How Do Habits REALLY Work? (THE TRUTH)

In this video we're going to discuss how habits really work. It turns out that all habits have a specific structure that they follow. We'll be breaking down the Habit Loop Model and looking at each of it's components in great detail.

    One of the best habits you can create is to start face your fears. Going after those small daily things that scares you - like approaching that cute girl, or having that uncomfortable conversation with your boss. Learn how to stay concius enough to pick up on that FEAR QUE, not escaping it, but acting on it. Taking action - making the routine happen - and then endulge in the great reward you feel afterwards, the sense of proudness for going after what you truly wanted. It's a framework that will colour of to all the different areas in your life, and it's one of the most impactfull things you can do to build your self-esteem. I know, beacuse I've don it. I'm doing it. And I love it. Transformed my life. HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE, and a special thanks to you Pill, love your work. /Alexander

    Thanks for that Alexander, it's a great place to start! If I may, without wanting to put any negativity or religious context here, I would like to point out that pride is one of the seven deadly sins; a pretty negative thing if you choose to over-endulge in it. What I want to say is that rewards are important, but they shouldn't be the motivation necessarily, more part of the game. :) You have a great day too man!

    I loved your voice imitation of the brain! Overall, spectacular video Improvement Pill! I started a routine of reading at least 30 minutes a day, usually in the morning. The problem was it was just as easy not to read. After a period of trying to force myself to read even when I didn't like it, I eventually subconsciously started to remember to read in the morning with enjoyment and pleasure.

    You see, forcing your brain to study if you don't feel like is very tricky. Your brain will not internalize all of these information that you read if your brain is not fully cooperating with you. For that, my strategy for studying is that I create time schedules for my studying: for example, 8-10 in the morning, and 8-10 in the evening. Whenever I feel overloaded with information, I get up from my chair, and I stretch, or go to the kitchen and have a snack. I cannot force myself to read anymore whenever I feel sleepy or unfocused because it does not help me in retaining information in the future.

    As a male uni student, I can say this is the most amazing and enlightening course I have observed! I would and will recommend that everyone in my position in life, especially students, should watch these video classes. FYI including my actual uni classes. I would become a patriot immediately unfortunately, I have fallen victim to a few of the psychological traps you so beautify uncover and that has landed me in the unadmired broke student population! But not to worry, after your classes, i shall rise above the ground, dust myself off these bad habits, and set course to return baring fruits as a token of my appreciation, Asante sana (Swahili btw).

    I just finished "The Power of Habit." I have to say Duhigg makes a lot of sense. I'm using this to quit smoking, and for the first time I asked myself, "Why do I smoke?" I came up with a few rewards like socializing, relaxing, getting to step outside and getting away from my work area. Sometimes, however, I don't know what the reward is. I just fire up a cigarette for no real reason. I'm not fitting for nicotine or wanting to socialize or relax. So the first part of my plan for the last three days or so has been to think before I light up. Sometimes chewing gum or playing with my fidget spinner takes its place. Thanks for your video and thanks for telling me about this excellent book.

    I'm on the edge of alcoholism and the brain is really scary. Because of a habbit, no matter how much you know you want to get rid if a bad habbit, your brain will try to convince you to still do it. And in the end, your brain will convince you that it's not so bad as it really is. It's a hard battle against yourself.

    I greatly appreciate and admire your dedication and your efforts to what you put out here for us to see. This guy is a prime example that, if we choose to take life into our own hands, see life as it is and look beyond negativity and our bad thinking and reasoning (which is often thanks to evolution and the environments we live in, no less) and choose to be proactive, we can fill the gaps we might see and feel in ourselves. It is up to each and every individual watching this, and generally being interested in self-improvement, as well as buildung a better environment around them, to take the time and at the very least consider, truthfully, realistically and with empathy, what kind of life we all want to live and what we can actively do to improve it. We're all human individuals biologically capable of achieving greatness. Circumstances may seem to limit us, but at the end of the day, we are all beings with consciousness. Again, it's up to each and every one of us. Thank you for your great service to us Improvement Pill, have a positive habit on me will ya? :P
