The David Goggins Effect

[FiguringOutFI]

"Choosing the right game to play and making it enjoyable" that struct a cord

[sihr]

Just to clarify, Goggins advocates for hard work beyond comfort on whatever your goal is, not necessarily the gym. I agree that not everyone needs to go into the craze of ‘never satisfied’ as he does 😅, but he’s an important voice in striving pas our own excuses in achieving what we want. What he points out is that many do not get to that point of enjoying the game because they are not willing to put up with the discomfort that working hard brings at the beginning of every process.

it’s called being in a flow state, doing something that’s challenging enough to make you better but also enjoyable enough that you want to do it everyday

I’ve started going to the gym twice a week before work, and it has had such an amazing effect on my energy levels

Thank you for this! It's so important that each individual is honest with themselves for their goals and the right method for them. No point trying to be someone else..

I gym regularly and still game. Its how I stay social with my friends from back home. Everytthing in moderation.

Wow I’ve been looking for this since I read feel good productivity followed by can’t hurt me. I felt so conflicted on the 2 different mind sets!

The deal with someone like me, is gym and diet is the anchor of my life.

If I don't do it, nothing else in my life feels good. I tried reducing that dependency for quite a while, but it ended up making me very depressed. So now I am back at it.

You absolutely DON'T NEED to go to a gym. You can work out from home. The primary workout that you need is NOT lifting weights. It's walking, running, riding a bike etc. Anything that will get your heart rate up and burn calories. Gyms cost a lot of money and an enormous amount of time is wasted driving to and from them, changing clothes etc. Just buy a pair of comfortable shoes and walk out your door and begin getting exercise. Having to pack your gym bag, drive back and forth, change at the gym etc creates additional reasons for you to miss a workout. Put your shoes by the door in the evening, so you can just step into them in the morning and go out your door for your workout.

it's a keystone habit: something that you can build other habits around and has that compounding and sustaining effect. for many people, the gym is a great keystone habit, but you may have to do a little trial and error before you find one that works for you! for example, i *didn't* find fitness to be a good keystone habit. but once i started writing every morning, other habits, including morning runs, started to solidify too, so i'd say the writing is my keystone. for you, it could be the gym, journaling, or a healthy breakfast, but it could also be a pump up song and dance break in the kitchen or a meditation session. so if you're watching this and the gym thing hasn't stuck yet, don't get discouraged! just keep experimenting!

I love the video called 'The Battle You Tell No One About', on a YouTube channel called Inspiredbyflorian, it features David Goggins, btw Ali is the David Goggins off Productivity

Society will not be soft.
You have to be hard.

I found that in writing. It took me years to get here though.

"Once you feel more confident you stop playing videogames"
Woah buddy how you come up to that conclusion

I think it’s not really fair to believe that video games are necessarily bad and the mark of a dissatisfied person or a person in his/her comfort zone. I’m a goggins believer too, and run 5K regularly, and do push-ups and workouts daily, but I also play games on the weekends or every once in a while. It’s true that working out undoubtedly made me better, but I can’t say that video games are bad for you.

😂🔥🔥Ali where are you getting this background sound

[aamirjamil]

What is he wearing in right hand? Is it a watch or fitness band

[Bipolar_Business_Owners]

💚 love this. I’m biased (I worked as fitness coach and owned gyms for 20 years)…. But I’ve seen so many people transform their lives by focusing on their physical health. It always helps my mental health so much.
