This is a video about how i tricked my brain into liking difficult things. It's about building habits and being consistent at the gym. It's also about how to read when you hate reading.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet, but one of the keys to enjoying stuff is knowing the deeper meaning behind what you're doing. For example exercising, you should research a bit about anatomy, human biomechanics and how the body functions, and how all the muscles work together. It'll make exercising a totally different experience. The same thing applies to other activities, If you take a walk in the forest you might not think too much about the trees and plants around you, but if you take the time to go read about forest life and nature i general, you're going to notice things you never would've before, and therefore taking a walk in the forest becomes a completely different and much more enjoyable experience. You can apply this process to many aspects of your life.
hopefully this will help you and make you enjoy and appreciate stuff and life more :)
wow gr8 comment! i totally agree!
How do I apply that to school??
@@emmadora9509 Read about what you are learning, for exemple, if you are reading(idk), about Imaginary numbers, read where they are used and why they are used. Yeah. I think that ist it. Read where the thing you are learning is used and why is used.
I agree with this, I’ve exercising routinely for about a year and 6 months and the work outs have become infinitely more interesting the more I learn about muscles and the human body
Most important tip imo

In a nutshell: develop a system, not a goal.
Not just that tho - I've fantasized about the system as much as I've fantasized about the end goal.
That reminded me of Scott Adams advice; don't have a goal, have a system.
Okay but how do you conflate all the people (David Goggins for example) who are like, VISUALIZE THE END GOAL AS CLEARLY AS POSSIBLE AND NEVER LET GO OF IT
Damn there is so many good comments on this video.
@@sveha6271 a system starts with a vision; it's half vision and half habit
“And then I lost my hair”
Beard: am I a joke to you?
He looks really good without hair , tbh
@@JK-cj3qe Agreed
Bullet points :
-Do not focus on the end goal(1:00) : You'll never reach it and it's not motivating enough in day to day life)
-Abundance mindset > Scarcity mindset(3:20) : With scarcity mindset you approach a goal as sth that you don't have,which is the most times outside of your character and feels unnatural. Abundance mindset helps you approach it as sth that improves a whole sector of your life,for instance your health, because you care about this sector.
-Utilize Habit-Bunching(5:53) : Build a haibit around another habit that doesn't require effort or that you enjoy (for example make a habit of reading a chapter of a book before you go to bed or when drinking your afternoon coffee)
Thanks
Thank you!
You da real mvp
Bruh
Yes I like that idea of building a new habit with an old habit
Is it just me, ore are a lot of people trying to get there shit together right now
Everyone feels like they aren't productive enough even though they're working 40+ hours
I hate to be "that guy" since I'm a millenial but I really think technology is the problem. Everyone I know is addicted to their phone and would rather sit around scrolling through facebook than do anything else. Going to the gym or reading a book simply CANNOT compete with the internet in terms of reward sensations to our brains. Many people are starting to realize that it takes hard work and self-discipline to break free from the addictive influences of the internet. I am saying this as someone who gave up facebook earlier this month and went straight to youtube. Still working on it.
@@Nicole-tc3kd Two chrome extensions that basically do the same thing, but paired together killed off a wicked bad youtube addiction that I'd been dealing with for half a year after I had kicked facebook and reddit. Crackbook revival, and Mindful Anti Distraction. They break the instant dopamine hit cycle. I like to put crackbook at a 10 second wait, but the 3 seconds worked for other things before I grew more patient. You'll notice that you'll have clicked on videos, and within the 10 second delay you won't even remember what the video was, you were barely engaged, but you just wanted to click something. Also recommend using uBlock Origin to nuke the recommended videos on youtube's homepage. That and use the block element tool to nuke the youtube icon up in the top left corner. No need to keep going down the rabbit hole once you've gotten bored. It's time to leave. Only problem with blocking the front page is that you lose the content on channels pages, haven't figured that out, but it's not a big problem. Good luck out there
I think a lot of us are starting to realise how bad our technology addictions are. So much time is spent on social media, video games and watching videos and we don't realise how it's affecting us.
I would bet a large sum of money that it has a lot to do with why people feel so run down and are depressed. Better habits equal a better life.
I like your comment but your profile picture spooks me. Then again, I've got a weird name... Welcome to the internet.
the irony that I watched this instead of going to the gym like I planned
the video is like 10 min, could've just gone after
you should go to the gym because you are a healthy person and healthy people go to the gym, mate
@@ChrisHops22 but healthy people also watch this video
the way is watching this video in 2 parts in the gym while having breaks.
Yes, I watched this instead of studying... I could've studied after, but I had little breaks during the course of watching this, during which I surfed reddit and read the news, so this took a full day to watch. I'll try again tomorrow.
This is an amazing concept: do not focus on goals but on habits instead. I learned it by myself when struggling with yoga, working out and fancying a beautiful, strong and flexible body. I came to realize that it's quite pointless to set yourself a goal on things like working out, reading or playing an instrument. None of these are concrete goals, but buildable processes. After two years of practicing yoga consistently (1 to 1.5 hours every day), I forgot about getting flexible or how my body looked like, and without realizing it, I can now do poses I would have never dreamed I would be able to do a couple of years ago. I love doing yoga, it makes me feel like a ballerina. You are right: the key is to enjoy the process and forget about the goal. If you keep consistent, you will achieve it anyway. By the way, I guess it was not a coincidence to pick The Power of Habit as the book you put next to your coffeemaker to get it read...
you should dm him. it seems you would make a great couple. You both need to bang ASAP!
Hey Ms how are you doing?
How:
1. Operate from an abundance mindset rather than a scarcity mindset (The process is a habit part of your personality)
Reason why u go to gym is because you are an active person
Habit bunching:
Do it when you are doing a fun habit
Like my dad always said “you wanna be successful? Learn to love to work”
It's true. My first job was less than 20 hours per week and I just hated having to go to work. I had to make my own schedule and I procrastinated and did the bare minimum, did as little as I could get away with. My next job was at UPS, I had to show up and work extremely hard manually, still part time. But it was different because it felt like I was actually doing something with my hands instead of stupid computer based auditing. Still sucked, though. I kinda liked showing up and bullshitting with my coworkers, who were generally friendly. My next/current job is fulltime, and twice the payrate too. My coworkers are all great, and after switching shifts and getting to know a couple of them we've actually hung out outside of work a few times. Now, I really like my job and I have learned to love working.
There's a certain thrill to being able to get lots of stuff done, being fast, and doing quality work. There's a hope in the back of your mind that someone will notice and the idea excites you, maybe someday you'll get a promotion, and you know the whole time that you're getting paid a decent living wage to try. It's a similar thrill to what I get from getting good at a video game, it makes you feel like a badass.
I mean I could go on about how I've been dealing with procrastination in general too but this is already way too big
well said
Do the right work and this part is easy.

I just watched this video again as my teachers began to upload online classes after 3 weeks of Covid-19 break, and I just wanted to say thank you. IDK why, but you're one of the few (I'd say one of three) youtubers I watch their videos more than once, and I'm never bored. I learn something new every time, I understand you in a different way every time, and I think that's one of the many reasons your videos are so great. Thanks again man.
with the release of Avengers: Endgame I actually hit my goal of looking like Thor...
Lol, I get it.
Haha funny!
@Vizman216 He is talking about the endgame Thor where he is fat af
lol im more like Tony
Funny guy
My father told me when i was a young man " all things are hard until they are easy" I lived by that but sometimes things can get hard again. Never stop moving or moving becomes harder.
“Never stop moving or moving becomes harder.” I like that.
@Marianne True, but the saying was related to all things in life really. Like doing a new job, sometimes you might stress and struggle then suddenly 6m or 12m later things you stressed out about are just a casual task.

I came up with a quote the moment I saw this vid. “It’s better to suffer now, instead of feeling regret and misery after not doing it.”
Temporary discomfort >>> long-term regret
Usually videos like this are just a lot of water with some obvious advice and some bullshit metaphors, but this has new useful information and doesn't waste time on repeating the same thing over and over. Well done, thank you!
This is fucking genius and has probably came about at the perfect time in my life.
same here agree with you
Sounds like he just summarizes some self-help book and regurgitates it as original content with an annoying hint of arrogance plus sponsors. I'm starting to really hate this guy
@@solarlight10 Sure he does, but his summarization is what we need instead of spending all that time studying those ideas and practices ourselves right? The videos are short and simple and frankly, I think we dislike the guy because he's telling us what our lazy side doesn't want to hear. Nobody wants to be told what's best for them if it requires them changing themselves.
@@solarlight10 When in the video does he say this is his own creation? If no one wants to read books then this is the perfect video for them

Without a doubt you have the best self improvement channel on youtube. Every one of your videos is a gold mine, tysm.
Your techniques and thoughts are so perfect and most practical and logical. I love how you break down to these simple yet important points whilst others brag about vague solutions which lead us nowhere.
I used 'streaks' for a while. Taught myself French for over 2 years, every damn day, went through a bunch of courses, several workbooks, textbooks,... Worked out for 277 days straight. Took freezing cold showers for 260 days straight. Read classic literature every day for 450 straight. And a bunch of other stuff. The only goal with all of it was, 'keep this shit going.'
Jan Veidt “keep this shit going” that’s a very respectable line.
Bro that's actually inspiring. I'm starting to take cold showers too and I'm gradually building on top of it. It's great to hear your success

@@kirby1809 Same here, audiobooks and podcasts have made the knowledge acquiring easier and enjoyable. But I feel that it also can be a trap as well by creating the illusion of doing something substantial while it's actually distracting me from doing the things that, according to these books, need to be done.
@@McDoodle44 Hahaha! Yes! I've got a massive problem with wanting to go onto the next book cause they're so interesting and I forget to properly implement what I've just learnt.
Thanks for reminding me :)
Amazing, you are the first one I see addressing that. This epiphany/mindset changed completely my life last year and I'm surprised that not more people from the self-development adopt it or at least try it. I think the reason is the way our value system is conditioned to work, so for most it seems counter-intuitive to shift their focus from seeing the process as an effort to an end as a sensation or something you can enjoy. Really amazing video man. Thanks
the titles of your content are spot on!
I just finished a book yesterday called : How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, and a big chunk of it is about having systems rather than goals ... anyway thanks for your videos :)

Kinda did something similar when quitting sugar. Wanted to have a cleaner diet so when I had a sugar cravings I started considering it to be a good thing, like having a sugar craving indicates I’m not getting as much of it so I’m now a person who’s not eating sugar. Mindset was a huge thing and just willing yourself to do most things for me at least doesn’t really work.
Thanks for all the amazing content!

Oh thank you for that one

Have you grown to dislike sugar as well? When I go without sugar for a few months, all fruits seem sweeter than they are. But sugars in things like soda and candy became bad, the taste was too strong and not pleasant to eat, so I didn't crave anything processed.
would be awesome if this could work on me. i secretly define myself by my sugar craving. i could only go off it for 2 weeks and it was a horrible feeling of loss and sacrifice. i can't switch my mindset to see it as a benefit and not a loss.
''Whatever you think your identity is, you will operate accordingly''. This opened my eyes so much. Thank you.
Having a playlist I am only allowed to listen to when I workout truly is helpful. I've been working out consistently for 2 months now and I find that if you really like the music you're listening to you will want to workout just so you can listen to that song that's been stuck in your head. It has been especially helpful to change my mentality around exercise. To cultivate a positive association with exercise, I wrote down how I felt after every workout (energized, happier, proud, achieved etc.) for a month to where now I just know that when I go to workout especially on days that I don't want to, that I'll feel better (mind and body) afterward. Also, allow yourself to have days where you just can't lift as much, do as many reps, etc. Use your body as a guide to how much you can go that day because what's important is that you put in effort to keep the daily habit even if you didn't show up 100%.
Man, this actually kinda blew my mind.
I was playing with the idea of going to the gym again as new years resolution.
After watching this vid, I feel stupid about my mentality.
Waiting just for the sake of having a new years resolution is counter productive...
I'll call them up tomorrow, make an appointment and start right away.
that's how you do it, congrats
Hope you're hitting the gym right now

Translation: "I really wanted to look like Thor, instead I ended up looking like Saitama"
Yeah lmao
Glad to have you back, it's been awhile
Omg you have articulated something I have been turning over in my brain for years but never quite put together. I never seem to want the end result as much as I don't want to do the things I need to do to get it. I am all too ready to con myself into doing things that feel good in the present but are not constructive in the long term over things that are onerous in the present but will ultimately make me happier with myself.
Great video. Thanks for addressing this topic .
This is the switch that made me realize:
"Stagnation breeds destruction - you have to keep moving. You have to love the daily discipline of going to battle every single day and finding fulfillment and pleasure in the thing in the present moment for its own sake.
"
I appreciate this reminder more than you'll know.
Yeah, it made me think about people who win the lottery and how they end up "crashing and burning", bankrupt, and with no friends left. That is, the people who handle the winning POORLY which can't be everyone. I have no doubt that some are sensible and that doesn't happen.
How to trick my brain into doing hard things:
1) Don't fantasize on the end goal but enjoy the process. The feeling of fantasizing being a Greek God is different from actually going to the gym, which demotivates you from working out.
2) Come from an abundance mindset and not a scarcity mindset. Saying I NEED to practice is a scarcity mindset which makes doing things feel like a chore.
3) Use habit bunching. Combine the habits you're already doing with the habit you want to cultivate. If you drink coffee every morning you can bunch it together with reading a book while making/drinking coffee.
And thank you Joey Schweitzer, the face behind Better Ideas for creating this video :)
Btw I’m learning English at the moment. Should I say don’t fantasize “about” instead on “on”?
@@Vinckw Yes.
Generally, yes, but frankly, english as a language does what it wants, so play with it and see what sticks.
@@Vinckw One usually fantasizes about something. I think you meant "focus on." It sounds a little odd, but it's understandable.
@@Vinckw Fantasise about learning English ! FantasiZe about learning American English ;)
Wow, man! You just changed my entire perspective on habits and how Instead of relying on temporary motivation, we can simply find enjoyment in doing the things we want. And you did all of this in just a 10-minute video!😊😁

How to read infinitely:
1.Get coffee and start reading
2.Try not to drink the coffee
3.Now it's cold and you'll have to reheat it
4. Back to step 2
what is up with the distaste for cold coffee everyone seems to have? Cold is just as good imo, sometimes I spread my cup over the span of multiple hours.
@@HomerS95 Cold coffee is fine, old coffee less so. If my coffee goes cold, instead of re-heating it I add ice to it and make it its own thing. Cold can be more refreshing as well.
It's not cold coffee that's a problem, it's lukewarm/room temp coffee that's terrible
I drink cold black coffee, as well as hot black coffee. Sometimes I just spoon folgers crystals into my mouth. There is no stopping my coffee consumption. There is no rule 2.
There's actually an endorphine kick you get from the anticipation of the caffeine, so you're not wrong.
"I really wanted to look like Thor... and then I lost my hair." ICONIC.
Becomes the wrong hero, but okay XD

video: "try not to focus too much on end goals"
school system: (forces end goals on me in the form of assignments)
me:
An end goal is graduation. Assignments can be enjoyable with the right mindset, you do enough of them well and suddenly you're graduating.
What I realized so many years after the fact is that while the school system is far from perfect, it can actually be instrumental in training our self-discipline, work ethic, and time management skills. Those skills could later be applied to whatever you decide to do in life. That's another way of looking at schooling that might make you see it in a way that makes it more useful and beneficial for your future plans. It's like practice for getting stuff done later in life in your career/business/etc...
Leave the school then Your life will turn
@@awesomebychoice7603 Wow... So I'm gonna need to spend 6 years developing mediocre discipline and a few other skills?
I think this is also the reason that "New Year's Resolutioners" bail out of the gym after a month. Their motivation and goal is "hey I'm gonna lose weight" with no consideration of the work that entails.
I greatly enjoy watching your videos, because you have put the finest point of accuracy on what my problem is and what the problem is for many other people. You've earned my subscribe. Even if you don't end up making anymore videos, I have so much respect for what you've already made.
I love your channel. Found you a couple of weeks ago and now you’re part of my morning routine.
1. rather than focus on a goal, try to enjoy the process - stay in the moment and make yourself just start and you'll probably keep going (it doesn't have to be that serious or perfect. "playing" instead of "practicing")
2. operate from an abundance instead of scarcity mindset - e.g. you are an active person, a conscientious person, a meditator, a guitarist - instead of "I need to do this bc I'm not X enough"
3. habit bunching (e.g. floss in the shower, don't listen to book/podcast unless doing the thing)
"floss in the shower" made me question my life choices :D
"its like the most boring thing I've ever encountered in my life!" i felt that!
Its not boring if you push yourself into unbearable pain lol
I love treadmills. I can push myself as hard as I want.

Amazing practical content delivered in a simple way. Thanks Joey!
I have a sticky note on my computer that reads “Embrace the suck.” It motivates me to keep grinding.
Too many sex jokes
grando boy grando boi is not grando in bed
grinding tasks that you think suck isn't the same thing as learning to love the process though
Sounds gay bro
I have that pinned to my brain. It doesn't do shit.
I’ve been in a rut for the past few months. This is the most practical and salient advice I’ve gotten to help motivate me. It’s pragmatic as opposed to frou-frou, which I appreciate.
Maaaan, that's really great insight, thank you for that.
You understood this world up to it's core
You are changing my life around sir.
