"Every thing u hate about yourself is just a part that loves you and wants to protect you, even a self harming one just wants the physical pain to protect you from unbearable emotional pain and if u just took a time to listen to it and love it back, it might become your greatest gift" what u said in the last part is just a really good piece of advice. I love it
Do you agree tjo
@@Bozzigmupp I think he does
I too love self harming back
usually the self harming pain is the cause of the emotional pain
@@thiccupcakee 💀
That was so wise, "Don't let this discipline become yet another distraction from what you need to feel."
I thought so too.
Yes that one got my attention
He really does have such good friends.
I didn't understand........
@@manzoor2378 When he started the challenge he was going through a break-up, so his friend told him that he should not use the challenge to distract himself from the negative feelings he had at that point. Because in that case, he would use the "no distraction challenge" to avoid confrontation with his feelings by only focusing on his discipline, which would ultimately work against the principles of the challenge. The people here in the comments cherish his friend for his wisdom and empathy.
I was skeptical watching this. I thought it would end like any other video of this kind. I thought you'd finish your 30 day challenge and that you would be happier than ever. But then your short conclusion hit me so hard. I'm starting therapy on Monday, hoping to work through these things. For me, social media has always been my escape. But I don't think I've ever stopped for a second, just to ask myself "What are you escaping from?"
From myself
my responsiblities or emotions
You got to fix the underlying problems in your life to really make a change, but in the meantime, no matter how hard it is, I do believe it is good to live like this. Focus on your goals your ambitions, your dreams, and nothing else.
@@olivermeyouhas1204 True. I've started going to therapy like a month ago and I'm working on that right now. Because turns out.. there's a lot of underlying issues I have to deal with. But I'm getting better
@@olivermeyouhas1204 I find it hard to do these things that are good for myself when I have to take care of my kid. But I guess one of my goals is to be a good father. It feels like I'm fighting with myself on whether I should take care of myself and fix my problems or be a good parent, I need to find the balance to do both.
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority . I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life beause I invested early ahead this time .
The rich Invest in alternative income streams that are independent of the government should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. Stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment...
I thought about investing in the financial market, I heard that people make millions if you know the tricks of the trade, but I lack good knowledge and a strategy to outperform the market and generate good yields. I have $160,000 but it's hard to bite the bullet and do it.
Having an investment advisor is the best way to go. Based on a direct encounter with a CFP named Betty Sue Blanchard, I can say with certainty that their skills are excellent. She helped raise over $580,000 in 18 months from an initially stagnant portfolio of $150,000
Fantastic! Can you share more details?
I really don’t know why this popped up in my recommended, but this is exactly what I needed. Exactly one week ago I deleted all social media apps, just not UA-cam for at least some information that are kind of educating and not just distracting. I think I’ll join you on that challenge, fitting to my needs and mental health. I guess what you’ve missed in that time was probably doing something supporting your talents doing something that is also distracting but more mind freeing and listening to your inner needs. Thanks for that amazing video 🙏🏻
Dude I’m in the same boat, only thing I’m wanting to do is make it a little more long term. I’ve made eight things I want to do to better my life, and put them on a board. Every week I roll an eight sided dice to see which one I ‘activate’, and they build up every week. I want to see how long I can go for
Me too
same this also popped up
im excited to discipline myself
what is the app or website mentioned at 3:56 ? can anyone tell
I recommend deleting youtube as well.
Amazing lesson here, thank you for putting the hours in on this video. This was very eye-opening for me.
Hey Jordan you are also here my all fav creators are here it seems like it's a beginning of a community.
@@Dinoking71 yep bruh
bro wtf I just watched your shopify dropshipping video
I watch your videos!!
hey
I love how this video ended. It wasn’t like “Wow after 30 days everything has been healed and I loved happily ever after” but instead it was more like “I didn’t live happily ever after, rather I realized that the story is still ongoing with its highs and lows, but I see it differently and approach things differently in order to better understand myself, love myself, and be more productive.” I think this was a great video and a point in reality that not everything has a expected happy ending to it.
All I’m saying is that the first one is way more catchier
I personally stopped watching UA-cam shorts because I was addicted to them. That was 10 months ago. Now, I’m noticing positive changes in my life, and a higher amount of effort in more of the things I do. People I know deny that they need to do what I did, but their addictions are worse than what mine was. This video reminds me of that, and I’m glad that people like this exist
I can relate I put on some music on full volume and walk around imagining random scenarios which took up a lot of my time, I had to search it up and I figured it was maladaptive daydreaming. My grades started dropping and I always felt drained and unproductive. I'm still working on it and now it's getting better for me. Still making up to the things I hve lost due to this
I wish there was an option to just deactivate UA-cam shorts. I dont want to watch them yet end up clicking on the shorts icon automatically
@@aqvanii same! i always tell myself i wont watch youtube shorts anymore, but it just doesnt work. but what you can do, is deactivating the shorts that show up on your youtube page so you dont see them anymore. but ofc the shorts button is still there and i wish there was a function i could deactivate them T-T
@@lissyjak9568 download screen zen it's really good for preventing doomscrolling
Yh same here aimlessly scrolling will not do go but rather write down the topic u wanna watch and watch only that it makes u efficient and more time for other things
I never cry, I always thought that it wasn`t for me. I tried to suppress everything and keep going but while watching I felt a sensation rising and rising until I bursted into tears. It is amazing, I can feel the authenticity in these words and feelings and I understand the struggle all too well. Thank you Leon.
Exactly what I felt watching this video
Nope
It's amazing how feelings can transcend through a video to another person, I feel you guys too
Same
i never cry because i find it as a sign of weakness
When you spoke about the bad part that we want to get rid of: "but the more we try to supress it, the more it'll fight back", its crazy how accurate this is, love it!

This video was truly inspiring and as someone who is still in his teens(15), I figured it would be the best time right now to start taking action, to start learning those skills that are in high demand, to start taking care of myself ( both physically, although I have been doing that for years by now and mentally) and to just start doing something that is not only meaningful to ourselves but also to the world, to make a difference. I hope this video inspired y´all as much as it did myself and who knows maybe in a few month's time I´ll come back to this comment and think"That was the day, the stone started rolling") Cheers
Cheers
Almost 16 here too. We can do this! Good luck!
As long as you keep thinking that way you’ll be successful.
16. Never stop.
i like the energy this video had given to the viewwers WOW
This video is 100% the most inspiring thing I've seen in a long time. I'm going to read "No bad parts" & I will start pushing myself to get shit done. "Why haven't I done this earlier?....That's the inner critic. Because you didn't know any better. It's fine, you're doing it now.You're doing great." I feel like starting to embrace all of me.
Yes
How is the change after 3 months Happy new years of course
And now?
“Cause you didn’t know any better, it’s fine. You’re doing it now. You are doing great.” So emotional !! Didn’t expect to be brought to tears watching this video
I am with you in this one 😢

Also going through a break up right now, its almost impossible for me todo anything I need todo in life currently. Watching this has definitely improved my life for the better though.
How could anyone would want to break up with a Minecraft UA-camr??? Stay strong king
You can do it buddy i also got into something really f*** up but im trying to be strong mentally everysingle day so staying alive is the best thing for us
If you think it's impossible , you are right and if you think it's possible you are right too.
Virtual GF break up with you? I feel bad for you man really
Thanks for the comment. I am going through the same thing :)
Brother this was easily one of the best videos I have seen in my entire time on UA-cam. Well done 👏🏼
why are you here
That's exactly what I've been facing lately. I have lots of dreams and a huge vision for my life. But I keep procrastinating and sabotaging myself with my bad habits. Thanks for the info and the inspiration.
You will never make it bro and that's the fact to be completely honest, most wealth is inherited and if you are not naturally 10000% motivated for life with 0 procrastination in you it is just not happening. it's OK believe me
@@revoltoff he never said his dream was wealth?
@@revoltoff Apologies, but I’d have to respectfully disagree here.
Unless you’re aiming for being a billionaire. Which is not necessary for most people to be fulfilled, successful, happy.
Those who seek fame and wealth have the wrong goals in my humble opinion.
They’re in love with a future temporary result, not an every day process.
Even when they get their fame and wealth, they often end up feeling unfulfilled and unhappy because they have the wrong mindset. They still want more and never appreciate the present moment.
But they’ll get it eventually, hopefully. We’re all at a different step of self-love and acceptance.
Do what you love, what fulfills you, do it well enough and long enough to get the rewards from your commitments.
It’s okay to not be 100% devoted to it every single seconds.
That’s human, and that’s a lie.
And telling people to give up before even trying is the worst advice one can give.
People who succeed are the ones who did it long enough without giving up.
It’s always seem impossible until someone does it.
People should not limit themselves regarding what they can achieve and put ceilings on their capabilities.
Finally, it’s not about the result anyway, because one can’t predict the future. He who tries to avoid pain, suffering, undesired events out of fear and aversion, and he who craves certains things, are both usually miserable.
It’s about the person you become by following the process. Not numbers on a screen, whether your bank account or your social media following.
Don’t judge what happens to you, it’s not “positive” or “negative”, those are just arbitrary and subjective labels.
Things just are. They happen.
It’s about what you do about them.
You can’t predict the future anyway.
Just make the best to appreciate the present moment.
Bad and good moments are both temporary anyway.
Everything will pass.
It does not mean it’s not worth it.
Have a lovely day ☀️
@@revoltoff why would u even say that
@@revoltoff bro u good?
Hey I’m commenting this over a year after watching this video, and I just wanted to say-- it was my door to self-improvement as a whole, so I can’t thank you enough. It seemed to be a spark that lit a new me, with myself indulging further into self-improvement and enjoying life much more; my social activity rising, my fitness level, and much more.
I wish you achieve what you have planned. Like that dialogue in the video that says " don't let that discipline be another distraction".😊
Ever since I left for college I've felt this constant inner battle that you're talking about, part of me wanting to be disciplined and study study study and the other part of me just wanted to get high and do nothing, never feeling satistfied nor happy with myself. Thank you so much for creating this video!
I can relate so much to your comment that it hurts in a emotional degree.
If I am not doing something productive I can't feel ok. My brain keeps telling me to do something, and if I don't it won't leave me alone, I try to do something but doing it makes me bored to hell. I have lots of unfinished projects because of this, and I quickly need to move from one to other because I just want to do something productive that makes me feel okay doing it, but I have not found it yet.
What do you do about it? What is the solution
I can relate to this on a spiritual level, can’t remember the last time I felt satisfied with myself, please let me know also if there’re any solutions
@@ivdane If you have a similar problem, you may want to see a therapist.
I am not you, but I know that feeling like this sucks ass, so please get the help you need man.
I am going through the exact same battle right now…wanting to improve but instead smoking all my problems away. The first step to improving is awareness and then taking action good luck 🙏🏻
"Every thing u hate about yourself is just a part that loves you and wants to protect you..." Now that what I call wisdom! Thanks Leon
Love that you hung the painting on the wall at the end. That was a really nice touch. To be honest sometimes I get the feeling that you are creating problems for yourself just so you can solve them. Although that works well for your videos. That being said life is actually way more simple If you let it. 👌 Best of luck.
I think it's the grace of voluntarily exposing yourself to these problems. For when you really need to do it or go through it unintentionally, have another perspective. I don't know, I heard it on another channel, I haven't implemented it yet. I don't know if it's his intention either.
Watching this made me so emotional! The battle within myself is overwhelming. I needed this! ❤
How blessed we are living in a time of publishing and sharing our minds. Leon, I thank you for your mindfulness and service to this community. You are helping a lot of people including me!
what is the app or website mentioned at 3:56 ? can anyone tell
@@karan200590 looks like its the Notion app
I (15) started to take myself seriously earlier this year around May.
I deleted tiktok because I realized that I'm incapable of disciplining myself to watch for less hours. I always fell into that "rabbit hole" of mindlessly watching tiktok for 8 hrs.
It took over my education and health in general. My daily routine is way much better compared to when I had tiktok and other games. I now excercise at least 4 days a week, read, cook, do more things that I love or even things that are boring but I know are good for me.
I can confidently say that I wouldn't have been this productive if I had still had tiktok/insta and my fav games. It started with guilt then led to confrontation and finally relieved and no regret.
Saying that you're going to start taking care of yourself is no doubt easier said that done. It was so challenging no way was it a smooth road. But you have to actually DO IT and put in so much work.
My greatest fear is that I get distracted with social media again. Losing a well maintained routine *again* will be my biggest downfall.
I quite social media a couple of days ago, and my body just feels constantly stumped looking for things to do. Eventually I get so bored and give in to social media again. I realized social media has taken up so much of my life, as a result giving me no life at all. I'm always seeking entertainment and validation from it. Do you guys have any ideas on things or activities I should try out?
@@ilabeiyu Just do nothing and let yourself find an outlet or hobby. Maybe self-improvement on something you dislike about yourself.
@@ilabeiyu exactly my problem. it took and ruined and is continuing to ruin my life. it's an addiction that I can't cope and escape.
Guys, I started to get involved in this whole topic with self-development, but I don’t know what plan I should follow, what I should do and what not to do. Can you help me?
@@fogowwsky I'm on the road to self development myself so my adivce to focus more your hobbies and improve ur skillset. Don't waste hours on useless activities like watching to much movies or playing games for at least an hour or more. And ofc! quitting social media has rlly helped me focus on myself more and brought me more happiness.
I was down bad the last couple of days, our holidays started and i just didnt feel like i knew what i was gonna do. Skipped workouts the last 4 days or so. Your video motivated me to start working out again, in fact im writing this comment inbetween one of my sets :). Remember guys: "Setting goals is the first step to running the invisible to visible"

I've watched this maybe twice in the past six months, and it's truly amazing. I really want to give it a try for myself. I'm ignoring my 'productive' side. I'm submitting too much to instant gratification that I can't happily get on with school work or exploring new options when these things are meant to be exciting. My hope starting tomorrow, is that I'm going to disconnect from my 'online/social' world and focus more on myself. To remove unhealthy distractions and to embrace challenge. My goals are to make progress and come to a conclusion with exploring my future (picking university), I know that it would be good for myself to try and make an Instagram page dedicate to something I am passionate about (self improvement). I would also like to focus on my fitness and bettering myself academically because I know I won't get the results I need otherwise. So thank you for this video, it's extremely helpful as it's sparked movement in me.
This video was suggested to me at the right time! 😢 I’m currently sitting on my bed, thinking about how I can finish my uni assignment, how I can be more productive with my photography, and just be a better person. I’ve had the exact same past as you, growing up, I guess I’ve always pushed people away, pushed myself away, but this video has taught me a lot, in accepting the way I am, that I don’t have to be 100% perfect, I should love and appreciate the way I am. So thank you dude! Was a emotional video indeed
that last quote made me sob,....going through a lot of changes after the loss of my mom...thank u for this video, seriously
So sorry for your loss man
The building jokes made me laugh 😂
Edit: wow the ending took a huge turn from what I thought it would be. I loved this video! Thank you for enduring this so we could all learn something. 😄
Oh god its the 29 year old with a wife and 5 kids making minecraft content
Beesechurger what are YOU doing here???
germany water so its like ot fun xD
I am your 900th like :D
tf are u doing here?
Don’t let the discipline become a distraction or another way not to feel. It’s called compassion. Beautifully said
I never write comments for yt videos, but this one is really life changing.
You shared the exact same thoughts that arise in my head. I looked at u as if it was me doin all these crazy challenges to please the “ambitious part” of me and to suppress the inner child. I actually started crying at same moment that u did lol
I think what we all have do is to find balance between all the voices in our heads, and THAT will lead to the genuine harmony and peace that we all seek for.
Holy shit you weren't lying
Towards the end, when the video changed In tone… It honestly got me. As someone with depression and Is currently going through the worst stage that It’s ever been… I can’t begin to tell you how much that part resonated with me and how much I needed to hear that! …Honestly, thank you! 💛
I’m taking at least two things from this video…
One: I’m not alone In this perfectionist way of thinking/being.
Two: I need to buy *that* book!!!
Wünsche dir nur das beste :) Du bist gut so wie du bist! Bleib dir selbst treu

I had to use Google translate, but I got there In the end. 🤣 (I’m aware my handle Is German)… I’m In fact English. 🏴
понимаю друг, выздоравливай скорее, я в тебя верю
I am truly sorry you're in so much pain because of depression. Sending you heartfelt hugs. Hang in there - you're worth it.
Depression isn’t real you can only go forward
The "I cant try something new without trying to become really good at it" is the exact description of what has been holding me back. So i constantly try new things and try to stick with them without trying to do it 100% perfectly optimized, but man that is hard...
Same here, or even worst, since if I'm not good at it in the first 10 minutes, I'll drop it because my inner critic can't stand not being good at something. You can't do wrong if you don't do at all, right? :(
I have did that as well and because of that now i can do all of this: backflip, front flip side flip, backfull on ground, i am in the first team of my soccer club can solve a rubiks cube in under 50 seconds and i have the record of my school with 12 minute run
Don’t worry,I was like that till I learned from an old pretty lady on UA-cam,that she said,(u don’t need to be perfect to start , just do it now ,and with practicing and hardworking u will become perfect).
Sorry for my pretty English language 😇

I've been doing a social media detox for 21 days now, no Facebook or Instagram and it's been nice, while at the same time I'm trying to create new habits and do things I've been wanting to do. I love this video, specially the last part, it got me thinking and I cried for a few minutes thinking about my traumas and doing some introspection.

This has taught me no matter what you do (or NOT do!), what is left is internally healing the trauma that has been built all these years. We should learn to come to peace with ourselves. Damn. We should be kinder to ourselves and give us internal break. Thank you for filming this video! I enjoyed every bit and piece of it!
so true :)
@@AlexCio 😊👍
Now, this is what they won’t teach you at school kids. Contemplating with yourself, about yourself, is a never ending battle. Stop seeing it as a battle. Start seeing it as your mind trying to tell you something. As every part of you always has something to tell to you. Let it be. Amazing video. The first video I’ve seen in years that’s actually “teaching” something about life. Yet this is a personal process. It might be different for anybody, yet recognisable for many.
Amazing. Everyone should watch this. You my friend have shared one of the secrets to being at peace with yourself. It's pure freedom to truly understand what you are showing here.
Really a good video for teenager like me who have potential but the distractions are the problems thank you for this
I got recommended this video and I pressed on it expecting a perfect lifestyle just like all the other UA-camrs show, but it turned out very educational and realistic real quick, I loved how authentic this was thank you so much.
I thought it was supposed to be a motivational, 'how to become more productive' kinda video, but what it truly has taught me is to allow yourself various states of mind without feeling guilt or shame for that. I've been struggling with those two feelings all my life (I'm 26), and I've been working with a therapist on this, but it seems like this video made it clear for me more that the sessions I've paid for hahah. I'm going through a break-up and a general soul-searching, so I've been trying to rehabilitate myself kinda like you did (sports, healthier nutrition, walking, having massages, reading...), but I didn't feel any changes in my state of mind, I stayed the same and a very strict parent to myself. So thank you a lot for reminding me not to be this overcriticizing, toxic and abusive parent to my inner child. I wish you all the best in all your endeavors!

Man i could relate to that last part so much. For me it's like the complete opposite. I'm 21 years old but still a kid and can't seem to grow up. I had unhealthy family relationships and high pressure to do well in school or life in particular. So something inside of me just started to refuse to do well. I'm literally sabotaging myself to be happy and do the things i actually want to do. I absolutely have no discipline and sit at my computer 100% of my free time. I don't even enjoy playing video games anymore but it's the easiest thing to do. I know all the issues in my life but it's just to much of a pain to work on them.
bro it's me but 18 y.o version.
I'll take screenshot and when i want to play game or anything else that feels like "i'll be unsuccessful in my life with doing this.", i'll read it. thanks bro. if anyhing changes in my life, i will comment it. o7

The biggest pain is the regret, I'm very similar, let's start, there is no tomorrow, just a now.
@@SpecialAbonnent yeah buddy. Let's build the mentality that lead us to true happiness.
This made me unbelievably emotional, recently I've had trouble with being productive and how I'm spending my life
so you could imagine how this video impacted me. The parts which Leon describes his home life growing up really hit close to home because of how my own life is right now, I live with my family and like Leon our family fights a LOT and it feels like there is no escaping the constant stress I feel almost everyday.
It really feels like our family will never be fixed and I'll always feel like this until I move out.
But seeing someone who's gone through the same thing do all this... idk it really helps I guess? I just- one day I hope I get the courage to do a challenge like this, or I hope I am able to do something similar, maybe then I'll be able to balance all of the different parts of me and I'll finally be at peace.
I'm not great with words or expressing how important this video is to me but thankyou so much for making this
Yo you did a great job with your formulations and I could really feel how important this video for you was. I hope you will get rid of these things you were mentioning and be the person you want to be.

Incredible journey! Your ability to push through such tough challenges while staying true to yourself is beyond inspiring. This was exactly what I needed to hear today!
I feel you. When I cut all the distractions I'm incredibly productive and do more with less effort than I planned... but it's so hard to cut them, it's all or nothing really since I don't trust myself to just watch yt for an hour, or scroll fb for 10 minutes, its always longer or frequent.
set time limits give someone you trust the password tell them to not tell you it unless it’s urgent

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I can’t express how relatable this video was for me. You are truly an inspiration. Thank you Leon - from the bottom of my heart.
absolutely inspiring ❤️❤️
Hey, I have stopped watching this video after 1 minute and saved myself 15 minutes of my life! So happy! People find such complex solutions to such simple problems. Stop wasting your time, do what needs to be done, that's it.
Thanks man, I really needed this. I would spend most of my day on social media scrolling and watching myself wasting my time doing the same thing everyday. Wasting my potential and time. For those who faced something similar, don't me mad at your self remember a new day is a new life for a wise man.
Watching this as a 12 year-old help got a lot of my life together, I was so lazy but I challenged my self and this is video just helped get me up
any tips?
I love that this video helped you man, and I know that this is corny but never forget you’re still a kid! at your age it is definitely important to learn about discipline, but you’re still young and deserve to have fun and enjoy everything that comes with growing up! don’t let that inner drive you have keep your from enjoying the time you have ❤️ much love
I'm in a similar tug-of-war with my creative vein and my more practical and achieving one and this video is what I needed to watch. Thanks, Leon!
Man I'm so happy for you having found that last bit of inspiration that came from the book. Work is an addiction that we get much appreciation for. Hence we don't really feel how it is slowly killing us inside. Mostly we try to stay busy to suppress feelings we're too afraid to confront. At the same time it's what fuels our ambition and makes us as strong as we are. But there's a different source within us. One that helps us to solely create out of pure inner inspiration. We honestly have all the money we need to live a happy life. Our ego might have brought us here faster, it's true. Though I chose not to let it enslave myself for the rest of my life and instead focused on living a life based on pure joy for the moment. I loved how you started painting, I loved how vulnerable you speak. You're a good man. You're enough. You're enough even without numbers. Hope that reaches the inner child. Sending you many blessings and wishing you many happy moments on your ~100 year long ride.
Awww Leon it was so real watching the tension build throughout the video, and the comparison between your friends feeling better with time vs. you feeling worse. It always gets worse before it gets better, doesn't it? It is a beautiful, artfull, emotional piece you have created here. Rooting for you and sending so much love for expressing yourself authentically :)
I come across these videos every once in a while and I tell myself that I will change. But I wake up the next day completely disregarding what I told myself the day prior. I feel like my laziness is just who I am, although I may try to change it. I will once again try to change who I am as a person and limit my distractions to try and improve my wellbeing. All new introductions of technology and social media into this generation have really negatively shaped many people. I will try and finish this challenge successfully this time. Good luck to everyone.
Love From Vaibhav Kadnar 💙

I always knew that discipline is important. But this video has taught me WHY it’s important. I love how all parts of us love us and care for us. UA-cam recommended this video to me at the perfect moment in my life- when I needed motivation to work, and pursue my hobbies, and overall to become productive. Thanks so much !
I'm crying as this video ends . . . I too have multiple parts, personalities within me . . . I thought they were unnecessary and ridiculous but having watched this video, I now realize that they are necessary too . . . This past few weeks have been tough bro . . . I have felt worthless, useless, and I felt like my life has no purpose anymore . . . Thanks for the video . . . it was a coincidence or maybe God's will that I stumbled upon this video . . . I AM GOING TO CHANGE MYSELF !!!!
Blessings to you:)
I am happy I am not an adult yet. I can mold this routine into my mind while I still can. I spend close to 7-8 hours on my phone each day. I will try this and do an edit after a few days. I think I will go out of my comfort zone sometimes maybe every 6 months and makes these things harder.
Edit: I forgot to mention I am starting on December 30. I have started taking cold showers though to start and I definitely recommend it!
I beileve in you
Give us an update, OK?
Rooting for you! ☺
I wish I could find my inner balance. I'm a very creative and talented person, but i don't think I'm actually using them. I'm always coming back from school and then just right aways playing computer games until it gets evening. I could do so much more. But when I sometimes for example start drawing a picture, i feel like it will take so much time and hard work that i just can't continue. I always ask myself why I'm existing. I kinda feel sick all the time. This video was a great inspiration.

"Everything you hate about yourself is just a part that loves you and wants to protect you" Means so much. You're a lifesaver (literally)
Thank you.
Hey just a tip from a long time meditator. The initial ambition to meditate is really good. But when you start out an infinitely more effective way to meditate is for 10min each hour.
If you really want to intergrate meditation this is the way to go.
Meditating five hours straight can be counterproductive. But the desire that shows is a really strong piont/favourable qaulity.
10 minutes every hour will start changing your brain in more permanent ways, it also is time efficient at 2hrs for a 12 hour day of practise. Even 6 sessions is good.
10 min every hour is like elite method used by some Buddhist lineages. Just a little tip.
Additionally, while you meditate, watch the breath under your nostrils, simply observe it, eyes closed.
This is called "object of meditation", so something you put your focus on.
This will help anchor you.
The idea is not to try and stop the mind, but simply observe it, observing the breath help to anchor you in this observation activity. So simply watch the breath, while resting in the observation of it.
You can't stop you mind as you may have noticed. But once you observe it for long enough, you will kind of take a backseat and be watching it constantly, even throughout the day(after months).
Gradually a peaceful disposition will build, situated around relaxing as the observer of the mind rather than constantly caught in it. From there deeper states of peace and other phenominon will occur, such as bliss and what they might call the unmoving, everpresent self As awareness, prior to thinking.
this is incredibly helpful, thank you!
Thank you
I started crying at the end. I wish those waking up moments for all of us!
Thank you for your realizations and for sharing this motivating story!!
11:01 when i was younger i didnt touch my computer almost never, and it allowed me to think about the world we live in, think about myself and my surrounding. Thats where my life philosophy and answers to questions i had came out of. I didnt need no philosopher to tell me all of this. I was only 10 - 12. And I can't stress it bad enough guys. You HAVE to try this if you are still young. Just sit on your bed and let the questions pop into your mind themselves. And then try to answer them instead of escaping to your phone.
Thank you but honestly thank you so much. I went from 8-9 hours a damn day to less than an hour it actually feels so good. It actually did make myself fell better. Thank you
10:54 this right here actually made me pause and think “wow… this is what I’m avoiding. This is what I need; to feel unapologetically bad and work out everything that’s causing it.” Very insightful.
I've been watching youtube videos for years, self-improvement, discipline, emotionals, fun, pranks, challenges, and so on.
This one was by far one of the best I've seen, at all points. It trully spoke to me.
Thank you
As an Asian who grew up having cold showers all the time, it's interesting to see how it's challenging for others to get in cold showers. I guess it was a challenge when I was younger, I just got so used to it now.
Anyways, AMAZING video. I usually just let videos play while I work but this is so much work I just have to watch and appreciate it! Kudos, you're awesome.
Such an amazing video ❤I would say I actually feel like my life’s changed woaaa. Hats off to you man ❤️💕
Dont care if this was scripted to sell the book! I love the genuine authenticity! I have been on a self improvement journey for 11 years now, I could totally relate with you!
@Pylo countless times, but it's not really about how many times you relapse, its about how you get up everytime and start over again. With time, I have started to enjoy the process rather than the outcome.
Truly inspiring video. I'm 14 right now and I have a lot of small things I'd like to improve about myself as time goes by, and a few larger goals that I want to achieve but keep finding myself procrastinating and stopping myself from doing so and I feel super frustrated. But I'll work hard from now and try to make the best of everyday and try to do things that are meaningful to not only myself, but the world and try to make a difference. Maybe one day, I'll come back to this comment and see my younger self commenting this and think about how this was the moment that started it all haha. Cheers everyone
@Sum Jayden Haha thats awesome thanks man!! You just made my day :) You as well KEEP GOING
Im 14 aswell and im having quite some problems about my life. I would always complain to myself that i have nothing to do, i play my favorite games everyday, not doing something productive. It made me feel like an absolute idiot, i see all the people out there doing productive stuff and me, just sitting on my chair playing games everyday.
I was worried for when i would grow up to become nothing. As of right now, im trying to do something with my life. I even hate myself that i dont even know how to cook. My dad even said to me that i didnt do anything with my life, i just played games and thats it.
Its our sembreak today for just 1 week. School is basically how i get to do something with my life. I do my assignments, i talk to my friends and listen to our teachers.
@@PersonWhy Hey, don't worry so much man. It's tough and I also don't know what I'm going to do with my life when I grow up like SERIOUSLY and whenever someone asks about it, I feel super uncomfortable because, HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW? We're just kids that want to enjoy life and it feels like there's so much pressure to do STUFF in the world today but I'm sure everything will work out in the end. Anyways, even if everyday isn't INCREDIBLE, it matters that you're able to find even one small thing you are grateful for or enjoy. Hopefully your day has been bright! I appreciate you sharing your feelings and I'm glad we're not alone :)
@@itsarahminecraft I wanna start too
@@anakayyyo9542 Then let's do it! I don't think it's about "starting something" but more about getting to make small improvements everyday until you look back and realize how far you've come so that you can be proud of yourself, even if it's small things :) Some days, or maybe even everyday, you might do or say things you regret, or maybe it's the opposite and you don't do anything, and you feel regret and frustrated for "wasting time", but when you think about it, it's just one small day in your beautiful life. As easier as it is to say then do, there's always tomorrow you can look forward to and better. I think the fact that you want to start and live your life to the fullest is more than enough now and you can only go up. I believe in you man
This has been so inspiring and timely. I’ve had a few rough days as I’m going to launch a course and all my doubts came striking towards me. Definitely going to devour this book. Thank you✨
Great video but please make more of ones to enlighten people. I stumbled upon someone complaining in your comment section about loosing job and seeking for help. Having multiple income sources is very crucial to financial growth.
I realized the benefits of investing. My source of income had previously been my job. But I lost my job when the pandemic started and I had to live with the little I had in my savings which really affected my plans.
This is exactly what I'm talking about. For the past four years, my income has never been dependent on any firm or work place, because I chose to invest and the more money I get the more I seek for new investment opportunities.
Unfortunately having a job doesn't mean security. So I really appreciate John Joseph's transparency and help on my trades.
The thing that most impressed me about John Joseph was that he wasn't simply an expert in forex; he was also interested in stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other more substantial assets. He is the reason my investments have performed well. Since then, I've been investing with him, so I can now use the money I get from our trades to invest in real estate.
This is amazing. How can I reach this John Joseph? I'm close to retirement and I think Investing would be worth a shot.
This was incredible, Leon. You have inspired me to take on this challenge. I'm in a low point in my life and I'm making changes. I will go thru with this challenge and once successfully complete this challenge, I will go on a 90 day challenge, kicking up a notch or a few. Also, I will start vlogging it. Thank you for such great content.
UPDATE: I did not complete the challenge. ⚠️HOWEVER, my life has made an extremely positive turn. I followed my list for 2 weeks and thanks to that,, my business has been thriving tremendously! It's been over 30days and I all I can say is for now is that I am extremely blessed! Thank you, Leon for kick-starting a great thing in life. I WILL DEFINITELY START VLOGGING soon.
I encourage everyone go thru this challenge.
where are the vlogs
I want to be a part of the next 30 day detox
why wait for the next? DO IT NOW
@@kylehubbard4202 "what happens in the afterlife" - well it is written in the bible: read soul - read it.
If We, who die as saved aka saints before the RAPTURE or after - we are going into ABRAHAM`S BOSOM to wait there THE DAY OF JUDGMENT. Later we move into heaven and inherit the NEW EARTH.
If we die as wicked sinners - then down into Hell we go and wait there THE DAY OF JUDGMENT and later move into the LAKE OF FIRE - brining there forever.
That`s all, nothing more to add nor take away.
Dude you are going to burn forever in the lake full of fire and being the whole time in regrets.
You say your a gay and carring all the other wicked titles, THE REPENT. REPENT form all of you sins and go and sin no more.
You caring or not caring ain`t change whats awaits you after your time on earth is done.
THERE`S NO DEATH, A SPIRIT CANNOT DIE. THERE`S ONLY A DEPARTING ONE`S BODY.
I never been chatolic nor do i come form the house of chatolics. My family members are atehists and buddists - they believe these lies. Sadly even they are still blinded by their PRIDE and that keeps then seeking out the MISSING KNOWLEDGE.
THE RAPTURE CAN TAKE PLACE EVERY GIVEN MOMENT:
What if i`m founded worthy too and VANISH SUDDENLY?
WHO then will be still on this earth HELPING THE LOST? And how many will there be?
I am fully aware also that the “coin” can be on the other side and I`d be found unworthy to escape and will be left behind to go through the TRIBULATION PERIOD.
I have always been fascinated by investing, but without adequate knowledge on the right thing to do, I find it difficult to start. *I politely ask, what’s the best sector to invest in?*
It is entirely possible for a smart and patient investor to go into investing with the right information. One of the best ways to get started is to get help from an experienced Financial Consultant . I've been investing since *2015* and I'm extremely happy with the returns I get working with my investment advisor; *Hamilton Phoebe Zoe*
@@paolokoch1123 I am very interested in this information and I've some money sitting idly in the bank with that I can start investing without further delaying, If you don't mind How can I get in touch with your professional?
@@mooersproducts350 As to get more details about my Investment Professional; *Hamilton Phoebe Zoe* easily do quick internet research where you can easily write her from, do your research with her full names mentioned.
@@paolokoch1123 Got it, thanks for the opportunity
10:35 honestly, The painting is so good 🔥🔥
You got me in tears at the end bro, everything you stated in this video has always been obvious but the world of today keeps you unfocused from your former self. Everyone has an inner child, everyone is able to reach the goals we thought were impossible but the society built us in order to adapt to others, not fully develop our inner child. This is what I believe we have to never forget if I make it short. Gonna look out for this book in depth. Thanks for this awesome video.
super interesting video. that took a lot of dedication! thanks for the experiment i've been wondering these things too lately.
What i learned here bro is dont push yourself to much for your ambition to change and be productive or happier than before. I also did this, challenging myself to communicate and interact with some pressure of schedule but in the end i couldn't meet up my own rules.what i learned is take the process by keep moving and dont put so much presure just for a change. What i am happy about myself is i didn't doing this on social anxiety therapy.i didn't push myself to much.for 3 years for therapy ive been able to take a photo of myself hannging out sometime without rejecting. Although it took me 3 years to do this it change me though
I think the discipline you seek is self-mastery. I applaud that, and I think you are right.
The best way to self mastery is to serve other selves. To serve others. You will discover that mastery is for power, and power is a utility for service.
Be obedient to your mom and dad. That right there is the beginnings of mastering your self. That is pure achievement.
Really enjoying these videos Leon, very relatable and insightful for me as I navigate a lot of these very real issues that are easy to ignore.
Appreciate ya
Leon² collab needs to happen !
what is the app or website mentioned at 3:56 ? can anyone tell
Why isn't there alot of replies
Outstanding video. I’m 40 and I only realized how the parts were and are still arising a year ago. What I’ve learned is that talking to them and building a relationship with them will help understand our ‘selves’ and learn to manage the interests of these ‘selves’ better.
Over a decade of wisdom all in one 16 minute video... Amazing editing, and storytelling
Your best video to date! Excellent work. I share the struggles.
Congrats for your breakthrough and thank you and your friends for this work. I think this is something I needed to see. Watching you I realised that I have the same problem of thinking "Ishould be doing more" so always what I did feels like an under-achievement, always feels like I could have done more until I'm exhausted so even when I try to relax or to take time off for something like watching netflix or something, there's a part in me that feels regret about it. And same as you, I put off things i like more like going to places (things that take more time and planning). It turns my life more and more into a repeating sequence. It takes courage to just sit back and face what is disturbing the peace within. what is holding you back. It feels like you could be doing something more important but in fact you cant. You just have to put aside everything else and give your time to face what is disturbing and try to understand it without judgement, without labeling make peace with it. When you do you can see that even mind can go silent or at least chatterring lessens a lot. I was avoiding this lately and even my porductivity was no good. This video was an awesome reminder and just at the right time.
And that‘s on inner child healing. Loved the video, really inspiring. Thank you for taking us with you ❤️
Love from vaibhav kadnar ❤
Its valuable ❤️
I want you to know that this had me in tears. Whether you read comments or not I'm telling you. You opened my eyes through this video. Thank you.
Thanks for this video. Just stumbled over it, and its very inspirational. I find myself in the same situation you did. This consistent war with myself over years now and i never get on the right path of overcoming it. It's a really tough battle but the things you've said in the end got right into me. Thanks man, i hope you keep improving and so will I.
Am so glad I’ve found this video.The past couple of weeks have been me trying so hard to escape from myself,but today I’ve made the decision that enough is enough
All I do is eat junk food,scroll on my phone for hours,evade my school and work and sleep late
I need to do better
This is my chance.Am gonna give myself 2 weeks first then see how am doing
I really love the healthy relationship you seem to have amongst your group of friends. You are all very talented with (or worked hard to be able to be) voicing your emotions. I absolutely enjoyed watching! (greetings from Germany)
I've been struggling with my mind, my life, with literally everything for past few months. I've been searching for answers but I don't know the questions. It's becoming challenging for me to think about disipline. It feels like I'm stuck in a loop. Still, I'm fighting, and I'm gonna challenge myself like this. Thank you for your video. And that's a great book recommendation. I'll definitely read it.
One of the things that make you not waste your life is recording it. You know that you are going to show it to people, What you are going through. When you watch this video of yours, it makes you feel even better. Millions of people watched it and commented.
best video I have ever seen. speechless. I will come back here many times, that's for sure. Congratulations on completing the 30 days!
Distractions are very common nowadays, especially with such easy access to phones. Staying in the moment with the tips in this video is a great way to live full out!
This is what I needed. Although not even an adult I have always tried to make sense of the different parts of me and I know feel more secure knowing that I don't have to suppress me and instead I can find ways to embrace myself in healthy ways. I owe the world to you Leon, thank you.
Just a little explanation for those who don't (really) know about God's love and Jesus' sacrifice for us.
If I ask you:
-Have you ever lied?
-Have you ever stolen?
-Have you ever used the name of God in vain?
-Have you ever disrespected your parents?
-Have you ever killed someone?
Etc.
The answer for all of us is probably yes to at least one of these questions. According to the 10 commandments, if you did commit those acts you are then a liar, a thief, a blasphemor, a murderer etc.
James 2:10 ''For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.''
If you were in Court (God being the judge) to be judged for these crimes, would you be held innocent or guilty? Guilty.
Based on those crimes what would be the sentence? Heaven or hell? Hell.
But is there a way for you to be exonerated? YES!
Jesus is the answer. He paid your fine. You are now free. Indeed, by being crucified, Jesus took all the sins of the world (all of my sins, all of your sins) on his shoulders.
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
What does all that mean?
It is not the law nor our good deeds that will save us and make us just to God. There's no amount of work that we can do to deserve to be saved. We are all so flawed even though we try to be good. But you can have Eternal life with God. How? You just have to accept Jesus's sacrifice, repent from your sins and follow God. It is totally free! You don't have to go confess your sins to the priest to be saved, you don't have to pray 5 times a day to be saved, you don't have to be perfect! All God wants, is to have a genuine relationship with you. Real christianity is not a religion. It is a RELATIONSHIP with God. All you need to do is to have faith in him and repent from your sins.
And of course, if you accept Jesus in your life, you will still sin. We are all human and weak. But trust me, through God given Holy Spirit you will experience a love that will totally transform you and that will give you a peace that nothing in this world can offer you.
And if you sin, just recognize it and ask God to change your heart and He will. Nothing is impossible for Him. He wants and he can transform you [but only if you let Him do]!
God knows you completely and loves you totally, and this void in your heart and in your life is Him inviting you to seek Him and to surrender everything to Him. We were created for so much more than this earth!
His promise for everyone without exception: "If you seek me with all your heart, you will find me" (Jeremiah 29:13). ''God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth." (John 4:24) I met him, and thousands and thousands of people have also genuinely met Him.
God is not a myth, Jesus is not just a historical figure. He is more than alive and He wants you to experience his love and mercy!
No matter who you are, no matter what you've done, God wants you to know that He loves you so much. He died on the cross for you! And He doesn't want anyone to perish but have eternal life.
"The Lord is not slow to fulfill His promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance." (2 Peter 3:9)
He gave us free will. Therefore I don't want to force you to believe in anything. I just want you to know that you have nothing to lose searching for Him but genuinely everything to win. May God bless you.
I'm crying.. a bit too much.
Thank you so much Leon for the amazing video. Keep inspiring others 'cause the world needs more people like you ❤
