Stop watching self improvement videos. 

In honor of the people who did the push ups for every like: I will do 1 push-up.

thats why i recommend to everyone who sees this comment to go and read the book called Escape The Comfort Cage, it has completely changed my life

You reminded me of this quote: "Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one." - Marcus Aurelius

"stop watching self improvement videos." -a self improvement video

Fact: Almost everyone who clicked this video wants to stop seeing self improvement videos and start their grind.

I really needed this, I've been just addicted to youtube videos because i think it'll give me knowledge about improving my life but i already do know what i should do i just dont do it... this kind of consistent self awareness is what i and many people need. thank you for creating :)

''You only need 20% information to get 80% results''

You just red my mind. That's what I'm talking about. This is also an addiction. Speaking a lot about improving and letting things go, but actually staying as a consumer of self improvement. People need to LIVE REAL LIFE AND QUIT SOCIAL MEDIA. 💯

This video really does have an excellent point: taking action is the most important part Same sh*t, different day. Don’t want the same sh*t? Do something different.

Awesome video man, I totally agree with you. Most of those videos are just a dopamine hit and nothing else. I stopped watching those videos and I was recently shocked when I found a "banned" ebook on Forbidden Pages. I was rly depressed and procrastinated so much, but picking up this book and actually applying the knowledge helped me out a lot.

i was also trapped in information overloading, i was reading so many self improvement books , watching self development videos that came on my feed, then i realize that i have been just increasing my knowledge but i am not executing it, if you are getting knowledge but u are not taking actions then that knowledge goes in vain, i hope this video reaches out to everyone who is facing the problem of information overloading, thanks for this video people need it.

Good point. I find myself watching self improvement videos, making to-do lists and plans, but then feeling like thats enough. and i dont really spend the actual time on it. its just mental masturbation, it becomes a form of procrastination or a form of entertainment. im trying so hard to really live that life with consistency but damn...

"If you click on this video I taught you nothing" lmaooo 💀

Planning to do a 6 month social media break. Who’s with me ?? 💪🏼

1 like = 1 pushup Woah I'm in trouble

I don't usually comment on videos but to me your video was a confirmation of what I've been doing recently after years of therapy and watching these self-improvement videos. I've finally started taking action after gaining the knowledge I needed to start. And it's the best I've been in a long while. It may sound silly and simple but actually doing things makes me feel much better afterwards. I've learned a lot and now it's time to take action! Prepare yourself and go! This is your sign to act! Life keeps going and you deserve to enjoy it. Good luck everyone, you can do this! 🎉❤

I never knew people had this problem. It took me one motivational video to just start working out, eating well and pursuing my dreams. I just watch those videos daily to see if theres anything new to learn. But its nice that you are posting this for people that do struggle with these issues!

Learning is motion, doing is action 💪 And remember that what you do makes your identity.

The first self improvement video thats actually lowkey helpful

action people, ACTION!

Crazy thing is I started procrastinating when I started watching self improvement videos. Before self improvement I just took action because I knew what I needed to do and now I am addicted to watching these self improvement videos. My life was 100 times more productive when Addison Rae was on my fyp and now I am just a lazy mf with all these self help gurus on my fyp.

"I felt frustrated by this mistake. I watched some videos and told myself, 'I will start tomorrow.' However, when tomorrow came, I didn't take any action. I kept procrastinating, telling myself I would start the next day, but the cycle continued with the same result. Then, I came across your videos and told myself, 'Hey, stop that! It's time to take action.' I wouldn't have done it without your video, so thank you so much. You really helped me. ❤️"

God bless you man. I was addicted to watching "how to study" videos instead of actually working on school assignments. I was also overthinking learning a lot. I just had a great wake-up call thanks to you. You are right, the knowledge is within me all along, I will get cracking starting today. Thx for sharing!

God bless to all the people who are still fighting to get onto the correct path 💗💗

Started self improvement but went back to my old ways as soon as i saw results and now I'm stuck

The way you articulated those thoughts so easily , respect man !

Few days ago I've realized that there's no right answer how to live a life .I was stuck in the loop,searching the for the seemingly"perfect "answer, not realizing that it is already there.We all know what's best for us,we are just lenient to take action.

I like watching them because it's company, and it's nice to be around people who want to improve. but for a looong time I did just watch these as a replacement for taking action. this is an important thing to be aware of

This is what i needed!!!!

1 STEP FORWARD AND 3 STEPS BACK in the background just made this video 100x better

This is amazing , i just opened youtube to watch one of those videos and this video pop up into my screen “stop watching” now i will change my plan and do some real work , Thank u ✨

exactly what i need to hear at this very moment. i took months repeatedly watching 'how to start a youtube channel' but i never started. because by watching it, it gives me a sense of... yea i can watch more of these and feel 'accomplished' when in fact, i have done nothing. just before i clicked on your video i told myself it's time to stop and not watch any of 'how to start a youtube channel' kind of video because i NEED TO START RIGHT NOW!

I love this take! I can definitely see where self-improvement videos could hinder somebody's progress. On my channel I try to give advice and tips from my past experience that I feel like could help someone else. Thanks to your video, I'll make sure that I emphasize execution so people don't get caught up in the loop from me. I appreciate your content, keep it up!

Id say that watching all of this self improvement videos and not doing anything, its worse than non sense scrolling, because you are lying to yourself that you are improving by just watching, but most of the time you could watch 3 videos and get the same information. Or procastinating doing good habits waiting for something, like new year or something like that, just start today and make the change.

Think but never do. We have to do something to help ourselves… especially when you’re depress, burnt out, tired and stress. Thank you for this video

Banger video. Binging too much "self improvement" content actually makes me feel ill and gives me analysis paralysis.

Swear to god no one have ever been so right, i get what you said and its exactly right. Thank you! You changed my life, best self improvement video ever.

this video called me out so bad lmao

bro 💯💯,i was also addicted to seeking motivation from videos but slowly i started to understand that i was just wasting my time by watching such videos, now I am self motivated

This video now holds a special place in my heart

1 like = 25 minutes study Keep reminding me

Thank you Alan. I have just bought a bin bag full of weed, and 20 year sub to World of Warcraft. Yes sir!

I think it really is crucial to know when to get up and take action - it's much easier to bask in your fantasy of self-improvement rather than actually making it. However, after about 9 months of massive improvement (after 1 month of watching these types of videos) I have been going downhill, slowly but surely, and it's terrifying. I think that is because, as you said, the culture we live in is what determines our behaviour. The videos gave me just that - I spent long periods of time looking at and listening to the people I want to be like, so that mindset was normalised. But since I stopped watching them for a really long time, I can sense my will bending to the influence of those who are simply not on the same journey as me, because these are the people I spend my time with (although I have been making some wonderful friends because of my improvement). This is why I think you, whoever is reading this, should really find a harmony between taking advice and taking action, even if you think you already have the knowledge. It can be books or podcasts too, but I feel like it's logical to target more senses at once. It's not like chulde didn't say all this - I'm just emphasising the point, as I feel that this may bring upon my downfall and I don't want anyone else in this position. Of course, we all have different problems, so you must decide for yourself what's the right thing to do. And thanks for reading all this.

Fantastic and succinct via the simplicity and truth. Last month I created a great habit: the 4th item in my Morning Plan is to "Health Bounce" on my Rebounder (mini trampoline) while listening to an Inspirational Message. Typically about 10 minutes. If it's a longer video, I listen in chunks. When I feel like scrolling, I select videos I want to watch then add to a specific RU-vid playlist. This approach has really helped with at least one area of my hyperfocus tendency 🎊

This will only make me feel miserable, only taking actions help things to become better.

its so true - plus it keeps pushing the lie that we need to be "fixed"

Many thanks for having the courage to shoot this video and sharing your thoughts. When I'm feeling good, energetic I can make it happen any action which were stated repeatedly in these videos (or how to do it) But when I'm not okay, these videos do not help. I just become a passive consumer and let all of these videos impress me for change, which does not happen that way. Deep inside we all know what is right and what is required from us for us. Many thanks 👏

I agree, 4ra really connects people. We discuss strategies and cheer for our teams together.

Nice. This is exactly what i’ve been thinking lately. Just by watching videos or planning life is not gonna get better. Only the product of your consumption changes, but you don’t change. That’s why success is built with actions not words or videos

Good job man. I am grateful that usually these are on as the "mindless background noise" while I am tackling a productive task: Exercising, Editing, Reading, Running, Working. This video is a great wake-up call for people who are SOLEY watching these videos though. Gotta Do the Do. Produce, don't only Consume.

Damn. This was so so so good. I have had this same thought a bunch of times. It kinda reminds me of the whole "when I have XYZ, then I'll be happy" paradigm, when I've already got everything I need get there. Thanks for the reminder!

Brother 100% relatable 😬😬😬 I am watching this types of videos from a long time and when this type of videos recommend a thought came to my mind that by this trick or information i will change my life after watching this but nothing had happend yes many videos are very usefull and its just due to lack of action Thank you ❤

Well said. Action folks. But also to know when you’re on the field and when it’s time to rest ❤

Thank you, i watched defferent self development videos, but nothing change in my life, time is very valuable!!🎉

This is by far the most real thing out here that beat the awareness outta me. 😂 Thanks for sharing this reminder! Needed it! ❤

This is my favorite channel. I especially like it when you explain everything so nicely. I wish you a lot of success with the channel and happy life.

Thanks man 20 pushups time lessgo 💪🔥

Slow progress is better than no progress. Keep going and keep being persistent and never give up

Sooooo..... you're telling me that watching self-improvement videos are hindering me from actual self-improvement..... while at the same time, I watch this video that is at its essence... a self-improvement video? That's wild man. (Cue mind being blown)

This man be spitting the facts I needed to hear.

Wow great video! You're so right I need to stop just studying instead need to start doing more. I think the main reason I keep watching because like you said it's easy and feels like progress. actually applying the knowledge is the hard but rewarding part. Thanks again.

I believe the creators intent behind their self improvement videos, is for the viewer to watch them, and have that sudden spark of inspiration and drive to go out and improve you life. But RU-vid keeps recommending more and more self improvement videos with eye catching titles that pull you in and send you down a rabbit hole of endless self improvement techniques. There comes a time when you have to stop watching and apply what you already know and live your life.

Thanks for making this video. Most self-improvement gurus bolster themselves by shaming their audience for not copying whatever behavior they engage in. Everyone should just do what works for them and adjust accordingly.

I have been waiting for YT to recommend this vid to me. Ever since, I have been stuck in this cycle and don't know wat to do or implement on my current life, but now when my vision is more clear thanks to you, I was able to escape from being hopeless and continue to watch the same topic over and over.

This is an amazing video. It’s not even a self improvement channel but this video is better than 75% of the “true” self improvement videos. If you read this comment before actually seeing this video make sure to listen to everything. Enjoy watching.

Your message is extremely powerful. Thank you for the video! I think that the majority of people struggle with “always improving” by staying in the comfort zone. This is the actual world we live in - with hundreds of thousands experts on social media, teaching us how to be more: Productive, Happier, Healthier etc. And I think we have separated so much from our own brains and hearts, that we All might need a big pause. In order to reconnect with ourselves. This starts to be more and more noticed - people do really wake up and start asking themselves such questions.

This is where i've been stuck; knowing but not applying it and taking action. Bit by bit ill put effort and stay consistent; and yes ill give myself breaks, reminders and etc. Thank you for making this video, you've gotten a new subscriber. Im here to support as we all navigate our ways through this long-lasting journey of better ourselves. Thank you, Chulde.

I just have to say thank you for this. This made me realize just how long and how much work I put into myself, but don't actually let myself reap the rewards out of it. Thank you for the wake up call.

this video is gonna go viral, I swear

Well said. Action folks. But also to know when you’re on the field and when it’s time to rest

this video is gonna blow up mark my words!

i’ve been watching a lot of motivational videos to be successful, until i forgot to start working to make my dreams come true hehe

May be it's your first self improvement video, but all just it says: "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will divert your direction and you'll call it fate" ~James Clear

I love this message and it's a good reminder. I've seen a few people discuss the topic of the over-saturation of self--help videos, and you're totally right : DOING the work is the only thing that will progress you forward - not just consuming self-improvement content. BUT - I wouldn't have pulled myself out of such a dark place if it wasn't through self-improvement content / educational content. It's also better than filling your brain with senseless noise / entertainment. To a certain extent - I think you're right. Doing the work is the answer. But at the same time - self improvement content is so incredibly helpful and valuable.

Amazing video! That is exactly what I've been thinking of recently. Too much information on how to live and too little life in my life. Thank you for sharing this video. It's refreshing.

Fantastic video in all aspects 👏

Great Video man! Been going through this! Gonna take action now

Those self improvement videos helped me become a better version of my yesterday self, I don't know about others if they apply what they are learning from self improvement videos that they watch.

Im only getting in self improvement to be fully focus for my RU-vid channel and keeping my relationship heathy I really love her

Same has happened to me in my novel writing process I keep thinking I need more and more and goes on to read books or articles or watch videos. I am grateful that this video pop up

The real question's is: What will the actions result in? Is it what your searching for?Is it what you Need? What will you learn? In what way will it matter? How did it change other people? Who are you doing it for? How will it change you? And Will it be worth the sacrifice's...? 👍

Manifestation without action is the beginning of dilution

Did 60 pushups on one go after watching this, tho I normally do 200 each day but not on a go. W video bro!

I have developed a bad habit of fear of missing out. I have been watching how to be .... Every now and then and it made my self-esteen very low.. thank you for telling us what actually happens when we doomscroll, we are already self-sufficient, capable of doing purposeful thing in life

Liked and subscribed when you told me to not click on next recommended XD

Discipline and persistence is the key for success. Just believe in yourself

one like one pull up

Thank you for this video. I love the fact that is actually short, so it doesn't actually take much more of our time into that cycle of just watching good content but not taking action. The message feels more genuine due to that.

Thanks bro you spoke real facts it really is all the same shit we just gotta act upon it.

yes bro very true, and I did your 20 pushups and a few 1 arm PUs, and some squats and calf raises FTW. also trying to eat healthier so step by step I'm actually self improving.

bro made a self improvement video about why you shouldnt watch self improvement videos😭😭

Of course!!! I know that. Like I’ve said to my own kids, & has become THE watchword in the family, I don’t care what you know, I care what you do, as in “action”.

1:16 whole point

It took me years to understand this. I quit watching self improvement rise and grind videos and started my RU-vid channel. I know it's nothing as compared to others but it took so much effort to Just break that cycle and actually do something. I take one step everyday and have a long way to go. Thank you for this video ❤❤

You’re the only person who can get you out of your situation. Reflecting on similar things over on my page. Love these thoughts!

I think that these sorts of video are also addictions because the more you watch them the less valuable they are. Obviously it will be much better if you start to take really actions and stop watching this videos because like you have said you already we have the information and useful knowledge so now we can start. I believe it may be easier than we think.

Your channel is such an inspiration! I'm just starting out with my own channel-please wish me luck on my journey.

i watch both you and ruff

Taking action is not taught well enough in social media. I applaud you for it and for motivating me!

But wait! Isn't that a self improvement video?
