This morning I got lazy in bed but my unconscious mind said one sentence “do the hard work specially when you don’t feel like” . Thanks to big brother hamza
I just onr woke and iam. Soooo tired from yesterdays workout i cant feel my legs and glutes and my period is coming and i just wanna sleep, but i promessed myself to worlout and do ittt i still did'gt get out of bed iam so tired idk if i should be hard on me or truly rest cuz my body need it
@@itsme2434 Hey! you should rest and make sure to workout every week for at least 3 times a week, if you don't feel like going to the gym just half-ass the workout or just step on the door and go back! this is what i used to do and I am on my fifth year of weight lifting, you need to make the habit of training on the same days each week and make sure to train at the same time too! plan ahead and eat at least 2 grams of protein per 1 kilogram of body weight, i would recommend to buy a good-sized mirror and a weight scale make sure the lighting is good near the mirorr, take photos every week and recored your weight every morning when the week ends dived it by 7 and get the average of each week, make sure to research calories and memorise them and start counting your macros, that's all good luck out there!
Yes, this one stuck with me to. Idk why, but this one stuck. I started with calisthenics to get back in shape. I'm already in a good shape and women already hot on me, but i guess i can improve that even more. The only time i skipped workout the past 3 weeks was when i worked in 26 hours in 2 days. I really tried to do just one push up, but after 14 hours of work, your body and mind is destroyed. I couldn't even do one push up, but i was proud over the past 2 days what I've accomplished. I just didn't want to risk any injuries by pushing my body even further. Other than that, i kept going and everytime my brain wanted to hijack me, that sentence from hamza popped up and i could defeat my own brain, that wanted to tell me it would be easier to just chill.
I feel like Hamza has been sent by God for the young men of our generation. The man speaks with such eloquence and every point he makes hits home for me. Thank you Hamza for making these videos. You deserve every bit of success that you have earnt.
Im gonna sound very cocky but tbh I'm past that stage and everything this guys says is 100 percent facts this guy is spitting I learned these things without his channel but i need you guys to know what he's spitting he's not missing
@@Hamza97 Well I haven't seen too much of your videos but if there's a stage that describes putting in work consistently and expecting results I'd say I'm that. My main issue right now is my pride coming out when I talk to people and developing body in terms of getting slimmer so whatever stage that is idk still good content
it's kinda crazy how we go from thinking we are alone and we are the only person in the world who feels this way, and then start to realize how common depression is and how important it is to talk about it and know it can be defeated. you helped me to go through the past month, which was probably the worst of my entire year. Still, i can't give up. I can't let this thing beat me and leave my brothers and parents, they don't deserve suffering for my loss. Again, thank you, sorry for the essay here lol
In my experience, you gotta just robotically do it. Even if you lost the spark, animate your body towards the goal. You'll find that motivation will naturally arise as you're doing the thing.
im back here. the hardest part is accepting ive fallen off back to stage 1 from all the work ive done in the past. but im back here so theres no point in denying i have to start from scratch
I just started working out again, im 16 and i just found this channel, a lot of things are going to change from now on, thanks to this man right here 💯
I’m 18 and been training since 16. It’s the key bro work as hard as you can with it and you’ll be sorted in a few years with both women and your fitness
1. Distrust your brain. 2. Stop thinking about what your brain says. 3. Streaks are toxic, you will fail the streak. 4. Learn to lose your ego, and acknowledge your struggles. 5. Stop doing it for social validation/stop seeing it as a “challenge” 6. Accept you are imperfect. 7. Willpower is limited. Train your willpower scale. 8. Don’t focus on women/men. 9. Don’t do what your addiction craves. Just don’t do it. 10. Journal your thoughts. You can see your experiences through journaling. 11. Need to suffer. 12. Get used to telling your brain to shut up. Be critical with all your thoughts. 13. “Do the hard work especially you don’t feel like it.”
After finishing this video i was left confused, I had also made myself believe that I was not stuck in stage one. I had my cursor hovering over another self improvement video to watch but before i clicked, I remembered what Hamza had said about trusting his brain over my own, I swallowed up my dignity and decided to just give journalling a shot. As i started writing i didn't have much to write about but as i pushed through it was as though my hand started moving by itself. When i finished writing about this video and my thoughts on it I have come to the conclusion that I will not watch self improvement videos for a while and focus on meditating, dopamine detox, exercise, diet and journaling for the next few months. I am glad I ended up taking action after a self improvement video and I trust Hamza's brain to lead me on the right path!
@@matthewphilipp6115 same, I would love to hear their progress. I am starting this now. I did not realize how bad my mindset was until this video. I’ve been “trying” to self-improve, but now I realize what I must do to truly become the man I wish to be. I will come back to this video often, wish me luck mate. I challenge you to do the same. Do the hard work, especially when you don’t feel like it.
Guys what is journalling? Im not from US/UK and that word is not really clear but I think I got the meaning, is it sitting and just writing every thought that pops up on my head?
@@madbuu348 yes pretty much it is, writing all the positive and negative thoughts, your challenges, how they affect you and how it makes you feel and you'll find that it helps you understand yourself better, and also realize what you need to do to be less of "a piece of shit". I find journaling better than talking about my issues with others, it's a good way to vent without facing judgement, and before you know it, you'd have spent all the time you spent on your addiction/ bad habit journaling.
The amount of facts you are saying here is just insane.. you my friend are amazing and ur advices are golden! Keep the stuff up and u will growth so fast. wish you all the best and thank you very much!!!
I got to continue following the plan. This is what I need. Then I also need to watch Hamzas self-image video to make me doing nothing and writing my thoughts my actual baseline.
30 seconds in and this dude is spot on again!! He has just verbalised and been through what we already know but having someone to be on the other no BS side of it it feels authentic and hits home!
This dude really knows what he’s talking about. I realize I’m in this stage and been thinking about it for weeks. Happy this video popped up on my recommended
Hamza! I do accept that i am in this stage right now. I had deleted my game and stopped other activities, to stop myself from going there. But i had been quite sad and feeling pointless because of this sudden transition. Thankyou for making this very important video. Re- installing my game right now to train my will power and i would try my best to get on the track of true self-improvement. God bless you Hamza!
quitting youtube shorts, quitting weed quitting my ADHD quitting this quitting mentality I'm a human being I make mistakes but I also am accountable for them I will take action been stuck in a downward spire for 10 years it will take a toll it will show you things you like you don't like anymore and pain but I like the pain I like the hardship you wouldn't be better without this pain or stay the same. I will change the life this earth has created and maybe people around will think follow. I don't need anyone to know this feeling is enough and will only get harder and better because life will kick you down at your lowest. thank you hamza if you read this you're a top g. see you on the other side future me.
mans speaking facts I was heavily addicted to alcohol a few months back and I obviously couldn't just cut that off so I did just keep track see how much I was intaking and recording when I got the cravings started by trying to avoid those craving but not completely avoiding so that I could get control over it and just started to intake less and less overtime very well spoken wish I seen this video a year ago but happy I did it myself too we need more people like this
Months later and this video is still gold, I almost relapse and watching hamza really motivates me to do better and self improve myself. Keep up the good work and stay real‼️💯
I swear someone on the RUclips team is looking out for me for recommending me this video. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, you have no idea how much you're helping me by sharing this message.
This is gold. The observation about the nihilistic feeling of emptiness after having sex without acually having worked on yourself first, putting getting laid with some random person you like physically as the first goal and putting yourself in second place. The feeling afterwards you actually get laid is true, you realize you didn't have anything in common with that person aside from horniness, you feel empty, humiliated, it feels like the world is falling on you as you sit with that stranger to which you have no lost all kind of connection to since it was all temporary and the whole relationship was goaled towards having those 20 minutes of pleasure.
Notes I made for myself (I will come back in a bit to tell my progress): 1. Distrust your brain. All you are bad habits are symptoms of something wrong in our head (trauma and stuff like that). 2. Do not do streaks, you are setting yourself up for failure and social validation 3. Lose your ego and recognize your imperfections and that you aren't great at all, you cant fix this asap so be less shitty day by day. This will take a WHILE. 4. Track your bad habits and aim to do less and less over a given time period like month to month since you cant just go cold turkey, you will do it again 5. YOU WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU CAN HAVE IT IN FRONT OF YOU AND HAVE THE WILLPOWER TO NOT DO IT! KEEP THE JUNK FOOD AND VIDEO GAMES TO **TRAIN YOUR WILLPOWER**! Be mindful of the thoughts of wanting it while having it with you and the next day you will slightly have more willpower even if you messed up. All in all, have the craving in front of you and try your best to not do it and train your willpower. 6. Since we are all depressed/have mental health issues save women for later. You will be able to get them once you are not anxious and insecure. You will just hate yourself more by making a unhealthy relationship or trying to just get/think about girls in general. 7. Feel your cravings. Label your thoughts when you get a craving and like try to just feel it and DON'T DO IT. 8. Make your 'base attack' just sitting down with no stimulation other than a paper and pen for deep journaling for hours and hours. You are now the journaler. Journal about your trauma and the dark parts of your life that have you all messed up in terms of mental health. 9. Suffering will help you so again lose your ego and do not hate your life for suffering. 10. Tell your brain to shut up when you hear the bs of wanting to not do the bad habits and making excuses.
This literally happened with me. I was just wasting my whole day lying on bed ... Doom scrolling across the phone ... Not doing a single thing and just repeating my affirmations again and again that "I am sucessful, I have secured Rank 1 in exams, I come in top 0.1%" that happiness gave me temporary escape from the situation... I was just helplessly stuck in that cycle... Thanks to you for making this video , I never thought of it that way, that my ego is coming in between .. thanks 👍🙂
Focusing on increasing the positive habits instead of focusing on stopping the bad habits; because at the end of the day you are still focusing on bad habits. For as long as they are on your mind you'll fall back into them. Great message Hamza🙏
Hamza I've been watching your videos for a long fucking while.This video made me realise the only reason I watched you previously is to get dopamine released by thinking I'm on self improvement but clearly knew I'm stuck in stage 1.This one tho completely changed it.Youve given me the light now.All i have to do is find my way.For others reading this do the hard work especially when you don't feel like it
I needed this today. I needed it really badly. Even though I'm just a bit older I'm so glad that there is a younger man setting an example for me to follow and do better. Thank you, Hamza.
Hamza is literally the one RUclipsr who isn’t obsessed with making views and making every video based around a sponsor, they are genuinely helpful videos that reveal the truth, most videos are telling you to wake up at 4am, do 4 workouts before 9pm, blah blah. I love how he calls everyone Pussies, it’s literally the best motivational sentence anyone can say to you. Because the truth matters
Deep change takes time. It took me 6 years of practice to get to 270 days. I'm 31 now - I had a mini Jeffrey to Adonis transformation around 21-25 years old and I was on top of the world. Stay vigilant, from 25-30 I fell back down to stage 0. The hunger and motivation faded and now I am relearning how to get on track.
@@stef-ruvx yeaaaa baby! The freelance writing business ACTUALLY took off. I quit my 9-5. I've competed in BJJ 4 times since this post and won 6 medals so far. Close to blue belt. :D - 2023 is our year.
I'm hooked on youtube, I cant stop- it is my lufe , but i've started exercising and following all the tips, i feel more proud in myself, you have set my life on the right direction and although i am not there- i can see the future
1. Throw away your EGO. 2. Don't uninstall apps. 3. Forget the streaks. 4. Forget about women/sex. 5. It's not a short term thing. 6. Feel the cravings. 7. DONT TRUST YOUR MIND. Tell it to shut up. 8. DONT go for social validation. 9. Accept you are piece of shit . 10. To come out of this, you have to SUFFER. 11. KEEP A JOURNAL. 12. Consistency, consistency, consistency..... (Put the things to do on a piece of paper, if you think of deviating from it, IT'S YOUR BRAIN, GET YOURSELF IN ATTENTION , CONTROL IT AND TELL IT TO SHUT UP and fucking follow the schedule) All the best to myself and anyone reading it.
I admit I did delete my social media a month or two ago. Haven’t touched it since but I might reinstall it at this point just to enhance my willpower. You’ve given me a lot to think about. For that I thank you immensely.
I uninstalled social media due to the privacy issues alone. But I get you. You can run but you can’t hide from your addictions. Better to face them like a man
I recently hit rock bottom, going through 10 years of basically escapism and addictions, on top of long term depression, I almost committed suicide. I'm 21 now, and I've felt so lost and hopeless for so long, never knowing what to do, and not finding any help from friends or family. But after about a month of talking to people and being less isolated, I started to to make more of an effort to change, in that process I've discovered you, and in just the past 3 days I've learned more about my entire life and my troubles, started incorporated a daily routine, and goals, breaking my addictions down. It's not easy, and it's hard to accept how far gone I've really been. But I'm finally starting to make a change, and discovering what I need to do to be the best me. I have you to thank for that man, like words from God himself spoken into my ears. Thank you 1000x over, you have my appreciation and gratitude. Keep helping people like my sorry ass, they need it. 😗👍
It's so funny and surprising that a year ago when I first watched this, I was dissagreeing with everything Hamza says, I was actually getting mad and salty while listening to this. I was in my worst time then, I was depressed, fapped 15 times a day and didn't have any female attention. Now I find myself in a place where I found myself and started trusting my own wisdom, I started journaling and actually listening to my soul. I got out of depression, I am approaching my best life. After thinking about what I did to get here, everything that this man says is exactly what I did to get here. I came to the same cocnlusion without remembering this video. This shows me that this is absolutely true. Treat this video as your Bibel, I am proud to call Hamza an influencer of the youth.
I agreed with everything you said but I just didn't pay much attention to the journaling. And then you talked about the lizard brain telling you that "You don't even need to journal". I paused the video, closed my eyes and could actually feel like my brain telling me that it's not necessary and seemed to be having a conversation with it, and the brain was so freaking convincing to make me not care about journaling, I felt it's presence, for the first time. Thanks dude, you just changed my Life and I hope I might just come back to this comment later in my Life and smile while reading it. Peace! ✌🏼
I was always inclined towards spirituality, I've watched so many spiritual leaders, philosophers, and gurus and at first view I thought you were an egoistic person, with a high ego talking about bad advice to the young generation. But, the advice you are giving here I have not heard in a million philosophers, gurus or spiritual texts. They are all great, but we must first come out of the first stage. The explanation was so clear and so positively explained. That I completely changed my mind about you. Thank you.
Wow hamza bro. I am lowering my ego to zero. Idgaf about your approval i just wanted to say thank you for helping man. This journal thing is fucking amazing
The advice targeted towards not chasing women if you have messed up mental health is so comforting, I'm 16 and almost all my friends have gfs and they mock me for not having a gf so I feel a bit insecure. I know for a fact I could get into a relationship if I want to but I'm scared because I'm not ready and emotionally unstable
And brother, don't get in a relationship at that age man, you can have all the benefits of having a girlfriend without being in a relationship, but obviosuly you have to tell the girl, that you want no relationship, you just wanna live your life and have partnerships around you, that haves plenty of benefits, you get to know many girls so you can have a wide variety of experiences that will get you the ability of knowing when a girl is a good life partner or if it isn"t
Just ask yourself this question man, Why do you want a girlfriend? Does it gives you validation? You don't need it. Does she will get your life better? She won't, no one wont, YOU are the one that has to get your life better
Bro I heard about you but this is my first time actually listening to you. Im 25 now but been journaling, going to the gym and reading a lot of books on investing, becoming assertive etc since the age of 22. I can honestly say I did see an improvement in my life but I agree with the streak problem. The more you try to track the days of getting rid of your addictions, will only make it worse. I appreciate the brutal honesty in this vid.
It's currently march 30th. I'm still stuck in this stage for half a year and I don't know when it all will end. Maxwell Moltz from Psychocybernetics said, that you shouldn't talk about the results before 3 weeks has passed. It's only my first week of this attempt. I am using this badass protocol to monk mode hamza gave in his recent videos, and it is hard as fuck, I'm not gonna lie. I am already catching on depression, but i will keep going. No matter how hard it is to wake up at 6, do all the shit i told myself to do for 3 hours straight, i will fucking thrive. I know no one will see this, but if you are, i promise, that this attempt will be successful. Or else my life will get fucked.
@@samhoney1020 oh, thanks for asking i think these "waves" of self improvement (when one week you do everything like a chad and at the weekend you come back to your good old eat-play-fap routine) are getting smaller and smaller. Even though i still slack often, there is so much progress. I finally have a clear goal and a drive to do it, and I can't stress enough how crucial a routine is for dopamine detoxing, when your day is filled with productive habits, work and gratitude, you don't really have time to jack off.
@@didster4918 How's it going now? I experienced same thing, I at first weren't on this stage, I was getting 14 day nofap streaks, but now I lost my purpose, well I liked making animations, but it pays poorly so I quit it, now I have nothing to live for and I barely last 1 day. how about you?
@@guba1234 can't really say the attempt i described in this comment succeded. But this was just a wave. For a week i was completely gigachadding everything i can and then one month i waste on some bullshit, but shit happens. You just gotta live through these ups and downs of your self improvement untill you completely fix your mental health and don't have downs anymore. Thanks for asking, if you wanna talk more deeply about this, we can contact on pretty much any messager you want maybe you'll be russian and I'll finally have a good friend..
@@didster4918 bro one week?! That's really good, it means you're making more and more progress, and just so you know, you'll always have ups and downs, but I think you already know that, you just gotta increase your time of being productive, that ups and downs it most likely linked to some bad habit, for me, its fapping or overnighting, if I do these habits I'm going through a rut again. Yea bro we could contact, I have discord, but I'm not from Russia, unfortunately, I'm from Georgia, I just learned English and that's it. I think you'll succeed if you keep it up, whole one week is really big progress, but keep your ego down, and continue making progress 🔥
Professor Hamza, this video is gold. I don't have much to say about this since it's so good. I just wanna say that I will do a deep journaling ( basically writing down what my mind says without any filter or a prompt ) session everyday. You just told me how to do it so I will take action.
I am currently 15 and a half years old I suffer from OCD and anxiety, beat depression a year ago. I have been taking anti-depressants daily for 2 months now and they seem to quite help with my intrusive thoughts I have beaten 2 of my addictions yet, that were Video Games and Online Gambling but I am really struggling with my porn addiction I have had a porn addiction for over 2 years now to a point I got some sort of ED, and I signed up to the gym about a month ago and I have already seen some results, I have been on NoFap for 3 days (although it isn't my first attempt) and I am gonna do my best and listen to all of your tips and you're right af, and I am glad I found your channel, but yeah I DO feel like shit and I hate that feeling, but I am gonna keep going Of course I have got some other minor issues but they shouldn't matter to any of those reading this comment
On the topic of streaks, I started NoFap and counted every single day. It’s hard when you are constantly aware that you are not allowed to fap. I also 100% agree with the thing about streaks that he said. They are toxic and will not help you achieve your goal. When I hit my first 90 days, the last 3 days were a battle of trying not to edge. On the 90th, I said “yay! I beat my addiction” then lost the streak and said “I’m not addicted anymore, so I can go again” and I went again. And again. And again. Until 9 days of straight porn abuse hit me and I realized that my addiction was never gone, but I stopped it for 90 days, only for it to light up like a Christmas tree as soon as one tab was open. Streaks suck, don’t do it. It’s a lifestyle change, not a count of how many days.
You know it’s a serious problem when even the FBI has struggled with it. But on a more serious note, it takes a really long time to recover from an addiction. 90 days isn’t enough, 150 days isn’t enough, a full year may not even be enough. The younger you got addicted, the longer recovery will take.
This video point some aspects of my addictions in perspective. I can now level my willpower up a little higher each day to get rid of these nasty habits. Finally started to grow a voice of protest against bad habits.
I've seen his videos and all of his unfiltered videos and I have my ego in check so I really just learn and learn and learn off him. This is his most important video for what it teaches is the ground stone for improvement across all of history's civilizations including now. Very powerful stuff.
it's so hard to change my habits because i share a room with my older brother, and my whole family is riddled with bad habits. but i'm 23 and dying for confidence, integrity, and responsibility, but my depression has been really bad. ive been holding down a fun-ish job and trying to hone some skills, but my porn addiction and lack of personal space have been weighing me down considerably and noticibly draining my energy. I know how much better ill feel when i kick the habit, but ive tried so many times to do so now. your words are inspiring though. thank you for talking about this stuff, nobody ever does

@@itsme2434 Hey! you should rest and make sure to workout every week for at least 3 times a week, if you don't feel like going to the gym just half-ass the workout or just step on the door and go back! this is what i used to do and I am on my fifth year of weight lifting, you need to make the habit of training on the same days each week and make sure to train at the same time too! plan ahead and eat at least 2 grams of protein per 1 kilogram of body weight, i would recommend to buy a good-sized mirror and a weight scale make sure the lighting is good near the mirorr, take photos every week and recored your weight every morning when the week ends dived it by 7 and get the average of each week, make sure to research calories and memorise them and start counting your macros, that's all good luck out there!

4. Learn to lose your ego, and acknowledge your struggles.
5. Stop doing it for social validation/stop seeing it as a “challenge”
6. Accept you are imperfect.
7. Willpower is limited. Train your willpower scale.
8. Don’t focus on women/men.

After finishing this video i was left confused, I had also made myself believe that I was not stuck in stage one. I had my cursor hovering over another self improvement video to watch but before i clicked, I remembered what Hamza had said about trusting his brain over my own, I swallowed up my dignity and decided to just give journalling a shot. As i started writing i didn't have much to write about but as i pushed through it was as though my hand started moving by itself. When i finished writing about this video and my thoughts on it I have come to the conclusion that I will not watch self improvement videos for a while and focus on meditating, dopamine detox, exercise, diet and journaling for the next few months. I am glad I ended up taking action after a self improvement video and I trust Hamza's brain to lead me on the right path!
Hey do you have an update? Would love to hear your progress/story since then.
@@matthewphilipp6115 same, I would love to hear their progress. I am starting this now. I did not realize how bad my mindset was until this video. I’ve been “trying” to self-improve, but now I realize what I must do to truly become the man I wish to be. I will come back to this video often, wish me luck mate. I challenge you to do the same. Do the hard work, especially when you don’t feel like it.
how is the journey going mate
Guys what is journalling? Im not from US/UK and that word is not really clear but I think I got the meaning, is it sitting and just writing every thought that pops up on my head?
@@madbuu348 yes pretty much it is, writing all the positive and negative thoughts, your challenges, how they affect you and how it makes you feel and you'll find that it helps you understand yourself better, and also realize what you need to do to be less of "a piece of shit". I find journaling better than talking about my issues with others, it's a good way to vent without facing judgement, and before you know it, you'd have spent all the time you spent on your addiction/ bad habit journaling.
"Do the hard work especially when u don't feel like it"
Beautiful
The amount of facts you are saying here is just insane.. you my friend are amazing and ur advices are golden! Keep the stuff up and u will growth so fast. wish you all the best and thank you very much!!!
I got to continue following the plan. This is what I need. Then I also need to watch Hamzas self-image video to make me doing nothing and writing my thoughts my actual baseline.
How is it going boss?
You’re changing my life.
"Do the hard work, especially if you don't feel like it"
30 seconds in and this dude is spot on again!! He has just verbalised and been through what we already know but having someone to be on the other no BS side of it it feels authentic and hits home!
this is the one video i need to keep seeing over and over to get out of the first stage which i've been stuck on this stage
This dude really knows what he’s talking about. I realize I’m in this stage and been thinking about it for weeks. Happy this video popped up on my recommended
Most people needs this because this is what real talk looks like
this man is so great i cant explain it
Today I relapsed and after watching the video I came down to tears, however, I know this is necessary thank you hamza
Hamza! I do accept that i am in this stage right now. I had deleted my game and stopped other activities, to stop myself from going there. But i had been quite sad and feeling pointless because of this sudden transition. Thankyou for making this very important video. Re- installing my game right now to train my will power and i would try my best to get on the track of true self-improvement. God bless you Hamza!
I’m in tears man, I needed this. Thank you. I hope I can meet you and thank you personally one day bro. This is what I needed to hear .
quitting youtube shorts, quitting weed quitting my ADHD quitting this quitting mentality I'm a human being I make mistakes but I also am accountable for them I will take action been stuck in a downward spire for 10 years it will take a toll it will show you things you like you don't like anymore and pain but I like the pain I like the hardship you wouldn't be better without this pain or stay the same. I will change the life this earth has created and maybe people around will think follow. I don't need anyone to know this feeling is enough and will only get harder and better because life will kick you down at your lowest. thank you hamza if you read this you're a top g. see you on the other side future me.
You got this king! How are you doing?
417 days of meditation in a row and I fell back to this stage
Same
mans speaking facts I was heavily addicted to alcohol a few months back and I obviously couldn't just cut that off so I did just keep track see how much I was intaking and recording when I got the cravings started by trying to avoid those craving but not completely avoiding so that I could get control over it and just started to intake less and less overtime very well spoken wish I seen this video a year ago but happy I did it myself too we need more people like this
ive been here for ten years. thanks bro. i needed that.
This is life changing content right here, thank you sir.
Good luck brahs, we're all gonna make it.
I was literally going to fail again and then this went into my feedback. Thank You God.
The first video I ever seen from you bro, it was up from here
I honestly believe this is the best video Hamza ever made
I almost cried watching this video, my entire mindset has been changed, I will try my best to improve myself. Thank you Hamza.
rewind the last 26 seconds and sum it up in different words in a page or a text to your friend or whatever. worked for me. God bless us
Months later and this video is still gold, I almost relapse and watching hamza really motivates me to do better and self improve myself. Keep up the good work and stay real‼️💯
In my opinion yours raw videos are better, loving this podcast vibe.
I’ve been stuck for 2 years. Gonna start journaling
I swear someone on the RUclips team is looking out for me for recommending me this video. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, you have no idea how much you're helping me by sharing this message.
This video is gold
This video needs more attention.
This is gold. The observation about the nihilistic feeling of emptiness after having sex without acually having worked on yourself first, putting getting laid with some random person you like physically as the first goal and putting yourself in second place. The feeling afterwards you actually get laid is true, you realize you didn't have anything in common with that person aside from horniness, you feel empty, humiliated, it feels like the world is falling on you as you sit with that stranger to which you have no lost all kind of connection to since it was all temporary and the whole relationship was goaled towards having those 20 minutes of pleasure.
20 minutes... LOL.
You have control of your mind, you cannot allow your mind to control you. Self discipline is key to change.
I think this was one of your best video. Completely unfiltered and raw and I could really see your passion in this.🔥
When you started talking i had this urge to click to different video but i forced myself to watch it all and now I am so grateful that i did it.
Notes I made for myself (I will come back in a bit to tell my progress):
1. Distrust your brain. All you are bad habits are symptoms of something wrong in our head (trauma and stuff like that).
2. Do not do streaks, you are setting yourself up for failure and social validation
3. Lose your ego and recognize your imperfections and that you aren't great at all, you cant fix this asap so be less shitty day by day. This will take a WHILE.
4. Track your bad habits and aim to do less and less over a given time period like month to month since you cant just go cold turkey, you will do it again
5. YOU WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU CAN HAVE IT IN FRONT OF YOU AND HAVE THE WILLPOWER TO NOT DO IT! KEEP THE JUNK FOOD AND VIDEO GAMES TO **TRAIN YOUR WILLPOWER**! Be mindful of the thoughts of wanting it while having it with you and the next day you will slightly have more willpower even if you messed up.
All in all, have the craving in front of you and try your best to not do it and train your willpower.
6. Since we are all depressed/have mental health issues save women for later. You will be able to get them once you are not anxious and insecure. You will just hate yourself more by making a unhealthy relationship or trying to just get/think about girls in general.
7. Feel your cravings. Label your thoughts when you get a craving and like try to just feel it and DON'T DO IT.
8. Make your 'base attack' just sitting down with no stimulation other than a paper and pen for deep journaling for hours and hours. You are now the journaler. Journal about your trauma and the dark parts of your life that have you all messed up in terms of mental health.
9. Suffering will help you so again lose your ego and do not hate your life for suffering.
10. Tell your brain to shut up when you hear the bs of wanting to not do the bad habits and making excuses.
You are doing GODS work man bless you
This literally happened with me. I was just wasting my whole day lying on bed ... Doom scrolling across the phone ... Not doing a single thing and just repeating my affirmations again and again that "I am sucessful, I have secured Rank 1 in exams, I come in top 0.1%" that happiness gave me temporary escape from the situation... I was just helplessly stuck in that cycle... Thanks to you for making this video , I never thought of it that way, that my ego is coming in between .. thanks 👍🙂
Listening to this actually calms me down instead of angering or offending me.
Focusing on increasing the positive habits instead of focusing on stopping the bad habits; because at the end of the day you are still focusing on bad habits. For as long as they are on your mind you'll fall back into them. Great message Hamza🙏
Hamza I've been watching your videos for a long fucking while.This video made me realise the only reason I watched you previously is to get dopamine released by thinking I'm on self improvement but clearly knew I'm stuck in stage 1.This one tho completely changed it.Youve given me the light now.All i have to do is find my way.For others reading this do the hard work especially when you don't feel like it
I needed this today. I needed it really badly. Even though I'm just a bit older I'm so glad that there is a younger man setting an example for me to follow and do better. Thank you, Hamza.
The timing of this video i perfect
This video has by far helped me more than any of his other videos. Thank you Hamza. Stay strong, and stay focused my fellow men. Good luck😈
You’re so right! You keep listening to your stories/lies. And keep buying into them.
Hamza is literally the one RUclipsr who isn’t obsessed with making views and making every video based around a sponsor, they are genuinely helpful videos that reveal the truth, most videos are telling you to wake up at 4am, do 4 workouts before 9pm, blah blah. I love how he calls everyone Pussies, it’s literally the best motivational sentence anyone can say to you. Because the truth matters
I'm a girl and this video actually helped me
I can feel you talking to yourself in this video. It feels that genuine. Amazing advice, thank you.
im proud to say that ive finally gotten somewhere and i am a lot happier because of it
Deep change takes time. It took me 6 years of practice to get to 270 days. I'm 31 now - I had a mini Jeffrey to Adonis transformation around 21-25 years old and I was on top of the world. Stay vigilant, from 25-30 I fell back down to stage 0. The hunger and motivation faded and now I am relearning how to get on track.
How are you doing now brother?
@@jakemorgan7242 Back on the horse fully and on the way up from here 👌
@@ummerkasana it’s been over half a year, how are you holding up? Are you in a place you thought you’d be?
@@stef-ruvx yeaaaa baby! The freelance writing business ACTUALLY took off. I quit my 9-5. I've competed in BJJ 4 times since this post and won 6 medals so far. Close to blue belt. :D - 2023 is our year.
I'm hooked on youtube, I cant stop- it is my lufe , but i've started exercising and following all the tips, i feel more proud in myself, you have set my life on the right direction and although i am not there- i can see the future
1. Throw away your EGO.
2. Don't uninstall apps.
3. Forget the streaks.
4. Forget about women/sex.
5. It's not a short term thing.
6. Feel the cravings.
7. DONT TRUST YOUR MIND. Tell it to shut up.
8. DONT go for social validation.
9. Accept you are piece of shit .
10. To come out of this, you have to SUFFER.
11. KEEP A JOURNAL.
12. Consistency, consistency, consistency.....

All the best to myself and anyone reading it.
👌
All I can say is thank you man. I needed this
Right now I'm at the start of stage 1, so far I have failed a lot of times to do it. This man has changed my veiw on things. Thank you hamza
Fajr Salah has Been helping me so far!
I admit I did delete my social media a month or two ago. Haven’t touched it since but I might reinstall it at this point just to enhance my willpower. You’ve given me a lot to think about. For that I thank you immensely.
Last year I had bad mindset about getting rid of addiction. Thank you Hamza
I uninstalled social media due to the privacy issues alone. But I get you. You can run but you can’t hide from your addictions. Better to face them like a man
I recently hit rock bottom, going through 10 years of basically escapism and addictions, on top of long term depression, I almost committed suicide. I'm 21 now, and I've felt so lost and hopeless for so long, never knowing what to do, and not finding any help from friends or family. But after about a month of talking to people and being less isolated, I started to to make more of an effort to change, in that process I've discovered you, and in just the past 3 days I've learned more about my entire life and my troubles, started incorporated a daily routine, and goals, breaking my addictions down. It's not easy, and it's hard to accept how far gone I've really been. But I'm finally starting to make a change, and discovering what I need to do to be the best me. I have you to thank for that man, like words from God himself spoken into my ears. Thank you 1000x over, you have my appreciation and gratitude. Keep helping people like my sorry ass, they need it. 😗👍
Your mind can be the greatest tool
Or the greatest fall
Depending how you use it & what type of energy you choose to give out/ receive
It's so funny and surprising that a year ago when I first watched this, I was dissagreeing with everything Hamza says, I was actually getting mad and salty while listening to this. I was in my worst time then, I was depressed, fapped 15 times a day and didn't have any female attention. Now I find myself in a place where I found myself and started trusting my own wisdom, I started journaling and actually listening to my soul. I got out of depression, I am approaching my best life. After thinking about what I did to get here, everything that this man says is exactly what I did to get here. I came to the same cocnlusion without remembering this video. This shows me that this is absolutely true. Treat this video as your Bibel, I am proud to call Hamza an influencer of the youth.
This is best Hamza video of all time.Self improvement classic.
I agreed with everything you said but I just didn't pay much attention to the journaling. And then you talked about the lizard brain telling you that "You don't even need to journal".
I paused the video, closed my eyes and could actually feel like my brain telling me that it's not necessary and seemed to be having a conversation with it, and the brain was so freaking convincing to make me not care about journaling, I felt it's presence, for the first time. Thanks dude, you just changed my Life and I hope I might just come back to this comment later in my Life and smile while reading it. Peace! ✌🏼
Here I am, I AM smiling while reading this. :)
@@hamzaamir3305 How are you doing now? Are you journaling still?
@@hamzaamir3305 how about now my guy?
I was always inclined towards spirituality, I've watched so many spiritual leaders, philosophers, and gurus and at first view I thought you were an egoistic person, with a high ego talking about bad advice to the young generation. But, the advice you are giving here I have not heard in a million philosophers, gurus or spiritual texts. They are all great, but we must first come out of the first stage. The explanation was so clear and so positively explained. That I completely changed my mind about you. Thank you.
quality content as usual gj
Thank you friend
Wow hamza bro. I am lowering my ego to zero. Idgaf about your approval i just wanted to say thank you for helping man. This journal thing is fucking amazing
I love you Hamza. You’ve been very helpful to me. God bless you, thank you!
I’m 35 and I’m a POS, however I have a plan. This video is awesome and so raw!!! Thank you for this. Even us old dudes don’t have it figured out.
The advice targeted towards not chasing women if you have messed up mental health is so comforting, I'm 16 and almost all my friends have gfs and they mock me for not having a gf so I feel a bit insecure. I know for a fact I could get into a relationship if I want to but I'm scared because I'm not ready and emotionally unstable
And brother, don't get in a relationship at that age man, you can have all the benefits of having a girlfriend without being in a relationship, but obviosuly you have to tell the girl, that you want no relationship, you just wanna live your life and have partnerships around you, that haves plenty of benefits, you get to know many girls so you can have a wide variety of experiences that will get you the ability of knowing when a girl is a good life partner or if it isn"t
Just ask yourself this question man, Why do you want a girlfriend? Does it gives you validation? You don't need it. Does she will get your life better? She won't, no one wont, YOU are the one that has to get your life better
@@YaBoyfelipe thanks bro that's comforting to hear, I shouldn't change myself for no one
@@jaysihnk2061 yeah I ditched those guys as they were very toxic towards me and I found new friends who I value
Hes right you know.
We always overcomplicate things and that makes it worse
Bro I heard about you but this is my first time actually listening to you. Im 25 now but been journaling, going to the gym and reading a lot of books on investing, becoming assertive etc since the age of 22. I can honestly say I did see an improvement in my life but I agree with the streak problem. The more you try to track the days of getting rid of your addictions, will only make it worse. I appreciate the brutal honesty in this vid.
I want to stop watching this video but I keep coming back, hamza thankyou for keeping these old videos up when you had 2-50k subs luv ya
It's currently march 30th. I'm still stuck in this stage for half a year and I don't know when it all will end. Maxwell Moltz from Psychocybernetics said, that you shouldn't talk about the results before 3 weeks has passed. It's only my first week of this attempt. I am using this badass protocol to monk mode hamza gave in his recent videos, and it is hard as fuck, I'm not gonna lie. I am already catching on depression, but i will keep going. No matter how hard it is to wake up at 6, do all the shit i told myself to do for 3 hours straight, i will fucking thrive. I know no one will see this, but if you are, i promise, that this attempt will be successful. Or else my life will get fucked.
How's it going?
@@samhoney1020 oh, thanks for asking
i think these "waves" of self improvement (when one week you do everything like a chad and at the weekend you come back to your good old eat-play-fap routine) are getting smaller and smaller. Even though i still slack often, there is so much progress. I finally have a clear goal and a drive to do it, and I can't stress enough how crucial a routine is for dopamine detoxing, when your day is filled with productive habits, work and gratitude, you don't really have time to jack off.
@@didster4918 How's it going now? I experienced same thing, I at first weren't on this stage, I was getting 14 day nofap streaks, but now I lost my purpose, well I liked making animations, but it pays poorly so I quit it, now I have nothing to live for and I barely last 1 day.
how about you?
@@guba1234
can't really say the attempt i described in this comment succeded. But this was just a wave. For a week i was completely gigachadding everything i can and then one month i waste on some bullshit, but shit happens. You just gotta live through these ups and downs of your self improvement untill you completely fix your mental health and don't have downs anymore. Thanks for asking, if you wanna talk more deeply about this, we can contact on pretty much any messager you want
maybe you'll be russian and I'll finally have a good friend..
@@didster4918 bro one week?! That's really good, it means you're making more and more progress, and just so you know, you'll always have ups and downs, but I think you already know that, you just gotta increase your time of being productive, that ups and downs it most likely linked to some bad habit, for me, its fapping or overnighting, if I do these habits I'm going through a rut again.
Yea bro we could contact, I have discord, but I'm not from Russia, unfortunately, I'm from Georgia, I just learned English and that's it.
I think you'll succeed if you keep it up, whole one week is really big progress, but keep your ego down, and continue making progress 🔥
i didnt even know it had a name but i knew i am here and its so overwhelming
Professor Hamza, this video is gold.
I don't have much to say about this since it's so good.
I just wanna say that I will do a deep journaling ( basically writing down what my mind says without any filter or a prompt ) session everyday. You just told me how to do it so I will take action.
I am currently 15 and a half years old
I suffer from OCD and anxiety, beat depression a year ago.
I have been taking anti-depressants daily for 2 months now and they seem to quite help with my intrusive thoughts
I have beaten 2 of my addictions yet, that were Video Games and Online Gambling but I am really struggling with my porn addiction
I have had a porn addiction for over 2 years now to a point I got some sort of ED, and I signed up to the gym about a month ago and I have already seen some results, I have been on NoFap for 3 days (although it isn't my first attempt) and I am gonna do my best and listen to all of your tips and you're right af, and I am glad I found your channel, but yeah I DO feel like shit and I hate that feeling, but I am gonna keep going
Of course I have got some other minor issues but they shouldn't matter to any of those reading this comment
On the topic of streaks, I started NoFap and counted every single day. It’s hard when you are constantly aware that you are not allowed to fap. I also 100% agree with the thing about streaks that he said. They are toxic and will not help you achieve your goal. When I hit my first 90 days, the last 3 days were a battle of trying not to edge. On the 90th, I said “yay! I beat my addiction” then lost the streak and said “I’m not addicted anymore, so I can go again” and I went again. And again. And again. Until 9 days of straight porn abuse hit me and I realized that my addiction was never gone, but I stopped it for 90 days, only for it to light up like a Christmas tree as soon as one tab was open. Streaks suck, don’t do it. It’s a lifestyle change, not a count of how many days.
You know it’s a serious problem when even the FBI has struggled with it.
But on a more serious note, it takes a really long time to recover from an addiction. 90 days isn’t enough, 150 days isn’t enough, a full year may not even be enough. The younger you got addicted, the longer recovery will take.
This video point some aspects of my addictions in perspective. I can now level my willpower up a little higher each day to get rid of these nasty habits. Finally started to grow a voice of protest against bad habits.
I've seen his videos and all of his unfiltered videos and I have my ego in check so I really just learn and learn and learn off him. This is his most important video for what it teaches is the ground stone for improvement across all of history's civilizations including now. Very powerful stuff.
This is so real, a few weeks ago i deleted tiktok, but just a day later i had the urge to download it again.
And here we are again...
No man is your enemy,
No man is your friend,
Every man is your teacher!
This was a slap in the face man, a much needed one. Thank you for what you do Hamza, you really are helping people out there
The fact that this information is absolutely free is unbelievable
That is soo fuckin true brother 🙌🏻 massive respect 🙌🏻
What actions will you take from here brother?
im gonna meditate more
@@Hamza97 I need to have more self control
Realist video I’ve every watched in my life
Out of all the self improvement videos I’ve seen, this one is the most helpful. No sugarcoating pussy bullshit. Kept it real. 10/10
it's so hard to change my habits because i share a room with my older brother, and my whole family is riddled with bad habits.
but i'm 23 and dying for confidence, integrity, and responsibility, but my depression has been really bad. ive been holding down a fun-ish job and trying to hone some skills, but my porn addiction and lack of personal space have been weighing me down considerably and noticibly draining my energy. I know how much better ill feel when i kick the habit, but ive tried so many times to do so now.
your words are inspiring though. thank you for talking about this stuff, nobody ever does
1 month later how is your journey going?
i still have a long way to go , but your advices helped me allot so far
