  • It’s easy to make a habit stick even if you’re lazy like me, all you need is a couple of good simple rules and systems that you can rely on. Basically I’ve made all my habits automatic or dependant on being held accountable if I fail so that I succeed at my goals. So whether you’re looking to improve your health, relationships, or work life, these tips may help help you in the same way they did me.
    Also here's a link to Matt D'Avella's 2 Day Rule Video: • The Two Day Rule

    The admission to being a messy person honestly completely surprised me so the system clearly works

    The two day rule actually goes along with efficient training. You need rest days (1-2/week) but there's no point in having two in a row. Even on rest weeks (0,5-1/month) you should be doing something light almost every day. Training every single day doesn't let you recover, but not training often enough also prevents progress.
    This is mostly about strength training but the rules are similar to other stuff as well.

    I might need to steal these methods, the built in flexibility seems like the missing bit to anything else I've tried.
    And Barbosa's "more like guidelines" is pretty much my life motto, so ya. I'm sold.

    Going to try this out myself, I'm terrible for trying to start new habits and falling off quickly. Think the 3 day method will suit me. Just need to track my days next!
    As always Joe an enjoyable video!

    Honestly the only thing that got me into an exercise habit was accountability. I was extremely fit as a teenager, then basically didn't move and at like shit for the last decade. Tried a couple times to get into the gym but never got more than 2 weeks. As you say, skipping a session more than once killed the habit.
    Only reason I do it now is because I have someone else going with me. Both of us said at one session that we'd have skipped it if the other wasn't going to be there, so clearly it's working well. Just coming up on 2 months straight, 3 days a week, never skipping it and it's finally feeling like going to the gym is what I do on those afternoons, rather than something out of my normal routine or something noteworthy. Still wary of skipping it, it's not a firm habit yet, but having someone else has worked so far.

    Love your videos Joe!
    The most useful things I have absorbed for building good habits are:
    1. START SLOW! I cannot stress this enough! You are not going to wake up early tomorrow and be the best version of yourself if you really put your mind to it. Waking up a little earlier is an achievable task though, you could do that. Maybe next week you could take that same energy and read a little more or whatever else you want to improve.
    2. Be kind to yourself when you screw up. It's important to remember that when you fail and return to building a habit you are not starting from 0. Your knowledge and skills are still there, it may take some time to get them back to the level you were before but I promise you will get back up MUCH quicker than how you did in the past.
    3. Be optimistic. Studies have shown that there are quite clear benefits to being optimistic. Therefore it is probably better to slightly lean to the delusional optimist rather than the realistic pessimist side in your personal life. I mean whatever you are worried about may go badly but it COULD go well. Why worry about things when you probably have no control over them. Having a faint smile when walking around helps aswell. It's been shown to increase the "happy chemicals' " levels in your brain. When you are happier then you smile more, it's a positive feedback loop for your mood.
    Also please work out. It has been clearly linked to reduced levels of anxiety, depression and an increase in overall mood. Also looking at your body composition change slowly (but quicker than you think) is one of the most satisfying things in life. It may have a negative effect of feeling the compulsion to flex every time you look at yourself in the mirror though!

    I need to make my habits stick badly. Like i maintain exercise for a bit but when i miss one day then its easier to skip another day and another day. And that has killed me everytime I was doing exercise. That combined with the fact that I HATE exercise in general.

    • @JoeHickson
      @JoeHickson  Рік тому

      I used to be that same tbh.
      I also used to hate exercise, took me to long I hate exercise around other people hah

    I'm thinking about trying this out. I've been struggling to stick with a schedule of working out for a while now. I think I like the idea of starting at 4 or 5 days a week and slowly going down to 2 days. Ease into it, in a way.
    I love how your apartment (that you've shown) looks! It's very tidy and clean looking! (even if it's not :P) Thanks for sharing the tips! You're awesome!
