Nah, the only thing ruining my life are borning af people who can't even come close to positively stimulate me in any way and choose to do it negatively.
I have been training religiously for almost a decade now. i work 160-184 hrs a month, train 4 times a week, work on my hobbies (they are multiple) in me free time, and still find time to socialise and sleep. All these without caffeine or cigarettes or any kinds of poison that others put into their bodies just to be able to wake up. I have to say that training is what made me realise that I could do all these things without any kind of stimulants. When it is such an important part of your daily life, you manage time like the top 0.0001 percent. people always ask me about the secret routine I follow. the secret is that there is no secret routine. Just manage your time efficiently. I am extremely aware of the fact that watching this video and typing this comment took 20 minutes off my time available to me daily. A fact I wouldn't have taken into account in my mid 20s. I really wish that I have. But its never too late to start improving. Find time to train 4 times a week. push yourself off the bed and start training sleepy. your body will adapt. it will adapt to a degree where you will wake up just because it is your training day. and without you even noticing, you will start managing your time efficiently.
People like to laugh at the Nestlé Ozempic meals, but honestly good on them! ALL food items that can be protein enriched SHOULD be! Instead of processed food meaning hyper palatable garbage, let's process it to be hyper healthy.
In 2024 food can be cheap, high protein, low calorie, and tasty. There's just no market bc no one gives a shit.
Dopamine Nation is alright as a first read, if you want to get your train of thought going but all in all to moralistic, poorly crafted and based on insufficient evidence to base your approach on it if you want change. At least that’s my opinion.
I feel like doing a video or touching on the benifits/realities of taking photos everyday to track progress would be useful. As it definatly serves a narative purpose in the videos and real world purpose for tracking progress, but i wonder how they seem to people who havent been thoroughly introduced to them and understand that the progress will take time and fluctuate as the main focus the photos get in your videos is as a sort of before an after without an appretiation for the journey you have gone through to create that progress and the times you overcame looking at a 'negative' improvment in a photo and still picked yourself up and got back to work.
I really appretiate your videos and the focus you place on healthy ways to achieve goals. Im just wondering how those spesific sections may be interpreted by those who have rarely been exposed to that area and whether there is a better way to give the appretiation for the journey there as thats the most impressive part, rather than the end?
maybe it would work as a part of a disection of 'before and after culture' or around people falling off after achieving a spesific goal (as someone who has recently experienced that it would be benificial) and maybe around learning to appretiate the joy of the journey, finding sports/activities that spark joy and are not just a hard activity for the sake of a goal?
Would appretiate your thoughts on this, and of course no shade, really enjoy your videos and think you are doing and excellent job. Much love
Thank you for this, Josh. I've felt this all too much in recent times and it's a topic that really should be talked about more openly. I wish for everyone to grow more aware of the ways in which we've become possessed by the constant feed of stimulation in our modern world.
I had a messed up thought the other day – that we people who live in the cities, with access to the highest amounts of stimulation, are more like cattle to corporations than we are humans. The cities are the farms, and the endless stimulation is our feed. We exist to line their pockets, while they simply keep us hooked.
I hope that we can all find our way back to balance and moderation. I hope we can all learn to serve ourselves and not the corporate entities who prey on our human vulnerabilities.
We talk about how the kids these days are sullen and bored but nobody takes into the account the urbanism. I bet kids in Luxenbourg, Netherlands are happier than those in America. For example in 10 years the amount of cars on my home street (Armenia, Yerevan) quadrupled and this is not an overstatement. We went from having space to play outside to nothing.
You are apart of overstimulation, you are here to provide content. And you earn money from people's click too. Nobody will find the answer of his proboems on YouTube, trust me (i tried lol)
I'm totally depressed for years now, and I'm stimulating myself with videos all day long whenever I have free time, I am only able to work at my job because of fear, only fear motivates me, otherwise outside of the time that other people enforce work on me I feel like I have no will power. I can't motivate myself to anything, it's like I'm watching youtube to live other people's life, not wanting mine. Your video is a bit inspirtating but I still feel helpless and don't know any technique to overpower the pain that any activity causes to me.
you didnt even include porn addiction and video games addiction which I believe are waaaay more prevalent for males compared to social media – which is mostly for women
I like that you are sharing those books, I will certainly have a look. I have a hard time figuring out what to read but the subject is very interresting, and I've always wanted to get a bit into it. Would you consider having a book recommendation list somewhere that you'd share. It's hard for other countries that have different langages to get decent recommendations in another langage.
Also something to remember for people is the release of dopamine is what drives you to seek out pleasurable things, but you don't have to seek out the thing you normally would. It can be redirected.
For me, I was using cocaine casually on weekends, and I usually had a certain party playlist we would listen to when we used. Well, I figured out at some point that music would trigger a craving for cocaine (that little pre-release of dopamine) because I'd made that association in my mind. As an experiment, I threw on the playlist before going for a run to see if I could channel that dopamine into something else. It was one of the best runs I ever had.
Through my life experience I noticed somewhere where I would prefer to fall down a rabbit hole of emotional pain (like reminiscing about the past/wishing things were different/ blah blah blah) over being bored. I thought I was crazy, but this video showed us it's part of being a human or just an organism… We literally prefer pain or pleasure over boredom. Pretty crazy lol
Feel free to watch this one at 2x speed if it's not stimulating enough😉
P.S. Not good timing for a Cody Ko clip🙃

This channel was about fitness, why everybody seem to jump to the "self-improvement" type of content too easily

As usually, nothing is good nor bad.It depends on the dose and on your relation to it
I needed this. Thanks bud.
Another amazing, high quality video ❤ How do you not have 10x more subscribers!?

It’s funny just started realized how depressed and how messed up my phone is making me. Happy I just deleted all my social media apps
One of my favorite youtubers man, I get excited every time you upload a new video. Keep up the awesome work!
Is youtube as harmful as other forms of social media? 🤔

Really good video, it's important to talk about overstimulation and to make this problem more popular so people talk about it 👍✌️
