I think the craziest thing about this video is the slow realization that "Billy" is talking to HIMSELF THE WHOLE TIME. He knows what has to be done, it's just these bad habits become really strong.

@@gddurden7871So reconsider, let me put it blunt, there is loads to be happy about, if you choose to only focus on the negatives you will only see that if I am being honest. Explore, Help people, Love and see things in the brightest light and watch things change for you.
very deep message at the end, where after the whole video, billy is still locked away on his VR headset. It draws the parallel to the viewers of this video, who will watch it and talk about how great the advice is and how empowering it is for their lives, but still end up falling to the same habits and doing nothing to change their lives.
And we say this, mocking our own selves and the bittersweet irony, yet fail to break out ourselves. It's pitiful to experience and watch this self-aware, unchanging madness unfold every day...
i think the focus on "games = compulsion = bad" is way too much in this video, like, he got back to some games after having a productive day, how's that gonna hurt him? the difference is, now he's not doing that 24/7 but integrating that into a productive lifestyle and things like that are healthy asf if you mantain the balance, we all gotta have fun sometimes, there's no need to completely cut off what you enjoy just because that's "healthy for you", that's like cutting yourself off the food completely to lose weight only then to compulsively overeat bc you're really hungry, that's not gonna be nice for you too
I like how it didn’t end with Billy just solving the problems, but going back at the headset, really emphasizes the fact that it’s really up to him to make the decision and that in the end someone telling you something won’t solve your problems.
Hey Joey. Maybe you will never read this, but this very video made me quit alcohol nine days ago and I'm still sticking to it after drinking every day for several months now. This one hit really hard and is a masterpiece. I loved it. Your work has a direct impact on peoples lifes, I think there is hardly a better compliment. Peace out!
well done. alcohol is a dangerous drug that is destroying us slowly from the inside. once the alcohol enters your brain through the bloodstream it's a dramatic catastrophe. Not many people see this and find the strength to say no forever. good job! one of the best decisions which you will never regret. standing above the whole shit that is alcohol.
@@railgungdthe fact that the narrator isn’t speaking to you directly, but rather speaking to you via an another person, where your brain thinks either: I can be like him or I can do better.
"Circling the lamp, like a good little moth, trying to drink the light. But your wings grow heavy as you flitter and flutter, alone, in the dead of night". This line almost gave me chills, is it a quote from someone or did you just make this up?
This is like how schools do it, they always tell you what you should do, instead of saying what you want to do is the same thing and they're only giving what you need to do to accomplish what you want to do
Fr. Recently my motivation was actually working, and I worked on like three animations I'm proud of, which is rare for me bc I'm usually art blocked. But motivation for doing what I HAVE to do, which is my enormous amount of homework, due on the first day of school, which is in 4 days? I barely did any of that. Including my art project, despite me animating my own things unrelated to it. Ugh
This video is like a wake-up call I didn’t know I needed. It’s crazy how our mindset can be the silent villain in our own story. Ready to turn the page and start a new chapter!
"Compulsion and genuine satisfaction" I can't believe how I've fallen into these traps and led myself to path of self-destruction by thinking that scrolling all the time, lazing around is what I wanted. But often at the end of the day, I felt so unhappy and that there was something missing but could never figure it out. After seeing this video, I recalled the times I worked hard, for example during finals, while keeping the phone away, I got good scores. It felt rewarding to see the scorecard. I regret so many things for I had let myself become this doom scrolling zombie but no more now. I want a real fulfilling life. I will identify these "compulsions" and stay far away from them. That's it.
06:59 desires vs compulsion: that moment was like deja vu. Like, the feeling, when you finally realise that you have wasted all of your time, and decide to tread forward wisely; but then you fall for your cravings again, and now you're back to square one.
you're not back at square one, now you have gained experience and wisdom and you can rise to even greater heights than before. You might come crashing down again and again, but never stop trying
I am Billy😢 I used to be the "golden child," the academic over achiever, I loved success and praise. Now I'm crippled by the thought of initiating many important tasks. I've made the distinction before between complusion and genuine satisfaction, but it often isnt top of mind. Thank you for this sobering reminder that my most authentic self actually wants to win, again❤
I relate to this very much! I’ve always been very academically inclined because it’s what I’m supposed to do. Being academically inclined has brought me great opportunities, don’t get me wrong, but it for sure didn’t allow me to discover more of myself. The fact that it’s easier for me to be doing homework all the time rather than actually doing activities that truly fulfill my creativity and passion is concerning. This is coming from someone who is studying graphic design and photography, so it’s expected for me to be naturally very creative, yet I struggle to come up with ideas for myself. My work has mostly been determined by what others expect of me, NOT what I actually want to experience. It’s quite sad, but I do want to make a change because I can’t keep on living without creativity and inspiration forever. Hope your journey to become the best version of yourself goes well! Take care!
@@gustaviyo take comfort my friend I was/ am in the exact same boat. However as time (and age) has passed I have struggled to find a balance. Treating my day job as the source of funding my creative pursuits. This small change in thinking was such a blessing and changed everything. Also, I’ve had to start small- as simple as taking a sketch pad everywhere and sneaking in time to sketch wherever I can. On the phone- doodling, at lunch a quick street scape, at home on the couch… I haven’t got the $$$ for all my resources/ or the space but (like you) I need to breath- making a start like this has given me hope, kept me focused and continually looking/ thinking of ways on how I can find more time, expand my resources and how I could have a studio space… I’m currently exploring expanding cupboards: they close up to look like a wardrobe but when you open them they fold out with a table, shelving and draws… God Bless, I hope this helps. :)
The ending reminds me of a thing a friend of mine (big procrastinator) always says: Sugar tastes good. No matter the shift, the understanding, it doesn't change the fact that having pleasure at the tip of your fingers whenever you want is a curse.
The message of this video is though that it isn't really pleasure, but a compulsion. That people / society / and later you tell yourself that this is pleasure, when it's not. Repeatedly doing the same over and over again is not pleasure, but a compulsion that overrides everything else and a *memory* of pleasure.
Now add addiction into the mix. I’ve unbrainwashed myself and know what the right thing to do is, but cannot escape. Everyday I fail again and again and because I have the clarity to understand what’s right and wrong, I have only the ability to sit back and watch myself destroy what’s left of my life.
Brilliant production, much appreciated. We are living in an age full of distractions and our brain has not evolved enough to handle them. Our brain is wired to pick the easy path that offers instant gratification and the creators of TikTok, video games, social media etc. knows this so they designed their products to trap us in their platforms then they'll get rich and you transform into their puppet. Realising this as fast as possible is the first step to recovery and these videos gives us clarity, so thank you!
This is such a mindf*ck. Logically, the only way Joey can create a video that so perfectly captures this trap of compulsion is if he also has experience with being trapped in this dark place himself. But then, I think to myself, he has the willpower and discipline to produce, shoot, edit the video, plus lead a balanced life in between (presumably)... how is this possible? He connects so accurately to people like me who are wasting away on their phones day in and day out, and the only way to do that would be if he was also going through that... but then this video comes out with a mindset shift/solution that shows he's also found the way out. Damn. Great video though.
this came out at a great time. i've fallen into habits like overeating, a lack of exercise, and more because it feels good to relax that way in the moment, but it's almost always worse afterward. i started going on walks again a couple weeks ago and it's helped a lot along with some other stuff. i definitely need to sit down and think about the things that i enjoy doing in the moment *and* can look back on with joy and satisfaction
10:18 LOL, didn't expect that! I literally started stretching after the video. It's a movie, with live characters, cool filming, pleasant narration, and a message in 10 minutes, not two hours. Bravo!
Billy running off when he first heard that he can do what he wants is just like me and others who read, watch, or hear something to get what we feel are the key points without actually consuming the entire message that makes those key points make sense. The problem with this is that we are actually so close to getting the full message at that point, and if we just spent a little more time really listening to the rest of the content, we could save so much more time in the future when trying to apply our incomplete advice to our lives. This raises an interesting question. The thing is that we do that in order to avoid wasting time going through the fluff in the message. In a perfect world, everything that everyone has ever said will be very important to everyone who hears it. Sadly, that is not the case. This also becomes more complicated when we realise that what one person may consider fluff (unimportant information) varies depending on their experiences and goals. Therefore, the question is *how do we get better at finding the complete information that we need quickly without having to go through all the fluff?* The question is important because we can't simply afford to just consume everything in existence. There's only so much time that we have to live, and it's draining away with every second regardless of your station in life.
The intro is Next level !!! The whole thing is phenomenal. This is very different from the previous videos. Need more like these "talking to myself" videos with a narrator to narrate the whole theme.
People have to know it takes years of experimentation and failed tactics to unbrainwash yourselves. But you won't jump directly from 0 to 10. It'll be gradual and that's why the journey will be good.
I'm glad I stumbled across this video, as it felt like exactly what I needed right now. One thing I already knew though is that the more struggle you go through to finish something (fulfilling) the better it will feel once it's done. Life is boring, mundane, and frankly pointless without struggle. In school, this looks like being presented with material that is way above what you know. If you take the right steps, you learn quicker and more effectively than if the material was easier. In work, if you're given a tight deadline on a project that's above your pay grade you will feel more accomplished once it's done than if the job was easy, because you had to fight to finish it. Weird how the brain works.
This. I'm about 4 years in now. Yesterday I broke down and ordered a ton of McDonald's after logging 35 miles running this week. Two steps forward, one step back.
That is something that I discovered myself a few years ago when I lost a ton of weight and stopped gaming so much. It was hot and sunny outside when I started asking myself "I obviously don't enjoy sitting at home alone, so what's stopping me from going outside swimming and enjoying the day with someone? " I start asking myself the same question whenever a similar situation arises, this mindset changed my life completely and I'm so much happier and healthier.
@@sh0bm0 Go to the store and buy a drink that you like. Then walk around the park and drink it. Say hi to anyone that you make eye contact with and smile. You'll feel like 45% better.
@@bert.hbuysse5569that's the thing, nothing was stopping me. I became content with the fact that nobody liked me and that I don't have the guts to go out and do what I actually want. Which was absolutely wrong. I stopped thinking about others and just go with the flow now. I'm not perfect, but damn life has so much more to it than what I was doing before (gaming, sleeping, working, youtube) Weird thing is, gaming is also much more fun now that I have more things going on.
@@sh0bm0 yeah that's a tough spot you're in. I know this issue, I was pretty much alone and also in home office, so didn't even meet people at work. Only thing you can do, is evaluating your position and identity options. Go on breakes with your colleagues, call your grandma more often, spend more time with your parents. Don't let opportunities pass where you could meet new people (for example a colleague wants you to participate in something) Do this regularly and eventually it will become a habit and people will feel more drawn to you.
04:38 This shot particularly is soo good holy shit. I could imagine it as a movie or album cover, I love how your videos aren't just goldmines for self improvement, but also a really good piece for art and cinema and photography.
Thank you man. What a piece of statement: "What you Should Do is, in reality, what you Want to Do". This helped me a lot to understand and remember why I'm changing my whole manner to live life.
This resonates so much and reminds me of when I first get into self help, consuming so much self help content: books/videos, thinking that I am improving and it can solve everything but in fact nothing has really changed. After a while, I lose interest towards those content and back to the slump. This goes to show that external things won’t take you so far unless it is intrinsically driven by our mindset and willingness to just do it. I’m still working on it everyday by taking real action and I wish everybody all the best with your journey.
It's not solely about the mindset. Understanding how our reward mechanisms can be hijacked by simple pleasure to avoid that trap is all well and good. But as you describe it leads nowhere when you can't, within a reasonable timeframe, achieve the kind of life our brains are designed for. Meaning, living as part of a community that you care for and that cares about you. Spending your working hours on something you feel makes sense. In general: finding a sense of purpose. Without that, it's always an uphill battle, that we sooner or later give up.
The mindset shift that had the biggest impact on my life was to understand that pleasure and happiness are NOT the same thing. Once I was able to disentangle them, it was easy to see how I was actually spending my time chasing pleasure not happiness.
This video is uploaded 5 hours ago and I swear that I saw it multiple times on my youtube homepage calling for me that I had the impression that days passed and I had to watch it. Glad I pressed play.
the thing is, when you get to what you really want, you don´t want to do crime, that is just what everybody is affraid of, so we keep each other in check with all these fears.. Drugs.. I don´t know, never went past weed in my teens, but I don´t need it.
this video just randomly popped up on my feed and i'm glad it did, it truly felt like i was watching a movie based on my day to day life and once I realized that what you should do is really what you end up wanting to do, it just gave me even more motivation to finally quit all of these bad habits that we sometimes develop without even noticing. It was really unsettling watching him keeping the same behavior, despite all of the advice he got, especially since it felt like it was me doing it. from this day on, I'll make my best effort in getting rid of this lifestyle and hopefully in the future I can give an update of how everything changed for the better.
@@lizard_leeaf definitely a bit better than it was before, already managed to do somethings that I was kinda procrastinating about, although obviously it hasn't passed that much time yet to notice a significant difference, but hopefully I'll keep it going and continue to improve each day. :)
I need the season 2. You talked deep and deep as humanly possible if we have ears to hear and hurts to feel😢 This happens every time to my internal dialogue.
People seek motivation from self help books. But for me nothing can be more inspirational than a good ficiton book. Like the one I read recently which is Voyagers of Hell. Highly recommendable.
Man, this is BY FAR the best explanation on this topic ive seen in my entire life, and its so easy to digest, understand and actually get people to change. You did it amazinly man, congratulations and thank you for this piece of art.
This is incredible. The script, how it's portrayed, how you act, the way you show all this, omg. ALL your content is a movie, i expect you to make a larger one by next year and i want to enjoy it at my local cinema, cheers from Argentina Joey
7:22 This is a lot like the feeling you get after having all this great internal conversation with God but then do the opposite of what you know he wants you to do… then you’re just sitting there… feeling alone.
@@1_Devs yah but that’s why feelings aren’t facts. The feeling alone is a construct of your shame. God didn’t leave the room. You just went into a corner and closed your ears and eyes
@joshuab1046 Amen to that, that was a very good answer, because it’s the truth. We are never abandoned by God, we just ignore him. And we wonder why we can’t hear him sometimes…
It doesn't take long for a pleasurable thing to become a habit. Once it does, it's helpful to practice awareness. Meditation is something that has really helped me, it clears my mind, gives razor sharp focus, gives me a taste of transcendental bliss, and afterwards I am hyper aware of every thought and feeling I experience. Don't resist the urge to indulge in a habit, for example, doom scrolling youtube shorts. Instead, notice the desire to do it, and whilst you're doing it, reflect on the experience. Think to yourself, "am I enjoying this?". Usually when I'm indulging in the internet I'm not even enjoying doing it, I'm simply doing it out of habit, and as a form of escapism. When you're watching video after video, scrolling through meme after meme, it doesn't take long to go into a "zombie state" where you're just kinda not even thinking or conscious but rather just staring at the screen, the entire experience of your being being on whatever you're focusing on. Then, when you actively reflect on what your doing, and realise that you actually AREN'T enjoying it, you won't want to do it anymore. Though I'm not much better to be honest. When I'm exhausted I easily indulge in the internet and video games and eating rubbish and not exercising, meditating, working, reading, socialising, enjoying life... Good luck, hope this strategy helps.
most inspirational video I have ever seen, I have read books like "atomic habits" and "dopamine", I grabbed their ideas but never really want to put it into my life, thank you for your video, it really brings my desire of making self-improvement up
this is so well made and it really speaks to me. love the style of the narration, very funny but brings the point across. I feel enlightened and had a good laugh, thx.
I love the quality of this short movie and also the story telling, it really feels refreshing to see such a video because I can notice how much effort there was put into it
This video goes so hard, I love it. Thanks for helping yet another person pull themselves out of a burnout rut. I have always been that ambitious person so I hope I'll get back there soon. With love 😊
6:01 is so funny but so relatable at the same time, great video sir, and thank you for creating such a masterpiece so that others can receive such wisdom. Whoever is reading this you will make it and I'll be there working alongside you even though I'm not there physically. ❤
“We know Billy, you are very strong and cool” lmfao. I actually laughed out loud. This entire production is top-tier. This is high, high quality content. Thank you for this message and all the effort you put into it, and making it funny!
This draws a lot of parallels with the executive dysfunction of ADHD. Altered hedonic drive leads to inaction, focus on short term gain and temporal discounting. People with adhd can improve! But they need to find the sweet spot between accepting what they really can't change, and striving to improve what they can change. This video made me feel bad about myself - responsible for my symptoms caused by neurological malformation. I do worry what others with my condition would think if they saw this while trying to make healthy change
Yer when I found out that ADHD is BS and just so docs can give u horrible pills that harm your body and say that something is wrong with u. If u stop listening to there BS and fix anger problems and attention problems u will get all your confidence back and start excepting yourself for who u are not some stupid label they put on u to make money off u❤
Yeah I really feel you man, a big thing which I learned for myself is to let go of the thought that I can teach myself things and change things in my life if I just stay strong and disciplined. Unfortunately that's just not how our brain works. Whenever I start learning something that interests me or grab up a new hobby, I do it with the knowledge that it'll probably loose interest in a few weeks. This way I don't pressure myself and am much less depressed when the moment comes where I stop caring about it. I know that after sometime, if it is really something that I like to do, my interest will come back and I will start the hobby again but with a much greater basic knowledge of the topic. Changing our habits and self is a very slow and tedious process with ADHD and we should be forgiving if we just take more time :)
Thank you. You really made this relatable. Sometimes knowledge doesn't turn to wisdom, this however will change many lives. Discourses on procrastination won't achieve what this can
Just suffer. Suffer improves you. You literally suffered to eat solid food, crawl, walk and speak. You suffered through it all. Now choose what to suffer through.
Your videos have always been really well done, but after not watching them for awhile and coming back to see this… man. Your cinematography has seriously improved so much! I loved the lighting, composition, and of course the storytelling was top tier. Well done and thank you for the time you put into these !
This video changed my whole perspective on life and the things I have done, am doing, and will do in the future. Thank you. This changes everything. I will not let you down.
Man, I was living the life until I got long covid 8 months ago. Productivity fueled me, never used my phone, social media, always learning new skills, meeting new people, and only entertained myself in fulfilling ways. Let me tell you, that sort of life is the happiest you will ever be. I would trade all of my material possessions so I can be healthy again, but at least now I've recovered enough to walk for 20 minutes.
sorry to hear that…good luck. i`m the same with the lc, but 4.5 years. in the end ive mostly managed to change my expectations and find a few things that can still give me satisfaction
@@stariadreamtea Something that still sticks with me: "Grand dad, what do you when you can't do nothing, but there's nothing you can do?" "You do what you can." It's not easy to be in your position, and it may be only possible for you to do one thing at a time. The point is to keep trying with the tools you have. You do what you can, even if it's only one thing.
for me, it was life and depression which got me. i used to be so productive and was even praised for being "amazing" and such, "how do you do it?" I was frequently asked. until some people i thought were friends came along and abused me until i broke, and my normally experienced depression finished me off, since i couldn't maintain my original coping mechanisms which helped me with my depression before them. i now struggle to do what was so easy for me in the past and i feel worse for it, because I'm still "capable" right? i SHOULD be able to do this! but I can't, I'm tired and i hurt all the time. my body is slowly degrading away and it's making everything else worse... i have to remind myself, that I can't be anywhere near the person i was, until i work on who i am now, until i respect who i am now... and treat her with the kindness she needs to heal. my condition isn't chronic, so i know I'll get out of it, eventually. i hope, you can find whatever helps you through what you're going through. i know it won't be as easy for you as it will be for me, but I'm positive you can feel optimistic about your future.
What a f*cking cinematographer have you become! Props to the whole team, if someone told me I would watch such UA-cam videos 10 years ago, I would’ve never believed them.

@@railgungdthe fact that the narrator isn’t speaking to you directly, but rather speaking to you via an another person, where your brain thinks either: I can be like him or I can do better.

This is what mental health videos should look like online. Much more realistic, motivating, trueful and honest.
This is like how schools do it, they always tell you what you should do, instead of saying what you want to do is the same thing and they're only giving what you need to do to accomplish what you want to do
Art major:
Fr. Recently my motivation was actually working, and I worked on like three animations I'm proud of, which is rare for me bc I'm usually art blocked. But motivation for doing what I HAVE to do, which is my enormous amount of homework, due on the first day of school, which is in 4 days? I barely did any of that. Including my art project, despite me animating my own things unrelated to it. Ugh
I've got a week still.
What you want to do for yourself and what society says you should do are not the same thing. You're bullshitting yourself to impress other people.
This video is like a wake-up call I didn’t know I needed.

"Compulsion and genuine satisfaction"
I can't believe how I've fallen into these traps and led myself to path of self-destruction by thinking that scrolling all the time, lazing around is what I wanted. But often at the end of the day, I felt so unhappy and that there was something missing but could never figure it out.
After seeing this video, I recalled the times I worked hard, for example during finals, while keeping the phone away, I got good scores. It felt rewarding to see the scorecard.
I regret so many things for I had let myself become this doom scrolling zombie but no more now.
I want a real fulfilling life. I will identify these "compulsions" and stay far away from them. That's it.

I am Billy😢 I used to be the "golden child," the academic over achiever, I loved success and praise. Now I'm crippled by the thought of initiating many important tasks. I've made the distinction before between complusion and genuine satisfaction, but it often isnt top of mind. Thank you for this sobering reminder that my most authentic self actually wants to win, again❤
Praise is dangerous. They was a psychology study on this exact topic
I totally understand- I’m in the same position. The struggle is real; fight the good fight and keep pressing forward. God Bless.
@@baconheadhair6938It's not dangerous. People won't be able to do anything without it.
I relate to this very much! I’ve always been very academically inclined because it’s what I’m supposed to do. Being academically inclined has brought me great opportunities, don’t get me wrong, but it for sure didn’t allow me to discover more of myself. The fact that it’s easier for me to be doing homework all the time rather than actually doing activities that truly fulfill my creativity and passion is concerning. This is coming from someone who is studying graphic design and photography, so it’s expected for me to be naturally very creative, yet I struggle to come up with ideas for myself. My work has mostly been determined by what others expect of me, NOT what I actually want to experience. It’s quite sad, but I do want to make a change because I can’t keep on living without creativity and inspiration forever. Hope your journey to become the best version of yourself goes well! Take care!
@@gustaviyo take comfort my friend I was/ am in the exact same boat. However as time (and age) has passed I have struggled to find a balance. Treating my day job as the source of funding my creative pursuits. This small change in thinking was such a blessing and changed everything. Also, I’ve had to start small- as simple as taking a sketch pad everywhere and sneaking in time to sketch wherever I can. On the phone- doodling, at lunch a quick street scape, at home on the couch… I haven’t got the $$$ for all my resources/ or the space but (like you) I need to breath- making a start like this has given me hope, kept me focused and continually looking/ thinking of ways on how I can find more time, expand my resources and how I could have a studio space… I’m currently exploring expanding cupboards: they close up to look like a wardrobe but when you open them they fold out with a table, shelving and draws… God Bless, I hope this helps. :)
The ending reminds me of a thing a friend of mine (big procrastinator) always says: Sugar tastes good. No matter the shift, the understanding, it doesn't change the fact that having pleasure at the tip of your fingers whenever you want is a curse.
"having pleasure at the tip of your fingers whenever you want is a curse" wise words 💯
healthy food when done right also tastes good, so it is just the work of marketing to brainwash you like he said in the video
As tough as it is, I just don’t keep it in the house anymore. No options = no temptations
it's like quitting smoking, but you also have a pack of cigs in your pocket
The message of this video is though that it isn't really pleasure, but a compulsion. That people / society / and later you tell yourself that this is pleasure, when it's not. Repeatedly doing the same over and over again is not pleasure, but a compulsion that overrides everything else and a *memory* of pleasure.
Now add addiction into the mix. I’ve unbrainwashed myself and know what the right thing to do is, but cannot escape. Everyday I fail again and again and because I have the clarity to understand what’s right and wrong, I have only the ability to sit back and watch myself destroy what’s left of my life.
This is exactly how I feel. Your comment is the first I could relate to. I need help man

The self is defined by the struggle, and i found the pain quite humbling
Brilliant production, much appreciated. We are living in an age full of distractions and our brain has not evolved enough to handle them. Our brain is wired to pick the easy path that offers instant gratification and the creators of TikTok, video games, social media etc. knows this so they designed their products to trap us in their platforms then they'll get rich and you transform into their puppet. Realising this as fast as possible is the first step to recovery and these videos gives us clarity, so thank you!
This is such a mindf*ck. Logically, the only way Joey can create a video that so perfectly captures this trap of compulsion is if he also has experience with being trapped in this dark place himself. But then, I think to myself, he has the willpower and discipline to produce, shoot, edit the video, plus lead a balanced life in between (presumably)... how is this possible?
He connects so accurately to people like me who are wasting away on their phones day in and day out, and the only way to do that would be if he was also going through that... but then this video comes out with a mindset shift/solution that shows he's also found the way out.
Damn. Great video though.
Many if not all of my videos are notes to self :)
If you find your why. You can bear anything
'You brilliant bastard' LMAO, loved it.
I love the "old film" look in this video very much.
this came out at a great time. i've fallen into habits like overeating, a lack of exercise, and more because it feels good to relax that way in the moment, but it's almost always worse afterward. i started going on walks again a couple weeks ago and it's helped a lot along with some other stuff. i definitely need to sit down and think about the things that i enjoy doing in the moment *and* can look back on with joy and satisfaction
Good man keep up the good work

Billie isn't
My god, this was so well made and thought out. Bloody well done. Loved it. Definitely a UA-cam gem!
10:18 LOL, didn't expect that!
I literally started stretching after the video. It's a movie, with live characters, cool filming, pleasant narration, and a message in 10 minutes, not two hours. Bravo!
Billy running off when he first heard that he can do what he wants is just like me and others who read, watch, or hear something to get what we feel are the key points without actually consuming the entire message that makes those key points make sense.
The problem with this is that we are actually so close to getting the full message at that point, and if we just spent a little more time really listening to the rest of the content, we could save so much more time in the future when trying to apply our incomplete advice to our lives.
This raises an interesting question.
The thing is that we do that in order to avoid wasting time going through the fluff in the message. In a perfect world, everything that everyone has ever said will be very important to everyone who hears it. Sadly, that is not the case. This also becomes more complicated when we realise that what one person may consider fluff (unimportant information) varies depending on their experiences and goals. Therefore, the question is *how do we get better at finding the complete information that we need quickly without having to go through all the fluff?*
The question is important because we can't simply afford to just consume everything in existence. There's only so much time that we have to live, and it's draining away with every second regardless of your station in life.

The intro is Next level !!! The whole thing is phenomenal. This is very different from the previous videos. Need more like these "talking to myself" videos with a narrator to narrate the whole theme.
People have to know it takes years of experimentation and failed tactics to unbrainwash yourselves. But you won't jump directly from 0 to 10. It'll be gradual and that's why the journey will be good.
True x
Thanks for that.
I'm glad I stumbled across this video, as it felt like exactly what I needed right now. One thing I already knew though is that the more struggle you go through to finish something (fulfilling) the better it will feel once it's done. Life is boring, mundane, and frankly pointless without struggle.
In school, this looks like being presented with material that is way above what you know. If you take the right steps, you learn quicker and more effectively than if the material was easier.
In work, if you're given a tight deadline on a project that's above your pay grade you will feel more accomplished once it's done than if the job was easy, because you had to fight to finish it.
Weird how the brain works.

The most pleasurable video I have found in a while about mindset. Thankyou!! Great format.
Absolutely incredible video
That is something that I discovered myself a few years ago when I lost a ton of weight and stopped gaming so much.
It was hot and sunny outside when I started asking myself "I obviously don't enjoy sitting at home alone, so what's stopping me from going outside swimming and enjoying the day with someone? "
I start asking myself the same question whenever a similar situation arises, this mindset changed my life completely and I'm so much happier and healthier.
"with someone", what do i do if im so isolated
What was the answer, if I may ask? (what was stopping you?) or was it a rhetorical statment?
@@sh0bm0 Go to the store and buy a drink that you like. Then walk around the park and drink it. Say hi to anyone that you make eye contact with and smile. You'll feel like 45% better.
@@bert.hbuysse5569that's the thing, nothing was stopping me.
I became content with the fact that nobody liked me and that I don't have the guts to go out and do what I actually want. Which was absolutely wrong.
I stopped thinking about others and just go with the flow now.
I'm not perfect, but damn life has so much more to it than what I was doing before (gaming, sleeping, working, youtube)
Weird thing is, gaming is also much more fun now that I have more things going on.
@@sh0bm0 yeah that's a tough spot you're in.
I know this issue, I was pretty much alone and also in home office, so didn't even meet people at work.
Only thing you can do, is evaluating your position and identity options.
Go on breakes with your colleagues, call your grandma more often, spend more time with your parents. Don't let opportunities pass where you could meet new people (for example a colleague wants you to participate in something)
Do this regularly and eventually it will become a habit and people will feel more drawn to you.
04:38 This shot particularly is soo good holy shit. I could imagine it as a movie or album cover, I love how your videos aren't just goldmines for self improvement, but also a really good piece for art and cinema and photography.
is it? i dont get it
Thank you man. What a piece of statement: "What you Should Do is, in reality, what you Want to Do". This helped me a lot to understand and remember why I'm changing my whole manner to live life.
This resonates so much and reminds me of when I first get into self help, consuming so much self help content: books/videos, thinking that I am improving and it can solve everything but in fact nothing has really changed. After a while, I lose interest towards those content and back to the slump. This goes to show that external things won’t take you so far unless it is intrinsically driven by our mindset and willingness to just do it. I’m still working on it everyday by taking real action and I wish everybody all the best with your journey.
this is it ❤
It's not solely about the mindset. Understanding how our reward mechanisms can be hijacked by simple pleasure to avoid that trap is all well and good. But as you describe it leads nowhere when you can't, within a reasonable timeframe, achieve the kind of life our brains are designed for. Meaning, living as part of a community that you care for and that cares about you. Spending your working hours on something you feel makes sense. In general: finding a sense of purpose. Without that, it's always an uphill battle, that we sooner or later give up.
I'm sorry, but author of the video said ut's not about willpower, and now, you say here that is about willingness...
The mindset shift that had the biggest impact on my life was to understand that pleasure and happiness are NOT the same thing.
Once I was able to disentangle them, it was easy to see how I was actually spending my time chasing pleasure not happiness.
Short term vs long term
Totally! I feel like the video was trying to teach us that success is taking pleasure in the things that bring us happiness
Well they're similar. And why is happiness more important than pleasure?

6:16 "I CAN DO ANYTHING!" (starts doing drugs and committing crime)
Jevil moment
the thing is, when you get to what you really want, you don´t want to do crime, that is just what everybody is affraid of, so we keep each other in check with all these fears.. Drugs.. I don´t know, never went past weed in my teens, but I don´t need it.
fantastic film. always loved the 50s style narration and this was executed beautifully
this video just randomly popped up on my feed and i'm glad it did, it truly felt like i was watching a movie based on my day to day life and once I realized that what you should do is really what you end up wanting to do, it just gave me even more motivation to finally quit all of these bad habits that we sometimes develop without even noticing. It was really unsettling watching him keeping the same behavior, despite all of the advice he got, especially since it felt like it was me doing it.
from this day on, I'll make my best effort in getting rid of this lifestyle and hopefully in the future I can give an update of how everything changed for the better.
how is it so far?
@@lizard_leeaf definitely a bit better than it was before, already managed to do somethings that I was kinda procrastinating about, although obviously it hasn't passed that much time yet to notice a significant difference, but hopefully I'll keep it going and continue to improve each day. :)

People seek motivation from self help books. But for me nothing can be more inspirational than a good ficiton book. Like the one I read recently which is Voyagers of Hell. Highly recommendable.
I'm in the wheel of time right now and when I'm not listening, I'm like, damn, my life is shite.

7:22 This is a lot like the feeling you get after having all this great internal conversation with God but then do the opposite of what you know he wants you to do… then you’re just sitting there… feeling alone.
The irony of having a convo with God then feeling alone is hilarious
@@1_Devs yah but that’s why feelings aren’t facts. The feeling alone is a construct of your shame. God didn’t leave the room. You just went into a corner and closed your ears and eyes

@joshuab1046
Amen to that, that was a very good answer, because it’s the truth. We are never abandoned by God, we just ignore him. And we wonder why we can’t hear him sometimes…
It doesn't take long for a pleasurable thing to become a habit. Once it does, it's helpful to practice awareness. Meditation is something that has really helped me, it clears my mind, gives razor sharp focus, gives me a taste of transcendental bliss, and afterwards I am hyper aware of every thought and feeling I experience. Don't resist the urge to indulge in a habit, for example, doom scrolling youtube shorts. Instead, notice the desire to do it, and whilst you're doing it, reflect on the experience. Think to yourself, "am I enjoying this?". Usually when I'm indulging in the internet I'm not even enjoying doing it, I'm simply doing it out of habit, and as a form of escapism. When you're watching video after video, scrolling through meme after meme, it doesn't take long to go into a "zombie state" where you're just kinda not even thinking or conscious but rather just staring at the screen, the entire experience of your being being on whatever you're focusing on. Then, when you actively reflect on what your doing, and realise that you actually AREN'T enjoying it, you won't want to do it anymore. Though I'm not much better to be honest. When I'm exhausted I easily indulge in the internet and video games and eating rubbish and not exercising, meditating, working, reading, socialising, enjoying life...
Good luck, hope this strategy helps.

This draws a lot of parallels with the executive dysfunction of ADHD. Altered hedonic drive leads to inaction, focus on short term gain and temporal discounting. People with adhd can improve! But they need to find the sweet spot between accepting what they really can't change, and striving to improve what they can change. This video made me feel bad about myself - responsible for my symptoms caused by neurological malformation. I do worry what others with my condition would think if they saw this while trying to make healthy change
Yer when I found out that ADHD is BS and just so docs can give u horrible pills that harm your body and say that something is wrong with u. If u stop listening to there BS and fix anger problems and attention problems u will get all your confidence back and start excepting yourself for who u are not some stupid label they put on u to make money off u❤
Yeah I really feel you man, a big thing which I learned for myself is to let go of the thought that I can teach myself things and change things in my life if I just stay strong and disciplined. Unfortunately that's just not how our brain works. Whenever I start learning something that interests me or grab up a new hobby, I do it with the knowledge that it'll probably loose interest in a few weeks. This way I don't pressure myself and am much less depressed when the moment comes where I stop caring about it. I know that after sometime, if it is really something that I like to do, my interest will come back and I will start the hobby again but with a much greater basic knowledge of the topic. Changing our habits and self is a very slow and tedious process with ADHD and we should be forgiving if we just take more time :)

This was awesome man!
First
Man, I was living the life until I got long covid 8 months ago. Productivity fueled me, never used my phone, social media, always learning new skills, meeting new people, and only entertained myself in fulfilling ways. Let me tell you, that sort of life is the happiest you will ever be. I would trade all of my material possessions so I can be healthy again, but at least now I've recovered enough to walk for 20 minutes.
You understand. That's my problem with chronic illness. How do we achieve this without health? I haven't left my house for a month.
sorry to hear that…good luck. i`m the same with the lc, but 4.5 years. in the end ive mostly managed to change my expectations and find a few things that can still give me satisfaction
@@stariadreamtea Something that still sticks with me:
"Grand dad, what do you when you can't do nothing, but there's nothing you can do?"
"You do what you can."
It's not easy to be in your position, and it may be only possible for you to do one thing at a time. The point is to keep trying with the tools you have. You do what you can, even if it's only one thing.
for me, it was life and depression which got me. i used to be so productive and was even praised for being "amazing" and such, "how do you do it?" I was frequently asked. until some people i thought were friends came along and abused me until i broke, and my normally experienced depression finished me off, since i couldn't maintain my original coping mechanisms which helped me with my depression before them.
i now struggle to do what was so easy for me in the past and i feel worse for it, because I'm still "capable" right? i SHOULD be able to do this! but I can't, I'm tired and i hurt all the time. my body is slowly degrading away and it's making everything else worse...
i have to remind myself, that I can't be anywhere near the person i was, until i work on who i am now, until i respect who i am now... and treat her with the kindness she needs to heal.
my condition isn't chronic, so i know I'll get out of it, eventually. i hope, you can find whatever helps you through what you're going through. i know it won't be as easy for you as it will be for me, but I'm positive you can feel optimistic about your future.
