Dr K talked about this. He mentioned that the main treatment of ADHD is the removal of stimulus basically, and resetting the bar for what the brain thinks is normal.
How to do that? How do I reset the bar? I've lowered the bar somehow; i don't play games, watch movies or do any of the stimulating stuff, but I'm still watching TH-cam, and maybe that's why I'm not able to sit and study for my exams next week coz it's not fun at all. How do I completely reset the bar?
Lmao so fucking embarassing for a university student complaining about not being able to study for exams. That's what I've been trained to do my entire life and yet here I am
Because school isn’t something to get real education from 🤣 they don’t teach the useful things, they only teach you how to be an employee not how to think or health stuff
As much as I hate it, you’re absolutely right. At my old job I’d be doing 12 hour shifts with no stimulation, I’d find the smallest things hilarious, I’d walk home and everything just looked so beautiful and birds singing in the park sounded like music. The next day when I was off it was like life back to normal cos I was stimulated by my phone, my pc etc etc
@Basedlander It was probably somewhat of his own choice, but might've been necessary to make ends meet. As far as I am aware in the US there is no limit to the hours you can work on a day, so if you wanted to you could literally make 24 hour shifts.
2 Minute rule is key, if you want to become a runner. Make a habit that takes 2 minutes, putting on shoes and going outside for example. That small step is enough to keep the momentum going, the fact that creating momentum only took 2 minutes allows for brakes or less performance earlier because the momentum is easy to create again.
It's mind blowing how in reach your dreams are after you've conquered instant gratification. Went from no degree wagecucking to six figures in less than year just breaking that shit (thinking of making videos on that). I'll even go as far as saying it's going to be the modern survival of the fittest. Anyway, great channel man. These kids have no idea how lucky they are to know this early on.
This is pretty next level stuff. I’ve been on “self-improvement” for a few years now and I have felt pretty lonely throughout bc it’s rare to find people who care enough to adjust their lifestyle to fit what they actually want (eating healthily, exercising, improving mental health). It’s always just people fantasizing about it and never taking action. I imagine you probably feel profoundly more lonely than me since you don’t even indulge in things like games, shows/movies, etc. Your reasoning makes sense but I don’t know if I would even want to do that.

since i "relapsed" on nofap and binge ate, my "momentum" was ruined. I am being 100% honest here: i dread meditating. I still dreaded it a bit back then. But atleast i could easily do 20 mins. Now doing just 5 minutes is very hard for me. I think that it's the binge eating and relapse that sabotaged my reward system. I'll be back on track in no time. I actually still enjoy reading tho

Also, I hate reading now. I read the Harry Potter series when I was in 5th grade, but now, my brain fries after a few pages of a book. It’s sad, but day by day, I’ll read until I read chapters and whole books.
its unbelievably surprising how SIMPLE it is to be happy but how DIFFICULT it is to start. getting the ball rolling is the hardest part. it gets easier from there. sometimes.

I do group personal training. The enthusiasm is contagious, and when I see an old lady lifting more weight than me, it inspired me to work harder.
this is true. When I started making videos it was hard and I didn't know what I was doing. I kept going and now I'm at a point where I get ideas faster and I'm more comfortable speaking on camera. The momentum is real and the hard decision I made 2 months ago has changed my lifestyle completely now. I've built a great small community so far and it brings me joy!
Because of a man named wes watson and hamza ahmed I started to wake up at 3 am everyday consistently I started doing resistance training standard cardio and hiit excercises everyday I do at least a 30 min meditation everyday whether I want 2 or not I also picked up a diet with no sugar or bullshit food And I try to either read or just learn something everyday And the best part is it's not even that hard anymore and because of that I get a huge sense of pride [ Stay on your grind boys ]
As always having a unfiltered is gold, even tho ur speaking harsh facts about us. I would take it as an advice from an older brother that just want the best for his younger brother. Always grateful for you bro , keep it up.
Momentum, that is the essence of improvement. And don't fixate on the beginning, it's a small ball of snow rolling down the Mountain Slope collecting speed and mass. Compound Effect is the real deal and yes do everything you can do to ENJOY the process. Don't commit to something you hate, but something you love.
I come back to this video every time I’m in a rut. This is so helpful to remind myself what has put me there and how to get back out of it. Thank you Hamza
Man this tough love type of video really helps. Its like a big brother I never had. Missed 2 workouts because Im super sick, and I really feel fucking BORED.
right bored AF. with everything its like bruh what is going on in this world, this shit boring from all sides even when doing well, having money, women. its BORING
Because of you Hamza, my life is truly different from February when I began watching, compared today. 6 months later, I persisted from the bullshit part and now I exercise, read, gratitude journal everyday & even started my business. I found all the things I used to enjoy, are mundane now - it was and still is a lonely journey but I don't care because I really prefer the company of myself than all the garbage I used to indulge in with my old friends. I am eternally grateful for waking me up to my true potential ❤ Grateful to have come across your channel bro
The part where you talked to people in the bar instead of scrolling through your phone hits so so much bro its so fucking true man you can make an entire video about not doing the conventional fun stuff for the main channel i tried it today and it helped me so much
I love this talk, relate a lot. It's been 3y I am consistently working out with a real purpose and strategy and I feel this momentum, I feel it strong. Through it I can embrace my body fully and feel grounded. Now got to find the same momentum in other areas of life and I'll be fine ahah Thanks for the video!
Thanks for reminding me that I can and should read the books I'm interested in, I often default to the idea of having to completely push through one book before starting another. Great video 💋💋
I'm not even lying to you man I've become a lot happier and even others have noticed that I have changed as a person since I've started following your guidelines and listening to your advice. My grades have improved and I've made gains, It was hard to abandon my old habits but I pushed through. Keep doing what you're doing, you absolute legend.
I totally agree with you on this. Its like being in creator mindset or consumer mindset. I couldnt get time to sit and read and so started audible to listen and on youtube its mainly self improvement videos and it’s genuinely fun for me! Sometimes i feel like it’s cliché when i see others saying how i dont get tired with all this material and i dont do fun but this is fun for me
4:12 - 6:34 Very important portion of the video . When we leave conventional fun stuff , we start enjoying stuffs like eating vegetables, studying, doing workouts , staying away from mindless scrolling on phone . Ty Hamza ! 🙏🏼
Starting from August 1st, I'm going on a dopamine detox + monk mode for the whole month. been planning on doing it for a little while, I sure hope it helps me to make the hard work fun. Thanks Hamza
I love gratitude journaling, it gives me a small boost of pride; that today I have achieved something, whatever happens throughout the day this day is not a complete loss. I love eating healthier, I’ve quitted all junk food, I never realized healthy food tastes so good until I ate it regularly. I always knew soda was bad for you but I never knew it tasted awful in comparison to a homemade cocktail. I neither like nor dislike meditation, I like feeling more productive after doing it and checking another box from today’s objectives but I don’t necessarily like it. I dislike working out but I like listening to the music playlist I have while working out, I like the pump after the workout but I dislike looking at my body, I’ve only started 25 days ago so I have 0 progress yet. I resent reading books, it’s just that I don’t feel that I implement what I’m taught by books as well as what I implement from reading videos, I like watching a video about maths 10 times more than I like reading a book about it. I haven’t read that much books (about 3-4 not including uni), but I’ve gained nothing from these books, maybe there’s something I can learn that’ll help me implement lessons that I learn from books better, I’d like books if that happens.
Funny how you get so many great tips for self improvement on TH-cam but it’s never everything, but if feel like the more I watch your videos I keep getting those nuggets of information that Weren’t mentioned previously. I feel like I’ve never heard someone mention that I just have to cut everything out that is a distraction, Atleast not as bluntly as you just did. Thank you.
13:20 enjoying the tasks, no longer 'hard work', lower intake & stop ur high dopamine activities 15:10 students: read both 16:1016:49 not investing in a single book, when u have a book on what ur curious abt, allowing yourself to read exactly what ur curious abt X start to finish highlighting
Broo. You hit the nail on this one for me. Everything nowadays for me feels so numb. thing i used to enjoy like watching random youtube videos, working on my projects have become so boring for me. And now that i think about it, sometimes the highlight of my day is going to ph. Since new years tho, iv''e watched your videos and i've actually stoped all these dopamine actvites (smoking weed, watching ph videos, drinking). hopefully this will give me back my motivation and help my self improvment. thanks man. I really like your no bullshit vibe
It’s all about dopamine fasting, being disciplined, being present, and stepping out of your comfort zone. Life is much more interesting and fun when you keep yourself on your toes.
This is so true. Going to the gym consistently makes it easy but as soon as you miss a workout or take a break, the next workout feels so much more difficult
this was what I needed to hear! I want to study Korean, eat healthier, read more, draw more, etc. But instead I just watch TH-cam, eat junk food, watch movies, etc. Because the unhealthy always feels better... at first. But it will turn out bad. The healthy always feels uncomfortable... at first. But it always turns out amazing! Thank u, Imma turn my pc off when I'm done with this vid. I need to take away my electronics from myself and make myself so bored that I would do all those things I actually have been wanting to do.
It's amazing how upfront you are in these videos. You've made me realise that I'm being one of those guys you talked about with only one foot through the door and making this self-improvement a chore. LEGEND
These videos keep pushing me to be greater! Thank you. I can relate to the the reading part. I used to think I had to force myself to read and it didn't become fun. Now I enjoy reading but I'm reading things I was to learn about.
u just made me feel so much better. i literally thought i was weird for enjoying my jobs so much, going to the gym, reading and doing basic things like cleaning and cooking and listening to videos/ podcasts like this. so messed up how society is, honeslty kinda scary. instant gratification.. we are the most impatient species. i feel like once you obtain this mindset, it’s so much harder to find real people with a grateful heart. everyone is just trying to impress society but it just gets you closer to the real ones ❤️
I needed this thank you. Ive been on self improvement for a couple of months now and its been consistent but I still struggle playing video games and stuff.
This is THE best video Hamza can reupload or renew the tribe's attention to woth the size it is right now, it would get so much attention because of saying so much of useful info, holy cow how great this video really is DAMN
at 13:36 when hamza said "why would I watch netflix when I enjoy reading" and I thought about why people who watch netflix dont read, because they say the same thing as hamza but the opposite "why would I read when I enjoy netflix"
Im a single child i have always felt need for a big brother.watching your videos is like being advised by a big brother , i feel happy to discover your channel. Thank you bhaiyyaaa
bruh i literally took a screenshot of this "secret" channel on like 1.1k subs and it's first few videos on like 900-1k views cuz i knew this would happen - ngl im kinda sad cuz this was supposed to be a secret lol but also rly happy for hamza cuz he just isn't stopping - my guy legit hit 200k on the main channel and 11k in like two and a half weeks - pls keep going hamza (and as cliche as this sounds) you're amazing
Every f........king time i say here he go again with all that stuff he already said,and fast forward a few seconds boom another new perspective which is basically me I can't even fathom how much i respect you 😂 buddy you have awaken the beast inside of me who was sleeping for a long time thanks Chad
The art of depravation of highly stimulating things will definitely make you powerful. Even those that run some of the most powerful tech companies make limits on tablet/phone usage of their kids; we just do not see that
i agree with you so much regarding allowing yourself to be curious regarding reading. i got a library card for that exact reason and its so fun to stumble across random books and head back to a chair and pick one from the pile.
I started getting on self improvement around mid February, and was really on and off. Couldn’t stick with quitting bad habits and starting good things, only was working out 2-3 days a week, shit was mad inconsistent i’m ngl. I’m glad to say that this past week I’ve been on top of everything, from working out to sleeping on the right times, and just made this google account so I’m actually using TH-cam solely as a good use of my time. It can be hard to get on top of yourself, but once you get that momentum going you never want to stop. The feeling you get from looking back on a span of time and seeing it with pure pride compares to nothing. The strive for that feeling can be one of the strongest motivations you’ll ever have. I hope by sharing this, some of you who watch this in the future can come and relate to what I’m saying and work on yourselves. Recognize your problems and work to solve them, and make the best version of yourself that you can.
The part where you were talking about the education system made so much sense. I always hated to read in school, I would be absent on the days when you had to return the books and submit your summary so that they know you actually read it. Now I can easily read long research documents and books, because I'm genuinely interested in them and not being forced to do something that I hate. Most people resent themselves because consciously, they are slaving their way to death and they can't do sh*t about it. It's quite sad!
Hamza I've been inconsistent with my self improvement and i've seen the results of both lifestyles this video has helped me significantly. Thanks hamza
Bro don't ever stop with the tough love, just found your videos on this channel and they really resonate with me man, thank you and keep up the good work brother
idek what the main channel is but ive had a couple of these videos recomended to me and im really enjoying the vibe. Hard to find a down to earth realistic prespective on self improvement. Straight to the point and no filter.
Because of you, I've learnt a lot. You are one of the people who have showed me how to be better and I've been doing that slowly for quite some time. Thank you, Hamza.
hamza, the last part where u talk about reading what is fun is so damn true. i think the reason i dread and resent reading right now and am inconsistent is because im forcing myself to read HTWFAIP every single day, even when currently im more curious about the magic of thinking big. i think i should give myself more autonomy while reading and read the things im curious about every day. thank you so much for this video. ❤❤😄
Super good content Hamza. I stopped watching TH-cam videos on 1.5x or 2x because I was just trying to get more stimulus and the normal speed videos were getting boring. Thank you for the wisdom :)
Im gonna sell my xbox after this. Its been a 12 year addiction. I managed to get a lot of shit done on the side but the gym wasnt one of them. I always had cycles when I got back to playing and slowing my career/studies down. Its time for a change. Its literally your first video I see and u already helped. Thanks
At work right now a bit early before my shift starts, watching this made me realize that my work isn’t actually bad at all, I’m just used to overstimulation which is why I dread coming here every morning. ( I’m on my phone first thing in the morning) thx for helping me back into the right mindset, hamzas the g.o.a.t 🐐
Hamza, please make these kind of videos again. The dim lights, the feeling that you're talking to me one on one, the longer high ROI videos. I miss these, in my honest opinion hamza unfiltered peaked in this era
Man, this second channel is a pure goldmine. You've already been showing somewhat of your true side on the main one but this one is on another level. It's literally like listening to your friend's advice.
Hamza you reminded me of my 18 year old self when I had decided to go into the Marine corp I experienced a level of discipline from myself I’d hadn’t seen before! They rejected me and I allowed myself to become depressed and on top of that the girl I was dating lost interest me, and instead of continuing my progress i failed myself and all my progress melted away. I went from have a great physique and practicing parkour everyday to becoming fat and injured. I was going to massage school at that time and again I saw great progress for the first time in my life and once I let myself become depressed it all went down hill from there. Anyway guys that momentum comes from getting to it everyday with every decision, The power is your hands to create or destroy! I hope all you create a good day
bro the reading part was so relatable because I had to read some Aboriginal culture and spirituality books for school and I had resentment towards reading, now I am starting to pursue enterpernureship and reading books like the Dotcom Secrets Trilogy and now I am only starting to enjoy reading now I cut off my other high 'dopamine' activities
Around a year ago i used to enjoy reading books but now i pretty much got out of it so its pretty obvious i gotta cut out a load of shit from my life so i can get back to my younger self
Honestly bro iam glad I found your videos you know a lot of women I dated viewed me as Chad but after a while things starting to take a turn for me in a bad way all of them left I realized how much potiental I have and how much of a loser I was but now I want to redeem myself for a lot of stuff so thank you for making these videos and if anyone in the comments also give me some things to self improve I would appreciate it :)
This is really motivational especially when working on my channel. Its not always going to be smooth sailing but living in the present and truly enjoying what you are doing will bring success.

Never underestimate the power of consistency!

Just wake up with the sun, 3am up is probably not sustainable.
All he did was spread the knowledge my boy, give yourself some more credit 💪🏾❤️
dont train everyday rest days are important too!
@@neil9151 different muscle groups every day and he can train basically every day. 6 day split gives 48 hour rest period for each muscle group
As always having a unfiltered is gold, even tho ur speaking harsh facts about us. I would take it as an advice from an older brother that just want the best for his younger brother. Always grateful for you bro , keep it up.
Momentum, that is the essence of improvement. And don't fixate on the beginning, it's a small ball of snow rolling down the Mountain Slope collecting speed and mass. Compound Effect is the real deal and yes do everything you can do to ENJOY the process. Don't commit to something you hate, but something you love.
I come back to this video every time I’m in a rut. This is so helpful to remind myself what has put me there and how to get back out of it.
Thank you Hamza
Man this tough love type of video really helps. Its like a big brother I never had. Missed 2 workouts because Im super sick, and I really feel fucking BORED.
right bored AF. with everything its like bruh what is going on in this world, this shit boring from all sides even when doing well, having money, women. its BORING
Same bro, was in such a groove with the gym and then I got sick and had to stay home. Been ITCHING to get back. I’ll never take it for granted again.
Because of you Hamza, my life is truly different from February when I began watching, compared today. 6 months later, I persisted from the bullshit part and now I exercise, read, gratitude journal everyday & even started my business. I found all the things I used to enjoy, are mundane now - it was and still is a lonely journey but I don't care because I really prefer the company of myself than all the garbage I used to indulge in with my old friends. I am eternally grateful for waking me up to my true potential ❤ Grateful to have come across your channel bro
The part where you talked to people in the bar instead of scrolling through your phone hits so so much bro
its so fucking true man you can make an entire video about not doing the conventional fun stuff for the main channel i tried it today and it helped me so much

Older people need this information as well , it’s paramount. I’m starting to share this as well.
00:10 🤣🤣 is it just me watched it twice ?
love you hamza, your videos are great for grounding me when im lacking
I love this talk, relate a lot. It's been 3y I am consistently working out with a real purpose and strategy and I feel this momentum, I feel it strong. Through it I can embrace my body fully and feel grounded.
Now got to find the same momentum in other areas of life and I'll be fine ahah
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for reminding me that I can and should read the books I'm interested in, I often default to the idea of having to completely push through one book before starting another. Great video 💋💋
I'm not even lying to you man I've become a lot happier and even others have noticed that I have changed as a person since I've started following your guidelines and listening to your advice. My grades have improved and I've made gains, It was hard to abandon my old habits but I pushed through. Keep doing what you're doing, you absolute legend.
7:38 "Our emotions are always based on relevance" literally so freaking true wtf!!
That reading books advice for students is really good input.
I totally agree with you on this. Its like being in creator mindset or consumer mindset. I couldnt get time to sit and read and so started audible to listen and on youtube its mainly self improvement videos and it’s genuinely fun for me! Sometimes i feel like it’s cliché when i see others saying how i dont get tired with all this material and i dont do fun but this is fun for me
4:12 - 6:34 Very important portion of the video . When we leave conventional fun stuff , we start enjoying stuffs like eating vegetables, studying, doing workouts , staying away from mindless scrolling on phone .
Ty Hamza ! 🙏🏼
Starting from August 1st, I'm going on a dopamine detox + monk mode for the whole month. been planning on doing it for a little while, I sure hope it helps me to make the hard work fun.
Thanks Hamza
How’s it going?
I love gratitude journaling, it gives me a small boost of pride; that today I have achieved something, whatever happens throughout the day this day is not a complete loss.
I love eating healthier, I’ve quitted all junk food, I never realized healthy food tastes so good until I ate it regularly. I always knew soda was bad for you but I never knew it tasted awful in comparison to a homemade cocktail.
I neither like nor dislike meditation, I like feeling more productive after doing it and checking another box from today’s objectives but I don’t necessarily like it.
I dislike working out but I like listening to the music playlist I have while working out, I like the pump after the workout but I dislike looking at my body, I’ve only started 25 days ago so I have 0 progress yet.
I resent reading books, it’s just that I don’t feel that I implement what I’m taught by books as well as what I implement from reading videos, I like watching a video about maths 10 times more than I like reading a book about it. I haven’t read that much books (about 3-4 not including uni), but I’ve gained nothing from these books, maybe there’s something I can learn that’ll help me implement lessons that I learn from books better, I’d like books if that happens.
Funny how you get so many great tips for self improvement on TH-cam but it’s never everything, but if feel like the more I watch your videos I keep getting those nuggets of information that Weren’t mentioned previously. I feel like I’ve never heard someone mention that I just have to cut everything out that is a distraction, Atleast not as bluntly as you just did. Thank you.
13:20 enjoying the tasks, no longer 'hard work', lower intake & stop ur high dopamine activities
15:10 students: read both
16:10 16:49 not investing in a single book,
when u have a book on what ur curious abt, allowing yourself to read exactly what ur curious abt
X start to finish highlighting
Got to give you credit Hamza, most youtubers with 2nd channels barely upload to them - but your 2nd channel is a gold mine.
Broo. You hit the nail on this one for me. Everything nowadays for me feels so numb. thing i used to enjoy like watching random youtube videos, working on my projects have become so boring for me. And now that i think about it, sometimes the highlight of my day is going to ph. Since new years tho, iv''e watched your videos and i've actually stoped all these dopamine actvites (smoking weed, watching ph videos, drinking). hopefully this will give me back my motivation and help my self improvment. thanks man. I really like your no bullshit vibe
It’s all about dopamine fasting, being disciplined, being present, and stepping out of your comfort zone. Life is much more interesting and fun when you keep yourself on your toes.
This is so true. Going to the gym consistently makes it easy but as soon as you miss a workout or take a break, the next workout feels so much more difficult
this was what I needed to hear! I want to study Korean, eat healthier, read more, draw more, etc.
But instead I just watch TH-cam, eat junk food, watch movies, etc.
Because the unhealthy always feels better... at first. But it will turn out bad.
The healthy always feels uncomfortable... at first. But it always turns out amazing!
Thank u, Imma turn my pc off when I'm done with this vid. I need to take away my electronics from myself and make myself so bored that I would do all those things I actually have been wanting to do.
I love u Hamza ur literally changing my life mate. I will be as hard of a worker as you even surpass you inshallah.
Spot on Bro. Spot on.
Momentum is a keyword ive figured out for myself. Thanks for the video. Keep it up
I am Hamza’s biggest fan
2:35 that car passed at the perfect time
It's amazing how upfront you are in these videos. You've made me realise that I'm being one of those guys you talked about with only one foot through the door and making this self-improvement a chore. LEGEND
This channel might be even better .. not filtered no bs.. pure love from hamza :)
All best from Poland Bro
Janus
These videos keep pushing me to be greater! Thank you. I can relate to the the reading part. I used to think I had to force myself to read and it didn't become fun. Now I enjoy reading but I'm reading things I was to learn about.
Thank you man !!! Needed this kick few months back, it’s beginning to feel like auto pilot. No porn, drugs or fast food. I’m going to the moon
You're a smart guy, so young too. Happy for you, man. Keep up the good work
u just made me feel so much better. i literally thought i was weird for enjoying my jobs so much, going to the gym, reading and doing basic things like cleaning and cooking and listening to videos/ podcasts like this. so messed up how society is, honeslty kinda scary. instant gratification.. we are the most impatient species.
i feel like once you obtain this mindset, it’s so much harder to find real people with a grateful heart. everyone is just trying to impress society but it just gets you closer to the real ones ❤️
I needed this thank you. Ive been on self improvement for a couple of months now and its been consistent but I still struggle playing video games and stuff.
The way you described the one foot in self improvement one foot in normality is a phase I’ve been working to break through for a bit now.
''Our emotions are based on relavance.''
Thank you
i needed to get work done, this came up on my recommended when i was starting to slouch, thank you hamza
This is THE best video Hamza can reupload or renew the tribe's attention to woth the size it is right now, it would get so much attention because of saying so much of useful info, holy cow how great this video really is DAMN
at 13:36 when hamza said "why would I watch netflix when I enjoy reading" and I thought about why people who watch netflix dont read, because they say the same thing as hamza but the opposite "why would I read when I enjoy netflix"
Im a single child i have always felt need for a big brother.watching your videos is like being advised by a big brother , i feel happy to discover your channel.
Thank you bhaiyyaaa
bruh i literally took a screenshot of this "secret" channel on like 1.1k subs and it's first few videos on like 900-1k views cuz i knew this would happen - ngl im kinda sad cuz this was supposed to be a secret lol but also rly happy for hamza cuz he just isn't stopping - my guy legit hit 200k on the main channel and 11k in like two and a half weeks - pls keep going hamza (and as cliche as this sounds) you're amazing
thank you bro
Every f........king time i say here he go again with all that stuff he already said,and fast forward a few seconds boom another new perspective which is basically me I can't even fathom how much i respect you 😂 buddy you have awaken the beast inside of me who was sleeping for a long time thanks Chad
i kinda get jealous when this channel gets more views cuz this shit is rarer than a diamond. Keep it up you magnificent bastard
The art of depravation of highly stimulating things will definitely make you powerful. Even those that run some of the most powerful tech companies make limits on tablet/phone usage of their kids; we just do not see that
i agree with you so much regarding allowing yourself to be curious regarding reading. i got a library card for that exact reason and its so fun to stumble across random books and head back to a chair and pick one from the pile.
I started getting on self improvement around mid February, and was really on and off. Couldn’t stick with quitting bad habits and starting good things, only was working out 2-3 days a week, shit was mad inconsistent i’m ngl. I’m glad to say that this past week I’ve been on top of everything, from working out to sleeping on the right times, and just made this google account so I’m actually using TH-cam solely as a good use of my time. It can be hard to get on top of yourself, but once you get that momentum going you never want to stop. The feeling you get from looking back on a span of time and seeing it with pure pride compares to nothing. The strive for that feeling can be one of the strongest motivations you’ll ever have. I hope by sharing this, some of you who watch this in the future can come and relate to what I’m saying and work on yourselves. Recognize your problems and work to solve them, and make the best version of yourself that you can.
The part where you were talking about the education system made so much sense. I always hated to read in school, I would be absent on the days when you had to return the books and submit your summary so that they know you actually read it. Now I can easily read long research documents and books, because I'm genuinely interested in them and not being forced to do something that I hate. Most people resent themselves because consciously, they are slaving their way to death and they can't do sh*t about it. It's quite sad!
That bit about emotional relevancy is actually so true, wow lol I'm amazed 🤯😂
Does a car accelerate immediately after being at rest or does it take a few seconds? It's the same with working out and other things.
Great analogy.
Great anology, mate.
Amazing analogy brother
Nice analogy, friend.
Why does it feel like I accidentally established a cult where all members praise me for my analogies XD
Hamza I've been inconsistent with my self improvement and i've seen the results of both lifestyles this video has helped me significantly. Thanks hamza
Bro don't ever stop with the tough love, just found your videos on this channel and they really resonate with me man, thank you and keep up the good work brother
Love Hamza, I'm incorporating workouts and reading into my schedule next to my studies. Great vid
idek what the main channel is but ive had a couple of these videos recomended to me and im really enjoying the vibe. Hard to find a down to earth realistic prespective on self improvement. Straight to the point and no filter.
12:30 To quote Kevin Samuels, "You'll never outperform your expectations". James Clear is correct too with his paraphrase.
As much as as I hate saying it he’s right, even if it’s not the answer we wanted but what we needed. 💯🧠
Because of you, I've learnt a lot. You are one of the people who have showed me how to be better and I've been doing that slowly for quite some time. Thank you, Hamza.
hamza, the last part where u talk about reading what is fun is so damn true. i think the reason i dread and resent reading right now and am inconsistent is because im forcing myself to read HTWFAIP every single day, even when currently im more curious about the magic of thinking big. i think i should give myself more autonomy while reading and read the things im curious about every day. thank you so much for this video. ❤❤😄
Very true, The best way to get reading is to read things you actually enjoy.
The Indian accent was way too relatable
Loved it. I share everything you say but time to time I find my self struggling again. Thanks for the constant reminder
Thank you Hamza, your video made me realize just how good of a thing it is to hate not going to the gym.
Im grateful to myself for being on selfimprovement so long that these long ass rant videos are super fun to watch.
Super good content Hamza. I stopped watching TH-cam videos on 1.5x or 2x because I was just trying to get more stimulus and the normal speed videos were getting boring. Thank you for the wisdom :)
Im gonna sell my xbox after this. Its been a 12 year addiction. I managed to get a lot of shit done on the side but the gym wasnt one of them. I always had cycles when I got back to playing and slowing my career/studies down. Its time for a change. Its literally your first video I see and u already helped. Thanks
this guy is a gem 💯
I always watch in 2x but this time decided to chill with you in 1x. Loved it 😌
lolll glad to see someone does this too hahahh.
depends on my mood and the creator. usually 1.75x is the spot lolll
At work right now a bit early before my shift starts, watching this made me realize that my work isn’t actually bad at all, I’m just used to overstimulation which is why I dread coming here every morning. ( I’m on my phone first thing in the morning) thx for helping me back into the right mindset, hamzas the g.o.a.t 🐐
Hamza, please make these kind of videos again. The dim lights, the feeling that you're talking to me one on one, the longer high ROI videos. I miss these, in my honest opinion hamza unfiltered peaked in this era
Definitely one of the realest youtubers out there thanks bro
Man, this second channel is a pure goldmine. You've already been showing somewhat of your true side on the main one but this one is on another level. It's literally like listening to your friend's advice.
god damn dude mad respect. this shit genuinely motivates me
I wish watching these videos was a mandatory thing in society
Hamza you reminded me of my 18 year old self when I had decided to go into the Marine corp I experienced a level of discipline from myself I’d hadn’t seen before!
They rejected me and I allowed myself to become depressed and on top of that the girl I was dating lost interest me, and instead of continuing my progress i failed myself and all my progress melted away. I went from have a great physique and practicing parkour everyday to becoming fat and injured.
I was going to massage school at that time and again I saw great progress for the first time in my life and once I let myself become depressed it all went down hill from there.
Anyway guys that momentum comes from getting to it everyday with every decision,
The power is your hands to create or destroy!
I hope all you create a good day
Appreciate the brutal honesty man! Getting the ball rolling again for myself
bro the reading part was so relatable because I had to read some Aboriginal culture and spirituality books for school and I had resentment towards reading, now I am starting to pursue enterpernureship and reading books like the Dotcom Secrets Trilogy and now I am only starting to enjoy reading now I cut off my other high 'dopamine' activities
Mate your a refreshing change from the norm, wish you big success bro
Around a year ago i used to enjoy reading books but now i pretty much got out of it so its pretty obvious i gotta cut out a load of shit from my life so i can get back to my younger self
Honestly bro iam glad I found your videos you know a lot of women I dated viewed me as Chad but after a while things starting to take a turn for me in a bad way all of them left I realized how much potiental I have and how much of a loser I was but now I want to redeem myself for a lot of stuff so thank you for making these videos and if anyone in the comments also give me some things to self improve I would appreciate it :)
It only feels like hard work when you’re not having fun
💯
i love you man, you´re literally a big brother to me
This is really motivational especially when working on my channel. Its not always going to be smooth sailing but living in the present and truly enjoying what you are doing will bring success.
