sometimes I forget that my mind and thinking are not a final form of it

[theabsolute_now]

It's so trippy how every single thing counts and either helps or sabotages you. I try to remind myself to think about the future whenever I make a decision. Now I am more mindful of what I eat and things I do

Thanks girl! Literally just took a tour of a gym, and thought to myself "I'll sign up when I feel like it". This video called me out in the best way.

This style of thinking helped me overcome my depression. I started doing things (going through the motions), told myself I could still feel my feelings but i had to do the actions, even if it took 4 hours to clean a bathroom and i did it non efficiently I had to do it. If going through the motion put me into ‘this place’ then it was going to take me out

On “waiting for energy” I don’t think people understand how much energy our digital entertainment sucks from us. I recently cold turkeyed video games and suddenly I’m sleeping on time, getting out to pursue my interests consistently, and all that good stuff.

A lot of people cope for their instagram/gaming time when honestly, as far as keeping motivated in your life, they are poison.

you have no idea how good your videos really are, never stop

[kinny]

i lost my mother a few months ago and watching your videos has really helped. a lot of the things you talk about in these videos are things my mother would say to me and advice she would give. it’s crazy because a lot of the things you’re saying is word for word things she’s said to me and it’s nice to me. So it’s really nice to not only hear these things my mother would tell me but to hear them being expanded upon. I like to think that my mom sent me your videos to encourage me to not get stuck and keep going even with her not here. so thank you for your videos they’re very comforting and inspiring.

this honestly kinda organizes my overthinking and hyper-self awareness. ive had a "feel like it" mentality for so so long, and the fact that this video was recommended to me definitely felt like a wake up call lolll. love your perspective and how you compare it to other real life experiences. its pretty comforting knowing im not the only person with a "feel like it" mentality. i hope we all can figure it out in the end :)

The gratitude game has helped me reduce the pain of the guilt I feel for making excuses to avoid growth. The balance is coming in tiny steps, thank you for your words!

[Mathoose]

Yessss. For waking up early I’d suggest going on a nice walk. It’s so quiet out and you can hear the birds. I look forward to my walks now aka waking up

[Timely-udrm]

This video is perfect! Waking up for me is easy because Im excited to get the day started. Im an night owl btw! Attaching habits to existing ones is so easy. I have the habit of brushing my teeth in the morning, I attached exercise and meditating to it. Didn't need to spend a month redirecting my focus on doing the habit because I attached new habits with existing ones. Starting a new habit is easier said than done. When the excuses come in, personally what helps is telling yourself why you'd love it. Why do I have to brush my teeth in the morning? I love making sure my teeth are clean. Why do I have to waste 2 minutes brushing my teeth? it'll be fast and while I brush I can think about day and what I wanna do. These are the thoughts I had when creating this habit 2 years ago. now it's just automatic like a robotic like clock work get up brush teeth. Thanks for making this video and I hope my comment helps other people enjoy the rest of your day :)

Just wanted to say, I've only recently stumbled across your musings, and I wholehearted appreciate you putting this stuff out there. I've been on a bit of a rollercoaster with my own creative journey and so much of what you present hits home hard. I know much of it empirically, but somehow the way you present it makes it feel more doable and hopeful. Thank you.

I have given up on habits. There is an alternative. When I think about doing something I let myself off the hook for having to keep at it. So maybe I see something that makes me want to work on something specific on my body, I have a very specific reason and motivation to do it, my why. So it’s not just oh I should excercise… So I do it as much as I feel like while the inspiration is high. Maybe I wonder, why do I never feel like cleaning? I realize it’s because I was looking at it as my job when I really want to focus on reading and writing and my cleaning is a support of that. So I realize why don’t I write? I don’t have a good quiet place to write, so I work on that. There is a lot surrounding things you do that can support what you want, but sometimes you have to go about it in a roundabout way to figure it all out. So I do follow inspiration.

I love how there’s no judgement here. I’m not being berated or told I need to be better by you, I’m told by someone who is human too, going through the same thing telling me how they’re figuring it out. Thank you, we’ve got this, we’re gonna make our goals come true!

Tell you what, I've been a night owl myself for many years, and what helped me to get up early was simply to use an alarm clock to brutally wake me every morning (sometimes I change the time one hour forward or back if I want to get up later or earlier). I got used to it and often wake up even before the alarm sounds. The time going to bed doesn't really matter. Even today, I often can't sleep in a structured way, but the point is that I woke up at the right time no matter how many hours I slept. Since I get tired when I drink coffee (during the day too), I simply drink coffee even in the evening or at night. To me, the point was to accept that I can't sleep at fixed times. I just take the sleep that I get. Using a nature sounds app on my Echo device helps me fall asleep faster (things like ocean waves or wind with wind chimes). Ever since I've been doing this regularly, it's become very easy now and I don't even think about it anymore. I make things easy for myself, I have food ready to eat, so I don't have to cook in the evening (here in Germany, this isn't common anyway -- people normally eat dinner at noon). But eating anything in the evening is good b/c it gives your body power to sleep. Because we eat only so we can go back to sleep. Thus, eating something in the evening helps me to get to bed earlier. But I don't force myself to get to bed early, I only force myself to get up early (except on weekends, so my body can have more freedom on weekends).

Damn I love that you prioritised this beautiful sunset light at the price of some noise rather than soaked yourself in tons of bright lamps for a crisp image.
The image looks so soft, beautiful

I love this channel! the simplicity of sitting down and crafting an arrangement of flowers whilst having a lovely conversation about the inner workings of growth. So here for this

[Infinitenumberofzachs]

I appreciate your existence so much. You’re so very inspirational.
