For the longest time I genuinely thought I had ADHD. I couldn’t focus on one thing at a time or even read a single page of a book. It wasn’t until I started dopamine detoxing that my attention span returned and I could finally concentrate on the things I wanted
Same,i too feel like i have adhd or some,but i think it is actually overstimulation from porn,jerking off,overload of sugar,youtube,social media and junk food,whenever i had time periods of abstinence from these,i would become brilliant at focus but just when i overindulge again the cycle repeats
Being on self improvement allows you to take a step back and see the world for what is. You realize that society is full of people who are overstimulated and completely lacking in basic willpower.
@@boomerok4532 I am a youtuber. Have being making youtube shorts since 2022 and I confirm. It does. Shorts videos are way more simple to make, and by making some math, I think the short content pays equal or more (depending on the topic) than normal videos if you consider the amount of time you put to make each video. And as content creator, it makes me sad. People can't watch long videos anymore. You can't make big high quality videos and expect them to pay you back. Making some 50 shorts is more profitable
the analogy of getting in ‘reps’ for your brain every time your thoughts wonder during meditation is the tipping point I needed to begin my meditation journey (again). Thank you for such amazing advice Hamza
Yeah, i started to feel like it was getting a little frustrating myself, now, counting it as reps? That is going to take my inner gym bro to work haha.
@@Youttubeuser20932 I try no thoughts but it is hard when there is noise, i will be trying to concentrate on one thing from now on, well maybe concentrating on nothing is ONE thing.
Man seeing how Hamza @6:38 is reminiscing about how bad his past was and how he got out of that by hard work . It made me think how I was in the same position hating my life , but looking back at it I’m happy on the improvement, the drive , and the will to succeed it gave me . We got it bros , it’s time to control what we can control, and be comfortable being uncomfortable.
When you over stimulate your brain with social media seeing new pointless information every 1 second your brain is programmed to have a 1 second attention span, this is why you can never stay in the moment and why you need to meditate and be mindful. Dopamine detox meditation and focusing on your mental health is the most important step you must take to fix this issue.
@@c.n9517 nice. Remember to fill in good ones, (with progressive overload), since if you just remove a big bad part of your life your mind will try and fill it out on autopilot, and that may not be the best things for you.
Now I realize why I did so poorly in university. I couldn't even focus on my homework for 30 minutes straight because I always wandered off to mindless scrolling on RUclips, Instagram and pornography. I thought I had ADHD or some sort of disorder but I came to realize it's the lack of focus that has been causing these damaging habits.
I think most of us need to learn how to maintain the focus and quality of mind under any situation. A man who can keep his mind focussed even in extremely difficult situations is truly a very very dangerous man.
Around 2-3 months ago, I started doing a daily morning routine when I watched one of hamza’s videos and also I started meditating, deleted TikTok and spend close to no time on instagram. Since then, I have been more in the present and been able to pick up a book instead of mindless scrolling and I am glad we have someone like hamza for the young men out there
Im a 13 year old from Mexico and i can say my story is somewhat similar to most peoples one. I actually never used social media because i never found it useful. The only thing I used (and still use to this day) is Discord. I started using it when i was ~9 years old, and since then, i would be 6-8 hours a day just looking at my notifications, looking for people chatting so i could join and have this dopamine rush. If there was no one chatting then Id scroll indefinitely through all my servers until i found something. 4 years in the future, i found Hamza's channel, and i couldnt be happier. After the first 2 videos i saw on him, i started to quit Discord. Instead of using it 7 hours a day, i use it for a maximum of 1 hour per week. I added a limit for my phone's usage of 1 hour. I use youtube to watch Hamza's videos or some content on nerd stuff no one cares about. Ive also talked about this whole dopamine situation and how they affected our minds. They didnt care. They go on with their lifes like nothing happens, but in reality theyre destroying themselves. I even did a whole investigation on dopamine and how social media affects the brain, and no one showed any emotions. I mean, theyre on their right to not do anything, but yeah. If u made it this far, hello! Thanks for reading.
Bro, be a kid and enjoy your life. This id for 16+ your not being mature your being a loser. All youre doing is becoming an outcast in society. You dont even have a beard why are you worried about dopamine. When people say dopamine they mean when your watching porn 8 hours a day doing hard drugs always drinking. Enjoying yourself isnt going to ruin your life, its good to learn this but you need to chill and go make friends.
The best thing is that your comment is really huge which helps increasing the reader's attention spam, bro to!d a good history and even helps people whitout you and them noticing.
i have a similar story i was a totally jeffrey at 13 jacking of video games for 8 hours a day or more not going out fat im 14 i dont jack off im still kinda fat but i got gym 6-7 times a week and i dont really play video games anymore but im thankfull i found hamzas channel early
Trust me, lowering screen time SKYROCKETS your productivity. Last exams I got straight A’s and came second in my year just because I managed to focus more. If you find yourself on tiktok or similar, think to yourself if this is going to help you towards your goals, then ditch your phone and do something that helps you get to your goals. Good luck men.
I really want to spread my experience of self improvement to as many people as I can, and in order to do that I'm going to be starting a self-improvement club at my school to help educate people about the dangers of today's modern world and help to improve themselves.
what I found helps me is just going out for a walk for 10-15 mins. Leave your phone behind/keep it in your pocket the whole time and just walk around your nearest park for a bit. Observing nature around you helps you take your mind off irrelevant things and helps ground you in the present. I tend to go for these walks when I realise I've been unproductive for a while looking at my phone and then when I get back its so much easier to crack on with productive work.
Phone addiction is the leading factor to depression in modern day. It’s a gateway to so many bad things. I made a video on it last week and it needs to be talked about more
I got a few of my friends to start gym and improve their physique. I also give my younger brother wisdom and lessons from my life and the feeling i get after that is just amazing. It makes you feel like a true leader. This self improvement thing actually works and changes life.
bro when i am down bad i always come back to this channel because you are so supportive and many can relate to what you went through. i just want to say thanks :)
thank you hamza, im 16 and I started this one year ago thank to you, after a full year i felt like a leader for the first time, i got my closest friend into self improovement, i never felt such a urge to tell to somebody something like im doing right now, i will succed hamza, i thank you so much for what you did to my life, thanks
Hamza is literally one of my greatest inspirations, especially when he speaks about his past. I recently graduated high school and moved for college and I genuinely feel that way. Seeing how he overcame his difficulties gives me hope, but most importantly, thanks to these videos I’d like to think I’m starting earlier.
Recently I noticed one thing which is by comparing my friends with myself. During this Corona, I had a workout daily, I journals every now and then, I visualised,spend time on reading new and new books, stopped social media addiction, improve my mental health. And now after all of this I can clearly see a difference between my friends and myself right now. So at the beginning the friend who doesn't work out compared to you who works out daily ;there won't be much of a difference but over time when the compound gains starts to kick in you will surely see amazing results keep on grinding let's grow together!
I call it all collectively the matrix. The cell phone, email, tv, .... its all distracting you from your own self. I actively made strides to break free from it years ago, and guard myself carefully from falling back into that trap. My method was running and meditating. I live near a beautufil forest with running trails, I would go for a 5 mile run, come home and shower, and meditate for an hour. at night I would just lay on the grass and look at the stars. Being totally lost is the first step to getting somewhere worth being. People addicted to technology are like prisoners of their own minds, unaware of themselves. Same goes for food. I went organic and saw a big change in my mind and spiritual state. Most of the food out there is toxic trash with all the chemicals and gmo's. We live in a world where if you just go with the flow you will be miserable. Its a crazy world but you got to break out of it.
@@Matthew_Ssali It's all about self serving and ego. That selfish drive is why the world is falling apart. There is no sense of collective Purpose between people. It's a world far from g-d and truth.
I don’t know how as a 15 year old who lives in a shit hole with nothing to do I’ve manage to avoid social media addiction, buts it’s genuinely sad when you see your mates or family just sitting there lifeless staring at some slags on TikTok
Hi Hamza, I just wanna apologise for my behaviour when I joined your server, I was immature and didn’t appreciate the help I received, I took a step aside from life and went monk mode for the last months, I hope you accept my apology. Thanks for everything you do brother ❤️
thanks hamza, when i was meditating today i was thinking about basketball, my assignments and random thoughts, this made me really annoyed but you just reminded me that, thats how it works, getting annoyed is simply more distraction from the breath. thanks bro.
I relate so much to the thing you said about people noticably thinking about something else while you're talking to them. Sometimes you have no choice to accept it if it's coming from somebody you love.
Speaking straight facts and I've known how much overstimulation has ruined my life in the past few years. This video has really motivated me to take action thought, great job.
I started this journey a few months ago and ever since I have been telling my overweight, bad grades, always on videogames friend about you. And last week he told me that he started watching you. It brings me tears when I think about him, because this isn't just some bulshit thing. I changed his life potentially forever. Love you Hamza keep on going❤️❤️❤️
My screen time was 66 hours per week. 9 hours+ in a day. I handle my business with my phone & I was not that much productive I was just busy scrolling & chatting. Today my screen time is 5 hours a day (work only) Today I had craving to check youtube to watch few videos and what a coincidence both YT videos pop up and they told me to stop using social media😂 I love my life. I don’t want to feel burnout so I should take break & enjoy 1 hour per day or on weekends but Idk how to enjoy. I love to play sports but My friends are moved to different cities anyways I’ll find something. Like this comment after 3/4 months to remind me of this comment also I’ll come back and tell you how I’m doing, My progress & everything. Do the hardwork especially when you don’t feel like it UMAAHH.
The reason I really like your content is because you have been where I have been. You've told us your low's and I can relate and therefore you being a success and discussing your journey gives me hope, you are the reason that I know for sure there is light at the end of the tunnel. Respect.
I've had bad habits such as biting my nails, being obese 40+BMI , never leaving my house, porn, and video games. NOW ! I've fixed some of them :) one is biting my nails, im no longer obese im slim fit i workout and I eat clean, I leave my house from time to time but still difficult im trying, porn and fapping happens from time to time I feel bad, but it was worse I could do 5 times a day and watching porn for like 5hours jesus... video games i've completely stopped them :). I can't believe how far I've got !!. I'm trying to read books but my mind... is... but still I read some books and I felt good, yet not my hobby to read books.. I SWEAR ONE FCKING DAY!!!
Thank you Hamza. I will follow your advice. Overstimulation is literally ruining my life, I hardly can watch a full RUclips video without watching shorts in between them. I even noticed that when I'm watching RUclips Shorts and that they take time to load because the internet is slow, I start feeling bad, like, I feel sick, almost nauseous. Stay strong brothers, we are all gonna make it.
It'll pass man. You'll slowly start enjoying your company and slowly start loving the loneliness. "Gatekeep" yourself for better people who deserve the better u
I don’t know if you’ll read this Hamza but I genuinely want to thank you so much for what you do. Your stories and your content is so crucially important for our young generation of men and those coming after us. Sometimes I find myself avoiding watching your videos, because deep down I know it will be harsh truths that I need to hear, and I just tell myself I don’t feel like getting emotional or all depressed right now. But when I do click on your videos I am so glad that I do. The knowledge and information you bring hits home so hard and ignites something in me to change my ways. It’s so inspirational and so important to hear. I feel as though little by little, parts of my inner being are being relieved and healed. I can only hope that for my all my brothers out there, they too will find these videos and become inspired to turn themselves around and give themselves the 110% they deserve in their lives. Thank you Hamza.
im a girl and overstimulating is so annoying fr. i don't watch porn but just tiktok, twitter following up with celebrity life. Im still in highschool rn ( finishing) and i wanna change it in college
Thanks for being so vulnerable and authentic. Sharing your experiences so honestly really helps me relate... I think that's one of the best things about your content. I wasn't even aware how addicted I've been to overstimulating activities in my life and how much of a negative impact that's had.
Literally, social media platforms like TikTok have shortened our attention spans so much and tbh sometimes as a content creator it gets so hard to not consume so much when you’re always on the platforms editing your videos 😭 like he said, we get addicted to consuming new information especially from people we wanna be more like or things that give us that quick dopamine hit.
Just finished watching the video… had to add on that meditation and journaling are two practices that are a constant work in progress just like our self improvement journeys and I’m still personally trying to get a good hang and balance of these habits in my life. Continue to put in the work 🤞🏾❤️
normally i dont watch english youtubers cause im from switzerland and even if i can speak english i dont get some parts they tell sometimes, but the way you explain things and especially what you told in this vid right here is something i really can relate to and wanted to say thank you!
Brother ....I'm sorry for this but forget adones, you are our example every time I feel stuck and feels down I come to your channel you seriously don't know how much this helped me mentally and motivated me, I promise I'll work harder on my self and make you proud 💪
I didn't think I had ADHD but over lockdown using tiktok for 7 to 8 hours a day really destroyed my attention spam to the point where I couldn't go 5 mins without checking my phone. It wasn't until after following Hamza's advice and going on a dopamine detox that my ability to focus retuned. Being able to focus is a skill that I am grateful to have.
One good way to get started is to write down everything on your mind before meditation. New thoughts will surface as you meditate, but they will be organized in your mental filing cabinet during meditation. And then you write those ideas down as well post-meditation.
the most important thing to note guys is that it is okay to play video games or chill at times but not to the point where it controls your life. prioritize your life first and get yourself in check before going into those comfort situations. we all are going to make it!!
Thanks hamza, Truly i needed this so much right now. i have overstimulate my brain so much that i get hit with this sense of boredomness and im in this state for like a week now and right now is the peak of this feeling where i dont feel like doing anything plus my brainfog are getting worse i feel braindead ,i can go talk with my friend without remembering a thing its crazy. then come your video at the right moment that hits me right in the feels and i feel like i just straight up woke up from my auto pilot mode and i can focus for 16 minute straight for your video without looking at the comments or scrolling to find the next video. I guess Its time to fill my feelings of boredomness with my goals now, and again thanks bro muahhh.
Two years ago I broke my smartphone and ended up using an old Nokia for a few days until I had a chance to get a new smartphone. I kept this phone for over 6 months. I started reading books, looking people in the eyes, talking to strangers and being so present. Smartphones are as good as they are bad.
Recently I spoke with parents and said sorry for the past. They done the same. The key is to be truthful. Say to them what is in your mind for years. It will help to you. Good luck bros! I know you can do it!
Hamza, watching some of your videos has really changed my life. Medito, spending time with nature, journaling has really helped me. I'm no longer a masturbator and no longer watch porn(habit).
This comment is a reminder for me I've been watching you for a few months lately and never took any step to change my mistakes i will not be watching any videos on my phone even yours from now on and focus on the process of life let's go
It so scary that a place like school, where you spend a big part of your life, which helps you develop, doesnt teach self improvement. The information that we get from here is as important as learning how to walk.
Dude, I really like your work, I followed and applied what you saying since a couple of months when a friend take me on the self-improvement and thank you Hamza at every videos I watch of you I want to keep doing this and go further. I'm going to teach and send this video to some of my friends as you said. Support you from France 💪
I didn't realize just how relatable this would be. I've become aware of just how hard I find it to focus on something. Especially studies. I can't go 1 full minute without being deconcentrated. It's sad honestly.
Ever since TikTok blew up which requires little to no attention span the concept went to instagram, snapchat, and also here. Dopamine Dopamine Dopamine Dopamine that's all it is
I remember the sumemer of 2021, i was fucked up. I mean everything was fine, I was no prick, i had potential and so on, BUT I was not happy. I remember going out one night in South of France - everyone had friends, girlfriends, anything, I called everyone i knew and no one responded. I felt at my lowest; one time at home Hamza's video found me - and I felt a glince of hope, I started my road to self-development. Hamza helped me enormously. I now have a beautiful and amazing girlfriend with whom I have a meaningful life, my manhood was strongly affected by his content - in such a positive way.. So yeah, thanks Hamza. P.S. Also, it would be quite interesting to see your opinion on Andrew Tate. You are kind of different, in the same time you have similar points, it'd be fascinating
Wasting time with people or things of little value is not beneficial when we can find many other things of importance in a life of which our time is valuable and at the same time short
bro I just watched ur video on our other channel bro just please dont quit maybe even just vlog your days when you are back home but bro just pls dont quit maybe even just vlog your days when you are back home but pls dont quit man
Exactly Headspace have a very interesing meditation series on Netflix. This is a really good intro to meditation. It was really a first course, which helped me to start meditate
I am genuinely unhappy right now, i was doing good for a bit with not going on my phone so much and just sitting down to read but then i just lost control,started doing bad habits again not meditating and just becoming a lost. I haven't been going to bed early and it has effected me alot in the gym. I used to bench 145 and incline bench 45 dumbbells but i can only do 140 and 40 now and im very upset with it but im not going to cry about it and im actually going to take my life back
I watched for one year TikTok, after that one video said that I have less attention span and I tested it with watching some RUclips videos that are over 10 minutes in minute 2-4 I couldn’t watch anymore and I hated that and after some days I deleted TikTok and now I can watch videos that are over 10 minutes without any problem
For the longest time I genuinely thought I had ADHD. I couldn’t focus on one thing at a time or even read a single page of a book. It wasn’t until I started dopamine detoxing that my attention span returned and I could finally concentrate on the things I wanted

Even 8 months into self improvement im oveestimulated and addicted to my phone, its such a trap for young men
have you had any relationships with girls? Feels like part of the "Staying on the phone process" is when you are dating someone.
@@BuffSoldierWithBigGun nah havent, well not like dating anyway, i feel like staying on your phone could also be a thing when your single
Praying is kind of the same as meditating. And I can do it 5 times a day. SubhanAllah.
self improvement is amazing... if done correctly and any action taken.. remember that guyss
Hi Hamza, I just wanna apologise for my behaviour when I joined your server, I was immature and didn’t appreciate the help I received, I took a step aside from life and went monk mode for the last months, I hope you accept my apology. Thanks for everything you do brother ❤️
thanks hamza, when i was meditating today i was thinking about basketball, my assignments and random thoughts, this made me really annoyed but you just reminded me that, thats how it works, getting annoyed is simply more distraction from the breath. thanks bro.
I relate so much to the thing you said about people noticably thinking about something else while you're talking to them. Sometimes you have no choice to accept it if it's coming from somebody you love.
Speaking straight facts and I've known how much overstimulation has ruined my life in the past few years. This video has really motivated me to take action thought, great job.
I started this journey a few months ago and ever since I have been telling my overweight, bad grades, always on videogames friend about you. And last week he told me that he started watching you. It brings me tears when I think about him, because this isn't just some bulshit thing. I changed his life potentially forever. Love you Hamza keep on going❤️❤️❤️
My screen time was 66 hours per week. 9 hours+ in a day. I handle my business with my phone & I was not that much productive I was just busy scrolling & chatting. Today my screen time is 5 hours a day (work only) Today I had craving to check youtube to watch few videos and what a coincidence both YT videos pop up and they told me to stop using social media😂 I love my life. I don’t want to feel burnout so I should take break & enjoy 1 hour per day or on weekends but Idk how to enjoy. I love to play sports but My friends are moved to different cities anyways I’ll find something. Like this comment after 3/4 months to remind me of this comment also I’ll come back and tell you how I’m doing, My progress & everything. Do the hardwork especially when you don’t feel like it UMAAHH.
The reason I really like your content is because you have been where I have been. You've told us your low's and I can relate and therefore you being a success and discussing your journey gives me hope, you are the reason that I know for sure there is light at the end of the tunnel. Respect.
I've had bad habits such as biting my nails, being obese 40+BMI , never leaving my house, porn, and video games. NOW ! I've fixed some of them :) one is biting my nails, im no longer obese im slim fit i workout and I eat clean, I leave my house from time to time but still difficult im trying, porn and fapping happens from time to time I feel bad, but it was worse I could do 5 times a day and watching porn for like 5hours jesus... video games i've completely stopped them :).
I can't believe how far I've got !!. I'm trying to read books but my mind... is... but still I read some books and I felt good, yet not my hobby to read books.. I SWEAR ONE FCKING DAY!!!
Thank you Hamza. I will follow your advice. Overstimulation is literally ruining my life, I hardly can watch a full RUclips video without watching shorts in between them. I even noticed that when I'm watching RUclips Shorts and that they take time to load because the internet is slow, I start feeling bad, like, I feel sick, almost nauseous.
Stay strong brothers, we are all gonna make it.
This guy actually is changing my life i just wanna say thank u hamza for being there for me,even if u don't know me ♥️
I respect u alot ♥️ frm 🇮🇳
Almost at 600K brother keep it up! Your dopamine detox advice has been some of the best I've heard in my long self improvement "career"
the nature behind you hamza, it's more beautiful than anything else in this world.
1:19 bro already caught me ☠
as i become more present and so.
i become more... lonely :/ yet not more depressed.
It'll pass man. You'll slowly start enjoying your company and slowly start loving the loneliness. "Gatekeep" yourself for better people who deserve the better u
HAMZA THE THUMBNAILS ARE SO GOOD
I don’t know if you’ll read this Hamza but I genuinely want to thank you so much for what you do. Your stories and your content is so crucially important for our young generation of men and those coming after us.
Sometimes I find myself avoiding watching your videos, because deep down I know it will be harsh truths that I need to hear, and I just tell myself I don’t feel like getting emotional or all depressed right now.
But when I do click on your videos I am so glad that I do. The knowledge and information you bring hits home so hard and ignites something in me to change my ways. It’s so inspirational and so important to hear. I feel as though little by little, parts of my inner being are being relieved and healed.
I can only hope that for my all my brothers out there, they too will find these videos and become inspired to turn themselves around and give themselves the 110% they deserve in their lives. Thank you Hamza.
im a girl and overstimulating is so annoying fr. i don't watch porn but just tiktok, twitter following up with celebrity life. Im still in highschool rn ( finishing) and i wanna change it in college
You don’t even know how much you mean to some of us, Hamza. You’ve helped me through so much. Thank you.
that thing about the torch.. man i feel you. think that's because our souls knew we were destined for greatness brother.
Thanks for being so vulnerable and authentic. Sharing your experiences so honestly really helps me relate... I think that's one of the best things about your content. I wasn't even aware how addicted I've been to overstimulating activities in my life and how much of a negative impact that's had.
Literally, social media platforms like TikTok have shortened our attention spans so much and tbh sometimes as a content creator it gets so hard to not consume so much when you’re always on the platforms editing your videos 😭
like he said, we get addicted to consuming new information especially from people we wanna be more like or things that give us that quick dopamine hit.
Just finished watching the video… had to add on that meditation and journaling are two practices that are a constant work in progress just like our self improvement journeys and I’m still personally trying to get a good hang and balance of these habits in my life. Continue to put in the work 🤞🏾❤️
"Wherever you are, be there fully"
normally i dont watch english youtubers cause im from switzerland and even if i can speak english i dont get some parts they tell sometimes, but the way you explain things and especially what you told in this vid right here is something i really can relate to and wanted to say thank you!
God loving the new tumbnails, the channels is back like it used to and even better. (Maybe less daily upload)
Brother ....I'm sorry for this but forget adones, you are our example every time I feel stuck and feels down I come to your channel you seriously don't know how much this helped me mentally and motivated me, I promise I'll work harder on my self and make you proud 💪
This is so true. So many times I open up multiple tabs of youtube and can never stay focused
I didn't think I had ADHD but over lockdown using tiktok for 7 to 8 hours a day really destroyed my attention spam to the point where I couldn't go 5 mins without checking my phone. It wasn't until after following Hamza's advice and going on a dopamine detox that my ability to focus retuned. Being able to focus is a skill that I am grateful to have.
Whole video summary:
Delayed gratification > instant gratification
One good way to get started is to write down everything on your mind before meditation. New thoughts will surface as you meditate, but they will be organized in your mental filing cabinet during meditation. And then you write those ideas down as well post-meditation.
That story with the customer service job really hit me. I recently got into self improvement for the exact same reason.
Thanks man for this😳😳😳
the most important thing to note guys is that it is okay to play video games or chill at times but not to the point where it controls your life. prioritize your life first and get yourself in check before going into those comfort situations. we all are going to make it!!
Slowing down stimulation makes everything so much clearer!
When you asked me if I already scrolled down or checked the comments, I was surprised I could confidently say no
just be patient and you will succeed.
Thanks hamza, Truly i needed this so much right now. i have overstimulate my brain so much that i get hit with this sense of boredomness and im in this state for like a week now and right now is the peak of this feeling where i dont feel like doing anything plus my brainfog are getting worse i feel braindead ,i can go talk with my friend without remembering a thing its crazy. then come your video at the right moment that hits me right in the feels and i feel like i just straight up woke up from my auto pilot mode and i can focus for 16 minute straight for your video without looking at the comments or scrolling to find the next video. I guess Its time to fill my feelings of boredomness with my goals now, and again thanks bro muahhh.
best thumbnail dude well done
Two years ago I broke my smartphone and ended up using an old Nokia for a few days until I had a chance to get a new smartphone. I kept this phone for over 6 months. I started reading books, looking people in the eyes, talking to strangers and being so present. Smartphones are as good as they are bad.
Recently I spoke with parents and said sorry for the past. They done the same. The key is to be truthful. Say to them what is in your mind for years. It will help to you. Good luck bros! I know you can do it!
Thank you hammie
thank you hamza your a legend I'm trying my best to quit these habits and your giving me that motivation to do so :)
Hamza, watching some of your videos has really changed my life. Medito, spending time with nature, journaling has really helped me. I'm no longer a masturbator and no longer watch porn(habit).
Hamza you should make a new guide on dopamine detoxing for your newer viewers
Bro I appreciate you for making this video, I’m still learning and trying to level up. I failed and failed but I’m still going.
thanks for being brutally sincere.
Thanks Hamza, I needed this
This comment is a reminder for me
I've been watching you for a few months lately and never took any step to change my mistakes i will not be watching any videos on my phone even yours from now on and focus on the process of life let's go
Hey progress check!
It so scary that a place like school, where you spend a big part of your life, which helps you develop, doesnt teach self improvement. The information that we get from here is as important as learning how to walk.
Dude, I really like your work, I followed and applied what you saying since a couple of months when a friend take me on the self-improvement and thank you Hamza at every videos I watch of you I want to keep doing this and go further. I'm going to teach and send this video to some of my friends as you said. Support you from France 💪
I didn't realize just how relatable this would be. I've become aware of just how hard I find it to focus on something. Especially studies. I can't go 1 full minute without being deconcentrated. It's sad honestly.
Thanks Hamza for everything
Ever since TikTok blew up which requires little to no attention span the concept went to instagram, snapchat, and also here. Dopamine Dopamine Dopamine Dopamine that's all it is
keep preaching
I remember the sumemer of 2021, i was fucked up. I mean everything was fine, I was no prick, i had potential and so on, BUT I was not happy. I remember going out one night in South of France - everyone had friends, girlfriends, anything, I called everyone i knew and no one responded. I felt at my lowest; one time at home Hamza's video found me - and I felt a glince of hope, I started my road to self-development.
Hamza helped me enormously. I now have a beautiful and amazing girlfriend with whom I have a meaningful life, my manhood was strongly affected by his content - in such a positive way.. So yeah, thanks Hamza.
P.S.
Also, it would be quite interesting to see your opinion on Andrew Tate. You are kind of different, in the same time you have similar points, it'd be fascinating
Hey are you a french ?
Wasting time with people or things of little value is not beneficial when we can find many other things of importance in a life of which our time is valuable and at the same time short
Loving the new thumbnail man
bro I just watched ur video on our other channel bro just please dont quit maybe even just vlog your days when you are back home but bro just pls dont quit maybe even just vlog your days when you are back home but pls dont quit man
Exactly Headspace have a very interesing meditation series on Netflix. This is a really good intro to meditation. It was really a first course, which helped me to start meditate
“Give them Bread and Circuses, and they will not revolt”
Hey bro I just wanna thank you. You’re changing so many lives with your job. Just continue making so authentic and inspiring videos💪🏼❤️
Love the more grounded thumbnails Hamza, keep it up!
these tumbnails are fire
Hamza u doing wonders for us dudes out here, we appreciate it 🤞🏾
I am genuinely unhappy right now, i was doing good for a bit with not going on my phone so much and just sitting down to read but then i just lost control,started doing bad habits again not meditating and just becoming a lost. I haven't been going to bed early and it has effected me alot in the gym. I used to bench 145 and incline bench 45 dumbbells but i can only do 140 and 40 now and im very upset with it but im not going to cry about it and im actually going to take my life back
I watched for one year TikTok, after that one video said that I have less attention span and I tested it with watching some RUclips videos that are over 10 minutes in minute 2-4 I couldn’t watch anymore and I hated that and after some days I deleted TikTok and now I can watch videos that are over 10 minutes without any problem
I haven’t meditated in a couple weeks. Grateful for the redirection 👊
Hamza your the best. For a long period of time I couldn’t focus on anything, you are an og now I feel a lot better from what I used to feel.
