You'll watch an entire Netflix show even when the first episodes are slow and boring just because someone told you "it gets better." *But what if you looked at your goals like that and watched your life get better instead???*
I drop a show if it's not entertaining. I can never understand why anyone would sit down and do nothing while watching something not great. Go find something greater to watch, no ?
I just heared "Don't stop doing the things that got you out of bed". And as a person with depression it just made me cry. But later that day I stood up, took a shower, was even able to eat and tidied up my room, a little bit. Thank you.
I think I have a different type of depression. I can't feel anything the last 9 months. No happiness, no sadness. The other chance is that I'm sick in brain. Hope you doing better bro.
@Joseph Lakeway Try to set daily goals, and take weed as a reward. There are actually these kinds of lockboxes with an alarm that you can set. The box wont open until the given time. For example: we let it open up after 18:00 PM. that makes you productive until that time. You will trick your brain and stay calm, because you actually know that you will smoke that day.
1) Follow the path of most Resistance - When we overcome Resistance we absorb its power 2) Don´t stop doing things that got you out of a bad situation 3) Record everything
The simplest way is to just remove the worst negative influences - it is astonishing how much of a difference it makes. Moderation in eating and social media and exercise and you can be a new person
I do not want to sound cliche and say things like "this channel changed my life", but it actually did! this is probably the only channel that really understands what sh..t people are going through and gives advises that really works! Thank you so much Joey, please post more videos👍🏻
@@aceclipse Such a brilliant mind; he and Tesla, are such avatars of the benefit of combining the spiritual and the scientific And this channel is truly good. Thanks so much! Truly.
The recording part is huge. I started journaling 6 months ago. And I wrote around 1400 pages so far. All about emotions, behaviors, thoughts, bodily sensations, habits, moods. Everything. And I've come to realize how absolutely everything is connected and intertwined with each other. You can't separate a thought from the body. It's literally part of it such that it actually directly influences your blood chemistry. And I've come to realize how big of a tool our concious awareness is. What you focus on is how you feel. Oh, and unrecognized shame and guilt are huge energy zappers by the way...
Dude, I love watching your videos simply for 2 reasons. 1. The wisdom you impart is priceless & applicable. 2. My head seems to be well on its way to resemble yours pretty soon.
#2 is so point on. Whenever people say things like "I've tried all the diets and none of them worked!" Is it that none of them worked, or is that all things stop working when you stop doing them?
I always find myself in an endless battle with Rule #2. Especially when it comes to working out & eating healthy. I have to constantly remind myself that fitness and health have no end. Keep showing up and put down the damn Doritos!
Saaaame, it’s a constant cycle for me. As soon as I get to where I want to be, and allow myself some pizza, the pizza wins and I have to start over again.
Steve Kamb from NerdFitness really left an impression with me with his idea of "never two in a row". Meaning in whichever way you might fail / fall off the rails, be it your nutrition, your training, your work or something else: Just make sure it doesn't happen twice in a row. Because if it does, you're starting to build momentum, but in the wrong direction. Just forgive yourself for one oopsie and pick up right where you left off. Skipped the gym once for whatever reason? No biggie, just resume your schedule from there. Had a binge and ate all the things? Ok, shit happens, forgive yourself and resume your previous diet regimen. Now I'm not saying this always works or that I haven't failed and actually done 2 or even 20 in a row because I sure have. But I like to believe that in the past 9 or so years since I saw his video on this topic, a loooot of times this thought stopped me and prevented me from going further down that negative path. And as we learn in this video, it's all about doing the same, positive things consistenly for long enough. Anything that supports that is good in my book.
@@DJcs187 thank you for this info. Quite insightful and reminds me to keep working out and not be tempted to skip for stupid reasons. Rn its cold where i live so it turns me off from working out lol but ill make sure to push thru that resistance and keep training. The feeling after is the best. Cheers
Oh man, getting comfortable with the uncomfortable/choosing the path of most resistance is something I struggle with so hard as a person with anxiety, but I know logically that it's the only way to overcome my brain giving me anxiety haha
Rule 1: Summary of War of Art. Rule 2: Summary of Atomic Habits. Rule 3: Thinking is Writing.(Record Everything). For rule 3, I would suggest any PKM such as LYT + Obsidian/Notion. Thank you for this video!
Needed this, been in a funk cycle last 2 weeks with no motivation or drive. Its something I've come to expect with my work on self-awareness this year but I've yet to defeat it.
Dude absolutely, everything said in this video is fact absolute fact. Everyday since the beginning of this year I've been throwing myself in one uncomfortable situation to another. And the progress I've been experiencing is AMAZING!! And I'm still in the beginning stages I'm still a caterpillar. The future is much brighter now. Thank you man you've absolutely helped me get through ruts.
Hey dude my son and I only recently found you on this platform and we wanted to say thank you ! For your funny, insightful, and beautifully crafted videos !!!
Holy crap, I got more out of this 8 minute vid than any other channel that provides information and drags on for close to an hour! Keeping it real, encouraging and non complex for the dummies (like me) is key for a good kick up the butt! Cheers for the impactful and insightful 8 mins Joey 👍😊 transformational content ❤
Hey Joey just thought I’d share that your videos genuinely help me so much! I also take so many notes that often I end up just writing down what you say word for word since it’s so true and meaningful. You’re definitely one of my favorite UA-camrs, keep doing what you’re doing man, much love!
It is clear that every second of your video contains effort and its so refreshing to watch. There`s not a second of the video which seems to have been thrown in lazily. Its good to see rather than watching stock videos put together. The personal touch is great.
is there a joey hack to overcome heartbreak, and when you build up an idea of what life "should've" or "could've" been like? need a video like this right now
One more that helped me tremendously - Cut out from your life all of those people who treat you badly and do not start building any kind of relationship with people who you know are not good for you. Such a time saver!
This video came at the perfect time! I've been handling this lockdown fairly well but I can feel myself starting to spiral and I know that when it happens it's going to be really difficult for me to get out of it. This is the motivation I need! Here's hoping that I don't spiral again and can stay sane until lockdown is over.
i'd just like to add that watching your content is probably on a lot of peoples' list of things to do for the second rule of keep doing things which started a cycle of improvement behaviour
I literally panicked a few hours ago bc i recently made a major life desition and I'm having second thoughts. This video is a great indicator to not listen to those thoughts. Loved it!!
Man, your videos are just getting better and better everytime. From a videographer to another, your editing rythm is extremely well balanced, your b-roll is on point and satisfyingly detailed. I love how you set up small and simple shots like a close up of you closing your water bottle or closeup of the count-down timer on the treadmill. You use natural light and practicals in the best way possible. Everything is so on point. Seems like a ton of work, and it is so well done. Also, thanks for bringing me out of my current rut.
The part of the recording is definitely true, I started journaling 3 years ago and it completely changed my life. To be able to see your thoughts in the paper and understand what you felt when you wrote always remind you of who you are and what truly matters for you, it is one of the best things I did in my life if not the best.
I love the better editing, better acting, and just overall improvement of the videos. Have been a follower for a long time on this channel, hope you can start posting more frequently! Have a comment for the algorithm
You have no idea on how the rule number 2 describes most of how I am. Thanks for provide this rich source of self knowledge for me and for others. You was able to shine a light on transform thoughts on actions to move things forward. Thanks bro!
It always feels like it's too late to start recording and understanding my feelings and behaviors. It feels like I don't even understand myself yet and I'm too old to begin because of all the lost time. But I'm going to start now, because when else? Thanks for the great reminder!
Yes Nate, you can do it! ❤️ You don’t have to be young to change, you probably have lots of years ahead and you can make those better by starting to record your feelings and behaviors.
The second point hit me in my soul. You defined the past 3 months for me, I’ll come out of a rut and go straight back in after a week or two. This video will save meeee!
My favorite video of yours yet! That’s saying something as well. Really well articulated some points that I’d pondered in the past, wondering if they were in fact true. Really awesome to hear you state them clearly!
I love it, Better Ideas! No Caps Lock title, no intro for video, you just focus the attention of your loyal audience, concluding some of your thoughts before. A great reminder with style👏🏻 Thank you!
I thought your best line was, “And the algorithm shoves my bald head into people’s faces.” But then I heard something about two brain cells and meat mountains. Your comedy’s getting better and better and it really makes the messages stick! Thank you for this video :D
I love the simplicity, clarity and basic common sense tips and suggestions here. You’re really helping me with practical, doable advice and reminders. Thank you!!!
you think its still worth a listen/read for a person whos listened to 1000s of hours of podcasts and audiobooks related to personal development and philosophy/psychology?
@@MysticalPolymath Unless you've read other books that breakdown habits, I'd say probably.. The Power of Habit and Atomic Habits basically just talk about habits develop and are maintained. It might help you recognize bad habits that you haven't been aware of and develop new, healthy habits.
@@RthereNEusernames Yes. Atomic Habits is about recognizing and maintaining or breaking habits. In order to do this, you have to know how people work. Thus, the book is a really good study of human behavior. So you won’t just learn how YOU can start/break a habit, but how you can lead others into doing so as well. For example, if you manage a business and want things done a certain way bc you believe it will increase profits, you know how to structure and incentivize your business so that the workers do things the way you want, because you understand human behavior. It’s a great book for any coach, teacher, leader, or individual.The amount of ways you could apply the things you learn in the book are endless.
I fucking love the stuff you put out, man. I relate to it so much and it doesn't feel overly complicated or complex to comprehend and to eventually implement. Thank you
Holy shit your videos are so high quality and exciting for the user. Great scripting, meaningful words, perfect execution. Funny/good acting, SUPER relatable clips and situations. Very good practical points and advice. Fitting music and super professional editing.
1. When we overcome resistance, we absorb its power. The greater the resistance, the greater the power. 2. Don't stop doing the things that get you out of a bad situation. 3. Record your thoughts and feelings on a day-to-day basis. That way, it's easier to see our thoughts for what they are.
One of the biggest changes I have made in my life, is not using self attack for improvement. Self love allows you to be more consistent and sustainable 🥰
@@mynameisjeff9124 just don't blame yourself too much for your current bad situation. Always try to have a positive outlook and try to identify your problems first. Then try to find solutions for them instead of thinking what I have done wrong in the past and regret too much. Because no body is perfect my friend. Force yourself in doing focused work.
@@mynameisjeff9124 I have to go to the gym and starve myself cause I'm fat / ate too much today -> I want to improve my physique so I'm going to the gym and it's fine if I ate too much, let's get back on track
#1 Follow the Path with more RESISTANCE #2 DON'T STOP DOING THE THINGS WHICH HELP YOU GOT OUT FROM THE BAD SITUATIONS #3 START RECORDING . ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR WORK AND THE EFFORT YOU PUT IN YOUR VIDEOS 👑❤
for rule #2, i think we should change our mind from escaping negative situations to archiving a really nice goal in our life, this idea do help me a lot
This will help me improve my life so much, a huge thanks for it, nowadays I've been living a depressive period, it's killing me inside and this kind of content really helps me, even that most of my parents don't give a sh*t to me and just disturb my routine, I try my best to make it worth it, I am trying to organize myself and try new things, it would heal my depression and help my routine
*“You’ll watch an entire Netflix series even when the first episodes are slow just because someone told you that ‘it gets better’, but what if you looked at your goals like that and watched your life get better instead?”* Love from a small UA-camr💙
"Don't stop doing the things that got you out of a bad situation" gets me through every day. Got my life back on track after getting sloppy. Great video
To the first point, I'd recommend anyone reading this comment to check out The Strenuous Life, which is a book made up of a compilation of Theodore Roosevelt's speeches and essays. It's titled after one of his best where he goes into this point of not taking the easiest way, but decidedly choosing the difficult to grow.
Bro you might be the most helpful UA-camr i’ve ever watched. Keeping it simple but loaded with real shit! Keep it up bro, only good things in your future
There's nothing worse than when you're enjoying your favorite switch game and the loading screen turns black and for a moment you see your reflection in the glass.
This is the exactly the video i wanted my whole life... been feeling amazing since i start waking up 6am, and going for run early morning. I wanted to live like this many years. Based on my bad habit i was stuck there but now i feel FREEd myself.
I’m going to get “don’t stop doing the things that got you out of a bad situation” tattooed on my left forearm and “when we overcome resistance we absorb it’s power” tattooed on my right forearm
I like this channel because I genuinely belive this guy is doing his best to help improve thier lives. No 3 week course, no series of books to buy. Just his thought out and beautifully well presented ideas revolving around the video title.
I would add one more - healthy food. Things we eat have huge impact on our mind. So eating “dead” food (this also includes meat btw) makes you feel like trash. Just try not to eat dead food for at least 2-3 month and you’ll see guaranteed results.
My experience shows me time and time again that thoughts follow my physical and emotional state. I've never been able to think myself out of a bad day.
This is the best UA-cam video I have seen in awhile, and I watch a good amount of UA-cam videos. All of the content was really solid! Thank you for posting this!
I found your channel recently, at an extremely pivotal and determining personal development phase of my life where all your videos strongly resonate with me. You have been inspiring me to actually follow through with the changes I keep wanting to make in myself, but have been continuously postponing with actually implementing them. Thank you for the energy and mindset/life transforming information that you have been putting out to the world. Much respect and admiration. Cheers from Portugal!
What I like about this channel is that Joey will sometimes dispel the doubts you may have about a particular piece of advice. From my experience, sticking to certain habits is tough, since your brain will naturally come up with reasonable counterpoints to the habit, and without anyone to answer your counterpoints, you will slowly lose that steam you had back when you still kept up said habit.
I have been binge watching your videos and I absolutely love them! I'm currently in high school and I feel like I'm not accomplishing enough. Classes will start in a few days and I figured that watching videos like these will help me make my life a bit better. So thank you again!
Articulate, well made video, going straight to the point, relatable examples, great tips, no bullshit. That's all I needed today. Thanks mate. Keep it up.
Hey just wanted to say I appreciate you man. I am a student at UC Berkeley and it gets tough out here. Been dealing with personal growth and trying to get a grip on better habits. I genuinely like your videos because they portray what goes on in my head and you describe it with such clarity. Keep up the good work!
I'm really amazed, i'm scripting a video very similar to this one, you touched all the right points and you did an amazing work with the b-roll. I love this video

@Joseph Lakeway Try to set daily goals, and take weed as a reward. There are actually these kinds of lockboxes with an alarm that you can set. The box wont open until the given time. For example: we let it open up after 18:00 PM. that makes you productive until that time. You will trick your brain and stay calm, because you actually know that you will smoke that day.
I'm loving the gradually more bizarre facial expressions you're putting in every video. Truly Oscar-worthy.

Thus, the book is a really good study of human behavior. So you won’t just learn how YOU can start/break a habit, but how you can lead others into doing so as well. For example, if you manage a business and want things done a certain way bc you believe it will increase profits, you know how to structure and incentivize your business so that the workers do things the way you want, because you understand human behavior. It’s a great book for any coach, teacher, leader, or individual.The amount of ways you could apply the things you learn in the book are endless.
@@KoarngeSound Good points, thanks for adding that. It's been a couple years since I read it!
You and Captain Sinbad the best introspective videos. You both have helped me tremendously.
I fucking love the stuff you put out, man. I relate to it so much and it doesn't feel overly complicated or complex to comprehend and to eventually implement. Thank you
Holy shit your videos are so high quality and exciting for the user. Great scripting, meaningful words, perfect execution. Funny/good acting, SUPER relatable clips and situations. Very good practical points and advice. Fitting music and super professional editing.
1. When we overcome resistance, we absorb its power. The greater the resistance, the greater the power.
2. Don't stop doing the things that get you out of a bad situation.
3. Record your thoughts and feelings on a day-to-day basis. That way, it's easier to see our thoughts for what they are.
Your humor is so subtle its gold
One of the biggest changes I have made in my life, is not using self attack for improvement. Self love allows you to be more consistent and sustainable 🥰
Agreed bashing yourself only creates more problem.
But what does that actually mean? Can you give me some examples on what you changed?
@@mynameisjeff9124 just don't blame yourself too much for your current bad situation. Always try to have a positive outlook and try to identify your problems first. Then try to find solutions for them instead of thinking what I have done wrong in the past and regret too much. Because no body is perfect my friend.
Force yourself in doing focused work.
Spot on! This is such an important shift to make :)
@@mynameisjeff9124 I have to go to the gym and starve myself cause I'm fat / ate too much today -> I want to improve my physique so I'm going to the gym and it's fine if I ate too much, let's get back on track
The production value of this video is so dang good. I can tell you spent a ludicrous amount of time on it. Thanks for making the world a better place.
2:25 1st Rule to improve your life: ALWAYS intensely smell corn chip before eating
honestly all of his videos are pure art
#1 Follow the Path with more RESISTANCE
#2 DON'T STOP DOING THE THINGS WHICH HELP YOU GOT OUT FROM THE BAD SITUATIONS
#3 START RECORDING
.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR WORK AND THE EFFORT YOU PUT IN YOUR VIDEOS 👑❤
for rule #2, i think we should change our mind from escaping negative situations to archiving a really nice goal in our life, this idea do help me a lot
"You won't go to the gym that one time and explode into a meat mountain" This was too relatable and so damn funny😂
This will help me improve my life so much, a huge thanks for it, nowadays I've been living a depressive period, it's killing me inside and this kind of content really helps me, even that most of my parents don't give a sh*t to me and just disturb my routine, I try my best to make it worth it, I am trying to organize myself and try new things, it would heal my depression and help my routine

thank you for making this. most of us are going thru these things and it really helps to see others finding their own way out!
As soon as I opened UA-cam to watch some dumb videos you reminded me what I really should do
I like your channel. It’s like the one I’m thinking about making. I’m glad I found you.
*“You’ll watch an entire Netflix series even when the first episodes are slow just because someone told you that ‘it gets better’, but what if you looked at your goals like that and watched your life get better instead?”*
Love from a small UA-camr💙
"Don't stop doing the things that got you out of a bad situation" gets me through every day. Got my life back on track after getting sloppy. Great video
I practiced guitar for a 2,5 years every day for 5 hours+. Observe my progress!
It takes 10,000 hrs to master something
Wow, That’s wonderful !
@@selfhelpstuff 🙏✊
This is honestly the best video I've seen from you, cheers bro
*Joey it’s late. Go to bed 😂*
Your videos were indeed my transition from wanting to be better to actually being better!. Thank you.
3 rules for life: an antidote to ruining your life by Joey B Schweitzer
Underrated channel; real, funny, sarcastic and doesn't put it's profits at its forefront 👌
To the first point, I'd recommend anyone reading this comment to check out The Strenuous Life, which is a book made up of a compilation of Theodore Roosevelt's speeches and essays. It's titled after one of his best where he goes into this point of not taking the easiest way, but decidedly choosing the difficult to grow.
Bro you might be the most helpful UA-camr i’ve ever watched. Keeping it simple but loaded with real shit! Keep it up bro, only good things in your future
There's nothing worse than when you're enjoying your favorite switch game and the loading screen turns black and for a moment you see your reflection in the glass.
This is the exactly the video i wanted my whole life... been feeling amazing since i start waking up 6am, and going for run early morning. I wanted to live like this many years. Based on my bad habit i was stuck there but now i feel FREEd myself.
I’m going to get “don’t stop doing the things that got you out of a bad situation” tattooed on my left forearm and “when we overcome resistance we absorb it’s power” tattooed on my right forearm
Your channel actually improved my life, keep up the amazing work!
Hey baldie
I dislike the fact am watching this at 3 43am and am 2nd

I like this channel because I genuinely belive this guy is doing his best to help improve thier lives. No 3 week course, no series of books to buy. Just his thought out and beautifully well presented ideas revolving around the video title.
I would add one more - healthy food. Things we eat have huge impact on our mind. So eating “dead” food (this also includes meat btw) makes you feel like trash. Just try not to eat dead food for at least 2-3 month and you’ll see guaranteed results.
My experience shows me time and time again that thoughts follow my physical and emotional state. I've never been able to think myself out of a bad day.
Dude the cinematography and editing in this video is so good!
This is the best UA-cam video I have seen in awhile, and I watch a good amount of UA-cam videos. All of the content was really solid! Thank you for posting this!
Love that you're jumping right into the video, keeps the attention
Couldn't agree more. I feel like recording your thoughts on a regular basis is super helpful in so many ways!
Easily your best work. So on-point and so relatable.
I found your channel recently, at an extremely pivotal and determining personal development phase of my life where all your videos strongly resonate with me.
You have been inspiring me to actually follow through with the changes I keep wanting to make in myself, but have been continuously postponing with actually implementing them.
Thank you for the energy and mindset/life transforming information that you have been putting out to the world.
Much respect and admiration. Cheers from Portugal!
I love this channel so much! You make me feel empowered already and push me forwards when I want to go or am going down the slippery slope.
Loved how straightforward this video was. Thank you!
10/10, The video quality is insane, and its also very knowledge packed, and gave me very helpful advice.
What I like about this channel is that Joey will sometimes dispel the doubts you may have about a particular piece of advice. From my experience, sticking to certain habits is tough, since your brain will naturally come up with reasonable counterpoints to the habit, and without anyone to answer your counterpoints, you will slowly lose that steam you had back when you still kept up said habit.
I have been binge watching your videos and I absolutely love them! I'm currently in high school and I feel like I'm not accomplishing enough. Classes will start in a few days and I figured that watching videos like these will help me make my life a bit better. So thank you again!
I absolutely loved this video. Thank you.
❤️
Articulate, well made video,
going straight to the point,
relatable examples,
great tips,
no bullshit.
That's all I needed today.
Thanks mate. Keep it up.
Lovely cinematics and editing. Everything was on point, perfect.
Hey just wanted to say I appreciate you man. I am a student at UC Berkeley and it gets tough out here. Been dealing with personal growth and trying to get a grip on better habits. I genuinely like your videos because they portray what goes on in my head and you describe it with such clarity. Keep up the good work!
I'm really amazed, i'm scripting a video very similar to this one, you touched all the right points and you did an amazing work with the b-roll. I love this video
