How I tricked my brain to like doing hard things

Thanks so much for watching!

Just some random description stuff to help the rankings:

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.

Why am I always so motivated to get my life together at 4am in the morning 🤦🏾‍♂️

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 :)

Hey, sorry about Thor. But there is always Thanos

In a nutshell: develop a system, not a goal.

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)

Is it just me, ore are a lot of people trying to get there shit together right now

the irony that I watched this instead of going to the gym like I planned

[reynardlin]

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

[elsaaforges]

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...

Like my dad always said “you wanna be successful? Learn to love to work”

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.

“And then I lost my hair.” Best line ever! 🤣

3:8 Whatever you think your identity is, you will operate accordingly.

There is so much to be learned from that very sentence.
I love it how you keep on helping me think simpler when I have the tendency to overcomplicate things, even when I think I don't. I'm glad I've subscribed to you.

This man does not look like he listens to Migos. I just can’t imagine it.
