For me, the most important lesson about getting out of ruts is realizing that there will always be another rut ahead but if you give yourself enough momentum you'll roll through each one faster than the last. Some ruts will be bigger and may require a restart, some will be smaller and are at most a divot.

I'll say this to myself as like a self-motivator, objects at rest tend to stay at rest while objects in motion tend to stay in motion. (But then there's the whole second part about unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force, but we can just ignore that. it's fine. everything's fine.) So, momentum for me is huge.

A strategy I’ve been using lately when I don’t feel in tuned with my mind, body, and self, is to view myself as an outsider caretaker. So instead of thinking “I don’t want to work on this task”, I reframe it as “working on this task will help [me] and future self.” I know it’s weird but it helps me push forward when I dissociate.

Thanks for the advice it couldn't come at a better time. I finally got sober and things were going good rebuilding my life and I got really manic and couldn't sleep or slow down for 5 days straight (not even a nap) then hit with the worst flu of my life where I blacked out every time I tried to get up and I ran out of heating fuel. It was literally 26f in my house for 2 days before I got more all the while work calling telling me I'm getting fired if I don't show up. It felt like I was being drowned in wave after wave of awful. During the cold days I knew I was going to die alone because of my complete inability to handle the simplest of situation. But I doggedly keep going, got fuel, the feeling in my feet came back, I slept. And realizing that I was doing my best in a terrible situation makes me feel proud to have gotten through rather than ashamed for fucking my life yet again. The only thing I didn't do that I should have was call someone for help, don't know why I didn't but just felt impossible. My advice is to call for help when you need. People love to help, but they can't help if they don't know what's going on. Anywho, thanks for another video!

For those who struggle with seeing all the stuff you have to do/ organizing between mosquito, emergencies, etc: Something I've found that helps short term with the rut and feeling productive/better is to put all the tasks I have to do in a bag and to draw tasks as I go. (I usually include some fun things I want to do in there as well because having fun/relaxing is also important!). Drawing tasks randomly helps take executive decision making away, helps me focus on one task at a time, and watching the bag become more empty helps make me feel like I'm doing something that's actually worth it! I also add the reward of ripping up the slip with the task on it once I'm done said task.

My advice for anyone in a hole in life is to figure out the most basic shit that makes your life hard. I know he said that in his video, but I honestly don't even think about the small 15 minute tasks to gain momentum. Usually I'm so overwhelmed and behind at that point that I need to get the most essential stuff done so i can feel like I can breathe. For me, that is to get the kitchen cleaned and the laundry done. The next thing that follows is making sure I have groceries. Those things not being done will make me not functional. Eating is extremely important for functioning, and being able to eat healthy and not eat out means that I feel better and spend less money. Laundry is extremely important because if it's not done then I basically can't go anywhere inorder to get the things done, I feel incredibly self conscious and shitty if I go out with dirty clothes on. I prioritize clothes over towls and bedding, but clean towls means I'm more likely to take care of myself and shower, and clean bedding means I'm going to sleep better which means I will function better. I can still find myself in a rut even if I accomplish those things, but I will get out of a depression spiral faster and I can also focus on more pressing without it completely fucking me over. I.e. if I have the real basic stuff done and I barely have time to do other responsibilities, I can rebound faster when I do have time because I didn't get so behind the previous days, weeks or months this can happen.

Yah, this was a good episode, dude. My daughter died 4 years ago on the 17th. Plus COVID and all the other BS - it's been rough. Got rid of a useless man last month, I want to unf@#$ life, but health problems interfering. I'm sitting in a disaster zone for a house when I used to be totally OCD. I feel like I am ready to make changes, but this health stuff is not helping. So, I will watch this again tomorrow morning and take notes and try to at least do the mosquitoes. Thanks for sharing your struggles, it makes it easier to not feel like a POS. Hopefully, you understand what I mean lol.
@CailieStar

I hope you will find perhaps some help with the house, to make it feel like your house again because for me disaster zone of a house happens during the toughest times in my life and ends up being a bottleneck for so many other things. When clothes can be found everywhere except in the closet, when the recycling is all ovet the house but not organised, when all the dishes are on the counter but no strength to empty or fill the dishwasher. Somehow everything I own seems to have climbed out of their place and filled every surface in the house. My motivator recently was a friend coming for a visit and I did the bare minimum of a hoover and tidy but afterwards I realised how much more easily my thoughts could flow with less visual clutter around. Health issues can be a huge barrier for starting but perhaps it is possible to ask or hire help ❤ sending lots of strength!

So I've never actually watched any "how to un F- your life" video, but this one was the best ever. And I'm not just saying that. I had a few aha! moments and even came up with insights of my own while watching this. Ultimately what helps me most is, don't think just do. Because thinking about doing the hard thing is far more difficult than actually doing the hard thing. My problem solving skills only really turn on when I'm drowning in work. If its easy then all I'm doing is ruminating instead of strategizing. Also priming aka "micro pep-talks" have always worked for me too. Like "if you don't take this cold shower right now you suck, and if you do you're a super saiyan!"

I think a lot of what gets in our way, what causes us to get in a self-perpetuating toxic loop, is SHAME. A few things that help me disrupt shame are 1) paying attention to how it feels in my body and recognizing it sooner in the toxic loop cycle, and 2) speaking about it to someone I really trust.

When completely overwhelmed even the smallest thing feels impossible but Ive come to realise that this feeling usually stems from one task that has completely stalled me (like the camera for Cameron) once there is something lurking in the back of your mind making you feel worried, guilty, lazy it seems to have a snowball effect on everything else. Sometimes, definitely not always, if I can recognise whats going on and make myself do the thing it suddenly releases all the stress and anxiety that not doing it has created.

It don’t really matter where the quote came from but specifically the part “hope is not a strategy” is really powerful. It’s natural to hope and maybe hoping is just part of the preceding process but, at the end of the day its the night. And hope is not a strategy.

What’s helped me a lot is self-compassion. This started out as compassion for how I was feeling, but it’s evolved over time to being more nurturing toward myself (rather than beating myself up all the time and feeling defeated). When I look at the things I need to do as a kindness I’m doing for myself, it doesn’t feel as hard. Life feels a bit sweeter and less burdensome. Also dividing up jobs into smaller steps can help with feeling overwhelmed. Like I usually divide rooms into imaginary zones to clean them. It makes it go faster and I feel more successful when I get through a small goal. (Or I’ll clean up one thing in the room each day, like clear the coffee table, pick up the stuff in the chair, or pick up the things on the floor in the family room. One small job each day is WAY less overwhelming than cleaning a whole room.) But it works for things like laundry too. (Gather the clothes. Take the clothes downstairs. Put clothes in washer and turn on. Take clothes out and put in dryer. Take out of dryer. Take upstairs. Fold/hang.) I don’t HAVE to do it all at once. I can do it on my own time. Little successes add up. And music helps a lot too. 🎵 If I listen to music I like, it helps me get through jobs I feel resistant toward. ❤

After reading some comments I realized I've never done a to-do list for this year, because I knew it won't happen. And here I am, having a new job, a raise (first time ever!), stopped avoiding doctors and dentists, take care of myself and my dogs, even doing pretty well with family. So what helps me get better is: - to do list. I'm a person who lives with a lists, no list - no action; - planning. Always starts with my calendar and things I need to do today. Then I slowly plan other actions and things; - starting simple. There are some small things that annoys me and makes me feel so awful, like laundry or dirty dishes. If I can get this done, then I can get to work; - breaks! Never forget about small break for movement (and dogs if you have them). I always have some piece of paper to write anything I forgot before and to schedule them after work, so I don't panic in the middle of working.

Plus the fact that Cam hasn't pulled off the AS perfectly makes me feel better about being behind and probably is the main reason I haven't given up (like I have for other challenges in the past). I actually feel more fired up than ever about it (also going back to read my week 1 and 2 stuff has helped). Thank you!!

Sometimes we freeze when we fall behind on whatever we have to make or do because it feels like the world will know we've missed the deadline and anything we do now is just us trying to cover up a failure, but the key here is that what one does is never about the world's expectations, it's about the kind of person that pushing through and completing our goals despite our setbacks will turn us into. The product is not what we make, it's what the 'making' makes of us.

Years ago an old preacher friend described a rut as, "a grave with the ends kicked out." He talked about a car driving in a rut, and what it takes to get out of that rut: "You gotta make a surprisingly violent motion on the steering wheel." I think I like your approach better. I have done the strong-arm motion of pulling everything off-center, but it's a bumpy ride that way. Better to swat mosquitoes first.

during my worst rut (approximately ten years of actively being depressed & suicidal & dealing with disordered eating & mild psychosis), my main tactic was to be so lazy that killing myself sounded like too much work. as long as i could stay alive until the end of the day, go to bed, and wake up the next day and do it all over again, i kind of just assumed that i’d figure it out eventually. and i did.

I love the way you break it down into specific, doable steps. One thing I find helpful is to remind myself of other times I have got out of a rut, or done things that I didn't want to do, but that needed to be done etc. Turns out, for me, feeling "overwhelmed" is more a *fear* of being overwhelmed. So remembering scary things that actually didn't overwhelm me, because I dealt with them, helps. Good luck to everyone in this situation!

I'm not where I want to be in my creative career (music). I'm single again and in therapy because I wanted it to work so much with my last partner (wanting to finally settle down) and she brought me to my knees mentally because of her issues.. sepression, narcissism, unsupportive, ungrateful, judgemental...

I knew. That's where your image of unburying myself from the shit and putting it to good use in form of a thriving garden comes in... There could actually be some sense, some meaning to the current struggles. It might not all be in vain...

I'm in the depths of personal study, in the hopes of finally being able to make art a career. One thing I often despair about is not getting there fast enough, which impacts my mental health, making it harder to do the work. I find Struthless' story so inspiring, (not only this video) and it reminds me that every single step I take toward that goal, no matter how slowly, is still progress.
@victoriasbtt8235
@victoriasbtt8235 6 месяцев назад
I would add that in your case time matters less than in other careers. How so? For an artist anything can fuel inspiration right? So by doing things at your pace, the right pace, you allow yourself to fully take in what you're doing and connecting more with the what and how than with the when. Basically by taking longer you are gathering more experience (like general life experience) and therefore your art will be fuller, stronger, more real, more intense, more intentional, basically better than it would be if you breezed through life. Just think, every "extra" time this take (who decided how much time it should take anyway) its getting more seasoned and richer 😏

I've mapped out my thoughts and attempted to organize and prioritize them in the past and it felt good, and I started to follow-through, but lost momentum at some point. I feel like not only is my life fucked but so is my country and the world and no matter how I unfuck my life, the rest will still weigh heavy on my soul. They say not to stress over things you can't control or change, but I can't just turn off my empathy and sorrow for the world around me. But admittedly I haven't unfucked my life yet, so I don't know, maybe it'll help. So THANK YOU for this and for all that you do. I'm taking notes on this video and intend to attempt to apply it to my own fucked life. I've tried before and not followed through, or only half-heartedly followed through, but I'll try again, and again, and again. And I really, truly, SERIOUSLY do appreciate you doing your best to help others like me.

The fact that life has gotten into your way during the AS is just the exact thing I, and probably many joining you in this challenge, needed. The overachievers don't, I follow some that are already done with letter "i", who don't even honour the rest weeks. It's making me feel worse instead of motivated. In my case, life also just got into the way and I'm struggling to keep going. But seeing you being now done with the same letter I am at is just way more motivating to go and pick up the next letter. Even if it might feel like failure to you, for all the chaotic peeps doing your challenge, it's exactly the best thing. It makes us not feel left behind. So good on you! :D

At the end of the day if you think the challenge is for you and meant for you to be kept in motion, ending it would be opposite to that. So do it at your own pace, but just don't quit. I'd say do it in a way you're proud of what you're producing. And if you do want to leave it, still be happy with having done a chunk of it.

Also, I’m Ukrainian, and on my birthday I found out that one guy I knew from school was KIA. Yesterday I teared up when my friends invited me for lunch because I finally have time for that - have time for myself and to meet up with friends. So now, after successfully moving, I found myself with fucked up eating habits and sleep schedule, around 4 kilos heavier than a month ago, boxes of stuff in the new room, having no clue what to do and where to start. But the thought that helped me a lot when I put down my thoughts on the paper yesterday, is “You’re one choice away from your ideal life”. And it is true. This is about “mosquitoes”, just in different words. If you make just one right choice, really, just one, let’s say cook a salad instead of ordering a burger, you’ll feel better physically, you’ll respect yourself more, and this will boost your confidence. Isn’ t that what you want? A healthier body, a more disciplined mind, more responsible and capable you. And all it took was ONE small choice. You’ll then notice that it’s easier to make another right decision, and harder to make the wrong one. Before you know it, your life’s unfucked!

I am so grateful for your videos, you always explain things so well and you’re so kind and realistic. One thing that helps me is to treat yourself like a person. I notice a lot of people don’t view themselves as someone who deserves love and kindness or even patience. You wouldn’t tell a stranger to “get over it” or “you should be better by now” so why would you tell yourself that? A little thing but it helps me. Love your videos! ❤️

Hi, 10 yrs ago I went through a traumatic event that ruined the person I was- mentally, emotionally & physically. For the last 9 years I've been telling myself to "get over it" & that I "should be better by now." I'm not great with self-compassion lol. Reading in print those exact phrases & how you wouldn't say it to a stranger has just changed my perception, so much more than 10 years of therapy has! Thank you. One person's words can change another's life xx

@@katrinajordan6708 It’s hard to be kind to yourself, we aren’t ever taught it. But baby steps towards self love are huge accomplishments ❤️ You deserve patience, understanding, love, and compassion just as much as you would give it to someone else. I’m happy my words helped you. I hope you see, you are worth so much more then that little voice in your head says you are. ❤️

Wow, this is jam packed with helpful techniques and perspective shifts! Glad I clicked on this, thank you for sharing all these. 💕 One tool I'm using right now to unfuck my life is letting go of "consistency." It's all well and fine for people that can show up every day at the same time, but after 40 years of trying I have to admit I'm just not capable of that. What I AM capable of, though, is showing up in a moment for long stretches of time here and there- so if I use that and break down what I do into bite sized pieces, I can spend 5 hours making several articles or episodes to be published over time. Then all I need to be consistent with is showing up to hit the publish button and share the links. Even then, I can schedule things for more stability on the front end while I do my chaotic thing in the background. Sometimes it's not about forcing ourselves to fit into a method, but changing the method to fit what we're already doing. 😉

Yep. As an almost 40yo who only got diagnosed with ADHD earlier this year, I realised (and since have been learning to accept) that all those strategies that work for other people but I can’t ever seem to become even remotely competent at, no matter how hard I try, is because it’s just not how my brain operates. I’ve been an iOS app trying to run on a Windows PC.

I had made a lot of progress with myself for two months but within a span of a few days, seems like all of that progress got f**ked and I'm back to square one. This video somehow served as a trigger for me to get out of the rut that I'm in right now and continue with my life again. Get that good progress rolling again. So again, thank you!

This was incredible thank you. One thing that has been helping me get out of a current rut has been paying attention to when I am telling myself a story. "you won't be good at that don't try" or "what is even the point in trying to clean this mess" etc. when I catch it, and pay attention, I am realizing more and more how much thinking those thoughts has just become... a habit? and if I think about it a little more in a more kind of questioning frame of mind it makes me snap out of it a little.

I'm a very positie person that's been lucky that a lot of things haven't been that hard for me. This has led me to double down on my "things wil be fine" mindset though, and since the end of my bachelors I haven't had the right motivation (or rather discippline) to actually get things done myself. I just made a plan for the last months of the year, and hopefully I'll be more unfucked soon as well. Also, amazing to see you and anthpo together!

@BeanWorks91
@BeanWorks91 6 месяцев назад
Thank you for creating content and sharing some vulnerabilities❤ You continue to be an inspiration for me to dig a little deeper. I’ve had a task list that is written down almost everyday for 4 months and it’s the same shit over and over. Seeing it not progress is definitely discouraging, but I think breaking things down granular will help with the momentum. The missing piece of the progression has been plowing through areas that trigger negative thoughts. Acting instead of over-thinking is where I have to be focussing. Reframing is an overlooked skill that I find so powerful. Often my mind says “you’re ass at everything, you should isolate”, but if I interrupt that intrusive thinking and reframe the puzzle, I’ve been able to push through some less fulfilling things. Sending love from Canada and hope things are settling down the way you feel is best ❤

gaddamn! i needed this vid so badly right now... and it appears! You mentioned having someone else going throught the same stuff.... I find that seeing how other people got through a similar situation is very very inspiring. I also like things like "atomic habits" and the sort... I try to make processess that work and just do them :) Habits by another name I guess. And goddamn why is beurocracy such a pain... its even worse when everything is in a foreign language :( I tend to call it "administrivia" - its mostly meaningless repetition of information that someone needs to tick off. I´ve found that copying out the info to a text file, and copy-paste every time its needed actually speeds up things, and I get to have a chuckle ...

My mental pep talk is often along the lines of "This is not the hardest thing you've done, and that makes you harder than this, so do the work." Variations of this get specialised to the struggle and turn into mantras until I can push the boulder of off the peak I've reached. I hope it helps because I often find myself feeling like everything is just the worst until I remind myself what I've handled in the past; although I would never want to have to deal with AusPost again if it could be avoided.

It's pretty common knowledge but it works pretty well
