Well, it is the start of a new year. With Blue Monday coming up, a dose of realism and nuance goes a long way. What can I say, on purpose or not, it is right on time ;)
When its 3 AM in germany and you got university lectures tomorrow but youtube reminds you that you are in Matts notification squad. 8 minutes it is. Luckily I'm a minimalist in terms of sleep.
tl;dw: Habits that Matt has built and recommends: 1. Exercise every day 2. Eat more veggies 3. Read every day 4. Drink more water 5. Stop buying new stuff 6. Meditate 7. Build a morning/night time routine 8. Work on a passion project 9. Declutter 10. Journal 11. Wake up early 12. Quit social media
Yusuf Zaid yes anyone can change their life, but it will take more than being inspired - you need discipline and a plan! You need faith and commitment!
Well that's the cycle at first you will get trick to going back to your old habits but you have to keep fighting till eventually.. listen to David goggins audio book.. he's the god of failing, failing, succeeding failing, succeeding, succeeding succeeding
1-i don't drink any kind of caffeine. 2-i have a cold shower once a week at least. 3-i do workout 3 to 4 times a week. 4-as i mentioned didn't drink caffeine, i drink water enough 2 to 3 lt and drink fruit juice twice a day. 5-i read everyday, i put a list monthly of books i want to read. 6-i do improve my English skills, i guess i am not very good yet at English, so this is something I'm working on. 7-i sleep 7 to 8 hours, from 9 pm to 5 am. 8-i can't quite all apps of social media, i need one at least to communicate with my friends to be aware of what lectures they have taken at school.. i deactivated FB and keep WhatsApp. finally i would like to thank you of your amazing videos that you share with us ❤️❤️❤️ your videos remind me to never give up of my way of my life style even it takes a long time to be used to it)) if you don't mind please to recommend us some books u have read and they're the best in your point of view thanks in advance! ❤️
Hi, great habits you built here ! Just wanted to let you know, I used to love drinking fruit juice several times a day, but apparently they're too concentrated in sugar, so the recommended amount would only be 1 glass a day. Though you can eat more plain fruits ! Good luck on improving your English you're doing great x
I am 14 and in love with this stuff. The cinematography is amazing, i respect the art. I love minimalism and it's something i know i will be dedicated to for the rest of my life (even though my parents don't understand its not a "trend") Keep it up i am sure your going to kill it. PS. Trends are stupid
@@karinowens7750 it is completely up to you, if you feel like you want to go extreme and find your food in alternative ways, you can do that. But I think most people don't include groceries in this challenge. There's no "right" way to do this, it's up to you to decide what you won't buy.
@@karinowens7750 Simple answer, no. You need to eat obviously. But I would say a healthy habit to pick up would be to be more mindful about the foods you do buy. Like buying less snack foods or packaged beverages and only buying healthy foods for meals.
Great video, Matt! My wife & I started doing 30 day challenges back in 2017 as a fun way to improve both our lives and our relationship. Some of our monthly challenges included: paleo/Whole30, no TV, no alcohol, saying 3 things we are grateful for each day, reading out loud together every day, spending at least 10 minutes outside every day, etc. I highly recommend 30 day challenges to anyone who wants to learn self-discipline. Plus, that first real donut after 30 days of paleo is absolutely orgasmic.
@@klutz3955 We're not strict about all the habits after the 30 days, but we are now more mindful and aware after the challenges which helps us move toward better habits. For example, we still eat sugar but we do it sparingly after giving it up for 30 days. We still drink alcohol but we are intentional about how much & how frequently we consume it. We read more. We try to exercise more. So yes the challenges do end up being a habit, just not as strict as it was during the 30 days.
@@aslye oh man that's awesome! I was gonna tell you what I was gonna do buuuuut there's this research that says if you tell people goals you're less likely to achieve them................. So... Thanks a lot!
my habit started 2 years ago. I was 210lbs in 7th grade and extremely depressed. 2 years ago January 21st i said i want to make change. I didn’t know what change was, but i knew i wanted it. I started by cutting out all junk food, then i started walking 8,000 steps a day. I lost the weight but i wasn’t happy, i still had self image issues and i fell into anorexia. I was 120lbs, 20lbs under the normal. I kept on loosing weight and then i looked at myself in the mirror and saw my rib cage and once again i saw that i needed change. I started by adding a little bit of food. I got to a point where i was finally in a healthy area but i was still unconfident. And once again i strived for change. I then pushed my self to do some sort of exercise. I have been doing that for the past 9 months now and I am finally confident in my body. It’s been hell these past 2 years but they have been the best 2 years in my life. Showing myself that i can achieve anything if i wanted to make that change. And anyone can. You just need to be committed to this change. And like Matt said it’s hard, it’s really hard. But just do small intervals and build up from there. I promise you you will have a sense of achievements do fulfillment like no other. I’m going to stop where i am, and I hope all of you have an amazing day❤️
Hey! I just wanted to tell you that that was such an awesome thing to read! Keep the good work up! Also, I'd love to have the determination like you have to do what I really want with my life! Go! You can do it! I support you! :)
Great insights from someone so young :) I'm happy for you. I'm in my late 20s and still struggling with that sense of agency and self-discipline in my life.
1. Exercise every day 2. Cooking every day 3. Art every day 4. Eat healthy every day 5. Read every day 6. Drink enough water every day 7. Meditate over day 8. Journal every day 9. Languages every day 10. Quit social media 11. Sleep 9 hours every day 12. Study a non-school related topic every day
I've picked up daily journaling to create more structure and awareness in my mind and thinking. I become so much more aware of things keeping my mind occupied. It also gets easier to focus on other goals and to decide if something is worth pursuing. I absolute encourage everyone who feels overwhelmed or lost to do the same. Thanks you Matt for your great content!
I love that you said "Quit social media" on Jan 23, 2018, I deleted my Instagram for good. Prior to that, I had deleted (Not deacviated) facebook, snapchat, kik, and marco polo. As of Jan 23, 2019, I will be one-year social media. My life has honestly changed in ways that I can not describe. As of now, I think that the most useless thing that I have in my daily carry is my phone...I think that (And I am not kidding) a flip phone is in my future. We'll see.
Yep ur not the only one. The only thing I do is surf UA-cam watching vids but other than that I don't do facebook (I'll only use the messenger person), Snapchat, Instagram cuz I don't need so many apps/social media to distract and suck up all my time. I intentionally pick out what I find enjoyable and worth my time. If I catch myself doing my negative behavior of comparison like I did on Instagram or from my Facebook feed I get off of it but that's why I don't go on those specific apps anymore lol. The key is intentionality ;)
My progress(?) hahaha. - exercise everyday ( woah not daily but I do minimum 4x a week if I'm not sick) ✔️ eat more veggies ✔️ read everyday ( well actually not everyday, I read 1 book a month. Not self help books though) ✔️ drink lots of water ✔️ stop buying stuff - meditate (walking up. Used headspace) - morning/ night routine (this seems hard haha) - passion project (I'll definitely try this) ✔️de clutter (kinda started with wardrobe, then some of the cabinets but still needs work) - journal - wake up early ( it's hard waking up early when you have an irregular work sched and night shifts) ✔️ quit social media *ill update this if I can find this once I've built up a new habit that is on this list.
Nice! For the record I don't exercise everyday. I have in the past when building up the habit so that's just a suggestion for getting started. I usually take 1 or 2 days off a week.
Ky, I have also stopped buying stuff and decluttering for the 100th time. It's so freeing to know I'm not going to fill that space back up. I doing the One Year No Spend Challenge. So far, it's been a complete relief. I also gave up potato chips...that lasted until Jan 8th. Who knew that would be harder than not shopping? Great list and I'm going to add reading in am & pm and drinking lots of water.
Matt D'Avella not as fit as you though haha i mean no where near. Still have a lot of baby fats i just cant seem to get rid of them in my belly section hahaha.
just made a list of 7 things to do for the rest of the year (already started my first thrity day challenge a month ago) 1. digital minimalsim 2. cold showers 3. exercising daily 4. quit all added sugars 5. digital minimalism (again so hopefully i get to focus more on school that month) 6. waking up at 6 am 7. meditating daily i tried to start with something easyier (i just finished digital minimalism but after that) and tried to build it up to things more difficult so i stay motivated trough out the process. wish me luck!
I didn't use any form of Social media in November and I did drinking 2L of water challenge in December. This January I am doing no dwelling on negative thoughts challenge :)
Hi, can you share 'how no dwelling on negative thoughts' challenge? Because for some reason in life I had to avoiding myself priority for almost 12 years... and because of that I'm fall into depression, built up with bad habits and lost myself/confidence to live....
Hey! The challenge is that when a negative thought arises, you say to yourself that in the next 90 seconds I will dwell and try to eliminate the negative thought in 90 seconds only. And after that 90 seconds you should NOT even care about the negative thought! By doing this often you will develop resistance to negative thoughts :) Please be free to ask any questions :) @@flaxenRdn
I developed a habbit of ironing a shirt every morning before work and really try put myself into while I am doing this. I wear only black shirts so I don't have to choose which one which is also cool. This really helps me to be more mindfull in morning and feels like I have a moment for myself. Just after girl leaves and before I leave I have this quiet morning me-only time when I play some morning jazz radio from UA-cam and say to myself - just chill it's - gonna be a great day - finish my tea and ready to face the day. And by the way I used to hate ironing, it's all programing your mind you know
@@focaalexandr7536 then just stop drinking, try different teas, I recommend caffeinated teas if you need caffeine , if not then try root-teas, they look like coffee actually but are teas/hot-water-drinks that use roots of bushes and plants. highly recommended for digestive system and weight loss. just dont drink if you have asthma or vein problems. otherwise, that is the best thing to substitute coffee with - Chicory. Cichorium intybus. you are welcome!
im feeling really depressed in my current life situation and i think starting a reasonable,realistic routine could be the way to get me doing more and avoiding procrastination. i subbed like a month ago and i've rly enjoyed ur content. i haven't rly gotten a grip of myself so i haven't started changing my life in any way but now i'm goin to take small steps. 30 min of light excercise once a day and 5minute cold shower every morning. Thank u so much for putting this kind of content out there, i think ur videos are giving motivation to people who are in a same kind of situation as me. i really admire ur work!
@@calebharris4127 lol thanks for asking! I feel way better already and i sleep much better. Both have become a habit but not a routine, i don't force myself to excersise if i don't feel like it(i have bad allergy in springtime, almost impossible to be outside). Overall it was worth it, now i feel like i have the energy to get out of my bed in the morning.
i was dealing with really bad depression as well and making the routine of going for a long walk (10km) every morning in nature and a second one in the evening really pulled me out of my whole!!! (used to get up at 7pm, took a bath for hours and cried at night) so these walks basicially were saving me in the beginning😅
My 12 habits I plan on doing starting tomorrow 1. Quit social media 2. Quit caffeine and sugar 3. Wake up early 4. Cold showers 5. Cook meals 6. Workout 7. Stop buying stuff 8. Study a topic 9. Create art or something 10. Write down in journal feelings thoughts etc. 11. Be in the moment be myself 12. Read Bible before bed
@Marvin Hernandez Yea but this is good, finally a conversation without feelings on yt comments. As far as i know, are there really any good evidence for a existing god? Because i believe in science and i need proofs to believe in something :>
Channel has been amazing! Started hitting the gym again, getting into reading, and eliminating all the extra distractions. My life feels much more satisfying as I progress through each day. I would recommend to all viewers who haven't to read 'The Miracle Morning,' as it is a great way to start your morning and feel productive from the time you wake up until your work day begins! Everyone deserves a happy and healthy life, why shouldn't we also deserve to be productive and learn while we do so? To all I wish the best of luck!
The self-help dance sequence was the most relatable thing I’ve seen in my whole life, and I feel personally attacked. (Brilliant video as always! Can’t wait to see the 30 day challenges you have in store!)
One year ago, I watched the first *helpful* video on UA-cam, it was yours. And I was thinking *like everyone else* to be a better person for myself and have a better life.. and I can say now that I did, you’re the first reason why I changed, I started being active, healthy, minimalist and organized person! Everything you say seems very important for me and I will always be grateful for you.
I love the way that you give advice, and completely dismiss the idea of inspiration, and completely overhauling your life. It’s near impossible. You have shown me that a step by step process is how you lead to concrete change in your daily life. And most of all, I appreciate that this advice is not coming from a mega successful entrepreneur that is 110% efficient, and instead from someone who was introduced to self improvement, of which i can really empathise more with your experiences.
I gave up all my healthy habits after 1 week and honestly, I feel really happy. Not happy that I quit it, but I just feel happier because I feel like I’m being myself and I feel more comfortable and human. I still take cold showers everyday though because that started helping my skin really fast so I definitely suggest that. I don’t live super unhealthy or anything I’m just comfortable how I am.
I understand how u feel ..but it's actually good to work on improving yourself from time to time .. start by doing one habit..Only one habit at a time or maybe two.. When you feel like u got used to it ..you can start doing other habits .. Because doing them all at once .. You'll stop doing them all at once , too. Have a great day !
I don't mind the corniness of self help content. It serves as a hope to me when another person tells me there are simple things and changes in life that can help me. The hope is everything.
Think of a habit you want to create, and write it down. Next, think of your cue. Now, think of your reward. Finally, remember to make sure the reward is something you’ll be able to crave or anticipate as you create this new habit.
"Inspiration does not correlate to change. Being inspired and motivated doesn't mean you'll actually gonna change your life." I LOVE THIS MAN. Subscribed!!!!
The combination of humor with serious motivational topics is everything. It makes me laugh, it inspirits me; its such an pleasure to watch. Thank you for this!
My goal by the end of the year: implement all 12 changes into my life slowly for the next year. FYI cold showers are AMAZING!! ive been doing them for the past month and a half and its an amazing goal for everybody!
@@raelindashoates975 Some benefits that i have noticed are MUCH better focus, more self determination as it takes a lot of balls to wake up every morning jump into a freezing cold shower, but the second you step out you feel amazing and warm which is kinda weird. There are many health benefits as well as u can see by watching videos or looking at studies. honestly try taking one for 30 sec just being in the cold water, ur gonna breathe super fast which is ok as it wakes me up but then step out and you will know what i mean. Just Trust Me...
I picked up waking up early last year, and it is a game changer. I find I am over-all more pleasant because I give time, to give myself time. I usually use the early hours to drink coffee in silence, light a candle, and read/journal/pray etc. 10/10
Can you talk more about how early wake up changed your game? Also, how can you keep waking up early without skipping days? Do you get to work late at night?
@@AdrianDanielGuard Totally. For me, I work a full-time 9-5, and spend a lot of personal time volunteering with my local church. I choose to wake up at 5a each day so I have some time to myself. Typically that looks like making coffee, grabbing a blanket, and journaling, reading, or play video games. The motivator for me to wake up early is so I have time to do what I want, before I go out and give the better part of my day to my employer, wife, church, and friends. At first I started working out in the mornings, but was much less stressed throughout the day if I just spent the time in quiet, zoning out. (so I workout after work I do not skip a day M-F. I sleep-in till about 8 or 9 at the latest on weekends. Some great books on in the importance of slowing down life are out there too. I recommend The Little Book of Hyyge. It changed my life.
The decluttering one means you will get rid of 465 things. I dont even own that many things By day 30 ill be getting rid of my bed, oxygen supply and food
Thank god right now my company rents a temporary apartment for me, and there's a lot of owners stuff I don't care about and just be glad to throw away. Hopefully company covers expenses for that as well.
that's so communist. I.. started dropping things because of compelling desire (obssesion) of tidiness and cleaness if these words ever existed. Also, you spend less time of your life mantaining what you barely use.
You are one of my favorite UA-camrs. I think it is because you enjoy to push yourself and that is something i strive to do. Thank you Matt D'Avella! You're great!

The most influential audio series i have EVER listened to is “The psychology of Achievement”n by Brian Tracy. Got me through some pretty rough times in my life!
hey Matt, i know this is a really late comment and maybe you will not even read this but, as i started watching your videos about a month ago about how to be a minimalist, it really opened my eyes because well i lived for years in junk, hoarding stuff that wasn't essential for my life, well i started with throwing away the things i dont need and to my surprise i already felt a spark of a new beginning in my life, so i really wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart personally with this comment and for all the people that read my comment right now, this man will change your life in every aspect, thinking about only that what is essential for your life, when i started to throw out stuff i didnt need, i began to change in character for the better of course, you will enjoy life in a much better way, you will feel relaxed, thinking about stuff that benefits your life, keeping everything to a minimal, i want to thank you Matt because your videos helped me alot, so i can become a better person not only for myself but for others too. i thank you from the bottom of my heart, i hope you're having a great day and i wish that everyone has a great life greetings kenneth
Cold showers are the best, I'm probably one of the few people I know who would happily exchange a warm shower for a cold one. In my opinion as a specialist, baths should be for those longs sessions of pampering, with warm water with all those fancy things to massage, soothe and such, while showering should be quick, efficient and refreshingly cold, to get you going through the day and then when back home, quickly ready to sleep at night. Few things are better than taking a freezing shower, putting on your most comfortable pjs, then cuddling under some warm blankets... oh, and this waking up early + morning routine thing would CHANGE MY LIFE if I actually got to stick with those habits... Why is it so hard!!! I need more tips (just realized it's 3am rn, that's probably why it's hard to wake up at 5 :v)
Hahaha yeah that might be your problem. You might need to start with a night time routine. After being in Sydney over New Years I can confirm it's very hard to shift your schedule & wake up early. I've been snoozing in the mornings for an hour from 6 to 7am. Eventually I'll work my way to 6am but I'm like a zombie when the alarm rings.
@@kathleen6288 Warm showers are great if you're feeling tense or sore, but cold showers actually pump up your immune system (even preventing colds), make you more energetic, speed up your metabolism, and much more. Where I live we have both really hot and really cold days, and I actually found easier to take the cold showers during colder days, specially in the beginning, because you feel less of a temperature shock!! Hope I helped :)
I have mixed feelings about cold showers. I took cold showers every day for about 20 days a couple years ago. I noticed my skin and hair was much smoother and more hydrated, which was good, and I also felt warmer than I normally would, like I had a little glow from within going on. But as a woman, I question whether it's the best idea to take cold showers before/during menstruation. When I was younger I wouldn't pay attention enough and would forget to keep warm in the days before my period. If I had to be stuck in a cold classroom or cold weather before my period, BAM. First day or two of my period would be living hell--cramps so bad I couldn't move, fainting, vomiting, so much pain I literally could not even bear to sit up in bed to take a painkiller. I would get up to go to the bathroom and then just lay there on the floor until I gathered the energy to crawl back to my bed. Now I make sure to wrap up, wear thick socks, carry a jacket and all that as preventative measures. So I'm wondering, would cold showers be a threat to my ovaries or nah? 😂
in the end, no matter “how much” there is on UA-cam, we get back to Matt when “its serious” . ❤️ I love your videos Matt and I keep on getting back to them
Matt, your every single video is so meaningful that I am eager to watch all of them properly one by one from the scratch, yet I’m still just saving them on list. 😭
My habits that made me come.out if depression,anxitety and negetive thoughts are..:1) listening to self help books,2) stop listening to negetive news,3)a half an hr walk in the evening,4) ignoring negetive talks and gossips,5) practising journaling and gratitude 6) mindfulness,7)self motivation,8) saving more money,9) accepting a situation than complaining and condemning or judging..!😍😍❤️❤️❤️😍😍also all this was possible dur to the kind of quality books that I read over a period of time..and trust me a good book can definitely change life 🤗🤗🤗all the way from India.
@@TheKajol95 the list' goes like this..1)think and grow rich;2)the secret;3)spark Joy;4)who will cry when u die,5)the magic (second part of the secret),6) psychcocybernetics,7)the dynamic laws of prosperity,8)the Little Prince (a book for children but also for the adults...to see life in a different perspective..I recommend this strongly),.9)monk who sold his ferarri........🌸☃️🤸💃🌸😹🌬️🌬️😍🌸😍🌸❤️❤️❤️
@@MaddDxD His self-help methods are all rehashings of things other people have already said (see Steve Pavlina for example - who's also been advocating and experimenting with 30-day habit trials for over 10 years)... But mainly, he has been proven to be a really sexist individual, and that comes through in his views around gender - he hides it behind pseudointellectual language and his qualifications or is excused for it because of his self-help tips (which aren't really _his_). He has suggested women want to be sexually harassed and that they're 'asking for it', especially in the work place if they're wearing makeup, among other comments. There are so many other people that one can take self-reflexion and growth from. Jordan Peterson isn't one worth that much time...
I'm starting my exercise routine every morning and thinking about going to the gym soon. Got myself a planner and a calendar to keep track of what im supposed to being on certain dates. Really helped out a lot. I have terrible memory 😂

I'm sitting at my desk trying to change everything about my life in a day and then your notification pops up. Coincidence?
I THINK NOT!!

Well, it is the start of a new year. With Blue Monday coming up, a dose of realism and nuance goes a long way. What can I say, on purpose or not, it is right on time ;)
Is it just me or is the way he organizes everything very satisfying to look at?
he organizes smoothly yet entertaining
A little too satisfying.... I can't stop watching haha. He is a master video editor afterall
Pie Kay a little too satisfying..i can’t stop watching, hahahaha! he is a master video editor, after all.
Oh yeah!!
He’s cute too. A pleasure to watch. #ManCrush
Monetize these videos! It's quality content and not everyone can afford to pay $12, but anyone can afford to watch an ad for 10 seconds
Exactly what i thought
He just did a video about monetising his videos a few days ago
He started monetizing his videos a couple weeks ago.
UA-cam pays you for views too
You don't really earn that much from ads but I get your point
When its 3 AM in germany and you got university lectures tomorrow but youtube reminds you that you are in Matts notification squad. 8 minutes it is. Luckily I'm a minimalist in terms of sleep.

Yusuf Zaid yes anyone can change their life, but it will take more than being inspired - you need discipline and a plan! You need faith and commitment!
Wow
Well that's the cycle at first you will get trick to going back to your old habits but you have to keep fighting till eventually.. listen to David goggins audio book.. he's the god of failing, failing, succeeding failing, succeeding, succeeding succeeding
consistency is the key
1-i don't drink any kind of caffeine.
2-i have a cold shower once a week at least.
3-i do workout 3 to 4 times a week.
4-as i mentioned didn't drink caffeine, i drink water enough 2 to 3 lt and drink fruit juice twice a day.
5-i read everyday, i put a list monthly of books i want to read.
6-i do improve my English skills, i guess i am not very good yet at English, so this is something I'm working on.
7-i sleep 7 to 8 hours, from 9 pm to 5 am.
8-i can't quite all apps of social media, i need one at least to communicate with my friends to be aware of what lectures they have taken at school.. i deactivated FB and keep WhatsApp.
finally i would like to thank you of your amazing videos that you share with us ❤️❤️❤️
your videos remind me to never give up of my way of my life style even it takes a long time to be used to it))
if you don't mind please to recommend us some books u have read and they're the best in your point of view thanks in advance! ❤️
Hello, what kind of books do you want to read?
hey, can u tell me the way you improve your english skills? Bcs this is sucks for me for the past few years
@@buyungupick2598 One of the best ways is to read as it expands you vocabulary
Your Grammar is really good so far.
Hi, great habits you built here ! Just wanted to let you know, I used to love drinking fruit juice several times a day, but apparently they're too concentrated in sugar, so the recommended amount would only be 1 glass a day. Though you can eat more plain fruits ! Good luck on improving your English you're doing great x
Hey Matt, just here to tell you that you’ve changed my life. I’m 15, and working to become better everyday and live more simply.
Thanks for watching!! You're ahead of the game!
All the best, kid 👍
I am 14 and in love with this stuff. The cinematography is amazing, i respect the art. I love minimalism and it's something i know i will be dedicated to for the rest of my life (even though my parents don't understand its not a "trend") Keep it up i am sure your going to kill it.
PS. Trends are stupid
You got this man! Wish you best luck !
15? You are too young to be bothered with this stuff. Go be young!
Currently halfway through “not buying new stuff” and feeling the difference
style apotheca I need this smh.
@@Jasiel.95 you can do it!
Just curious, but does this include groceries? Dumb question but I’m curious. Thanks.
@@karinowens7750 it is completely up to you, if you feel like you want to go extreme and find your food in alternative ways, you can do that. But I think most people don't include groceries in this challenge. There's no "right" way to do this, it's up to you to decide what you won't buy.
@@karinowens7750 Simple answer, no. You need to eat obviously. But I would say a healthy habit to pick up would be to be more mindful about the foods you do buy. Like buying less snack foods or packaged beverages and only buying healthy foods for meals.
I think i should stop watching youtube for 30 days
Jesse Brown , its a good idea bro
That's the plan
But terribly adictive
That would be quite a challenge for me 🥴
Plz do the needful on priority
Great video, Matt! My wife & I started doing 30 day challenges back in 2017 as a fun way to improve both our lives and our relationship. Some of our monthly challenges included: paleo/Whole30, no TV, no alcohol, saying 3 things we are grateful for each day, reading out loud together every day, spending at least 10 minutes outside every day, etc. I highly recommend 30 day challenges to anyone who wants to learn self-discipline. Plus, that first real donut after 30 days of paleo is absolutely orgasmic.
I love your profile pic lol 😂
@@foforin112 Ha thanks, I look dumb in it so it fits me perfectly!
Hey Andy, do you keep those habits after 30 days or what?
Thanks in advance
@@klutz3955 We're not strict about all the habits after the 30 days, but we are now more mindful and aware after the challenges which helps us move toward better habits. For example, we still eat sugar but we do it sparingly after giving it up for 30 days. We still drink alcohol but we are intentional about how much & how frequently we consume it. We read more. We try to exercise more. So yes the challenges do end up being a habit, just not as strict as it was during the 30 days.
@@aslye oh man that's awesome!
I was gonna tell you what I was gonna do buuuuut there's this research that says if you tell people goals you're less likely to achieve them.................

I used to hate running but I started two months ago and now I also signed up for the upcoming marathon
you're sick!!
Amazing!
jakja83 it’s in october😊
@@michelle_melone you have a chance to take more baby steps to improve to win it. You've got it this!!!
Well I subscribed to your channel and I’m expecting you document your progress and preparation.
Wow I'd be out running in the rain all the time if I knew I'd get a drive-by compliment from Matt!
my habit started 2 years ago. I was 210lbs in 7th grade and extremely depressed. 2 years ago January 21st i said i want to make change. I didn’t know what change was, but i knew i wanted it. I started by cutting out all junk food, then i started walking 8,000 steps a day. I lost the weight but i wasn’t happy, i still had self image issues and i fell into anorexia. I was 120lbs, 20lbs under the normal. I kept on loosing weight and then i looked at myself in the mirror and saw my rib cage and once again i saw that i needed change. I started by adding a little bit of food. I got to a point where i was finally in a healthy area but i was still unconfident. And once again i strived for change. I then pushed my self to do some sort of exercise. I have been doing that for the past 9 months now and I am finally confident in my body. It’s been hell these past 2 years but they have been the best 2 years in my life. Showing myself that i can achieve anything if i wanted to make that change. And anyone can. You just need to be committed to this change. And like Matt said it’s hard, it’s really hard. But just do small intervals and build up from there. I promise you you will have a sense of achievements do fulfillment like no other. I’m going to stop where i am, and I hope all of you have an amazing day❤️
Hey! I just wanted to tell you that that was such an awesome thing to read! Keep the good work up! Also, I'd love to have the determination like you have to do what I really want with my life! Go! You can do it! I support you! :)
Great insights from someone so young :) I'm happy for you.
I'm in my late 20s and still struggling with that sense of agency and self-discipline in my life.
agreeing with evija3000 here. I am in my 20s and being in a complicated relationship with myself. Good luck, i loved reading your comment, cxmo!!
Fabian Van Der Elst thank you so much!!!
Evija3000 it’s hard but i 100% believe that you can do this
1. Exercise every day
2. Cooking every day
3. Art every day
4. Eat healthy every day
5. Read every day
6. Drink enough water every day
7. Meditate over day
8. Journal every day
9. Languages every day
10. Quit social media
11. Sleep 9 hours every day
12. Study a non-school related topic every day
Fat S - once you have done most of these habits (assuming you work) it will be impossible to get 9 hours of sleep.
Sorry Fay (yikes)
Heather W well it’s one for each month 😂 but yeahh
lol quit social media.. not every day 😂
KushNinja8D i meant for the month haha 😂
I took cold showers , went to the gym, drank water and made my bed every day for 2months straight.
It was called basic training
Same, and holy shit I forgot I once even did that and now I feel amazing about it.
Drink Water!
Hydrate or DIE!
At least that’s what we use to say
Iona Loughran awesome but not so sure about the gyming everyday as your body needs to rest and recover
Was it tough trying to do that all at once?
@@melvincardenas8881 wasnt exactly my choice, you rested when you slept
I think I'm addicted to your videos and podcasts, and I don't want to quit this addiction.
I've picked up daily journaling to create more structure and awareness in my mind and thinking. I become so much more aware of things keeping my mind occupied. It also gets easier to focus on other goals and to decide if something is worth pursuing.
I absolute encourage everyone who feels overwhelmed or lost to do the same.
Thanks you Matt for your great content!
Man! I can't stop watching your videos. One of the few UA-camrs who make a very interesting and helpful content. Thank you
I love that you said "Quit social media" on Jan 23, 2018, I deleted my Instagram for good. Prior to that, I had deleted (Not deacviated) facebook, snapchat, kik, and marco polo. As of Jan 23, 2019, I will be one-year social media. My life has honestly changed in ways that I can not describe. As of now, I think that the most useless thing that I have in my daily carry is my phone...I think that (And I am not kidding) a flip phone is in my future. We'll see.
Cool! I wish i can do like you
Yep ur not the only one. The only thing I do is surf UA-cam watching vids but other than that I don't do facebook (I'll only use the messenger person), Snapchat, Instagram cuz I don't need so many apps/social media to distract and suck up all my time. I intentionally pick out what I find enjoyable and worth my time. If I catch myself doing my negative behavior of comparison like I did on Instagram or from my Facebook feed I get off of it but that's why I don't go on those specific apps anymore lol. The key is intentionality ;)
Flip phones are DOPE AS F!

Good habits will help you live a happier and healthier life by setting up a good foundation
the guy jogging at the beginning was definitely casey neistat
Lolz..could be!
"You got this dude"
Everyone liked that.
Yup !
My progress(?) hahaha.
- exercise everyday ( woah not daily but I do minimum 4x a week if I'm not sick)
✔️ eat more veggies
✔️ read everyday ( well actually not everyday, I read 1 book a month. Not self help books though)
✔️ drink lots of water
✔️ stop buying stuff
- meditate (walking up. Used headspace)
- morning/ night routine (this seems hard haha)
- passion project (I'll definitely try this)
✔️de clutter (kinda started with wardrobe, then some of the cabinets but still needs work)
- journal
- wake up early ( it's hard waking up early when you have an irregular work sched and night shifts)
✔️ quit social media
*ill update this if I can find this once I've built up a new habit that is on this list.
Nice! For the record I don't exercise everyday. I have in the past when building up the habit so that's just a suggestion for getting started. I usually take 1 or 2 days off a week.
Ky,
I have also stopped buying stuff and decluttering for the 100th time. It's so freeing to know I'm not going to fill that space back up. I doing the One Year No Spend Challenge. So far, it's been a complete relief. I also gave up potato chips...that lasted until Jan 8th. Who knew that would be harder than not shopping?
Great list and I'm going to add reading in am & pm and drinking lots of water.
Matt D'Avella not as fit as you though haha i mean no where near. Still have a lot of baby fats i just cant seem to get rid of them in my belly section hahaha.

just made a list of 7 things to do for the rest of the year (already started my first thrity day challenge a month ago)
1. digital minimalsim
2. cold showers
3. exercising daily
4. quit all added sugars
5. digital minimalism (again so hopefully i get to focus more on school that month)
6. waking up at 6 am
7. meditating daily
i tried to start with something easyier (i just finished digital minimalism but after that) and tried to build it up to things more difficult so i stay motivated trough out the process.
wish me luck!
I didn't use any form of Social media in November and I did drinking 2L of water challenge in December. This January I am doing no dwelling on negative thoughts challenge :)
Love the negative thoughts challenge!
That's awesome!@@mattdavella
Hi, can you share 'how no dwelling on negative thoughts' challenge? Because for some reason in life I had to avoiding myself priority for almost 12 years... and because of that I'm fall into depression, built up with bad habits and lost myself/confidence to live....
Hey! The challenge is that when a negative thought arises, you say to yourself that in the next 90 seconds I will dwell and try to eliminate the negative thought in 90 seconds only. And after that 90 seconds you should NOT even care about the negative thought! By doing this often you will develop resistance to negative thoughts :) Please be free to ask any questions :) @@flaxenRdn
@@bnsgokugreat How do you eliminate negative thoughts? Meditation really helps a lot
I developed a habbit of ironing a shirt every morning before work and really try put myself into while I am doing this. I wear only black shirts so I don't have to choose which one which is also cool. This really helps me to be more mindfull in morning and feels like I have a moment for myself. Just after girl leaves and before I leave I have this quiet morning me-only time when I play some morning jazz radio from UA-cam and say to myself - just chill it's - gonna be a great day - finish my tea and ready to face the day.
And by the way I used to hate ironing, it's all programing your mind you know
What is ironing?

Quitting coffee... I don't drink coffee. Done!
you missed a lot
@@imicca idk, I drank a lot of coffee in the past, but now I don't want coffee
@@focaalexandr7536 then just stop drinking, try different teas, I recommend caffeinated teas if you need caffeine , if not then try root-teas, they look like coffee actually but are teas/hot-water-drinks that use roots of bushes and plants. highly recommended for digestive system and weight loss. just dont drink if you have asthma or vein problems.
otherwise, that is the best thing to substitute coffee with - Chicory. Cichorium intybus.
you are welcome!
tnx bro, yeah i dont need caffeine,
@@focaalexandr7536 Chicory then would help :)
im feeling really depressed in my current life situation and i think starting a reasonable,realistic routine could be the way to get me doing more and avoiding procrastination. i subbed like a month ago and i've rly enjoyed ur content. i haven't rly gotten a grip of myself so i haven't started changing my life in any way but now i'm goin to take small steps. 30 min of light excercise once a day and 5minute cold shower every morning.
Thank u so much for putting this kind of content out there, i think ur videos are giving motivation to people who are in a same kind of situation as me. i really admire ur work!
it has been a week, how has it been going?
@@calebharris4127 lol thanks for asking! I feel way better already and i sleep much better. Both have become a habit but not a routine, i don't force myself to excersise if i don't feel like it(i have bad allergy in springtime, almost impossible to be outside). Overall it was worth it, now i feel like i have the energy to get out of my bed in the morning.
@Sarfkinuono It has been 3 months, how’s it going ? :D
i was dealing with really bad depression as well and making the routine of going for a long walk (10km) every morning in nature and a second one in the evening really pulled me out of my whole!!! (used to get up at 7pm, took a bath for hours and cried at night)
so these walks basicially were saving me in the beginning😅
My 12 habits I plan on doing starting tomorrow
1. Quit social media
2. Quit caffeine and sugar
3. Wake up early
4. Cold showers
5. Cook meals
6. Workout
7. Stop buying stuff
8. Study a topic
9. Create art or something
10. Write down in journal feelings thoughts etc.
11. Be in the moment be myself
12. Read Bible before bed
Wow love it
Jesus Is Lord what about UA-cam?
All of those habits were nice except the 12 which is pointless >:D
@Marvin Hernandez I dont believe in a god, so 12 is pointless in my opinion :>
@Marvin Hernandez Yea but this is good, finally a conversation without feelings on yt comments.
As far as i know, are there really any good evidence for a existing god? Because i believe in science and i need proofs to believe in something :>

Bruh Boiii same Banjo Kazooie
Channel has been amazing! Started hitting the gym again, getting into reading, and eliminating all the extra distractions. My life feels much more satisfying as I progress through each day. I would recommend to all viewers who haven't to read 'The Miracle Morning,' as it is a great way to start your morning and feel productive from the time you wake up until your work day begins! Everyone deserves a happy and healthy life, why shouldn't we also deserve to be productive and learn while we do so? To all I wish the best of luck!
The self-help dance sequence was the most relatable thing I’ve seen in my whole life, and I feel personally attacked. (Brilliant video as always! Can’t wait to see the 30 day challenges you have in store!)
One quote that stuck with me from one of your podcasts.. "make it so easy, it's embarrassing, ei: working out"
Make a video dedicated to your favorite books and books that you would recommend reading 🙂
Dark Project Yes, please! Got my 50 books in a year challenge going on. So far so good - 3/50🙌🏽

@@erhanevin Nice!
Since I read 3 books over the entirety of the last year, I'm going for just 24. Still, it's a considerable step up.

One year ago, I watched the first *helpful* video on UA-cam, it was yours.
And I was thinking *like everyone else* to be a better person for myself and have a better life.. and I can say now that I did, you’re the first reason why I changed, I started being active, healthy, minimalist and organized person! Everything you say seems very important for me and I will always be grateful for you.
13. Concentrate on the road while driving. No talking and no looking at the camera.. especially when its drizzling... ;)
Haha.. true
@Trinder3467 you can have tea in a coffee mug

I love the way that you give advice, and completely dismiss the idea of inspiration, and completely overhauling your life. It’s near impossible. You have shown me that a step by step process is how you lead to concrete change in your daily life. And most of all, I appreciate that this advice is not coming from a mega successful entrepreneur that is 110% efficient, and instead from someone who was introduced to self improvement, of which i can really empathise more with your experiences.
Do a review of Marie Kondo's netflix series!
That's a dope idea!
Since decluttering is such a big part of your lifestyle, I thought it might be interesting to hear your thoughts about it!
@@mattdavella please do!
I would love to see that 👌
💛 that show!
I gave up all my healthy habits after 1 week and honestly, I feel really happy. Not happy that I quit it, but I just feel happier because I feel like I’m being myself and I feel more comfortable and human. I still take cold showers everyday though because that started helping my skin really fast so I definitely suggest that. I don’t live super unhealthy or anything I’m just comfortable how I am.
I understand how u feel ..but it's actually good to work on improving yourself from time to time .. start by doing one habit..Only one habit at a time or maybe two.. When you feel like u got used to it ..you can start doing other habits .. Because doing them all at once .. You'll stop doing them all at once , too. Have a great day !
Only guy I watch every single video of
Thanks Crab.
I don't mind the corniness of self help content. It serves as a hope to me when another person tells me there are simple things and changes in life that can help me. The hope is everything.
Think of a habit you want to create, and write it down.
Next, think of your cue.
Now, think of your reward.
Finally, remember to make sure the reward is something you’ll be able to crave or anticipate as you create this new habit.
i didnt get about cue
"Inspiration does not correlate to change. Being inspired and motivated doesn't mean you'll actually gonna change your life."

My goal by the end of the year: implement all 12 changes into my life slowly for the next year. FYI cold showers are AMAZING!! ive been doing them for the past month and a half and its an amazing goal for everybody!
What are the benefits of taking a cold shower as oppose to a hot one?
@@raelindashoates975 Some benefits that i have noticed are MUCH better focus, more self determination as it takes a lot of balls to wake up every morning jump into a freezing cold shower, but the second you step out you feel amazing and warm which is kinda weird. There are many health benefits as well as u can see by watching videos or looking at studies. honestly try taking one for 30 sec just being in the cold water, ur gonna breathe super fast which is ok as it wakes me up but then step out and you will know what i mean. Just Trust Me...
@@raelindashoates975 its also supposed to be better for ur skin and not dry u out as much
Hmm lol I might give it a try, thanks for replying😊
I picked up waking up early last year, and it is a game changer. I find I am over-all more pleasant because I give time, to give myself time. I usually use the early hours to drink coffee in silence, light a candle, and read/journal/pray etc. 10/10
Can you talk more about how early wake up changed your game? Also, how can you keep waking up early without skipping days? Do you get to work late at night?
@@AdrianDanielGuard Totally. For me, I work a full-time 9-5, and spend a lot of personal time volunteering with my local church. I choose to wake up at 5a each day so I have some time to myself. Typically that looks like making coffee, grabbing a blanket, and journaling, reading, or play video games. The motivator for me to wake up early is so I have time to do what I want, before I go out and give the better part of my day to my employer, wife, church, and friends.
At first I started working out in the mornings, but was much less stressed throughout the day if I just spent the time in quiet, zoning out. (so I workout after work I do not skip a day M-F. I sleep-in till about 8 or 9 at the latest on weekends. Some great books on in the importance of slowing down life are out there too. I recommend The Little Book of Hyyge. It changed my life.
@@kylecarroll4339 Thank you very much Kyle for your feedback!

Heyyyyyy
The decluttering one means you will get rid of 465 things.
I dont even own that many things
By day 30 ill be getting rid of my bed, oxygen supply and food
Thank god right now my company rents a temporary apartment for me, and there's a lot of owners stuff I don't care about and just be glad to throw away. Hopefully company covers expenses for that as well.
that's so communist. I.. started dropping things because of compelling desire (obssesion) of tidiness and cleaness if these words ever existed. Also, you spend less time of your life mantaining what you barely use.
Agreed - by day 15 I'd be slowly getting rid of my bookshelf - but how could I part with such sweet KNAWLEGE
Habits determine your character, hone them.
I don’t even have 465 things I’ll probably be dropping my mother by day 15
Really appreciate your videos, you inspire me man! Keep up the great work

Can you please do a video about journaling! e.g how you do it specifically what you should write ect?
hey Matt, i know this is a really late comment and maybe you will not even read this but, as i started watching your videos about a month ago about how to be a minimalist, it really opened my eyes because well i lived for years in junk, hoarding stuff that wasn't essential for my life, well i started with throwing away the things i dont need and to my surprise i already felt a spark of a new beginning in my life, so i really wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart personally with this comment and for all the people that read my comment right now, this man will change your life in every aspect, thinking about only that what is essential for your life, when i started to throw out stuff i didnt need, i began to change in character for the better of course, you will enjoy life in a much better way, you will feel relaxed, thinking about stuff that benefits your life, keeping everything to a minimal, i want to thank you Matt because your videos helped me alot, so i can become a better person not only for myself but for others too.
i thank you from the bottom of my heart, i hope you're having a great day and i wish that everyone has a great life greetings kenneth
Cold showers are the best, I'm probably one of the few people I know who would happily exchange a warm shower for a cold one.
In my opinion as a specialist, baths should be for those longs sessions of pampering, with warm water with all those fancy things to massage, soothe and such, while showering should be quick, efficient and refreshingly cold, to get you going through the day and then when back home, quickly ready to sleep at night. Few things are better than taking a freezing shower, putting on your most comfortable pjs, then cuddling under some warm blankets...
oh, and this waking up early + morning routine thing would CHANGE MY LIFE if I actually got to stick with those habits... Why is it so hard!!! I need more tips
(just realized it's 3am rn, that's probably why it's hard to wake up at 5 :v)
Hahaha yeah that might be your problem. You might need to start with a night time routine.
After being in Sydney over New Years I can confirm it's very hard to shift your schedule & wake up early. I've been snoozing in the mornings for an hour from 6 to 7am. Eventually I'll work my way to 6am but I'm like a zombie when the alarm rings.
Reggie K,
Please tell me what is so great about cold showers. Do you live in a place with warm weather all year?
@@kathleen6288 Warm showers are great if you're feeling tense or sore, but cold showers actually pump up your immune system (even preventing colds), make you more energetic, speed up your metabolism, and much more.
Where I live we have both really hot and really cold days, and I actually found easier to take the cold showers during colder days, specially in the beginning, because you feel less of a temperature shock!!
Hope I helped :)
They're also great for your hair and skin.
I have mixed feelings about cold showers. I took cold showers every day for about 20 days a couple years ago. I noticed my skin and hair was much smoother and more hydrated, which was good, and I also felt warmer than I normally would, like I had a little glow from within going on. But as a woman, I question whether it's the best idea to take cold showers before/during menstruation. When I was younger I wouldn't pay attention enough and would forget to keep warm in the days before my period. If I had to be stuck in a cold classroom or cold weather before my period, BAM. First day or two of my period would be living hell--cramps so bad I couldn't move, fainting, vomiting, so much pain I literally could not even bear to sit up in bed to take a painkiller. I would get up to go to the bathroom and then just lay there on the floor until I gathered the energy to crawl back to my bed. Now I make sure to wrap up, wear thick socks, carry a jacket and all that as preventative measures. So I'm wondering, would cold showers be a threat to my ovaries or nah? 😂
wow. your content is great! thank you! also, didnt even realize your video was ad free and it honeslty allowed me to enoy it that much more.
Yo man, I really like your content.
Been so helpful and positive.
I also like the way you edit, film and colour grade.
12 Stop Social Media => UA-cam (a part of social media i got this video) Speaking about quit social media in social media. Very good of point.
Im used to wake up early,, but every person i know on this earth is dead until 12 pm.
Usually until 5 pm
And?
And that's the best part lol
The point of waking up early is to be alive when the rest of the world isn't. Its liberating.
I hope I can apply this in my life.
Good luck!
There's a few things I've nearly gained control of but something I feel that I'm also struggling with is, getting to sleep at a decent hour.
in the end, no matter “how much” there is on UA-cam, we get back to Matt when “its serious” . ❤️ I love your videos Matt and I keep on getting back to them
Really thanks for russian subtitles!)
Your video's nice, I'm subscribed now ))
Sorry for my English (
When you dropped the B-bomb, I cracked up. Keep up the good work and thanks for all the advice you share.

My habits that made me come.out if depression,anxitety and negetive thoughts are..:1) listening to self help books,2) stop listening to negetive news,3)a half an hr walk in the evening,4) ignoring negetive talks and gossips,5) practising journaling and gratitude 6) mindfulness,7)self motivation,8) saving more money,9) accepting a situation than complaining and condemning or judging..!😍😍❤️❤️❤️😍😍also all this was possible dur to the kind of quality books that I read over a period of time..and trust me a good book can definitely change life 🤗🤗🤗all the way from India.

Your channel is everything.
This guy seems too perfect it bothers me.
You're talking about my dance moves aren't you?
Lol really? I actually like him because he’s real and relatable
He's not perfect if he supports Jordan Peterson tbh...
@@boop3260 what do you have against Jordan Peterson?
@@MaddDxD His self-help methods are all rehashings of things other people have already said (see Steve Pavlina for example - who's also been advocating and experimenting with 30-day habit trials for over 10 years)...
But mainly, he has been proven to be a really sexist individual, and that comes through in his views around gender - he hides it behind pseudointellectual language and his qualifications or is excused for it because of his self-help tips (which aren't really _his_). He has suggested women want to be sexually harassed and that they're 'asking for it', especially in the work place if they're wearing makeup, among other comments.
There are so many other people that one can take self-reflexion and growth from. Jordan Peterson isn't one worth that much time...
here in Brazil cold shower is our standard shower temperature, summer seems like hell, cold shower is very easy for us lol
I watch and rewatch your videos before work everyday while having breakfast. Makes me motivated to start my day!

Wow those 8 minutes flew by. This video is helpful and amazing. Thanks dude.
I like how straight forward your videos are. Some of these UA-camrs make me wait to get the information. Thank 🙏 you for this!
I'm starting my exercise routine every morning and thinking about going to the gym soon. Got myself a planner and a calendar to keep track of what im supposed to being on certain dates. Really helped out a lot. I have terrible memory 😂
This comment is a friendly reminder : don't forget to *go to the gym*
Try running in the rain. It’s lovely and somehow freeing to accept that it is refreshing and won’t kill you.
Randy Nickel it can’t rain everyday bro.
