I personally think the hardest thing was to get out of the cycle where you want to know a lot and everything, but don't focus on information that you actually know you're going to or plan to apply in your life by doing and information that you are interested at the moment, that has a reason for consuming, because what I learned is that consuming content and not having a goal for it, for why you're consuming it, atleast for me, drained a lot of my energy and the worst part was that I start to recognize that I havent even started anything, theres was no progress made, only the frickin' conflict with my self.
And idk personally, naturally I started to consume the content that I actually enjoy in the moment, that makes me feel very light, happy and present, not full of resistance or impatience, even if its not educational, but it was now my task to not feel bad for not consuming that I thought was right. And I just made smaller goals that are important for me now in the moment, not the ''what I want to achieve in my life time goals'', the bigger ones just keep them in your mind in the beginning. Ofcourse I still have those moments where I feel like I'm missing out and moments that I still need to hear that mindset talk, which I do If I FEEL like I NEED it, but if I feel that the information is not serving me in the moement, I'm not interested, there's no purpose, even if there's some good information then I don't listen to it, because I know that I won't take it into account. And when you actually do stuff everything is different and by doing also now I know what I dont know and have to learn specifically, so the information consuming is more valuable, because it's actually being applied in real life.
Also doing is more fun and the learning process is faster. So now I work hard and play hard. I develop skills that meet my goals and feel like a winner, and I finally get to truly enjoy my free time by letting myself do whatever I desire and gives me energy, even if it's not ''productive'', aslong as it makes you feel present and happier that's all that matters, because then everything will come to you naturally.

I love art, for the longest, I have always wanted to pursue a career in art. During my times of high school, I gave up sleeping to draw for friends and in my social media. Shortly after, I had. a fall out with my parents because they did not agree with my hobby that I think is traumatic to me in a way. I don't have a memory on how much we lashed out on each other, I went and stayed with friends the same night. One day, I think I just had enough came home and accepted their wishes for me to study engineering. I don't know how, but they are happy with the news and I'm happy for them too.
I started studying sciences, I used to hate them but I studied math, chemistry, and physics, I did it all to make them proud. I got accepted in a very selective public school, the pressure was on me because I was basically the impostor: I had basic math knowledge, no provisions for engineering, and had never touched machines. But I accepted it. Soon after, I realized, I had changed. I no longer doodle on notebooks, I don't know how to draw anymore, I no longer interested in art, but my heart felt a pang of sadness. Yes, I love my new study, but I always felt sadness when I see my old friends pursuing art through joy and grief. I soon felt tired when it's getting more advanced (my study, but I'm a capable student. Nowadays, seeing how accomplished my artists friends are with the same age as me, makes me wonder what if I was hard-headed and stood my place back then.
but then I always keep my spirits up with the thought: Art world is FAR harsher than any other fields I was on. They had their own share of difficulty, but I lost my main source of happiness too, drawing, that makes me feel out of place all the time.

That's the trouble! People say I need to impruve myself. I've done that. no matter what I do, nothing ever works out for me. I had goals but finances got in the way of them. I tryed going back to college to get a mastwe's degree, that greated a bigger problem. Instead of getting the classes I wanded I got stuck with classes tha didn't fit ny needs and it interfeared with other resposibilities and they were too fast paced. College was more trouble than it's worth. I'm back to being my old self again but I'm not happy about it. But what else can I do? I've tryed everything. It's no wonder I'm still single. I want to have a relationship but no body ever appreasiats me for who I am, except my sister. If I could find sombody who is just like my sister who Is willing to accept me for who I am and willing to love me like she does, I would marry her. There's nobody like my sister. As I said before, I've done all of that self impruvement stuff. All it does is pring more stress and heartache into my lifelike I was trying to be someon I'm not. That's the trouble! nobody likes me for who I am. Im a kind respectful person. Always willing to help someone in need. What's wrong with that?

This self-improvement phenomenon amuses me as I have been on a self-improvemnt journey since 1973. I try to live each day better than the days before, and I try to become a better person than I was before. Am I always successful? No. A devastating chronic illness, major depression, poverty, and personal relationship problems have all knocked me down over and over, but I have never given up. Well, maybe for an hour or so, but then I have told myself, You can do this. Never give up. Keep trying. I still have problems with my weight. I am still impatient with people who know better, but choose to do the wrong thing anyway. When I have conquered one problem, another weakness becomes apparent. Never compare yourself to another person. Only compare yourself to yourself. Am I better today than I was yesterday? last week? last month? a year ago? Becoming a better person is a LIFE-LONG process: )

I'm gonna throw a weird and unrelated thing out here.
I've recently started feeling like, i'm not even sure how to properly describe it, wanting to be pretty? I'm a guy but i feel like i want to look beautifull in a feminine way, not a handsome masculine way. It's been a weird ride, since i know it isn't feasible in the slightest, i'm pretty wide shouldered and have a decent jawline.
It's not in a trans typa way either, the feeling is not about being female/male, all i know is that it's confusing the hell out of me. I'm even struggling to put my thoughts about it into text.
I probably won't be able to tell anyone at all about this, so i guess that's why i'm dumping it here, i needed to get it off my chest somehow.

Hey. Psych2go I have a little question. How can I be always motivated and Passionate? Because I realized that it have been years that I have the same habit of Not doing anything or not doing my assignments. And feel empty and crying in night usually and when I said that I will stay motivated and finish this today. I ended up being in bed and scroll through social media. Even if I try to force myself to do this I felt no control to my self, I want to atleast make my parents proud, and have great scores and results in my class, I tried to be positive but why does it felt like negativity is taking a part of me, I was never like this before, I want to cure this. Thank you so much

My main reason for me not doing any self-improvement or when I actually try and do them I get tired after 5 seconds because I most of the time feel out of energy I just lacking the motivation to keep it up or to actually start it even though i have the best mindset and plan and also there is a lot of influencers out there which honestly it is kinda depressing seeing others moving forward and you are just a sitting duck however I just feel like laying down and do nothing and feel embarrassed and ashamed for not taking any actions yet

I like 7 Habits of highly effective teens because the author actually has a list of small ways to apply the principals in real life on the end of the chapters! I thing this really helps to apply what he teaches in these books: . And no. 4 reminded me of that: 3
also I visualize too much and sometimes have trouble applying knowledge and thats about it. I could give 10 less fricks about what someone thinks of my body

The sad thing is that many of these are exactly the approaches that most of us are raised to rely on, all of our lives. Sadly, the comments on not acting on self-help principles, or even finishing the books, or on fantasizing instead of taking action, hit home for me strongly, as I suffer from maladaptive daydreaming and executive-function issues from autism and AD/HD.

This year I had to strugle with croric paine, and I tried to study but the paine only increased, so I understod that I was only harming myself by trying to do something that I didn't have the conditions to do. Again this is a example of what the society of production can do to somebody, It s ok to give up If you don t want or don t have the conditions to keep on

It's funny. I've always been someone who can plan things out from A to ZZ, but by time it comes to execution, my self-doubt kicks into overdrive and I lose heart before I can physically get started, so now I'm actually attempting to see things through, even if they do inevitably fail miserably. at least I will have tried. Good video! :)

I use to think Yuri Choi was a member of the P2G team. I miss her. she's very gentle. I think one thing most of us with mental illness have in common is that we appreciate gentleness. It would be really cool to see a Petey reference in one of these videos or just to see a cute animation of him. Amanda's dog is great.

Hustle culture is very dangerous, you lose sight of what makes you happy and you and ultimately in the long run that affects EVERYTHING, the burnout happens along the way and everything else follows suit.
You need to be happy, not work your entire life only to realize that its over.

It's better to be real to yourself. Some of these I used to do. I found It's better to be focused on step by step life changes, and not to worry. 100 years is a long time to live. Don't rush to the finish. Things take time focus on what you can do. You'll see change, just be patient.

My score card 5/5. Atleast I excel in one field. I have been suffering from depression (i guess) for almost a year because of these reasons. But I don't think I can stop them except the last one. Without them I don't know what will I do. I am nothing today. I said too much sorry.

I'm guilty of points 1, 4 and especially 5. I often just dream about where I want to be, instead of figuring out how to get there; and it's really easy for me to forget once I've figured out the steps. I'm trying to change that, but boy is it being a long road.

That's why I don't have any dreams, bcs I'm a dreammer. It's easy for me to run away from my reality with just my thoughts. And it works better for me bcs if you don't have something planned, nothing can goes wrong.

He he he I just want to make everyone happy, but to do this is without hurting or exploiting anyone is unrealistic. So in reality, making everyone happy while doing as little damage as possible is the mission.
