    • @xell4o
      @xell4o 7 років тому +11

      Yes, but as far as I know and have read, you need at least 5 minutes for meditation to have any effect. When I meditate I give myself 1 minute more just so If I move or scratch my nose or something I still have 15 minutes where I stand still, don't move and connect my breathing. I am not trying to be mean or anything, I am just saying 1 min is not enough to feel any effect and if he does't feel the effect he might find it hard to keep it up.

      There is this book called Presence process where it explains meditation and presence and can be really helpful.

      to where as I understanded, this 1 minute low bar trick is to "cheat" your habit, so sooner you will find it 1 minute not enough and will naturally want to do more then this.

    Funny, I just started this series today, but have been working on my gym habits for a few months. This morning I told myself "I'm just going to go to the gym and maybe do some light cardio for like 20 minutes just to get myself there." Then as soon as I got out of bed, got myself to the gym, and was there, I decided to do my full weightlifting routine and cardio for an hour.
    The fact that I had a "low bar" of only doing a 20 minute light workout got me to the gym, and getting there was the hard part for my willpower, once I was there I did a full workout that was great!

    About willpower..well I have a little tip I found that works amazing..at least for me..it is a 5 seconds rule and it is not that 5 seconds rule..:)..basically everytime something you know you have to do pops into your mind you just start counting and just move and actually start doing the thing before you get to 5..this way your brain will not keep you from doing it because you didnt hesitate..this helps somehow outsmart the brain..if that makes sense to you..by the way I use that along with the Implementation Intention technique found on this channel for longer term decision making..wonderful stuff..

    Hey, thank you for uploading that course for free, it seems to be really useful! However, some of my questions remained unanswered, maybe somebody could comment on that.
    Does it make sense to work on several habits at once, or is it better to first establish one habit, and then continue with the others?
    Is it necessary to practice habits every day, or can you set up habits for once every two days or maybe even for once a week, since I am quite busy and if I would do all of my habits every single day, my daily routine would be too large to manage. My last question is about the cues. I want to establish a habit of being excited all the time and not being negative, how would I cue that? It is easy to forget this, so a tip would be nice.
    Thanks again!

    @ckentzel717 7 років тому +4

    The only problem I have with this is your idea of the reward system. To me, it makes no sense to reward yourself with something simply because I'd assume that you'd become dependent on the reward. So, if for some reason you knew that the reward wasn't possible one day (like if you don't have time to get a nice meal after working out) you wouldn't feel motivated to do the task. I'd appreciate if you'd clear this up for me, thanks!

    • @ayeshazubedi6115
      @ayeshazubedi6115 7 років тому +3

      It's not about the reward. It's about associating something pleasurable with the habit that you are trying to build. Once you associate the pleasure from the reward with the action that came before it, building a habit becomes easier. It's no longer a chore but something you look forward once you associate it with pleasure even if there is no immediate reward later

    I just realized my cues for bad habits... walking outside listening to music is a cue for smoking ... and eating is a cue for watching tv or UA-cam videos... man I love the authenticity of your videos ... this is no bs ... I’ll give meditation a try then I’ll get I to reading ! And then weight lifting... I really appreciate you making these awesome videos you’re helping a lot of people! And my cue for meditation is going to be waking up in the morning and the reward would be watching tv for an hour eating breakfast 🥞
