Key takeaways: 1. Calm the mind using yoga nidra/meditation. 2. Plant the subconscious seed, reinforced for a year. 3. Cover all your material before class, and use class as revision.
I think that is actually the reason why he did so well, the revision. tons of data shows that its not how long you take to learn or how long you study but how often you revisit it in a certain short period of time.
@@kevinthai6777 The sunkalpa from what I understand is just something that you want to "anchor" in your mind. It's different for every person. Once your mind is calm and at a baseline from yoga nidra, you think of the sunkalp to "plant" deep into your mind. It can be something like "I deserve to feel fulfillment" or "I am calm and relaxed". It just depends on what you want to plant into your mind.
Notes: -Have a calm and clear mind when learning. Distractions while learning will muddy up what was learned in your memory. Doing studying first thing in the morning is a good example -Knowledge that was well processed (due to lack of distraction) will become easier to recall -Coming to class having already understood the subjects will essentially turn class into a review session, which makes the learning process even better -Making it a habit to perform certain meditation practices will increase focus

Late to the party but I'm glad I was a psych minor. In Cognitive Psych, you learn basically how the brain learns. With distractions and all that, it pertains to cognitive load. The analogy my professor gave us is we operate like a computer with a finite amount of working memory (what we actively use). When we wake up, it's like a fresh start on a computer, no programs running, no windows open, maximum amount of memory to utilize. As the day goes on, various things will begin to clutter that memory making tasks slower and less efficient. This can be daily stressors, forgetting an assignment, being late to work, etc. For me, meditation allows me to open the task manager and close tasks that are cluttering my memory. There's a lot that goes into remembering info so I'll give a personal analogy that I made: You have a knowledge map. Everything you know is like pins on that map. As you learn more information you add more pins. Now imagine drawing lines between pins that are related to each other. The more lines you can connect to that pin, the easier it is to make a path so to speak to get there, thus its easier to retrieve that information. Repetition would be adding more pins to a location. Over time, you have a mountain of pins that you can't help but notice. The thing is, just like in real life, "paths" and "clearings" (where the pins are) become overgrown when not used. So one must continue to use paths and finding those pins or risk losing them/they become harder to find. So when learning new information, try to connect it in someway with things that you already know.

bro I don't know why TH-cam suddenly came up with the idea to recommend this video to me, but your channel is absolute gold. Everything makes sense ur saying. I can relate perfectly :)
This is what works for me. Ofcourse with a relaxed state of mind explained like in the video. Morning reviews (also before your tests/exams) and when I'm alone with some background music does wonders. Also keep your testosteron high to have/possess more focus ;-).
I just recently started meditating for 30 minutes every morning. When I hope my eyes and move for the first time afterwards its like this crazy clarity and crispness. It's actually amazing.
In Bangladesh from 1st to 4th year of medical school we have an excellent system. Almost everyday we have a small (full marks 10) viva exam on a particular chapter. If anyone prepares regularly for these small exams, big exams become very easy.
One thing to add is to have a calm state when doing your test, if you can replicate the conditions you had when you studied (well rested, calm), you'll have a greater chance in recall and concentration. That's why you blank during a test, because your are anxious and in a different mind state. Calm down take a few breaths and it'll surely reap benefits.
Only on the 2nd day of studying in the morning before work, but what a difference compared to after 8hrs of work. Yesterday I was reading a paragraph and had to re read every sentence a couple of times. This morning I almost breezed through it. It is well worth waking up earlier to study because in the end it will save you a shit ton of time.
I absolutely adore how you using gaming terms to explain things that you talk about. And I appreciate how candid and honest you are when you speak. I'm glad I found your channel
Nice video. He touches on something similar to a term in neuroscience called the locus of control. Basically it explains that you can do better in school or work or whatever and remain motivated if you believe that you are in control of the outcomes. People who think they are good at something because they are naturally talented don’t always succeed because they feel out of control when they fail. If you believe you’re failure is due to you not trying hard enough then it is easier to get better and succeed later on.
I always wondered how I averaged so high in my second year of study compared to my third. I averaged 78% in my second year and 64% in my third year. I always thought it was because I was really competitive and when I had just broken up with my ex girlfriend at the time (who was a high achiever of something like 85% avg) so I wanted to best her in what she did best (which is really toxic come to think of it). This has made me realise that my second year of study is the only year where I actively meditated every morning when I woke up at 5am every day to do so. Referring to what was said at 17:15 I now understand that my lack of focus and the difficulties I came across for my final year was because of the healthiest habit I stopped doing.
ahhh yes, I had a similar thing happen to me (like your ex-gf) I had a male friend who would treat me like absolute garbage and gaslight me as if I was responsible for how he behaved, so when I finally like stopped talking to him I had this huge urge to be better than him in studies. It was quite toxic mindset (kinda like hustle culture) but still ended up benefiting me with motivation. It's not a good practice, but it works to a small extent.
On the topic of luck, there is the idea "I make my own luck." The premise is that if you are looking for something that is based on chance, then putting yourself in situations where the chance of what you want to have happen is more likely, and preparing to be able to recognize and capitalize on a chance when it comes; that's what it means to make your own luck. It's still based on chance, but you could go from 5% likely to have a positive outcome to a 60% chance of positive and a 5% chance of extraordinary
i actually did this, not for studying, but for going to the gym. I have some kind of social anxiety about going outside in general, i figured out that its always early mornings where my brain was completely quiet **as long as you're not sleep deprived** and i was able to get myself outside without having a recurring voice in my head saying "no you can't its better to stay in" or "what if this" or "what if that" constantly making me doubt myself. It's a good time to build discipline because your brain doesn't resist you that much (if not sleep deprived), and if you manage to build on top of that, theoretically, you're pretty much set. *I say as long as you're not sleep deprived cause when you dont get enough sleep and you wake up that early, you're kind of still in a weird half delirious dream state where your mind is telling you that cereal is technically a soup
You're an inspiration and this video is exactly what I've been searching for. I've been batting around the idea of med school for psych rather than a PhD and it's videos like this that really help me to move forward in the MD direction
DUDE I don't know if I'm seeing your videos in the middle of an exposure explosion or not. But your content is phenomenal and the delivery is very well directed to the target audience. You are making huge changes in lots of peoples lives with this content, keep it up.
I study 0 hours in med school. Im surprised i havent been kicked out yet. My grades are shit. I have anxiety and i want to die. Im not looking forward to post grad internship
I haven’t started practice most of the things that you have talked about yet, but just watching these videos make me feel inspired enough to keep going. Thanks mate
Growing up and to this day I'm referred to as the "smart one" in the family. I've always countered that I'm not smarter, rather I just "get it" the first time around which gives me a slight advantage. 1-2% which makes a difference in the long run and compounds. I've also, since I can remember, practiced pseudo-meditation (not sure what else to call it) by listening to hours of classical music - probably connected to the belief that classical music makes you smarter and stuff - and movie/game music scores, along with actual meditations, to practice "zenning out". This is first time I've heard anyone suggest a link between the two and it's something that I'd never considered. Can't wait to test this in my next meditation 😁. Great vid doc and thanks for the life changing lesson 🙏
This reminds of a time when I got sick and had to stop attending school for about 2-3 weeks, I had not been absent from school in the middle of a semester for that many days in a row before, so I REALLY panicked that I'd be super lost once I do go back, especially math since it was particularly hard for me, so I decided to set down and study what I might have missed. Once I did start attending guess what? Turns out I studied the material up to over a month ahead LOOOL! I seriously didn't expect that, never noticed how slow we tended to go through the textbook. So like you said the class became review, in fact I got to be more prepared in asking about the things that I didn't understand, when normally I get so overwhelmed that I don't even know what questions to ask during class.
I was a fourth year medic in the UK and hadn't spent a single day revising, eventually that caught up with me and I got kicked out. Looking back this was a good thing, medicine was never something I wanted to do and more something that other people expected me to do. I am much happier now applying my abilities to something I'm passionate about.
@@themagnificentorange672 I work as a teacher in a secondary and sixth form college. I occasionally lecture at the nearby university and Im working towards leadership and policy within the education sector.
It's way easier to work on something you're invested in, if you get an assignment that bores you see if your professor will let you submit a different assignment that covers the material but is way more interesting to you.
I studied only for exams and like 5-6 days before them too. Played videos games/went out the rest of the time. Now I have a successful business venture and couldn't be happier. What I learned from all this is - It's not about the amount of time/effort you put into studying, it's about the quality of information you retain for years after that. I can honestly say 80-90% of the things I studied in college, university and both of my master degrees have no real world applications, the remaining 10% however, have served me well.
You just talked about so many concepts in psychology while explaining it like a “gamer”. I like that. Another tip : Aim high when preparing for an exam. Don’t tell yourself : I’m gonna try to get 75%. You will most likely fall below the goal that you have set out for yourself. A study found that 2 people with the same capabilities, that set different goals : Person #1 set a goal to 75% Person #2 set a goal to 90% The person with the more difficult goal (90%) will have a significantly better score at the same exam. Obviously you have to have some confidence and you have to be willing to push yourself but all in all = aim higher!
One thing to add is to have a calm state when doing your test, if you can replicate the conditions you had when you studied (well rested, calm), you'll have a greater chance in recall and concentration. That's why you blank during a test, because your are anxious and in a different mind state. Calm down take a few breaths and it'll surely reap benefits.
your last tip is literally the only thing Elon Musk ever does. “Oh yeah we are totally accomplishing this in 6 months”, while everyone thinks it will take a year. In the end it takes 9 months so the self set goal wasn’t reached, but it was still quicker than what most people expected.
Holy shit. Thanks master. I was ignoring TH-cam's recommendations to watch you for quite a while because I have removed myself from gaming a while ago, but I don't regret watching this. I rarely subscribe after watching one video, but there it is.
well ive tried waking up tp study early in the morning before school and i would study from 4.30am till 6.45am. It really helped me remember things better and i went from failing papers to scoring almost straight A's in all my exams. I will start trying out meditation and yoga nidra next time.
I watched your interview with LilyPichu, and you mentioned something about how falling asleep was easier when waking up, since your mind is clear when you wake up. Interesting to see that same concept applied to comprehending information.
Dude you are simply, very great. No mucking about, just clear and to the point. Taking away the make believe and fantasy and giving real direction. Very well done and thank you Healthy Gamer
I stopped the video so I can jump straight in. Honestly a game changer, I'm very visual so I was able to see some beautiful scenery while dropping positive messages from time to time. Thank you Dr. honestly going to chase this state in my free time I finally get those crazy monks in the mountains
funny part is I procrastinated watching this video, had it tabbed for a couple of days but I knew I needed to watch it eventually - that was my mistake
Thank you, man! Even tho I thought I would need a full interview to fix all this mess inside, just watching these videos feels like I am extremely close to that regardless!

What he's talkign about, doing notes before class then class is review, a lot of my classes have started adopting this as their schedule now! Notes are posted online, then classes are literally just review recitations. Glad the world is catching up to this big brained man
Bro the imagery of fighting back the negative thoughts.... it's literally been 22 years of that. Holy fuck. Calm the mind. Plant the inspiration. Then I won't hate myself as much. Less internal violence. wow. im crying
I totally get the idea of planting a way in your head instead of pushing down the thoughts with will power. I have done that myself in a few practices where I sit and ask myself questions and just let myself be instead of forcing myself to do something (since at times I just get back to overthinking due to the past patterns) I sit down without forcing it and then my mind calms down and then I can actually do that thing and there so more understanding instead of resistance, now idk if i should call the later iterations of it discipline or not but understanding something does make it effortless and then you just have to make a choice, you only got to choose an action instead of making up an excuse which our brain tries to lure us into for instant gratification. 1. Pausing and slowing down helps 2. Allowing yourself to question the why behind the resistance helps I think in my opinion I was taught that efforts are admirable and you have force yourself and so whenever i did things the other way around and found that to be effortless after the adding this one more step to it, I felt like I wasn't hard working since it all happened from the inside now, this must be the next thing for me to accept and see what's next here. I think the idea of replacing the constant will power against resistance practice to planting something to replace it, to understand the real resistance deep within is the real mastery. Then you can actually willingly put in efforts because you know the reason behind your patterns.
I'd to recommend for my exp vipassana, is a really deep meditation technique that can help you achive incredible concentration levels, but that actually would be a tiny feature compared to its main goal. There is a bunch of official centers around the world that I'd recommend to visit instead of trying to learn it by yourself. Peace!
I learned it in a brutally hard way that READING information does not correlate to UNDERSTANDING it. I failed a few of the most important national level exams and a while after that setback I realised an incredibly important thing which is that I actually went by READING information like a zombie but did not take the time to UNDERSTAND concepts. Realising this difference is the most important lesson I learned and its one of the important distinctions I was able to identify. Now I am doing better just because I started thinking through things instead of shallowly going about them.
This was eye opening. I'm incredibly grateful that I found you. I also like your motivation. Please continue with what you're trying to do. It already helped so many :). Just as a suggestion: Once you start throwing around these indian words and different meditational forms, it would be great if you could write them down in your description. I'd like to try what you're suggesting, I just don't know how to find it initially.
Thank you for sharing this, been dealing with cognitive dissonance and subconscious bias' for a while now and only recently started to hit my stride in life both creatively and emotionally. The source code analogy in particular resonated with me, as I have been trying to "de frag" my mind and output more stuff that bubbles up naturally/intrinsically. The toughest part of all this was to have the ability to reflect and truly do everything I could individually to be happier and progress before looking at any external factors. I love the incorporation of gaming, philosophical application of mindset, and lifestyle all together. Inspires me to say the least :)
never realized actual foundational change is dependent on quieting the mind and then implementing change. its hardly productive to try and implement change when your mind is busy and everywhere at once
This video was very enlightening. I think I have unintentionally given myself a sunkalpa over the last couple of years in the form of "No one is perfect. We're all fallible human beings. It's okay to mess up from time to time."
I love myself. I have a hard time imagining how it must feel to not feel that way about oneself. I mean, there are a lot of things I'm not happy with regarding myself, but I still love myself, but I don't think that's what it's about.
Found this video at the perfect time. I heard about yoga nidra a while back, but didn’t have any direction in life, so no sunculpa seemed right. Now I’m entering a phase of my life where I have much more direction, and I’ve got some great sunculpas I’m looking forward to implanting.
I just wanna say thank you for your viedeos they help me aaa Looot. your viedeos aren’t like these unrealistic „you can do this, if you fight enough“ viedeos, your viedeos are real solutions for huge problems in my life, thank u

There's a lot that goes into remembering info so I'll give a personal analogy that I made:
You have a knowledge map. Everything you know is like pins on that map. As you learn more information you add more pins. Now imagine drawing lines between pins that are related to each other. The more lines you can connect to that pin, the easier it is to make a path so to speak to get there, thus its easier to retrieve that information. Repetition would be adding more pins to a location. Over time, you have a mountain of pins that you can't help but notice. The thing is, just like in real life, "paths" and "clearings" (where the pins are) become overgrown when not used.

Yeah, the brain is associative. You need to be linking information together to be able to remember it. A random fact which has no assosiative links in your brain will be forgotten.
Yes, this shows understanding, and the ability to associate what you now know with what you already know, this is strongly supported by cognitive science. combine that with steady revisiting the idea several times over a short period of time essentially cements the concepts.
When you can teach a subject you have more understanding.

My best study tip is active recall and spaced repetition
This is what works for me. Ofcourse with a relaxed state of mind explained like in the video. Morning reviews (also before your tests/exams) and when I'm alone with some background music does wonders. Also keep your testosteron high to have/possess more focus ;-).

In Bangladesh from 1st to 4th year of medical school we have an excellent system. Almost everyday we have a small (full marks 10) viva exam on a particular chapter. If anyone prepares regularly for these small exams, big exams become very easy.

@@username-yn5yo True..
One thing to add is to have a calm state when doing your test, if you can replicate the conditions you had when you studied (well rested, calm), you'll have a greater chance in recall and concentration. That's why you blank during a test, because your are anxious and in a different mind state. Calm down take a few breaths and it'll surely reap benefits.
Such great content I'm so grateful that I found your stream
Only on the 2nd day of studying in the morning before work, but what a difference compared to after 8hrs of work.
Yesterday I was reading a paragraph and had to re read every sentence a couple of times.
This morning I almost breezed through it. It is well worth waking up earlier to study because in the end it will save you a shit ton of time.
I absolutely adore how you using gaming terms to explain things that you talk about. And I appreciate how candid and honest you are when you speak. I'm glad I found your channel

Fun fact: this guy invented the definition of 5head
Nice video. He touches on something similar to a term in neuroscience called the locus of control. Basically it explains that you can do better in school or work or whatever and remain motivated if you believe that you are in control of the outcomes. People who think they are good at something because they are naturally talented don’t always succeed because they feel out of control when they fail. If you believe you’re failure is due to you not trying hard enough then it is easier to get better and succeed later on.
I always wondered how I averaged so high in my second year of study compared to my third. I averaged 78% in my second year and 64% in my third year. I always thought it was because I was really competitive and when I had just broken up with my ex girlfriend at the time (who was a high achiever of something like 85% avg) so I wanted to best her in what she did best (which is really toxic come to think of it). This has made me realise that my second year of study is the only year where I actively meditated every morning when I woke up at 5am every day to do so. Referring to what was said at 17:15 I now understand that my lack of focus and the difficulties I came across for my final year was because of the healthiest habit I stopped doing.
ahhh yes, I had a similar thing happen to me (like your ex-gf) I had a male friend who would treat me like absolute garbage and gaslight me as if I was responsible for how he behaved, so when I finally like stopped talking to him I had this huge urge to be better than him in studies. It was quite toxic mindset (kinda like hustle culture) but still ended up benefiting me with motivation. It's not a good practice, but it works to a small extent.
On the topic of luck, there is the idea "I make my own luck."
The premise is that if you are looking for something that is based on chance, then putting yourself in situations where the chance of what you want to have happen is more likely, and preparing to be able to recognize and capitalize on a chance when it comes; that's what it means to make your own luck. It's still based on chance, but you could go from 5% likely to have a positive outcome to a 60% chance of positive and a 5% chance of extraordinary
i actually did this, not for studying, but for going to the gym. I have some kind of social anxiety about going outside in general, i figured out that its always early mornings where my brain was completely quiet **as long as you're not sleep deprived** and i was able to get myself outside without having a recurring voice in my head saying "no you can't its better to stay in" or "what if this" or "what if that" constantly making me doubt myself. It's a good time to build discipline because your brain doesn't resist you that much (if not sleep deprived), and if you manage to build on top of that, theoretically, you're pretty much set.
*I say as long as you're not sleep deprived cause when you dont get enough sleep and you wake up that early, you're kind of still in a weird half delirious dream state where your mind is telling you that cereal is technically a soup

You're an inspiration and this video is exactly what I've been searching for.
I've been batting around the idea of med school for psych rather than a PhD and it's videos like this that really help me to move forward in the MD direction
DUDE I don't know if I'm seeing your videos in the middle of an exposure explosion or not. But your content is phenomenal and the delivery is very well directed to the target audience. You are making huge changes in lots of peoples lives with this content, keep it up.
I study 0 hours in med school. Im surprised i havent been kicked out yet. My grades are shit. I have anxiety and i want to die. Im not looking forward to post grad internship
You should join the healthy gamer discord and have a conversation, all that anxiety can’t be healthy at all.
it's been 9 months, how are you doing now?
Year later, Hope your doin well
I haven’t started practice most of the things that you have talked about yet, but just watching these videos make me feel inspired enough to keep going. Thanks mate
solely bc of your authenticity and the non-pushy way you present your point im going to get into meditation, youre a man to look up to, thanks Dr. K!
Growing up and to this day I'm referred to as the "smart one" in the family. I've always countered that I'm not smarter, rather I just "get it" the first time around which gives me a slight advantage. 1-2% which makes a difference in the long run and compounds. I've also, since I can remember, practiced pseudo-meditation (not sure what else to call it) by listening to hours of classical music - probably connected to the belief that classical music makes you smarter and stuff - and movie/game music scores, along with actual meditations, to practice "zenning out". This is first time I've heard anyone suggest a link between the two and it's something that I'd never considered. Can't wait to test this in my next meditation 😁. Great vid doc and thanks for the life changing lesson 🙏
Thanks for your videos, I wrote down much of your ideas and Im going to put those ideas in practice. Also your community is very polite and mature.
This reminds of a time when I got sick and had to stop attending school for about 2-3 weeks, I had not been absent from school in the middle of a semester for that many days in a row before, so I REALLY panicked that I'd be super lost once I do go back, especially math since it was particularly hard for me, so I decided to set down and study what I might have missed.
Once I did start attending guess what? Turns out I studied the material up to over a month ahead LOOOL! I seriously didn't expect that, never noticed how slow we tended to go through the textbook. So like you said the class became review, in fact I got to be more prepared in asking about the things that I didn't understand, when normally I get so overwhelmed that I don't even know what questions to ask during class.
That has to be the most helpful self improvement related channel on TH-cam. This man speaks facts in every single video 🗣🔥
I was a fourth year medic in the UK and hadn't spent a single day revising, eventually that caught up with me and I got kicked out. Looking back this was a good thing, medicine was never something I wanted to do and more something that other people expected me to do. I am much happier now applying my abilities to something I'm passionate about.

What is your best study tip? (Also Destiny and Reckful at 3:00 PM PST today, stream link in description)
adderall
It's way easier to work on something you're invested in, if you get an assignment that bores you see if your professor will let you submit a different assignment that covers the material but is way more interesting to you.
Repeating notes I write outloud to myself is my best tip, that really helped me consolidate stuff into my memory.
Pretend your surroundings are fake and imagine the only thing in the world is you, the textbook and your notes.
@@Khora this is it cheif, study time becomes so much more immersive and effective when you let go of your phone
someone get this guy to make a ted talk
I studied only for exams and like 5-6 days before them too. Played videos games/went out the rest of the time. Now I have a successful business venture and couldn't be happier. What I learned from all this is - It's not about the amount of time/effort you put into studying, it's about the quality of information you retain for years after that. I can honestly say 80-90% of the things I studied in college, university and both of my master degrees have no real world applications, the remaining 10% however, have served me well.
I love you. You changed my life. God bless your soul.
16:29 Gollem (the madlad himself) :" How do you change apperance after character creation?
You just talked about so many concepts in psychology while explaining it like a “gamer”. I like that.
Another tip : Aim high when preparing for an exam. Don’t tell yourself : I’m gonna try to get 75%.
You will most likely fall below the goal that you have set out for yourself.
A study found that 2 people with the same capabilities, that set different goals :
Person #1 set a goal to 75%
Person #2 set a goal to 90%
The person with the more difficult goal (90%) will have a significantly better score at the same exam.
Obviously you have to have some confidence and you have to be willing to push yourself but all in all = aim higher!
One thing to add is to have a calm state when doing your test, if you can replicate the conditions you had when you studied (well rested, calm), you'll have a greater chance in recall and concentration. That's why you blank during a test, because your are anxious and in a different mind state. Calm down take a few breaths and it'll surely reap benefits.
Aim high expect the worst. :P
your last tip is literally the only thing Elon Musk ever does. “Oh yeah we are totally accomplishing this in 6 months”, while everyone thinks it will take a year. In the end it takes 9 months so the self set goal wasn’t reached, but it was still quicker than what most people expected.
So glad I found you from reckfuls stream
Holy shit. Thanks master. I was ignoring TH-cam's recommendations to watch you for quite a while because I have removed myself from gaming a while ago, but I don't regret watching this. I rarely subscribe after watching one video, but there it is.
well ive tried waking up tp study early in the morning before school and i would study from 4.30am till 6.45am. It really helped me remember things better and i went from failing papers to scoring almost straight A's in all my exams. I will start trying out meditation and yoga nidra next time.
This was really an eye-opener. Thank you!
I watched your interview with LilyPichu, and you mentioned something about how falling asleep was easier when waking up, since your mind is clear when you wake up. Interesting to see that same concept applied to comprehending information.
Dude you are simply, very great. No mucking about, just clear and to the point. Taking away the make believe and fantasy and giving real direction. Very well done and thank you Healthy Gamer

“You have to be focus”
My ADHD: focus lulw
Bro the imagery of fighting back the negative thoughts.... it's literally been 22 years of that. Holy fuck. Calm the mind. Plant the inspiration. Then I won't hate myself as much. Less internal violence. wow. im crying
I totally get the idea of planting a way in your head instead of pushing down the thoughts with will power. I have done that myself in a few practices where I sit and ask myself questions and just let myself be instead of forcing myself to do something (since at times I just get back to overthinking due to the past patterns) I sit down without forcing it and then my mind calms down and then I can actually do that thing and there so more understanding instead of resistance, now idk if i should call the later iterations of it discipline or not but understanding something does make it effortless and then you just have to make a choice, you only got to choose an action instead of making up an excuse which our brain tries to lure us into for instant gratification.
1. Pausing and slowing down helps
2. Allowing yourself to question the why behind the resistance helps
I think in my opinion I was taught that efforts are admirable and you have force yourself and so whenever i did things the other way around and found that to be effortless after the adding this one more step to it, I felt like I wasn't hard working since it all happened from the inside now, this must be the next thing for me to accept and see what's next here.
I think the idea of replacing the constant will power against resistance practice to planting something to replace it, to understand the real resistance deep within is the real mastery. Then you can actually willingly put in efforts because you know the reason behind your patterns.
I'd to recommend for my exp vipassana, is a really deep meditation technique that can help you achive incredible concentration levels, but that actually would be a tiny feature compared to its main goal. There is a bunch of official centers around the world that I'd recommend to visit instead of trying to learn it by yourself. Peace!
I learned it in a brutally hard way that READING information does not correlate to UNDERSTANDING it. I failed a few of the most important national level exams and a while after that setback I realised an incredibly important thing which is that I actually went by READING information like a zombie but did not take the time to UNDERSTAND concepts. Realising this difference is the most important lesson I learned and its one of the important distinctions I was able to identify. Now I am doing better just because I started thinking through things instead of shallowly going about them.

I'd like to try what you're suggesting, I just don't know how to find it initially.
Thank you for sharing this, been dealing with cognitive dissonance and subconscious bias' for a while now and only recently started to hit my stride in life both creatively and emotionally. The source code analogy in particular resonated with me, as I have been trying to "de frag" my mind and output more stuff that bubbles up naturally/intrinsically. The toughest part of all this was to have the ability to reflect and truly do everything I could individually to be happier and progress before looking at any external factors. I love the incorporation of gaming, philosophical application of mindset, and lifestyle all together. Inspires me to say the least :)
never realized actual foundational change is dependent on quieting the mind and then implementing change. its hardly productive to try and implement change when your mind is busy and everywhere at once

This video was very enlightening. I think I have unintentionally given myself a sunkalpa over the last couple of years in the form of "No one is perfect. We're all fallible human beings. It's okay to mess up from time to time."
