- Finding motivation is a tricky thing. Quite often I don't feel like going to the gym, making videos, or getting up before sunrise. This is the only trick I've found that works to get motivated.

Overcoming the lazy brain is the hardest yet most satisfying feeling ever.
Exactly. Your comment should be pinned over here!
Story if my life, bro... :)
@@FearlessDreams how did you guys do it ?
@@WhyNotIdk I keep reminding myself that my brain plays games with me and that at the end of the day I can either feel really bad, because I listen to it or really good, cause I overcame the noise and focused on what I originally set to do. With time and practice, it gets easier, but this "laziness" never goes away. You just need to keep challenging it. Keep you eyes on the price and you will be okay. :)
@@FearlessDreams thx man that's really helpful :)

How have I not heard that, genius!
yeah for real

Death Flare Thanks brother helped a lot 👊
Waking up early is easy but sleeping early tho... that's a whole different story 😂
well if u wake up early u will be tired earlier and sleep earlier by default
Fuad Kattan All the school work that I have to do though before I can sleep 😔
I can relate.
Kururugi same fucking feeling vro
I feel the complete opposite ! I can’t wake up early ! My eyes won’t open, my brain and my body won’t move ! I only procrastinate... but sleeping early is easy.
Have y’all had this feeling when your motivated to do anything but then a minute later you just fall back down to where you ain’t motivated no more.
all the time! it sucks
I bet your brain starts making a bunch of excuses not to do whatever it was you wanted to do, you start overthinking, the moment you get trapped in your head is the moment you lose... If you want to do something, do it within the first 10 secs, after that I'll get harder and harder...
@@yankobig8612 forget the past, forget the future, the present is all you'll ever have, I've been doing some visualization, positive affimations and hypnosis before going to sleep and I've been feeling great...
You just gotta start thinking YOU ARE successful in the present
Antares yea I just gotta think positive instead of negative things. thank you for your response.
Cup of coffee social media is what gets us not motivated to do anything, we interact with people using are data/internet instead of talking in person which makes us lazy and depressed to do anything. Texting for me doesn’t feel real.
That awkward moment when you’re watching this at 2am and don’t know if you should wake up early the next day...
It's 00:24 right now, im thinking the same shit
@ici well actually I give a fuck, why don't you stop being toxic and go back to sleep so you can wake up for sunrise

Its a lot easier to get yourself up in the morning when you have a beautiful mountain to hike on instead of going to school and coming home and then repeating that every day
Calvin Mulder i cant, im a teenager with no form of transportation, im not allowed to walk anywhere, theres no bike or skateboard lanes we have so busses or anything and i dont have a car
That so true
Dude this is what Im saying. Youre not alone. Im 17. Im not allowed to walk anywhere or run anywhere. My day consists of waking up early, going to school, then after, Im either with my bf til he goes to work or Im home. I have no friends aside from my bf. So I just scroll on fb and in between, I take care of my grandparents. There are no mountains to climb on. Im in Florida. The sidewalks stop every so often in places and it sucks. I got a bike but my grandparents isolate me anyways so whats the use. Im always in the house if I aint in school. Its really hard to find the motivation to do anything if its the same thing everyday. School, home. No in between. We have a van that we've had for like 10 years. It barely works. Everytime we turn it on, we risk it shutting off in the middle of the road or it doesnt turn on at all. I have no form of transportation at all to go just me alone. We cant afford a new car. We cant afford insurance so I can get my drivers license. I only have my permit. Im in the most shittiest state physically due to being in the house all the time and even mentally, I get lonely being I dont have nobody to talk to or no way to go places, and I want to become a United States Marine but at this rate, if its the same shit, I dont think Ill ever get the fuck up to do such shit. Theres nothing there to go to thatll keep me motivated. Florida is the most shittiest state imo and Ive grown up in it. Sorry this is long. Thanks for listening. Just, youre not alone. I dont know what to do neither. I feel like we both need to know how to get out there when theres nothing like these views he sees, or the hikes he goes on. Not all of us have access to such beautiful sceneries or whatever it may be. Ah well.
Destiny Parker thank you for sharing almost everyone else ive talked to online dosent seem to understand because for them having places to walk and stuff is normal , when i talk to my parents about it they act like im crazy, all i want is the small freedom of just being able to have somewhere to jog, but we have no where and we have no busses , subways or any other form of transportation and town is about a 2 hour walk from home, they don’t understand how i feel because they got the freedom to walk to school and they had areas where they could go out for a run whenever they want to, i basically wasted my entire childhood on my phone, my mom complains about it but theres nothing better to do
I totally get what you mean because I used to be in a similar situation (I guess most people are at some point). But you gotta think of it that way: use whatever goals you have (even if they are vague, like getting out of your city eventually) as a motivation to do better in school and to make the best out of your situation. This is the time where you can still change so much about yourself and decide how your future is going to look like. If you fck it up now and don’t do well in school you probably aren’t Going to get into college, so you might not get your dream job etc. ....
So do the best you can and find a balance between your school life and your social/ fun life. That will hopefully keep you going (at least it did for me).

last week I woke up at 4.45pm
I get motivated for a couple weeks, then its gone like wtf
more like couple of hours for me. R I P
•L U I S• i get motiated for like an hour than its gone
Yeah its because your just motivated by the video. You have to find a goal you want to reach so you have something that always motivate you to do it and to have a reason to do it.
•L U I S• same
I was motivated and productive for about 3 months. Now all of its gone and I just want to eat everything and watch tv.
it's 4am and i'm awake
because i never slept
edit: lmao i fixed my sleep schedule cuz of school so can't relate anymore bye

it's 10:16am and i still didn't sleep! looks like we are in a different league.

It's when you figure out how much time it takes you to fall asleep and then go to sleep at a specific time to get the desired amount of sleep.

We're never guaranteed tomorrow, that's where the motivation comes from. AMAZING content
Yes!! Thanks so much Erik!!
i did this today and im so happy because i finished streching, working out, reading a bit, and i also felt a lot happier fsr and im so glad i did this
thanks for this video so much!!!!!!!
Nitzan woah im happy for you hope i can do the same
im proud of you!
"Action leads to more action." Very true.
I love that quote: "Let your Action dictate your Feelings" and NOT reverse. Sounds really easy, but unfortunally the thing is: Common Sense is not Common Practice. But you have given me a new perspective. Thx for that :)
And nice Van btw ;)
Your more than a filmmaker, you’re a motivational speaker😇👊
😭that means a lot, thanks so much!!
This video motivated me in a different way I hadn't expected. I thought I was miserable for no reason. Turns out I'm miserable because I'm not actually treading my own path in life. I'm letting people choose my path for me. Everything makes sense now. I need to start following my own path now. Thank you so much for the video Jake.
“It’s always when your feelings dictate your actions instead of allowing your actions to dictate your feelings”
This is the problem I and many others are facing. You just got to start doing what you love doing and you’ll never regret it!

The Japanese call this the Kaizen method. Taking small incremental steps towards improving something.
I really needed this. Recently I've been diagnosed with a lot of shit, ptsd, depression, and anxiety. I kept denying that I didn't have it, and ive been trying for months now trying to find a source of motivation. I kept thinking that antidepressants might help me get up and do something, but really its taking action and pushing myself just to stand up and do something... Sure they might help, but there's also side-effects to it. So thank you for this little bit of a push.
hey, i wish you all the best. this is your year. i believe in you, you’ve got this. stay strong! ❤️
@@jasminakochanek3330 thank you sm
I literally watched 1:30 of this video, got up off my procrastinating a** and went to the gym. Cause I have never regretted going there when I`m done
Hahaha yes!!! I love that!
I agree so much with him, everything starts from our mind. We can't let our body control us. PUSH UNTIL YOU MAKE IT.
Awesome video as always! Speaking of motivation, I heard something one time that's helped me:
"Discipline and motivation are two entirely different things. Do you think anyone is 'motivated' to do shit they don't want to? Establish discipline to do what you know you have to do, and the motivation will come from completing it. You don't have to be motivated to get shit done."
That's an approximation, I don't remember the source or the exact quote, but that idea has helped me in the past - maybe it'll help someone else too.
Cheers!
Oh man that's awesome!! I love that! Thanks for sharing Delly 🤘🤙
cool!
Thats kinda crazy how simple it can be but most of mankind is struggling with it
Taking that first step and keeping it going is really important... But Why you're doing it is really important too. All about having a vision...
Very very true! The vision makes all of those small steps worth taking!
I wake up at 4:37 am each morning, by the time it’s 11am I’m half way done with work. Such a great feeling.
Step one: Read Atomic Habits by James Clear. Your perspective on reaching your goals will completely change 👌
I keep hearing about that! I'll definitely add it to the list, thanks! 🤘
Will try this book as well!
I second that, it made a significant difference in my life. This and the one thing book +podcast
I just bought this book today!
Why this atomic habits keep popping on tiktok and socmed! Seems my sign to read it asap, thankyou for the info!

@@davep5647 honestly i think it's really nice. Everytime i'm feeling scared or that i can't do something, i repeat to myself "just do it" so it makes me feel like nothing actually matters and my only objective is to finish this task.
Thank you so much, Jake. You have just given us a lifetime positive change in less than 5 minutes
😭 thank you!! I"m so glad to hear it 🙏
Omg! Your Tipp with "letting actions control feelings and not the other way around" Might just changed my life!
I'm just thinking "wtf with his house?"
Edit: nvm, just realized that it's a van lol
You crushed it with this one bro. CRUSHED IT.
hello verified
I wake up at 5 everyday during the week and it feels so good to be awake and doing things before most people around you do anything but sleep.
BDre sleeping is great though, I love it 🥰
2:20 - Dude, you have no idea how much THIS comment resonates with me: "I realized it's always when I let my feelings dictate my actions, instead of allowing my actions to dictate my feelings." I run a nationwide "stutterers helping stutterers" program, and we talk all the time about the interaction between behaviors and emotions. Overcoming stuttering is a tough, long process that forces us to do things that we really don't want to - but the results are SO worth the work. But I'd never heard it described in exactly that way, and hearing you put it into those terms REALLY struck a chord with me. Keep making awesome content, man! 👊
Imo self-discipline is more important than motivation, which is only temporary
I rarely comment this type of thing, but this is a video I really really needed. I wake up from 10am to 12am and never been able to wake up any sooner because I'm the type of person to click on snooze. Never got motivation to keep doing what I was talented in and stopped everything honestly. Thanks a lot for this
Jake for president.
😭😭 thanks Jesse.
@@JakeFrew Do you have any motivation or productivity or any such course? If not then you should. You have such a great understanding of life that you can help others create the same for them. Your work is pure gold. I found you today and I this is one of my greatest findings ❤
The only time I have ever gotten up before sun rise and been happy about it, was quarantine. Rather than getting up, rushing to school, coming home, working, and sleeping, I was able to get up early, make a nice breakfast, go outside, and listen to music as I watched the beautiful sunrise. I spent my days outdoors, ran a 5k everyday with my amazing brother who kept pushing me everytime I wanted to quit, laid on a picnic blanket and just watched the sky, swam in the neighborhood pool with my intermediate family, and didn't have to stress about school, social interactions, always trying to be perfect, etc. It was honestly really amazing for me. That time was exactly what I needed. I was able to work on myself without having to worry about anyone else, and it felt great.
Tony Robbins once said "Motion creates emotion"
Damn this video really got recommend when I was thinking about quitting the gym❤️ thanks RUclips
@ici damn that's very positive 💪😂😂
Dude, you are humble, genuine and your videos are freaking inspirational! :)
OMG! I was just having this thought - literally - this morning. I was thinking about what drives us as humans, and why we fail so often to complete tasks or get started. We based them on how we feel. DO IT ANYWAY. :) Love this Jake! I just love your videos. I'm so glad I saw you on Alex and Adrien's channels. :)
Haha no way!! Glad we were on the same page!! Thanks so much for the kind words and thanks for coming over from Alex and Adrian 🙏🙏
Keep on truckung. Great effect in the beginning with the see through phone swipe.
Thanks so much! I had fun with that one 🤘
This has been the single best piece of advice I ever got.
It's the core idea of stoicism, too. In our choices lies our strength. It dictates everything: emotions, and your life. How your day goes. What your time and energy is spent on. What your reality is, basically.
Brilliant advice
I kinda needed this , "dont let your feelings dictate your action" that was something , thanks
Learn to love hard work and love feeling uncomfortable. Always think about the euphoria that comes with hard work. Pretend like someone’s watching. Tell yourself, “Look at me, I’m working so hard. That means I’m fire”. That’s what I do at least.
1. You’re a great filmmaker
2. When’s the luts coming out dude?! I’m excited for them!
Thanks so much Kylie!! I'm so sorry for the delay, things have been a little crazy but I'm really gonna try to release them in January!
What possesses someone to dislike this video? I despair sometimes. Thank you Jake, you constantly try to help us along to taking that first step just to start creating.
I really want to start making my own vids, but constantly find a hundred reasons not to. Then I watch one of your videos and think....tomorrow! And tomorrow I watch another of your videos and think... tomorrow.
So... tomorrow I start! No really...
Jake, we have all been there (at least “more mature guys”) It’s more tough when you are young and without a family. Once kids come along you will be totally motivated for 5 am or earlier starts. Great video!
Totally agree. Back in the days I was sleeping till 10am, after the first kid show up I have started to wake up 7am. Now the second kid is on the way and I'm thinking that 6am will be the best time to wake up and organize my day. Once you wake up in the quiet morning you will understand how marvelous is the start of the day. Thank you Jake for the video.
Noted: first small step to waking up earlier - have a kid. I'm on it.
😂hahaha thanks for the kind words!!
That's actually a really good tip. Never let feelings control your actions, but let actions create the feelings.
Dude, you're killing it and truly have me inspired! Kudos to you brotha! Love what you are putting out!
Ah man I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks Cody!!
It never gets easier, you just get stronger.
I love this. Been having a hard time getting up in the morning and was recently thinking about the smallest steps I can take to get better at it.
And finishing up my first video!!! 🙈
Yes! I can totally relate haha. You got this!!
Thanks for this great advice. I needed this today. And your video came first in my feed. I have been working so hard on a project for last three months, it was something I thought I could never do, but I finally did it. I was so happy, then I showed it to my team mate, and he was like meh.. it’s not a big deal. When I was not able to do it, he always said this is the main thing I need to do for our work to be successful, now that I did it, his reaction was completely opposite of what I expected. I thought he would be happy. I felt so disappointed because of his reaction. It made me feel so small and worthless. All of the hard work, all-nighters have no value! All of my motivation to work vanished, but after watching your video, I thought even though he did not appreciate my work, I will not lose motivation , I will just start working on the next thing, and it made me feel good. I also realised that, no matter how hard I work on something, others might not see the value of it, and that’s ok, what matters is that I did my best, I successfully did the project. Feeling small just because of one person’s reaction is not healthy for me. I will not waste time on this and move on. Thank you.
SO true. Waking up early is the cheese! If you can pull it off 😂 gr8 video
😂haha ya it's no small feat for me. Thanks so much!
Broo, that's so true! I've never regretted waking up early or going to the gym. That's such a neat perspective. wow.

Jake, I so needed to hear this. You rock! Thanks for sharing. Be safe.
when you still have no motivation to get out of bed...
it's the first action mixed with consistency.
example.
go to gym once a week
then twice
then 3
do it until it becomes natural
"b/c i let my feelings dictate my actions instead of letting my actions dictate my feelings" wow. i felt that.
just found this vid on my recomended and this vid has effected my life the most of any video!!
I was highly motivated and reaching goals til my dad died and I saw him right after he died and trauma associated with that, details I won't say. Then I got emotionally drained and sought help and read books. Over time, 2 years now, a little motivation is back but still struggling and watching my grandpa died 3 months ago set me back. I don't know how to get on track. Thanks for this video. I'll try taking some more actions when I don't feel like it.
Such a promising youtuber!
Amazing cinematic ✅
Great advice ✅
Short and straight forward video ✅
I love the video man keep it up 🤘🤘
Man, your channel, it is just sooo aesthetic. I've watched quite a lot of quality motivational content, but your aesthetics are unique
I’m having trouble sleeping right now. Literally the only time that I tried to set my alarm at 5am.
Thank you for this. I've started to lack motivation and my actions have reflected this. I woke up early today, went out this morning in a snowstorm to go shoot some photos and it has sparked my love for creation all over again. cheers!
who else went to sleep after watching this? definitely not me.
This is why I love your works Jake.. Please continue to inspire people!!
Page 125 - "Action isn't just the effect of motivation; it's also the cause of it." Most of us commit to action only if we feel a certain level of motivation. And we feel motivation only when we feel enough emotional inspiration. We assume that these steps occur in a sort of chain reaction. It's not until a major emotional life event occurs that you can generate enough motivation to actually do something. The thing about motivation is that is's not only a three-part chain, but an endless loop: Action > Inspiration > Motivation > Action etc

Thank you so much.
Good for my new year's resolutions 😂
The first baby step just continues to beautifully perpetuate. 🦋
Honestly dude, this is dope but I've always enjoyed working until 3-4 am, I feel so productive then, so, I guess I'm saying do whatever works for you.
Also, absolutely dope production value and video 🔥🔥🔥
Same!! I have always been a night person and love working late into the night. I definitely never intended to say that morning is the only time to be productive. My main point is to take action, even when you don't feel motivated. Doesn't matter if thats at 5am or at 2am, as long as action is taken 🤘
Yeah, I feel this way about going into the studio....Ill not feel like it...for days or weeks...and then when I push myself or wait for inspiration- I go full tilt.and love it!
The point could be summarised.
Take the first step .
dude ive been trying to come up with video ideas and I wish I came up with every word you said in this video its so perfect and it hits hard. Thanks for this, actually got me motivated.
"Let your actions dictate your emotions...." the best words in this video!! Yaaass to always waking up at sunrise! I realize I do this even if I don't want to because work starts at 7am for me 😂😂 but my body's so used to it that even on my days off or when I'm on vacation, waking up super early just feels amazing. Love that mini coffee press by the way, need that for my "camping kitchen". Do you recommend?
Hi Antoinette!!! Thanks so much! 🙏 haha ya it's been a while since I've had an early job so now I have to force myself 😂 But yes the Aeropress is seriously the most perfect coffee maker ever! ESPECIALLY for camping! And now there's the "Aeropress Go" which is even more compact 🤘
Here since he had 1.2k subscribers and I am glad that he is having the amount of subscribers he deserves. still more to go Jake!!!
*Not motivated? Well get motivated - quote by me :’)*
Thank you bro! This is what I need right now!! So I'm going to start that very little thing towards my goal
Me: Okay, let's do this!
INTP me: smirks
Great video! You really explained what to do. In those normal motivational video’s people want you to wake up at 3 am and go to sleep at 2 am and work all the hours in between. How you do it is human. Keep it up!
It's been a long few weeks since your last video. Hope all is well with you. How are you holding up in your van during winter?
Thank you! Ya I've been taking some time to slow down and enjoy the holidays with family. Winter hasn't been too bad so far! Definitely spending a lot of time in warm coffee shops and libraries tho 😂🙏🤘
I just wanted to thank you for this video. A 4 minute video might not seem like much but you just changed my life and i can;t thank you enough.
its hard because im watching this in bed late and i shouldve gone to bed like 5 hours ago lmao
I did this once, waking up at 7 a.m. workout for 20 minutes, made my bed,a healthy breakfast and taking a cold shower. It felt amazing and i felt ready for the day although i didn't do anything important through out the day. I'm gonna start doing that again and i'll try to stick to it. Also i loved the colors in this video nice job dude.
* insert comment about how you stay up late and your life is a mess *
Me too buddy, me too
Somehow this is betsy advice regarding motivation that I’ve ever heard, and I go to therapy twice a week
So I tend to go to bed around 5 am.. so this is a problem for me
Lololol same
this video was really helpful, i was actually feeling really down for the past few months and i felt like everything was pointless . i really wanna check back in a few months so i'm gonna try your advice .
