Man, I gotta say I never thought I would see guys this young getting onto a good path with their lives. I see too many young guys being negatively influenced by peers and all of the media, it is so wonderful to see that Hamza is having such a positive influence on so many young men. Gives me hope for the next generation!
Yeah, obsessing over self improvement can be a trap in that way, or like getting prideful & egotistical thinking you're superior to all other human beings for your self improvement can also be very toxic & unhealthy to the mind & spirit, lead you to the path to the devil instead of seeing it as a wholesome positive thing & just a way you can be a better human being to everyone you're connected to in life, parents, friends, kids, loved ones, community etc etc. I think this video will help a ton of younger guys that always feel they fail their new years resolutions.
@@prizethought dude, i was like that. My pride and ego would skyrocket, i look down upon people, cut people out. But now i've changed, i've matured. I realised that, these people is "normal" and i don't have any rights to look down on them. It's amazing to see my growth as a person for the past 5 months
I love that this guy is actually realistic, he doesn't just feed us the red pill rhetoric that we're weak and pathetic for falling off every now and then, he's actually being truthful, that everything in life has spikes and drops and the same goes for consistency and routine. Thank you Hamza
This December, I wasn't consistent, I stopped working out and started to do my old bad habits. I felt kinda frustrated because of that, although it was only a few weeks. Now that I am getting back on track, this video is really significant. Thanks for your help, Hamza! 💪🏼
yeah bro about 15th November i fell of and started playing games and doing all my old habits (as you can see by my uploaded vids) but I'm starting to ramp up in my work, normally i get in a rut after going into overdrive for an exam
Great video, you could teach this in schools :D I genuinely love all these videos where you talk about self improvement as I am currently doing dropshipping as a side hustle. It's paying really good last few months and in December I had 12000$ profit. Consistency and hard work (with a bit of winnerzila of course, their products are key to success) will always pay off at the end. I have never been happier in my life, and it really helps for my general health and confidence.
Literally tomorrow I will be a year on self improvement . It has been an amazing journey , and I so grateful for you , Hamza , for helping me through my darkest and brightest moments !❤
There is a thing called mental load, a lot of people today have a low mental load limit. If you will overwork without preparing, you will get consequences. Depression and burnout are one of these.
I find the exact opposite for me to be true. Having too many commitments causes so much mental stress that it turns into overwhelm. Cutting back, taking it easy, focusing on the few things that matter, enjoying life more, and trying to be happy in the moment, are what lead me to better results!
I think this works for some people, but is certainly not a one size fits all thing. I think a better way to think about it is to physically remove distractions instead of adding responsibilities. For example, I just sold my computer because I was spending too much time on it. Now, I don't spend as much time on social media, and I've naturally filled that time with more productive habits. This is just something that works for me, but I recommend you guys to try this out.
Also authentic classes and commitments that resonate with you! For example commercial gym is nice but one is maybe more interested in martial arts or football, for me self improvement is also becoming more authentic and finding out what I really want to do (while beeing productive ofcourse).
It’s the video I really needed. I’ve been going back to the Jeffery lifestyle for around 2 weeks because of mental health issues linked to my high ego and expectations. I just had to hear these words from you. It isn’t entirely lost for me, I can go back on track. Last year was actually a success compared to the previous ones. Thank you for helping "youngsters" like me jumping into adulthood, it makes the struggles a bit more meaningful. 🙏🏻
2024 and 2025 are gonna be the two years of change for my life. In 2023 I just kept relapsing, and not staying consistent. This year though is gonna be different because now I know why I failed last year. Thank you Hamza for everything. If I didn't discover you I would probably be more depressed than right now. I promise you that I will change this year, and I'm not just saying to hamza but that to anyone who sees this comment. Today marks change. Oh also do the hard work especially when you don't feel like it.
Hamza, thank you. I’ve been off to the bad habits for a week, and yes I was feeling like I should always be consistent on it, and one day is failure, but this really did change my mindset about this. I even wrote a new blank of paper on “Base line” for bad days. Thank you Hamza, you really do deserve the respect, from me, and from all of us
Im very grateful for this video, Hamza today I was like: OMG I DIDN'T STUDY YESTERDAY HOW AM I GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL???!! But this video made me remember that I am only 13 years old and 1 year into my self-improvement journey, and that for the past month I meditated every single day, for the past month I read every day, for the past month I went to the gym 5+ times a week, and this helped me to see that I am actually improving, thanks bro.

Ever since I started consuming Hamza's content I've started to feel more inspired to get my shit together. Since at the time of writing this, Christmas holidays have ended and I'm back in school again. Unlike other times, I don't hate it. School work is the only purposeful/productive thing I can do right now. I've stopped consuming random bullshit content that has been rotting my brain for years and instead started watching scienceful and rather philosophical videos from RUclips. I've cut down the amount I spent on video games drastically. Since all of this I've started to feel better and better and my urge to self pleasure has also gone down drastically. Thank you Hamza for saving my life.
I needed this one. I'm in my thirties and have just discovered self improvement. This makes a lot more sense I also thought I could magically change over night. I did self improvement for about a week and then fell off. This year I'll be taking small steps to get where I want to be thank you.
Mate, this guy will be going places. I'm going to turn 14 in two months and I cannot just help to think how much better my life would have been if I had started when I wanted to (I was 12yo too at the time). Don't beat yourself up for it. It'll take time to be consistent but its worth it.
Asak Ishaan, don't have this change the past or wanting to start earlier mindset, your age is perfect for self improvement, you're ready for it, its all up from here. Think of your time in the past as a preparation for this moment. At your older age you have this great experience of knowing what it's like to miss out and waste time, now u have a greater perspective as to how to spend ur time productively. I was at your age when i wanted to start but messed up, and had a cycle of wishing to do things and wanting to change my past, trust me, if u just forget and focus on the present, it'll repay itself forever. Lose your feelings of regret and embrace a thankful and learning oriented mindset, not everyone's life is perfect and we have things that just don't go our way, you're at a better spot then me bro, u can do it. Time spent in regret and not in the present is time wasted.
Hey Hamza! I'm 13 years old, and I'm watching this after a 1 month "rut", this has completely changed my perspective on success, progress, and consistency, I can't thank you enough.
I’ve been on Self-improvement since halfway through freshman year. I’m now halfway throughout junior year, and I needed this thank you Hamza. I think I attribute my consistency lack for ADHD.
Really nice insight from you Hamza. I have been struggling and have not always been as consistent as a thought I needed to be. This reminder really gave me perspective about my journey on self-improvement so far. I think you were right about the whole ego thing. My ego sometimes stands in the way which damages my progress. Thanks for the advice
I was in a rut before Christmas, Self-improvement suddenly felt like a full time job. It got boring and I hated the routine I held for the past 3 months. Over Christmas I visited my parents and purposely took a week off. I stopped ALL my self improvement habits except for one day where I hit the gym with my dad. I removed all the app timers on social media and lived like a Jeffrey. Now I actually WANTED to get back into self improvement now that I am at home. Today felt so fucking awesome. Today I meditated, hit the gym (hit 3 PRs), learned maths for my exam, journaled and I didn't use my phone for the whole day except watching this video (on grayscale) If SI is too hard take a set amount off. But don't cope and do it every other week (even though that would be more than not doing the good habits at all)
Bro W Hamza. What a way to start the year. This is the exact video I needed. I’ve been on self improvement for one year and have been lifting 6-7 months before that. I’ve perfected my diet, gotten great sleep, read my Bible and still procrastinate on basic task. I’m ready to get locked in this year. I’ll get a job so I can afford AS.
You should get yourself AS. I got it for christmas and the ROI is off the rails! There’s multiple thousands, maybe tens of thousands dollars of value in just *one* month of AS! Almost 15 courses, 1k like minded people, daily calls with Hamza and/or other successful people! Worth it 11/10
Wow. This video was the perfect one for me. I've been in this rut of not doing the good habits and doing the bad habits for 3 weeks. Crazy how I apply to every point you made on the video lol. I found self improvement last november when i was 14 doing nnn haha. Thank you Hamza for your words.
Thank you so much i appreciate your work my bro im currently 17 and lockdown fucked me up for the past 3 years ive had severe social anxiety but just by implementing these small little actions in my life its made such a drastic change and much more manageable. self improvement is deffo needed in this day and age👊
I’m gonna be 100% honest here G. At first I was kinda disagreeing with your advice in this video, but by the end of the video, the dots connected and I now understand why your giving this advice. At first I thought; I don’t know, it seems like this could be used as an excuse to avoid taking accountability for certain standard you hold yourself to. Coming from you? Hamza? This can’t be right. But by the end of the video I realized that if I follow the advice you’ve given in this video, I will end up being more consistent with self improvement, long term. Keep doing your thing G. I’ve learned, and continue to learn a lot from you. You inspired me to post my first video a year ago lol. The work you do is important and highly appreciated G, just thought I should remind you. ✊🏼💯
In James Clear's 3-2-1 newsletter, he shared a quote that fits the context of this video. He said: “Life is a series of seasons, and what works in one season may not work in the next. What season are you in right now? What habits does that season require?” What has worked before may not always work, so what can you do to make things work right now? Personally, in summer, I used to wake up early to watch the sunrise and meditate while the sun hits my closed eyelids. In the winter, I don't have that luxury, so I meditate when I wake up and I get to see the sun hours later and I make it a mission to, no matter how cold it is, go walk outside. That's how I deal with the change of my seasons.
Forcing a schedule using daily reminds on your phone, or having a calendar has been changing my life very quickly. That along with journaling has made doing the good habits far easier, and the worse don't intefere as much. This channel, Denmo and 1M are the overall best channels to get your life on track. Don't agree with everything any one of you says, but have all fantastic advice
Thanks to Hamza after following you and listening to your videos i deleted social media (Instagram and youtube) on my mobile now i stay consistent on my work and my daily mobile screen time is less than 30 mins everyday and i exercise every single day and i realized that i am watching one of your videos that you say "Streak is toxic" thats where my life changed. Before that i always try to maintain my streak which cause me stress at the end of the day. Now i am the men who doesn't need any external motivation for doing works and i started loving learning a skill.
I was exactly going through this problem you are talking about i was always feeling disgusting by myself everytime i lost the streak for days and one time for weeks ans now this type of thinking actually makes me feel more confident on myself and will stop me from feeling disgusting from myself for this throughout my life . really thank you hamza for this video and all the videos, i really respect you and love you for what you have done for.me and for all these mens.
It’s all about the compounding effect. Like imagine eating a donut every single day. After 1 year, you will gain some weight, right? Now imagine going to the gym 3 or 4 days/week instead. After 1 year, you will gain muscle. These little things that we do, they all add up. Even if we go off track sometimes, at the end of the day, what really matters is that we make PROGRESS. What matters is that we were overall better than last year. So keep going bro!! By the way, I recently posted a video about my transformation on my channel. I would love to get some feedback from high quality men like you. Stay hard!!!
Great message. This is inevitably something you’ll experience in self-development. Especially in times of holiday. Just remember, it’s a marathon, not a race.
I appreciate the video immensely. I was feeling like complete garbage on the days that is slipped up on doing the good habits, but i didn't take a step back tot think about the progress I've made over the last few months. Thank you very much for this insight bro
I appreciate all the work you’ve done, you’ve helped me change the quality of my life in so many ways,my relationships with my family and friends are so much better and stronger than they’ve ever been I find happiness and fulfillment in my works, I’m actually enjoying working and going through pain and discomfort, thank you for what you’ve done and this will be a journey that I don’t plan on ever ending
This is an amazing video to start off the year. Most people set New Year's resolutions without setting boundaries or considering failure, which is why most fail. Not considering failure is an amazing mindset, but at the same time, it is not realistic. A great way to quit bad habits is to make it impossible for you to do it, if possible.
hey hamza i have tears in my eyes how good you are your every just relates to me at that point of time you are doing a great job bro you are the best.keep it up bro keep uploading!
Remember brothers. You must build a healthy relationship with success. Not an unhealthy one. An unhealthy one where when you miss one day on self - improvement you feel depressed. Think about how bad that is for you. Keep it healthy.
I got into a rut 2 weeks ago, now realising it's part of self improvement and gon need to stop being so perfect about my habits. Hamza keep posting, you always make us happy and entertained watching your videos even though you're screaming at the camera
I’m not gonna lie hamza I really needed this bro I was over working myself and making myself believe that even on my worst days I had to do 100 push ups but I was like I’m not consistent I’m not gonna do anything your proving to me that I was wrong thank you bro
wake up and make the unbreakable vow: my word is Iron-willed and it can never be broken when ever I say something I have to do it. once you get this engrained in your head, you will never struggle with anything in life
This is just the video I need to watch. Most the things you talked about seemed like you were talking straight to me. I understand I must get better and frustration isn't going to help me. Comparison is the killer of joy, the fastest way to ruin something special. Thank you Hamza!
Hey, thank you so much for everything. You have inspired me to start my own self improvement RUclips channel to help students and young entrepreneurs my age as well as holding myself accountable to the changes I say to make. Thank you again.
I love what he said: "If you are in a rut, you've set the bar to entry too high." That's what really got me out of my rut. Just doing something, anything, is better than nothing. I used to want to go to the gym an hour a day, but it was too much for me at my level. So I decided I was gonna do a little basic calisthenics, just 10 minutes, every day. From there, I got so much more consistent. I just had to remove the excuse of not being perfect.
Hamza, your positivity inspires me to look my life from an optimistic standpoint. A better tomorrow starts with a better today. I am grateful for your wise words.
This is the best advice on consistency I’ve ever heard. I always thought of nofap “streaks” as bullshit and you’ve pointed it out. Thank you so much hamza. I am 13 years old and 11 months on self development and improvement and it was the best thing I’ve ever been on. Thank you so much.
That’s the best mindset you could get on self-improvement jurney. I have mentioned it on your video about no-fap. Enjoy small steps bros and keep growing
This is such a great topic for the 1st day of the new year. I definitely see myself when you talk about people setting the bar too high so they end up doing nothing. I think the biggest goal for me this year is losing the ago and having the ability to do the simplified version of the habits that I want to create.
Hamza, I can’t stop stressing out about everything. I hate myself so much since I feel like I’m not good at anything. I’m 16 yrs old and have been going to the gym, journalling and eating clean for a yr plus now. These days I’m trying to learn and pickup new skills. Despite this I feel mentally blocked from doing so, I’m so stressed and suicidal from just these thoughts and i don’t get why. A large part of my self image has been destroyed in the past 4 years due to a failed suicide attempt in 2020. My school didn’t let me join many things such as football and camps. I really blamed myself for all those 4 years and just when I started to make some progress in some aspects. I feel this daunting realization that all my troubles could start again when I begin my new school this year.
I also have a tough time making friends due to my negative attitude towards things but yeah. This isn’t some cry for help or some pity party, I just would like some advice thabks
@@vedantbhardwaj8049 seems like you have the answers yourself bro. Ive been in this situation and the solution is to do exactly what you dont want to do: solve your problems. Fix your attitude. You say you "have a tough time making friends" due to your "negative attitude towards things". You just stated the solution. Correct your negative attitude. You do that by optimizing your mental health. How? Hamza helps you take your first steps with a multi hour mental health guide. Not to mention he has one specifically for high school. You feel like you're not good at anything. Well are you? If not, get good at something. Find a passion or hobby to pursue. The only way to get out of a depressive phase is to avoid all that comforts you. If what you're doing right now isnt actively making you feel better, then why are you doing it. If you want to get out, wouldnt you do the hard things that DO make you better? Yes you would. Thats the only way to get out. I know by firsthand experience. Judge yourself by your actions, not your thoughts. Although it may be motivating thinking of all the good things you're going to do, its truly a miserable experience climbing up from the true bottom. Its not a badass montage or cut scene. Its crying yourself to sleep because you couldnt meditate for a week, or because (in my case) you couldnt do 5 pushups. Or even one. Its feeling truly hopeless every day and still going because theres no other way to get out. Even though it feels like you wont get out ever. May i recommend a podcast from Modern Wisdom featuring Dr. Jordan peterson. Truly a great listen. Hope this helps a bit G. Dont give up.
I do have the answers in a way. my confidence is just killed and I’m building that up right now by pushing myself and improving my mental health. So I’m screen time usage in general as much as possible. Purely using it for hamzas long educational vids so I can learn more things about mental health like the Dos and Donts, and podcasts from Andrew huberman here and there. That’s what I’ll do, yes I’ll do what I don’t want to do and I’ll fix my attitude through working on my mental health and actively trying to be more positive. that’s really helpful advice though I knew it, just being confronted about it made me more aware to it. Currently I’ll grind football, gym and guitar. I really want to make it into my new schools football team. These school extra activities really bother me and just thinking about it can put me into a full scale panic attack. So I need to grind football and hopefully I make it. Even if I don’t, I’ll improve my mental health from just being outside more and socializing with the people I play. Well yesterday I spent an hour meditating, an hour journalling, 1.5 hrs in the gym and 30 mins playing guitar. It did make me feel better, I just need to continually push myself and trust the process I guess. I agree this journey from what seems to be as low as one possibly could go ( tho gratitude journalling and improving my mental health over time will make my outlook more positive for sure). It currently seems that way. Unfortunately It seems that the crying oneself to sleep is a common theme, I hope you push yourself and achieve all that you would like to. never feel alone, there are millions of us who have started from nothing with the worst mental and physical health to achieve great things like hamza. We both can and will do it This isn’t some bullshit motivational talk no action thing, all these words are meaningless without our long term consistent effort
This was just the video I needed. The quality of the advice Hamza is giving in his more recent videos where he's just in front of the camera talking rather the heavily edited Jeffery/Adonis comparisons is wayy better and much more practical because he's getting them from his viewiers. Thanks bro, you've made me excited for the gym session I'm about to hit.
I've currently been going through a two week rut since late December and I'm very grateful to you for covering this topic of being inconsistent. This video's very humbling and really helpful. Thanks.
This is the only self improvement video anyone has to watch. The key is understanding that the brain learns with experience, and there are no magicall words that will make you do the things you want to do. You must try and, most definetely, fail. You have a huge ego if you think you cannot fail.
Idk how but every time I have a problem socially or mentally I watch one of your videos and you talk about my exact problems it helps a lot thank you.😀
Hamza, I recently discovered that biphasic sleep cycles are natural for human beings and before about 300 years ago, it was normal. Biphasic sleep is when someone goes to sleep, then wakes up for a few hours, and goes back to sleep. This may be why some people wake up in the middle of the night and struggle to go back to sleep. *I suspect that this time in the middle of the 2 blocks of sleep can be used for an unimaginable period of pure focus*. This was confirmed by research I did.
Bro you drop your videos at the perfect time. I just made a long post in Adonis Gang about how I wasn't being as consistent with self improvement as I would've liked.
Havent watched hamza and trying to stay off the medias but its refreshing to see him talk. Im currently sick asf right now, so i am annoyed i couldnt hit 2024 running, but im excited to not be sick. Cant wait to gym, i relate to this video though as i experienced this during this winter. I pulled myself together to just at least meditate for a bit , read for a bit, etc. and slowly i am noticing my times go up, as well as my quality of these activites.
This is my first year of meditation and self improvement which started on March 2023 and I’ve meditated 265 times. Some days I meditated twice but I still did way more than 100 days, so it’s possible if you try hard and enjoy the sweet pain of consistency
Hey Hamza Ahmed I am your biggest fan Been watching since I was 15 years old I'm 18 years old now At 17 I had gained progress but due to people thinking I'm crazy for trying to start a business in school I got carried to a psychiatric hospital and my life got ruined from there All I've come to realize today is Society fucked Everything you say and preach on being masculine is the way If a man is not masculine he will fail He's failure will be horrible I just want to say thank you for being a light For being truthful and genuine God bless you Hamza Ahmed ❤️
i just want to say thank you hamza you have taught me wonderful stuff i started watching you when i was 12 years old and want to thank you for everything you have taught me
Aim Low - Choose something that you could do, that you would do and then slowly progressively overload from there. Something Jordan Peterson preaches often. I myself have struggled with being overly hard on myself for missing days, weeks and months of being consistent on habits. Learning to keep your focus on what you have achieved already and showing yourself some self compassion can go a long way. Great Video Hamza🔥
This is actually REALLY well said. Thank you Hamza. It helps to know it's ok to NOT be at the level of performing on new habits everyday if I'm still doing way better than the year before.
i found hamza on a search for self improvement videos, that are based on actual improvement, not just easy comforting self care. i know these videos are more centered toward men, but i just wanted to say youve helped me out alot. even as an almost 20 yr old woman :)

No one will force you to go 100% self-improvement, you have to ask yourself how bad you want it and how much you're ready to sacrifise

happy first year brother!
I dont know when i started, i know it was like on late 2022, but i know how to look at the date around i started
In order not to procrastinate, you have to make sure that you don’t have time to procrastinate. Sign up for more classes, more commitments, more gym.
There is a thing called mental load, a lot of people today have a low mental load limit. If you will overwork without preparing, you will get consequences. Depression and burnout are one of these.
I find the exact opposite for me to be true. Having too many commitments causes so much mental stress that it turns into overwhelm.

But this video made me remember that I am only 13 years old and 1 year into my self-improvement journey, and that for the past month I meditated every single day, for the past month I read every day, for the past month I went to the gym 5+ times a week, and this helped me to see that I am actually improving, thanks bro.
Btw, how do I use google calendar?

I'm 16 and been on this journey for 1 year, so happy to see guys this young getting in the journey, amazing
Yeah but it's so hard to stop this addiction and now I have to wait till I can work my way up to 4 weeks without fapping.😣
Ever since I started consuming Hamza's content I've started to feel more inspired to get my shit together. Since at the time of writing this, Christmas holidays have ended and I'm back in school again. Unlike other times, I don't hate it. School work is the only purposeful/productive thing I can do right now. I've stopped consuming random bullshit content that has been rotting my brain for years and instead started watching scienceful and rather philosophical videos from RUclips. I've cut down the amount I spent on video games drastically. Since all of this I've started to feel better and better and my urge to self pleasure has also gone down drastically. Thank you Hamza for saving my life.
I needed this one. I'm in my thirties and have just discovered self improvement. This makes a lot more sense I also thought I could magically change over night. I did self improvement for about a week and then fell off. This year I'll be taking small steps to get where I want to be thank you.
Good luck!
Mate, this guy will be going places. I'm going to turn 14 in two months and I cannot just help to think how much better my life would have been if I had started when I wanted to (I was 12yo too at the time). Don't beat yourself up for it. It'll take time to be consistent but its worth it.
Same goes for you bro I’m 18 and wish I started at your age
and for you i am 24 years old and wish i started at 18
Asak Ishaan, don't have this change the past or wanting to start earlier mindset, your age is perfect for self improvement, you're ready for it, its all up from here. Think of your time in the past as a preparation for this moment. At your older age you have this great experience of knowing what it's like to miss out and waste time, now u have a greater perspective as to how to spend ur time productively. I was at your age when i wanted to start but messed up, and had a cycle of wishing to do things and wanting to change my past, trust me, if u just forget and focus on the present, it'll repay itself forever. Lose your feelings of regret and embrace a thankful and learning oriented mindset, not everyone's life is perfect and we have things that just don't go our way, you're at a better spot then me bro, u can do it. Time spent in regret and not in the present is time wasted.
Hey Hamza!
I'm 13 years old, and I'm watching this after a 1 month "rut", this has completely changed my perspective on success, progress, and consistency, I can't thank you enough.
I’ve been on Self-improvement since halfway through freshman year. I’m now halfway throughout junior year, and I needed this thank you Hamza. I think I attribute my consistency lack for ADHD.
you probably don't have adhd it is only a lie propagated by those flithy people running the feminized education system we have
Really nice insight from you Hamza. I have been struggling and have not always been as consistent as a thought I needed to be. This reminder really gave me perspective about my journey on self-improvement so far. I think you were right about the whole ego thing. My ego sometimes stands in the way which damages my progress. Thanks for the advice
I was in a rut before Christmas, Self-improvement suddenly felt like a full time job. It got boring and I hated the routine I held for the past 3 months. Over Christmas I visited my parents and purposely took a week off. I stopped ALL my self improvement habits except for one day where I hit the gym with my dad. I removed all the app timers on social media and lived like a Jeffrey.
Now I actually WANTED to get back into self improvement now that I am at home. Today felt so fucking awesome.
Today I meditated, hit the gym (hit 3 PRs), learned maths for my exam, journaled and I didn't use my phone for the whole day except watching this video (on grayscale)
If SI is too hard take a set amount off. But don't cope and do it every other week (even though that would be more than not doing the good habits at all)
proves the importance of a break
I really needed this video
Hamza make more of these kind of videos with more than beginner level content, it really helps us
Bro W Hamza. What a way to start the year. This is the exact video I needed. I’ve been on self improvement for one year and have been lifting 6-7 months before that. I’ve perfected my diet, gotten great sleep, read my Bible and still procrastinate on basic task. I’m ready to get locked in this year. I’ll get a job so I can afford AS.
You should get yourself AS. I got it for christmas and the ROI is off the rails! There’s multiple thousands, maybe tens of thousands dollars of value in just *one* month of AS! Almost 15 courses, 1k like minded people, daily calls with Hamza and/or other successful people!
Worth it 11/10

Wow. This video was the perfect one for me. I've been in this rut of not doing the good habits and doing the bad habits for 3 weeks. Crazy how I apply to every point you made on the video lol. I found self improvement last november when i was 14 doing nnn haha. Thank you Hamza for your words.
Hamza this video actually helped so much bro
Thank you so much i appreciate your work my bro im currently 17 and lockdown fucked me up for the past 3 years ive had severe social anxiety but just by implementing these small little actions in my life its made such a drastic change and much more manageable. self improvement is deffo needed in this day and age👊
ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS EVER! coming from an og viewer since 2020. tbh my favourite one after stage1 rut vid. Great work HAMMIE love u a lot.
I’m gonna be 100% honest here G. At first I was kinda disagreeing with your advice in this video, but by the end of the video, the dots connected and I now understand why your giving this advice.
At first I thought; I don’t know, it seems like this could be used as an excuse to avoid taking accountability for certain standard you hold yourself to. Coming from you? Hamza? This can’t be right.
But by the end of the video I realized that if I follow the advice you’ve given in this video, I will end up being more consistent with self improvement, long term.
Keep doing your thing G. I’ve learned, and continue to learn a lot from you. You inspired me to post my first video a year ago lol. The work you do is important and highly appreciated G, just thought I should remind you. ✊🏼💯
Hearing "Lose the ego young man!" makes Hamza sound so much like a dad. This man is epic.
In James Clear's 3-2-1 newsletter, he shared a quote that fits the context of this video.
He said: “Life is a series of seasons, and what works in one season may not work in the next.
What season are you in right now? What habits does that season require?”
What has worked before may not always work, so what can you do to make things work right now?
Personally, in summer, I used to wake up early to watch the sunrise and meditate while the sun hits my closed eyelids.
In the winter, I don't have that luxury, so I meditate when I wake up and I get to see the sun hours later and I make it a mission to, no matter how cold it is, go walk outside.
That's how I deal with the change of my seasons.
Forcing a schedule using daily reminds on your phone, or having a calendar has been changing my life very quickly. That along with journaling has made doing the good habits far easier, and the worse don't intefere as much. This channel, Denmo and 1M are the overall best channels to get your life on track. Don't agree with everything any one of you says, but have all fantastic advice
Thanks to Hamza after following you and listening to your videos i deleted social media (Instagram and youtube) on my mobile now i stay consistent on my work and my daily mobile screen time is less than 30 mins everyday and i exercise every single day and i realized that i am watching one of your videos that you say "Streak is toxic" thats where my life changed. Before that i always try to maintain my streak which cause me stress at the end of the day. Now i am the men who doesn't need any external motivation for doing works and i started loving learning a skill.
I was exactly going through this problem you are talking about i was always feeling disgusting by myself everytime i lost the streak for days and one time for weeks ans now this type of thinking actually makes me feel more confident on myself and will stop me from feeling disgusting from myself for this throughout my life . really thank you hamza for this video and all the videos, i really respect you and love you for what you have done for.me and for all these mens.
It’s all about the compounding effect.
Like imagine eating a donut every single day. After 1 year, you will gain some weight, right?
Now imagine going to the gym 3 or 4 days/week instead. After 1 year, you will gain muscle.
These little things that we do, they all add up. Even if we go off track sometimes, at the end of the day, what really matters is that we make PROGRESS. What matters is that we were overall better than last year. So keep going bro!!
By the way, I recently posted a video about my transformation on my channel. I would love to get some feedback from high quality men like you.
Stay hard!!!
Great message. This is inevitably something you’ll experience in self-development. Especially in times of holiday.
Just remember, it’s a marathon, not a race.
I appreciate the video immensely. I was feeling like complete garbage on the days that is slipped up on doing the good habits, but i didn't take a step back tot think about the progress I've made over the last few months. Thank you very much for this insight bro
The most helpful video I ve seen from Hamza
One of the best videos of yours I've seen, thanks.
It's amazing to know there's a 12 year old talking about habits, self improvement, and having a packed calendar
I appreciate all the work you’ve done, you’ve helped me change the quality of my life in so many ways,my relationships with my family and friends are so much better and stronger than they’ve ever been I find happiness and fulfillment in my works, I’m actually enjoying working and going through pain and discomfort, thank you for what you’ve done and this will be a journey that I don’t plan on ever ending
This is an amazing video to start off the year. Most people set New Year's resolutions without setting boundaries or considering failure, which is why most fail. Not considering failure is an amazing mindset, but at the same time, it is not realistic. A great way to quit bad habits is to make it impossible for you to do it, if possible.
hey hamza i have tears in my eyes how good you are your every just relates to me at that point of time you are doing a great job bro you are the best.keep it up bro keep uploading!
Thanks hamza for teaching me all these useful life skills instead of what school taught me
Remember brothers. You must build a healthy relationship with success. Not an unhealthy one. An unhealthy one where when you miss one day on self - improvement you feel depressed. Think about how bad that is for you. Keep it healthy.
I was finding videos on my new journey towards self improvement this year, and our man posted!❤
I almost clicked off this video halfway , and I am so glad that I didn't , Thank you so much hamza for these og lessons , Keep inspiring bro
Bro all you said today was so true. Your wisdom is just amazing .🔥
I got into a rut 2 weeks ago, now realising it's part of self improvement and gon need to stop being so perfect about my habits. Hamza keep posting, you always make us happy and entertained watching your videos even though you're screaming at the camera
Same after watching this video I realised it just apart of the process of improving after watching this video
This is probably the best and most important topic that you could make video about on the first day of new year
If you started self improvement yesterday, you’ve been on it for years - Jefferey
I can't even describe how good these videos are. Thank God for Hamza!
This video has helped alot, and i love to see your helping the young which i can relate to, Thanks
This mf always knocks it outta the park. Good shit man
Watching these vidoes from 3 years ago to here really helped me on my journey. Highlight videos were the books that helped me and the deep work flow.
I’m not gonna lie hamza I really needed this bro I was over working myself and making myself believe that even on my worst days I had to do 100 push ups but I was like I’m not consistent I’m not gonna do anything your proving to me that I was wrong thank you bro
wake up and make the unbreakable vow: my word is Iron-willed and it can never be broken when ever I say something I have to do it.
once you get this engrained in your head, you will never struggle with anything in life
This is just the video I need to watch. Most the things you talked about seemed like you were talking straight to me. I understand I must get better and frustration isn't going to help me. Comparison is the killer of joy, the fastest way to ruin something special. Thank you Hamza!
After having spent this Christmas a bit of a fool, I'm getting back on that path despite falling off before. Thanks for the inspirational content!
Probably the most strongest important message to date. The ego will destroy your life!
Absolute eye opener hamza, this is EXACTLY what i needed this past month, absolute eye opener god bless you brother
The best video on your channel by far.
On point
bro's smile is literally so wholesome
Hey, thank you so much for everything. You have inspired me to start my own self improvement RUclips channel to help students and young entrepreneurs my age as well as holding myself accountable to the changes I say to make. Thank you again.
Don’t become one of the people who work hard in January and forget their resolutions a month later. Slow and steady
I love what he said: "If you are in a rut, you've set the bar to entry too high." That's what really got me out of my rut. Just doing something, anything, is better than nothing. I used to want to go to the gym an hour a day, but it was too much for me at my level. So I decided I was gonna do a little basic calisthenics, just 10 minutes, every day. From there, I got so much more consistent. I just had to remove the excuse of not being perfect.
Thank you hamza,I was going through the same problem and was feeling like a failure.I am grateful that I found your channel.
This was much needed my mam. Helped me identify that i was in a rut. Gonna re-start slow bro.
Hamza, your positivity inspires me to look my life from an optimistic standpoint. A better tomorrow starts with a better today. I am grateful for your wise words.
Frickin 10 minutes and you opened my eyes. Thank you a lot. It's a marathon, not a sprint
Your video did not change my life Hamza, thank you.
Thank you Hamza, I see that my mindset and ego change in bad way. I will change my mindset and don’t overthink when I will had a bad day
This is the best advice on consistency I’ve ever heard. I always thought of nofap “streaks” as bullshit and you’ve pointed it out. Thank you so much hamza. I am 13 years old and 11 months on self development and improvement and it was the best thing I’ve ever been on. Thank you so much.
That’s the best mindset you could get on self-improvement jurney. I have mentioned it on your video about no-fap. Enjoy small steps bros and keep growing
Damn man!
This video should be paid, premium lessons right here🔥
This is such a great topic for the 1st day of the new year. I definitely see myself when you talk about people setting the bar too high so they end up doing nothing. I think the biggest goal for me this year is losing the ago and having the ability to do the simplified version of the habits that I want to create.
Hamza, I can’t stop stressing out about everything. I hate myself so much since I feel like I’m not good at anything. I’m 16 yrs old and have been going to the gym, journalling and eating clean for a yr plus now. These days I’m trying to learn and pickup new skills. Despite this I feel mentally blocked from doing so, I’m so stressed and suicidal from just these thoughts and i don’t get why. A large part of my self image has been destroyed in the past 4 years due to a failed suicide attempt in 2020. My school didn’t let me join many things such as football and camps. I really blamed myself for all those 4 years and just when I started to make some progress in some aspects. I feel this daunting realization that all my troubles could start again when I begin my new school this year.
I also have a tough time making friends due to my negative attitude towards things but yeah. This isn’t some cry for help or some pity party, I just would like some advice thabks
@@vedantbhardwaj8049try quitting self improvement and focus on improving yourself
@@vedantbhardwaj8049 seems like you have the answers yourself bro. Ive been in this situation and the solution is to do exactly what you dont want to do: solve your problems. Fix your attitude. You say you "have a tough time making friends" due to your "negative attitude towards things". You just stated the solution. Correct your negative attitude. You do that by optimizing your mental health. How? Hamza helps you take your first steps with a multi hour mental health guide. Not to mention he has one specifically for high school.
You feel like you're not good at anything. Well are you? If not, get good at something. Find a passion or hobby to pursue.
The only way to get out of a depressive phase is to avoid all that comforts you. If what you're doing right now isnt actively making you feel better, then why are you doing it. If you want to get out, wouldnt you do the hard things that DO make you better? Yes you would. Thats the only way to get out. I know by firsthand experience.
Judge yourself by your actions, not your thoughts.
Although it may be motivating thinking of all the good things you're going to do, its truly a miserable experience climbing up from the true bottom. Its not a badass montage or cut scene. Its crying yourself to sleep because you couldnt meditate for a week, or because (in my case) you couldnt do 5 pushups. Or even one. Its feeling truly hopeless every day and still going because theres no other way to get out. Even though it feels like you wont get out ever.
May i recommend a podcast from Modern Wisdom featuring Dr. Jordan peterson. Truly a great listen.
Hope this helps a bit G. Dont give up.
I do have the answers in a way. my confidence is just killed and I’m building that up right now by pushing myself and improving my mental health. So I’m screen time usage in general as much as possible. Purely using it for hamzas long educational vids so I can learn more things about mental health like the Dos and Donts, and podcasts from Andrew huberman here and there. That’s what I’ll do, yes I’ll do what I don’t want to do and I’ll fix my attitude through working on my mental health and actively trying to be more positive. that’s really helpful advice though I knew it, just being confronted about it made me more aware to it.
Currently I’ll grind football, gym and guitar. I really want to make it into my new schools football team. These school extra activities really bother me and just thinking about it can put me into a full scale panic attack. So I need to grind football and hopefully I make it. Even if I don’t, I’ll improve my mental health from just being outside more and socializing with the people I play. Well yesterday I spent an hour meditating, an hour journalling, 1.5 hrs in the gym and 30 mins playing guitar. It did make me feel better, I just need to continually push myself and trust the process I guess.
I agree this journey from what seems to be as low as one possibly could go ( tho gratitude journalling and improving my mental health over time will make my outlook more positive for sure). It currently seems that way. Unfortunately It seems that the crying oneself to sleep is a common theme, I hope you push yourself and achieve all that you would like to. never feel alone, there are millions of us who have started from nothing with the worst mental and physical health to achieve great things like hamza.
We both can and will do it
This isn’t some bullshit motivational talk no action thing, all these words are meaningless without our long term consistent effort
Also I want to thank you for taking the time to read and reply to my message, it means alot to me and I appreciate you for doing that
This was just the video I needed. The quality of the advice Hamza is giving in his more recent videos where he's just in front of the camera talking rather the heavily edited Jeffery/Adonis comparisons is wayy better and much more practical because he's getting them from his viewiers. Thanks bro, you've made me excited for the gym session I'm about to hit.
I've currently been going through a two week rut since late December and I'm very grateful to you for covering this topic of being inconsistent. This video's very humbling and really helpful. Thanks.
This is the only self improvement video anyone has to watch. The key is understanding that the brain learns with experience, and there are no magicall words that will make you do the things you want to do. You must try and, most definetely, fail. You have a huge ego if you think you cannot fail.
Idk how but every time I have a problem socially or mentally I watch one of your videos and you talk about my exact problems it helps a lot thank you.😀
Hamza, I recently discovered that biphasic sleep cycles are natural for human beings and before about 300 years ago, it was normal. Biphasic sleep is when someone goes to sleep, then wakes up for a few hours, and goes back to sleep. This may be why some people wake up in the middle of the night and struggle to go back to sleep. *I suspect that this time in the middle of the 2 blocks of sleep can be used for an unimaginable period of pure focus*. This was confirmed by research I did.
Quite interesting my friend
Bro you drop your videos at the perfect time. I just made a long post in Adonis Gang about how I wasn't being as consistent with self improvement as I would've liked.
bro really spoke millions worth of advice. keep up the good work
I am 15 and I watch your videos to improve myself! I make myself stronger each day and I have the drive to stay consistent
Happy new year hamza 🎉🎉🎉
The focus is not improving the good days but improving the bad ones.
Havent watched hamza and trying to stay off the medias but its refreshing to see him talk. Im currently sick asf right now, so i am annoyed i couldnt hit 2024 running, but im excited to not be sick. Cant wait to gym, i relate to this video though as i experienced this during this winter. I pulled myself together to just at least meditate for a bit , read for a bit, etc. and slowly i am noticing my times go up, as well as my quality of these activites.
This is my first year of meditation and self improvement which started on March 2023 and I’ve meditated 265 times. Some days I meditated twice but I still did way more than 100 days, so it’s possible if you try hard and enjoy the sweet pain of consistency
Hey Hamza Ahmed
I am your biggest fan
Been watching since I was 15 years old
I'm 18 years old now
At 17 I had gained progress but due to people thinking I'm crazy for trying to start a business in school I got carried to a psychiatric hospital and my life got ruined from there
All I've come to realize today is
Society fucked
Everything you say and preach on being masculine is the way
If a man is not masculine he will fail
He's failure will be horrible
I just want to say thank you for being a light
For being truthful and genuine
God bless you Hamza Ahmed ❤️
i just want to say thank you hamza you have taught me wonderful stuff i started watching you when i was 12 years old and want to thank you for everything you have taught me
Aim Low - Choose something that you could do, that you would do and then slowly progressively overload from there. Something Jordan Peterson preaches often. I myself have struggled with being overly hard on myself for missing days, weeks and months of being consistent on habits. Learning to keep your focus on what you have achieved already and showing yourself some self compassion can go a long way. Great Video Hamza🔥
I'm glad to say that i have been on self improvment 6 months ago and only skipped 5 days in the gym. this year i hope they would be 8
Thanks Hamza for the video, really appreciate it and a Happy New Year 2024, hope it goes well for all of us 🎊🎉👍
New style of the past 3 vids is valiiiid
BREATHE TILL YOUR BALLS BULGE OUT🗣️💯
the sperm gon be on a rollercoaster
This is actually REALLY well said. Thank you Hamza. It helps to know it's ok to NOT be at the level of performing on new habits everyday if I'm still doing way better than the year before.
Grateful that I received new mindset opinions about consistency self-improvement.
Grateful for Hamza sharing this.
i found hamza on a search for self improvement videos, that are based on actual improvement, not just easy comforting self care. i know these videos are more centered toward men, but i just wanted to say youve helped me out alot. even as an almost 20 yr old woman :)
