Why Do We Perform Bad Habits? And How Can We Break Them? 

This channel is a treasure trove of self improvement, thank you for making these

"Habits are modern day solutions to ancient desires" So Trueee

Bad habits is a consequence of the emotional void that we try tap into. A purpose, a meaning in life, can help to find a direction in life.

Just watching RU-vid is my habit

As someone who is a visual thinker I really appreciate all of your drawings, thank you for creating them.

Bad Habits: Instant Rewards; Delayed Consequences;

15 minutes of Doulingo can teach you a language, what can 15 minutes of social media do? Learning a language instead of social media is a nice solution, especially when you try to keep your streak...

To build a good habit: 1) Make it obvious 2) Make it attractive 3) Make it easy 4) Make it satisfying To break a bad habit: 1) Make it impossible 2) Make it unattractive 3) Make it difficult 4) Make it unsatisfying

Your words become your actions, Your actions become your habits, Your habits become your values, Your values become your destiny controlling our habits is controlling our destiny

You could also not save credit card info online to make it more of a task when buying useless things.

Your channel is gold. Thanks for all those lovely and inspiring videos. I feel energized specially after this one. Grateful for your work

Now this is the real therapy.

If Mike disabled his apps on his phone, that must have included RU-vid. Then he couldn't have learned from you

Replacing very easy habits, with ones that require effort, isn’t exactly an answer either. I do the bad habits because they don’t require effort. That’s why they help me in that moment.

Recently found this channel randomly and gave one video a shot. Then I watched another. Now I watch at least one a day (while I'm doing other things so I'm not losing valuable productivity time)...truly an amazing channel for self-motivation! Thank you for the hard work and awesome content!

Your videos really helps me and others to life an effective life. I'm so glad I "accidentally" stumble on one of your videos. Thank you for taking your time out of your productive schedule to make videos that help people be better than yesterday.

Thank god you are back.

Thank you very much! Obviously your are doing a social service. People who understand this and do as explained, will definitely win.

The best RU-vid Channel EVER!!! Keep on going man

Finally this channel is back

Another amazing video. This guy's great. My huge take away way manipulating your surroundings so you can reinforce your new habit. Also, tracking your new habit so you can see how far you've already gone.

Thank you for this great message 😇

my bad habit was procrastinating and I always watched these turkish series on youtube. Now I only watch them whenever I am running on the mill, it helped me connect smth i rather not like with something i like and it motivated me. Also it helped keeping track on my daily progress when it came to studying. What did I do today? Sometimes even tho i study the whole day it isn't satisfying, bc it feels like i didn't really reach the goal of all the things i wanted to do, but when i write it down, i see how much I accomplished, that's the moment when i truly feel satisfied and it makes me keep going. I really recommend everyone to try different things, i never really thought i could be one of those who can manage their time and be hard working every day. I only watch your videos when I eat or are on the toilet, that's my new rule when it comes to youtube. I kept it for a week now, and I enjoy your videos every day :) Thank you

Great video - thanks for your help. It is now putting what we know into action - that is the challenge

Yo man, your videos really help me, I know much people say this but know this aren't just words but lives❤️

Thanks for these. Ultimately, I know that my capacity to change will always be in my own hands, and that I will always be my own worst enemy, but I can use your videos as a refuge when I feel myself failing.

Your channel is gold.

Recently, I semi-quit a pornography addiction, it was something I fought for two yrs, and it was no joke. For a while, I was too afraid of admitting that I was addicted watching pornography, it ranged from watching it once a week to everyday, it wasted my time, made me feel miserable and made me see things I wish I didn’t see. Eventually I built up the courage to admit this problem, first with my cousin, then my parents after we had an argument about health issues. In December 2021, I told them and apologized for my actions, they forgive me and handled them the android phone where I was watching pornography, thus slowing down my addiction. Despite some relapses, I haven’t watched pornography in a week, I’m now 21 and I’m about to start college soon, though tbh I wish I started it 2 yrs earlier if I didn’t became addicted to watching pornography, but what’s important is that I haven’t watched it in a week and college is right around the corner, hoping to get a career in the film industry as a filmmaker, so at the very least, my life is headed in a direction that is fit, but still need to correct my mistakes and not relapse or give in since it does take time to recover. This was my story about how I’m slowly overcoming my pornography addiction and finding something to do with life now that I’m an adult.

The only way to truly fail is by giving up 🔥

Best quote: With bad habits, the rewards are immediate and the consequences come later. It s vice versa with good habits

Wonderful video

This is from the book atomic habits, good summary !

Your life tutorials are amazing, there are young ones there trapped in not been able to decide a real life pourpose which fulfills their real emotional cravings, universities raises very competitive , + all social approvment required to be approved ...kills for many a wonderful seed we all have..these kids studying biz their expectativas are so high that are unreachable because all information has trainned them to think in instant reward..so a lot of youth is kinda lost..i Wish you can make some Magic and help young ones trapped ...greeting from Mexico

Awesome,!

Psych2go + Better Than Yesterday = Best mental health

I have quitted most of the bad habits. No more junk food, no more smoking, no more alcohol, not having TV in my house, deleted social media sites and games from my phone 😇🅰️

Very good video.

Mike is your favoirite character

Thank youu very much

I think you should make another video on effect of observing on habit and its whole movement, how it is triggered and what is its end desire, from beginning to the end, the art of observation.

i love this channel

For me I try mini habits to avoid bed habits it's very useful method.

Make your tomorrow better than your today

See my problem is I don't want to spend the rest of my life fighting with habits I ingrained into my psyche as a kid. I always go back to them. And if I can't achieve permanent and eventually effortless change I don't want to keep trying. It's pointless and demotivating, exhausting, and makes me constantly feel badly about myself. I'm actually getting sick of the self improvement hamster wheel. I just want to live. I just want to be myself. I'm so tired. But when I stop trying my life falls into utter chaos. Is this what I have to live with the rest of my life?

You angel of a channel, where have you been?

Highly recommend james clear's atomic habits for a very similar but more in depth read on the topic

Everything he said was valuable.

Nice thank you :)
