NEW VIDEO: Why Change Is so Hard - and How to Fix It
🕑 Added 2022-06-07 14:04:36 +0000 UTCIf you are like most people, there is a gap between the person you are and the person you wish to be. There are little things you think you should do and big things you ought to achieve. From working out regularly, eating healthy, learning a language, working on your novel, reading more or simply actually doing your hobby instead of browsing reddit.
But it can seem that to achieve your goals, you have to become a different person. Someone who is consistent, puts in more effort, has discipline and willpower. Maybe you have tried your hardest to be like that. And it worked! For a while. Until you find yourself slipping back into your old ways. In the end, you always seem to fail. And with every failed attempt, you become more and more frustrated and annoyed with yourself.
If you believe “success and hustle” internet, it is all your own fault: if you don't succeed, you just didn’t want it enough and the failure is all you. But change is actually hard. But as with most things in life, understanding why makes things easier.

I really really like this type of content, huge fan of human behavior/psychology edit: how does the video know I waste time on reddit? hahahahahaha

I appreciate all of your work. This was great. Thanks! I don't know whether it's my memory, but it seems that each recent video features a single person and also a topic. If it's easier to animate, I guess cool. I've noticed I find these much harder to tune in to than ones like homeopathy https://youtu.be/8HslUzw35mc. I don't know whether it's the same reason, but this used to be my kids' favorite channel just a couple years ago. They still love science content, but recent videos here are less engaging for them too.

Maybe a video on the new psychedelic studies or the concept of psychedelics

I really like this video, hope you will do more videos about science-based self-improvement in the future

I learned a lot of this in rehab, which is sad. I think ppl should be taught this stuff in school incase their parents are missing out on some life skills.

This video seemed a bit different than the others, maybe a bit more vague ? Either way, the animation was still top notch, specially the running animation around 7:21! Keep on following your heart on what you should do next, awesome work 👌
Lauren Prince
Oh goodness, down to the "work on your novel" part
