Here’s a link to the blood test I used: siphoxhealth.com/discount/goalguys Siphox Health reached out to us after they saw the video and set us up with an affiliate link, so we’ll get some kick back from each purchase made through this link. Hope the test is helpful for you, and thanks for watching and supporting the channel! Also, a lot of y'all commented on my testosterone levels, so I made a follow up video focused solely on improving my T levels: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/imOEja-oaX5-sJc.html&ab_channel=GoalGuys

That little talk in the car was so real. So relatable.

Thank you for sharing you experience-- focus is everything indeed, is hard and yet as you proved, is attainable for meaningful stretches on a daily basis. I do think it gets "easier" (or the process of re-focus more familiar and facile) over time. Best Wishes, Andrew

8:07 - 9:30 I've never heard someone so exactly describe the grief inside me that no one around me has understood when I try to explain it. Thank you ... I needed that.

Huberman helped change my life, dude. I went from a suicidal, depressed alcoholic in a loveless marriage during the pandemic to an unrecognizable, happy, sober divorced dad. I don't recall being this content since I was a child. Great video!!

I love the irony that I'm watching this instead of doing my History assignment

This is the first time I’ve heard a UKpostsr admit to themselves the harsh reality of being self-employed. Thank you, I appreciate you being real with it.

It felt like i was watching myself for 14 minutes straight, and that self talk at 08:10 that really hit hard. 8 years and still struggling with the same issue leaving so much potential on the table. thank you so much for this video.

8:00 - 9:48 Man I have NEVER in my 7 years of struggling heard someone explain EXACTLY what I am going through. I thought I was broken somehow, but fixable. I feel really stupid as you finally revealed the answer; my relationship with my phone is toxic. At the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

1. Write down the time you wake up 2. 10-15min walk 3. Drink saltwater 4. Drink athletic green 5. 90min work 6. Physical exercise 7. Cold shower 8. Have breakfast/brunch/lunch at around 11am Edit: don't forget to leave your phone behind, this is the key to success in this routine. Thanks for noticing! And personally, I prefer to write down the goals right after noting the time I wake up, that helps me redefine and reaffirm my visions for the future.

i hope that day 30 wasnt your final day and that you are continuing this routine, you seem so happy and satisfied. you have truly inspired me. thank you.

Brother, you have a huge heart and an immense amount of determination. I too was unable to show up in my life at full capacity since my dad passed in 2012. I ended up with colitis amongst other extreme dis ease within my body. Aug 12 2023 I chose to do a 45 day fast, that I created for myself, of all misalignments in my life that were keeping me from operating out of my highest form. During thisnfast I also feasted for 45 days on all alignments. I used wisdom that I have gained from life, teachers and coaches that I have had the pleasure of receiving thought out my life. Doing this for myself brought so much energy and clarity and drive to serve and do my good works. Thank you for doing this for yourself, for having self worth and for being vulnerable. These traits create unconditional love within our hearts. Look at all the love and opportunity for others to build their faith in themselves. Thank you again for sharing your journey!

No one talks about the self-discipline required to be the selfpreneur or freelancer. This is incredibly relatable. Know you’re not alone. I’ve tested the 45min work, 15min break idea which has helped. I “only” have to do 45 mins at a time and this feels more achievable. Thought it was worth a share to try!

Really appreciated the cinematography! All the little time lapse touches and contrasts between the old and the new worked really well to communicate your points! I think it's in atomic habits, the idea of, "When you have bad habits, time is your enemy; but with good habits, time is your ally." This new routine seems like it will continue to pay compound interest in your life. Thanks for sharing!

Bro, this video was so more real than I was expecting. Thank you for being vulnerable.

Thank you soooo much for sharing your experience! Your vulnerability and transparency with your struggles and being scared that you're leaving potential on the table really hit me. I'm sooo freaking happy for you and you've inspired me! ✨

Cam, I really appreciate how raw and honest you were in the car talk. I can relate so much.

Honestly? This is one of the most relatable, funny, light mood and inspiring video I've watched this week. Thanks for being so open and humble. I'm happy for your and will give this a try myself! Can't thank you enough! Keep going! Cheers ✌🏻🙌🏻

That was a really good video! Thank you specifically for staying open about your moment of vulnerability... Seeing you hone in on figuring out WHY and asking the relavant questions and tweaking the routine, or using your experience to grow is SUCH a good and needed contrast to the 'giving up' mentality that permeates our culture nowadays. Thank you!

That was great! An honest coverage of your journey. It's my personal experience that when I am doing: 1. Service for the community 2. Practicing meditation 2x a day for ~20min. I don't feel pulled by any distraction. If we look at it deep enough why do we want to be productive at all in the first place? 🤔 Just because we feel great about ourselves? ☺ And when is it that we really feel great about ourselves - it's always when whatever we do makes others lives better. 😇 Our nature is to share and make world a better place. That's why most of the unproductive habits creep in when we are not doing enough for the society at large not just our close ones. So being productive despite of having the phone beside me is a challenge I keep for myself. And whenever I do the above activities I am totally focused😄

Your speech at 8:10, "Maybe I'm not the person I thought I was. I'm leaving so much potential on the table" really resonated with me. I'm gonna give this morning routine a try because I seriously need a jolt. Thanks for your videos.

The 'car talk' truly resonated with me on a deep level. 1. It made me realize that the challenges I face are not unique to me alone. It's reassuring to know that others have experienced similar setbacks and obstacles along their journey. 2. This kind of self-realization is a powerful reminder that we all have the capacity to reflect upon ourselves during moments of demotivation. By looking inward and examining our own actions, attitudes, and perspectives, we hold the key to making meaningful changes in our lives. It empowers us to take responsibility for our circumstances and actively seek solutions, rather than succumbing to a sense of helplessness.

I am so happy for your success and progress!!! Thank you for sharing your vulnerable moments with us

Hello. My name is Carlos Hernandez from Aguascalientes Mexico. You can't imagine how much I loved your video, I felt like you were describing me at the time you were going through those bad times but the attitude, the energy, the music, the video in general was excellent. congratulations and keep it up. Thank you for sharing that journey. Muy chingon.

People don't notice this . But much efforts the goal guys do on editing and scripting is top notch . Really makes me feel the video is like a well structured with being informative and helpful to the general audience and also the topics they touch on doing is just genius like taking on the trend and seeing if it actually works out or not .

That car talk summed up my last two years. I'm 23 y.o., I work from home since the beggining of the pandemic and still feel like I could go higher and do better. Seriously thinking about giving this routine a try and see if I can see any improvments! Great video, and cheers from Portugal!

I felt that talk in the car, you’re not the only one that feels that way. I totally understand how you feel. But thanks for putting this video out there because it definitely impacted my own journey of becoming the best version of myself self! Thank you!

It's my first time stumbling upon one of your videos. I am about 1/3 through watching this. WOW OMG. The quality of this video, camera work, the editing, the humor. everything, all that, blows my mind. Love it. You and your brother are so likeable.

And can we also talk about the fact that this is why a "9 to 5" (a dirty word on the internet, I know) can be so vital for many people? It not only forces you to learn routine, it forces you to learn that doing hard things pays off. Not everyone's just automatically built to self-start and be a natural entrepreneur, and that's okay. There is nothing wrong with spending your 20s in a good, rewarding 9 to 5 to learn the tools to become professionally independent in your 30s. It's not degrading or failure.

Dude. Everything about this video, from the story arc to cinematography, the editing, all of it was so so good. One of the best UKposts videos I’ve seen. Bonus points for the content cuz I’m a huberman boi myself. You took it to a new extreme so I’m inspired to apply these ideas with more rigor in my own life. Cheers 🎉

Thank you for this! I've been feeling like a slump as well. So I'm gonna try this challenge for myself and praying that it'll become a lifestyle 🙏🏽. Good job sticking to it👏🏻

Thank you for being so open and honest with your challenges. Very inspirational!

Bro, I started to cry when you started talking about fighting productivity and thinking this is who you are. Dang man! I say this as an Army Combat Veteran, you made me think hard about myself. I cant thank you enough! But Thank you!

Of all the videos relating to sleep and morning routines, this is the very best that I have seen. I related shockingly well to your "car talk," in that I realized that I've felt the very same thing about myself for several years now: maybe I'm just not the person I thought I was. For 6+ years, I have been wondering what the heck I'm doing - and, following 2020, that feeling definitely became exacerbated. I'm now asking myself if it's because of my horrible routine(s) that I've been doubting myself and feeling unsure of what my goals and career interests even are. Maybe I AM the kind of person who wants to and can do meaningful work; maybe I am a morning person; maybe I would be interested in 'career A' if I were more focused in general. I honestly didn't think that a UKposts video would ever make me feel this way, so I'm so thankful I clicked on this video at 3am. I appreciate just how genuine and sincere your message and efforts are. This could be the late night fumes talking - but I feel inspired to tackle a similar routine, because I'm just blown away with what this one has done for you. Thank you very much for sharing this personal journey - and in such a beautifully filmed and edited video, to boot!

It was hard to hear your struggles man, that's incredibly rough. When you said you are fighting against something, I really relate. For me it was caused by ADHD. Other things can cause executive function issues and difficulty with productivity too. But that's what it was for me, and diagnosis changed my life.

Hey, you’ve done an incredible job making some healthy changes and you deserve every ounce of joy this brings you. I just hope that you don’t base your whole self worth on how productive you are because you seem like a really great guy without all that too. People with dopamine shortages often turn to interacting with their phone as a somewhat unhealthy dopamine seeking behavior (FaceTiming a friend can be healthy, doomscrolling twitter almost never is). Working alone is super hard because you don’t get the little dopamine boost from interaction with others. I just hope anyone reading this can have self compassion whenever they are struggling and consider it’s not their fault or an indicator of laziness to struggle with focus

This is genuinely one of the most wholesome, relatable videos on the Huberman morning protocol. Thank you for sticking it out and documenting it!

01:19 Huberman's routine includes early wake-up, sunlight exposure, delayed caffeine, cognitive workout, exercise, and cold exposure. 03:37 Struggles with productivity, distractions, and procrastination persist throughout the challenge. 08:49 Constant phone use hampers focus during work sessions. 12:43 After the challenge, the UKpostsr sees improved energy, mood, and productivity, planning to maintain some routine practices.

Hi man! Great work working on yourself, really motivational. An idea: Make a video like this every once in a while in order to document how you got over low energy periods or what kind of obstacles you encounter. I feel like this kind of routine fades out fast for some people, and it would be nice to see some refreshment strategies

Thank you for making this video. I'm also self-employed and have been in such an awful slump lately. Didn't expect your breakdown mid-way in the video and it really hit home for me. I feel like there's some hope now for me.

Can totally relate. I’m not a morning person and I’ve been self employed for a decade. Walks in the morning, Ac vinegar, water and electrolytes first thing have been a game changer. I find when I work at my local coffee shop for a few hours I get more done than the same amount of time at home. The change of location, the white noise of people around me, and an americano makes a huge difference in my ability to focus. I also notice an improvement in focus working on my balcony in nice weather.

As someone who has started this routine for about a month now. The lack of motivation was making me crazy. This helps me so much to understand it's normal and the thing I need to do right now. Thank you so much for this

I started audio Journaling every morning 2 weeks ago, and I have to say that it is great. Just being able to get it all out and move foward is amazing

I love this episode because you show yourself as a human, like we all are. I can say it moved me and I am sincerely happy that you made such a transformation. Curious whether you are still on the same morning routine?

I really related to this. I just wanted to thank you for making this video. I’m a 54 year old woman who has never taken the time to comment on a video until now. Sending this to my kids as well. Many thanks and keep up the good work. You are motivating me!

Wow, I teared up when you had that moment in the car. I’ve been feeling the same way about my business too. 6.5 years in… so relatable. Thank you for sharing, very excited to start trying this!

It's the only helpful and useful motivational video I've seen since the beginning of watching UKposts. Thank you for sharing your experience. Sincerely.

I honestly don’t think I have ever related more to a piece of content before in my life… thank you for sharing your experience and inspiring me to do hard things.

I have to say that I haven't seen nor found yet anyone talking about the fact that your video edition was on point .. making it look like an actual short movie .. the storyline, the shots and music .. nicely done ✔️ 👏

The car talk was so relatable. I'm trying to get somewhere in my life from past 3 years are I'm failing miserably. I hope this routine helps me to get where I imagine myself. A big thanks to you! I was feeling very low, seeing you in the same situation as me and then improving is giving me so much motivation also i am feeling a bit better. THANK YOU🥺🥺

I so love this! Thanks for sharing! I love @hubermanlab teachings/videos. I have been truly blessed.

Oh wow, watching that conversation with yourself in the car it hit me. That's the conversation I've been having with myself lately, and this video is such an inspiration. I'm going to try this! All I can say is thank you so much.

Man you have me in tears and smiling at the same time! This is so relatable. My problem is that it´s not my phone that is distracting me, but the access to Internet (UKposts) on my computer. It is so tempting to go for a a quick dopamine hit instead of focusing and getting shit done! I´m giving this morning routine a try!!

I love this vulnerability! It's so incredible to see a man be open and vulnerable like in the car, with the fears and challenges of this process. Beautiful. I feel you brother! Progress and breaking old patterns is tough work and scary as hell, but so dang essential. Stoked for you my man! Keep it up!

Full respect. You turned the corner ditching the distraction and the energy thereafter was somewhat visible in your video blog thereafter. Great work, well done!

Ive been stuck in a slump myself. I think this is the inspiration I've been looking for! I'm going to try the 30 days out. Happy to stumble upon this video

This is phenomenal! Love the transparency and can absolutely relate. Thank you for your time and energy to push this out! the editing is A1, wow.

Thank you for being so real. I’m an independent contractor/entrepreneur myself and it seems that ever since 2020 quarantines my same struggles in health and focus/motivation got really really bad. It’s affected my income and my mental health. Your experience gives me hope to stick to it! Thank you for sharing.

No offense, but all of these videos of UKpostsrs, who don't have "real jobs " / I would love to see one of these challenges with someone who's job is not to sit at home and make videos. / what about people if I have to get up and be at the office, school, etc. most of the day?

This is an awesome video. Extremely creative & informative. Love the editing and the message. Thanks for putting your struggles and wins on the internet. Well done. Starting tmr

Thank you very much for showing the vulnerable moment in the car! (around minute 9) I have felt this way many times, it is hard to work "only" for ourselves. Thanks for being so open!

Managing resources and making good returns is not as easy as it seems, there are a lot of things that aren't well taught in schools. The market crisis gave me my first returns, when people stayed away from hard times I made the most of it..many credits goes to Sir Trevor James Beckerman

This video was amazing and very inspiring! Thank you for sharing your experience, I really felt connected to your story

I never actually comment on YT videos but this one was amazing. Just discovered the video after watching HubermanLab videos, it is honnestly one of the best videos I have seen. The experience is amazing and your storytelling/filmmaking skills are awesome too, I literally got goose bumps at the end of the video and I thank you a lot for that. I will definitely be checking more of your videos !

Man, the "not the person I thought I was" part REALLY hit home. Just imagine that feeling, except being caused by a decade of hardcore addiction and even after losing 29 personal friends since high school (our generation has lost more to opiates in single years than the entirety of the Vietnam conflict) you still can't break it, because it is quite literally your brain & body SCREAMING at you to get what it needs to function normally. Doesn't matter how much you hate it, doesn't matter that you were the one kid out of all your friends that was all about doing everything all natural and this is totally against every fiber in your being, not even really liking alcohol growing up. Doesn't matter your background or family history at all either. Just a few injuries in the group of friends later, EVERYONE is hooked before they even know what withdrawals really are. You start to hate your SELF, start to think that it's over with you f*cked up, you'll never be the same, you may as well end it because this is who you are now. That was 4 years ago when I felt like that, now? I'm teaching guitar & music production full time, living out my dream & passion with ZERO want for an escape like before. Playing in a few different bands/projects, and gaining more & more students every week. No matter what they tell you (be it NA, AA, your family, society, whoever) they're WRONG, you CAN move past addiction, and start brand new life. It's just pretty hard when you're forced to go to meetings and sit around a bunch of sorrowful (although rightfully) addicts and are forced to fully commit to their mentality, of which the first tenant is "once an addict, always an addict." No offense if you're someone who groups help, but every single person I know who's gone that route has circled back several times. You need a support structure, but a group that literally tells you that you're a junkie every time you walk through the door isn't healthy in my opinion. Positivity and seeing what life could be like after, is what got me here. Hopefully this falls on someone who needs to hear it. You CAN make it out, I promise.

A banger of a video! I also run my own business while working from home, and have experienced similar emotions recently. This video popped up because I have started researching Hubermans routine, and have already implementer some parts in my life. I think I needed this video today. Thank you for pushing thru, so that you could help me, and many others 🙏🏻

Great video. I've watched a few of the goal guys videos for a while, I love the challenges etc. The video portion in the car was very honest and heartfelt. Well done, ps your video has motivated me to try it too!

That was amazing! Everything about this video is absolutely amazing thanks for sharing this with us.

Man. I am in the exact same boat. Jumped into the freelance world, working for myself, from home, and really struggled. I’m not out of the woods yet, but this video has inspired me to give it a shot. Thanks for this!

Would be interesting to see a follow-up to this. It's easy to commit to something for 30 days because there's an "endpoint", but are you still keeping up with the routine even though there's a lot less accountability (i.e. you're not doing it for a 'project' anymore) ?

Thank you for sharing your experience of a rut. I have experienced simulator situations. A few years ago I talked to a psychiatrist and ADHD meds helped me focus better and also learned l have to write stuff down and have all the information I need before I type anything to avoid distractions.

1- wake up around 06:30 am 2- walk, get sunlight in your eyes 3- no caffeine for 90 mins after waking up 4- drink water with sea salt 5- fast until 11:00 am 6- 90 mins of cognitive work 7- physical exercise for an hour (i prefer stretching and light work since we need energy for college or work) 8- cold shower (begginers don't start with freezing water, work it up)

Man this was so much needed to many so thanks a tonnes. I myself made a morning routine like this and it has tremendously helped me. Focus is something like a muscle and I am trying to make it better everyday. Your video really helped me. Thank you so much. Huge fan of Huberman who is helping many in such a beautiful way.

What an awesome video. So informative and well made. I can honestly say I 100% relate to how you started and I know how hard it is to fight with old habits. But nothing is possible and you truly showcased that. Thank you so much for this❤️

This is awesome. TY for posting this because it makes the conceptual portion real thru experience!

this is the first video i have seen which actually made me feel really really good in a while. thank you and i will be trying to make similar changes myself in the future

What a beautiful and inspiring way to share your journey! I was not in a good place focus-wise and did not feel like working. Man I couldn't even finish this video in one go. But I am sooooooo glad I completed it. I am all in for trying this out myself. I used to watch you guys when you had just started but scrolling on my phone all day has been keeping me away from actually helpful content. But falling down this rabbit hole today was the best thing to happen in a while. Cheers man! Wishing you many more super productive hours!

That personal car talk, got me in the feels, thats also my hardest struggle, finding the drive and motivation that i had towards the things that I was passionate about. I after I lost my passion I haven’t been able to get it back but I continue to do it because I am naturally good at it, but I keep doing the bare minimum, but I know if I had that passion/drive I would be so much further ahead already financially!

I hate working by myself too. There is no accountability so it’s so easy to get distracted and unproductive. I felt that.

This really made me so happy, it was great to see you triumph in such a measurable way and in things we can all relate. This is also great "marketing" for Huberman's method 😊

I related so much to what you said in your car. It genuinely brought tears to my eyes, I have been going through similar loops for years now. Sometimes I just dont know if I have actual control over my life. I will do this challenge for 30 days and I hope I will notice differences in order for me to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Thank you for sharing and Thank you to Andrew for his amazing podcasts.

Thank you so much for making a relatable guide to this method I've legit never heard of, I've been desperately working on myself lately with no road map and getting mixed results. This is going to really help especially when I'm back at work and working from home some days but a nice thing to find at the start of my holidays and start building the habits at a lower pressure time of year when it's easier to lean into bad habits and set yourself up for a more difficult start to the new year

I love your editing style, very entertaining. Thanks for the content! Good work!

Really strong editing in this one so props for that. Your car speech is one I do mentally all the time. What gets me through is my present self, acts almost exclusively in my future self's best interest. A good life is a life well lived. Trust that you work in your own best interest and continue to be a good person.

Awesome stuff brother. This was an honest, raw, thoughtful, and well executed short story. You’ve got some real, valuable skills here. Be proud of yourself and keep pushing to be better everyday. Best wishes!

Feels like the descepline is all you need to be focus and productive, or being able to say no to something that will surly drain the energy. But to get that discipline is extremely hard, as you have to keep that rutine up with so many destructions around you every day! Greate motivational piece! love the mood and work you do! Thank you!

This sounds so great to share , especially with someone very dear to me . I personally think i can give this atry myself. Thank you for being honest and relatable.

This video was incredibly well done. I’m so inspired, something I haven’t felt in a while. Thank you for this.

You deserve all the views you get, keeping someone hooked for an entire video takes a ton of hard work these days. I hope your viewer count multiplies by many many more times. All the best man

this is inspiring that you are accepting your weaknesses and trying to fix them. This is great.

I recently started working from home part time and I’ve been struggling. Your car talk was like hearing myself talking! That you so much for sharing your experience in such an honest way 🙏🏻

Amazing video! Im glad your experience played out the way it did, this was so inspiring and i know this is going to help me and others well done! Keep up the good work brother 😊

i stumbled across your videos just today - and this one hit me. Finally, a real person with the same problems describe the solution. I am definitely going to apply those principles and see where I end up. A huge thank you!

This made me emotional... I absolutely love it when people better themselves 🎉 Well done! Your car chat was so relatable... ADHD makes it especially difficult to focus. Healthy habits and routines is a must for ADHD.

Really good video guys. I think everyone really appreciates the talk in your car because it’s hard for any of us to really make progress unless we sometimes need to think out loud and take a hard look at what we are doing and make that change

I enjoyed this video so much. Everything is so realistic and I can relate to it. Have been feeling Ike this for the last couple of weeks, about to give this challenge a try! Wish me luck ❤

Hey amazing video, I especially liked the fact that you did it not for anyone else but yourself which is the whole point. I've been trying to change my lifestyle for some time now and there are some really bad days as well as good days, and seeing this video just made me more hopeful about the whole situation. I am glad it benefit you and I hope everyone who is trying to have a better life achieves their goal. Stay strong everybody, just keep grinding and one final thing, never give up. peace and love

I so FEEL THIS! Thanks for the car chat! I needed to hear that. My ADHD makes it hard to be productive.

Man, that moment of self-reflection in the car felt like I was looking in the mirror. Wanting so badly to accomplish more, making radical lifestyle changes, and still not being able to force your brain to comply. Take this with a grain of salt because the root of why people function the way they do varies, but earlier this year I was diagnosed with ADHD at the ripe age of 33. Still dialing in the right medication, working to build healthy habits in therapy, and undoing a lifetime of bad coping mechanisms, but I can’t stress enough how life-changing that diagnosis has been. Appreciate the vulnerability in the video, my dude, and hope the lifestyle changes stick.
