Watched this video a couple of month ago - fixed my sleep cycle, started doing my work in the library not my room, set realistic measurable, started exercising more and stopped worrying so much about things I couldn't change. I'm quite happy and am feeling a lot better than I was before - thanks for the video. I think portraying it as 'do this to maximise sadness' rather than 'don't do this to be happy' makes the message a lot more palatable and lets it sink in easier

Made this for myself, and thought to share: 1. Go outside, get moving, don't lock yourself up. 2. Fix your sleep schedule, get proper sleep. 3. Reduce your screen time. 4. Don't fret over irrelevant topics and things that you can't control. If you want to do something, do it. 5. Set a clear and achievable goal. Make small consistent goals. 6. Don't search for your idea of happiness, just do what makes you happy. 7. Think things through, weigh and understand the consequences/results of your action.

I don’t know how to set SMART goals because for my entire life, I have only ever set VAPID ones. The only reason anything ever got done was because people told me what to do. I try to sleep and wake consistently but I cannot. If I am not tired, I cannot sleep no matter how hard I try because my mind does not shut up (thanks ADHD). This video is depressing for me because it paints the image that I cannot change the course, no matter how much I wish I could. I am stuck in a whirlpool that is dragging me down.

Matthew Taylor both paying and not paying rent have advantages. Depending how much you pay you can be left with very little money so you are unable to do anything, plus work can leave you exhausted so you won't do anything anyway. Not paying rent leaves you without a weekly goal "make this much money", it doesn't force you to get a job which is a distraction and most of the time provides human interaction, you are also not paying for your own basic needs which can make you feel worthless.

I think this is far more effective than any motivational video about success. No one wants to change up their lifestyle if what they have going for them is working. No, you may not be happy with how you are living, but you aren't dead and it could be worse. A lot of the time motivational videos talk about what actions you *can* take in order to improve your life, but not what actions you should quit doing.

@Light_Mode227 Рік тому
@@sasin2715 From the perspective of someone who has never been depressed that may be what people think but as someone who has experienced it, it is quite different. Depression isn't about putting of goals and stuff it just means that you struggle to find the will power to do things that can be really simple such as getting out of bed, making a meal (i often missed breakfast while depressed) and you have just a constant lack of energy. It is hard to get out of depression but you just gotta hold on.

@@Pluto-ek3mh Influencers aren't really... skilled. Several of them from where I come have publicly come out about heavy depression, body dysmorphia, eating disorders and whatnot. Even if they're objectively skilled, they're not really "better" than any of us. They're us but with more money and a lot more public exposure. None of that matters in the grand scheme if you don't want it to. I like the way "you will only live in their shadow" is a bit like how this video itself works. This is why we shouldn't compare, as you mentioned originally, because it brings out these arguments which don't really open up anything new but rather just keep the same old circle going.
