I just watched this, quit my doomscrolling for the day and went outside. I met 2 boys who showed me a secret spot at a river where theres flowers and endless grass with sheep and ponds with baby frogs and even though we didn't speak the same language, I just had one of the best days in a few months. And the coolest thing is I didn't plan any of it
@@lckcyy theres nothing blocking u, u said that u have tons of building around, right? maybe u can go around and meet new people or something. Go to new place and just have fun. gl!
I just watched this, quit my doomscrolling for the day and went outside. I met a hardworking corner lady at the end of my street. Payed about fiddy and went wild. I just had the best day in months. And the coolest thing is she ask about any stds
i live in a small town just out of a mountain range. i sometimes like to have long walks on the mountains to discover little villages, admire the breathtaking views, get hostile encounters with random farmer npc's for making one step into their uncultivated fields. this summer i'm planning to go hiking in the mountain range, push myself to discover more of it and try camping in some woods.
Interesting comment, I'm not currently in school myself so I just kinda automatically changed the word school to work and then everything he says still applies to the working man
stuck at home, stuck in suburbia, and as much as i'd like to experience fun things, it's difficult when you're surrounded with nothing but single homes and asphalt. waiting till the day i can go somewhere else.
me too bro, i have to deal with that and being an only-child my mom is super protective of me so Its pretty difficult to go where I want without her keeping me home
@@Valentino_II yeah, it's hard. i live next to a pretty small and bland park, but i cant even go there without supervision. it's basically the only thing around here for miles. might be able to get a car in the next year or so, but i know that'll be costly to keep up with. wish everything around here didnt require a damn car.
This is what you do. Come up with a pitch so ridiculous that it can’t be taken seriously (I’d like to install a giant inflatable gnome on your property, for example). Go door-to-door and pitch it to people. No plan. See what happens.
Dude. This is it. I'm done with scrolling. In exactly 1 week and 11 hours, I will be getting my drivers license. I am gonna live life to its fullest. I understand I still have responsibilities such as school and chores, but I am going to flip my time spent scrolling/doing unproductive and boring things into new experiences. Thank you so much man.
I've been keeping an almost daily diary for 6 years where I write down everything. I use it to vent about things that make me sad or frustrate me to get it out, but also all positive achievements. My advice is to mark the positive days with a colorful sticker or draw a star where you f. e. went on a walk and saw a cool bird or baked a cake. That way you don't just write down negative things all the time but see the positive days as an achievement and go out of your comfort zone just so you can write that entry that you'll look back on. Now I do things like swim in a cold lake at night wich is very very unpleasant because it's so cold BUT you look back and thing I did it, and when it rained after I was like "this is gonna make a sick entry" and walked in the rain for 2 hours back home lol. It makes you do things that you normally wouldn't. Here are some examples and I live in a city with no friends: You can go to Burger King at 1am and skateboard back home (I can't eben drive in a straight line but it's dark so who cares), you can go to a forest to collect mushrooms, build a forest hut from branches, take a bus to a random field and just watch the bugs, pick a flower bouquet for yourself, sit under a bridge and listen to the spring, play cards with yourself (solitaire), learn to craft stuff like origami or crochet, make little clay figures of your pets, paint your furniture, bake a birthday cake for your pet and eat it yourself, sneak into a movie theater, go to a local concert, talk to strangers on the bus like tell them that their dogs ears look goofy and both have a laugh, set off fireworks in the middle of nowhere, go to a playground at night and go on a swing, get drunk and have a concert at home, do things you would normally do at home in your bed like reading a book but do it outside on a tree or something. The list goes on. Don't let your location or stage in life or mental state define how you can enjoy life. Yes others might be able to do more fun stuff, but they don't appreciate it as much as you do. If there was an amazing red sunset every night, you wouldn't be as amazed as when it only happens twice a year. It will get better and life is just starting for you.
I’ve been pretty depressed and sedentary lately, and I have lots of bad shit going on at home and at school. This will not only help me get out of my lazy rut, but also take my mind off of things and get my blood flowing. Thanks dude, I appreciate this a lot ❤
'WOW! THAT IS TRUE FOR ALL AGES. I'M 53 AND FEW DAYS AGO I HAD A NICE WALK IN A DIFFERENT AREA FROM WHERE I LIVE, AND IT MADE ME FEEL SO GOOD AND ALIVE! YOUR VIDEO CAN SAVE LIVES..
I love how you give real, specific examples of how you get out of your routine and comfort zone (and not just say "I try to get out of my comfort zone every day."
YES, OH MY GOD you are RIGHT! this week began taking walks, finding a place, sitting there and just drawing. I grew up so locked in my room I never thought something so simple would give me so much joy. Go out guys, do stuff
It is so amazing to see young people like you discovering the beauty of simplicity, the beauty of life. The social media addiction is apparent and has impact on all of the people. It's changing not only young generation, but basically everyone. I remember times without Internet. Being present, creative. Thank you so much for creating this video and sharing your very valuable message. Hope you will reach more people and change people life for the better :) Hugs!
This made me realize that I'm not living for my days, I'm just living for my next weekend, my next break, but weekends are almost entirely homework and even when i am taking break the reality of school coming back still hangs over my head and homework never stops coming (i go to an extremely academically rigorous school). I'll have objectively good days where I'll have a good time with my peers and be in the beautiful outdoors but I'll only realize later. I never want to get out of bed in the morning, i never want to go to school even if being there is pretty good. I don't have the time to do these experiences, yet I don't have time for anything, including TH-cam, which I'm doing rn. I thought i was going to get distracted when i hopped on youtube but instead i got an existential crisis!
Also, dont quit if something goes wrong. Thats the thing I love the most about adventures because it always makes an amazing story. Overall, if everything happened as planned, talking about it would bore people.
this video changed my way of thinking. i just realized how many things i have around my house. there's a little park with a basketball field, i think i will take my basketball there and just play. there's also this laundry shop near my house, a cool bakery shop, a fancy pet shop and even a tiny supermarket. woah! just see how many things i have around me that i can enjoy so much!! your video was such comforting and cozy for me, you definetely gave me a life advice, keep it going with your channel ❤❤❤
It's not just kids who need to play. As adults we forget that we have the right, freedom, and need to make our days fulfilling and exciting. Thank you for sharing such an important message. I'm on my way to the discord community because I love this mentality.
I feel like this is the best advice to give someone. It’s so down to earth and so real. Adults always tell kids to just go outside but never what to do. I feel like this is so important, especially after Covid. I think people forget how much social interaction was lost from covid.
me and my friend went for a walk and we went to visit a ghost town, there was 1 person walking in this old town on top of a hill. It was exciting and none of that was planned. We did like 18km of walking. Fun fact: when we got back home it was night time
I left a comment just before and deleted it because it was deflective actually. Your video has reminded me that I am not living my fullest life and I have known that for a long time. After watching your video just now I finally feel deeply inspired to allow the sickness to busrt forth, with all my conscious and proactive efforts that I have lazily and resignedly not been taking until now! Cheers my dude
he's right, its okay, you do have time! its normal to worry abt not having enough time to become and do everything you think u need to be and then panic pamper yourself, thats what ive been growing out of! be weird, do something extra for the sake of it, anything and everything is positive when your mind is in a state of longing for change. you dont have to live how you are. love u guys! youre awesome
Timofey,This video resonates with me sm.I am 17,I am a student at school as well,and for the past teenage years I would always think that I am just weird,that I don’t deserve improvement,better changes ,choices and happiness,people around me don’t really understand me and my intentions,mindest,so I just kinda disappeared into myself,watching motivating and stupid videos 24/7,scolding myself and crying the sht out of me for not doing more or doing things not good enough.But i am just not there ,not with those people I’m not meant to be ,even my parents don’t understand me and underestimate me,but I am okay,I just need to stop ducking listening to those people and do my thing,thank you, such an inspiration❤️
I am honestly so grateful to have come across this video…. I’ve been on social media way too much recently 😫 The way you’re talking has literally got me thinking about the endless amount of opportunities this life has to offer, if we just do something new & random every day
I've been stuck in this house for about a month now, relapsing into unhealthy habits like eating junk food, neglecting exercise, study, and not getting enough sleep. Suddenly, your video popped up and it really helped me clear my thoughts. I feel like I've found my answer. I'm going to go outside today. Thank you, brother. You don't know how much you've helped me. You might think this is normal, but for me, it's a huge step ☺.
That’s good to hear I hope you’re doing well now Life can’t be exciting all the time don’t feel too bad about it It’s the boring stuff that makes you able to appreciate simple things like stepping outside and looking at trees I like to do that if you can find any excuse to go outside and do that you’ll always feel better Life can feel dull sometimes when you forget what’s out there but if you take a minute to realise what you can do with the things around you you will always have a reason to smile
@@jellopy24 Thank you so much for your kind words! Your comment truly touched me and reminded me of the beauty in simplicity. Your encouragement to find joy in the little things has uplifted my spirits more than you know. It's comforting to know that there are people like you out there, spreading positivity and understanding. I'll definitely take your advice to heart and cherish those moments of stepping outside and admiring nature. Thank you again, brother, for your support 😊
@@NebulaJohnny I’m really glad 😁 People think they need something to chase after and plan years ahead but once they achieve that goal they’ll just look for another project to consume their time, that feeling of dissatisfaction and craving stimulation will never go away People are afraid of boredom, sitting with your own thoughts and being aware of your surroundings is a privilege most people won’t ever know Your purpose is deeper than temporary excitement and unsustainable happiness, without boredom and sorrow to balance it out they become meaningless Making yourself happy and the people around you, taking advantage of any chance to make someone’s day better as well as your own, that’s what makes a difference and that’s what life should be about You are special and don’t ever feel like you’re being left behind when you don’t even have to take part in the race Take every day as it comes and make positive changes, take good care of yourself and remember there is nothing wrong with sitting at home and watching tv. Whatever lifts your spirits my friend 😁🙏🙏
I got here after an NA meeting where the topic happened to be the first pamphlet I ever picked up at an NA meeting - Self Acceptance. That experience allowed me to build a much greater emotional connection to the meeting and engage way more than I did last week, which goes to show that this stuff builds upon itself. Gonna try it out and really get out there, because if something that small can make such a difference now then imagine down the line!

Hey man, genuinely love the video, I’ve had the same experience with going out and giving days meaning, it’s truly a great thing, and I’m happy you’ve shared this video!
I chilled in the woods with my brother a couple days ago… straight up really peaceful and a great experience. I’m gonna make sure to seek out more memories like that in the future.
You're absolutely right! I realized these past few days that it's better to go out and explore things than spend time at home, like lying on the bed all the time and watching some productive videos that I still won't apply. Going out makes my mind and body stay present; it lessens my overthinking for the future; and the advantage is that I can create new memories and new discoveries. I'm doing my best to minimize my screen time and do something with what I have today. Big or small actions is still an improvement, one step at a time is an achievement. Have a good day! :)
This made me remember what I was trying to do a while ago but loved, in Japan and also just at my home town- I love these adventures, thank you for letting me remember this! Praise the Lord!
Fantastic advice that more people need to hear. I’ve felt this for years but didn’t have the words to describe it. Good for you man, good for everyone else. We cause a ripple and by finding fulfillment and having fun, you rub off very well on others
thank you. i’ll try my best i really needed this because you described my exact situation. i’m fresh out a relationship and ive been sitting, and i feel like ive been doing nothing and you described my life back to me. I’ve been wanting to do this but im scared to jumpstart it so i’ll try and start small. i really needed this so thank you
Now this one change how I really feel about life. THANKYOU SO MUCH You really helped me with this video I am 22 and really get obsessed with productivity and organize my life I did found the perfect routine and things and it's work great until I got burn out and realized that why my life is so boring like I wake up every day and it's the same I know I need to work work work and study exercise read books study again for my future success everything is great but... I have realize I am a human after all I have watch Ghibli's films stuff and wonder why my life doesn't feel adventurous like that there is no "Magic" of life like when I was a kid anymore where everyday was an adventure full of meaning and fulfilling feelings now It's mundane I feel BAD even though my strict routine is aim for the success but I am not happy at all this one opener my blindness to the life I am looking for just by watching this and imagine a new way to live life where my life is more balance by this video is giving me back the old feeling from childhood I guess that's excitement thankyou so much I am gonna visit my grandma soon her home really feel like Ghibli's movie too lol with this new perspective and the new way of this I feel very happy now thankyou PS: sorry for my bad English.
Best advice I've heard in a while. Most 'productive' videos on TH-cam talk about journaling or studying, those are important but really all you need to do to feel fulfilled in life is to put yourself out there and to try and live your life to the fullest everyday.
This is a great message, glad I'm on the right track. Im kinda famous at school for doing "Stupid things", but to me its just my way of doing what your saying. For example, things Ive done was.... 1. Drag all of the mulch into a huge pile at recess 2. Smuggle grapes in my pockets out to recess and make my own raisins (They tasted pretty good) 2. Crawl through miles of storm drains and tunnel systems 2.5. Sled down a frozen storm drain. 3. Grow a radish in my locker (Used an artificial UV light) 4. Finish lunch at school a minute earlier for a semester (I had to eat lunch in third period) 5. Just riding my bike around other neighborhoods and finding cool bridges 6. Making cringe TH-cam videos with friends. (My favorite) 7. Going to the park and playing soccer 8. Going to graveyards at night 9. Wandered the woods at night (With friends, still terrifying) 10. Literally got lost on purpose (On foot)
Yeah you just gotta put yourself out there and you will see. Once on a sunday I went walking because I had a little hangover and this not a joke. I'll keep it short: I got a job and several signings of famous chess players in the next days.
When I was 23 I was in the same scenario. Don't quit and keep sending those CVs! Your days will feel empty but you need to find your own healthy ways to fill them. (I'm now 25 and have been working for 1 and a half year in my field but it was tough to find the first job).
@@GondorB Ohh I see, that makes me feel better. I'm thinking on actually getting a master degree in anthropology while I work part time at something random. At least that way I might have a bigger chance on working on something I really enjoy in the future
This is something I've tried to internalized the past few months. Sometimes all you really need is some variety. A variety of experiences goes so far on it's own that it honestly solves more problems than you realize. Every part of our body, including our brain, needs a varied diet. I've always heard "go out your comfort zone" but honestly I never got that since I interpreted it as a phrase you tell people when they don't wanna do whatever your telling them to do (for me that's dancing, performing, cold approaching, etc.). Now that I know what I thrive on, it's made me feel a lot better
Love this video and can totally agree! 😁 For nearly 1 and a half year ago, I myself spend a lot of time on TH-cam, Netflix and playing videogames... I was so miserable and bored at my life. Therefore I decided to make a huge change. I wanted to show the world who I am and what I'm actually capable to do 😃👍 So because I had used a whole lot of time practicing singing acapella and have been training gymnastic for 15 years... I decided to participate in X-Factor in Denmark this year 😂 I made it through precasting and went to audition to sing infront of the 3 judges... But unfortunatly I didn't went further. Luckily my audition was so original and entertaining because I surprised the judges by making a backflip before singing, so I was shown on TV! 🤯 It has been an amazing journey and adventure, I love just being myself and do what I like in life! 😉👌
Good video bro. I think the message you've made in this video is one of the most important ones creators in this space need to start pushing. Just taking a small step out of your comfort zone isn't much, but when compounded every single day it'll really change your life. Also the amount of editing you did on this video was really well balanced. Many creators in this 'self improvement' niche either do too many edits which takes away from the video, or no edits at which his just boring. Your flow and pacing of B-Roll works really well, and the video is easy to watch. Keep being consistent and your channel will go big, good job bro
I started studying at university in other city two years ago. I was very excited to see place around and live there. Eventually I started spending days on simple sitting in room and brainless playing games. And sometimes I realise that I came to this city not to play all day on computer and not only to study but also to experience new region, see new places and have fun with people. Sometimes you don't really need a lot to have enjoyable life. Sometimes all you have to do is just go outside (even alone) and go to a park, a street or any other place where you've never been and experience it.
Suggestion: Graffiti. Combines exitement, adventure and creativity. And it gives you memories you will never forget. First you search a Spot, that way you See a Lot of your City in New ways. Then you do a lookout on one of These spots to See how many people are usually there how risky it is, or how to get there If it's Not easily accesable. And then comes the day of the piece maybe you want to do Something that fits that exact Spot or Just Something quick so you scatch everything out. And of course (that's optional and I obviously dont ever do that) then you Go there and Put that piece to Work. That's an Adrenalin Rush youll never get sick of. And after that you can admire your piece a few days or maybe longer depending in the Spot.
I recently wrote a list of 100 different things you can do in a day that I wanted to do. Every day I would spin a wheel and pretend it was a random side quest or something. I’m almost through the list, but I’m definitely making another one.
I like your enthusiasm. As someone with ADHD and autism, I have to warn you that not everyone has the type of brain that does this naturally. However, it's very beneficial regardless to think about what we want to experience and live in a state of mind open to experimenting a bit.
This is kind of what running has done for me. It's given me a way to explore new paths and places around me. It's amazing seeing or feeling something i didnt the past day
First time I've ever seen your channel, but i love your energy. It's super important to find stuff you enjoy doing. I respect your ability to record yourself and put it out there. Keep up the good work. Life's got tons of stuff to offer once you take the time to look.
W video, awesome to see what an amazing wholesome community you’ve built up here and how far you’ve come! There’s always someone to talk to in the discord server and get help from and it’s always super active. Keep up the honest bangers! Honestly one of the most real TH-camrs I know. The numbers on this vid are crazy!
next week will be my final week of school before graduating (hopefully if I pass the exams that are yet to come) and I feel like I‘ve wasted so much time by just being inside all day. Once I‘m out of school I will try to experience something new and fun every day. I will start to actually live a life. I‘ll come back to this in a couple of weeks to see how I‘m doing Thank you for being so inspiring
@@thijmen4334 Even tho I had no school the past few weeks I had my final exam this week and I've been so stressed that I have to admit I was still stuck in my room. But now that my nerves finally get some air to breathe, hopefully I will be able to go outside more. I'm planning on fixing my bike in the next couple of days so I can take my camera and discover some abandoned places nearby :D I appreciate you asking though!!
There's like nothing around here. I've been everywhere and things just feel like an never ending loop. There isn't any nature nor walking distance activities + I'm shy to talk to people
any tips for women? I feel like men have such massive privilege for the freedom that they have to just go out and do stuff whenever they like :( like rn I'm waiting for friends to text me back if they wanna go out tonight. but that's where I find myself all the time, waiting, waiting, waiting... it's definitely too dangerous for a young woman to go partying alone in a bigger city. I'd love to travel the world! but as a woman I am just too scared to do that alone. even to just go out for a walk in nature. it just happened a few weeks ago near the city where I live that some guy attacked a woman that was walking outside. I feel trapped...
Start training martial arts, BJJ or something. Find travel groups. Make friends that do cool stuff to encourage you until you feel confident enough yourself. Most of all, partying and going out is the number one thing you should quit. That's by far the riskiest activity compared to the other things you want to do. It might not seem like it, but if you get it out of your system sooner than the rest of your friend group, you'll start to see how sad it is for them.
I really like your vibe bro! I wanna start doing more things. Previously I've gone out on my own for walks and stuff and always ended up feeling just frustrated at the end because to get anywhere nice I have to walk through a sea of uk suburban neighborhoods, though I really resonated with what you said when you said that these are just excuses in fancy clothes :D There are nice places near me and I'm gonna start going out more thanks to this!
I know that what I'm about to say will sound like a justification, but here we go. I do not have time for this. I wake up at 6, go to school at 7, then I come back around 16. I have to do homework, read school books, tide in the house. I finish everything at 19 or 20. I'm going to work on the weekends now because I need some money for my personal spending, and I want money to make a driver's license. I come from a lower-class family, and there's no way I could ask my parents to pay for the driver's license expenses. We have financial problems almost all the time. I see no exit from my situation. Nobody from these motivational videos happens to think that people like me exist. I have almost zero free time.
I’m a shut in, not by choice. I don’t exactly have opportunities to leave my house mainly because I live in the middle of nowhere so the stores are always 40 minutes or atleast an hour away which I can’t get to because of family. I don’t go to school nor do I have a job but i’ve been trying to leave my house as much as I can but it’s hard to actually go outside and do things whenever I live in the middle of a desert. I desperately want to leave my house but my family isn’t exactly open to those opportunities. The most social interaction I get from people outside of my family are people online. The reason im commenting all of this is because I need advice from people about what I should do considering my situation
This is life changing stuff that seems all too obvious. Here’s some ideas that came to mind: . Spend as much time outside today that you did on your phone yesterday. Check screen time, set your goal then get out there! Time it or just let it flow. In one go or incrementally. . Go sit somewhere and sketch what you see. (Tree, house, flower, people) . Ride a bike around town after work (I haven’t ridden a bike in many years!) . Play tennis at my local outdoor court (solo against a wall or just practice I guess) . Paint a floral pattern at the top of my wall which goes round my whole room. . Create a fly for fly fishing. . Go visit one of those pop up sales/markets even for niche things like CD’s or vintage things. . Wake up for the sunrise and drive/walk somewhere to see it. . Learn the stars with Stargazing. . Find somewhere to sunbathe naked. . Build a den inside like kids do - or with sticks in the forest. . Bake something you’ve never made before (tiramisu, doughnuts, cheesecake, chocolate fondue, etc). . Host a fancy dinner for your family/friends/partner and do as many courses as you can. . Go on a walk and you’re not allowed to go home till you’ve seen something specific (a breed of bird, a ginger dog, a couple holding hands, certain car etc) or done something (talked to a stranger). . Skim a stone. . Go buy street food you never usually try. . Go knock on the door of a friend’s house and just chat/hang out spontaneously. . Play a kids game (blocky 123, hop scotch, jump rope, hide and seek). . Listen in to a religious event (Sunday church, Buddhist meditation) . Repair something. . Try to eat every meal outside in a day. . Pick a bouquet of wild flowers. (Grasses, branches, and dry leaves can work too!) . Explore a bookshop. . Go thrift/charity shopping and try to find gifts for your friends/family . Sing to the trees Time for me to read everyone else’s comment for new ideas and hopefully go live some of that good life!
So true man. Lately I've been exercising my own version of this. I feel like once you develope a healthy, beneficial sense of free will, your whole world changes. Your entire life opens up. Life suddenly gains so much meaning. Something as simple as going outside and walking down the road for no reason. People get so stuck and imprisoned in their homes and rooms and gates, its almost like we forget that the rest of the sorld exists. And why not? Why not do That Thing. Why not go on a morning run, even if you've never even considered it before. Why Not spend that extra money to go see some live music, even if its not your favorite genre in the world. And as you excercise this mindset more and more, you build it up. Soon traveling overseas doesnt seem so scary and impossible anymore. Meeting new people, seeing new places, creating new hobbies.
im 17 and ive been doing more and making my life better for myself, i used to be very shy but now im able to talk to unknown people in school and even make them laugh and have a good time
I found funny how you just described my whole life these days. Watching videos, eating junk food and trying to find some motivation on "how to be productive" videos. It's time to change, we never know what will be tomorrow. Thanks man 🔥
What he's saying is really true. I occasionally go wander around the town, find places i don't know yet, go into side quests, help the kids to reach their baloon they stuck up the tree, but I don''t do this often enough even though it is so enjoyable. Nowadays we don't do that enough. Thanks for reminding me that.

I met 2 boys who showed me a secret spot at a river where theres flowers and endless grass with sheep and ponds with baby frogs and even though we didn't speak the same language, I just had one of the best days in a few months. And the coolest thing is I didn't plan any of it

• be more spontaneous
• test yourself
• test your surroundings

stuck at home, stuck in suburbia, and as much as i'd like to experience fun things, it's difficult when you're surrounded with nothing but single homes and asphalt.
waiting till the day i can go somewhere else.
me too bro, i have to deal with that and being an only-child my mom is super protective of me so Its pretty difficult to go where I want without her keeping me home
@@Valentino_II yeah, it's hard. i live next to a pretty small and bland park, but i cant even go there without supervision. it's basically the only thing around here for miles.
might be able to get a car in the next year or so, but i know that'll be costly to keep up with. wish everything around here didnt require a damn car.
This is what you do. Come up with a pitch so ridiculous that it can’t be taken seriously (I’d like to install a giant inflatable gnome on your property, for example). Go door-to-door and pitch it to people. No plan. See what happens.
Get yourself a skateboard 💪💪💪

Dude. This is it. I'm done with scrolling. In exactly 1 week and 11 hours, I will be getting my drivers license. I am gonna live life to its fullest. I understand I still have responsibilities such as school and chores, but I am going to flip my time spent scrolling/doing unproductive and boring things into new experiences. Thank you so much man.
Cool

I've been keeping an almost daily diary for 6 years where I write down everything. I use it to vent about things that make me sad or frustrate me to get it out, but also all positive achievements. My advice is to mark the positive days with a colorful sticker or draw a star where you f. e. went on a walk and saw a cool bird or baked a cake. That way you don't just write down negative things all the time but see the positive days as an achievement and go out of your comfort zone just so you can write that entry that you'll look back on. Now I do things like swim in a cold lake at night wich is very very unpleasant because it's so cold BUT you look back and thing I did it, and when it rained after I was like "this is gonna make a sick entry" and walked in the rain for 2 hours back home lol. It makes you do things that you normally wouldn't.
Here are some examples and I live in a city with no friends:
You can go to Burger King at 1am and skateboard back home (I can't eben drive in a straight line but it's dark so who cares), you can go to a forest to collect mushrooms, build a forest hut from branches, take a bus to a random field and just watch the bugs, pick a flower bouquet for yourself, sit under a bridge and listen to the spring, play cards with yourself (solitaire), learn to craft stuff like origami or crochet, make little clay figures of your pets, paint your furniture, bake a birthday cake for your pet and eat it yourself, sneak into a movie theater, go to a local concert, talk to strangers on the bus like tell them that their dogs ears look goofy and both have a laugh, set off fireworks in the middle of nowhere, go to a playground at night and go on a swing, get drunk and have a concert at home, do things you would normally do at home in your bed like reading a book but do it outside on a tree or something. The list goes on. Don't let your location or stage in life or mental state define how you can enjoy life. Yes others might be able to do more fun stuff, but they don't appreciate it as much as you do. If there was an amazing red sunset every night, you wouldn't be as amazed as when it only happens twice a year. It will get better and life is just starting for you.
thank you for this!! but as a girl it's not safe to be outside late at night unfortunately 😅
This is wonderful thank you so much

Thankyou man! Great listings of small little ideas
learning to have fun being with yourself is one of the most important parts of growing up healthy
I’ve been pretty depressed and sedentary lately, and I have lots of bad shit going on at home and at school. This will not only help me get out of my lazy rut, but also take my mind off of things and get my blood flowing. Thanks dude, I appreciate this a lot ❤

I love how you give real, specific examples of how you get out of your routine and comfort zone (and not just say "I try to get out of my comfort zone every day."
YES, OH MY GOD you are RIGHT! this week began taking walks, finding a place, sitting there and just drawing. I grew up so locked in my room I never thought something so simple would give me so much joy. Go out guys, do stuff
Extrovert sucks doe
in short: touch grass
😂brooo
I mean you aint wrong hhahah

I am
There's grass in my backyard 🧐
It is so amazing to see young people like you discovering the beauty of simplicity, the beauty of life. The social media addiction is apparent and has impact on all of the people. It's changing not only young generation, but basically everyone. I remember times without Internet. Being present, creative. Thank you so much for creating this video and sharing your very valuable message. Hope you will reach more people and change people life for the better :) Hugs!
This made me realize that I'm not living for my days, I'm just living for my next weekend, my next break, but weekends are almost entirely homework and even when i am taking break the reality of school coming back still hangs over my head and homework never stops coming (i go to an extremely academically rigorous school). I'll have objectively good days where I'll have a good time with my peers and be in the beautiful outdoors but I'll only realize later. I never want to get out of bed in the morning, i never want to go to school even if being there is pretty good. I don't have the time to do these experiences, yet I don't have time for anything, including TH-cam, which I'm doing rn. I thought i was going to get distracted when i hopped on youtube but instead i got an existential crisis!
Also, dont quit if something goes wrong. Thats the thing I love the most about adventures because it always makes an amazing story. Overall, if everything happened as planned, talking about it would bore people.
this video changed my way of thinking.
i just realized how many things i have around my house. there's a little park with a basketball field, i think i will take my basketball there and just play. there's also this laundry shop near my house, a cool bakery shop, a fancy pet shop and even a tiny supermarket. woah! just see how many things i have around me that i can enjoy so much!! your video was such comforting and cozy for me, you definetely gave me a life advice, keep it going with your channel ❤❤❤
same
let's goo thank you man :) it's awesome right?
Looks like you live in a pretty cool place, hope you enjoy yourself!
It's not just kids who need to play. As adults we forget that we have the right, freedom, and need to make our days fulfilling and exciting. Thank you for sharing such an important message. I'm on my way to the discord community because I love this mentality.

I love this. So simple! No friends, no money, just living
This is the type of video that you didn’t have to create, but you did anyways because you care about the lives of strangers, and I love that 😭
I feel like this is the best advice to give someone. It’s so down to earth and so real. Adults always tell kids to just go outside but never what to do. I feel like this is so important, especially after Covid. I think people forget how much social interaction was lost from covid.
me and my friend went for a walk and we went to visit a ghost town, there was 1 person walking in this old town on top of a hill. It was exciting and none of that was planned. We did like 18km of walking. Fun fact: when we got back home it was night time
damn u wish i lived near a ghost town that would be fire
I left a comment just before and deleted it because it was deflective actually. Your video has reminded me that I am not living my fullest life and I have known that for a long time. After watching your video just now I finally feel deeply inspired to allow the sickness to busrt forth, with all my conscious and proactive efforts that I have lazily and resignedly not been taking until now! Cheers my dude
he's right, its okay, you do have time! its normal to worry abt not having enough time to become and do everything you think u need to be and then panic pamper yourself, thats what ive been growing out of! be weird, do something extra for the sake of it, anything and everything is positive when your mind is in a state of longing for change. you dont have to live how you are. love u guys! youre awesome
Timofey,This video resonates with me sm.I am 17,I am a student at school as well,and for the past teenage years I would always think that I am just weird,that I don’t deserve improvement,better changes ,choices and happiness,people around me don’t really understand me and my intentions,mindest,so I just kinda disappeared into myself,watching motivating and stupid videos 24/7,scolding myself and crying the sht out of me for not doing more or doing things not good enough.But i am just not there ,not with those people I’m not meant to be ,even my parents don’t understand me and underestimate me,but I am okay,I just need to stop ducking listening to those people and do my thing,thank you, such an inspiration❤️
I am honestly so grateful to have come across this video…. I’ve been on social media way too much recently 😫 The way you’re talking has literally got me thinking about the endless amount of opportunities this life has to offer, if we just do something new & random every day
:)
I've been stuck in this house for about a month now, relapsing into unhealthy habits like eating junk food, neglecting exercise, study, and not getting enough sleep. Suddenly, your video popped up and it really helped me clear my thoughts. I feel like I've found my answer. I'm going to go outside today. Thank you, brother. You don't know how much you've helped me. You might think this is normal, but for me, it's a huge step ☺.
That’s good to hear I hope you’re doing well now
Life can’t be exciting all the time don’t feel too bad about it
It’s the boring stuff that makes you able to appreciate simple things like stepping outside and looking at trees I like to do that if you can find any excuse to go outside and do that you’ll always feel better
Life can feel dull sometimes when you forget what’s out there but if you take a minute to realise what you can do with the things around you you will always have a reason to smile
@@jellopy24 Thank you so much for your kind words! Your comment truly touched me and reminded me of the beauty in simplicity. Your encouragement to find joy in the little things has uplifted my spirits more than you know. It's comforting to know that there are people like you out there, spreading positivity and understanding. I'll definitely take your advice to heart and cherish those moments of stepping outside and admiring nature. Thank you again, brother, for your support 😊
@@NebulaJohnny I’m really glad 😁
People think they need something to chase after and plan years ahead but once they achieve that goal they’ll just look for another project to consume their time, that feeling of dissatisfaction and craving stimulation will never go away
People are afraid of boredom, sitting with your own thoughts and being aware of your surroundings is a privilege most people won’t ever know
Your purpose is deeper than temporary excitement and unsustainable happiness, without boredom and sorrow to balance it out they become meaningless
Making yourself happy and the people around you, taking advantage of any chance to make someone’s day better as well as your own, that’s what makes a difference and that’s what life should be about
You are special and don’t ever feel like you’re being left behind when you don’t even have to take part in the race
Take every day as it comes and make positive changes, take good care of yourself and remember there is nothing wrong with sitting at home and watching tv. Whatever lifts your spirits my friend 😁🙏🙏
u got this
I got here after an NA meeting where the topic happened to be the first pamphlet I ever picked up at an NA meeting - Self Acceptance. That experience allowed me to build a much greater emotional connection to the meeting and engage way more than I did last week, which goes to show that this stuff builds upon itself. Gonna try it out and really get out there, because if something that small can make such a difference now then imagine down the line!

I chilled in the woods with my brother a couple days ago… straight up really peaceful and a great experience. I’m gonna make sure to seek out more memories like that in the future.
You're absolutely right! I realized these past few days that it's better to go out and explore things than spend time at home, like lying on the bed all the time and watching some productive videos that I still won't apply. Going out makes my mind and body stay present; it lessens my overthinking for the future; and the advantage is that I can create new memories and new discoveries. I'm doing my best to minimize my screen time and do something with what I have today. Big or small actions is still an improvement, one step at a time is an achievement. Have a good day! :)
“Excuse in fancy clothes” is a great quote
I have this mindset of trying new things everyday two and It makes me happy to hear you talk about it with so much passion.
Bro has no enemies
This made me remember what I was trying to do a while ago but loved, in Japan and also just at my home town- I love these adventures, thank you for letting me remember this! Praise the Lord!
Fantastic advice that more people need to hear. I’ve felt this for years but didn’t have the words to describe it. Good for you man, good for everyone else. We cause a ripple and by finding fulfillment and having fun, you rub off very well on others
honestly just your positive attitude and personality made me motivated, i wish more people were as kind and as cool as you
thank you i really appreciate that! :)
Thank you, you're awesome. (and I truly did find your voice enjoyable) 👍
Ayee thank you man :) Really glad you liked the vid (more on the way!) Hope what I say resonates with you :)
thank you. i’ll try my best i really needed this because you described my exact situation. i’m fresh out a relationship and ive been sitting, and i feel like ive been doing nothing and you described my life back to me. I’ve been wanting to do this but im scared to jumpstart it so i’ll try and start small. i really needed this so thank you
Now this one change how I really feel about life. THANKYOU SO MUCH
You really helped me with this video I am 22 and really get obsessed with productivity and organize my life I did found the perfect routine and things and it's work great until I got burn out and realized that why my life is so boring like I wake up every day and it's the same I know I need to work work work and study exercise read books study again for my future success everything is great but... I have realize I am a human after all I have watch Ghibli's films stuff and wonder why my life doesn't feel adventurous like that there is no "Magic" of life like when I was a kid anymore where everyday was an adventure full of meaning and fulfilling feelings now It's mundane I feel BAD even though my strict routine is aim for the success but I am not happy at all this one opener my blindness to the life I am looking for just by watching this and imagine a new way to live life where my life is more balance by this video is giving me back the old feeling from childhood I guess that's excitement thankyou so much I am gonna visit my grandma soon her home really feel like Ghibli's movie too lol with this new perspective and the new way of this I feel very happy now thankyou
PS: sorry for my bad English.
Your English is actually good. I can give a tip.
Best advice I've heard in a while. Most 'productive' videos on TH-cam talk about journaling or studying, those are important but really all you need to do to feel fulfilled in life is to put yourself out there and to try and live your life to the fullest everyday.
This really helps I just go home and sleep everyday 😭
hey u got this man go out ther and /do something/ today 💪
This is a great message, glad I'm on the right track. Im kinda famous at school for doing "Stupid things", but to me its just my way of doing what your saying. For example, things Ive done was....
1. Drag all of the mulch into a huge pile at recess
2. Smuggle grapes in my pockets out to recess and make my own raisins (They tasted pretty good)
2. Crawl through miles of storm drains and tunnel systems
2.5. Sled down a frozen storm drain.
3. Grow a radish in my locker (Used an artificial UV light)
4. Finish lunch at school a minute earlier for a semester (I had to eat lunch in third period)
5. Just riding my bike around other neighborhoods and finding cool bridges
6. Making cringe TH-cam videos with friends. (My favorite)
7. Going to the park and playing soccer
8. Going to graveyards at night
9. Wandered the woods at night (With friends, still terrifying)
10. Literally got lost on purpose (On foot)
Yeah you just gotta put yourself out there and you will see. Once on a sunday I went walking because I had a little hangover and this not a joke. I'll keep it short: I got a job and several signings of famous chess players in the next days.
Im 23 have a degree in college and cannot find a job. My days are almost always the same, thanks for the advice.
I'm also 23, graduated uni, and can't find shit 👍always nice to know someone else is in the same boat (even if our boat sucks rn). All the best
When I was 23 I was in the same scenario. Don't quit and keep sending those CVs! Your days will feel empty but you need to find your own healthy ways to fill them.
(I'm now 25 and have been working for 1 and a half year in my field but it was tough to find the first job).
@@risbryn Exactly.. good luck to you too👍
@@GondorB Ohh I see, that makes me feel better. I'm thinking on actually getting a master degree in anthropology while I work part time at something random. At least that way I might have a bigger chance on working on something I really enjoy in the future
your positivity is infectious!
This is something I've tried to internalized the past few months. Sometimes all you really need is some variety. A variety of experiences goes so far on it's own that it honestly solves more problems than you realize. Every part of our body, including our brain, needs a varied diet.
I've always heard "go out your comfort zone" but honestly I never got that since I interpreted it as a phrase you tell people when they don't wanna do whatever your telling them to do (for me that's dancing, performing, cold approaching, etc.). Now that I know what I thrive on, it's made me feel a lot better
Love this video and can totally agree! 😁
For nearly 1 and a half year ago, I myself spend a lot of time on TH-cam, Netflix and playing videogames... I was so miserable and bored at my life. Therefore I decided to make a huge change. I wanted to show the world who I am and what I'm actually capable to do 😃👍
So because I had used a whole lot of time practicing singing acapella and have been training gymnastic for 15 years... I decided to participate in X-Factor in Denmark this year 😂
I made it through precasting and went to audition to sing infront of the 3 judges... But unfortunatly I didn't went further. Luckily my audition was so original and entertaining because I surprised the judges by making a backflip before singing, so I was shown on TV! 🤯
It has been an amazing journey and adventure, I love just being myself and do what I like in life! 😉👌
I love your energy, your excitement and your warmness. I was really depressed and i needed that. ❤
Good video bro. I think the message you've made in this video is one of the most important ones creators in this space need to start pushing. Just taking a small step out of your comfort zone isn't much, but when compounded every single day it'll really change your life.
Also the amount of editing you did on this video was really well balanced. Many creators in this 'self improvement' niche either do too many edits which takes away from the video, or no edits at which his just boring. Your flow and pacing of B-Roll works really well, and the video is easy to watch. Keep being consistent and your channel will go big, good job bro
Thank you man I really appreciate the words!
I started studying at university in other city two years ago. I was very excited to see place around and live there.
Eventually I started spending days on simple sitting in room and brainless playing games.
And sometimes I realise that I came to this city not to play all day on computer and not only to study but also to experience new region, see new places and have fun with people.
Sometimes you don't really need a lot to have enjoyable life. Sometimes all you have to do is just go outside (even alone) and go to a park, a street or any other place where you've never been and experience it.
I absolutely love living this way, its so freeing to be going at your own pace through the world
Suggestion: Graffiti. Combines exitement, adventure and creativity. And it gives you memories you will never forget.
First you search a Spot, that way you See a Lot of your City in New ways.
Then you do a lookout on one of These spots to See how many people are usually there how risky it is, or how to get there If it's Not easily accesable. And then comes the day of the piece maybe you want to do Something that fits that exact Spot or Just Something quick so you scatch everything out.
And of course (that's optional and I obviously dont ever do that) then you Go there and Put that piece to Work.
That's an Adrenalin Rush youll never get sick of.
And after that you can admire your piece a few days or maybe longer depending in the Spot.
A few weeks ago I went to the skatepark after months of not going and made a new friend and we rode around exploring spots nearby. was a great day.
I recently wrote a list of 100 different things you can do in a day that I wanted to do. Every day I would spin a wheel and pretend it was a random side quest or something. I’m almost through the list, but I’m definitely making another one.
I like your enthusiasm. As someone with ADHD and autism, I have to warn you that not everyone has the type of brain that does this naturally. However, it's very beneficial regardless to think about what we want to experience and live in a state of mind open to experimenting a bit.
This is kind of what running has done for me. It's given me a way to explore new paths and places around me. It's amazing seeing or feeling something i didnt the past day
Yes!!!! more people need to realize how much happier they will be once they start doing different stuff than staring at their phones all day
Dude this is great! It’s so easy to just sit at home and do nothing and make excuses that there’s nothing to do. W mans keep doing your thing!!
Yes, this is what I needed to hear. Thank you!
you really encouraged me to do this bro. I often feel bored and dont know what to do with myself and it drives me insane. thank you
First time I've ever seen your channel, but i love your energy. It's super important to find stuff you enjoy doing. I respect your ability to record yourself and put it out there. Keep up the good work. Life's got tons of stuff to offer once you take the time to look.
Thanks for sharing your perspective 🤓
This is a great video, 1 minute in and I'm already subscribed. My only complaint is I don't know what to do because my parents don't let me outside.
W video, awesome to see what an amazing wholesome community you’ve built up here and how far you’ve come! There’s always someone to talk to in the discord server and get help from and it’s always super active. Keep up the honest bangers! Honestly one of the most real TH-camrs I know. The numbers on this vid are crazy!
next week will be my final week of school before graduating (hopefully if I pass the exams that are yet to come) and I feel like I‘ve wasted so much time by just being inside all day. Once I‘m out of school I will try to experience something new and fun every day. I will start to actually live a life.
I‘ll come back to this in a couple of weeks to see how I‘m doing
Thank you for being so inspiring
:)
:)
so how you doing?
@@thijmen4334 Even tho I had no school the past few weeks I had my final exam this week and I've been so stressed that I have to admit I was still stuck in my room. But now that my nerves finally get some air to breathe, hopefully I will be able to go outside more. I'm planning on fixing my bike in the next couple of days so I can take my camera and discover some abandoned places nearby :D I appreciate you asking though!!
@@Pikaluuu no problem! Gl on your exam
There's like nothing around here. I've been everywhere and things just feel like an never ending loop. There isn't any nature nor walking distance activities + I'm shy to talk to people
any tips for women? I feel like men have such massive privilege for the freedom that they have to just go out and do stuff whenever they like :(
like rn I'm waiting for friends to text me back if they wanna go out tonight. but that's where I find myself all the time, waiting, waiting, waiting... it's definitely too dangerous for a young woman to go partying alone in a bigger city.
I'd love to travel the world! but as a woman I am just too scared to do that alone.
even to just go out for a walk in nature. it just happened a few weeks ago near the city where I live that some guy attacked a woman that was walking outside. I feel trapped...
Start training martial arts, BJJ or something. Find travel groups. Make friends that do cool stuff to encourage you until you feel confident enough yourself. Most of all, partying and going out is the number one thing you should quit. That's by far the riskiest activity compared to the other things you want to do. It might not seem like it, but if you get it out of your system sooner than the rest of your friend group, you'll start to see how sad it is for them.
Continue with what you are doing, man. You motivate people. Send love and peace ✌️
I really like your vibe bro! I wanna start doing more things. Previously I've gone out on my own for walks and stuff and always ended up feeling just frustrated at the end because to get anywhere nice I have to walk through a sea of uk suburban neighborhoods, though I really resonated with what you said when you said that these are just excuses in fancy clothes :D
There are nice places near me and I'm gonna start going out more thanks to this!
You got me to go to a park, catch a sunset and exercise in the process. You a real one Tim, thank you 🤜
I know that what I'm about to say will sound like a justification, but here we go.
I do not have time for this. I wake up at 6, go to school at 7, then I come back around 16. I have to do homework, read school books, tide in the house. I finish everything at 19 or 20. I'm going to work on the weekends now because I need some money for my personal spending, and I want money to make a driver's license.
I come from a lower-class family, and there's no way I could ask my parents to pay for the driver's license expenses. We have financial problems almost all the time.
I see no exit from my situation. Nobody from these motivational videos happens to think that people like me exist. I have almost zero free time.
your hapiness just came thru the screen over to me. thank you so much this video was excatly what I needed to hear right now!☺
i wanna do this, but living in a dangerous city in america is so tiring especially as a girl
I guess that's why we have knives and guns and tasers and shit (even though ideally you shouldn't need that)
I’m a shut in, not by choice. I don’t exactly have opportunities to leave my house mainly because I live in the middle of nowhere so the stores are always 40 minutes or atleast an hour away which I can’t get to because of family. I don’t go to school nor do I have a job but i’ve been trying to leave my house as much as I can but it’s hard to actually go outside and do things whenever I live in the middle of a desert. I desperately want to leave my house but my family isn’t exactly open to those opportunities. The most social interaction I get from people outside of my family are people online. The reason im commenting all of this is because I need advice from people about what I should do considering my situation
i literally went to amsterdam to record a video the day after watching this video (today lol). thank you for the sudden motivation
This is life changing stuff that seems all too obvious. Here’s some ideas that came to mind:
. Spend as much time outside today that you did on your phone yesterday. Check screen time, set your goal then get out there! Time it or just let it flow. In one go or incrementally.
. Go sit somewhere and sketch what you see. (Tree, house, flower, people)
. Ride a bike around town after work (I haven’t ridden a bike in many years!)
. Play tennis at my local outdoor court (solo against a wall or just practice I guess)
. Paint a floral pattern at the top of my wall which goes round my whole room.
. Create a fly for fly fishing.
. Go visit one of those pop up sales/markets even for niche things like CD’s or vintage things.
. Wake up for the sunrise and drive/walk somewhere to see it.
. Learn the stars with Stargazing.
. Find somewhere to sunbathe naked.
. Build a den inside like kids do - or with sticks in the forest.
. Bake something you’ve never made before (tiramisu, doughnuts, cheesecake, chocolate fondue, etc).
. Host a fancy dinner for your family/friends/partner and do as many courses as you can.
. Go on a walk and you’re not allowed to go home till you’ve seen something specific (a breed of bird, a ginger dog, a couple holding hands, certain car etc) or done something (talked to a stranger).
. Skim a stone.
. Go buy street food you never usually try.
. Go knock on the door of a friend’s house and just chat/hang out spontaneously.
. Play a kids game (blocky 123, hop scotch, jump rope, hide and seek).
. Listen in to a religious event (Sunday church, Buddhist meditation)
. Repair something.
. Try to eat every meal outside in a day.
. Pick a bouquet of wild flowers. (Grasses, branches, and dry leaves can work too!)
. Explore a bookshop.

Time for me to read everyone else’s comment for new ideas and hopefully go live some of that good life!
how can someone have so many ideas. i love it
Bro is giving me sidequests and I’m all in for it.
So true man. Lately I've been exercising my own version of this. I feel like once you develope a healthy, beneficial sense of free will, your whole world changes. Your entire life opens up. Life suddenly gains so much meaning. Something as simple as going outside and walking down the road for no reason. People get so stuck and imprisoned in their homes and rooms and gates, its almost like we forget that the rest of the sorld exists. And why not? Why not do That Thing. Why not go on a morning run, even if you've never even considered it before. Why Not spend that extra money to go see some live music, even if its not your favorite genre in the world. And as you excercise this mindset more and more, you build it up. Soon traveling overseas doesnt seem so scary and impossible anymore. Meeting new people, seeing new places, creating new hobbies.
Dude this is legendary.
The TH-cam recommendation and timing is immaculate on this one. Life has been feeling miserable and very repetitve lately.
Thanks for the advice !!
Love this!!! You’re doing great :)
thanks so much :)
Thanks for making this video, you just made free-time sound a lot more valuable for me
Honestly because you walked into the store, they probably thought you might be homeless
What I was thinking aye
This doesn’t mean you won’t have low moments, but your life will overall become better, the lows aren’t so low, great advice

leaving a comment so whenever someone likes it I will be reminded to live my live to the fullest.😊
I found funny how you just described my whole life these days. Watching videos, eating junk food and trying to find some motivation on "how to be productive" videos.
It's time to change, we never know what will be tomorrow. Thanks man 🔥

What he's saying is really true. I occasionally go wander around the town, find places i don't know yet, go into side quests, help the kids to reach their baloon they stuck up the tree, but I don''t do this often enough even though it is so enjoyable. Nowadays we don't do that enough. Thanks for reminding me that.
