Something I forgot to mention in the video: You can get a dopamine boost from doing healthy things too, like playing sports, meditation, eating the right foods, being generous…
On the other hand: is discomfort really the purpose of life? Lots of discomfort will eventually lead to unhappiness without a clear goal. Reaching succes is temporarily, the path to succes is finite.
Track used at the end?
Thank you! I love ur videos!
Why u make so much amazing videos
i have the opposite problem. Good habits make be feel bad.
I noticed the curious yellow dog always present in your drawings.. What do u name the yellow dog?
You: “If we no bad habits are bad for us why do we continue to do them?”
Me: Because…. demons.

This is my most favourite video for now in YouTube … 👏 👍
I will watch this again and again 😊
I can't buy that comfort is 100% illusion and no real comfort exists. When my wife and I are holding each other, saying how much we love each other, and how happy we are to be together……that isn't comfort? That isn't real? I beg to differ.
A family size box of oreos is a serving. And I'm on acid watching this at 11:21 during the wolf moon
12 years of school never taught me anything like this
"there is no such thing as comfort" dum dum dum —- brilliant……. "no such thing as pain" dum dum dum dum dum

This is profound. Can’t believe I’ve never came across your videos before. Subscribing
I don’t longer get herpes outbreak after using doctorojie1@yahoo.com herbal supplement 🇺🇸🇺🇸🤍🤍❤️❤️🤍
Id rather have a life of wicked ups and downs then a monotone life of always wondering what would it be like if… For those here who are flatliners in life just existing and doing what the world tells you, enjoy your reality TV while us real lifers experience life in its absolute quality. (Mic drop).
You're pretty good!
That’s why I always strive in discomfort 😮
Bad habits won't feel so good if you think long-term.
You can be comfortable now or you can be comfortable later. Comfort is not the enemy, ignorance is.
Comfort is not just an idea, I know when I'm comfortable and when I'm not.
Sorry i dont understand the last sentence
"U choose what you want to base yours on"
What Yours refer to??
Very good,,,
Bad eating and inactivity are WAY MORE RESPONSIBLE than 16.6% of disease. The CDC is an absolutely corrupt organization and should never be cited as an authority, except on how to suck Matrix c*ck.
“Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Heb. 11:25; Jam. 1:15
In short keep busy
I don't quite understand your telling me you can't have a good life if you do all them bad things. You need to understand it's not how long you live it's how good you live. And living like that is very good I think we forget what happiness is
So doing things you do not enjoy make your life better somehow. I'm 52 years old and I'm telling you right now you better start doing things that you want to do stop planning for the future and live life for the moment for that's all you have my child
Mental maintenance is owning the question!
Mental negligence is owning the answer!
E plurbus unim ?? 🙄 Uh oh we can understand this animal,, Can we just pretend otherwise ?
No thanks, I’m gonna stick to my vices
Wow this channel literally ripped everything about asap science except the entertaining part.
From last 2 years, I got myself into a habit of going to long brisk walk every day around the sunset. ( In small town at my parents house) That was the best time in whole day. And I was so much addicted to that walk. It helped me to live in the present, calm and relaxed. Unfortunately I moved to another (metro) city where there's no quiet place and no woods. And I don't get the same feeling here. That makes me so so sad. Can anyone help or suggest

Because good habit gives benefit LATER, but bad habit gives pleasure NOW.
i like this video 🙂
If you practice uncomfortable things, it becomes comfortable, and a lot of dopamine happen.
Speaking about bad habits and to keep with the theme, I've posted a video on my channel in which I ask myself the following question : Biting your Nails until they Bleed : What is it REALLY like ?!
No longer TikTok because that poison mind then pornos. No Facebook no twitter and no TikTok.
