THE END OF SELF-HELP

- It's time to apply the skills I've gained through minimalism, self-help, and self-improvement into an actual project!
(Apologies for the clicking noises - it's from the auto focus on my lens. I'll remember this for next time and make sure I put it to manual focus instead.)
This is reminiscent of my video on "the end of minimalism," recorded at the beginning of 2020 - • THE END OF MINIMALISM

DAY 11 of daily videos :)
I notice this in almost every video of lefie's: the titles all sound super clickbatey but turn out to be precisely what the video is about! I love this channel haha
Refreshing, isn’t it.
Bahaha! 😏
Lefie doesn’t do clickbait which is why I love her content!
Yeah I quit self help this year. Workout, journalling and meditation are the three regular non negotiables I came away with from the self help communities. Reading fiction and select educational non fiction is far better.
Time to stop preparing and just do it.
Yes!
Not to get too self-help-y… but this was a huge point of James Clear’s Atomic Habits that stuck with me. Action over Motion: motion is planning, moving around and prepping and researching et cetera et cetera, but ACTION is acting on the actual thing you want to do. Motion can be helpful, but it all comes down to action, at the end of it.
100%. At some point self-help no longer is self-help if u don't apply what you learn and just continue to fill your brain with info. I banned self-help books from my life last fall and honestly it's the best decision I ever made.
Good to hear it's working, Jos! Hoping it does the same for me...
100%! I stopped writing in my notebook to do lists and just worked on executing and I feel good! Looking forward to your comic book! I’m sure your fans would agree here! Happy to support your efforts!
Don’t worry about changing the content. I’m interested in seeing where the journey takes you. Good luck.
You've gone from minimalising your belongings, to maximising your life :D I like where your channel is going :)
Reminds me of the quote "Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one."
Marcus Aurelius
The last good emperor of Rome
Project based learning is amazing, I'm glad you're thinking about the direction you're going into. Posting daily & (omg) COMIC BOOKS is exactly my jam! I can't wait to see your furure videos :D
Between the echoing (echoey?) room and the background music with high pitches, thanks for having subtitles.
You know cats are very Zen may be you should observe Tyson - I'm sure he can help with this whole project! :-)
Ha! I should get in some practice drawing cats - I wonder if he'd sit still for me (he won't)...
"I am absolutely terrified to start this project". I agree starting is the toughest part. Overcoming that initial resistance is something I have struggled a lot with personally. Wish you luck on this journey and thanks for sharing these adventures with us.
Thanks, Aadi! 😁
I am so excited about this! Yes, you are exactly right, I can't relate to your projects. However, you are always spot on about everything. I don't need to relate to your specific projects because you convey such universal messages. I am a 57 year old divorced woman with kids your age! My life doesn't resemble your life in the slightest. And yet, most everything you say is relevant to me. This is going to be the kick in butt that I needed. I've accomplished many things and lifestyle changes. But, there are some things that I 've worked hard to gather the information and lay the groundwork.... why can't I just "take the action"? Well, here we go, I am ready! Thanks so much. You are a very insightful and kind human being. I wish you much success!
The journey always starts with taking the first step. And for me, the Nike motto has always been a mantra: Just do it! Go for it - you can do it. I suddenly realised the/a purpose of my art... it's never going to be put up at Christie's but it's going to become a family heirloom.. I hope! That makes me happy.
I would totally listen to you talk about brushing your teeth. You somehow have the ability to make everything sound exciting.
Having internalized those self-help ideals as a part of your identity will take you far! Onwards and upwards!
This is my favourite topic. Step away!!! Best thing I ever did was to dump all self-help and read novels instead.
I was bujo'ing, etc. I still use lists, but they're cursory and fairly general -- I know what I need to do and how I need to start -- 1 tiny baby step, then another, then another.
The only books I read are how to such as knitting and gardening, cookbooks, financial and WW2 historical fiction. I read the local rag, and documents for work. No self-help.
Edit: I think I'll turn one of my tasks at work into project based learning.
Lefie, this is awesome! Your motivation is contagious to me on the other side of the screen-- I love the energy
yes same! I am a self-help junkie and have reaped a lot of benefits from them like you said, but today one thought just came up to my mind that self-help is just repetitive and subjectively biased mish-mesh of nice quotes and quick conclusions in classics and research so it's better to dig in classics or journals instead. I feel like it's time to graduate from self-help!
This feels so so relatable . Your videos act like a reminder for me to just do what you intended. Most of the time my preparation, although I think are pretty important at that time are actually just my way of avoiding diving into the actual work.
LIKE 👍 I am a great fan of Herman Hesse, though he seemed to have his struggles in life. like everyone ... so your points are very valid for me! Can you post a video about 'DISCIPLINE' pls. as this relates to so many self-help topics imo - like daily meditation, journaling, sports, awareness, you name it. "I tried it all - but lack of discipline ruins it all" (quote: myself 😆)
So excited by these daily videos. Every one has helped me!
These daily videos are speaking to me! Keep em coming, thanks.
Love it! It’s the doing that moves us forward once we learned what to do
Love that you just keep expanding. That´s what it´s all about :)
I love the direction your headed. Looking forward to seeing more! ❤️
I'm so excited for this! I feel like this is what I've been going through by wanting to create but all the stuff I feel like creating right now isn't going to be applicable to me forever, so I kind of wonder if I should even do it, because I don't know what I would do after I sort of "run out" of needing to better myself.
Good luck on your new project!
Can't wait to see the wonderful Lefie spin on something new!
I feel just like you! I want to take action more often than reading books about what I should be doing.
Love the short daily vids
The struggle is real. The reason I started making videos online was because of the inspiration and help
I received from productivity types. So I know it works, but I think the consumption of selfhelp is like anything else in life. Moderation, timing and mindfulness are in order to maintain your health around it.
Truly!
Excellent , keep going
You WILL figure it out, I believe in you! 😁👍
Love it!
Excelente.
Nice... it truly is that simple. brushing example was good. edit: excited to see where you're heading to :)
Also, there is a big "duh!' atmosphere in this video 😂😅
I couldn't agree more! Self Help Books - I mean, tell me about it! It's not *self* help, for goodness sake, it's *them trying to help you* ! And helping themselves to your time and money in the process. No, real self-help is just that, working it out for yourself, your way. It's based on an ancient mystical art practiced by the indigenous Peruvians, which I call "Nimomashtic: the Art of Teaching Oneself". I'm planning on writing a book about it sometime. No, I absolutely agree: Put the goddammed books down, go out in the world, and see for yourself !
TL:DR Ready ; Fire ; Aim.
Do you, Lefie! That's most interesting!
Je t'aime bien Lefie même si je ne comprends pas tout mais ton débit en Anglais est super
Merci! 😊
Real shit.
👍👍👍👍
You are great
So true. How are you so wise already?
Neverrrrrrrr!
Nice, so you are pulling a Station eleven
isnt it weird that the things we need in time is evolving through same points around similar times? i am just like that, in a computer game, in which i need to collect all of the things around the space before facing the monster at the end of the chapter of this game? so it takes so ling to see the monster itself =) i need the same attitude as to attack it rather than perfection my skills..
02/2024... so how is your comic book coming along?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 thé intro
I love your daily videos, but I miss the wink...
Nooo...
I like comics
First lol
Oops trying to like the video but can't
