Yo people! Hope you enjoy this video. It's one I have wanted to make for a while, and one I don't think is really gonna break any records for views etc, but if you people who do watch it actually find it engaging then I will consider it well worth while. Also actually interested to hear your thoughts in response to that question I asked at the end. x
Less booze, more sleep and more nature for sure. Also appreciate the peep show meme used in this video. Ty mate x
Even though my previous comment didn't reflect this (get 1k likes), I really liked your video and I think it is always interesting to get to listen to thoughts of others, be it TH-camrs or people you meet in person.
@@rshird1 it's a tough one, booze can be your best friend or worst enemy.
Very interesting series on a _fascinating_ subject! Definately gonna watch!
My 3 things would be:
- less screen time,
- more time spent in nature,
- more frequent self reflection/"mind work".
>> tbh, i've already started this a few months back and do see the difference.
What’s the long sleeve shirt you’re wearing at 2:50?
Outstanding video, can’t wait for the deep dives into each category. My three:
- Mitigate work stress
- Weekly walks/hikes/bike rides with family
- Re-engage with weightlifting after 3 years absence… much shame
As a reflection on my 27 years of life, there is one distinct period of my life where I woke up feeling an overwhelming sense of optimism everyday (my most significant natural high).
By way of background, during said period I was getting little sleep (4-6h a night), no exercise, a roulette diet and spent weeks without being able to trust a fart. At the time I was 21 and working in Wuhan as an English teacher. I had a roommate and lived in a hotel with 6 colleagues. Personal time and space was at an absolute minimum, but I was the most socially active I'd ever been and felt incredibly close to those around me. Whilst it was difficult to navigate through my surroundings, people's attitude towards me was very open and complementary. Not knowing what to expect and choosing to embrace everything I faced meant every day was off the rails in some bizarre way.
Returning from chaos where I felt like a lynchpin to Manchester was a shock to the system, suddenly being on my own and unimportant. If anything it taught me to be self-reliant and follow my own path.
I doubt I'll ever recreate this setting. At the time I knew it was special. Constant unknown, learning, friends and interactions felt like the recipe for excitement, optimism and motivation.
Thanks for reading.
This is such a sick idea for a series. Really excited for this
This!
Less scrolling social media (delete TH-cam app on phone)
Meditation 10 min per day
Collaborative work - involve other people on almost every video project rather than going solo
if I remove the youtube app I wouldn't see this.. oh, wait. okay
@@deepfuchsia7204 I think the OP was specifically referring to YT on mobile devices. I guess it would be much healthier to confine social media consumption to laptop screen time.
Have watched your stuff for ages mate - good to see you here.
@@JoeDelaneyy woah crazy! big fan over here :)
A few months ago I thought: “ok I wanna be better so I’ll delete TH-cam on my phone.”
Two days later and i am on it again from the web browser on my phone. and still am. Man this is hard because you do a lot of stuff but nothing sparks as much dopamine as TH-cam
Mate, this is the best TH-cam concept I’ve ever seen. Just striving for the natural high and generally being happy is a focus everyone should strive for, and you present the journey in such a good way. Seeing you grow so much, really motivates and inspire us. So thanks for that. I’m really looking forward for this series!
3 changes I could make to reach the natural high:
1. Sleep more
2. Get better at time management
3. Prioritise time for creativity and hobbies i love doing
Joe. Been a follower since 2015 in the Delbros days. You're the only youtube who NEVER sacrifices content in favor of production value. In fact, you're the only one that his consistently improved in BOTH quality AND production value. If you look at others, they typically sacrifice one for the other and as the years go by give less quality and more production value. Thank you for always being real. The realest human bean. We love you. You're our hero.
Cringe 😬
@@jaydenminthorn7322 it is cringe but it's the truth.
It's not cringe to speak your mind bro.
How is this even cringe? Are you 12?
Obviously you haven't been on YT long enough and haven't seen other channels. There is plenty of high quality fitness channels out there that have been consistent throughout the years. Don't worry, we've all have been in out own little bubble at some point in our lives.
I have never ever in my life seen so much growth in an individual. The difference 5 years have made on this man are simply astonishing! JoeyD is the GOAT
This has peaked my interest. I’m in.
1. Alcohol reduction / removal
2. Walking in nature. 2 birds and all that.
3. More quality time with my kids. Always makes me feel better.
Likewise!
We must build a world where all of us live like this everyday.
The natural high: watching Joe D on a thursday
Peak human experience right there.
And smashing that like button
This got me rolling 🤣
It is me Joe D
holy shit I am watching this on a Thursday and just read this comment! :O
Editing is insane, would love to see more of these
1 - 30+ minutes daily meditation focusing on how your body feels and enhance the good feels dotted around it.
(Until you’ve done it, it’s hard to comprehend the subtle increase in general well-being)
2 - spend more time outside in light, especially in the mornings to help the circadian rhythm, as it helps with many process in the body and brain.
3 - diet, well balanced with a focus on good quality foods, fermented foods, and many fruit and veg
Somebody’s been listening to huberman
Running regularly for 30 min to 1 hour would be a vital addition. Never felt better.
And adequate amount of good quality sleep (7,5-9 hours and go to bed before 12 and wake up at the same time and go to bed at the same time)
What do you focus on in meditation?
Really interesting idea, one I’ve considered for a whole. Excited to see the videos in this series!
1. I had a life period when I felt litery high almost all the time. Sometimes I would just start to laugh for no reason just for the pure beauty of living. The secret is gratitude journal. 20-30 things to be grateful for written every morning and of course you need to feel true gratitude to single one of them, it's not just about writing stuff. And you should eventually practice gratitude during the day. I believe happiness is a skill not an asset.
2. As a Christian I often think of the idea of unconditional love towards others, seem kinda extreme. But I started to say "I love you" to every person I meet on the street, just in my mind of course. I look at their face and try to imagine that they are someone I truly love, my sister, brother, mother, father, best friend. Some faces induce thoughts of a bad person. I think: This fat guy should exercise more like I do. This lady looks so grumpy, she should be grateful like I am." etc. I try to kill my arrogance and ego and imagine what would I say to my fat brother or grumpy sister or hobo best friend. I would say I love you, no conditions, no arrogance. And you can imagine saying that to everyone. Very soul refreshing.
3. Many high achieving people have daily routine of self love, many are done in front of a mirror. This one is weird - Stand in front of a mirror a look yourself in the eyes and say "I love you" for two minutes straight every day. And mean it! You are not perfect, sometimes you are an ass, but you can still love yourself.
Preposition - happiness is a skill
1. Learn to love your life
2. Learn to love your neighbor
3. Learn to love yourself
Gotta say man you killed it with this comment
well said
@@robertjoycetraining3126 can't agree more!!
the Prophet has spoken
former christian here, i gotta say you took the best part of christianity and took it to heart, i love this idea
Love this, as it’s pretty much what I’m doing but without documenting it. Looking forward to seeing Joe’s difference, stage by stage.
Top 3 interventions in the pursuit of the natural high for me:
1.) Reducing alcohol / drug intake. This always messes up my sleep schedule and causes me to get poor sleep, which causes anxiety the following day from the lack of sleep and alcohol/drug come down.
2.) Improving sleep quality and quantity. This is directly affected by alcohol and drug intake, but also can be improved upon once the alcohol /drug part is taken care of. My peak performance is when I have between 8-9 hours of sleep.
3.) Focusing on the right things in life. For example, not doom scrolling on twitter or news outlets all day, not watching endless TH-cam videos all day, not watching porn and doing things that drive me forward towards my goals such as working on a business or going to the gym or socializing and meeting new people or traveling.
Diet has always come easy to me, but those three are the big ones for me to feel that peak natural high.
Diet is #4
You are what you eat.
How's that business going
Sick project man! I am looking forwards to watching this journey with you! Good luck!
Missed you Joey, hope you had a great vacation!
Music is massive for me. Bought a set of decks recently and focusing on mixes etc has improved my mental health a bit, in the same way that learning a new instrument would.
Awesome idea! Really looking forward to the upcoming videos 💪
Wow I'm half way through and... I love that you've captured the essence of what so many of us look for in our fitness journey, and I love that you've decided to delve into it. If Mad Max references aren't outdated yet... I am here to witness you
I also had to pause halfway through, no way I couldn't read the discussion.. Such a well put video
Yes Joey D!
Looking forward to seeing how this develops.
Diet, exercise and sleep are surely the three cornerstones to seeing an improvement in your overall wellbeing.
The idea is really amazing and you inspired me to add this topic in my german “happiness & Success” essay.
Thanks a lot. Love your videos.
Sounds awesome, really looking forward to the rest of the series.
Diet, exercise and time in nature are my biggest 3 deficits at the moment I'd say
Man these kind of thought-provoking, self-enriching videos is why I subscribe to your channel. I'm really looking forward to this series.
I love his different philosophy's on life
1: Switch some consumption for creative work
2: Switch solo-sport for low-key team sport
3: Elevate gaze when walking for more awe-inspiration
'Elevate gaze' great advice, beats looking at ass.
@@darkrinji well ass is pretty good too
examples of low key teamwork?
@@harry1S22 Everything that allows you to move a ball into some sort of recepticle with the help of your mates, low-key to increase the amount of banter/shittalking/general good time feels and decrease the chance of crippling yourself by getting caught up in pointless ambition
@@darkrinji 😂 whatever inspires more awe should be in focus, ass > the heavens > gravel
Love this concept mate, can't wait for the first episode
Loving the idea for the series
For me, the things that make the biggest difference to my state are sleep, diet, exercise, working on my life purpose, meditation, breathwork, cold exposure, and reiki.
Could watch your full day of eating vids 10 times over but this is a great avenue you’re about to explore. Very intrigued mate!
Chillest, coolest, most down to earth person on youtubee. Cheers mateee!!
This is brilliant. I can’t wait to watch this whole documentary (for lack of a better word). This is a question that I think everyone needs to ask themselves and work on.
All the best with this project brother! 🙏🏼
You're an absolute beauty Joey D. these are my favorite types of videos of yours keep em coming
more of this por favor. TH-cam is saturated with "what I eat in a day", "what my dads dogs son eats in a day" no one cares for that anymore. we want those mental strength gains :). in order to physically improve you have to develop your mental state in a way that can sustain a lifetime of consistency and progression. videos like these allow me to grow mentally and imo have a direct correlation with health and fitness. so yes more of this pls. all the best joey boy
Video going up on Tuesday is literally a what I eat in a day haha... bread and butter. I won't be offended if you skip, and I appreciate your comment (and agree with the sentiment despite my hypocrisy.
@@JoeDelaneyy will u enjoy living a life by planning all this shit to feel better, its like robotic. Maybe planning too much wil burn u out idk just my 2 cents
This is an amazing topic, really excited to see where this series goes!
Looking forward to this series, amazing idea Joe.
I love this concept. I'll certainly be watching every video you upload on the topic. Lately I've been trying to simplify my life both externally and internally, and I've noticed a huge improvement in how I feel overall. I'm naturally a very driven and analytical person and I've always held high standards and created lofty goals for myself. I'm trying to let go of all that and I'm trying instead to just be content with existing. That might sound a bit bleak at first, but the less you require for your contentment; the easier it is to be content. It's somewhat cliche to say now, but I've been meditating consistently every morning for just over a year now. One of the many things I've learned through it is just how peaceful and blissful my mind can be when it's not being weighed down with the usual shit I tend to weigh it down with. I used to garner much of my meaning and purpose by chasing external things such as career success, creative success with art and music, praise or acceptance from other people and material possessions. All that stuff requires so much mental energy to plan and maintain and I've realised that the constant rumination is detracting from my life and wellbeing way more than it's adding to it. Obviously I can't completely disregard those externalities, but my focus and purpose has shifted away from those things and more towards a simpler existence where I desire less and find more contentment in just being. It's had a profound effect on my mental state and my quality of life overall.
Obviously, I'm not discounting the more obvious and fundamental necessities when it comes to health and wellbeing too. As you mention in the video: sleep, diet, physical activity, sunlight and healthy relationships, among other things, are all vital factors in creating and maintaining a healthy and happy life. I've also been experimenting with adding breathwork to my daily routine over the last few weeks; namely the Wim Hof method. It's early days, but I'm enjoying it so far and it seems to be having a beneficial effect on my mental state and energy levels. Could be something else for you to look into, if you haven't already done so.
All the best on your journey mate. I love your unique and bullshit-free way of approaching these kinds of topics and I'm already looking forward to the next video!
1) less screen time
2) lowering my reliance on caffeine (already working on and I feel a lot better already)
3) kind of stupid to say but due to my anxiety, I sometimes have fixated on things/thoughts that I cannot control. So just letting go of those things and focusing more on what I can control.
Really hyped to see how these videos turn out.
Good list
I'm doing less screen time before bed.
Already managed to reduce tea/coffee.
Then found that with confidence and benefits of those, makes me less anxious /stressed throughout the day.
Good luck with your list.
Reducing caffeine has worked very well for me too. Feeling less stressed and sleeping better.
Amazing concept, I look forward to see what you find out, good luck!
Awesome concept mate. Great work!
I’m already consciously meditating, journaling and positive thinking… that for me Joe is the interventions I can make and keep at it. I am a self employed personal trainer and especially in these current times it’s hard and I will have to lead by example especially if I’m taking on clients and making them believe in what I do in terms of being a healthy, fit human being
Good for you, man. All the best 🤘
You can just tell he’s a really intelligent person. Such a cool guy
Dude.. Thank you. Love to see what happens here. This is inspiring, beautiful, and totally human.
cant wait to follow you on this journey.
What a down to earth bloke, real, vulnerable, a bea... wait a second.
Yeah, when he said he didn’t want this video to inspire a cult like status. I knew this was a humble dude.
Joe... What are the chances we could just get an hour long edit of all these lifts plus chill music in one video so I can keep the vibes as optimal as possible during home gym workouts
Looking forward to watching, great idea!
Excited for this series
Hey Joe.
You’re literally my favorite fitness TH-camr, man.
I’m gonna start the challenge with you.
Here are my three things:
1. Diet
2. Therapy
3. Hygiene
As a teenager, 1 & 3 are just gonna help me in the long run… becoming the one teen in the gym who doesn’t smell like a dead horse, or not having a diet that consists of eating the aforementioned dead horse: probably gonna be good habits.
I know therapy’s kind of a personal thing, and it’s not something I expect you to document in whatever journey you’re starting now, but I’d recommend it. There’s so many different types and styles, from cognitive “sit on the couch tell me about your problems” therapy to trauma “click this button when you feel uncomfortable” therapy. If guy who’s as admired as you starts taking therapy as a part of this, even though you’ve got a sick lifestyle and personality, it might inspire people who actually do have problems (that need therapy) to go and seek help.
And y’know to get to the point where you seem to be at now mentally, you probably had to crawl through some shit that could personally benefit from therapy.
(I mean you’ll benefit from the therapy, not the shit.)
great introduction, I'm looking forward to the rest.
I think you overlooked a massive category though - MENTAL e.g. reading, meditation and organisation are all things which have had a massive impact on my happiness personally
I think he meant some of this stuff under 'lifestyle' category
@@ofir0 probably so but it would be surprising to divide diet and supplements into different categories but group social life and meditation into one aha
Very keen for this series 😎
Hugely beneficial series idea that ties in so well with training! :)
I can already see the last part of the series or the “ what I have learnt” ,
The natural high comes from your perception of the world or how you view the world and how ur mindset decides that feeling of ecstasy. External factors matter less and everyone should constantly try to learn and have a growth mindset.
Then again you can only improve if you use the left side of your brain play a sport, improve cognitive intelligence and have wellness practices in your daily routine, i.e EXTERNAL FACTORS.
One of the few fitness TH-camrs I've seen grounded in reality. Straightforward, authentic, no bullshit. Keep diving deeper my man!
This man just keeps putting out great videos. I am really looking forward to this series/ documentary.
Joey d doing what other fitness youtubers don't. Moving on to the more important mental health to help us be in better mindset for physical health. 🙏🏼
some good content to digest. Thank you
Piano ✅ time lapse ✅ slow mo lifts ✅
Pure vibes from my boy 🔥
I legitimately cannot wait to see more of this content.
Super dope concept bro👌🏻keep at this one
Feels like some type of meditation has to be in there... single greatest thing that's changed my life
Meditation is truly life changing
I'm a little late to the party, but I've just "finished" making my changes. I went through a hard decade of learning and the past few years have been especially excruciating. I didn't want to be on anxiety medication anymore, so I started my way out by going to a holistic doctor. Best decision of my life as she was the only one that would listen and diagnose instead of just diagnose by what I thought I had. She did a TON of bloodwork to find out my deficiencies. I was lacking Vitamin B12, D, Magnesium, and Omega-3's. I was severely deficient in all of those. She also found out I was born with something missing (I can't think of what exactly it is) that contributes to anxiety and depression, which B12 and Magnesium both help with. She also found out that I was low in testosterone, so I started TRT. All of those have made a HUGE difference in my sleep and pretty much fixed my heart palpitations. It turns out the lack of B12 and Magnesium contribute to that. I also had SVT which I was born with. Finally found out in 2017 and had an ablation.
I started meditating over a year and a half ago. Now I meditate for at least 45 minutes a night and I incorporate breathwork with my meditation. (Wim Hoff or slow stomach breathing - in for 3 to 5 seconds, out 10 or more seconds) My nightly routine (if all goes well): Eat dinner by 6:30 at the latest, shower, meditate by 7 or 8. In bed and asleep before 10. Up at 6 a.m. It's changed my life.
I started taking cold showers a while back but fell out of that while I was clawing my way out of anxiety and depression. But I'm to the place now where I am ready to continue doing that.
My diet. I have always been very active. I grew up a runner and then into weight lifting and cardio. I fell out of that for the past 10 years. I could always compete but I was always tired. Turns out I had bad guts which I take a probiotic for now which has definitely changed my life. But the biggest diet change was finding out I was allergic to Gluten. My immune system attacks it and anything I digest with it. So if I eat a burger with all the nutrients I need, if the bun has gluten, my body will purge everything, including all of the healthy things I need (hence the vitamin deficiencies). No more gluten has reduced my heart palpitations, headaches, and immediate need to go to the bathroom after I eat.
I've started working out again. I've lost quite a lot of weight in the past two years from changing my diet alone. I'm 6'4 with a normal weight of 215 to 225 and I got up to 282 lbs. I started eating healthier and did the OMAD diet. Lost 62 lbs. Had a few tragedies happen that got me off course temporarily and went back up to 245. Around a month ago, I started getting my shit back together and now I'm 227 on my way to 210 ish. Give or take 10 lbs.
It's been an incredible road. I never knew how healthy I could feel. It's been over 10 years.....probably more like 13. When you're down in the dumps, it's so hard to even THINK about getting healthy again. Then get the motivation to go forward. But it's possible and it takes time. The results are definitely worth it!
It's a journey to find all this out. You have the right mentality. What I have gone through isn't what everyone else goes through and it takes a really long time.
I can't wait to watch your journey evolve.
very interesting. thank you for sharing man!
@@romanahmedi Thank you for reading!
this is soo interestinggg! cant wait to watch the rest of the jounrey
Love the concept. Especially love the acknowledgement of that it's going to take a long while to change something, see what the response is, and variate if necessary.
Hey man, very cool experiment. Looking forward to future videos.
My three:
1. Spending more time outdoors. (Walks, sitting, being present in my surrounding, etc)
2. Continue fitness journey but eliminate comparison in my thoughts.
3. More time in prayer, meditation, and Bible memorization. Ive found that experiencing peace on a spiritual level through Jesus makes the physical things so much better.
Thanks for the content!
"There's no highs without lows, if there's no low, then there's nothing called high, we discovered that there's something called high state because we have experienced something worse and that's what we usually call a low state or a bad state"
great point. what i was thinking today is maybe the key is to be calm and feel good and or present and thoughtful during the lows
@@gaberoyalll Yeah, presence is always amazing while in the lows or in the highs!
Loved this video.
My answers to your question at the end:
time management (be a little more productive), making more of an effort to put myself out there in the search for a partner (trying to avoid using dating apps), show more gratitude, and be a little kinder towards the people around me.
Looking forward to following this series (y)
Great idea for a series, big one for me is helping others either financially or volunteering your time makes me feel great
Yo Joe you gotta try the Wim Hof method consisting of breathing techniques and cold showers, it has litterarly changed my life along with meditation.
In what ways has it changed your life?
Dude, he lives near me in Gtr Manchester... if he did the cold showers here he'd literally die of Hypothermia in about 5 seconds
@@chrisscott1402 It's given me a method of breathing which alters the body's state temporarily which also leads to a mental shift, where I get access to a deeply meditative state for about a minute. Everything slightly dissolves into itself and I feel overwhelming love while also being energetic and focused with mental clarity. It's insane.
“Once you learn to function at the peak of consciousness everything will become a play”- sadhguru.
I think he could be a good source for information to look into and spiritually
Great concept and video Joe.
Your voice is so calming 💚
This is one of the best youtube videos I've ever watched (and I've watched a lot) - Thanks Joe!
My top three:
1) More nature. E.g. being close to the ocean or mountains
2) Being more vulnerable with others on certain occasions
3) Meditating / yoga / more cardio
Diet has always been something with me that has made little to no difference to how I feel or perform.
Matt Fraser summed it up best when he was on JRE. He takes a multi vitamin and a fish oil, sleeps 8+hrs a day, eats whatever he wants and trains smart.
He doesn’t indulge in any alleged “recovery” devices, take special pills, or even supplement with protein/creatine.
He felt his best when he ate what he wanted, worked out hard, and slept a lot.
To me this speaks volumes.
Yeah there is definitely a broader point about focusing on what makes the most difference. We like quirky, interesting things, so when we hear that something (whatever is it) can be beneficial in this way or that, we don't really stop to ask the question... How beneficial? Is it more than a negligible amount? And what's the cost? Is that effort best directed elsewhere (like into a set of black-out blinds or a sleeping mask).
That only works when "eat whatever you want" already leans into a somewhat sensible direction. I believe there are plenty of examples, myself in my mid twenties included, who would fare horribly if they followed that advice. Changing my diet purposely without making changes to exercise, stress/work etc. made a very noticeable difference in my life.
@@DJcs187 Yes I do agree with you, it does require a baseline level of knowledge on energy and nutrition.
Obviously “eat whatever you want” should not be taken too literally in some cases, but I think for most people with a somewhat decent understanding on the subject, it can be successful.
@@JoeDelaneyy Yes precisely, the blackout blinds point is a great example.
Most people would much sooner throw money into test boosters, protein powders, pre workouts etc rather than focusing on just getting a great nights kip.
There really is nothing more important than the bare necessities. Food, water, and sleep.
I don’t think these areas need to be over complicated to achieve a goal and certainly don’t think anything outside of these areas would provide any real significant benefit.
Of course I am not talking about including the use of PED’s
I am a 61 year old who came across this video and channel by chance - happily right as I am trying to make sense of where I am at in life and how to fix a number of things I am not happy about. Apart from subscribing I have used the diagram you drew to keep a daily record of the “scores” for each enable and inhibitor you call out. Scoring is easy - it’s influencing the scores that is the challenge. It really is a rare thing these days to watch a video without being told what to do or eat or how to be. Simply being engaged with fascinating opportunities is so relevant to anyone of any age - I’m hooked. I might never reach that absolutely best ever good feeling but I already feel better and thats a win in my book. Really great idea - a lot of wisdom on young shoulders.
Yes mate! Loving the idea of this series I'm all about it.
The best I ever felt in my life was after meditating for 1-2 hours per day for about 4 weeks. After a while I felt an intense heat in my belly and then one day it went into my chest and I can honestly say it was the best I ever felt. It was kind of like being on E but different, like the feeling of being freshly bathed, after a glass of wine and good sex. When I came out of it I was covered in sweat like I had been working out hard, it was crazy.
This is a great idea for a series, quite unique as far as I'm concerned too, big up JD.
As for the "interventions", for me it'd be hesitating less to interact with people and putting more time into creative activity
Looking forward to this series 👌
This video was amazing!!! You smashed it!! love the idea, creativity, and most importantly the genuine curiosity this man has. 👍🏻👍🏻
Dude, this is so dope! You're like an old timey philosopher!
3 immediate interventions:
-Relationship health (friends, family, partner)
-Nature immersion, take a long 3 month hike
-Psychedelic session ( heroic dose, led my shaman / therapist! )
Joe - Amazing video. I would say the 3 things that I am working on in my control and that will allow me to feel better both physically and mentally is:
1. quit watching pornography
2. sleeping at least 7 hours
3. reducing daily screen time by 2 hours
Add cold showers too if you can, that list is exactly what I’m trying to do
How much screen time do you spend though?
I stopped watching pornography 11 months ago. I have kind of relapsed a few times, but quitting porn was one of the best decisions I have made. I also think I was quite addicted at the time, and I felt like I lost the power and control over my usage.
@@RyanshirleyMUFC oh yes definitely, i try to do it every once in a while but i want to make it a habit. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@paulmason8478 honestly a lot in my opinion. Like on average 4-5 hrs and the time I want to cut out is all the social media!
Please make a Playlist so this series so it's easy to follow! Think this will be really helpful & informative for a lot of your viewers
Gz on 500k brah
The most high that I've ever felt (while being sober), was the first month or so of consistent, every-day, mindful practice of Wim Hof's breathing technique and taking cold showers. I'm telling you, I felt totally high for hours on everyday basis, and I know what it means to feel high, but none of my senses or thinking processing or emotions were influenced by any drug, but only with chemicals that occur naturally in my body. There were moments when waves of thankfulness and serotonin-like happiness passed through me, and calm joy was my natural state of being. Achieved just by 10 minutes breathing session.
Then I stopped because of.. reasons. And also you take some tolerance to those effects, like for everything.
But shit, I just talked myself to doing it again (I take cold showers every morning still tho)
Edit: but the best part is that this breathing method has incredible abilities to improve overall health and especially influence system
Edit#2:
Oh and this video made me willing to see next ones to come, it's well thought, well said and well done
I'm getting into breath work, so far I love it. If you don't mind telling, why did you stop?
Jesus loves you 😊 thanks for sharing.. very interesting
Arise. Sir Joe Delaney. This is peak content right here. Love where this channel is headed. Been a long term viewer and I look forward to seeing this new series.
Shred Bundy back at it again with a high quality vid.
"Alright Dave, there's no reason to go around telling everyone they shouldn't eat dairy just because you stopped getting back ache when you didn't buy crunch corners one week."
Sentences like this are why I click on every Joey D vid as soon as I see it.
this... absolutely refreshing to see somebody recognizing placebo effect and fake gurus... i was so sick of guys saying that cold showers cure cancer and crap like that
This is suck a sick concept, can't wait to see how you get on with this! Also just want to say, I only just stumbled across your channel (no idea why it took this long) but seriously your videos are so well made, and your genuine, no bs approach to just stuff, and life - I really appreciate it. Keep being you Joe 🙏
Man, I'm pumped to see this come to fruition. So refreshing to hear that the goal is for the long-term, not just some 30 day turnaround. No doubt, it'll be worth the endeavor. Cheers!
Love this kind of videos! You seem like a very bright and level headed guy
Really enjoyed this video, you come across as driven, intelligent and humble.
I'll be subscribing, watching and liking a few more and watching regularly.
Shared with my teen son aswell, keep going and best of luck! 👍🏻👌🏻👍🏻
Legendary video, I’m really excited for you and I’ll take what I learn into my own life as well. Great idea and great video!
Love this idea! Just subscribed !
Seeing the title before even watching the video, it’s hard living life being in a natural high. The best high ever know is through pain and the end part of that spectrum is worth it. I’m saying this because your mind is emptied and it la being filled with joy in my experience.
I love this idea, really excited for this video series!
Im going to love this journey!
Good one, looking forward 🤙🏼
Looking forward to these.
Thank you for everything you do
