Jordan Peterson videos are addictive.
Once you pop, you can't stop!
Its been over 3 months, quit alcohol, cigarettes, toxic friendships, a toxic romantic relationship, fornication, and drugs pushed on me by my ex. This month quit weed, watching my speech and trying not to cuss so much. My room has always been very clean and beautiful but I have cleaned up my living room(and basically whole house)and even painted it last weekend and it looks beautiful! I give some credit to JP, but most of it to God for inspiring me and a good chunk of credit for myself. Once you get past the first month, for my experience at least- the hardest part is over. Just gets easier from there! Some results have been ; saving money, lost weight, feel more emotionally balanced, increased mental clarity , better employee and role model. Life is so much better!!💜
This is surprisingly difficult to do, like very difficult to do once you realize how much you get in your own way, at least from my experience.
That's the challenge. It's not the work that is difficult, it's getting yourself to do it.
WhatsCrackinPlayer So much better, by miles.
Steven Steve Steven Definitely.
Facts man. Your only real life's work is learning how to get out of your own way. And no one is ever really done.
Meditation helps greatly.
As a psychology student i'd do anything to be in his seminars and lecture

This is not the first time he proposed this experiment / challenge and I am curious if anyone gave it a serious shot. It is actually very hard to get a "mistake free" month, but the very act of giving it a conscious try will make that month way more productive than average. Keep in mind that you play this game by your own rules and definitions. Failing could be eating crappy food, wasting half your day, drinking, or failing to make that one appointment. It really depends on what you think about when you seriously ask yourself what the most stupid things are that you are doing on a regular basis.
Isn't he describing Lent?
It doesn't have to be a month, 21 days, or 1.5 lunar cycles , and you've won. I've done it , and then relapsed, kinda cyclical, but the relapse and indulgence span get shorter and shorter - rising early, timely meals, adequate sleep, #nofap, no sugar, no caffeine, social network content consuming timed and limited to 2 hrs a week...
I've been running things slow, trying to do one or two things a day.
Roughly at 2 weeks now. Lil over.
Got my room a bit more organized. Couple more things to do.
Significantly dropped caffeine and thc intake. Working on lowering nicotine and sugar as well.
Closer to 3 weeks actually, because I got a solid 2 weeks in doing +1 pushups each morning (started 5 mon, 6 tues, 7 weds, etc). Made it to 20. Missed 21. Did 10 on '22'. Also got bike fixed then, so been more tired last couple days. Not getting rides to work.
Cleaning apt/room also help drop 'dead time' when I'm scrolling over the same shit on fb for 20 mins.
I dunno. It's a work in progress, but I'm digging it thus far.
Yeah tried that and am redoing it every few months. First days are hard, the next week is still hard, third week is bearable, final week it is ok. The benefits feel more and more as it comes closer to the end of the challenge month. Keeping a calendar ( by circling every day at the end) and keeping a diary helps alot.
For example for me that month consist of, no caffeine, no sugar, no junk food, no gluten, no indulgencies ( video games, youtube etc), no alchohol, no dairy. It is hard, but at the end of the month you feel like you actually have a control over your life. And if you chose to reintroduce stuff, if you are metodical, grateful and mindful about it it will help. But over time, such is the nature, one will spiral back sooner or later, that is where repeating the challenge after a few months come in place.
The cool thing about repeating it is that your body now knows the process and just accepts it.
The way to fill up the list of things you are going to stop doing is to be reasonable. Spend a month or so just calmly collectingthe things that "you should not do", the things that simply feel wrong, and then after a list is compiled just look over it and make a simpler reasonable list that you actually have a chance of following.
Final note, in order to prevent the "I'll start on monday, or I'll start on 1st" just make your own calendar that has 24-32 days in it that got nothing to do with the month or current day. For example last time I started thursday in the second week of the calendar month, and that was the first day in my calendar. This way you focus on whats important and that is actually going trough 24-32 days.
good luck
@@mbfun9298 True story: few months ago I wanted to start a task I was avoiding at exactly 19:00 it was, I think. So as I had my timer ready this happened: 18:59:58, 18:59:59 and then 19:01:00 and I was like WTF it skipped a minute. And from that moment I learned there's never a perfect moment. Don't wait for things to be perfect first. Just do it. My week starts on Wednesday.
I also have this list of things I should stop doing (similar items as yours) but it also includes things I should stop believing and saying. I consider the elements on this list as ''my dead woods that need to burn off'' referring to what JP said about self-transformation. And yes, you need to be methodical about it. You need to keep score, physically. You need to know when you are off course and you need to know why. Are you failing because you are setting the weekly targets too high and thus playing the tyrant OR.. have you not specified your aims and kept them foggy and as a result you don't follow through on your plans? Or is the why just not strong enough? Maybe you're not doing it for yourself but to please others? Are there any short-term benefits / rewards to be gained for your efforts to keep you going, day in day out, or is everything due some distant ''a year from now'' which allows you to procrastinate for 11 months? Are there any obstacles and temptations like alcohol / drugs / women / youtube that could sabotage your progress and should be removed right now? Do you need to walk away from a relationship / friendships permanently or temporarily to sort yourself out? The things need to be addressed and integrated in the framework. I am now 2,5 months in and my benefits are: smarter and learn things quicker, more focused, higher awareness, more decisive / courageous, (more) disciplined, more confident, less stressed and anxious, better memory, more organized and more energized. If you're interested, we could be accountabuddies to hold each other accountable and motivated and share some ideas.
Well...the most stupid thing I do is that I don't do anything.
Ahmar Khan time to stop doing nothing for a month. Make sure that every day you did at least one useful thing, no matter how big or small. Before the end of the day do at least 1 small thing that contributes to your life in some way, and more important of all be thankful that you at least did something that day.
Then do something mate
Lmao, this is like the anti-challenge challenge
Everything is a chain reaction. Just fix one thing.
I think church leaders that genuinely want to help their congregation need to make a point of regularly listening to Dr. Peterson.
What I mean by this is a little less focus on the spiritualism/mysticism and more practical application and philosophy contained in their canon.
Is Dr. Peterson is sad, many people to come to him have told him that it’s as if he is saying things they have known all their life, it’s just he’s putting it in a way they can understand that’s applicable.
A problem is, Jordan Peterson will be outed as a "Christian Atheist", which is, essentially what he is. Without the dogma, afterlife and and false certainty he's not getting invited everywhere.
Thanks Jordan Peterson.
My room is clean. I've stopped saying stupid things. And I'm out of stupid things to stop doing.
I need to do this, and my mind is flooding with reasons why now is not a good time to do it. In saying that, I'm knowing full well I'm making excuses to myself.
Darren Jones is there anything that you actually would stop doing? That you wouldn't make an excuse for?
Aym I that's a great question. Yes there is.
How do I stop watching UA-cam videos?
I like to just listen to UA-cam videos with headphones while I do something productive. That limits it to only talks and interviews, but I am fine with that.
unsub all the stupid channels, and remove the app from your phone.
MrMarbles0Xecution: or just create a crap free youtube account without addictive, time demanding content, unless it is like it has been said above, something you can listening while you clean up your room
Go clean your room, it will give you something to do instead.
As soon as you're done the video, immediately shut down your computer and do something!
I’m in!
You understimate my stupidity, Dr. Peterson
TOP
I’m watching Jordan Peterson everyday for a month
Just pick the low hanging fruit and start from there. I started with stopping to fail to get the mail at least once per week. Then pick something higher on the tree of stupidity. Baby steps, one step at a time. That what he encourages. Pick something just outside your grasp and reach for it. My next will be to quit smoking.
It’s October 1st... time to start
Clean your room. I clean my room. You clean your room.
Is there a video of the complete speech he gave that day?
Immediately after watching this video
I dropped my one stupid thing that I had planned to commit tomorrow
watching insta gram reels and making them, socializing , snapchat (-streak pic) when i should be finishing my notes.
I know what not to do....doh!
NoNutNovember
Uhhhhh. Wow this is directly aimed at me...
Stop Stupid September
c=3
Where are those bible phrases from? can pleas someone tell me
I challenge JP to not say stupid things for a DAY.
This is a challenge he will *NEVER* overcome.
#Booftidepods2018
tbh, its incredibly hard to literally dont do any stupid things for a month... technically eating just 1 cookie at day 26 makes you fail this challenge..
Stop going to Starbucks
Did he not talk for a month... i'd imagine he failed.
Did Peterson stop speaking for month?
Summary: clean your room
Gaming included?
I think so if you feel it is a bad habit
Video games are only harmful if you prioritise them above important things.
Video games are certainly a lot of fun, but they are not _important_ - you don't actually _need_ them. So you should only play video games and do other recreational activities when you have finished your important tasks.
What if you are stupid?
So my "stupid thing" is spending gobs of time in my head having an epic love affair with JP. Should I stop doing this......😈
Crystal Dennis what unit of measure would gobs fall under?
Too esoteric? Well perhaps it's a term known only to the most hardcore of us maladaptive daydreamers.
What the hell man you’re too sick
@@1jw298 bruhhh
JP is getting aggressive by the video
First :)
Crafty Craff as my 11 year old says, "first is worst, second is best"!
William Fusco Well my two year-old infant says that the second is a liar and thrid is always the best
What if you don't know the stupid things that you're doing are
One way to identify it is by checking if you often feel bad after doing something or if someone else gets hurt by your actions.
having an imaginary friend on your side isn't going to do anything for you ..
I suggest you leave your phantasmic friend then.

Well this didnt age well
Interesting that the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him became a Prophet at 40.
Jordan Peterson forever earning the title, "Stupid man's smart man."
Healthy Fatima And this is the stupid person's unoriginal comment.
Healthy Fatima You sound paranoid and delusional. I pray you seek help with whatever mental issues you may have and that you straighten your life out. It'd probably help to stay off of certain parts of the internet for a while. I hope you don't let all of that negativity and delusion swallow you because I've seen what It does to people.
Healthy Fatima Get yourself a psychiatrist right now. You're not sane.
Delusional, but who eats corpse and breastfeeds from cows? Not Fatima. Jajaja
Just a troll. Move along.
too late, I already watched this jordan peterson video.
