10 Unhealthy Habits I Quit | Minimalist Habits 

Thanks again to Ritual for sponsoring this video! I love their vitamins because I love less but better. Remember to click here ritual.com/GABEBULT20 for 20% off your first month!

Apparently the first way you get dopamine at the start of your day is how you crave it for the rest of the day. So staying off your phone first thing really is key to having a better day! Better to start the day with a walk or bike ride or simply being present with one’s family/partner during breakfast

Your minimalism videos are just what I’ve needed! I’ve declutter in fits and starts but never made it a habit!! I’ve sprinted but never really thought of it as a marathon! Both of these are from 11 Common Decluttering Mistakes!! Keep on posting videos! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Always great food for thought! I've cut out diet coke (used to be addicted to it) and I just drink water/sparkling water now and 1 coffee in the morning. Like you, I've cut down on eating processed food and junk food (can't say I've cut them out 100% but close enough). Habits that are helping me are having a list of dailies: Read, exercise 60 minutes, walk outside 2-3X, play the piano, clean something, do a task, connect with someone (not necessarily in that order). I'm newly retired so my schedule is my own and I love it. The dailies keep me from watching too much RU-vid which seems to be my new addiction. I love learning (former teacher) so RU-vid and podcasts have become a bit too prevalent in my life...goal is to downsize them! Thanks for your videos!

We eat mostly plants. We walk up and down hills 3 miles every day. We hope to golf 72 times this year. I am thinking about quitting alcohol and caffeine. Both are drugs. And we help our three kids in their yards to keep our muscles strong. Earth gym.

Stopping negative self-talk is critical. One of the most powerful lessons in my life was when a friend said about what I was saying about myself "Please stop talking about my friend like that." This motivated me to silence the negative internal dialogue and completely changed my life for the better.

I SUBSCRIBED. YOU'RE GOOD LOOKING BUT IT'S YOUR PERSONALITY THAT STANDS OUT.

This is not so much an unhealthy habit that I don't do, but a healthy habit that I do. When I recognise that I'm avoiding something because I'm scared of it, I now confront that fear and deal with it, growing my comfort zone and reducing the amount of things that cause me fear. I'm now a much happier and more confident person in my late 40s than when I was say in my 20s when I recognised that this was potentially a good thing to do, however painful :D

I need to stop using my phone as I wake up. I cut the negative comments to myself. And replace it with "I'm enough but if you want, you can improve... By..." This really helps me, instead of being so hard on me, I get the option to be or to improve. Great vid!

This list was perfect for me to apply more of what I need to do. That NF quote popped me too, love it.

Sounds silly but it worked for me and friends.... I stopped calling it "going to the gym" or "work out" but instead named it "producing happy hormons" 🥳 The more effort I put into a happy hormons production session the better I feel afterwards.

Love this list, I've had similar thoughts about many of these things so this video really validates that I'm on the right track. Especially extending more grace to myself for not being perfect at a new skill right away. Thanks Gabe!

I do must of everything you said, great video love your channel and look forward to the next one. Thanks

Retired professor, volunteer, grandma. I have cut out sugar, tv. I will add theatre movies, walking, swimming. Little steps. I am 72. It is never too late.

Hi Gabe, with all the crazy stuff you put in your channel you have gave me a lot of tools to improve my life, so THANK YOU 🤗, this list is what you been telling us the last years and I use them all, and they are great habits to get rid off (except coffee. ☕️☕️, it is my treat😅). You doing fantastic my friends big blessings for you and your family.!!

The part about comparing your others now to your now. It makes perfect sense and is something that's so blatant but also something we're blind to. I'm trying to do so much and be further along with my ideas and the reason I'm not as far along as others is because I've not put the time and effort in like they have. Keep up the fantastic work dude.

The RU-vid part is so true and a hard thing to overcome. I’ve been grinding for years, but definitely seeing progress now.

Great job. Loved the Matt cameos.

Awesome video Gabe thanks

I think you made this video for me. Thanks!!! Perfect timing/

Some of these are way too into the optimization of “hustle culture”. It’s ok to listen to music. It’s ok to relax and watch a show. Just make sure you accomplish the things you want to before you sit down and scroll through Netflix or watch a show. You need to allow your brain some time to relax and shut off or you’re going to burn out. You don’t need to be thinking about what business to start at 9pm if you’ve also been working on your job/business all day and have already put some thought into it. Slow down.

I stopped using my phone as an alarm in the morning. I have an analog battery-operated alarm clock without a snooze button, so I have to get up at when the alarm goes off. I love not having my phone in the bedroom, which also it helps me not check it until much later in my day. Thanks for your videos - they have so much practical information!

❤ this video...thank you 👊🏻

hi, Could you make a video on what podcasts you listen to? i enjoy watching your videos and learn. a lot!

Thanks to you, I realized I kept buying all those supplements that sit in my cabinet and expire after I take/use them a few times! My God, all the money I have wasted. I am so ashamed of myself. 😢

I've implemented a lot of these in the last year thank you for your videos! They're constantly helping me improve myself to a better/ happier me. Sharing your video with friends ☺️

Had to cut my gym membership (#reasons) so I primarily walk for exercise and do yoga/weights intermittently. Walking after work has been nothing short of a mental health lifesaver. Great list and thanks for the free books via library app suggestion.

Gabe, a great list of habits! One of my favorite habits is Wordle and Sudoku. It fires up my brain. I have been working hard at only watching my youtube subscriptions. Treating that list like my closet, one in one out. You will definitely stay on that list!

Gabe, u and ur family r fantastic! Implementing The Word as in the Bible in your life and reading scripture every day helps with all the little stuff we do and helps in our personal lives. Chose ye this day!

Enjoyed this one. I've stopped making a lot of excuses recently and have gone back to the gym, eating cleaner and have decluttered a couple of cupboards I've avoided - even as a minimalist . And no my biceps aren't as good as yours

Amen to the shorts such an unsatisfying time suck

Thanks so much.

As a person who is trying to get out of the social media driven productivity grind. I'm trying to listen to MORE music and just generally be more chill. I can work out while I watch TV. Orjust watch TV. This video has helped to wean me off of productivity RU-vidrs entirely. This obsession has to stop

I've noticed when cutting down all excess sugar like juices, flavored yogurt, barbecue sauces I really start to taste things. If I now drink juice I feel it's dessert because it's so sweet. Don't get me wrong, I still eat cakes, chocolate but I don't need it that much since I'm not addicted to sugar.

I found it interesting that you can stay off your social media by posting and then ignoring it. For me, posting makes it the hardest because then I want to check for reactions. Not posting at all makes it easiest to ignore

Gabe speaking negative about self really hit me hard. I was even going to click out of the video, being truthful here. Thank you! This video resonated with me. I need to take some time to get to know myself. God bless you! ☺

I do not cut Netflix but I am picky with the shows that I watch. I pick shows that are deep and inspiring. 3 more years before turning 40 years old, we should definitely cut down junk food for health reasons. I still check my phone early in the morning to see the time obviously haha and to check the weather forecast coz i walk 30-40 mins to work.

I stopped watching tv in 07 and the car radio I listen to audio books( I will admit some not so motivational) I recently stared listing to podcast. Working on the phone thing. I never had a smart phone until about 6 years ago and it is addictive.

I love all these tips especially cutting down on the use of my phone- the number 1 thing I have to work on 😂

Great video. Watching series in Netflix seriously take up too much time. I cut off bubble tea and lost 4kg in six months without doing anything extra. It also saves me a lot of money 😊

Thanks x big help for a 60 plus person in NZ xx

Good suggestions. Not looking at my phone first thing is a good one for me as well as not getting started on TV series…my downfall is PBS series. Being sure I really am enjoying what I am watching…though All Creatures Great & Small was well worth the time with no regrets. 😊

Listening to this as I’m driving! ✅

well I cut out twitter, IG and some familie that sucks out all my energy.... and you know what?? I feel so free and relaxed...best things I've done for years

Didn't reflect upon it until you mentioned it here, but I basically didn't watch TV or streaming videos the past 10 years. I'd much rather watch (or listen) to something informative here on RU-vid. Generally walking/exercising while consuming media is a great easy tip to stay active (and avoid snacking) 😊👌

Easy one! The first cut away was TV and TV-shows. But I look at RU-vid instead! The positive thing with RU-vid is that it's easier to stop looking at vids when you want to! And it's your choice what/who to look at! Not TV-show where someone have decided what they want to throw in your throat!

thanks for sharing

I feel lucky growing up before the texting craze and avoided it afterwards. I avoided smart phones but they are extremely useful and use them now.

I think, yesterday just re-affirmed why, I made that rule no checking device in the morning, answering e-mails or watching RU-vid until workout and language lessons are done. I did not listen to myself yesterday and everything was out of whack because of one different thing. Also, I had to cut out TV in the past for the sake of my studies and thought about doing it again but, I enjoy a couple hours here and there 3-4 hours a week but that is it. Music, I only listen to while working out, taking a break, or meditating in some cases. And junk food, I definitely cut back on and or eat it slowly. I am more accustomed to eating dark chocolate because it is not as sweet. Over a year ago, I didn't really like dark chocolate but was hopping with time my body would get used to eating it which my body has.

Many unhealthy habits are not so obvious, so people without such videos do not even think that it is actually an unhealthy habit😮😮😮

Damn it that alarm at the start

The phone scrolling first thing in the morning is my guilty habit....I'm changing this tomorrow 🙂

Aggghhhh! Started adding up the hours I've spent watching netflix and amazon prime series - too many. Thanks for the reminder and for making Harry Potter the exception...😁

I prefer shows (and RU-vid) so much more than movies because movies take SO long to watch. I really don’t watch that much though - don’t have the time and I’m picky. Great video - I have lots of things I should cut.

Awesome video Gabe! I took social media off my phone, and I love it! I now spend more time living in the moment, not on a screen

I listen to audiobooks or catch up on calls when I go for my daily walk. Recently, I started only listening to podcasts, watching RU-vid, and podcasts during cardio at the gym. It makes it go by quick and more enjoyable. I need to get disciplined with not going on FB and IG. I do have time limits on them but it would be good to only check once or twice weekly. Always feel that I’ll miss something important. Ex. Yesterday I went on FB and saw my daughters friend had a brain tumor removed. I was able to know and reach out to her and offer help with her daughter. This made me question a reasonable amount of times per week to go on so I don’t miss major events (good and bad). Any ideas?

I have cut out eating at convenience stores by 99%. When I get gas I go to Costco or Sam's club when I can. When I go elsewhere, I do not let myself go inside! If I want their food, I buy it at the grocery store and eat it at home. I just have to be strict with myself to avoid their marked up prices.

Great video, really helpful, thank you! But I am very confused, 'cause I counted 9... 😅 Is it me, or there are 9 habits in the video? 😊

The neat thing about non processed food is that it doesn’t take much to fill you up. Processed food is designed to make you want more and more of it. - You can eat one carrot but you can’t eat just one handful of potato chips.

Awesome video Gabe. I have also a big desire to delete my social media apps, but without I can't run my business. Would be really interesting how you are doing this

I must say i do like doing a morning meditation app. Im just trying to only have useful aps

Love that NF song

Great video Gabe.

Great advice. Thanks.

I agree with everything, except Music. Music has lots of benefits for your mental health. I woul not swap it for audiobooks.

Hi Gabe, do you sell the Do Less shirt you wear?

Great video! This is an aspirational level of disciple. Do you have any tips on how to adopt a new habit? Do you use a habit tracker?

you like HP and Friends, besides what you promote in your videos it is enough for me to subscribe

Hang in there.

My 9 year old daughter wants you to know that your thumbnails (like with the split screen) are very on trend and your videos overall are very stylish and professionally done. Hey Gabe, I looked this up but couldn’t get a clear answer: If people comment on your *old* videos, does that help the channel in any way? It looks like it can slightly affect algorithms but I’m not sure when it comes to older posted videos.

The tv shows is also something I’ve struggled with and so I’ve found an compromise: only watch tv while I’ working out. This way I don’t feel that guilty.

I quit Netfilx and got a scribd account. Now I don't spend money on books at amazon or barnes and noble. Plus I get all the free sheet music that I could ever need.

When Gabe says vitamin and you get up to take yours cuz you forgot this morning lol

I don't watch tv, i don't pay for Netflix😊 Thank you for sharing!

Thank U so much for this fantastic vidios You've helped me so much ❤️⬆️

感谢分享 现在我戒除了垃圾食品

What was the name of the other audio book site, I didn't catch the name and it wasn't in the description

my only hobbies are novels and tv shows..........i'm not giving them up for anything in this world. I need that pleasure in this life, life isn't all about being productive 24/7

I was writing these down in my journal, and I counted 9 habits, not 10... my question is... what was the 10th habit?? 😂

No more TV nor payed Netflix and Cie. ,the whole family goes to bed between 8 and 9 in the evening, I cut off FB 8 year ago so I didn’t get to share all of my meals on instagram either, Because I use the best 8 to midnight sleep and also sleep for 10h , I get through my whole day with one coffee in the morning and sometimes could forget it. We only watch things that are recommended to us by more then 2-3 personal friends, most of the time around a year after it has aired. Because we are sleeping in the evening instead of holding our eyes open with sticks, we don’t eat after dinner. (Have you noticed that in the evening you are tired and then at some point, you are no longer tired, but you are hungry yet you didn’t slept?)

I hope you can handle a compliment, but those biceps are getting huge!

Okay so this may not be everyone's vibe but I have been listening to research paper on subjects that interest me using Adobe reader.

no 80's music

Listen to audiobooks instead😊

You look so handsome dude

You know Marques??? What's his middle name lol Jokes aside. This video has got to be one of my favorite from you yet. It really looks like you're enjoying yourself with the jokes and edits. :)

Just because something doesn't generate revenue doesn't mean it's bad for you. There is merit to doing things to unwind just because you like them. Watch TV. Listen to music. Take care of your responsibilities, but not everything has to be about the GRIND.

Can always cut off my unhealthy habits.

Yeeeea😊

Guilty of sweets. I cut out sodas.

I'm trying not to use any devices after 10pm, I put my phone on airplane mode at that time.

Biceps by Matt 😂 spotted

Nice thumbnail

You're telling me to cut out junk food and basically showing food porn :o

I hate social media because I do NOT get the attention from men I want. I only attract simps. Dating apps won’t do much for me and it’s utterly a waste of time. I feel so much better when I deactivate my account. 😢 Sometimes I compare myself with other girls on social media but it's is temporary and my self-love wins me over every time. 😼

I catch myself making negative comments, aloud or internally, and I jump on them right away with positive comments. I avoid media related to violence including graphic news, news in general, films and TV, as well as the big one for me: video games. My mind is much better off avoiding thinking of things I do not control. I still get plenty of news.

Being unreachable for the first few hours of the day is absolutely groundbreaking. Paired with a limitation in social media it allows for daily usage or it without it getting in the way. Planning your day in the first few hours makes you live consciously and purposefully, and then avoiding distractions is much easier if you don't have multiple social medias to maintain. Add some daily review at the end of the day, to think back upon your day, the goals you had for it, and what you really did is everything that was necessary for me to get my life back on track.

Is it me or is there only 9 habits on the video ?

Are many of your videos copies from other RU-vidrs? 🤔

You are TOO young to be indoors this much!
