model with some of my clients that found the gym or exercise in general, daunting. In some instances, our main goal was, "just going" to the gym; walking around, looking at the machines. We would do this (in some cases) right when it opened, so they wouldn't feel discouraged by others that are there; working away, doing there thing at a high, busy pace. Once they got comfortable with their surroundings, the next goal was to sit in machine... That's it. Generally, with a sense of "curiosity." Like; "Oh, this one looks interesting, what's this?" Once they felt comfortable with that, I would ask them to perform a rep or set with minimal weight/resistance, and then see how that felt. Sometimes this process was over several weeks; others, as quickly in a day. My point (and Jodan's) if you set yourself up for a win, no matter how small the goal/achievement is, it will lead to other goals which will slowly get you to your desired destination.

[@guineapigsith699]

Scott Adams says the most important thing is to get dressed in your gym clothes, to have a specific set of clothes you associate with exercise. This triggers the trained response of at least travelling to the gym. See how you feel then. The trained response is to exercise. Same sort of thing but it's systems instead of goals. But I guess that's for embedding the habit after you've broken through the mental block of trying in the first place.

[@donphonix128]

I like how supportive these comment sections are. People really bond over shared struggle, and it seems we all came to this video not because our lives were perfect, but because we wanted to put our lives in order. For me, it started with shaving. I had been to the therapist for months and was long aware of Dr. Jordan Peterson's advice but for years I would consume the content with no discernible change. However, leading up to Christmas I was truly dissatisfied with my physical appearance. I was tired of my beard looking scraggly. Therefore, for Christmas all I wanted was a pair of beard trimmers. I finally cut my beard the next day and have been doing so every week since. Next, I wanted to be more clean so I got in the habit of regularly taking showers and changing my clothes. Then, I noticed plenty of chores around the house my younger brothers and I were neglecting such as cleaning the dishes, cleaning our rooms, and washing clothes. I am almost 24 and my brothers are school age, and so I took it on myself to lead by example and show my brothers the importance of hard work in the house. I also made it a point to do fun stuff with them like sledding to reward them for the work they do. I was so excited when my younger brother asked me if we were supposed to do things like pick up after ourselves everyday. I got to teach him discipline by example. Now, I would be prideful to say that I will not relapse and go back to the useless and unemployed (working on that soon) manchild I was a couple weeks ago, but for the first time in a long time I see a way out. I see that I can be someone greater. I just need God and discipline and I should be alright.

I appreciate what you've shared. In fact I am grateful. I wasn't going to write a comment or a reply, but you might like to know that your comment has helped me so here it is. Your comment made me think about a phrase I hear a lot "It's not too bad". Say someone is looking at the carpet and says "It's not too bad" meaning- there is no need to clean it or vacuum it (right now). I used to be surprised at this, because if I have the chance to vacuum a slightly messy carpet- I would. Not because it desperately needs it but because I value a clean looking carpet and do not regard vacuuming as something unpleasant. Going back to your comment about having to get sick and tired of being sick and tired- at first, I thought I would say to you- this may apply to some people, but not to all ( as evident by my vacuuming example :-) BUT, how about the weight loss I've been putting off? "It is not too bad" must have been my internal mantra because from 68kg I've ballooned to 90kg in the past 10 years.

[@p1reviews789]

This is the most relatable thing I have read, you pretty much summarised what goes on in my head for a while now. It's the bitter feeling that comes with accountability. When you know that you have responsibility for the circumstances that you're in, and you want so desperately to get out of them and be the best version of yourself you can possibly be, you're also always reminded that the reason you have so many obstacles is also you. As much as there's feelings of drive and determination, they get completely outweighed by my own shame, disappointment and anger for allowing myself to reach this leve of failure when I should've and could've done better. It gets so difficult to envision a future version of myself winning because all I know and understand is losing. It's like you gotta mow the lawn, but the lawn is the size of the whole neighborhood and the only tool you can use to get the job done are scissors. It's much easier to feel defeated knowing it'll take you years then to start mowing bit by bit. Sorry for the tangent, my situation might be very different to yours, but I just wanted you and others to know there's someone out there who understands those internal struggles you were talking about. I don't have any solutions clearly, but I hope one day we all clear those books out the way and leave the rooms that we trapped ourselves in.

One thing i just started doing is i got this mini calender and i am writing on it everyday something that i dont want to do that i should do. Sometimes, that thing is to do a workout or to do some type of house cleaning or to talk to a person that i need to talk to. Its just something that i randomly thought of doing when i wanted to improve myself in many ways and its going pretty great so far. Just one thing a day

The intelligence of this man and the way he speaks in order to assure someone of things is unreal.

I think this video will help me get rid and let go of the old, unused stuff one step at a time. Thank you

[@sofiolaverry]

I have a lot of things in order considered that I'm 23 years old, I live alone, work, cook, clean and have too wonderful and healthy cats, I am really happy and continuously trying to be a better person. But there is one thing I just can't do and is to wash the floor I just don't know why is it so tiring for me lol when I get home I'm going to do it, this video gave me the motivation I needed. I will save it for the next one :D

[@emeralff881]

did you do it?

[@sofiolaverry]

@@emeralff881 yess of course! I can’t betray myself lol I will do it again on Saturday (saying it out loud is helping a lot) in the past I would have the same issue with dishes and order, so I started slowly and made them a regular thing, kinda pushing myself little by little

[@synoptic1047]

I love you guys so much. Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ for the work you do, and all that He has revealed to me through it. Straight up, ‘thank you’ doesn’t come anywhere close to the amount of gratitude I have, for it is changing my life for the better exponentially. All things through Christ the Lord, I am sincerely greatful. God bless.

[@nirniro1]

Good to know that therapists actually laughing at your problems when they sharing experiences

[@shaneerasmus2591]

A small step becomes a revelation & a motivation

[@whitehawk3777]

This helps me tremendously. Thank you Dr. Peterson for this.

[@gabrielbanos9537]

This connects to what he said about push and pull push yourself as far you’ll allow then back off for a bit then push again and repeats eventually you’ll find yourself past your limits and you won’t even realize it

I was not expecting her to say that about the beard! She is quick witted

[@eschreck814]

"you look good without a beard dear" so perfectly placed

[@boomct8569]

Listening to this whilst literally cleaning my room. Thank you sir!

[@thekeysman6760]

Why do you use the word "literally" there, please? You know it's totally unnecessary, yeah?

[@samparker9333]

Imagine being able to have those hard, mature conversations with your partner!

[@NorThenX047]

I have learned from this one that that is something I value more than i could have imagined. It is a rare quality but so vital

📌 Friends, I hope that this handful of stoic quotes helps someone needing to hear them: "First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do." -Epictetus "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." -Aristotle "We suffer more in imagination than in reality." -Seneca "The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts." -Marcus Aurelius All the best💜

God bless you, JP.

Tammy is so graceful

Psychologists can be really amazing because they talk about things no one else does And it feels so Satisfying

[@pattiodors8296]

Patience, it is the virtue of patience , which is the tool one needs to grab, to delay gratification students. And, it is developed by not necessarily picking the easiest way. It is developed through tackling things that are more challenging to accomplish or achieve. When I moved to Peterborough, I spent the decade there, living without the internet. That was to instil and develop patience. Glad I did that in hindsight . Because immediately after, CoVid came into being. And I was prepared for it and got through it relatively unaffected because of the virtue, of patience. Don't opt for sloppy and don't necessarily "cherry pick" and it will manifest.
