    Figuring out the healthy balance of embracing your sexuality and having self control is tricky. I think a huge part of the frustration is MKUltra trauma based mind control on the note of shame in particular.

    I'm so sorry you had a bad day, John. They are never fun while you're having them. Please know what I'm about to say doesn't DISCOUNT your grief or frustration, but what I have learned is that bad days make the good days all that sweeter, if that makes sense? :) What has also helped me is when I go through this, I think some crazy scenarios like, "Okay... what if this morning, I got a call saying that a person I love was killed?" or "What I woke up and found I had lost my sight?" When I put those things in perspective, then the bad days seem to be softened. Just some unsolicited advice. I hope your week is a better one! :)

You make it seem like you have no possibility for change in the slightest. Is your life really not in your control at all?

    We agree on the social media side. And I believe you misunderstand me to some degree. It's not that being horny or having a high sex drive is bad, it's that it can become an unhealthy obsession for some. It was for me in the past and it was not the path to happiness either. There's nothing wrong with having a good balance, and that's more of what I'm trying to get across, rather than an obsessive sexualizing of everything.

And I'm like wtf, I only liked a few pics 5-10. And I did an experiment of how to stop being suggested that content and it took me clicking "Not Interested" over 100x plus liking other things (games, tech, anime) before it stopped showing me that smut. Like damn, the app will support in letting you destroy yourself if you let it. This was over the span of 1 day btw so don't worry, but man these apps can be destructive to your psyche.

    Thanks for the comment. For your questions: I'd recommend having either a physical notebook or a notebook app on your phone. That way you can organize and prioritize the goals you have for specific areas of life, and you can track them easier. I've been thinking about doing a video on this, so if that interests you, let me know. It's also a big part of not feeling overwhelmed. I've found if I get super specific with my priorities, I know what needs to be done immediately. Don't be vague when writing out goals or tasks, get into the details. When you start, this will take awhile. As you get more and more used to this type of organization, everything flows more quickly. I've talked about this briefly in another video, but I will do some deep breathing exercises that help me to stay focused on what is in front of me. That way my mind's not off worrying about things that might go wrong with my plans. I hope you find this helpful, let me know if you need anything else.

    I think if I just did 100 calf raises every day for 6 months there would have been a bit more growth, but overall you're right. Our bodies adapt to the stress we put it under.

    Yes, the goal wasn't to make my calves stronger, but I did notice a strength gain. When I did weighted calf raises (which were part of my normal workout routine) the weight felt comparatively light after the first week or so of this challenge. As for endurance, my calves could definitely do more in terms of volume and not feel sore after the challenge.

    🙌 This video is such an inspiring journey of how even a small creator can make a meaningful impact through KZread. The insights you shared about finding your niche, planning content, and learning from other creators are incredibly valuable. One important question I have is: What advice would you give to new creators who are struggling to grow their audience and maintain consistency in posting new content? Any tips on overcoming the challenges of unpredictable view counts and staying motivated during the ups and downs?

  • @ClearDiscussion
    @ClearDiscussion2 ай бұрын

    Good questions, for the first regarding posting consistency: I'm not super consistent with my posting, in fact it's the one thing that I wish I was significantly better about. The best advice I'd give is set up a plan that you can reach realistically. So if you think you can make a video that you're pleased with every 2 weeks, then make that your initial goal. Post a video that reaches the standards you have for yourself every two weeks, and do that for a few months to build momentum. Once you've gotten a rhythm down of that, maybe go for 1 video a week sometimes, and just continue from there. I'm not sure what the best video schedule is, and I definitely need to improve on mine as well. Regarding struggling with growth: Honestly I feel that I got lucky with a couple of my videos. I made them and posted them and, for whatever reason, they did very well. Maybe it was a mixture of the timing, the title and idea, and some luck. (Personally, I think a lot of it was luck) I've also made a few videos that were heavily influenced by videos I had watched myself. Ideas that stuck with me and are somewhat repetitive if you watch the same videos as me. If an idea sticks and, for some reason it seems to be popular right now, then I'm probably going to make a video on it. I try to give everything in my own words and not be too derivative of others. I think I do that well. Regarding unpredictable view counts: it sucks. I used to be very bothered by one video doing well and another doing poorly. For a long time, I didn't understand why this was happening. Fortunately, I feel like I slowly understood my content more and how it would do in regards to KZread as a whole. When I post a video now, I have guessed if it will do well or not (according to my standards of what that is) successfully for the last 5-6 videos. I think time and experience plays the biggest factors into this. You figure out things about yourself and your content and you start to notice tendencies of KZread as well. That might not be a very useful answer but it's as honest a one as I can give. Regarding staying motivated: Sometimes I'm not. I have a whole life going on besides what you see with KZread. Some days I feel very motivated to work on videos and I feel energized by it. Some days it is work. Having a minimum floor to hit, regarding posting of videos, is important. For me, the minimum floor is a video every 2 weeks AT LEAST. My goal is to always do more, but if I'm very unmotivated, I still have to get that video up before 2 weeks time. That way, I'm making sure that I'm staying active on KZread and focusing on growing, even if I'm not hyped that day. I hope that answered your questions, let me know if you need anything else.

    Nice, i decided to do a calf journey too. Even though i had small calves at the start. I still did calf raises regardless. I also knew i had calf genetics because i’m 5’7 (short) and i notice I have a long gastrocnemius. So i started my calf journey from November 2022 to May 2024. The whole time i was consistent, 3-4 days of leg stimulation every week. Left was 15, right calf was 15.5 inches. My calves are close to the size of my thighs now. I’m pretty small and my thighs measures at 26 inches. My calves are 19.3 inches as i type this!! It’s not much compared to bigger or overweight people. But the difference in size is from over a year ago is massive. 19 inch calves looks very nice aesthetically. Calves take a lot of dedication.

    @ClearDiscussion KZread seems to not allow me to reply to any comments, so to answer your last question, I'll just add it here as a new comment... Please remove if you'd like. 🙂 I was a bit overzealous and decided to do them twice a day: Once in the morning as well as once in the evening. It worked out perfectly, because I was working 12-hour shifts and lived a little over 5km from work. In the mornings, I would do the walk in under an hour (3.1 miles/hour) and in the evenings, I would slow-pace it back home at about an hour and half. The mornings were brutal as it would hurt a lot -especially on the up-hills and down-hills -because I kept the high pace throughout for the entire 5km. I worked 6 days on and 3 days off. I did this for exactly 6 months in 2003 from January to June. (Then the rainy season started and I drove to work and back.) From then on, I would just walk to town (about 546 yards) once a week, until I got injured 15 years ago. That's it. After the hernia operations, it was just normal walking around at home and maybe walk to town once a month. I went back to gym 6 months ago. I just updated my profile pic of what my calves looked like before I got back into it (being practically completely dormant for 15 years). Will update pics of what my legs look like now soon. I train quads, glutes and hamstrings in gym, but never calves -and as I said, they lasted me over 20 years from just 6 months. Edit: I should note that I did do 30km (18.6 mile) military marches a few years before this and while they did give my calves some form, they never really shaped them. I think mainly, because it was not very often and also because we did allow ourselves to rest here and there. When I'd do the 5km walks, it would be stiff pace, not letting up or resting even when it burned like a mother-father. lol

Instead, I should walk 5km (about 3 miles) -in under an hour, on a road that has declines and inclines. He emphasized that it should be an actual road and not a treadmill. I did this for 6 months 21 years ago and my calves grew incredibly huge and well shaped. About 15 years ago, I got 2 successive hernia injuries and completely stopped working out. My calves were the only things remaining from my bodybuilding days. I started back up about 6 months ago, and from the get-go my calves (which I haven't trained in 21 years) are still at the level of a lot of the pro builders in my gym. After 6 months of walking again now, my calves are now the best calves in my entire region. (My waist and the rest of my body could be best described as dad bod though.)

    How often were you going on these walks? I've done long marches in the past and not noticed a massive difference.

    ​@@ClearDiscussion I was a bit overzealous and decided to do them twice a day: Once in the morning as well as once in the evening. It worked out perfectly, because I was working 12-hour shifts and lived a little over 5km from work. In the mornings, I would do the walk in under an hour (3.1 miles/hour) and in the evenings, I would slow-pace it back home at about an hour and half. The mornings were brutal as it would hurt a lot -especially on the up-hills and down-hills -because I kept the high pace throughout for the entire 5km. 😅 I worked 6 days on and 3 days off. I did this for exactly 6 months in 2003 from January to June. (Then the rainy season started and I drove to work and back.) From then on, I would just walk to town (about 546 yards) once a week, until I got injured 15 years ago. That's it. After the hernia operations, it was just normal walking around at home and maybe walk to town once a month. I went back to gym 6 months ago. I just updated my profile pic of what my calves looked like before I got back into it (being practically completely dormant for 15 years). Will update pics of what my legs look like now soon. I train quads, glutes and hamstrings in gym, but never calves -and as I said, they lasted me over 20 years from just 6 months. Edit: I should note that I did do 30km (18.6 mile) military marches a few years before this and while they did give my calves some form, they never really shaped them. I think mainly, because it was not very often and also because we did allow ourselves to rest here and there. When I'd do the 5km walks, it would be stiff pace, not letting up or resting even when it burned like a mother-father. lol

    Awesome, thanks for the in-depth breakdown. I might look to add something like this if I can work it around my schedule.

    A better way to get big calves is to climb a ladder then stand towards the top for 2-3 minutes then repeat 4-5 times or go for a 1 mile walk with a 40 lbs weighted vest 2 times per week.

    I used to do ruck marches fairly often when I was in the army, but I never had much calf gains with it. Biggest change I noticed, besides this month challenge, was doing weighted calf raises 4-5 times a week when I was on a more strength-based workout program.

    @@ClearDiscussion It works a lot better if you are 250+ pounds. That's why fat guys have huge calves. If you weigh like 180 and use 40 lbs vest you won't get much. Go up and down a ladder for a while. I used a ladder for like 2 hours when I installed LED lights around ceiling of my bedroom. My calves were wrecked for 3-4 days.

    If you had made them single leg calf raises, the results would have been much better! Our calves are endurance machines, over a long enough distance we can outrun almost every other species, double leg calf raises aren't enough for this muscle. But if you lift a leg up and double the weight, now you're talking. Single leg calf ladder sets progressing by 10-20 everyday...boom.

    running is pretty hard on the joints and ligaments in your legs. and body builders are pretty heavy mostly so that is probably why they wont run.

    @Tarantas, he didn't say running is bad, he said it's hard on joints and ligaments. Which is true if you overdue it (as with many things). Most bodybuilders don't run as well, so not sure what point you're making regarding this.
