I like to have a mentality of "do at least 3 productive things today" when it comes to rest days and days off/holidays. Productive things could be uni work, walking, playing/writing music, drawing, or calling my parents, whatever accomplishes something with some effort. Even if they're small, having done at least a few tasks that isn't just passive resting makes me feel better overall.

Gosh, what a truly amazing human. I’d like to meet the people in Hampton’s life who have contributed to who he is and how he developed as such a great person.

I like that you used the "regulate". It really struck me. I have a personality type where I need very strict regulation of my days or I will go into an "idle mode" of just staring at a screen. "Doomscrolling" took a big chunk of my life and though things got done through my week, my downtime was not regulated so I just stared at the screen in my hand. I was trying to live a less structured life "like normal people do". I get a lot of criticism for scheduling my fun like "today I plan to go look at the fish at the pet store" but when left to my own with an unregulated schedule just doesn't work for me. Such a simple word, but the spark I needed to decide to live how works for me best.

Some people though I was being too hard on myself but you really have to be hard on yourself in this life to keep yourself in check.

Sunday is my rest day. I spend part of my rest day decompressing (TV/video games/general laziness), but I set a limit. My rule is that I get to have a lazy morning, but after lunch, I do any outstanding chores and plan for the upcoming week. That way I don't waste my day, but I give my mind and body the rest they need

Wim Hof's suggestion for deep breathing under an extended cold shower is, I think, precisely the kind of activity to regulate the pain/pleasure cycle. BTW, thank you for such informative, motivational content. You've helped me immensely!

I recently quit going to the gym and am starting out calisthenics, it's painful physically and personally to realize that me being able to bench press 24kg didn't translate to being able to do 15 clean pushups without my shoulders hurting (and that's just one example), it felt like all that building strength for 2 years didn't pay off at all

I'm now trying by best to get used to working out 1 hour every day with ONLY calisthenics workouts, and get used to eating less, i'm using your beginner's workout routine to start building up, i started out 2 days ago, and progress is coming insanely slow, but i'll get there...

AAAAHH I LOVE THIS MAN SO MUCH
HES SO WHOLESOME
and also just as a 3rd perspective because i myself have also been trying this recently
The pain pleasure cycle really does feel like a real thing a sort of ying and yang in my daily life:), ive been happiest recently even though id say that i have been extremely tired at times the reward of sleep is just even more amazing.:) getting a lil happier every day:) and i love to see the positivity you shine mannnn, i wish nothing but wellness and positivity in your daily life man, your videos really have helped me alot, especially that garlic video so i dont get sick, because i too sometimes feel like a caretaker:) but as long as i know i care it really is a beautiful feeling in life:) thank you so much for these videos:) please never stop:)

I love your attitude and positivity. Sometimes we need to do silly things on our day off.

Your work is a blessing to many people, Hampton

Waaaait a fucking minute. While I always enjoy your videos as a great way to stay motivated and keep a positive mindset, this particular advice slapped me like a sassy fish!

My rest days have alway consisted of being lazy and moving as little as possible, but forcing myself to resist my usual lethargic temptations like my phone, my tv, and video games, would actually help me to be more productive in my work (writing). Even if just to remedy my boredom.

Great advice! Thanks!

[starfx]
