8 steps to unf*** your life 

Step 9: Stop watching these videos. You already know what to do.

Plz someone like this so that i can come back

1. Clean yourself (Shower, smell good,brush) 2. Clean your surrounding 3. Go out be socially active 4. Sweat do exercise 5. Don't do unconscious spending 6. Stop all bad habits 7. Strategies (make small term and long term goals) 8. Submit (you have already made a plan just follow it don't overthink)

I love how Joey isn't just a self help guru, he's a filmmaker. That's what sets him apart from the rest. Even his more basic videos have awesome B-roll and cinematography. I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years he starts show-running some big time film and tv projects.

1. stay clean 2. clean your ambient 3. venture yourself 4. make exercises 5. take care of your money 6. remove distractions 7. plan your life/stuff 8. do the things you need to do

This video has amazing imagery and cinematography. I'm rewatching it again just because there is so much visually here to appreciate. I keep saying, "Damn thats cool. How did he do that?" Also, the narration is solid. Its accurate. Its concise. Its value-adding. There is no fluff and filler. Joey has mastered his craft. Joey deserves a gold star for this video.

I have a long family history of depression, bipolar, and ADHD and this didn't cure ANY of those..... but it gave me the tools I needed to build a good foundation for my life, reduce the symptoms, take accountability, and actually help myself live. Thank you

What changed me was being -$175 from a $5 overdraft. The bank said they couldn’t help. I was so pissed I did 175 sit-ups/jumping jacks/Russian twists. All while saying I refuse to be $175 negative ever again… I tell myself “I deserve a clean house” to motive me to clean… started working out and cutting out sugar. I’m so determined to not be the ADHD person that I am with constant migraines. When I fall off track I cry because I’m reminded of how I hate being that person and it’s time to get back into who I truly want to be. Right now I’m working on adding more fun into my day. I’m only 27, but being a mom of 2 kids, with a house & back at school made me forget to enjoy life and actually quite literally laugh a little. Thank you for this video.

0:03 1. Cleanse thy earthly vessel (Clean yourself) 0:44 2. Order the kingdom (Clean your house) 1:33 3. Venture forth (Go outsude (Touch grass)) 2:15 4. Sweat (Work out) 2:49 5. Monitor thy treasury (Keep an eye on finances) 3:22 6. Remove the hooks (Eliminate useless things you depend on) 3:50 7. Strategize (Have a plan) 4:49 8. Submit (Accept that there are things you must do)

This is honestly one of the best videos you've ever made. Short, concise, and so well-executed. The writing, the shots, the cinematography, it's all perfect. Thank you for everything that you do my friend.

The “go outside because everyone is wondering where you’re at” is my current favorite lol

Thank you for saving my live in such a MOTIVATING and GREAT tone!

Ive literally done every one of these things in the past 7 years, and went from going nowhere & addicted to drugs to a hopeful, hardworking and productive life. no lie. just takes time

Bro joey is just a white goggins with beautiful narrating and storytelling.I have been in the worst place since covid 19. Time to take action I guess.

One of the best videos I've seen so far for finding clarity. Very helpful!

As someone who has lost motivation, desire to do things. This is an eye opener and hit the emotions spot on.

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

I bet you have absolutely no f* clue how many lives youre just about to change thanks to this video man. this is great.

I needed this so much. Thank you. I’m on my way back up from being broken by loss. So many family members in a short amount of time. 🙏🏼♥️

A powerful summary of progress and moving forward to do things that really matters! Love it❤

We live in a life-coach epidemic. A time where life- and business coaches do nothing but teach each other how to be coaches. Refreshing to see someone who actually speaks to others on their level and whose issues and problem-solving are actually relatable. Thank you.

"in what ways do you tend to fail achieving it" I think this is the phrase that hit me the most and opened my mind. Thank you for saying it

Love this! Simultaneously simple and powerful. Love your humor too. I’m 67 and needed a good boot to the butt. Thank you! Lisa in Connecticut

Hands down, one of the absolute best and motivating videos I have come across in a very long time! Thanks Joey!

Amazing information. I started figuring out to do these things at age 36. It was hard to realizing the constant mistakes, dopamine hits I kept cycling in my life. I'm 38 now, lost 40 lbs and about 6 months away from finishing building my own place. Its HARD I won't lie, real HARD, but it's important to sit down, only use the past mistakes as a reminder of WHY you failed and make CONSCIOUS decisions to LEARN from those mistakes and do better. You'll still make mistakes, but one by one you will master not falling into a pit again.

I am a 14 year old boy, thank you for giving me motivation, i cleaned my room, sorted my sh!t, started eating better, starting living happy thanks!

Hands down the best life-changing list I've come across on YT. Thank you.

This video is so practical and straight forward it become a favorite go-to video. Thanks man!

please someone like this so i can return anytime

Woah this was a well made video! Amazing stuff 👏 Time to get a workout in.

Thank you for making this video, Better Ideas. I am a 15 year old Sophomore as I'm writing this and I can tell you that my academic life and my life while in school might be outstanding, but when it comes to life outside of school, I'm not as positive and productive and I'm always procrastinating and lazy about doing simple, everyday tasks necessary for life. This video will definitely help me change my real life for the better. Thank you again, and I'm hoping everyone else is willing to change as well. God bless you all. ❤️💯

I’m struggling guys

Really well made video and good story telling. Im dealing with Depression since around 5 years now. 2 Weeks ago i looked at my misserable live and decided i need to change something. I defenitly was addicted to playing video games (around 8 hours or more a day) and smoking cigarettes the most, having no job for around half a year now, is the most frustrating. Surprisingly i am able to not feel the urge to play video games that much and havent played since 2 weeks. The addiction to cigarettes is defenitly harder to quit, but i could reduce it to 1-2 per day. I start my day with taking a ice bath after i wake up, for around 3-5 Minutes. Its a challange every morning but it helps me shut down my mind a bit, because overthinking and negative thoughts are probably bothering me the most. It also helps eliminate the sleepy and tired feelings, coming up unlimited times over the usual day. I also stopped any intense consumption of RU-vid, TikTok or other Media. I have the feeling that my thoughts are getting much clearer every day and i don't think about billions of topics that i just saw in the hundreds of videos i watched before. Going outside for a walk in the Forest for atleast an hour every day is also very good for cleansing my mind and helps me reconnect with nature and myself, since i was so disconnected because of hourless gaming, media consumption etc. - This also kinda evolved a new hobby. Studieng the local Plants, Trees and Mushrooms, and building Terrariums with some Interesting Plants. Its very surprising to me how i went form suicidal thoughts and even making plans to kill myself to seeing live positiv and getting motivated to do stuff, in around 2 weeks now. Its not perfect but its a good start. I have the feeling that so many people currently going threw similar problems in the western world. I hope we can all come back to our senses, reconnecting with Nature and ourselves. See our potential and awaken our Power that we hide inside. If you are reading this and you are struggling. Don't rush yourself, don't try to get everything done in 1 day. Take ur time, take small steps and don't feel bad for not being able to get everything done that fast. But try to find a good balance, so you dont fall back into bad habits. And definitely try out ice bath in the morning or a cold shower, this is definitely a gamer changer. you got this :)

You know a channel is good when they promote their sponsors at the end and not interrupt in middle of main video❤

Thank you for posting this. We appreciate these helpful reminders.

I remember watching Better Ideas videos some years ago. You're one good example of improvement through time and it goes to show you do as you preach. Thank you for all of your work.

Awesome video, highly recommend everyone watch it through! Here's a summary for when you're done: 1. 00:03 Cleane Thy Earthly Vessel: shower, brush your teeth, wear a scent - get fresh. Take care of yourself on a basic level 2. 00:44 Order The Kingdom: deep clean up your space, embrace order, no more half-done jobs 3. 01:34 Venture Forth: get outside, feet moving, sun in your face, become an initiator of people coming together 4. 02:17 Sweat: exercise everyday 5. 02:49 Monitor Thy Treasury: track your finances daily, out-of-sight out-of-mind attitude keeps you stuck 6. 03:23 Remove The Hooks: remove external substances/behaviours that medicate your internal problems that constantly pull you back into mindless consumerism 7. 03:50 Strategize: don't float through life without a strategy, be proactive - what do you want in life and how can you achieve it? 8. 04:49 Submit: dion't overthink things, take a deep breath, and do what you know you must do

"Shut your mind off and relinquish yourself of the burden of overthinking " An absolute 💎

Really good. Especially keeping clean, keeping your space clean and in order, and fitness. People take on big “problems of the world” and they can’t even keep a room in order. I think we all know this stuff instinctively, but it’s positive energy to have it reiterated. Thanks.

Your videos are a breathe of fresh air in a polluted world and they never fail to give me the motivation or push I need to keep progressing in life. With the most sincerity, Thank You Joey!

Hi Joey! Hope you're good! When I first watched this video, I was hopeless, gave up on my dreams and just didn't care anymore. I believe this was at the end of September. Now, I've done the 8 steps that you've laid out here; and boy has it changed my life. My sense of direction is so much greater, my energy is just completely different and I'm really playing the hero to my own movie. Now, I'm going to reflect on my vision and take the actions necessary to get there. Thank you Joey! Your videos are awesome!!

Thanks for this piece of advice. I do think my life's a bit more f#$cked up than usual.

Really impactful... I like the videogame angle in which these points are presented, a genius way to make it more relatable. If I were to add another step to this already perfectly crafted video, it would be a specific one related to mental health. I'm not saying that these point don't do wonders for mental health and overall life positivity. But having a friend or a person who really listens to you, preferable someone who is in the same boat as you or have experience with the problems you are facing. The feeling of being truly listened to and not feeling alone about the struggles we are facing is the thing that has helped me the most. e.g: Step X Strenghten the mind.

I need to watch/listen to this daily for a while to get myself back on track. I’m so sick of my life sucking and it’s not getting any better doing the same shit over and over again.

Amazing video as always. One thing I'd add is: digital declutter as part of a routine. Using Notion or any tool you want, but clearing my mind from wandering thoughts and tasks I need to remember or just that damn feeling of "I need to do this but I haven't and I don't want to right now". This makes amazing difference in my life.

The self-help industry really needs more creators like you who can take information to improve your life and blend it with great storytelling, cinematography, and even a little humor. I hope you inspire more content creators to take the time (because this video looks like it took a lot of time to put together) and focus on quality not quantity, information to push you forward instead of veering you off track. Great work!

Thank you. Always good to have a reminder as to why we strive everyday! 🙌

Great storyboarding, I will be learning from this video, thank you!

perfect timing, really needed to hear this. been struggling so much in my life but I'm ready to be on top again!! 🙏🏽

Here is a summary of the key points from the video: The video outlines 8 steps to improve your life: 1. Take care of yourself - shower, groom, use scents. Treat yourself with respect. 2. Clean your environment - tidy and organize your living space. An orderly environment reflects an orderly mind. 3. Go outside - don't isolate yourself indoors. Interact with people and nature. 4. Exercise - work out and sweat daily for mental and physical benefits. 5. Monitor your finances - check balances and cut unnecessary costs. Don't let spending bleed you dry. 6. Remove unhealthy hooks - turn off notifications, unsubscribe from email lists, etc. Reduce mindless consumerism. 7. Strategize - make plans to achieve your goals and improve your chances of success. 8. Submit to what you must do - silence overthinking, trust yourself, and take action. Develop confidence through following your authentic inner voice. The video encourages taking control of your life through these simple but powerful steps for self-improvement and fulfillment. It emphasizes starting with self-care and your immediate environment before expanding efforts outward.

Great video. Great message. Congratulations! Big shouts from Brazil.

Yep, this is a concise and cut through presentation of starting again in life - or simply starting a new day. Thank you.

I love the “submit”. Sometimes with depression or anxiety it’s hard for me to do the things I want/need to do so the idea of just shutting off my brain and submitting to what I need to do is awesome. 👏

I lost my mom earlier this year and I stopped doing all of this. Felt like my entire world came to a screeching halt, like there was no point in doing the small stuff if my life is gonna end randomly too. I’ve been doing better the past couple weeks, but man, it’s a daily challenge. Glad I came across this video, there’s definitely a little more motivation present in me now.

this video was amazing! amazing amazing amazing! I really needed this one

You have no idea how much I needed this today!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve watched this video every morning since it was posted as a reminder to myself to get my ass off the couch. Thank you for posting such an important video without being pretentious or unforgiving. Just a path to get back on track 💯

Joey, this is seriously one of your best videos to date. Man, I cannot thank you enough for helping me get my life back on track with all the wonderful content you put out there for us. God bless you, you incredible soul!🙏🔥

Thank you for this video 🙏 I have had analysis paralysis for more than one week. I needed this 🙏

I wanted to take the time to say thank you very very much this content really resonated with me. This video in particular has flipped the switch if you well, so I just wanna come on here and share my gratitude and appreciation towards you for sharing this brutally honest and much need a content. 🙏🏼

Man...I can't even tell you how this spoke to me. My life was a clusterf*** for over the past decade, and this year I decided to do something about it. I hope you all follow this advise, because finding this out the hard way was very difficult. Love yourself and be kind. I pray that you are well.

I haven’t cried in so long, I’ve had so much build up since 2020 and my life has been in wild up but mostly downs, many failures, little happiness. But this video also gives me hope. Hope that the work I’ve been trying to put in will pay off soon.

Beautifully filmed and sound advice - thank you

Great advice and video my dude! Thank you 🙏

I’m working through my depression with CBT and this video resonates a lot with the tools I’m learning. If you feel inspired by this video, keep in mind that for every step here you may take a lot of mini steps in it too. Consider focusing on step 8 first to develop a mindset and then do step 1 and perhaps 2, these two steps may be as simple as changing out of your pajamas if you’re like me that never change clothes. Step 2 can be as simple as making your bed. Keep it simple, be consistent and you will improve over time, maybe after one week you’re showering daily, maybe after two weeks your dishes are clean at the end of the day, maybe after three weeks you are taking a morning walk, and so on. Keep it simple, and do things at your own pace.

I'm a woman who struggles with escapism through devices/media, and your videos are the best thing in the world. They always give me hope and motivation I need to start again. I will get this! Thank you! 💜💜

This is such a powerful video, thank you

Thank you, Joey! I have been sucked back into some unhelpful habits since returning from the trip of a lifetime. After reading Dopamine Nation by Ana Lembke I have learned that this is a common phenomenon, similar to relapse in addicts. So if you find yourself in a rut, no matter how long it is, I can tell you that learning how to regulate your dopamine (which controls the motivation of your life force) and taking these steps will bring you back to your power and joy for living! We are hardwired to feel good, so it’s not you (well maybe sometimes it is, in the mindset) - it’s our modern environment that we are learning how to live with! You will get unstuck. First thing, get outside and get light in your eyes in the morning. You will start to feel better immediately and each little gain will provide wind in your sails. I’m starting to get back to a good routine, keeping an organized and healthy environment, and you can too! All the love to my fellow humans on the struggle bus. You can get off whenever you choose! ❤

I needed this this morning more than ive ever needed it before. Thank you. Thank you for what you do. You give a shit about random losers like me who want to be better but lack people to believe in them when everyone else just doesnt have the time for people who get left behind. No one in this life can motivate me but me and you somehow have figured out that you can teach that to people.

This video was the kick in the butt I needed. Thank you for always giving us inspiration to move forward with our lives. I'm done being my own worst enemy! Who's with me?

I'm 100% agree with every single point in this well made video. I suffered of depression and alcoholism during 4 years and I was able to put and end to this slowly but surely only because I started treated myself good (and my apartment) like I should have always done. Therapy and medication saved me during the darkest stages of my depression but as soon as I wanted to get out of this conditions, the transformation begins. Today, I'm an into ultra cycling, bouldering and running and sport is the best way (maybe the only way) to get your energy back. You got this, believe in yourself no matter what is happening to you, don't be rude to yourself but stick to your plan

This video is amazing and explains my life currently. I hit rock bottom last year the night I tried to end my life. It was a day after hitting a year sober. At that moment I made that decision I had decided I hated myself and had purpose and had no reason to be on earth. But that's where the change started. I looked over my behavior and saw where I was wrong. I decided it was time to change myself. So I went for it. I went to meetings, shared my story, started to do the right thing, kept everything clean, kept organized, and got rid of all of the bullshit. I just tried to get a little better everyday one day at a time. The rewards of doing this for 8 months are really starting to bud. New friendships, looking at new career paths, finally getting a grip on saving, but more importantly all the internal shit is finally there. I can say I love myself, I'm no longer too scared to help others where I can, I'm pretty content, definitely happy which I must say is a nice change, and my favorite one I'm confident!

This video transcended my expectation. Spectacular!

I needed to see this. My life over the last 18 months has crashed and I kinda gave up on myself. I like the motivation in this. Thank you.

this is literally a life changing video, for me. Even though i knew most of the stuff, it was put in a another perspective where i never saw it, how important the small things in life are. im going to rewatch this multiple times and take notes while finally taking the steps to be the person i ever wanted. Thank you so much for this amazing Video, it woke me up.

Thank you Joey for your self help advice videos. This is one of the most artistic yet! Our lives are like waves. Some points we’ll feel like we are on top of the world and at a peak, and other points we’ll feel like we’re stuck tripping in a bath of pig mud in a trough.

Love these videos man, they really help me throughout life

proper respect for that video! Everyone should be aware of these principles for themselves and made that clear and on point

Hey man, thank you for these videos, they seem to be the only ones that do it for me. Most other self help channels make me feel manipulated and like they don't care about me, but there's a real sense of empathy and care that I get when I watch your videos, like you really want to help people. Anyways, cheers

Just when I thought these videos can’t get any better, you keep proving us wrong! So many of these are simple truths, yet articulated with novelty, creativity and so relatable everyone can understand it. Love it, thank you 🙏

top stuff mate, really appreciate this video!!

Thank You for this Video ' EXACTLY ' what I need to hear ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Loved this short, cinematic, to the point video!! Nice Job Joey!!

Couldn’t be a better time to be watching this video, lately I’ve noticed that right now, I’m at a place in life where I have the perfect opportunity to change & be better. Got no excuses not to.

Absolutely amazing work you are doing, just found you and taking a look into a couple of your videos and you have given a new wave of motivation.

Often in life.. we need a reminder to points as obvious as these.. Good work.. if this gets at least one person to reroute their life.. mission accomplished 👏

*Thank you brother you are source of my motivation*

Do you make your house messy to clean it in your videos or make a video when your house gets messy?

Great video, thank you for making these!

dude, love your clips this is amazing that pro mist really gives the mood.

For the first time I've ever felt sew-ee-side-all (

This is an amazing video. It cuts straight to the point. The 8 steps are simple, but prove as an effective base to build your dream on. It's what the title says, and it delivers exactly what it promises. Also, pretty great artistic work: Good cinematics, nicely written. Thank you!

Thank you for the wonderful tips, it is a game changer!

I really enjoyed this video. I'm single and have a dog and a cat at home. I find myself avoiding cleaning and when i finally wake up, i have way too much to do so I fall right back into that mindset. This will help me start kicking ass again. I really appreciate this video. Thanks man.

im very happy to see my progress is actually going through the same steps, i started by taking care of my hygiene that was poor due to big mental and physical health issues. and now im at step 5! but step 5 was the most life-changing for me, it started with small walks that eventually got longer and now im working out to build muscle and oh god it feels so refreshing and good. i will work harder to do 6 and on!

I needed this video right now for two different reasons. One is because of the message. It's simply put and it's impactful. I tend to overthink things a lot and then my mind distracts itself so easily that even if I did have some motivation, or profound change in my thinking and attitude, it would be swept away by something else (like youtube). I'm also a film student and was recently given a bad grade on an assignment and it really discouraged me. But your shots are awesome and it peaks my visual brain with wonder. Thanks for helping me.

Awesome video! Awesome editing! Just perfect! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

So, I'm not the type to leave a comment in a video but I'll give it a shot. Thank you for making this great video. I found it very pure and free of toxicity; it isn't the type of sigma-male self help videos you usually find when looking for motivation, riddled with "success" stories and useless lifestyle critique. This makes it so much easier for the viewer to follow and pay attention to. I really appreciate that you don't refer to this video as a cure-all for people who don't know where to start and help themselves. It is immersive and I find that the viewer gets a chance to visualize themselves starting to act on each step. Yeah, most of the steps are intuitive (self care, cleanliness, financial awareness, etc.) but it seems that thought was poured in practicing a certain order in the placement of each step, which is very rare in these types of videos. I believe that is very helpful in the fact that some people (like myself) are a little scatter-minded and will try to climb all stairs at once. Thanks again for this video, it really helped. I'll go clean the house now.

This honestly felt like chapters straight out of Meditations. What a great video.

The past month I've been slowly putting more effort into improving myself since I've been stuck in a pretty boring, somewhat sad, and repetitive cycle. I realized that nothing was going to change unless I did so I started making small changes here and there, and now I'm feeling much better about my day-to-day life! This video got recommended to me and helped confirm I was on the right track!
