I noticed this too. Really amazing. I was leading a meeting the other day day and I was um, um all over the place. should have done toastmasters lol. Also I love The Behavior Panel
Hi Chase. Thanks so so much for referencing Dr. Andrew Huberman and “hacking your behavior”. What a gift to us all! I now watch his Monday neuroscience based videos faithfully. Someone interviewing him asked how he got involved in working w Special Forces or other elite military groups and he very cryptically described “a person” who was doing some research who had sought him out... Bingo. Wish you had a weekly video too! He’s not the only person I’ve brought into my world based on listening to your videos and reading your books. This video is one of my favorite videos you’ve done so far. Thanks again

Just read your comment. And I wanted to say that I hope you are at least ok no matter what, ok is good. And somehow we mostly all care at least a little that everyone else is alright and ok, even just a little. 😊
I would love to say I’m ready, but I know why I’m not. It has taken me nearly 30 years to figure out that having DID is causing this overwhelming stop. For everyone who as asked or encouraged I am ok. I have a safe home and very supportive husband. He just built me a privacy fence and widened my flower garden.

Sorry, but what the uncredited Peter Drucker actually wrote was: “What gets measured gets managed.” But what numerous social scientists, best-of-class business managers, and TED talkers have pointed out is, that;s due largely to the fact that we incent management with improvements on specific measures. AND, they have all gone further to point out that the statement, "you cannot manage what you cannot measure", is a completely false corollary. In fact, in real life as opposed to Wall Street, humans MOSTLY manage what we cannot measure, as did our ancestors before us, for millennia before we evolved a capacity for maths. There is a lot of pseudo-measuring in the world, in the attempt to be what such an assumption demands. The pain scale would be such a blurry measure. Aristotle wrote quite a bit on managing things we cannot measure, such as good judgement, character, courage, love, and even what Chase calls a "gut feeling". There is another saying in businesses that cultivate loyalty, and care more about people than making everything about profit: "Some of the most important things in life cannot be measured." Like one person's effect on language change. Like the exact value of remembering a regular customer's birthday. Or the exact affect placing profit over people has, like the VW diesel scandal.

Awareness doesn't demand measurement; change doesn't demand awareness (which is why hypnosis & conditioning work). Chase is doing some awesome work, but every writer already knows to show & not tell, people of science don't take Gladwell to be a scientist because of his musings about science, and, social scientists and evolutionary scientists pretty much consider "evolutionary psychology" to be a pseudo-science at best, and otherwise impossible.

What surprises me every time i watch these videos you do Chase.. It all so damn simple. My life is changing and i can literally see the change. You are AWESOME!
Love this! Great advice. It also helps to TALK to my future self and THANK my past self - it solidifies the pattern in my brain. For example, I'll say "Thank you Last-night-Jennifer for setting up the coffee!" My mom always said in order to complete a task successfully, there are four phases: idea, plan, execution, and acknowledgement. And many people forget the acknowledgement, even if it's just thanking yourself for it.
Jennifer, that’s a wonderful idea! We’re so quick to acknowledge others on their accomplishments and successes, why do we continually put ourselves last, if ever at all! I’ve started thanking myself only a couple of weeks ago and I’ve noticed the negative self talk has started to decrease. Thank you for this gentle reminder. ✨
That reminds me of Snoop dogg thanking himself, when he received Hollywood Star! Also we often talk much nicer to Our friends than we talk to ourselves.... something i am trying to change
As a 66 yr old woman, I am convinced that if I looked at my “90 year old self” I would begin to act 90! I have started acting older since I let my hair go grey. I feel 10 years older.
I started going gray in my 20's and I get so many compliments, lol... but I know what you mean. I'm 65 now, my friends are all starting new careers, doing marathons, I have to do something so I don't feel so old!!!!! NOT marathons...they can have those.
So, when I gave up smoking in 1971 cold turkey, at a bad time in my life, I now realize I was agitating myself out of some level of depression. It worked and I've never smoked since that day, and things improved. Thanks for the explanation of how that works!
Hi Chase. Your book,, "The Ellipses Manual" is the best book I have ever read. Clear, concise and without fluff. You are a brilliant facilitator and very practical. Thanks a stack.
Chase, your podcasts and The Behavior Panel help to make the internet more wholesome and worthwhile. Thank you, and may God bless you and the splendid work you are doing.
I love the concept of "future-self care" It makes sense, but it's definitely a novel way of looking at changing in the present - definitely a game changer.
Dr Joe Dispenza says "neurons that fire together wire together" .....I believe that's the quote. I love it because it rhymes and I guess it stuck so I recognized what you were saying in this video.
Chase is the truth! I'm changing careers and going back to school. There are so many ways that I have become complacent with bad habits, and now all of these habits have to go so that I can be successful in the next chapter of my life. I will probably watch this several times. Thanks Chase! much needed
As a kid raised in an environment of neglect, impulsivity (get while the getting is good) and shortened time frames (I just need to get through the next ___ (day, 20 minutes, et al) were my animal survivial technique til I was able to frame my own resourcefulness to create discipline and habits that would get me to a self-reliant stability. The inverse is also true-a “new environment” can also tear down in moments a habit that took years to establish. I’m really old and I’m still wrangling with that-having had one career completely bottom out and having to build a completely new one at the age of 42. 12 years later, the old discipline on building new habits serves well but it is just as uncomfortable.
@@Mercuryrulz268 sending strength and positive prayer (how ever you want to frame that) your way as you forge ahead. Poco a poco siamo arrivati. Remain strong and fearless!
You know, often these struggles are a marker of ADHD... it would be a good idea to get some info on it and mentally compare those to your experience of yourself and how you reliably know that you would act or react in certain conditions, and if you find many overlaps, get assessed and medicated. Best wishes!
I so needed this, I tend to have a goal get half way too goal then, go off the rails and find so hard too get focus back, so thankyou I'll give this a shot 👍☺️🙏
Dr. Peterson talks about this with a similar behavioral architecture, great minds think alike. His basic point was you need to not only think about how great it would be to achieve this goal but you have to scare yourself by picturing your life if you slack off and don't do any of it because with hope pulling you forward and fear pushing you forward your alot more likely to not procrastinate.
Chase is not robotic in his life, he usually has this tinkle in his eye, his sense of fun is always ready and now I know why. He is making a connection with his animal brain, looking to make it real emotionally.
I have learned so much from the behavior panel. Today I weighed myself and felt sadness, aggravation and self pity because I gained back my wait. At 63 I want more for myself but never thought about serving my future self! I am a nurse and have served many needy humans but not this one! Thank you for providing me with new tools. Since I was 55, I have learned to down hill ski, how to box and race cars. I am working part time for the first time in my life. But my weight has been my personal failure. Thank you again!
Delayed gratification and setting goals to orient your life really reminds me of Jordan Peterson. Nice to see experts agree on these things across platforms.
Incidentally, I just “discovered” The Behavior Panel a month ago. Since then, I have your “Chase Hughes Collected Works” on Amazon Kindle, “Six-Minute X-Ray” on Amazon Audible,, and have ordered the paperback of “”The Ellipsis Manuel,” which will arrive Saturday. I’m an 81 year old retired school teacher. The old adage, “You’re never too old to learn and/or change.” is really true. I think that’s one of the reasons I’m still kicking. Love learning. Thanks again for what you are accomplishing for so many people. You really are an admirable individual.
Interestingly I have had issues with my self-esteem through my teenage years and early adulthood. This was back in the 80s and 90s. So I began to tell myself to be gentle with me. As certain experiences began to surprise me and hit me like a mother trucker just when I had started to enter my forties I began to look at that me; and she has saved me from a topic covered before, hatred. Can't deny that I've battle with the feeling of hating all and everybody around me when I was pushed into a s@*! hole. But like with any addict's story the rode to recovery starts by admitting the problem. Notwithstanding, I need to clean my journal first and afterwards start writing my goals,, but God willing (I believe I'm not just flesh & bone), I'll get there. I'm paying close attention to all you're sharing Chase. I do think for this to happen now has never had better timing. Thanks!
I love Chase's passion and how he shares such incredible insights. Just accountability to the future self. Wow. *edited to add (in 2023)- I was searching for this video of Chase's because I wanted to share it with someone, and I saw I left a comment!🤣 Hey past self, thanks for watching this!💞
Hughes speaking is impeccable!!! My favorite speech club - Santa Monica Club 21 would be impressed. Now, to take up Mr. Hughes' advice, today I'm tricking my "animal brain" into doing physical exercise! I'm going to use my "mom's walker" to walk to my recumbent exercise bike! This technique will remind me to stay as healthy as possible - for as long as possible!
This is what I’ve been needing for years. I kept thinking there’s no reason I can’t achieve better physical and mental health. I’ve had a lot of issues with anxiety, depression and dysfunctional or codependent behaviors. I have a strong desire to understand how to change and come to an understanding of myself and others. I think this will help me a lot because it shows how to begin the process.
Thank you for taking the woo woo out of the vision boards that the "gurus" keep telling us to make. I'd given up on them. Now I know how to make one. I'll try it again. Thanks.
Thank you so much for sharing your absolutely amazing knowledge! I love the tone of your voice as well:) By the way, I'm totally hooked on The Behavior panel!
That future self part really hit home. Never heard anyone present the benefits of exercising like that. A big thank you, will be following and recommending both your channels. 🙏
Brian Tracy is a personal development author and i love how he talks about how words like lazy or greedy are not necessarily bad, ie, lazy is how people come up with great inventions and greed is how we get up and go work so we can eat and have things. brainwashing is the same. i like to listen to channels like entrance on here they have self-hypnosis/meditations that help reprogram our brains.
Found you from the Behavioral Panel. I totally needed this - thanks, Chase! The reminders are so important. I am always so motivated … for about a day. Then I wake up the next day… and go back to my “normal.”. Tracking and journaling are important. It also serves as a tool for focus and repetition. I just need to do it!
Wow Chase, you‘re really great at explaining behavior in an understandable and very positive way. Since my daughter is 16 months old and I still haven’t found back to good nutrition, sports or my inspiration for painting, I’m at a point in my life where I need to take responsibility for my future self because I kind of lost myself in being a mother. I will try your worksheet tomorrow and start implementing your task for the month in thanking my past self. Thank you very much!
I’m new to this way of thinking. It’s really opening my eyes to new and better possibilities. I passed this along to my sister. You’re changing entire families for the better. Thank you Chase.
Thank you for this wonderful resource! I’ve always tried to set goals that are attainable but end up abandoning them mid stream and have pretty much been a ‘fly by the seat of my pants’ kind of gal. The simple tips you give for really setting goals and attaining them are totally do-able. I know I’ll be watching this and your other videos multiple times as well as purchasing your books!
Whenerver you start speaking holdind a pen ... we all know you are really excited about teaching something worth taking notice. Thanks for charing your knowledge. It's really kind and I just love the content. What (more) have you got , Chase? 😉
@@chasehughesofficial It makes me wonder if you're ambidextrous. You drink with your left most often, but your pen goes from hand to hand....and I've never seen you catch anything...other that Scott's green-eyed ire! P.S. I'm a leftie & ex-Navy, so things onboard being arranged for right-handers, was a pet peeve. I don't spend my life seeking out the sacred 10%, honest. 😂😊 P.P.S. Dang it, I just saw you write with your right. You're not one of us! lol.
thank you so much for your expertise. Now i am going to be paranoid the rest of my life, lmao. Seriously though, hear me out. I had a car accident when i was 18. I am 48 and still suffer from the brain damage the accident caused such as severe memory loss, blackouts, migraines, and many others. I feel like this episode might give me hope again. I was diagnosed with a Personality Disorder, Bi-Polar, manic depressent with anxiety and PTSD. WTF. I dont know how to set goals and actually achieve them. I can't remember my anniversary date. or my college graduation date. I have been in therapy for a long time and I just don't know where to turn anymore. Thanks for the rant because its the first one in too long
So Chase, I watched this a while back and thought “I got this”. My inconsistency with exercise I thought was struggling with Repetition. After I rewatched tonight, I realize I need to work on Emotional Involvement. I took notes and downloaded worksheet. FYI I did have the focus and I mixed things up. Lesson learned.
I have been struggling with my depression and health/weight for years. And I have failed so many times, each failure added to my “load” as I call it. This video has given me insight on the function of the brain - something no diet or mental healthcare plan has ever included. I’m going to give it go. Thank you for sharing. Your information and the work behind that is much appreciated 😊
Your ideas about delaying gratification remind me of the saying "the lust for comfort murders the passions of the soul, then goes grinning at the funeral." Thank you for sharing your very thoughtful advise! 😊
Thank you, Chase; you've been a blessing to me today! I have stopped working out because I thought of my health going downhill! Doesn't make sense to me after watching this! I was wallowing in self-pity! I will get back to you after my major surgery this year!
"When your brain realizes something is important to you it looks all over for it" is so incredibly true. When I quit smoking (cold turkey after 20 years), that was when I realized that among the other awful parts about it was that I never realized how much of my time and mind was occupied by being obsessed with figuring out the next time I would be able to smoke (even when I was having a smoke at that moment).
Thanks Chase, great advice. Regarding neural pathways and new ways of thinking, I like the cornfield analogy I once heard. The first time you walk through a cornfield, it’s tough as you trample down the corn. The second time is still tough and hard to traverse. The 10th time the path is there, clear, walkable and with ease.
MY UK military training was great discipline in my life in all areas. I was a Meterorologist and most of it was Learning by repetition daily repetition. I worked out daily it became habit. 👌
Chase changing lives... thanks for helping us reset our brains, yes ok, tricking them ... into healthier practices.. but for me, simply the knowledge why our brain operates as it does & makes us think the way we do.. especially around my own anxiety. I really appreciate the energy & drive you put into your TH-cam content, especially imparting all your detailed knowledge.. as you’ll be a super busy chap.. its a game changer for me. Thank you.. You rock man 🤟
This is SO AWESOME! It all makes sense! Grrrrrr...I'm an animal! No seriously, I am going to rock when I become my future self! This pandemic shifted my focus, I have PTSD and I'm Bipolar, so it is Imperative to my survival to stay focused on staying positive. As an artist my art is my therapy, but when I'm overeating and staying up till 4am watching the Behavior Panel, I'm not creating!!😁 I forgot how I lost 70 pounds: I didn't understand it the way you teach it, but I had great habits. Pain is a huge motivator for me, due to my being put together with titanium. I don't want to be an old granny-I want to be Jane Fonda! Or Racquel...or that future cool me!Thank you Chase!🤗
Chase, this was great. Thanks so much for explaining things so simply and for making complex topics feel within grasp. Can you do a video about treating your brain right? How do you help your brain be/ stay healthy? How do you provide the mental stability and clarity needed for creating new content?
Great job! I love what you´re doing. Watched all of your videos since i found them. Especially the behavior panel is the best channel ever. You guys work so well together, it makes my day. On this video i´m flabbergasted again how huge similarities there are between neuroscience and spiritual teachings. awesome. thanks from germany.
This is eye opening. Talking about the animal brain. Do you happen to have any videos on special needs kids/people that are sensory seekers? I’d love some insight on that subject.
Thank you so much for this video. I have watched it several times, and probably will watch many more times. I'm making a commitment to myself for 2021; no more neglecting my future self. It makes so much sense when you hear it. Thank you
So glad I found this guy! Very knowledgeable, very helpful for us in our everyday lives. I love that he imparts his knowledge to us, and his wonderful videos are all for free. Thanks so much, Chase!
I’ve recently discovered this channel and Chase’s work. This short video, the explanation, it’s purpose, the steps, the actions and the advice has lit a much needed spark in my life. Thank you! I’m now really looking to meeting my future self!
Thank you so much for your wisdom and insight Chase. This stuff is right there in front of me but I didn't realize it. I've even tapped in and used it before unaware of exactly what I was doing. What you shared here is life-altering for those that want to change but seem to keep doing the same old thing. Thank you and be healthy and prosper.
Watching this I feel so inspired! Thank you for the educational information. I have ADHD and trouble focusing, and something about the way you communicate makes it very easy (and pleasant) to follow along with. I guess that makes sense given what you do haha! Thank you again, I really think these tips are going to help me achieve some personal goals, which I struggle with on the regular. It really is great when people like you share this information for free online because it is invaluable.
This is by far, one of the best motivational/life changing talks I ever watch. I'm questioning myself, how many times I had neglected the future me. Many thanks!

My mom always said in order to complete a task successfully, there are four phases: idea, plan, execution, and acknowledgement. And many people forget the acknowledgement, even if it's just thanking yourself for it.
HELL YEAH! I do It too but left it out of the video for some reason.
Jennifer, that’s a wonderful idea! We’re so quick to acknowledge others on their accomplishments and successes, why do we continually put ourselves last, if ever at all!
I’ve started thanking myself only a couple of weeks ago and I’ve noticed the negative self talk has started to decrease.
Thank you for this gentle reminder. ✨
Brilliant! Thanks for the tip.
Highly underrated. Did you know it's impossible to maintain a negative pattern of thoughts while feeling grateful?
That reminds me of Snoop dogg thanking himself, when he received Hollywood Star!
Also we often talk much nicer to Our friends than we talk to ourselves.... something i am trying to change
I could listen to Chase all day. During Behavior Panel, I'm always anticipating that input most.
But- you need action next;-)😆
true! 😅.@@makaylahollywood3677
As a 66 yr old woman, I am convinced that if I looked at my “90 year old self” I would begin to act 90! I have started acting older since I let my hair go grey. I feel 10 years older.
I started going gray in my 20's and I get so many compliments, lol... but I know what you mean. I'm 65 now, my friends are all starting new careers, doing marathons, I have to do something so I don't feel so old!!!!! NOT marathons...they can have those.
So, when I gave up smoking in 1971 cold turkey, at a bad time in my life, I now realize I was agitating myself out of some level of depression.
It worked and I've never smoked since that day, and things improved.
Thanks for the explanation of how that works!
Wow! Fascinating. Thanks for sharing
I love the way Chase uses his knowledge & words to help us.
Hi Chase. Your book,, "The Ellipses Manual" is the best book I have ever read. Clear, concise and without fluff. You are a brilliant facilitator and very practical. Thanks a stack.
Wow! Thanks so much!
"without fluff" = brilliantly put!
It is a fine publication; I use Chase's tenets outlined there almost daily in teaching my high school art students. Bravo, Mr. Hughes!
@@chasehughesofficial I'm trying to decide between the ellipses manual and the 5-minute x-ray, is there one you would recommend first?
"And the reason I wanna do this....
Coz I'm Chase and I'm awesome" ❤❤❤ Thanks Chase
Chase, your podcasts and The Behavior Panel help to make the internet more wholesome and worthwhile. Thank you, and may God bless you and the splendid work you are doing.
I love the concept of "future-self care" It makes sense, but it's definitely a novel way of looking at changing in the present - definitely a game changer.
People like you Chase Hughes, is the reason I love the internet! So helpful, thank you and Happy New Year!
Found your video via The Behavioral Panel. I can apply this knowledge to something in my life right now. Thanks!
I’m watching, listening and as an early childhood professional, we always say neurons that fire together, wire together.
Dr Joe Dispenza says "neurons that fire together wire together" .....I believe that's the quote. I love it because it rhymes and I guess it stuck so I recognized what you were saying in this video.
Chase is the truth! I'm changing careers and going back to school. There are so many ways that I have become complacent with bad habits, and now all of these habits have to go so that I can be successful in the next chapter of my life. I will probably watch this several times. Thanks Chase! much needed
Just "a teaspoon of discipline" to develop a habit. Brilliant! I never heard that before.
As a kid raised in an environment of neglect, impulsivity (get while the getting is good) and shortened time frames (I just need to get through the next ___ (day, 20 minutes, et al) were my animal survivial technique til I was able to frame my own resourcefulness to create discipline and habits that would get me to a self-reliant stability. The inverse is also true-a “new environment” can also tear down in moments a habit that took years to establish. I’m really old and I’m still wrangling with that-having had one career completely bottom out and having to build a completely new one at the age of 42. 12 years later, the old discipline on building new habits serves well but it is just as uncomfortable.
Wow. Thanks for this comment. Really helped. I’m restarting my business at 63
But i especially related to the impulsivity part which gets me in trouble again and again. Your get while the getting is good is eye opeming.
@@Mercuryrulz268 sending strength and positive prayer (how ever you want to frame that) your way as you forge ahead. Poco a poco siamo arrivati. Remain strong and fearless!
Don’t blame others it’s your life. You are the director of your movie.
You know, often these struggles are a marker of ADHD... it would be a good idea to get some info on it and mentally compare those to your experience of yourself and how you reliably know that you would act or react in certain conditions, and if you find many overlaps, get assessed and medicated. Best wishes!
I so needed this, I tend to have a goal get half way too goal then, go off the rails and find so hard too get focus back, so thankyou I'll give this a shot 👍☺️🙏
I'm all about self improvement
I cant get enough of you and the panel -- absolutely amazing!
I had this on while sleeping. Woke up thinking I was a firetruck.
You are the very best. You’re also a gift. Please keep us posted on how you were doing this world. This world needs your bright light.
I just fell in love with his voice 😍
Love listening to him.
Totally needed to hear this! "Future self-neglect!" Makes a lot of practical sense. I'm going to work on this starting today:) Thanks!
Dr. Peterson talks about this with a similar behavioral architecture, great minds think alike. His basic point was you need to not only think about how great it would be to achieve this goal but you have to scare yourself by picturing your life if you slack off and don't do any of it because with hope pulling you forward and fear pushing you forward your alot more likely to not procrastinate.
Chase is not robotic in his life, he usually has this tinkle in his eye, his sense of fun is always ready and now I know why. He is making a connection with his animal brain, looking to make it real emotionally.
@@timlewis7218 -- thank you for the chuckle
I have learned so much from the behavior panel. Today I weighed myself and felt sadness, aggravation and self pity because I gained back my wait. At 63 I want more for myself but never thought about serving my future self! I am a nurse and have served many needy humans but not this one! Thank you for providing me with new tools. Since I was 55, I have learned to down hill ski, how to box and race cars. I am working part time for the first time in my life. But my weight has been my personal failure. Thank you again!
Delayed gratification and setting goals to orient your life really reminds me of Jordan Peterson. Nice to see experts agree on these things across platforms.
Incidentally, I just “discovered” The Behavior Panel a month ago. Since then, I have your “Chase Hughes Collected Works” on Amazon Kindle, “Six-Minute X-Ray” on Amazon Audible,, and have ordered the paperback of “”The Ellipsis Manuel,” which will arrive Saturday. I’m an 81 year old retired school teacher. The old adage, “You’re never too old to learn and/or change.” is really true. I think that’s one of the reasons I’m still kicking. Love learning. Thanks again for what you are accomplishing for so many people. You really are an admirable individual.
I'm 85 YO and I feel the same way. How great is that!
I'm so excited for your content and channel. All the best Chase, you deserve every success. 😊
Interestingly I have had issues with my self-esteem through my teenage years and early adulthood. This was back in the 80s and 90s. So I began to tell myself to be gentle with me. As certain experiences began to surprise me and hit me like a mother trucker just when I had started to enter my forties I began to look at that me; and she has saved me from a topic covered before, hatred. Can't deny that I've battle with the feeling of hating all and everybody around me when I was pushed into a s@*! hole. But like with any addict's story the rode to recovery starts by admitting the problem. Notwithstanding, I need to clean my journal first and afterwards start writing my goals,, but God willing (I believe I'm not just flesh & bone), I'll get there. I'm paying close attention to all you're sharing Chase. I do think for this to happen now has never had better timing. Thanks!
I love Chase's passion and how he shares such incredible insights. Just accountability to the future self. Wow.
*edited to add (in 2023)- I was searching for this video of Chase's because I wanted to share it with someone, and I saw I left a comment!🤣 Hey past self, thanks for watching this!💞
Hughes speaking is impeccable!!! My favorite speech club - Santa Monica Club 21 would be impressed. Now, to take up Mr. Hughes' advice, today I'm tricking my "animal brain" into doing physical exercise! I'm going to use my "mom's walker" to walk to my recumbent exercise bike! This technique will remind me to stay as healthy as possible - for as long as possible!
This is what I’ve been needing for years. I kept thinking there’s no reason I can’t achieve better physical and mental health. I’ve had a lot of issues with anxiety, depression and dysfunctional or codependent behaviors. I have a strong desire to understand how to change and come to an understanding of myself and others. I think this will help me a lot because it shows how to begin the process.
Tremendous content for a 17-minute presentation. I plan to watch this video several more times to engrain it into my mind. Thank you, Chase!!!
This has been the most helpful video I’ve EVER watched! I really appreciate all of your help!!
Thank you for taking the woo woo out of the vision boards that the "gurus" keep telling us to make. I'd given up on them. Now I know how to make one. I'll try it again. Thanks.
Thank you so much for sharing your absolutely amazing knowledge! I love the tone of your voice as well:) By the way, I'm totally hooked on The Behavior panel!
Okay! I’m in. Perfect timing for me. Going to use this wisdom in continuing no smoking; on day four.
~be kind to your future self~
Congratulations! Wishing you success. You can do this.
Congrates! Keep up the good work!
Awesome. You’ll get it done! Your future self will take you on a date for it.
Thanks everyone.
Chase Hughes, you mentioned a link in the comments...I'm not seeing it. Can you repost. Thanks
That future self part really hit home. Never heard anyone present the benefits of exercising like that. A big thank you, will be following and recommending both your channels. 🙏
I woke up this morning thinking about changing my future and saw this video thank you
Energy flows where attention goes⚘
Brian Tracy is a personal development author and i love how he talks about how words like lazy or greedy are not necessarily bad, ie, lazy is how people come up with great inventions and greed is how we get up and go work so we can eat and have things. brainwashing is the same. i like to listen to channels like entrance on here they have self-hypnosis/meditations that help reprogram our brains.
Found you from the Behavioral Panel. I totally needed this - thanks, Chase! The reminders are so important. I am always so motivated … for about a day. Then I wake up the next day… and go back to my “normal.”.
Tracking and journaling are important. It also serves as a tool for focus and repetition. I just need to do it!
Wow Chase, you‘re really great at explaining behavior in an understandable and very positive way. Since my daughter is 16 months old and I still haven’t found back to good nutrition, sports or my inspiration for painting, I’m at a point in my life where I need to take responsibility for my future self because I kind of lost myself in being a mother. I will try your worksheet tomorrow and start implementing your task for the month in thanking my past self. Thank you very much!
Chase, you never cease to amaze me! Thank you! This is the most valuable thing I have watched in a long time.
What a perfect time for me to hear this. Thank you so much.
Absolutely powerful info here @chase hughes! Thank you.
Thanks so much!
Watching this 3 years later, great video
I’m new to this way of thinking. It’s really opening my eyes to new and better possibilities.
I passed this along to my sister. You’re changing entire families for the better.
Thank you Chase.
I could listen to this guy every minute of the day 😊
Thank you for this wonderful resource! I’ve always tried to set goals that are attainable but end up abandoning them mid stream and have pretty much been a ‘fly by the seat of my pants’ kind of gal. The simple tips you give for really setting goals and attaining them are totally do-able. I know I’ll be watching this and your other videos multiple times as well as purchasing your books!
We, who watch and listen, all thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Whenerver you start speaking holdind a pen ... we all know you are really excited about teaching something worth taking notice.
Thanks for charing your knowledge. It's really kind and I just love the content.
What (more) have you got , Chase? 😉
It's my subtle cue to write stuff down. No idea if it works, but I tell myself it does.
@@chasehughesofficial It makes me wonder if you're ambidextrous. You drink with your left most often, but your pen goes from hand to hand....and I've never seen you catch anything...other that Scott's green-eyed ire!
P.S. I'm a leftie & ex-Navy, so things onboard being arranged for right-handers, was a pet peeve. I don't spend my life seeking out the sacred 10%, honest. 😂😊
P.P.S. Dang it, I just saw you write with your right. You're not one of us! lol.
thank you so much for your expertise. Now i am going to be paranoid the rest of my life, lmao. Seriously though, hear me out. I had a car accident when i was 18. I am 48 and still suffer from the brain damage the accident caused such as severe memory loss, blackouts, migraines, and many others. I feel like this episode might give me hope again. I was diagnosed with a Personality Disorder, Bi-Polar, manic depressent with anxiety and PTSD. WTF. I dont know how to set goals and actually achieve them. I can't remember my anniversary date. or my college graduation date. I have been in therapy for a long time and I just don't know where to turn anymore. Thanks for the rant because its the first one in too long
Outstanding ❣️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 love your videos 🌻
Moving the furniture around is so refreshing!
So Chase, I watched this a while back and thought “I got this”.
My inconsistency with exercise I thought was struggling with Repetition. After I rewatched tonight, I realize I need to work on Emotional Involvement. I took notes and downloaded worksheet. FYI I did have the focus and I mixed things up. Lesson learned.
So many nuggets of wisdom here. Thank you!
Self-love = self-control⚘
I have been struggling with my depression and health/weight for years. And I have failed so many times, each failure added to my “load” as I call it. This video has given me insight on the function of the brain - something no diet or mental healthcare plan has ever included. I’m going to give it go. Thank you for sharing. Your information and the work behind that is much appreciated 😊
Yes, "Be your future self butler"
Your ideas about delaying gratification remind me of the saying "the lust for comfort murders the passions of the soul, then goes grinning at the funeral." Thank you for sharing your very thoughtful advise! 😊
Thank you, Chase; you've been a blessing to me today! I have stopped working out because I thought of my health going downhill! Doesn't make sense to me after watching this! I was wallowing in self-pity! I will get back to you after my major surgery this year!
How are you?
I read your post and hope you are still encouraged 😍
@@mandychadwick6823 I'm doing well, thanks! Yes, I still am! Happy Easter!

"When your brain realizes something is important to you it looks all over for it" is so incredibly true. When I quit smoking (cold turkey after 20 years), that was when I realized that among the other awful parts about it was that I never realized how much of my time and mind was occupied by being obsessed with figuring out the next time I would be able to smoke (even when I was having a smoke at that moment).
Thanks Chase, great advice.
Regarding neural pathways and new ways of thinking, I like the cornfield analogy I once heard.
The first time you walk through a cornfield, it’s tough as you trample down the corn. The second time is still tough and hard to traverse. The 10th time the path is there, clear, walkable and with ease.
MY UK military training was great discipline in my life in all areas. I was a Meterorologist and most of it was Learning by repetition daily repetition. I worked out daily it became habit. 👌
Chase changing lives... thanks for helping us reset our brains, yes ok, tricking them ... into healthier practices.. but for me, simply the knowledge why our brain operates as it does & makes us think the way we do.. especially around my own anxiety. I really appreciate the energy & drive you put into your TH-cam content, especially imparting all your detailed knowledge.. as you’ll be a super busy chap.. its a game changer for me. Thank you.. You rock man 🤟
This is SO AWESOME! It all makes sense! Grrrrrr...I'm an animal! No seriously, I am going to rock when I become my future self! This pandemic shifted my focus, I have PTSD and I'm Bipolar, so it is Imperative to my survival to stay focused on staying positive. As an artist my art is my therapy, but when I'm overeating and staying up till 4am watching the Behavior Panel, I'm not creating!!😁 I forgot how I lost 70 pounds: I didn't understand it the way you teach it, but I had great habits. Pain is a huge motivator for me, due to my being put together with titanium. I don't want to be an old granny-I want to be Jane Fonda! Or Racquel...or that future cool me!Thank you Chase!🤗
“how do you show your dog the Taj Mahal?״
brilliant!
I watch you all the time on the behavioral panel...,I'm quitting smoking (tomorrow) and this is extremely helpful. TY Chase!
Chase, this was great. Thanks so much for explaining things so simply and for making complex topics feel within grasp. Can you do a video about treating your brain right? How do you help your brain be/ stay healthy? How do you provide the mental stability and clarity needed for creating new content?
Thanks Mia! Will do that. Great idea.
I love listening to this man. He is smart, communicates his thoughts with professionalism and is so effective. I learn a lot from him Thanks!
Great job! I love what you´re doing. Watched all of your videos since i found them. Especially the behavior panel is the best channel ever. You guys work so well together, it makes my day. On this video i´m flabbergasted again how huge similarities there are between neuroscience and spiritual teachings. awesome. thanks from germany.
Thanks so much!
This is eye opening. Talking about the animal brain. Do you happen to have any videos on special needs kids/people that are sensory seekers? I’d love some insight on that subject.
Thank you so much for this video. I have watched it several times, and probably will watch many more times. I'm making a commitment to myself for 2021; no more neglecting my future self. It makes so much sense when you hear it. Thank you
Thank you, Claire!
It was hard to keep under 20 minutes
@@chasehughesofficial Im sorry but the link does not seem to take me to a worksheet, am I doing something wrong?
Thank You Chase :)
Awesome advice, clear, it makes sense and you don't use fluffy words that really mean nothing.
So glad I found this guy! Very knowledgeable, very helpful for us in our everyday lives. I love that he imparts his knowledge to us, and his wonderful videos are all for free. Thanks so much, Chase!
I’ve recently discovered this channel and Chase’s work. This short video, the explanation, it’s purpose, the steps, the actions and the advice has lit a much needed spark in my life. Thank you! I’m now really looking to meeting my future self!
Thank you for putting these ideas in an easily comprehensive format...FEAR.
Thank you so much for your wisdom and insight Chase. This stuff is right there in front of me but I didn't realize it. I've even tapped in and used it before unaware of exactly what I was doing. What you shared here is life-altering for those that want to change but seem to keep doing the same old thing. Thank you and be healthy and prosper.
I have to loose some weight I never thought about my future self. But now now I think about my future self all the time now. THANKYOU
Watching this I feel so inspired! Thank you for the educational information. I have ADHD and trouble focusing, and something about the way you communicate makes it very easy (and pleasant) to follow along with. I guess that makes sense given what you do haha! Thank you again, I really think these tips are going to help me achieve some personal goals, which I struggle with on the regular. It really is great when people like you share this information for free online because it is invaluable.
This is by far, one of the best motivational/life changing talks I ever watch. I'm questioning myself, how many times I had neglected the future me. Many thanks!
