I can vouch that what he's saying is very true from my own experience. While I was recovering from a painful heartbreak (i was very emotionally invested in that relationship), my pet dog became fatally ill and it took immense effort, apart from expenditure, to save her. I had to force feed her liquid food with a syringe, arrange for blood transfusion, wipe her butt clean to prevent infection. But while was saving her, I had, inadvertantly, saved myself from going mad with hopelessness. Now, she's fully recovered and takes the edge off my loneliness.
Anna Marie Tendler had to deal with something similar. She was facing a divorce from John Mulaney (which was very public) and lost her dog. Today I see her promoting her book, running marathons, and it helps me feel better to know that she’s pushing through it and laughing with her friends. I’m also going through a breakup.. I haven’t recouped but we’ll get there. Wishing you so much progress and success to help you move forward from it ❤
@@cynthiaxd18It's been ten months, and I don't even remember posting this message. Thanks for your kind words. God speed to you too in your path to recovery. Heartbreaks are so painful!!! The most important thing that l learned, albeit very late in life, was to remind myself that, "This too shall pass." These were Lincoln's favourite words, it is said. Life's so volatile. Sometimes things seem insufferably hopeless as if life is worthless; and then, suddenly, we discover overwhelming beauty, and joy, and purpose in life. When you find that beauty, joy or purpose in life, you feel glad that you pulled through and it was all worthwhile. What made the difficult situations worse for me, and harder to recover from, was my tendency to give up as if my life was over and, consequently, spiral into depression. My dog, indeed, saved me. She's already 12 years old, which is the twilight age in the lifespan of dogs. But my dear furry friend neither looks old nor shows signs of senility. She looks very young and healthy; eats only one meal a day, and exercises (jogs) everyday with me.

The point is to try to somehow get out of that comfort zone due to which you are avoiding the task. For eg. If you have to go outside to do some stuff but you are avoiding it and sitting back in a.c. then try to somehow making it difficult to stay in the room like switching off the a.c. so you find moving outside easier than sitting at sofa.

So true. This morning my alarm went off at 5 am I was gonna hit snooze but said Hell no and I jumped up loaded my truck with the backyard trash I picked up. Got to the dump unloaded got out of there and now I’m heading to go fix an air conditioner at 9 and one at 11. And I feel pumped.
I think we can all say that we have experienced... Once we bite the bullet, buck up, stop being a weakling in our mind, and start moving, the movement gets us rolling in another direction.
Unless you have depression. Living alone like a ghost. Everything loses its meaning. No matter the effort and work put in nothing changes so any fleeting success or relief is swallowed up by madness. As the only witness and judge is oneself. It makes a person literally want to bite that bullet.
@@dillbill7152 I lived many years with depression until I figured out, that all of the thoughts supporting 'having depression" didn't make any logical sense. And I was really none of the things that I was being. Or that I believed I was. Because IF the way that I was thinking and believing was correct, then humans would still be living in caves and we would not have even invented the wheel yet. Analyze your thoughts taking all fear and doubt of things you imagine out of it. Only weigh the concrete facts in your equation.
@@JORMUNGANDReyeSsometimes depression is a result of concrete logical thoughts, often times depression and anxiety and the thoughts they result in are NOT illogical however like you said finding a way to do these things inspite if your mood state is invaluable when you know that you will feel better later on but its difficult when your choices depend on emotions Also you cant realiably logic your way out of engaging in decisions independant of your current emotional state from the thought that I it be more rational alone. I question the attitude that you can make choices outside of your emotional state because when I make decisions independant of my dysphoria its often because I either stoped feeling bad before engaging in a choice or because its a habit bit you need a reason to make choices outside of your low mood otherwise you dont get much reward from the task who knows it sounds like that worked for you but not me maybe I havent tried hard enought cant know unless I try hard enought

One task after another other. You can do this. I started doing Muay Thai and I love it because I socialise a bit and do sport and release that extra energy and get fit at the same time.

Very true. I work in the Legislature and I deal with VERY complex issues everyday. When I come home and work on my small business, it's a cakewalk. If I didn't work in politics at the State level, I may have treated my business as "hard", but the energy and effort needed to run it, pales in comparison to state politics, and I'm more motivated to plug away it.
Lol... This sounds like a Good Problem to have.. After my Mom died, I lost my Dream job that I was so proud of for going to see her on my probation period (which was my last time seeing her alive) and the woman I loved who I had plans to start a family with got pregnant with another Man's child, ALL in the Same Month, I No longer had any Focal point, Goal or Passion because My "Reason" for waking up and Grinding Everyday was because I had came up with a plan to buy my Mom a house, me and my girl a house and start a family and this was my "Why".. So Life Ripped that away from me and Made SURE that plan was over with.. I was Depressed (of course lol) and I was afraid to make a plan and I was Heartbroken.. So.. Life decided to Align All the Bullshit and I got a 50k insurance policy.. Buttt... A 24 year old Heartbroken, confused kid that just lost everything he cared about and watched his world burn to the ground in a Month is the Wrong one to Give 50k too.. Anywho, 4 years prior I had surgery and they prescribed me Vicodin and I remembered how it made me feel.. I found some, bought some and Opiates Release Dopamine at a Very High Rate.. I didn't know nor had any one to tell me what could happen.. Sooo I had to learn the Hard way 😀.. That 50k was just a means to Run from my Pain.. I did Alot of Good with it.. Bought people cars, paid people bills, was giving Homeless people $200 and they would cry.. I don't have kids so I wanted to give a less fortunate kid a good Christmas but had no way to find a kid.. Had a friend who worked with kids at the YMCA.. Instead of One kid, We just had a whole class of kids (23 or 24) write down 2 things they wanted and We went out and bought it.. I Love helping people 🤷🏾.. Anyway.. By the time I realized I had a problem feeding myself dopamine, It was too late.. I was in Addiction.. I couldn't stop anymore 😔.. I went to Church and got prayed over and the Preacher asked what can he pray for me for.. I Said Addiction and he prayed over me and said "This is going to be a Process".. (A year earlier God Delivered me from being an Alcoholic overnight.. Went from drinking every single day to Never having the taste for it again in one night).. But this.. I guess wasn't as Dangerous as opiates and It's a Process.. Here it is 7 years later and whatever Life itself didn't take from me, Addiction did 😔 I Now have NOTHING to live for and have been Abandoned by the ones I Love.. So.. I have to figure out how to go from having so much dopamine in my brain to little to None.. After 7.5 years of being in Addiction, at 31 years old, this is All I know.. Trying to Overcome Addiction with Nothing to Live for and Nobody in your corner and having to accept the fact that Your loved ones have either left you, betrayed you, or just don't love you anymore.. It's Not easy tryna overcome addiction when that Root is still there.. It's like.. If I take this addiction away right now, as MISERABLE as Addiction has made my Life, I'm not sure I'd be able to Mentally withstand dealing with and Facing the fact that Nobody Loves me and I have Nothing head on.. I tried to stop feeding my brain dopamine in January and almost pulled my hair out because my Anxiety and heartache was like, burning my soul.. I have what The Bible Calls "a Sick Heart and a Broken Spirit".. So.. I've come to the Conclusion, ONLY God Can Save someone like me and Love someone like me 😔 God is my ONLY Hope! There is NO other way.. No tricks, No nothing.. How Can you save a Man like me outside of God? And everything I revealed is n this comment was Barely the Tip of the iceberg.. I couldn't say All I've been through in the span of 8.5 years! ONLY GOD 😔✝️🙏 Nonetheless... Through it All.. I'm Grateful for what I do have.. Sorry for Complaining Lord 😔🙏

@@TrueNorth1217 pretty sure he has said that you should do the hardest things first. but this clip appears to be how to get motivation when there is none (start with something small to get going). it's basically different scenarios, one is to get started when you have no motivation to do something big, and one is to keep going once you're past the first steps that is my guess from having listened to him and others like him, this clip is to short to know for sure
Personally, I noticed that if I just brute force myself to do stuff I don't want, I go into some kind of mode where I feel uneasy and have massive feelings of disbelief. This lasts for a while (between 5 and 20 minutes or something) after which my focus kicks in and I can finish what I started.
let me ask you this, what's the alternative? Not work towards your goals? Scroll all day long? Forget about motivation, discipline and all that just ask yourself the question if i don't do what i'm supposed to do, what really is the alternative outcome and is it worth it?

I feel like this is why pushing yourself to work out helps improve performance in other aspects of your life. I’m so glad Huberman is sharing his knowledge with the world for free!
This why we work out why we as Men have to do dangerous things ok it's not some character defect at the deeper level. I won't argue that this in itself isn't habit forming that it doesn't evolve into a character defect so even in practice it's s difficult or risky even dangerous. Something I'm STILL struggling with though I have the knowledge. But being a Man is DIFFICULT it's SUPPOSED TO BE DIFFICULT. What you find out if you take your pursuit of knowledge and truth deep enough is the clear and unavoidable truth that WE AS CREATED BEINGS WERE DESIGNED this way by a POWERFUL CREATOR for an ingenious and cosmic purpose. Never stop seeking the truth and YOU WILL FIND IT.
Why does it only have to be challenging to be a man its also challenging to simply be a living organism that continues to live, also the truth doesnt exist thats just like saying to be in the moment, its indexic general enought to be meaningless unless you relate the Truth to an object of discussion like the truth of some fact based awnser or were did the green ball go, or the truth of socialogic trends but that changes so truth only exists in relation to something. Well if theres one thing or truth i know its that im having an experience of something that its like to be alive. Thats general but yea truth as in some ultimate truth is just coming from your experience so while its tru for you, you must recognize its not for me and if I were to develop faith in god then it would become tru for me too, but just because it COULD become tru in my experience that doesnt mean its ULTIMATLY true in that no way of experiencing that world could become more meaningfull for me than the way I am experiencing it RIGHT NOW of that were to change.

I’m living proof that’s true. I hate that I usually don’t always do that I thing that is most important but when I do I end up doing something it does turn things around including my mindset which is everything.

When I was dealing with depression I made a decision to enroll myself in programming course. It was horrible for the first few weeks but it got easier and better with a time and even though I'm not a developer and didn't proceed with this career it was the best type of a co-therapy I could have. Medication is one thing, but realizing that your brain is still able to function after years of total slumber (a healthy dopamine kick I guess) is the best. Soon after got enough willpower to go to gym and this was the second best therapy. Don't loose hope folks, figure out what's best for you and what's not. Get more of the former and rid of the latter, even if it takes you your whole life!
That’s true- when I’m on a treadmill and I don’t feel like going at a higher speed I maximise it so that my desired speed feels easier, and ofc it works. It’s “reach for the moon at least you’re end up among the stars” type of analogy

A quick mind-reset: When feeling weak or anxious, or other “negative emotions”, just go sit on the floor, lean back a bit, bend your knees to your chest, keep hands lightly touching the knees, lift your feet off the floor so they barely touch it, and try hold your balance for 15-30s, with eyes closed or open. Rest 15s, and repeat 2-3 times. Notice the difference. “Oh, I have muscles, strength, balance, and focus - I am capable.”

My Fellow Northerner im sending my regards from the otherside in swe wishing you a life of total sobriety clean off every little atom of that shit cuz when you have recovered fully you are gonna feel even greater.
I tell you its gonna be fucking great❤️🙏
So true. This morning my alarm went off at 5 am I was gonna hit snooze but said Hell no and I jumped up loaded my truck with the backyard trash I picked up. Got to the dump unloaded got out of there and now I’m heading to go fix an air conditioner at 9 and one at 11. And I feel pumped.
I think we can all say that we have experienced... Once we bite the bullet, buck up, stop being a weakling in our mind, and start moving, the movement gets us rolling in another direction.
Unless you have depression. Living alone like a ghost. Everything loses its meaning. No matter the effort and work put in nothing changes so any fleeting success or relief is swallowed up by madness. As the only witness and judge is oneself. It makes a person literally want to bite that bullet.
@@dillbill7152 I lived many years with depression until I figured out, that all of the thoughts supporting 'having depression" didn't make any logical sense. And I was really none of the things that I was being. Or that I believed I was. Because IF the way that I was thinking and believing was correct, then humans would still be living in caves and we would not have even invented the wheel yet. Analyze your thoughts taking all fear and doubt of things you imagine out of it. Only weigh the concrete facts in your equation.
@@JORMUNGANDReyeSsometimes depression is a result of concrete logical thoughts, often times depression and anxiety and the thoughts they result in are NOT illogical however like you said finding a way to do these things inspite if your mood state is invaluable when you know that you will feel better later on but its difficult when your choices depend on emotions Also you cant realiably logic your way out of engaging in decisions independant of your current emotional state from the thought that I it be more rational alone. I question the attitude that you can make choices outside of your emotional state because when I make decisions independant of my dysphoria its often because I either stoped feeling bad before engaging in a choice or because its a habit bit you need a reason to make choices outside of your low mood otherwise you dont get much reward from the task who knows it sounds like that worked for you but not me maybe I havent tried hard enought cant know unless I try hard enought
@@nicbarth3838 The only way to ever not be a slave to your emotions... Which is a life of bondage and impulse... Is to dig your hands deep into your heart's desire which is located in a life's purpose that you must choose and commit yourself to.
@@JORMUNGANDReyeS purpose hmm ill have to find that or maybe it develops in the realionships I have with the world after I try things
This is why i exercise first thing in the morning. The rest of the day is a breeze by comparison. People who always complain about their day, their biggest challenge was getting out of bed
Getting out of bed is the only biggest challenge in my life right now. I swear all my problems would be solved if I could get out of bed early without feeling and looking like a zombie the entire day
@@asmitharamesh1766 Kratom saved and changed my life
@@asmitharamesh1766 Start from the night before. Get your clothes and shoes ready next to your bed before going to sleep. Next is guts. Get angry to your self no matter what is going on in your life you must uncover yourself and keep going. You need plan, find something to do, there is always something to do. One task after another other. You can do this. I started doing Muay Thai and I love it because I socialise a bit and do sport and release that extra energy and get fit at the same time. You could try this or something similar. Your body is waiting to explore the world open the door and go. The first door is the blanket.

Of you are suffering or actually procrastinating it is a good start for your mental health not to be called or see yourself as lazy ;)
“When your lazy or procrastinating, just do something” -you didn’t have to cut me off
Very true. I work in the Legislature and I deal with VERY complex issues everyday. When I come home and work on my small business, it's a cakewalk. If I didn't work in politics at the State level, I may have treated my business as "hard", but the energy and effort needed to run it, pales in comparison to state politics, and I'm more motivated to plug away it.
I needed to hear that today
I be procrastinating by thinking about what's harder😅
and then my OCD will make me want to think of something even harder than the 1st thing I thought was harder :D
@@Maureen_Schilder correct 😅
Lol... This sounds like a Good Problem to have.. After my Mom died, I lost my Dream job that I was so proud of for going to see her on my probation period (which was my last time seeing her alive) and the woman I loved who I had plans to start a family with got pregnant with another Man's child, ALL in the Same Month, I No longer had any Focal point, Goal or Passion because My "Reason" for waking up and Grinding Everyday was because I had came up with a plan to buy my Mom a house, me and my girl a house and start a family and this was my "Why".. So Life Ripped that away from me and Made SURE that plan was over with.. I was Depressed (of course lol) and I was afraid to make a plan and I was Heartbroken.. So.. Life decided to Align All the Bullshit and I got a 50k insurance policy.. Buttt... A 24 year old Heartbroken, confused kid that just lost everything he cared about and watched his world burn to the ground in a Month is the Wrong one to Give 50k too.. Anywho, 4 years prior I had surgery and they prescribed me Vicodin and I remembered how it made me feel.. I found some, bought some and Opiates Release Dopamine at a Very High Rate.. I didn't know nor had any one to tell me what could happen.. Sooo I had to learn the Hard way 😀.. That 50k was just a means to Run from my Pain.. I did Alot of Good with it.. Bought people cars, paid people bills, was giving Homeless people $200 and they would cry.. I don't have kids so I wanted to give a less fortunate kid a good Christmas but had no way to find a kid.. Had a friend who worked with kids at the YMCA.. Instead of One kid, We just had a whole class of kids (23 or 24) write down 2 things they wanted and We went out and bought it.. I Love helping people 🤷🏾.. Anyway.. By the time I realized I had a problem feeding myself dopamine, It was too late.. I was in Addiction.. I couldn't stop anymore 😔.. I went to Church and got prayed over and the Preacher asked what can he pray for me for.. I Said Addiction and he prayed over me and said "This is going to be a Process".. (A year earlier God Delivered me from being an Alcoholic overnight.. Went from drinking every single day to Never having the taste for it again in one night).. But this.. I guess wasn't as Dangerous as opiates and It's a Process.. Here it is 7 years later and whatever Life itself didn't take from me, Addiction did 😔 I Now have NOTHING to live for and have been Abandoned by the ones I Love..
So.. I have to figure out how to go from having so much dopamine in my brain to little to None.. After 7.5 years of being in Addiction, at 31 years old, this is All I know.. Trying to Overcome Addiction with Nothing to Live for and Nobody in your corner and having to accept the fact that Your loved ones have either left you, betrayed you, or just don't love you anymore.. It's Not easy tryna overcome addiction when that Root is still there.. It's like.. If I take this addiction away right now, as MISERABLE as Addiction has made my Life, I'm not sure I'd be able to Mentally withstand dealing with and Facing the fact that Nobody Loves me and I have Nothing head on.. I tried to stop feeding my brain dopamine in January and almost pulled my hair out because my Anxiety and heartache was like, burning my soul.. I have what The Bible Calls "a Sick Heart and a Broken Spirit".. So.. I've come to the Conclusion, ONLY God Can Save someone like me and Love someone like me 😔 God is my ONLY Hope! There is NO other way.. No tricks, No nothing.. How Can you save a Man like me outside of God? And everything I revealed is n this comment was Barely the Tip of the iceberg.. I couldn't say All I've been through in the span of 8.5 years!
ONLY GOD 😔✝️🙏 Nonetheless... Through it All.. I'm Grateful for what I do have.. Sorry for Complaining Lord 😔🙏
God bless you and May God help you to overcome what you're going through. I believe in you ❤
Go on my man ❤, you're a gem inside, don't let people break your hopes , come on let's do it , let's start working on yourself slowly but surely 💪 . May God help you 🙏
Brother in Christ, you are loved. God loves us all far beyond what any human could. We are siblings in the body of Christ. I love you too, brother. You are not alone. You can do this. ALL things are possible with God. He is always with you. Keep going, God's got you.
... but that's when I clean the house
Especially the dishes lol

Pro tip cramming for finals, take a 2 minute cold shower whenever you’re feeling unmotivated
burnout incoming
Good idea. Stay hard✔️
Catecholamines
Plot twist: You start living under the shower :D
I have been showering for 2 days straight ... what do I do next?
This is probably why I fell like a million bucks and up beat when I start my mornings with a run
Thats what he said not to do lol
It is exactly what he said to do. Doing really hard things, makes other other hard things seem easy and doable.
@@TrueNorth1217 pretty sure he has said that you should do the hardest things first. but this clip appears to be how to get motivation when there is none (start with something small to get going). it's basically different scenarios, one is to get started when you have no motivation to do something big, and one is to keep going once you're past the first steps
that is my guess from having listened to him and others like him, this clip is to short to know for sure
Love it! Don't forget the peace that come with your body busy and mind free to ponder.
Wow! It’s the best idea I have ever heard to fight procrastination !! Thank you so much, you’re indeed a genius.
Personally, I noticed that if I just brute force myself to do stuff I don't want, I go into some kind of mode where I feel uneasy and have massive feelings of disbelief. This lasts for a while (between 5 and 20 minutes or something) after which my focus kicks in and I can finish what I started.
This is great feedback thank you

Dynamic Shift. Fabulously empowering and Quantum Thank You Professor Point of Power
If you don’t want to do something, then how are you supposed to do something even harder
let me ask you this, what's the alternative? Not work towards your goals? Scroll all day long? Forget about motivation, discipline and all that just ask yourself the question if i don't do what i'm supposed to do, what really is the alternative outcome and is it worth it?
If Procrastinating was a person in human flesh, it would have been damn Me..always hated being it but cant take the control of myself , my life from that damnation still today..
Thats why I clean the whole house when I feel hurt 😅 It takes my mind off the other stuff.
Hurt triggers my anger and now BAM... I have energy to tap into which allows me to do the shit I don't wanna do, like clean my house...
Anger is just a source of energy, don't get caught up in its emotional agenda.
Fear is just a messenger - once it's delivered the message, hear it then send it on its way, but don't get caught up in its emotional agenda.
I feel like this is why pushing yourself to work out helps improve performance in other aspects of your life. I’m so glad Huberman is sharing his knowledge with the world for free!
This also reflects on how when we’re feeling low, we are asked to pray. This has such an underlying meaning to it. ❤
This why we work out why we as Men have to do dangerous things ok it's not some character defect at the deeper level. I won't argue that this in itself isn't habit forming that it doesn't evolve into a character defect so even in practice it's s difficult or risky even dangerous. Something I'm STILL struggling with though I have the knowledge. But being a Man is DIFFICULT it's SUPPOSED TO BE DIFFICULT. What you find out if you take your pursuit of knowledge and truth deep enough is the clear and unavoidable truth that WE AS CREATED BEINGS WERE DESIGNED this way by a POWERFUL CREATOR for an ingenious and cosmic purpose. Never stop seeking the truth and YOU WILL FIND IT.
Why does it only have to be challenging to be a man its also challenging to simply be a living organism that continues to live, also the truth doesnt exist thats just like saying to be in the moment, its indexic general enought to be meaningless unless you relate the Truth to an object of discussion like the truth of some fact based awnser or were did the green ball go, or the truth of socialogic trends but that changes so truth only exists in relation to something. Well if theres one thing or truth i know its that im having an experience of something that its like to be alive. Thats general but yea truth as in some ultimate truth is just coming from your experience so while its tru for you, you must recognize its not for me and if I were to develop faith in god then it would become tru for me too, but just because it COULD become tru in my experience that doesnt mean its ULTIMATLY true in that no way of experiencing that world could become more meaningfull for me than the way I am experiencing it RIGHT NOW of that were to change. Not angry just emphasising
If u don't wanna do something do an intense workout for like 5-10 minutes and you'll be set
Intense workout for 10 min won't always do it.
What do you do in your workout
I do 30-50 pushups or 5-8pullups before studying and after that its easy to concentrate for me .
@@vaibhavbhatt4483 having a range of 30-50 push ups together with a range of merely 5-8 pull ups tells me enough about how bad your push up form is. No shade, just a funny thing to notice
@@jasperborggreve1047 damn man. Why you gotta be like that? Mans out here studying and working out.... Also maybe he just leaves more in the tank because he doesn't want to be outta breath.

Yeah let me find something harder to do than writing a dissertation real quick
Lmao fr
Was hoping I’d find ideas in the comments, turns out we’re all in the same boat
Write it quicker...
Came for this
Was not disappointed
Maybe something physical? I know writing a dissertation is crazy demanding on your brain so maybe doing something super difficult but physical might help? Just a thought…
Ultimate insight! Have experienced this.
Sooo thats how I'm able to work ten hour shifts without sleep 😂
Hidden Time Wealth blew my mind. I’ve shared it with friends, and they’re all amazed at the shifts in their mindset.
Level up every day.
One of my favourite phrases; hurt people, hurt people.
The way Hidden Time Wealth dives into the concept of abundance is mind-blowing. Hidden Time Wealth tips are pure gold, and I wish more people knew about them.
Genuinely curious, how does that technique work with people who have ADHD?
I'm also curious about this, I have ADHD and I find it hard to do this consistently, mainly because my mind wanders to something else random.
If I can't get myself to do task A which is 10 pts of difficulty, I think I might also struggle to do task B which is 15 pts difficulty 😅
I can't even look at 2 pts. Difficulty. Turn off the t.v. and the LIGHT on your way out please.
That's basic math. His speech is logic but the expected outcome isn't...
@Hi Vee his 'logic' is data - based. It's just science, you can't argue with that
@@argentumaurum3444 there's no data in this video.
He basically say "if you can't get the motivation to do X that is 5 effort point, then do Y which is 10 effort point then it'll be easier to do X"... Which is arguably dumb.
@@hivee3044 he mentions procrastination and laziness, two things that are stifling but possible to overcome.
I love your sharings. So helpful. Thank you so much
Ah yes, I'm procrastinating to do this tough thing so let me instead do this even tougher thing. That'll get me on track!
Not if you are bitter
THIS IS STUNNING REALISATION OF MY HABIT....THANKS ANDREW FOR THESE PHENOMENAL REELS MAKING GREAT CHANGES IN PEOPLES LIVES...MANY THANKS
Yeah, ok please do one that covers ADHD and the effects of that. Then I’ll watch it. With just you.
There is no "adhd" thats all bs, modern man is just surrounded with distractions, so we make up illness to excuse ourselves. and i mean, even if you have a real condition, you've got to set your mindset to surpass it. tell youself its bs
I’ve been struggling HARD waking up at 5 and stopped working out because I’ve been so tired. Forced myself to hike 3 days in a row and this mornings 5am was NOT BRUTAL and even without coffee! Pushing yourself to do things you’re capable of although it may be challenging is THE ANSWER.
It doesn’t have to be something deferent maybe do something harder at your job
Lazy person: I am avoiding doing something that’s easy and you want to me to attempt something harder? Never happening.
Could you please share the link of this podcast? Thanks in advance.

Do what he says. Don’t think (that is the point), just do something, anything, for 10 minutes when you’re stuck in a quagmire. Andrew is brilliant!

This is true when you feel too tried to go to the gym. Once you’re there you have all the energy
The concept of Hidden Time Wealth blew my mind. It’s like finding a cheat code for financial abundance.
Best cure for a hangover is hiking
Yes! I’m so happy on weekends when I have a list. I have the order I should do things, but I start knocking things off that are easier and momentum builds. It’s all I have sometimes. My sister sleeps all day and I don’t know anybody to socialize with here. Except I walk our dogs.
I’m living proof that’s true. I hate that I usually don’t always do that I thing that is most important but when I do I end up doing something it does turn things around including my mindset which is everything.
Thanks Andrew 😊❤
What if we recall that we have literally done much more difficult things before? I have found that remembering a more difficult time of life or accomplishing a greater task in the past encourages me to put in the effort.
Love you without shame but with boldness Andrew for all eyes to see!
Amazing advice
Hidden Time Wealth is so unique. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it sooner. It’s amazing how life-changing this can be.
👏👏👏 facts. For me it’s getting in a quick workout
Motivation is in the momentum.... can't wait for it. Just do it
This is useful information!
This is exactly why I take a freezing cold shower before interviews and anything stressful
That’s why I quit vaping during breakups
A vast wealth of useful information 💎💎💎🙏🏼
So true and that's why ADHD people struggle more but it is such a big reward but takes massive effort
This point is excellent.
For me it's all about starting with anything just to get the momentum going.
What he doesn't tell you is how the dopamine kicks in!
Thanks 🙏🏼
That's why I was starting my days with the worst thing to do first thing. Everything else just got in gear
When I was dealing with depression I made a decision to enroll myself in programming course. It was horrible for the first few weeks but it got easier and better with a time and even though I'm not a developer and didn't proceed with this career it was the best type of a co-therapy I could have. Medication is one thing, but realizing that your brain is still able to function after years of total slumber (a healthy dopamine kick I guess) is the best. Soon after got enough willpower to go to gym and this was the second best therapy. Don't loose hope folks, figure out what's best for you and what's not. Get more of the former and rid of the latter, even if it takes you your whole life!
That’s true- when I’m on a treadmill and I don’t feel like going at a higher speed I maximise it so that my desired speed feels easier, and ofc it works. It’s “reach for the moon at least you’re end up among the stars” type of analogy
Thanks bro
That is amazing to hear!
Day after thanksgiving worked out for an hour omg I felt so good!
This man has educated me like I never expected
I'm actually a very lazy person in our house but when it comes to work I'm more diligent and hard working than most.
Thank you so much!!! This is just what I needed!!👍👍👍
Oh yeah, I know that’s why a lot of people throw obstacles in my way because they’re trying to tire me out so that I will give up on my dreams and goals and remain comfortable in my mediocre lifestyle but I refuse it and I rebuke it
Gotta try that !
A quick mind-reset: When feeling weak or anxious, or other “negative emotions”, just go sit on the floor, lean back a bit, bend your knees to your chest, keep hands lightly touching the knees, lift your feet off the floor so they barely touch it, and try hold your balance for 15-30s, with eyes closed or open. Rest 15s, and repeat 2-3 times. Notice the difference. “Oh, I have muscles, strength, balance, and focus - I am capable.”
Thank you
Andrew is so brilliant and I love listening to him and learning ❤️💕❤️
Exercising!!!! Go for a run!
