I think that you can’t control what you think totally. But you can control how you go about these thoughts. I feel positive but I still feel negative sometimes. It’s necessary not to fuse with such thoughts. Detach from them and make space. There is a great book on that: the Confidence Gap.
Absolutely! Actually, something interesting... In order to control your mind you must, as Dr. Jordan Peterson says, clean your room. Because you are not above the ness in your room, and the mess in your room is a projection of your thoughts and your mental state... So, go clean your room.
Hey Hamza! I’m a 13 boy who has been watching your videos and I just finished my first workout thanks to you. My routine consists of: Two sets of 10 push-ups Two sets of 15 sit ups Two sets of 10 Burpee‘s Two sets of 25 mountain climbers Two sets of 20 seconds of planks Thank you so much man and keep up the great work. Adonis for life! Edit: Thank you guys so much for the support it really helps motivate me to keep going. Also I do Cross Country and Track and love to run already. Sadly I broke my leg half way through the season and when I got better I stopped running ruining all the progress I had made.
Hard times create strong men. You're not going to be always motivated. That's where discipline comes to play. Do hard things, and remember: the days you don't want to do something, those count the most! Keep grinding king, we're all gonna make it. - The Self-Improvement Academy -
@@Daznaz I've been taking cold showers for nearly 3 years now. Amazing what it does to you, physically and mentally! Did you know that, thanks to the cold, the endorphines your body release might have an anti-depressant effect?
Im 14 and ive been on my self-improvement journey since January 2022 i’ve learned and have experienced so much in the past year. My ability to understand things has improved a lot. I used to be unaware of the bad habits and life in general that were detrimental to my health but im so glad hamza helped me become aware of my problems. Hamza honestly changed my life and i hope to meet him one day.
@@japonvscostaricadirecto Actually, I'm more disciplined than ever, I've beenin gym for 1 month, 4 days a week, I don't feel that motivation sensation anymore as i'm continuing to progress.
@@japonvscostaricadirecto Just wanted to remind you that Jesus Christ loves you so much. Repent your sins and turn your life to Him. Have a great day Bro. ☦️🕊️❤️✝️
Pro Tip:The moment you feel a drive, just keep it going don't leave the flow state no matter what, > you sleep→you wake up→ you exercise immediately→get back into the flow state→reach the end of the day→sleep >Repeat. This next part is those who still find it hard and find themselves in these videos repeatedly. The real challenge starts after you realise your time ticking but still don't take action, You must stop thinking about the final product, you must embrace what makes you that, Your ideal self is not you, he is from a different period of your life or depending on your actions from another timeline💀 A completely different person, you are not the same you as a 8 yr old, you probably don't even remember what it was like back then, and You won't 10 years from now Thats the thing about Life, You move on, the longer you live, the more you move on, relationships, good times, bad times, are left behind, replaced for new ones, what gives us happiness is moving up. "Run, you don't need to place first, there is no such thing, for there is no finish line, you keep running till your death" Life is not a race, its a chance to experience existence, always remember you are a chosen one among 10^2,685,000. Take responsibility. Work harder, especially when you think you've reached your limit.
bro literally this is the best video u made .. i knew u last year i was literally playing valorant 12 or less h per day i stopped sport i was total jeffery u helped me take my life back .. nw i go to gym 6 days per week im learnin code again ,, im learning vfx to start content creation and some buisiness ,, i have my up and down but im the best version of my self TY BROTHER !!
You helped me push through the uncomfortable and sign up for a martial arts gym and it was genuinely worse in my head than in reality. I beat myself up debating on whether or not to sign up and when I finally decided to do it BECAUSE I felt uncomfortable, I feel so good about myself now
Hey Hamza! I’m a 13 boy who has been watching your videos and I just finished my workout, which I started thanks to you. My routine consists of: Two sets of 25 push-ups Two sets of 60 seconds of planks Two sets of 50 squats and every second day two sets of 25 jumping jacks Thank ou for your help, you are amazing. Keep going with the great content
ive been getting up and running at 6 am , 22 dec i started and i have ran 87 km since then , and guys i feel brutal. super productive. ive brainwashed myself to suffer and afte a brutal run (for me) 5km to 10 km i have an ice cold shower and brother im feeling on another level. preach suffering boys! u will grow mentally and physically.
This make so much sense. Man I let my sugars go into the 30s over did it at work in the heat and had a Seizure. Destroying myself with pleasure and diabetes neglect. Why I am here because your stuff really make sense. Almost dying showed me how much time I don’t have left if I stay on this path of destruction. Hamza, we need more dudes like you in the world. Thank you
Respect bro🙏🏼 If you have type 2, you can reverse it with proper nutrition. Stay on the upward spiral of self improvement, you got this brother. I believe in you
This video came at a perfect time for me I've been in a extremely unproductive state the past few weeks and I was slowly coming to this realisation of what needs to be done but this video just really sped it up for me.
Same here with my uni assignments. The ratio of pleasure to pain has been in pleasure's favour despite of running, working out and swimming. It's good that the realisation hits now rather than later and it's time to get our shit together 💪🔥
Learn how to deal with the discomfort now which will benefit you later on down the line. Control what you think so it can determine your actions by doing the hard work especially when you don't feel like it. Your success will be sweet in the near future when you experience your painful struggles in the interim. Thank you Hamza for this video.
sup hamza, wanted to say u have changed my life, i am 13, you and tate saved my life from a jeffrey to an upcoming adonis, now i wake up at 6am, shower and meditate, work out every day (50 pushups+50 abs) and this will definitely help me in me and my dating life
I started gaming when I was like 10 years old. At 15 years old when I went to play with my friends it was just so boring and they always were like "Yeah Juusto come play with us we are having so much fun" So I went literally for 5 years like 6 hours a day gaming. Now I am 17 and game like once a week and its just so fun when you do it not often. This was my story from this topic.
Started wrestling. Painful and tiring as hell. Everyday after school for 2 hours and 15 minutes ish I practice at school. I’ll be honest I hated it when I started in late November. Now? I feel so much stronger. Such a boost to when I started working out. It is true, pain = pleasure, and nothing is more satisfying then when something so difficult is so easy that you can double the miles or the time or whatever. Stay strong
The reason Hamza often points out “Adonis” is because he is on the Path as well. He isn’t perfect. And that’s why we like him so much and resonate with him. Because we’re on this path together.
I think discipline isnt real.Without the motivation you cant even start being disciplined. People think discipline is like a mental trait but it aint its actually just habbits. I dont believe in discipline i think its just a fancy word for a person having good habits. And to develop that habits you need to start with a certain behaviour and stick to it long enough for the neurons to wire and make that behaviour very energy effecient after it intialy gets linked to the dopamine pathways. But you need to start. I have known about these pleasure pain dopamine pathways for a long time i have studied neuroscience but i still couldnt apply that knowledge and i was still procrastinating and endulging in pleasure maybe its because of the ADHD i dont know for sure but its not becuase i dont have the Discipline Trait i think no such thing exist.I have been called undisciplined for many things but one thing i have never missed is a workout but thats only because i have been going to the gym for 8 years and its harder not to do it.And i only did that because i was motivated to do so at the beggining and its become a habit. You need to have motivation it is IMPOSSIBLE to begin being disciplined for some new behavior you are trying to implement in your life in a state of apathy !!! You gotta start the engine.
I am beyond blessed that I found your channel Hamza. You have changed my life in 2 days. I promise you when I say this, for these 2 days watching your videos I have learened more about life than I have in highs school for 3 years. I can't remember anything that I truly have with me from highs school, that genuinely is having an positive impact on my life. One thing that I learned from your addiction video that you recently upploaded was this: The reason most people have a hard time to stop an addiction is because they are trying to solve the sypthom and not the problem. For instance fapping, most people try to stop fapping which in theory is impossible if you have an addiction. But if you can find the route of the problem for the sypthom which in this case is your state of mind then you can solve the sypthom which is fapping. You have made me think more perspicacious and deeply into different areas of life and I am so thankful for that!
Thank you so much for everything Hamza, I’m not going to write down every single reason why I’m thanking you, because that would be simply too much, and I don’t want to waste my time on writing. Instead I can just carry on with improving. Again thank you very much.
It is generally true that focusing more on hard work than on pleasure can bring feelings of motivation and positivity, while focusing more on pleasure than on hard work can lead to feelings of boredom, lack of purpose, and eventually depression. It is important to find a healthy balance between work and leisure, as both are important for overall well-being and satisfaction.
There are instant pleasurable activities, beninficial instant pain acitivities; However, there are also instant meditative activities and instant peace activites which are a different class. These are some of the best activities. For example, meditating in the sunlight or sitting at the table drinking green tea peacefully chilling with your parents: these aren't painful like intense excersise and aren't strongly pleasurable like junk food. These are peaceful and meditative, and make your life better. but to get to meditativeness/peace you must not be over-engaging in cheap sense-pleasure activities like junk food and also be having enough of the difficult but necessary work in your life to earn more peace. a genuinely peaceful and meditative mind is earned. Another point: the happiness and peace you get after a cold shower is far different to (and far better than) the cheap sensual pleasure that you get from junk food or p or certain video games. As is said in buddhism, there is a big difference between cheap sensual pleasures vs actual peace and actual hapiness. You must remember this difference.
Self-Discipline begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don’t control what you think, you can’t control what you do. It's how Hamza helped me start THIS successful youtube channel, and I'm motivated to show up every week to record.
I am a 14 year old teenager and my plans for my future are actually to go to university to get a master's degree in cyber security. Your channel is amazing bro, just subbed, keep up the hard work imma check out the rest of the channel.
I'm 15 years old, and I can honestly say that over the last two weeks, since I was lucky enough to get suggested one of your videos, my life has changed significantly. I found the video to be intriguing, so I decided to click on it. After I quit, my mental health literally improved miles away, and I now felt more like a man. My life has been fixed by you and Hamza. Thank you bro
Thank you so much i appreciate your work my bro im currently 16 and lockdown fucked me up for the past 3 years ive had severe social anxiety but just by implementing these small little actions by you and hamza in my life its made such a drastic change and much more manageable. self improvement is deffo needed in this day and age 👊
the discomfort thing is so true. When I went to Greece, which has cold waters, in a region that had particularly cold waters, it was so good going 5 meters deep in the sea, feeling the cold getting into the bones and coming up to the 30 deg sun
I was surprised when I watched this video because that was mentioned in Quran 1400 years ago in this verse ((So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief)) Man this is not a normal book it's a miracle from God.
It all comes down to self discipline. Almost every addiction starts in the mind. Once you get a hold of what you want to think and how you want to think you can conquer any goal you set your eyes on. It's not always easy but if you stay persistent and see the bigger picture it becomes a piece of cake. Rinse and Repeat and you'll be a champ not a simp!
Having self-discipline involves mastering your thoughts and having the ability to take control of them. Without it, you cannot effectively control what you do because your thoughts will be driving the decisions you make in life. It is essential to take a proactive approach when it comes to regulating and managing your thought processes. When one's thoughts are left unchecked, they can lead to destructive behavior, poor decision-making, and even emotional distress. The key is to identify the thoughts that are leading you astray and then take steps to override them. Through a combination of self-reflection, mindfulness practice, and effective goal setting, you can gain a better understanding of yourself and your motivations. This will help you develop the skills to better control your thoughts and make more informed, thoughtful decisions. Self-discipline also requires a commitment to taking action. Now that you have taken a proactive approach to regulate your thoughts, it is important to stick with it and take consistent action towards achieving your goals. Doing so will help ensure that you make better decisions in the future and stay on track to your long-term objectives. Finally, it is important to be patient with yourself as you develop self-discipline. It can take time to master these skills and may require some trial and error before you find success. However, with consistent practice and dedication, you will eventually become more disciplined and find yourself living a more balanced, successful life.
I think that and a comfortable life is a recipe for a state of apathy. Which to me is worse that depression.I know a lot of people would disagree with me on that but atleast with the negative emotions that come with depression they can act like a springboard to initiate behaviors that can change that, so the depression itself can become motivating to get out of. Apathy on the other hand is much worse the body just decides if i dont have positive emotions i wont have negative either and you become a biological machine stuck in the chains of your past habbits.
This is exactly why you go to school or university in the morning. You experience the discomfort and mental pain of school first and then the rest of the day feels better. Also one of the reasons why you can go to the gym in the morning since the gym is painful if you’re actually going for progress.
@animekple But you are consistent in the gym because you developed it into a habit . its the same for me , its harder not to go than to skip the workout. But we only started going to the gym because we were motivated to do so. Dont disregard motivation as useless if you werent motivated in the first place you would have never developed the habit. Motivation is what starts every positive change in anybody and discipline is just fancy word for good habtis that were initiated by motivation.
Hamza, in your videos you talk about how getting on self improvement increases your smv and likelihood of attracting women, I'm on "self improvement" and do many of the good habits such as going to the gym(and I am very disciplined), reading, eating well etc. Some of my closest friends don't do many or any of these and they have girlfriends, but all of my close friends that I know that do the good habits such as go to the gym with me, none of them have girlfriends. I understand this isn't an exact science and the other implications of the situation, I just wanted your take, as I feel like there might not be as much correlation as I used to.
I actually have the same problem right now, it has been a while that I started my self improvement journey and that I am doing good habits, I am now attractive but I still struggle having a girlfriend but I am realizing that I think it is because I have not quiet a good game, I have not that much experience. But I think we should practice and go talk to girls especially if we get eyes contacts we should try to engage. We should also adopt the right mindset, I’ve been like the cold sigma male but now that I am smiling more and just relaxed and chill I get more eyes contacts and it feel like I have better connections with girls. Hope it helped you, we’re gonna make it king 💪 Hope it helped you
@@nakraa4458 I definitely agree with you that game is one of my weak points, I feel the same that I get a lot of looks, but I don't approach because I haven't mastered the skill of going up to and talking to girls, I will see a girl but I never know what to do so I just don't do anything. The majority of my friends girlfriends they met online so didn't meet in-person, which I think is the norm nowadays, but that's besides the point. Thanks for the reply💪 hope it goes well for you too brother
I've had a similar situation. I've become quite attractive and knew some of the girls in my school were interested but I've never done anything further to get to know them. You won't attract women if you don't become a part of their life. Women can literally forget you within seconds if you don't take up their minds hahah. You kinda need to go out, talk to them and then attract with your discipline, physique, your game etc. Become the person a valuable woman would look for in her life. Worked for me, even though I had to wait a loooong time, and I hope it will work for you as well king 👑
dude I've watched almost all of hamza's videos. Not even exaggerating, this is legit his best video in my opinion. It's amazing and honestly a cure to depression, if this video is watched by the right person it will change their life. Hamza this video is so much more valuable than you may think.
Probably one of the best videos you’ve made so far. You’ve really explained the dopamine genuinely. I’d suggest for those who want to know more about dopamine and the Pain-Pleasure balance to read “Dopamine Nation“ book by Anna Lembke. It’s an interesting book that will explain a lot . Keep it up man!
I heard someone say this once. Motivation will always follow action. Getting started is the hardest part. Once first domino falls, everything else will fall into place.
I really like this video. It shows that what I'm doing is good. The "Pain" for me as you said 1 gym and 2 mental state. I go to a therapist and she challenged me on many hard questions. I was in deep mental pain. Days went by when I went back to deep depression but as you said after that shitty feeling my "Motivation" went higher. Lately I have been more happy and confident. So what you said it felt as a perfect description of my feelings. Love from a Polish men!
Hamza I know you won’t see this but thank you, I used to be an extremely feminine man and you have turned my life around now I’m going outside, lifting weights, becoming a man. I just need to thank you 🙏
Good luck to all you kings out there. You got this and it will get better. I’m proud of you for trying. Now keep giving it your all and go chase exactly what you want.🖤💪🏽
My classmates laught about me for watching hamza. Today I was with a group of friends my tablet was open beacause were working on a project. One of my friends had the idea to look what videos I watched the last days. He saw hamzas channel and started reading the video titles very loud. My friends began to laugh and when he rode "5 crucial steps to go from skinny to jacked" and "4 tips to get out of the friendzone" they started laughing harder and making fun of me the girls next to us started laughing too and one said it does not surprise her that I watched this type of videos. I felt that I beacame nervous beacause everyone was laughing at me. (Also thanks to Hamza) I controlled my emotions and hide that I was nervous and changed the topic quickly. I know one year ago I would have get extremely nervous and they would have made even more fun of me. In this area I got a little better. I thought about this situation all day. I keep asking myself am I wrong and they are right or is it the other way around? Am I insecure for watching this type of videos? I decided to keep going also because I will be 17teen soon. But I am not sure how to felt about this. I would like to know if someone had similar experiences.
something ive recently started doing to challenge myself is stretch every morning for 30 min +. Its actually extremely challenging and painful because people usually wake up tight or stiff sleeping in one position the whole night. You'll really feel the burn and mental challenge of waking up first thing in the morning and stretching.
Yes you can do that but its shown to have more benefit to stretch before bed. You can do both its great for injury prevention but i dont find it challenging at all. Its relaxing i do it post training.
@@Reypstraptor4269 Yeah i think its better to do static stretching after exercise because your muscles are warmed up and not stiff whereas if you static stretch first thing in the morning, your muscles are very cold and stiff hence why it is so painful. Dynamic stretching before exercise and static after is the way to go I think.
i just want to say thank u hamza. I used to be a depressed loser but then i saw a clip of u playing above a minecraft parkour and felt motivated to get back on track. Now i barely have time in my life to watch ur vids. i still do when i’m working out or like rn while i’m waiting on my dead airpods to recharge. My life is genuinely better. And i feel better, and more masculine because of you. I respect and thank you.
Video summary: Feeling down? Feeling depressed? The answer is simple: do something hard, do something uncomfortable, and go through voluntary pain. This will push up your dopamine and eventually raise your baseline. Long term gratification is better than instant gratification
As a huge fan of Huberman. I really appreciate your distillation of his lessons supplemented with your own interpretations and experiences. As a result I find myself sharing your videos with my friends instead of random timestamps in his 2hr podcasts. Thank you Hamza!
Watch your videos every morning man they motivate the he'll out of me. Dropped the video games, dropped the fap, got back in the gym. Taking back control of my life
It's nice to see a redpill TH-camr talk about motivation. I'm really tired of these sigma grindset "discipline, pain, suffer, push forward" Posts. Sure, having discipline is great. There are often days where I wake up and don't feel motivated AT ALL to go to the gym, and I have to push myself with discipline, but once I'm actually at the gym, it's all motivation. Its like that old saying: "I never want to get in the shower, but when I'm IN the shower, I don't want to get out again." I think we all need to strike a balance, who cares if you watch a short motivational speech before starting a deep work session, you'll do a better job than the guy who hates it and rushes through. There is no reason you can't be disciplined AND motivated gents.
My weakness. People. Talking to new people. People have told me I am likable and easy to talk too. But still talking to new people for me feels like torture. Just being around other people, especially those I have not spoken with before.
Same for me. Honesly i think its simple. The problem lies in the self image. Its the egoic mind trying to have a sense of identity and its just one of the things it believes. its developed at a young age. Its a lot of biochemistry that goes with it thats not of your control, different neuromoduletors at place when talking to new people.What you feel is just brain chemistry dont let it get atached to who you think you are.The brain is neuroplastic so that can be changed . maybe go out and start talking to new people and at first if you suck than maybe later you suck a little less and that can be linked with the dopamine pathway so you would want to do it more and soon you might see yourself as someone who is okay at talking to new people and you will experience it differently, less anxiety. How i fixed my anxiety is with something called paradoxical intentions.
Man, I solved a coding question on leetcode now which I could not a year ago. It feels great to know that you have learned a lot and problem solving skills have gotten better now.
Pain pleasure thing is real. I give you an example, i was on vacay last year in spain and could barely sleep there. I knew however what may work - I spent whole day outside walking. A lot of walking. No electronics,no music that day, no phone whatsoever AT ALL. I was in pain after 60k steps and passed out in hotels bedroom. I swear i woke up feeling so energetic and refreshed as if I could walk again whole day. I was not sore AT ALL. how is it possible? our bodies are amazing we just need to know how to treat it
@@jonasthenoob4535 yeah it s not even my best result lol I did once probably 80-90k steps in my country between 6 AM - 22 PM - again had sleeping issues. I m estimating 80-90k because i was not having phone at all thay day - left it in my flat. I was amazed how much the body can go even with a big sleep deficit. Liftin weights is great but we as humans are designed to walk
I agree with this man . I am an albanian boy and i live in small and cold city where you need to warm your house with wood . When the room is very cold i have to get wood outside . Do not misunderstand me , i do not go to the forest , we keep the wood in our garden . When i go out i feel the pain of the cold then i feel the pain of keeping the wood on my hands . Then i have to put the wood in the correct place and light up the fire . After that pain i feel gret
This video kinda opened my eyes, it's been happening, whenever i'm doing shit i don't like i feel better just in general, whenever i start skipping some stuff that i don't want to do etc i feel worse in the long run, ty hamza appreciate you bro
Cold showers aren't as bad as people think. I've been taking cold showers for 5 years straight, even through winters and it feels amazing (apart from the brain freezes). But one interesting thing I've found is that the world is getting colder, the first few years it was cold, nothing more, 3rd and 4th year, I get brain freezes everytime during winters but this year, even my hands are frozen during it.
@Eoghan the cold water from my house comes directly from big river near us, it freezes my brain and my hands this year. Taking cold showers is great, but Be careful if u have a heart or any breathing difficulties
This is probably the most practical video from Hamza in recent months. If ppl just focused on this concept of “pain leads to pleasure” and ignored everything else, this whole generation would be saved
I absolutely love your videos!!! They are so informative, inspiring and at the same time hilarious! I find myself literally laughing out loud and learning life changing advice at the same time. Beautiful combination! Thanks so much for all the time and energy you put into your videos. People of all ages can definitely benefit from these amazing videos you do. 🙌🏼Thanks again!
I have made it a habit to go into 3 situations every day that make me uncomfortable. The good thing is, if you do it for a while, you look for situations in everyday life that make you feel uncomfortable, you want that situation! You even want situations that make you more and more afraid. I can recommend it to you, as a strongly introverted man, I was able to make big leaps with it and get out of my comfort zone faster. Of course you don't always have exactly three situations, sometimes there are more and sometimes fewer. That's not so bad I think. But the best thing is that you notice immediately when you encounter such a situation and then the motivation comes to your head immediately, you think yes, now there is a chance.
This was a really good video Hamza, the couple of last ones felt a bit empty to be completely honest, but this one I feel is much more purposeful and constructive, thank you for the work you and the whole team puts to bring us the best content possible.
Hamza (and other readers) Take a cold shower and be calm, don't move, dont rush your breaths and try to stay relaxed. You probably will do fast inhales but do slow exhales, don't think of something else or sing a song, but Focus on counting your breaths. After you do 60 breaths or more go out of the shower and I PROMISE you, that you will insane. It's like experiancing pain and you'll meditate at the same time. I personally did It and I felt better than ever. Hamza I hope you read this, you said that you were singing rap, but if you Focus on staying calm, counting breaths and being at the moment IT will feel a lot better. You can close your eyes while doing this. Do the hard work, esspecualy if you don't feel like IT.
Honestly your best advice for being productive and getting shit done has always been writing out a schedule/time table for the next day I could be in a rut of getting nothing done for 2 whole weeks and I get completely back on track by just making a schedule for the next day
I took the cold shower. I slowly went further under and was fully under for 10 seconds. It was so uncomfortable and painful and my breathing went really fast and I thought I was going to faint and was actually generally scared. Good experience lol. I'm going to do it everyday.
Thanks for this video Hamza, I was feeling unmotivated today and this video really helped me to pick up my weights, usually whenever I feel demotivated I come to your channel, and thats a sign that what you're putting out here really helps. Keep it bro, I really respect what you do.
It’s crazy how Hamza is psychologically correct. I just finished a psych course in college and he’s 100% correct. I can’t believe he has those bullshit haters, good work man 🙏🏾
M19. Hamza, I want to thank you for your videos. You saved my future. I broke up with my Jeffrey gf after 2 years thanks to your video about girls' red flags and feel alive again. Please, continue making your videos, you help a lot of men, thank you!
I did not thought about this, I´ve been recently on high depression from a pleasure season and I did not understanded why, this helped me a lot, thanks Hamza!!
Pain of discipline is always better then pain of regret.
@Warriors 100% accurate bro.
Powerful word right there
Self-Discipline begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don’t control what you think, you can’t control what you do.
I think that you can’t control what you think totally. But you can control how you go about these thoughts. I feel positive but I still feel negative sometimes. It’s necessary not to fuse with such thoughts. Detach from them and make space. There is a great book on that: the Confidence Gap.
Wrong. You are not your thoughts, you are just observing them
@@Isabella59229 u might not but its true
@@Isabella59229 good....not everything you gotta agree with its good you have your own opinions and stuff....its valuable in this new era
Absolutely! Actually, something interesting... In order to control your mind you must, as Dr. Jordan Peterson says, clean your room. Because you are not above the ness in your room, and the mess in your room is a projection of your thoughts and your mental state... So, go clean your room.
The more painful your struggles are, the more sweet your success will be.
In my mind i always knew this but also no really hamza is amazing
Great quote 💯
Well not really, all those people who studied 24/7 from birth to 18 still have kind of shitty lives
No matter the amount of struggle I do, I always end up with not worthwhile results due to Murphy's law associates with me😔
Do not let external forces demotivate your pursuit of success
Hey Hamza! I’m a 13 boy who has been watching your videos and I just finished my first workout thanks to you. My routine consists of:
Two sets of 10 push-ups
Two sets of 15 sit ups
Two sets of 10 Burpee‘s
Two sets of 25 mountain climbers
Two sets of 20 seconds of planks
Thank you so much man and keep up the great work. Adonis for life!
Edit: Thank you guys so much for the support it really helps motivate me to keep going. Also I do Cross Country and Track and love to run already. Sadly I broke my leg half way through the season and when I got better I stopped running ruining all the progress I had made.
Bro's first workout is as hard as my current workout at 14, good job bro
Well done g! Keep up with it and you will become a true man like Adonis.
W
well done! I cant do as much pushups so I work on those. I would add 2 wall sits for 30 seconds and if you want a 1-2 mile run.
good job!
‘Motivation gets you started, Discipline keeps you going’
Hard times create strong men. You're not going to be always motivated. That's where discipline comes to play.
Do hard things, and remember: the days you don't want to do something, those count the most!

Im 14 and ive been on my
self-improvement journey since January 2022 i’ve learned and have experienced so much in the past year. My ability to understand things has improved a lot. I used to be unaware of the bad habits and life in general that were detrimental to my health but im so glad hamza helped me become aware of my problems. Hamza honestly changed my life and i hope to meet him one day.
Same age, respect bro
Same Age
same age bro it's very inspiring to see this although I hope you know I'm gonna become some competition for you

I swear I can't believe someone actually motivated me to do something productive, I'm just grateful for you Hamza
Well, actually that's the instant gratification, so in fact you felt worse later. Doing something painful is what motivates you
@@japonvscostaricadirecto Actually, I'm more disciplined than ever, I've beenin gym for 1 month, 4 days a week, I don't feel that motivation sensation anymore as i'm continuing to progress.
Just wanted to remind you that Jesus Christ loves you so much. Repent your sins and turn your life to Him. Have a great day Bro. ☦️🕊️❤️✝️

Pro Tip:The moment you feel a drive, just keep it going don't leave the flow state no matter what,
> you sleep→you wake up→ you exercise immediately→get back into the flow state→reach the end of the day→sleep
>Repeat.
This next part is those who still find it hard and find themselves in these videos repeatedly.
The real challenge starts after you realise your time ticking but still don't take action, You must stop thinking about the final product, you must embrace what makes you that, Your ideal self is not you, he is from a different period of your life or depending on your actions from another timeline💀 A completely different person, you are not the same you as a 8 yr old, you probably don't even remember what it was like back then, and You won't 10 years from now
Thats the thing about Life, You move on, the longer you live, the more you move on, relationships, good times, bad times, are left behind, replaced for new ones, what gives us happiness is moving up.
"Run, you don't need to place first, there is no such thing, for there is no finish line, you keep running till your death" Life is not a race, its a chance to experience existence, always remember you are a chosen one among 10^2,685,000. Take responsibility. Work harder, especially when you think you've reached your limit.
Written perfectly. Truly poetic
bro literally this is the best video u made .. i knew u last year i was literally playing valorant 12 or less h per day i stopped sport i was total jeffery u helped me take my life back ..
nw i go to gym 6 days per week im learnin code again ,, im learning vfx to start content creation and some buisiness ,, i have my up and down but im the best version of my self TY BROTHER !!
You helped me push through the uncomfortable and sign up for a martial arts gym and it was genuinely worse in my head than in reality. I beat myself up debating on whether or not to sign up and when I finally decided to do it BECAUSE I felt uncomfortable, I feel so good about myself now
self discipline is the start of greatness.
Hey Hamza! I’m a 13 boy who has been watching your videos and I just finished my workout, which I started thanks to you. My routine consists of:
Two sets of 25 push-ups
Two sets of 60 seconds of planks
Two sets of 50 squats
and every second day two sets of 25 jumping jacks
Thank ou for your help, you are amazing. Keep going with the great content
The first 5 seconds cracked me the hell up.
Hamza, you're a genius.
The message is clear. Take action.
ive been getting up and running at 6 am , 22 dec i started and i have ran 87 km since then , and guys i feel brutal. super productive. ive brainwashed myself to suffer and afte a brutal run (for me) 5km to 10 km i have an ice cold shower and brother im feeling on another level. preach suffering boys! u will grow mentally and physically.
This video is genuinely life changing
This make so much sense. Man I let my sugars go into the 30s over did it at work in the heat and had a Seizure. Destroying myself with pleasure and diabetes neglect. Why I am here because your stuff really make sense. Almost dying showed me how much time I don’t have left if I stay on this path of destruction. Hamza, we need more dudes like you in the world. Thank you
Respect bro🙏🏼 If you have type 2, you can reverse it with proper nutrition. Stay on the upward spiral of self improvement, you got this brother. I believe in you
best hamza vid from the last months
This video came at a perfect time for me I've been in a extremely unproductive state the past few weeks and I was slowly coming to this realisation of what needs to be done but this video just really sped it up for me.
Same here with my uni assignments. The ratio of pleasure to pain has been in pleasure's favour despite of running, working out and swimming. It's good that the realisation hits now rather than later and it's time to get our shit together 💪🔥
this the most important video actually !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Learn how to deal with the discomfort now which will benefit you later on down the line. Control what you think so it can determine your actions by doing the hard work especially when you don't feel like it. Your success will be sweet in the near future when you experience your painful struggles in the interim. Thank you Hamza for this video.
Watched and took notes 02.17.23
sup hamza, wanted to say u have changed my life, i am 13, you and tate saved my life from a jeffrey to an upcoming adonis, now i wake up at 6am, shower and meditate, work out every day (50 pushups+50 abs) and this will definitely help me in me and my dating life
Thanks Hamza i’m going to the gym now because of you and taking cold showers thanks for helping.
I started gaming when I was like 10 years old. At 15 years old when I went to play with my friends it was just so boring and they always were like "Yeah Juusto come play with us we are having so much fun" So I went literally for 5 years like 6 hours a day gaming. Now I am 17 and game like once a week and its just so fun when you do it not often. This was my story from this topic.
congrats man
I’m hope I will reach you one day
Thank you so much hamza..Iam so grateful for having you❤
Started wrestling. Painful and tiring as hell. Everyday after school for 2 hours and 15 minutes ish I practice at school. I’ll be honest I hated it when I started in late November. Now? I feel so much stronger. Such a boost to when I started working out. It is true, pain = pleasure, and nothing is more satisfying then when something so difficult is so easy that you can double the miles or the time or whatever. Stay strong
Man you sound very humble and that's actually very helpful to listen to your advice
The reason Hamza often points out “Adonis” is because he is on the Path as well. He isn’t perfect. And that’s why we like him so much and resonate with him. Because we’re on this path together.
Thanks for the great video again. Keep up the great work!
Remember, motivation isn't real, DISCIPLINE is real. Keep grinding kings, you got this
cope
motivation is also goated because he hard thing you are already dicsiplined to do, it makes it so much fun
I think discipline isnt real.Without the motivation you cant even start being disciplined. People think discipline is like a mental trait but it aint its actually just habbits. I dont believe in discipline i think its just a fancy word for a person having good habits. And to develop that habits you need to start with a certain behaviour and stick to it long enough for the neurons to wire and make that behaviour very energy effecient after it intialy gets linked to the dopamine pathways. But you need to start. I have known about these pleasure pain dopamine pathways for a long time i have studied neuroscience but i still couldnt apply that knowledge and i was still procrastinating and endulging in pleasure maybe its because of the ADHD i dont know for sure but its not becuase i dont have the Discipline Trait i think no such thing exist.I have been called undisciplined for many things but one thing i have never missed is a workout but thats only because i have been going to the gym for 8 years and its harder not to do it.And i only did that because i was motivated to do so at the beggining and its become a habit. You need to have motivation it is IMPOSSIBLE to begin being disciplined for some new behavior you are trying to implement in your life in a state of apathy !!! You gotta start the engine.
motivation is what makes you disciplined
Who the hell would listen to u? Ur vids are All games plus i dont think u ever touched weights in your life not even calisthenics
I am beyond blessed that I found your channel Hamza. You have changed my life in 2 days. I promise you when I say this, for these 2 days watching your videos I have learened more about life than I have in highs school for 3 years. I can't remember anything that I truly have with me from highs school, that genuinely is having an positive impact on my life. One thing that I learned from your addiction video that you recently upploaded was this: The reason most people have a hard time to stop an addiction is because they are trying to solve the sypthom and not the problem. For instance fapping, most people try to stop fapping which in theory is impossible if you have an addiction. But if you can find the route of the problem for the sypthom which in this case is your state of mind then you can solve the sypthom which is fapping. You have made me think more perspicacious and deeply into different areas of life and I am so thankful for that!
Only a few minutes in and I can tell this video is incredibly valuable. Respect
OG hamza back at it with the fire vid, 2m subs coming soon🎉
Thank you so much for everything Hamza, I’m not going to write down every single reason why I’m thanking you, because that would be simply too much, and I don’t want to waste my time on writing. Instead I can just carry on with improving. Again thank you very much.
Brother, write that shit down. Gratitude journalling is great for mental health. Just do it for me
And me
Discipline gets u in the gym consistency keeps u going
Hamza i want to thank you for opening my eyes for all of my life ive been like jefrey, but you helped me open my eyes to the media and sociaty today
Certainly one of the greatest video you've made, thus among the best on TH-cam.
It is generally true that focusing more on hard work than on pleasure can bring feelings of motivation and positivity, while focusing more on pleasure than on hard work can lead to feelings of boredom, lack of purpose, and eventually depression. It is important to find a healthy balance between work and leisure, as both are important for overall well-being and satisfaction.
There are instant pleasurable activities, beninficial instant pain acitivities; However, there are also instant meditative activities and instant peace activites which are a different class. These are some of the best activities. For example, meditating in the sunlight or sitting at the table drinking green tea peacefully chilling with your parents: these aren't painful like intense excersise and aren't strongly pleasurable like junk food. These are peaceful and meditative, and make your life better. but to get to meditativeness/peace you must not be over-engaging in cheap sense-pleasure activities like junk food and also be having enough of the difficult but necessary work in your life to earn more peace. a genuinely peaceful and meditative mind is earned.
Another point: the happiness and peace you get after a cold shower is far different to (and far better than) the cheap sensual pleasure that you get from junk food or p or certain video games.
As is said in buddhism, there is a big difference between cheap sensual pleasures vs actual peace and actual hapiness. You must remember this difference.
Self-Discipline begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don’t control what you think, you can’t control what you do.
It's how Hamza helped me start THIS successful youtube channel, and I'm motivated to show up every week to record.
I am a 14 year old teenager and my plans for my future are actually to go to university to get a master's degree in cyber security.
Your channel is amazing bro, just subbed, keep up the hard work imma check out the rest of the channel.
I'm 15 years old, and I can honestly say that over the last two weeks, since I was lucky enough to get suggested one of your videos, my life has changed significantly. I found the video to be intriguing, so I decided to click on it. After I quit, my mental health literally improved miles away, and I now felt more like a man.
My life has been fixed by you and Hamza. Thank you bro
@@baneetofficial bro i wanted to get cber security too, where do you live?
Thank you so much i appreciate your work my bro im currently 16 and lockdown fucked me up for the past 3 years ive had severe social anxiety but just by implementing these small little actions by you and hamza in my life its made such a drastic change and much more manageable. self improvement is deffo needed in this day and age 👊
@@baneetofficial broo you have his videos, are you a fan account of him?
the animations in this vid are incredible.
props to the editor
the discomfort thing is so true. When I went to Greece, which has cold waters, in a region that had particularly cold waters, it was so good going 5 meters deep in the sea, feeling the cold getting into the bones and coming up to the 30 deg sun
I was surprised when I watched this video because that was mentioned in Quran 1400 years ago in this verse
((So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief)) Man this is not a normal book it's a miracle from God.
Listening to Hamza talk about motivation and discipline while doing pushups just helped me reach failure and I can confirm that I feel awesome!
You are a wise man dude. I wish i had a big brother like you.
It all comes down to self discipline. Almost every addiction starts in the mind. Once you get a hold of what you want to think and how you want to think you can conquer any goal you set your eyes on. It's not always easy but if you stay persistent and see the bigger picture it becomes a piece of cake. Rinse and Repeat and you'll be a champ not a simp!
right on!
I swear finding the momentum to just start was the hardest for me. Staying focused becomes secondary
Having self-discipline involves mastering your thoughts and having the ability to take control of them. Without it, you cannot effectively control what you do because your thoughts will be driving the decisions you make in life. It is essential to take a proactive approach when it comes to regulating and managing your thought processes. When one's thoughts are left unchecked, they can lead to destructive behavior, poor decision-making, and even emotional distress.
The key is to identify the thoughts that are leading you astray and then take steps to override them. Through a combination of self-reflection, mindfulness practice, and effective goal setting, you can gain a better understanding of yourself and your motivations. This will help you develop the skills to better control your thoughts and make more informed, thoughtful decisions.
Self-discipline also requires a commitment to taking action. Now that you have taken a proactive approach to regulate your thoughts, it is important to stick with it and take consistent action towards achieving your goals. Doing so will help ensure that you make better decisions in the future and stay on track to your long-term objectives.
Finally, it is important to be patient with yourself as you develop self-discipline. It can take time to master these skills and may require some trial and error before you find success. However, with consistent practice and dedication, you will eventually become more disciplined and find yourself living a more balanced, successful life.
Lack of motivation and purpose is the cause of depression. This statement is so true.
Yes!
I think that and a comfortable life is a recipe for a state of apathy. Which to me is worse that depression.I know a lot of people would disagree with me on that but atleast with the negative emotions that come with depression they can act like a springboard to initiate behaviors that can change that, so the depression itself can become motivating to get out of. Apathy on the other hand is much worse the body just decides if i dont have positive emotions i wont have negative either and you become a biological machine stuck in the chains of your past habbits.
This is exactly why you go to school or university in the morning. You experience the discomfort and mental pain of school first and then the rest of the day feels better. Also one of the reasons why you can go to the gym in the morning since the gym is painful if you’re actually going for progress.
Hamza changed my life. How can anyone hate this man?
Western Feminists hate everyone that does not identify as a woman
the only thing that makes me feel bad is discipline and lack of motivation at least you made this video, very helpful
@animekple But you are consistent in the gym because you developed it into a habit . its the same for me , its harder not to go than to skip the workout. But we only started going to the gym because we were motivated to do so. Dont disregard motivation as useless if you werent motivated in the first place you would have never developed the habit. Motivation is what starts every positive change in anybody and discipline is just fancy word for good habtis that were initiated by motivation.
Literally love this kind of CONTENT from few days .... W
Hamza, in your videos you talk about how getting on self improvement increases your smv and likelihood of attracting women, I'm on "self improvement" and do many of the good habits such as going to the gym(and I am very disciplined), reading, eating well etc. Some of my closest friends don't do many or any of these and they have girlfriends, but all of my close friends that I know that do the good habits such as go to the gym with me, none of them have girlfriends. I understand this isn't an exact science and the other implications of the situation, I just wanted your take, as I feel like there might not be as much correlation as I used to.
I actually have the same problem right now, it has been a while that I started my self improvement journey and that I am doing good habits, I am now attractive but I still struggle having a girlfriend but I am realizing that I think it is because I have not quiet a good game, I have not that much experience.
But I think we should practice and go talk to girls especially if we get eyes contacts we should try to engage.
We should also adopt the right mindset, I’ve been like the cold sigma male but now that I am smiling more and just relaxed and chill I get more eyes contacts and it feel like I have better connections with girls.
Hope it helped you, we’re gonna make it king 💪
Hope it helped you
@@nakraa4458 I definitely agree with you that game is one of my weak points, I feel the same that I get a lot of looks, but I don't approach because I haven't mastered the skill of going up to and talking to girls, I will see a girl but I never know what to do so I just don't do anything. The majority of my friends girlfriends they met online so didn't meet in-person, which I think is the norm nowadays, but that's besides the point. Thanks for the reply💪 hope it goes well for you too brother
I've had a similar situation. I've become quite attractive and knew some of the girls in my school were interested but I've never done anything further to get to know them. You won't attract women if you don't become a part of their life. Women can literally forget you within seconds if you don't take up their minds hahah. You kinda need to go out, talk to them and then attract with your discipline, physique, your game etc. Become the person a valuable woman would look for in her life. Worked for me, even though I had to wait a loooong time, and I hope it will work for you as well king 👑
dude I've watched almost all of hamza's videos. Not even exaggerating, this is legit his best video in my opinion. It's amazing and honestly a cure to depression, if this video is watched by the right person it will change their life. Hamza this video is so much more valuable than you may think.
Probably one of the best videos you’ve made so far. You’ve really explained the dopamine genuinely. I’d suggest for those who want to know more about dopamine and the Pain-Pleasure balance to read “Dopamine Nation“ book by Anna Lembke. It’s an interesting book that will explain a lot . Keep it up man!
I heard someone say this once.
Motivation will always follow action.
Getting started is the hardest part. Once first domino falls, everything else will fall into place.
I really like this video. It shows that what I'm doing is good. The "Pain" for me as you said 1 gym and 2 mental state. I go to a therapist and she challenged me on many hard questions. I was in deep mental pain. Days went by when I went back to deep depression but as you said after that shitty feeling my "Motivation" went higher. Lately I have been more happy and confident. So what you said it felt as a perfect description of my feelings. Love from a Polish men!
shit’s going upwards everyday. thank you for all these videos man. real inspiration
Hamza I know you won’t see this but thank you, I used to be an extremely feminine man and you have turned my life around now I’m going outside, lifting weights, becoming a man. I just need to thank you 🙏

My classmates laught about me for watching hamza.
Today I was with a group of friends my tablet was open beacause were working on a project. One of my friends had the idea to look what videos I watched the last days. He saw hamzas channel and started reading the video titles very loud. My friends began to laugh and when he rode "5 crucial steps to go from skinny to jacked" and "4 tips to get out of the friendzone" they started laughing harder and making fun of me the girls next to us started laughing too and one said it does not surprise her that I watched this type of videos. I felt that I beacame nervous beacause everyone was laughing at me. (Also thanks to Hamza) I controlled my emotions and hide that I was nervous and changed the topic quickly. I know one year ago I would have get extremely nervous and they would have made even more fun of me. In this area I got a little better. I thought about this situation all day. I keep asking myself am I wrong and they are right or is it the other way around? Am I insecure for watching this type of videos? I decided to keep going also because I will be 17teen soon. But I am not sure how to felt about this. I would like to know if someone had similar experiences.
something ive recently started doing to challenge myself is stretch every morning for 30 min +. Its actually extremely challenging and painful because people usually wake up tight or stiff sleeping in one position the whole night. You'll really feel the burn and mental challenge of waking up first thing in the morning and stretching.
Yes you can do that but its shown to have more benefit to stretch before bed. You can do both its great for injury prevention but i dont find it challenging at all. Its relaxing i do it post training.
@@Reypstraptor4269 Yeah i think its better to do static stretching after exercise because your muscles are warmed up and not stiff whereas if you static stretch first thing in the morning, your muscles are very cold and stiff hence why it is so painful. Dynamic stretching before exercise and static after is the way to go I think.
i just want to say thank u hamza. I used to be a depressed loser but then i saw a clip of u playing above a minecraft parkour and felt motivated to get back on track. Now i barely have time in my life to watch ur vids. i still do when i’m working out or like rn while i’m waiting on my dead airpods to recharge. My life is genuinely better. And i feel better, and more masculine because of you. I respect and thank you.
Motivation isn't real, discipline is real
I disagree
Motivation IS REAL, but of course, it's not as important ad discipline :)
Are you stupid?
@@Sweaty_- In my case motivation lasts 2 days xd
@@ArtistsBigHits still, it would be really useful:D
Video summary:
Feeling down? Feeling depressed? The answer is simple: do something hard, do something uncomfortable, and go through voluntary pain. This will push up your dopamine and eventually raise your baseline. Long term gratification is better than instant gratification
Experience/do sth uncomfortable if don’t have motivation? So I guess this applies if I don’t have motivation going to gym?..
Correct me if I’m wrong.
Experience/do sth uncomfortable if don’t have motivation? So I guess this applies if I don’t have motivation going to gym?..
@Balletz zzz motivation or not, still go. You will regret not going but be thankful that you did. Like the 3Km run I did this morning
As a huge fan of Huberman. I really appreciate your distillation of his lessons supplemented with your own interpretations and experiences. As a result I find myself sharing your videos with my friends instead of random timestamps in his 2hr podcasts.
Thank you Hamza!
Watch your videos every morning man they motivate the he'll out of me. Dropped the video games, dropped the fap, got back in the gym. Taking back control of my life
It's nice to see a redpill TH-camr talk about motivation. I'm really tired of these sigma grindset "discipline, pain, suffer, push forward" Posts. Sure, having discipline is great. There are often days where I wake up and don't feel motivated AT ALL to go to the gym, and I have to push myself with discipline, but once I'm actually at the gym, it's all motivation. Its like that old saying: "I never want to get in the shower, but when I'm IN the shower, I don't want to get out again." I think we all need to strike a balance, who cares if you watch a short motivational speech before starting a deep work session, you'll do a better job than the guy who hates it and rushes through. There is no reason you can't be disciplined AND motivated gents.
A good reason to work hard will keep you motivated for life For example: retiring my parents, escaping poverty etc.
My weakness. People. Talking to new people. People have told me I am likable and easy to talk too. But still talking to new people for me feels like torture. Just being around other people, especially those I have not spoken with before.
Facts I can't stand people, but should really talk to more as socialising/networking is so important.
Same for me. Honesly i think its simple. The problem lies in the self image. Its the egoic mind trying to have a sense of identity and its just one of the things it believes. its developed at a young age. Its a lot of biochemistry that goes with it thats not of your control, different neuromoduletors at place when talking to new people.What you feel is just brain chemistry dont let it get atached to who you think you are.The brain is neuroplastic so that can be changed . maybe go out and start talking to new people and at first if you suck than maybe later you suck a little less and that can be linked with the dopamine pathway so you would want to do it more and soon you might see yourself as someone who is okay at talking to new people and you will experience it differently, less anxiety. How i fixed my anxiety is with something called paradoxical intentions.
Knowledge is actually key and we knew it from the beginning.” Why seek answers when we do not know the question”
Day 4 of asking Hamza to write a book on the Jeffrey to Adonis transformation.
I miss those Hamza umfiltered 50min Deep talks

Man, I solved a coding question on leetcode now which I could not a year ago. It feels great to know that you have learned a lot and problem solving skills have gotten better now.
Pain pleasure thing is real. I give you an example, i was on vacay last year in spain and could barely sleep there. I knew however what may work - I spent whole day outside walking. A lot of walking. No electronics,no music that day, no phone whatsoever AT ALL. I was in pain after 60k steps and passed out in hotels bedroom. I swear i woke up feeling so energetic and refreshed as if I could walk again whole day. I was not sore AT ALL. how is it possible? our bodies are amazing we just need to know how to treat it
60k steps? Are you serious? I have to try a new record too hahah
@@jonasthenoob4535 yeah it s not even my best result lol I did once probably 80-90k steps in my country between 6 AM - 22 PM - again had sleeping issues. I m estimating 80-90k because i was not having phone at all thay day - left it in my flat. I was amazed how much the body can go even with a big sleep deficit. Liftin weights is great but we as humans are designed to walk
if I'm honest, I walk a tenth of that... I'm gonna walk a lot more tomorrow, 20k steps AT LEAST, that is my goal
@@jonasthenoob4535 sure bro 20k a day is fantastic if you have time for it and can do it regularly :) good luck!
@puhacz4271 yo bro I've done it! 21k steps today
I agree with this man . I am an albanian boy and i live in small and cold city where you need to warm your house with wood . When the room is very cold i have to get wood outside . Do not misunderstand me , i do not go to the forest , we keep the wood in our garden . When i go out i feel the pain of the cold then i feel the pain of keeping the wood on my hands . Then i have to put the wood in the correct place and light up the fire . After that pain i feel gret
Hamza never disappoints 💯
This video kinda opened my eyes, it's been happening, whenever i'm doing shit i don't like i feel better just in general, whenever i start skipping some stuff that i don't want to do etc i feel worse in the long run, ty hamza appreciate you bro
Cold showers aren't as bad as people think.
I've been taking cold showers for 5 years straight, even through winters and it feels amazing (apart from the brain freezes).
But one interesting thing I've found is that the world is getting colder, the first few years it was cold, nothing more, 3rd and 4th year, I get brain freezes everytime during winters but this year, even my hands are frozen during it.
Yeah after long enough of taking them you get used to the cold after like 2 seconds
@@rudalph529 Facts, the cold fades away cause ur body is numb.
But idk about u, but the water gets colder and colder each year
@@baofc2609 its cold in the winter for sure, havent been taking them for long enough to tell you, only since around last spring
@Eoghan the cold water from my house comes directly from big river near us, it freezes my brain and my hands this year.
Taking cold showers is great, but Be careful if u have a heart or any breathing difficulties
Bro really uploads every video at the exact times I need them
Even the best of us feels unmotivated sometimes, but the reason he's the best is he does the hard work even when he doesn't feel like it.
This is probably the most practical video from Hamza in recent months. If ppl just focused on this concept of “pain leads to pleasure” and ignored everything else, this whole generation would be saved
That's what I'm saying bro this video is a "how to be happy" tutorial

I absolutely love your videos!!! They are so informative, inspiring and at the same time hilarious! I find myself literally laughing out loud and learning life changing advice at the same time. Beautiful combination! Thanks so much for all the time and energy you put into your videos. People of all ages can definitely benefit from these amazing videos you do. 🙌🏼Thanks again!
I have made it a habit to go into 3 situations every day that make me uncomfortable.
The good thing is, if you do it for a while, you look for situations in everyday life that make you feel uncomfortable, you want that situation! You even want situations that make you more and more afraid. I can recommend it to you, as a strongly introverted man, I was able to make big leaps with it and get out of my comfort zone faster. Of course you don't always have exactly three situations, sometimes there are more and sometimes fewer. That's not so bad I think. But the best thing is that you notice immediately when you encounter such a situation and then the motivation comes to your head immediately, you think yes, now there is a chance.
This was a really good video Hamza, the couple of last ones felt a bit empty to be completely honest, but this one I feel is much more purposeful and constructive, thank you for the work you and the whole team puts to bring us the best content possible.
Hamza (and other readers) Take a cold shower and be calm, don't move, dont rush your breaths and try to stay relaxed. You probably will do fast inhales but do slow exhales, don't think of something else or sing a song, but Focus on counting your breaths. After you do 60 breaths or more go out of the shower and I PROMISE you, that you will insane. It's like experiancing pain and you'll meditate at the same time. I personally did It and I felt better than ever. Hamza I hope you read this, you said that you were singing rap, but if you Focus on staying calm, counting breaths and being at the moment IT will feel a lot better. You can close your eyes while doing this. Do the hard work, esspecualy if you don't feel like IT.
The pain of regret is much more than the pain of discipline.
Seriously this is basicaly cure for depresion, thank you
Honestly your best advice for being productive and getting shit done has always been writing out a schedule/time table for the next day
I could be in a rut of getting nothing done for 2 whole weeks and I get completely back on track by just making a schedule for the next day
Yooo hamza love ur videos keep it up 😊
I took the cold shower. I slowly went further under and was fully under for 10 seconds. It was so uncomfortable and painful and my breathing went really fast and I thought I was going to faint and was actually generally scared. Good experience lol. I'm going to do it everyday.
It took me like a minute to go fully under because it was so uncomfortable. The only way to describe it is approaching the edge of a cliff.
Keep it up 🦾
Same but I remain under a cold shower for at least 10 minutes.
Thanks for this video Hamza, I was feeling unmotivated today and this video really helped me to pick up my weights, usually whenever I feel demotivated I come to your channel, and thats a sign that what you're putting out here really helps. Keep it bro, I really respect what you do.
It’s crazy how Hamza is psychologically correct. I just finished a psych course in college and he’s 100% correct. I can’t believe he has those bullshit haters, good work man 🙏🏾
M19. Hamza, I want to thank you for your videos. You saved my future. I broke up with my Jeffrey gf after 2 years thanks to your video about girls' red flags and feel alive again. Please, continue making your videos, you help a lot of men, thank you!
I did not thought about this, I´ve been recently on high depression from a pleasure season and I did not understanded why, this helped me a lot, thanks Hamza!!
