Can anyone explain the section called IGNORE in the video descriptions of almost all of Andrew Kirby's videos? Can you guys explain what does that section means? Am i supposed to ignore and not to search those content?
@@entertainmentbuzz944 that's just the tags of this video. Meaning if the tag is 'ABC' and someone searches for 'ABC' on RU-vid, this video is going to be shown.
Journaling: 1)Weeding Identify deep rooted problem and remove them. The objective is getting rid on the roots to deep constant problems. - Define the problem objectively, and think about it objectively (how it is in reality) -Think about it subjectively, think about the problem it’s causing -Summarize it in a single sentence and write it on the top of the page -Write about the problem, just write about it as you feel -Soon or later you will find and rationalize the solution of the problem and you will find it on your very eyes written on that page How to do it: Cue → Routine → Reward -Cue: something that reminds you of doing the event -Routine: doing the event -Reward: something that you benefit from doing the event 2)Reflect Reflect on the past (day, week,month) You need a cue: for example brush your teeth -Reminds you of congratulating yourself for the things you have done well in that period -Pinpoints the things you could do better -Makes you stay on track and understand if you are actually getting closer to your goals 3)Planning Planning ahead for the future,for example every single evening or morning you plan tomorrow or the rest of the day -The next day you wake up knowing exactly what you need to do -Reduces thinking, increases actions -Plan whole year ahead (printing whole year calendar), this way your effectiveness will increase drastically it’s suggested that the cue for this routine is to reflect, but you could just set up a reminder on your phone, it’s up to you. 4)Note taking Use your jurnal to take notes of the thing you are consuming -Improves your attention -Allows you to use that information everytime you need it It’s suggested to make rules to yourself in order to not waste time being inefficient (for example watching instructional youtube videos without taking notes) 5)Questions The quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions that you ask yourself -Asking yourself the right questions is fundamental to make the right decisions in the future -By asking yourself questions you get knowledge from yourself instead of the outside (usually when we face a problem we search the solution outside ourselves EG: youtube, google) -There is a huge amount of perfect answers deep down in our brain that need to be pulled out by asking yourself the right questions it’s suggested to ask yourself what your life is gonna look life in 10 years time if you don’t change, if you are not happy with your answer then you need to ask yourself how you are going to change. 50 best questions to implement: andrewkirby.net/journal-prompts P.S I'm very very happy that my notes helped you all.
One tip I found helpfull: At first I struggled finding the right words to write my enteries. I was trying to write them as if they were meant for publishing. But they are not. The writing style is not important at all. Just write. They dont have to be pulizer award winning.
So true. Don't be afraid to just vomit those words onto the paper. Especially when you first start. Whatever comes to your mind, right it down. The more embarrassing and self conscious you are about something, the more powerful writing it down will be. No one is going to read it(unless you want them to). Heck, if you're afraid of that ever happening, write it down, follow the rest of the steps outlined in the video, and when your finished, tear out that page and destroy it.

"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." Yeah, that never happened for me...except that one day I looked back at all the lessons I learned in my life, and I realized that sometimes that teacher is a stranger, an author, or an event. It/they teach you the lesson you are ready for at that moment. You might not find a mentor as a person, so keep your eyes open for life mentoring you...because it always is.
I have to put in a plug for handwriting journal entries. For me, possibly because I'm older, writing in my journal, on paper, with a good pen that is a joy to write with, makes a huge difference in the benefit I derive from the process. I also type very fast with no shortage of typos; I find that writing thoughts out causes me to slow down and reflect on what I'm writing. But again, it could just be that I'm old and that's how my brain first learned to keep a journal. Great video!
No Stephen! It's not your age. When I first started to keep journals I was under instruction. They were adamant about handwriting our journal entries. To print our journal entries, with the best hand writing we can, does indeed produce all the things you mentioned and much more.
Came from your video about Marcus Aurelius Nighttime Routines and wanted learn about Journaling, will try it and try the nighttime routines as well cause I feel like it'll help me with my problems, cause schools don't teach about how to handle emotions and problems and stuff I'm 15 years old, thank you and continue on helping others ! ❤️ from the philippines

@@entertainmentbuzz944 They're tag people use to get tractions on their videos. It's what the video is about, and if people were to search for those terms, there's more of a chance the video is shown to them. So yeah ignore them but they're what the video is about more or less.
You are a life saver! I have been practicing Stoicism for a very long time. But I felt awful because it goes against the culture here. Your videos are a manual for someone like me because I have a giant mountain to climb. I am going to introduce you to my son-he is young enough to be influenced. Plus, he is an Anglophile. He will eat all of this up to make lifelong habits. Thanks!
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RU-vid channel 7 months ago about self development. Now I have 663 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Would be good to see an example of the journaling you do Andrew, to give us a rough idea of how we can translate this to our own journaling. Great content as always!
You are Jr. Tony Robbins!!! Amazing. So articulate, confident and strong. Bright young man. You'll have a very bright future; You are already living it! Don't ever loose course.
Gawd in heaven, these prompts are for juniors. I’ve been journaling for 36 years, and never needed this kind of dumbing down for solution/resolution exercises. No wonder people give up on journaling.
You deliver so much fucking value. Sometimes I don't even want to watch your videos because I know I'ma have to force myself to take action because your advice is too good to ignore
Hi Andrew, thanks for this video. My favorite item is #5 Questioning. As for my favorite insight, it is Cue - especially this: Start journalling after brushing my teeth at night (so that I can play today what I want to do tomorrow. We don't want to think tomorrow. We just want to do). Now, to go and have an awesome life! Thanks.
Just wanted to say that the weeding advice is fantastic. Being forced to define the problem before you solve it works so well. Thank you so much for sharing.
I started taking notes when watching RU-vid a while back. It’s really powerful because you tend to implement if it is practical knowledge. I however struggle with journaling, this helped a lot, thank you Andrew.
S-l-o-w down man! I'm only 72 but your volley of valid information overwhelms rather than informs. We can learn more from the 'eye' of the information than in the whirlwind of the manic delivery
Thanks for the PDF, Andrew. I love doing writing as a side hobby and recently thought about journaling my self-improvement journey. I do wish that I had journaled the past year of my self-improvement journey, but I'll start today. Better late than never.
Recently I started a reflective journal but, I was confused on how to reflect and how to organize my reflections on one page I realized it's best done by asking yourself questions as follows:- - what have I done good today? - what have I done bad today? - what can I do better tomorrow? - what have I learned today? That's as simple as it gets it's organized, keeps you aware of events your emotions and actions about those events and gives you a perspective on what qualities in yourself that need improvement.
Dude I love your videos, your presence is so impactful and I hope you keep doing what you're doing because you're doing so well and you're leveling up everyone else in the process. So inspirational!
I have tried these steps numerous times; the questions to ask myself are awesome, I get answers, but I get stuck on what issues I need to work on first. if I start with anger, then pain, fear, jealousy comes up. this is where I get stuck, it's like a Ferris wheel there's no end. I get mad and stop working on myself. I start again with a different emotions, I go back to all the other crap I've been dealing with all my life. These steps are a good start. I will continue to find the answers. Thank you for your time and effort Andrew!!
Ive used journaling for the purpose of inducing lucid dreaming. It works. At the end of the night I simply write out my day on paper. Then I use it as my AA tenth step also. But when I write it out before sleep it comes out in your dreams in interesting ways. You can find answers in your dreams. Then in the morning, (this is the most important part) as soon as you wake up, before you get out of bed start writing down your dreams. Even if you don't remember them just start writing. Eventually you will remember more and more of your dreams. The stream of consciousness gets longer and longer and lucid dreaming becomes more possible. Also through the day ask yourself, am I dreaming? ? You will start doin it when you dream and it will induce lucidity.
have you ever woken up in a dream? i had that happen a few times..i kept realizing i was dreaming and then would wake up in bed but still be dreaming..literal levels to my dreams
I would hate that to happen because I already have lucid dreams and I caught myself trying to think if something happened to me in a dream or real life
@@sadypack Nahh, nothing is wrong, just quite vivid dreams. It only happens quite rarely to be confused since most of my dreams do not make sense anyway :P Once (as a kid) I remember I was dreaming of toys and I told myself if I hug them while i was waking up, they would appear on my bed.
I started studying philosophy a few months back and not only found Stoic Philosophy, but found some of your videos on it. I knew of this one but didn't get around to watching it. I did take a note on it though on paper and in my mind. As far as I can tell you have sort of an uncommon take on Stoic philosophy with your reviewing the day in the morning and evening. To me, it means practices that develop self awareness, a topic I study. I knew that when I finally saw this video that I would be able to extend my take on that. Anyway, I've finally seen the video and got what I expected. I work on how humans can adapt to the changes going on in the world and self-awareness is an important part of it. For various reasons, one of my takes on it relates to breathe control - something essential to sports, music, and many other endeavors. It's more of a physical awareness. If you are bored, glance at zagwap.com to see what I am trying. If you are really bored or curious about human genetics (we have to adapt both genetically and strategically) you might glance at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wjVieFKevMk.html Thank you for your good work, M
Thank you so much for this. This is the video I send family and friends when I tell them about the power of journaling. After watching this for the first time, my wife and I immediately went out and bought journals. My first 'Problem' that I wanted to solve, was biting my nails. I'm 42 years old and have been biting my nails since I was a child. After following your journaling steps, I haven't bitten my nails one time in the past 3 months. I'm no longer a nail biter. Period. Journaling is one of the most powerful things you can do to help yourself in every way possible. I journal every day now. It's a legit GAME CHANGER. Thank you Andrew!
journaling changed me,,it helps me to move and i stop procrastinating,, and through journal i figured out a lot of ideas each day and it enhance my creativity. but for me journaling in dawn is more effective for me coz it gives me peace and help me to think properly, coz sometimes i tend to get lazy bcoz of the environment where noise affect my way of thinking ,so prefer journaling in a place where i can found peace.
I've been really stressed recently from work and school, and combined with quarantine I've just been feeling really awful. For so long my concept of self-care was one of consumerism, a reward was always a new item of clothing or a new game. This channel has been so helpful in encouraging me to look elsewhere to get to a better place, and become a better version of me.
Been journaling since I was a teen. This is a effective method. You can become your own therapist. You made some great points that I will use towards my journaling journey 👏👏🙂Thanks so much!😁
Everytime I am caught up in a busy mind and feel overwhelmed, I write in my journal just like this. I never thought I could benefit doing it everyday. Perhaps I wouldnt get to a point of being so overwhelmed if I did 😁 thanks, Andrew🖤
Andrew, I hope this comment makes it to you, thank you for everything that you have provided. I am now set on a new track of life to improve myself and I owe it to you for the guidance. The lessons you are providing are indeed priceless
What this guy shared here is really profound method if followed regularly will reap you numerous benefits . Extraordinary stuff . Please don't take these methods for granted, push yourself beyond your comfort zone and start journaling . And I wanna thank you bro Andrew for taking the time and putting the effort to share your knowledge with us .
I suggest if you're struggling with journaling, or struggling with anything, from emotions to stagnation, try writing out things that motivate you, a motivation page. It may help.
Wow! My boyfriend told me about your channel and he is doing exactly as you are saying. I can swear I have never seen him happier. :’) thank you for sharing this! Definitely going to start journaling too!
That explains why when I’m sad about something I always write to make myself think for solutions and after that the purpose of life just strikes into my mind and clears my head and I’m able to move on with Self-motivating words I’ve written down for self improvement!
Hey Andrew, the “cue, routine, reward” model you discussed reminds me of the “hooked model” by Nir Eyal which he explains why digital products and platforms, such as Instagram have actually been designed to tap into human psychology to play on how habits are formed. It actually explains why they’re so addictive and habitual and he expands on the “reward” to be rewards of the tribe, the self etc. Not exactly 100% relevant but reminded me and it’s interesting stuff you should check out his book if you’re interested!
A similar process would also be known as dopamine fasting, resetting or rewiring Basically replace highly addictive mindless activities with mindful and productive actions such as reading, writing and practicing, so that your brain is once again satisfied with these smaller dopamine hits and you actually crave doing the things you really love
I'm a student and this high value video has motivated me to use my time efficiently and reach my goals. The one thing I loved most is using RU-vid for gaining knowledge and not wasting on entertainment. Thank you for this wonderful video Andrew!!
This is very powerful. The key thing for me is doing the planning the night before, and the cues. I have been planning in the morning, and sometimes I just run out of time. I realise I have to plan the evening before to get up and just go. Also, I already do the question thing, but I need to ask more and better questions. Thanks Andrew. This has been great. You are my favourite RU-vidr.
I started journaling last week, but hopefully by doing these exercises I'll use that journaling time wisely and actually change my life for the better.
I'm From Brazil and recently I have been Studying about brain functioning and how to improve my abilities of learning, reading, and writing. After that, I knew the journaling path and it brought me to your channel. This morning have been the first time that I wrote and now I'm excited to apply that technic you have taught us. I'll return here 1 or 2 months later to give you a feedback. Thank you so much for the tips !!
I was just thinking about wanting to start a journal, and had no idea where to begin, then the video was just there! Thank you so much for this amazing video! I'm astonished by your knowledge! Again thank you, I'm implementing these techniques into my day as we (I) speak (write😅)!
Tonight I start journaling. I’m excited about it. I like the idea of planning tomorrow today. I haven’t even started yet but I already feel as if I am becoming the pilot of my own life. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us . You are inspiring and appreciated.
Andrew , you are at a high level for real. You content is amaizing. I was listening to Maxwell audiobooks and I think you are a great example about what he describes about being generous with others, being a good mentor and trying to trascend with the acts. Respect and love from Arg (LATAM)
Andrew you are the shit! Saw the first Video had to abonate, I like every video I watch from you because you really give value, so much value! I am so glad that I found your channel because this is what I needed and I couldn't find help. It so hard to get a place for therapie for example because anxiety and all the other stuff needs to go, but the steps to get help are many and sometimes they don't lead anywhere or give poor results because of poor help. Your channel provides so much... I will use your help and I am super grateful that you do this! there are so many selfimprovement channels but yours is incredible! keep it up!
I dont take notes on videos. I just put on videos in the background of my cooking or chores. But i definitely cannot read any of my books without having my notebook ready for notes. I read books on health, neuro psychology, spirituality, and physics so i always feel like i cant read it without taking notes. Its great seeing your videos basically telling me im doing everything right. I think one thing u forget to mention is that this practice isnt permanent and once you have it down then it comes like second nature and no need to journal anymore :D
Nice Andrew. The perfect nudge for me. This is the perfect "next chapter" for me. In my 22 years in business I always carried a recorder to note my thoughts throughout the day. These thoughts were then listed at the end of the day as "action items". This was a way to not let the thought evaporate and become just another fleeting noise in my mind in the course of a busy work day. It was a powerful "secret' I'd discovered. Your thoughts on journaling are quite timely for me today. Thank you! P.S. I've always loved to write, so the bells are ringing, the birds are singing... :)
I've been looking for an effective way to journal for a while and this is a game-changer. Probably my favorite tip is number 5 because I'm always asking myself big questions.
I appreciate the deep dive into journaling. I have been journaling for a few years on and off. As you can imagine the benefits and impacts has also been sporadic. Your video has helped me clarify my process. Now I use two journals. One for planning my day and one for weeding. It’s also great to hear your success. Thanks for sharing wonderful content.
So many questions to ask my self, and feels like so little time. Its a mater of breaking it down and taking small steps. For me something like a question a day or span answering over 2 days.
Brother , I started journaling three months ago but it is as random as it gets . I talk to god in it, I try and integrate my ego in it ,analyse social situations and myself in them. Overall it has helped me tremendously and that was before finding out about this video. Thank you for being you and doing what you are doing. I see order coming to the chaos and look forward to that . Much respect and all the best .
