Me: “watching how to trick myself”
Myself: “ oh no you don’t”
Lmao pls don be like that believe in yourself geez😅
@@lovepeaceisneverguaranteed7385
Who's, "Yourself"?
They're completely unrelated to this conversation.
He was talking about, "Myself".
Facts 😂😂😂
"you may have outsmarted me but I have outsmarted your outsmarting"
@@lovepeaceisneverguaranteed7385 believe in yourself for what , you can trick yourself or you yourself would not be tricked easily 😏😏😂😂
Tricked myself to rob the bank now I gotta trick myself to escape prison.
It's Showtime!
Trick yourself into loving prison life.
how do you got a phone in there...???
@@hardikagarwal4159 he tricked himself into sneecking it in.
LOL
There is a whole book about this. It's called "The Alter Ego Effect" by Todd Herman
Jonas Schmahl thank you!
Great book. I highly recommend it.
Thank you for the suggestion 😁
Jonas Schmahl Thanks!
@@-lavender-777 glad it's helpful! :)
Introductions not clear, ended up sacrificing a goat as my ritual.
Can't say it didn't work tho.
Lol...u mean a burnt sacrifice?
@@seethisclip27 you kill the goat, offer it's blood to whatever deity and it will catch fire on it's own
Nice
I mean if it works, it works.
Whatever floats your goat.
Now he works like 4 hours a month
@@ImprovementPill Man your responses to other's comments are pure gold! I appreciate the work you put on this channel and the interaction you have with you subscribers. Your videos help to get me motivated for doing things and starting projects, rely thx man!
It is at 777 likes dont mess this up.
This video is so relevant!! I super relate to that part where you used to work like a machine then at a certain point, you can’t even get out of bed. That so describes what I am going through right now. Thanks improvement pill, I hope I get out of this rut soon like you did
@@ImprovementPill Is it drugs?
If you're burnt out, you need to rest and not work more. The idea expressed in the video is solid, but what's described in the intro is not the healthiest way to live your life. Like, should you really strive to be so productive that you end up with a burn out afterwards? I just feel like these kinds of topics benefit from a more balanced perspective that acknowledges that if you have to constantly push yourself and trick yourself into something, then it may not be a thing you need.
It’s kinda crazy how all the tips on this video are something the infamous character from the Breaking Bad universe “Saul Goodman” would do right?
@@priestly8164 that’s creepy what you just said
@@silverish9081 But how about if you are stuck eating in an unhealthy way or don't work out as much - maybe the tricks this guy shares, on trying to trick your mind through creating a ritual and trying so hard the first three times may help one get into doing those healthy things...and also push one to consistently stay motivated to do them even when one does not feel like it.
"It's time to play the game" is my showtime phrase 😁
Mine is "it’s morbin time"
Mine is staring into the bathroom mirror with my hands tightly gripping the counter and staring into myself while screaming and shaking uncontrollably making gorilla noises, works every time
I lost the game
Really? *the game* ?
@@ODIOLASFUNCIONESNUEVASDEYT its a WWE reference 🤦♂️
"talking to strangers makes me less nervous" - how is that even possible?
A small positive chat will make you feel happy as humans are social animals. Try it to reclaim your very own personal socialization xp x1.3 boost!
For me, it works because if I successfully do something that makes me nervous I get a confidence boost and feel that I can do anything
if I say something dumb they'll forget about it faster because they don't know me
Giving a presentation can be nerve-wracking. But once it's done you realize it wasn't so bad and that you were nervous for no reason
@@danielmaserrat5060 or you spend the next 3 days fixating on every little thing you did "wrong". I haven't done a speech in years but for me it's phone calls (amoung other things) that terrify me
Everything reduces down to routine... Thought you always need try hard to keep up with routine. It's like the circle the more you work to reach something to more motivated are you. *the more motivated you are.
Most people use this strategy with music without even knowing
You're goddamn right
What do you exactly mean
Basically me for a lot of things, and by listening to Persona 5 music so I think (understatement of the month) I know that I'm tricking myself with that kind of music.
I just listen for the vibe
I'm a big supporter of people doing what works fir them. I'm not sure people need to "trick" themselves into doing something, rather train themselves to engage in more positive self-talk and develop a more optimistic "explanatory style" about life events. Sometimes, positive affirmations, visualizations, even role plays are helpful. Cognitive-behavioral techniques are excellent and they are what should be made in to a habit. Yes, some specific skills may be necessary if they are lacking (assertiveness, body language, interview skills, flirting) but most people don't need to learn that many social skills. Changing how we think is really the most important habit we need to develop.
Well said.
Yeah, I agree!! People just need to make sure that their trick is not harmful, cause I accidentally taught myself to wash hands every time I draw. Sounds not so bad? Yeah, no, I draw on a daily basis cause I want to pursue my art and animation career, so over the time and frequent hand washes my hands started to feel weird. Now it’s even a slightly uncomfortable to touch them and I don’t know what to do to stop this. I’m afraid if I go even further, my hands will be damaged even more and that’s a big NO to an artist.
@@justmilkcat6274 there's no easy way to do it, you just need to stop washing your hands. At first it'll make you uncomfortable but as you do it more your brain will realise nothing bad's going to happen. Maybe only wash them with water not soap to start with?
@@shadowkyber2510 omg, thank you so much. I think washing them with only water actually might help!!💖

@@UltimateAlphaFox96 National Treasure yeah!!!
Ronnie Coleman used to shout "light weight!" Before lifting heavy. Telling his subconscious mind that it is time to lift heavy.
Its 100% scientifically proven that yelling lightweight makes the weight light. Change my mind.
@@rickniu4153 nope, that's the power of the human mind
@@eta_carithebrightlord3396 Really? I was positive that my act of yelling lightweight scorched 20% of the weight off the bar and plates therefore making it lighter!
@@rickniu4153 nah it's pure perception, mass is kinda constant across the universe, it's impossible for weight to just leave. Most people underestimate their own strength and therefore they perceive the weight as heavy, shouting lightweight causes us to perceive the weight as light allowing us to truly use our strength
eta_cari the dark lord does no one understand a joke
I trick myself by standing up and hitting my chest like King Kong and the my energy sky rockets and i can freaking lift a truck!!
Omg yes
Best ritual 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol, youre right. studies (or i havent googled if the studies are true but my teacher told us) have shown that if you do a "power pose" before anything you will feel more confident! And like a power pose can be either doing the king kong thingy you do or maybe like some pose that body trainers do during a contest, aka mostly make yourself big and do a power/winner pose :)
This inspired me to do 17 hour naps before doing my homework
I have stage fright and my ritual has become being depressed two days before each presentation and then I ace it.
Nice
The price of excellence
I have stage fright as well, and I want to lead seminars. Download the app Meetup, & take steps. It's great for networking, and meeting like- minded people!
The date is laughing like Michael jackson “hehe”
Heeee heee
So he shaves daily? Or was it just for the sponsorship?
@@ImprovementPill I believe he meant, that you said that you shave in the morning for your ritual. That also kinda weirded me out because that's gotta either be a pretty fast facial hair growth or you wanna keep a very clean look.
I am shaving my head every other day, because i have a 1.5mm/24 Hour hair grow ratio... I feel you man :D
Improvement Pill you cut trees 🌲 ?
A million percent yes!
@James Goner yeah... like almost all successful person sleep a lot.
He started speaking I feel like he’s gonna sell me something before the video ends
he’s actually right: when i put my hair up and put makeup on i feel like i can do anything
I'm gonna trick myself to get out of my depressed state
ElmoOnCrack I know you can do it
Yes get that bread😅
You can do it! It's the pain from depression that give us bigger reasons to change
Yes, get up early, get up when the rest of your family is still sleeping, use that time to meditate, cold shower and get your head empty and fresh for the day! I know you can do this!
Thanks for the support guys
But didn’t you get sweaty after dancing for 30 minutes in your suit?
Sreeja Ray asking the real questions
@Karan What the hell is wrong with you?
Ahad Seconded lmao
@@sreejaray6331 what do you mean
lol...You stole the lines of my future comment...
My "Showtime" ritual for the longest time have been Deep Cleaning my room, I am able to work and study for like 14 hours straight after cleaning my room. The cleaning takes a lot of hours itself😅 but after that it's all worth it 🔥🔥
Love this! Sometimes I have such a hard time motivating myself to do work from home and I never thought about how wearing sweatpants or staying in my PJs was priming my brain to go back to bed. I'm a huge believer in the power of ritual and presentation, can't believe I didn't think of this before
"...when I used to go for dates..."
Me: Can I get a girlfriend first..?
Hope for the best.. #me at 16
This comment section is golden. I thought I was the only one to feel worthless.
@@ImprovementPill wait what?
@@ImprovementPill hey! Where have you found girls to ask out? I don't like dating websites and prefer the courage of talking face to face with a girl that I like.
@@ImprovementPill yeah...i am already working on that, I read this book called 'The Game' by Neil Strauss and it totally blew my mind. I think everyone should read it once...
How I activate my Showtime trick is that I remind myself that I am not the type of person to go down without a fight. Not necessarily a physical fight, but other types of fights too.
So a Gunfight would work?
I always start my day by going out on my balcony and pouring cold water on myself. It's painful enough that I'm able to meditate for 10 minutes afterwards even if I didn't get enough sleep. Overall it makes for a great start to the day and has pretty much turned me into a morning person on its own.
r u okay
I love torturing myself every Sunday morning with an ice cold shower and life threatening amounts of caffeine while later submitting myself to meditating in an ice filled bathtub with a 60hz buzzing sound on maximum volume while electrocuting my semitendinosus muscle in both of my legs simultaneously.
Bro I hope that’s satire
if this is true may i recommend a padded room?
I tricked myself into working out from January 2019 till now. 😂 I kept saying, I’ll be fine tomorrow 😜🤪
keep going!
xsxsxs xs that’s my plan. Thanks 😬🤪
Basically fake it till' you make it.
No, not at all. Did you watch the same video? 😂😂
This man watched the video without audio lmfao.
This is why seperating “work space” and “home” is very important. I struggled a lot with getting out of bed or even eating because I used to do everything in my room, especially my bed. I would sleep, do work, eat and play on my bed all day long that it sort of became everything.
You have to seperate your life into sections, kind of like games, you can’t mine coal unless you’re in a cave and you can’t get wood unless you’re in a forest. So you can’t sleep unless it’s you’re in your bedroom, you can’t eat unless it’s in the kitchen. Separate your work place from your home space.
Just a corner in your room JUST for you to do work and focus, it should also be a place that you always walk by that will really reinforce the idea of “might as well do work” instead of ignoring it all together to avoid work.
Yooo at the beginning of school I was thinking and actually wearing my black jacket to indicate I'm ready to work, I honestly didn't think I was doing this till I watched
This is amazing! Watching this video made me realize that I have some routine too. I always set a ruler, two pens and a correction pen before I take exams (even though I only use one pen the entire exam). This routine always makes me less nervous, and sets me up for the test. I can sure say it's helpful for me.
Cool video, too XD
Can't say I'm not surprised you're allowed correction pens in exams.
Thank you so much for this video. These kind of things/advice get taken for granted. You have no idea the level of assurance you’ve just boosted me with.
Is that you barney stinson ? "Suit up!"
Jaminski i actually been following in barney stinsons footsteps recently, at least trying to but it rly improves confidence a lot😂
2:03
Looks like Joker's Outfit
Easter egg(?)
Why so serious?!?
a couple years ago I was a working machine who used to watch your videos. Did the same thing as you and one day tuned everything out, funny I stumble on your videos again after all this time with the perfect ideology to fix my lack of motivation. :) Thank you.
I think it's not something that works "no matter what", but what you do before work or before anything that takes intense focus, can definitely affect how well you both feel and perform when doing it. But I also have times I simply can not get into a focused state (usually that's after work when I'm already tired). We still all have our limits.
Also, if you're suffering from intense burnout, this all doesn't really help to gat rid of the root problem. Therapy might help more.
"Talking to strangers makes me less nervous". That's the only time you'll ever hear this statement
Man, this pandemic threw me off in a major way that I barely knew the very motivated person I was a year ago. Will try a version of this and see if I can get back to my pre-pandemic Show Time mode.
Thank you!
Thanks for the channel. You never cease to inspire me.
I always shower in the morning and make sure I look sharp, but my days can sometimes feel unproductive.
I am going to start wearing a button down shirt in order to get me into my "showtime" mode, starting today!
My new ritual is take notes about what I eat so I don't think in food all the time, and that also made me conscious about how much I used to eat.
Now I need to implement that in studies.
I think for a lot of women who wear makeup, this is essentially what we’re doing. I often describe doing my makeup as “putting my game face on” & it gets me mentally ready for the day. I’m glad makeup is becoming more acceptable for men because i think many men could benefit from it too
Also it makes us look pretty✨
@@ryanhernandez8324 haha yes knowing you look badass does wonders for the day
Acceptable for a certain group of men lmao. A cisgender straight male who acts 100% masculine will still get odd treatment while wearing makeup 😂
@@olaoluwaakomolede2421 Not if you're really subtle about it
had me in the first half
It's like suiting up to be a superhero or something like that. You become more than yourself (even not yourself maybe an alter ego) and become your own hero.
So to get myself to do homework I just gotta put on clothes
‘cause school is the only reason I go outside.
This does actually work. I learned it by "getting ready for work at home". Where you do the "morning routine for work" but you don't actually leave the home. And make sure to have "work hours" of the day set up.
perfect timing you're saving my life that's exactly my current problem, Thanks for the advice man !
The showtime trick is genius and simple.
I still don't get it
It's like you would do something odd or something that will help you more in the moment to trick yourself to do something
Finally early to something for once in my life haha
I noticed to trick myself to workout-because I workout at home-I would change to gym clothes and athletic shoes and listen to some music. It always works for me. Also I remember the 3,2,1 method and I thought this video was gonna be a revised version of it. I’m glad it’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while now, just never noticed it.
I was close to figuring something like this out once. I was very stressed and low on motivation, and thought: "Okay, I know I need to do this and that, but let's not stress myself for now, and just cook a proper meal for once" It worked, and I tried replicating this experience, but it didn't work that well.
I absolutely agree, having & doing rituals is a great way to get in the mood to do something and get your mind straight.
6:15 tryin hard not to laugh
Yes a new video and style lets go this was really inspiring and positive no wonder I subscribed to this channel It's gold thanks Pill your the best✌
The way you convey things and the perspective is always impressive. 🤩
It's always great whenever I click this channel's video within one hour of upload. I have no motivation currently as a tradgy happened in my family 😭😭
@@ImprovementPill I will try to go back to regular routine, but it is very painful to accept what happened
needed this before my big audition tomorrow. reminded me of my usual "showtime" phrase, inspired by Ben Folds: Do it anyway. that's pushed me forward into doing a lot of things i was initially afraid to do!
You always have a way to get me out of bed everytime, your videos itself has become my routine!
I like the examples that you gave for this video. It definitely shows that the different ways to create a "ritual" for any situation
Thank you for sharing this with us! I agree! We all need to do a healthy routine to help us get into a better mood
Thank you! I'm going to truck myself into being productive, getting my art projects, public figure stuff, and basically snatching my crown and taking over the world.🎀
did it work?
truck
I spend hours thinking about what should I ritual, just to realize watching improvement pill is already my ritual.
this really works! i threw on a scarf, grabbed my timer, neglected to grab chapstick and water which i will do next time, and then went outside and wrote a couple hundred words on the bench on the deck!
Man, I think this is the best trick you've ever shared. I do the same thing with college and coincidentally did something similar to go to dates when I was single. IT WORKS EVERY TIME. IT IS SHOWTIME BABY 🔥🔥🔥
Again a great video. I love what you do
Keep that great work 👍
watching this after sleeping 12 hours and am still in bed
Thank you So Much, I could totally relate to This and you confirmed what I was thinking as regards this Issue. You legit "saved" my Life ❤️❤️❤️
now that i realize this, i do art and sometime soon wanna start animating if not just post art on my yt, but lately ive had such a bad burnout, i forced myself everyday to atleast do one drawing piece but lately i cant even pick up my apple pencil nor get it out of its pocket
i looked back to when i was so motivated in art and drew alot and actually enjoyed it and never forced myself, i had a routine every morning during that time when i felt better, wake up early immediately no checking devices and just jump out of bed, take my dog out on a long walk on a sunny morning, then have some hot healthy tea, and just that whole era of me doing that i felt so much happier and motivated to do stuff, now i wake up at 1pm and takes me 20 minutes to lift my body up, and even after that, i dont go outside or anything, (sometimes i will to grab mail)then i just start off my day by eating leftovers or just something unhealthy, i dont know 100% if that affected my motivation in art, but overall it just made me feel better
i dont rlly attend on anyone reading this i kinda just made this for myself xD
I'm glad to hear you getting better!
Great video again Improvement Pill. For me, it's putting on makeup and nice clothes before I head out the door or even when I study. When I study my law books, I dress like a lawyer and carry a briefcase. So that's why I'm productive when I do it that way.
perfect timing, saw this when i went to youtube this morning
Ty for all the help in your videos they helped me boost my confidence enough to wanna make change and break out of my social anxiety i am now making plans to progress in life thanks alot.
You always got our back 💯 I’m trying this to get up early and workout.
Thanks bro 😎
I have my showtime moments. I just never realized this, and thus, not doing my rituals
I just realised my flatmate does this and it's fucking hilarious XD
Your channel is super cool! I love the animations! It's a powerful visual. Thank you for spending your time to help the world! 🔥❤
I needed this, been watching your videos because I'm having the same problem, overworked then burnt out, quit my job, now I'm studying for a licensure exam. However, I'm having a hard time actually studying. There's a lot of distractions and I try to make a "study area" and only using it for studying. But my biggest problem is /when/ I study because I just can't get into the mood of it. So I will try this, I really think self-discipline is the best motivation, kind of.
This is great content, it goes to show how important habits are even if they don't seem impactful. I had a lot of success doing theatre, that gave me the confidence you talk about, kind of like dancing in front of the mirror. I can't recommend it enough.
Who remembers when the penguin from Happy Feet tricked himself into falling off that ledge?
thank you!! I really needed this because I’m struggling in studying lately
Thanks for the vid man!! Appreciate the content. Keep it up 👍👍
Now I need to make a ritual for motivation for creating a ritual
So you really lived the American dream! Dude this is so amazing! Some time ago I had a conversation in school with a teacher and a bunch of pupils and we ( Germans) discussed (USA was our topic) wether the American dream is still "alive" or not. I was really defending it and truly believed it does exist but most of the others including the teacher disagreed. Germans have a very fixed mindset about almost everything, and I just love the American approach to life! I want to go to California when I can afford it and I want to live the American dream too!
You are very inspiring!
word of advice... don't go to commiefornia
So you want to burn out and be depressed??? 80 hours is double a regular work week. 12 hours a day 7 days a week. You barely have a social life. 100 hours you have no life.
You might want to rethink your dream...

That *ha-ha* *he-he* part was so funny I'm still laughing idk why it's funny lol
When I first saw it, I immediately thought of the he-he-he-ha emote of Cr 😩😂
I did this trick 4 years ago and i did not realized, on the way to the stadium in which I played football I would always look at the same houses and stores and that made me feel more confident and safe than before
thanks man! always with actionable steps
I put on my "lucky" black and grey Fedora (hat) before going out, and it gives me a very positive attitude and even seems to give me more respect from others!
@@ImprovementPill Every real man needs a Fedora! I'm bringing them back on the scene!
@@JukeboxBalowski I am also rocking black fedora with a black overcoat in the winter. I have searched for this hat for over 6 months in three big cities. Where do you live?

How does everyone always has money to go to starbucks D:
Invest in your self. :)
Realize you can just work there and don’t have to pay for drinks
I wouldn’t necessarily say they have the money, just bad at managing it
Water is free at Starbucks
As a barista for the place, I have NO idea
For me, it's when I put on my socks. I'm more productive at school, and I guess that productive mindset got connected to me putting on my socks - I've done this subconciously many times, thanks for explaining it in words - subbed :)
Thank you so muchh!!!!!! I never realized but i really needed this ......thank you you are my best mentor
Omg! This is what I was looking for!! Thanks man!
Improvement pill, could you please make a video for people with adhd? Something about time management would be really useful.
Like Thomas shelby when he puts on his suit, he becomes a working machine!! Definitely my idol!
Hahaha that is truly admirable
didn't realize i've been doing this before going to the gym. i don't feel like going to the gym? watch gym vids or gymtoks, get extremely hyped, flex my muscles, get motivated.
It’s scary how accurate this is to my situation and how RUclips knew that your video needed to be on my feed. Lol
Ah I can totally relate. Except my motivation is being in front of people I respect. I'm not sure if this counts, but I always tend to be more aware, act more responsible, and seem a lot more mature around people I respect and admire.
Him:"I talk to 3 strangers".
Me who can barely talk to my coworkers:"nice tip fellow extrovert".
Great advice. Can't wait to try it.
I've been a little lazy about cooking for myself this school year. But I think I found my "showtime" cue. This morning, I was so tired and I could barely get up. However, when I took that first step of just bringing the ingredients out I'm instantly in the zone. Even more so when I open up a recipe, despite knowing all the steps already.
