Another thing to avoid is spending more time “learning” about self improvement than actually doing anything. Like watching hundreds of videos about learning something fast or watching lots of health videos but not making any changes, or even worse, paying for self improvement books and courses. Just start making changes to your routine based on some advice and see if it works for you. Instead of spending hours learning the “perfect” time to wake up, just try waking up slightly earlier and see if it works for you, for example. In short, just get started.
Yeah self improvement is great but getting obsessed with anything isn't good for you. Once it becomes your entire personality rather than a part of it, it becomes problematic.
People go too far and make self improvement itself their life rather than incorporating the idea of getting better into their mindset, if that makes sense
Yeah, people will cut themselves off of their support systems like family, friends and colleagues but that isn’t guaranteed to be the wrong thing. It’s when the people around you are good people who do support you but you want those sigma billionaire bro’s who’ve got all these connections, without consideration that these people might not even care about you beyond a profit. Ending things with friends you no longer relate to and finding yourself leaning towards other people with just different and maybe more healthy mindsets is alright, just be wary of the people you interact with.
It's called "delayed gratification" vs. "instant gratification" for a reason. It's not that you should never have fun, it's that you should "ration" your fun. Just don't always choose the hedonistic option, do it to the point where it is actually still truly enjoyable.
Cold showers are mostly for discipline, since you're training your body to be uncomfortable and for helping to relax the muscles, since the change from being active in lifting to being cold causes contractions and stuff which helps them be less sore, like icy hot. Not everyone needs to do them for the muscle benefit though, like if you're normal and exercise 2-3 times a week but if you're full gymcel then they're really helpful
I'll take cold showers sometimes just to prove I can. When I've got that post workout high I'll take a freezing cold shower afterwards I'll feel like "hell yeah I did that". No way am I gonna pretend there's any health benefits tho it's just making yourself uncomfortable for the sake of it.
yes, ofc you can. self improvement can be described just as "i used to have bad habits, did them everyday every hour. but now i've decreased the amount of bad habits and i live a happier life with a healthier mindset." If you only want to improve improve and improve, but never enjoy your improved self, you never appreciate the results, then what's the point? at some point in life, you just have to enjoy your time, and be free.
Self improvement tip at the gym: From some other friends of mine I heard that one of the things that make going to the gym harder for them is the fear of judgement from other people and lack of motivation So here's how to kill two birds with one stone: get yourself earbuds. Seriously, earbuds help you concentrate by not letting you get drowned in thoughts, and if you have a specific playlist of songs you play at the gym while doing sets you'll create songs that actually cause you to feel "pumped up". Thanks for reading self improvement tips at the gym! Hope it works for you!
Ironically enough self-improvement has the exact same problem that videogames, jacking off, or drugs have: Obsession. If that's all you do, if that's all you become, you're fucked no matter what. Whether it's playing videogames 5 hours a day, emptying your balls all the time, OR making money. You are gonna have a bad time
i had to shill this twice but d00d read easypeasymethod if ur having trouble quitting. literally went cold turkey for the past 5 months after reading that, not even though of relapsing. it actually dismantles p addiction and why you do it.
The answer is yes because when the Hamza vs Sneako happened, alot of people were delusional and siding with Hamza too much, not sitting back and thinking logically.
I will speak on nofap, it is amazing and helped me realize how I was numbing myself from my depression. I'm currently almost on 1 year of it and I never once regretted it
Honestly I wake up early but I only do that during school cause after school I feel tired, mentally slow, unmotivated, and unhappy. I struggle to do anything or feel happy after school, plus the morning I would wake up from an alarm and feel tired. Meanwhile if I just crash after school, I get to have plenty of sleep, wake up naturally feeling refreshed, and have 6 to 7 hours deep in the night to myself which is the quietest time in my house and allows me to focus on personal stuff better, with the added addition of being awake 6 - 8 hours before school even starts so I feel well awoken by then, as well as having time to drink coffee because the shit afterwards wouldn't be in a school bathroom.
Acquiring divine masculine attributes like strength, inner and outer beauty, confidence, discipline, resiliance and kindness is important and should be the #1 priority, but even God rested on Sunday.
NNN could be an interesting challenge. Done it twice, first was kinda hard, the second was a piece of cake. I'll never do it again though. Cold showers on the other hand: I'm in my third month and I really love it. I definitely wouldn't preach about it, but I would lie if I'd say that I don't feel hella good about myself when I can easily shower in the coldest waters. 2+ yrs of gym was one of the smartest lifestyle change I've done, but that could be said about any sport in general. There is always room to improve yourself and I hope everyone is feeling right about themselves in the end! Edit: Typo
@@boroborosu2410 nofap might seem fun at first but the consequences can be bad, 1. you basically destroy your prostate gland 2. youre gonna be more miserable, less happy since your hormones are thrown off balance. if you still wanna continue fine.
Imo, self-improvement has no limit because it, by definition, can’t be derived from sin. It is improvement, after all. Being consumed by greed and throwing away the rest of your life is not self-improvement, if is self-destruction. In other words, there is a thin line between doing things because you want to be a better person versus doing things because of a false expectation of what success is.
Absolutely blessed comment. Self Improvement has no limit, it’s always changing and always giving you new insights and wisdom, especially Godly wisdom. God bless you 🙏
Very motivational and also good sense of humor just like always great video. Hot showers make skin dry but cold showers make it softer and healthy. I heard somewhere that cold showers may help whit depression it has something particular part of brain.
Yeah, i have started taking cold showers like 3-4 years ago, because of the "Wim Hoff method" wich is said to reduce the chance of you getting sick and things like that, and it turned out that was true, years passed by and now sickness is not an problem for me anymore
There is an podcast here on youtube, it is called "Huberman Lab Podcast", there Dr. Huberman picks an topic like sleep, cold shower, salt etc.. then searches academic studies and resumes it into a podcast, one of his quotes that i am really using to my advantage is "if you cannot control your mind, then use your body to control it, through activicties, foods, suplementations etc... " if you got curious about what more cold showers do to our body, check his video about it, was an incredible one.
7:44 i remember hearing that if an addiction goes for long your basic self is ass but on the addiction you’re “normal” so Before: not on: 100 happy After: on: 100 happy After: not on: 10 Basic your “best” was your average before drugs 10:21 or be a cam girl
the semen retention shit is also good because it simultaneously stops you from indulging in casual sex(one of the biggest plagues of todays society) and also makes it impossible for you to simp
Casual sex implies the existence of competitive sex Also you can simp even if you are asexual. Just because you don’t feel sexual attraction doesn’t mean you don’t feel romantic or platonic attraction
Honestly after optimizing my sleep, people who set alarms are complete losers. I literally wake up at 4:30-5:30 basically everyday with no effort on my part. Also I disagree with the comfort thing, to some extent you need to be uncomfortable to progress rarely do you actually advance in anything being in your comfort zone.
same, i optimize my sleep too, but you are more losers than me, i wake up at 2:30-3:30 in morning, what i see is that you develop your habit in comfort already, by not changing your schedule to be more early.
The benefit of cold showers is if you can wake up and immediately walk into a cold shower, there is very little you can't make yourself do. You can will yourself to go from comfort to shocking discomfort. You can make yourself do just about anything.
The point of self improvement is to improve your life. You work out because it feels good to work out. You dont game all day because it feels terrible to game all day. You eat kale instead of smoking crack because it feels good to eat kale and feels bad to smoke crack. Life isnt about denying ones needs, its about working with ones needs, rather than against them. Lets just take a pick at an easy "bad habit", drinking. Everyone knows drinking is terrible for them in excess, what they foolishly assume however is that just because they dont feel like shit after only "a little" drinking, it means its ok for them, rather than that perhaps, they can just handle it. You also can be fine after drinking just a little poison, yet we clearly dont do that... oh wait... we do! We somehow find benefits in a foul tasting substance which kills us and destroys every aspect of our lives slowly and systematically... wheres the dopamine in that? All ive said is useless so far, because heres the stupidly obvious thing about self discipline: We dont do things for the reasons we dont do them, we do things for the reason we do them. Unless a certain action ends up feeling good in some way, you will eventually lose willpower and go back to your old ways. Shaming you with all the terrible downsides only creates a terribly uncomfortable cognitive dissonance in ones mind. People dont drink alcohol, smoke, eat junk food, masturbate 5 times a day, because some evil supernatural being has taken control of them, they do it because they find some benefit in the activity, its their crutch, their pleasure, it helps them relax, focus, etc. Under normal self improvement advice you would be scolded and told all the ways its destroying you (which you already knew) and how you need to suffer and give it up. And the likely outcome is nothing but expected, no, you dont give it up, why? Because why the fuck would you give up your "only pleasure"? The problem isnt your own lack of willpower, its the schizophrenia, that is, believing these activities somehow help you. You cannot make a correct decision, but you do make a rational one: You know that it is bad for you, yet its the only way you can enjoy yourself... who cares if its killing you then? Who wants a long empty life of suffering instead of a short but happy one? Thankfully, this decision is complete bullshit, because all these benefits are nothing more than imaginary, the way to stop doing the bad habits isnt to torture yourself for prolonged periods of time and deprive yourself of what you enjoy, its to understand that there is NOTHING to enjoy in all those shitty activities, nothing at all, but the reason everyone fails to do this is because of the brainwashing weve been subjected to all our lives, and the confirmation bias we have acquired from partaking in the activities ourselves. I dont remotely have the time to give examples for everything, nor the time to explain things in a way which would destroy this brainwashing, i want to redirect to Allen Carrs easy way, which has been applied originally to smoking, then to alcohol, overeating, crack, caffeine, gambling, pornography addiction, digital addiction, and so much more. Its applicable to all these and so much more because all these addictions and bad "habits" arent rooted in some inherent weakness of the people using them, nor some supernatural substance or platform created by evil silicon valley businessmen, theyre a culmination of false beliefs, both personal beliefs, and societal beliefs, which we have never thought to question, or we have never looked at them through the correct lens.
What Alex Becker meant I'm pretty sure is that you have to give up things to improve like you have some girlfriend that is pulling you back or friends that are doing stupid shit and you have to detach from these people.

The only time cold showers help me is when my girl and I are visiting her family in the Philippines... it's so hot there, the water feels good... hahaha
Cold showers are good for your immunologic system. It makes you more resistent to whatever weather condition you get when outside, while hot showers get you sick more easily.
@@haldanandpako2755 and what? He brought this point in the video and it's wrong. It's commom sense, not some hidden knowledge. He even said he got sick when started taking cold showers, it's his body not used to any temperature change.
im working on my thesis rn and thinking of my future, im 28 btw so yeah closing in on that big ol' 30 very soon i've spent WAAAAY too much time in my early 20's and late teens playing video games and just not thinking of the consequences then some other shit happened last year which threw me into a semi-depressive state... getting my shit together slowly now just tryna finish college and get a decent job, then maybe start thinking of opening a company, but that will require a lot of dedication
no fap makes sense but it doesn't mean you can't do faps 2 or 3 times in 1 month. being addicted to fap is bad is similar to being addicted to food. you just do it to forget the problems but in the end it all comes back
This is my third time saying it, but I say it three times because all three of your comments appeared three times in a row. No-Fap's willpower method is the worst way to quit p or fap addiction or whatever. It just makes you feel bad when you eventually do relapse. It leaves you thinking P is a good thing or that you're stuck addicted. I just read the free book easy peasy method, cuz it actually dismantles P addiction instead of telling you to stop because you're a disgusting hedonist for using it and you'll get ED if u keep doing it grr.
@@haskell6001 fapping isn't even that bad. Actually, its good, if it doesn't affect your daily tasks (for eg. spacing out in the middle of work thinking about it) then it's not bad. this dude probably associated fapping with having the same effects as cigarettes (cigarettes are the really bad stuff, you should never smoke). This is really toxic and this can lead to deppression. hopefully it reaches this dude
( if there are mistakes in english words correct me )Rewrite your life and just stop. Don’t want to stop? - make something that would make you suffer so much, that you would want to just quit fapping. Suffer - is the only thing, that can stop your brain from doing something.
Taking cold showers for long enough will give you immunity to the cold by raising your body temperature but you have to also eat a lot and work out for better results
I tend to take hot showers in the morning, cooler during the day, and warmer at night. My showers are usually in the morning. Hot showers just work for me. I also tend to be more productive at night. Why would I go to bed early, wake up early, and be tired for the fist half of the day when I could just be productive at night fr
I grew up in poverty and now i can comfortably afford vacations and things I'm still in the poverty mindset and i feel guilty about spending that money
1:00 i think, thinking yourself as yourself only is not good. i think you should think yourself as your lineage. and you should do long term plans that considers your lineage, not just your current self.
I am definitely one of the npc's that take body temp showers, what it does is cool down the hot sweaty bits and brings back warmth to your feet and hands which lets be honest feet will always be so fucking cold for literally no reason.
the most sigma thing ever is doing your own thing, not endlessly chasing some goal. Most self help sigma RU-vidrs are more like that one kid with the notepad and curly hair from Recess.
