शैडोइंग अभ्यास: Every stage of self improvement explained - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

Here is every stage of self-improvement explained.

The first stage is the Doomer era.

At this stage, you basically haven't started self-improvement.

You do virtually nothing healthy.

Your life revolves around short-term pleasure-seeking.

And maybe that wouldn't be so bad if you were enjoying yourself.

But for most people living the drifter lifestyle, they don't like themselves.

They don't want to be stuck in that situation.

They're just sedating themselves with pleasure.

hoping that one day they will have a different brain,

hoping that one day they will feel differently.

They'll kind of have an aha moment that will propel them out of that degeneracy.

But the problem is when you do degenerate things,

your subconscious tells you that you are a degenerate.

And when you believe that you're a degenerate,

your confidence in yourself and your ability to work yourself out of it decreases.

It's a total catch-22, entirely fueled by a feeling of self-loathing.

Stage two is the eff it stage.

This is where the sedation starts to wear off,

and there's a little bit of a clearance in the fog.

Stage two is basically the point where people say, yeah, I've had enough.

Life at the bottom sucks a little bit too much.

Eff it.

I'm just going to start changing things in my immediate vicinity.

So they do all the dishes.

They put on their running shoes and go for a run.

They escape their house.

They're not thinking.

They flipped a switch in their brain and they say,

I don't really care if I have a plan or not.

I'm tired of thinking that I need one.

I'm tired of my excuses.

I'm tired of the life that I've been living.

And out of pure frustration,

they start to make some progress.

They start to do things that are good for them and stop doing things that are bad for them.

In fact, they're so strict with it purely because they're disgusted by anything that's bad for them.

This stage usually lasts like a day.

Then you go to sleep,

you wake up in the morning,

and you're triggered by all of the things that you didn't change.

You slip back into old habits.

This is what happens to people in stage two almost all the time.

They just go back to stage one.

But stage two can, and often does, lead to stage three.

And stage three is the yo-yo era.

The yo-yo era happens when you had a little bit of foresight back in stage two.

You had a glimpse of a vision,

a glimpse of a goal that you wanted to aspire to,

in your 24 hours of productivity,

you actually took steps to remove environmental triggers,

which kind of set the stage for a new era.

You start chaining days together where you're doing what's good for you and you notice that it actually starts to feel good.

You prefer the feeling of being who you are

when you're living a healthier lifestyle and you start to quite like that experience, right?

You're starting to go to the gym every day and you're saying,

damn, I'm getting swole.

I have more energy.

My skin looks healthier.

I'm drinking water instead of pop.

I'm not playing my Xbox at all.

And you're just hoping that this streak lasts as long as it needs to,

to kind of turn into the rest of your life.

But the pressure you put on yourself is astronomical.

You can't afford a bad day.

You can't afford the sweet smell of a Triple O's burger because you're afraid you might like it.

So you're extremely strict with yourself.

The pressure is super high to chain days together.

And when you eventually do slip,

it's like the house of cards comes crumbling down.

And when you come crashing down, you crash hard.

You binge.

You totally relapse into degeneracy again.

Your monkey brain goes, well,

we were starved of this before.

We might as well just ravenously consume this flesh.

And then your logical brain goes, yeah, fair enough.

Like, we'll let you kind of do this.

You'll, you know, have it out,

get it out of your system.

And eventually the feeling of binging feels so terrible

and it makes you feel worse about yourself and you feel so disgusted that you decide,

that's it, I'm going on another streak.

And sometimes that streak is even longer than last time.

Maybe it's even stricter than last time,

but then you come crashing down again and it's frustrating to you because you can never seem to have steady liftoff.

In the yo-yo era, you believe that the streak is everything.

You believe that the amount of days that you pack on top of each other is everything.

In other words, you figure that by doing everything right,

by sprinting as fast as possible towards the life that you want to live, you'll stop tripping.

The fourth stage of self-improvement is the optimization era.

The optimization era is where you start to become a little introspective.

You start to get frustrated that you're yo-yoing in life so much,

and clearly white-knuckle tactics aren't doing it for you.

This is where people start to go inwards.

They start doing inner work.

Maybe they go to therapy.

Maybe they start watching David Goggins videos, watching podcasts.

Maybe they're watching this video right now.

100

They're trying to educate themselves on their inner systems,

101

their motivation cycles to try to figure out how the heck do I stop yo-yoing between degeneracy and self-improvement?

102

How do I just enter into my new life where I don't have to worry about the frustration

103

and the effort and the teeth pulling it takes to be a good person.

104

And by educating yourself, things start to be a little bit easier.

105

Maybe you're learning things like, oh, positive affirmations.

106

Maybe you're learning that, oh,

107

if I identify as a healthy person,

108

I will be a healthy person.

109

Maybe you watched Andrew Huberman and you eat fish oils now.

110

And this helps you move through life in a more lubricated way.

111

You started chipping away at your drop shipping empire.

112

I don't want to on these things.

113

Like I do so many of these things.

114

I eat fish oils.

115

Now that my herniated disc is on the up and up,

116

I'm going to the gym every day.

117

I listen to the occasional podcast.

118

I really enjoy my supplement stack,

119

but doing all these things won't make you enjoy doing these things.

120

Eating a fish oil is not going to motivate you to lead a healthy life

121

and not be a degenerate all the time.

122

It's not like the fish oils are an amoeba in your brain that tells you things,

123

a benevolent amoeba, but they do help.

124

So if you're taking all of these supplements

125

and listening to all this advice and learning

126

and trying to optimize your way into a new life where you have a new identity and you like yourself more,

127

it often works eventually, but it's not the most efficient path to get there.

128

My dog is snoring way too much.

129

Stop that.

130

Are you kidding?

131

It looks like a Bene Gesserit from Dune.

132

Before we get into the next tip,

133

I just want to give a big thank you to HiggsField AI for sponsoring this video.

134

If you make any kind of video or photo content,

135

HiggsField AI is definitely worth knowing about.

136

Basically, it's an AI video platform that gives you access to all the leading generation models in one place,

137

like Kling 3.0, VO 3.1,

138

Nano Banana 2, and more.

139

You pick the model, you pick the style, and you generate.

140

No bouncing between five different apps,

141

trying to figure out which chats you were talking in.

142

It's streamlined and it's organized.

143

So I actually used Higgs Field for two shots in this video.

144

Earlier on, it was during the daydream sequence where I'm imagining myself in these different wild locations.

145

So for situations like this and whatever situation you want to use generative AI for,

146

Higgs Field AI is by far the easiest and most streamlined way to do just that.

147

The standout tool for me is Cinema Studio 2.5.

148

It's a full filmmaking pipeline inside the browser.

149

You start with a text prompt to generate your base image,

150

set up to three consistent characters,

151

pick a genre, action, horror,

152

comedy, whatever, and it influences the pacing and camera behavior automatically.

153

You get multi-shot sequences up to six shots with start and end frame control,

154

built-in color grading, and 3D scene access where you can move through the environment spatially.

155

It's a free AI video generator to start with,

156

and it's one of the cheapest AI platforms out there for what you get.

157

Go ahead and give it a try yourself using the link in the description.

158

It's a ton of fun.

159

And thanks again to Higgs Field AI for sponsoring this video.

160

Stage five, the influencer era.

161

Now, this is an optional side quest that I see a lot of people go on.

162

And what happens is people,

163

since they've been consistent and it seems like their degenerate life is in the rearview mirror,

164

they start to really attach their identity to their victories.

165

But it's something that they express outwardly.

166

They want people to know that they've made it.

167

Maybe they're 35 pounds down and have made an Instagram slash fitness account documenting their journeys

168

and they sell a course now

169

and they want to help people do what they did and make a little bit of money in the process.

170

A lot of these instincts come from a very good place.

171

I think it's It's very healthy to bring people along to your journey,

172

to show them what you did and how they can do the exact same thing.

173

But the drive to do this wasn't purely out of benevolence.

174

It was also out of existential security.

175

They hoped that by outwardly expressing to the world that they are a successful person,

176

they might also convince themselves in the process.

177

They're still trying to achieve this existence where pain doesn't happen anymore.

178

There's no such thing as toil.

179

I don't know where this idea necessarily comes from,

180

but it's a fairly modern idea.

181

It's definitely not stoicism.

182

It's not Christianity.

183

It's almost like a pseudo-epicureanism.

184

But people seem to think that they can get to a place where they no longer have to experience their own shadow,

185

where they don't have bad days,

186

where they don't have weeks or months where they feel like s*.

187

They want to be seen as somebody who has their s* together through and through,

188

100% of the time, and they are superior.

189

But the fundamental problem with this is that it's utterly exhausting.

190

It's not real.

191

It's not a accurate reflection of who you are and what you're for.

192

Instagram culture sells you on this idea that this type of person exists because you visit their Instagram profile,

193

which is a carefully curated highlight reel of absolutely crushing it,

194

just a superior lifestyle in every single way compared to yours.

195

And you're trying desperately to get there.

196

So you make an Instagram account trying to prove that you're there,

197

even just a little bit.

198

Then you're dependent on other people telling you that you're worth something in order to feel like you are.

199

You're definitely not that degenerate that you were.

200

You're not the person who likes the taste of french fries.

201

You're beyond that.

202

That's pathetic.

203

And you feel offended and you get threatened when people don't really care or they show indifference or they don't like you.

204

It's a desperate, frivolous existence,

205

which often leads people to stage six, the recalibration.

206

If you're lucky, you get to the recalibration era,

207

and often it feels like a failure.

208

So the recalibration stage is where you get so exhausted and burnt out by trying to maintain appearances,

209

maintain this outward expression of perfection,

210

that you kind of just find yourself cheating a bit.

211

You kind of just start doing what you want, right?

212

If you want to eat a burger,

213

you go buy a burger and you eat it.

214

If you want to play some video games with your brothers,

215

you do it because you find it fun.

216

And then you also go to the gym because you've learned to like that as well.

217

For the very first time,

218

you are doing both unhealthy and healthy things, but it feels different.

219

You're noticing that when you do an unhealthy thing that's not particularly good for you,

220

you didn't want to do it too much because you're like,

221

eh, no, it actually doesn't really feel that good.

222

And you find yourself doing healthy things because you want to do that.

223

It's because you've learned on your journey to step six that this thing feels good and it feels good to feel good.

224

And you're not doing it because you feel like you have to,

225

because you have to prove to yourself that you're not a degenerate anymore.

226

You've learned through your self-improvement journey that,

227

oh, it feels good to feel good.

228

And if you do too much of a bad thing,

229

it doesn't feel so good.

230

This is the stage where everything starts to make sense.

231

It's a stage where very few people actually get to.

232

Sometimes they do get to it and it comes later in life,

233

in their 50s, in their 60s,

234

where they're like, I just kind of,

235

I do what I want to do.

236

I don't really care what other people think.

237

I don't care about external markers of success.

238

I do what I want because I think it's fun and I want to lead this kind of life.

239

I'm being who I want to be,

240

which flows naturally into the final stage,

241

which is the real stage.

242

The real stage is where your ego starts to melt away.

243

You start opening up to the people around you.

244

You start having a lightness to your actions and your thoughts.

245

You're not as afraid of what people might think about what you say.

246

You just say what you mean and you mean what you say.

247

You don't really care about how you're coming across.

248

There's less calculation.

249

You've stopped running and sprinting away from your flaws.

250

And you're not embracing your flaws either.

251

You're just aware of them and you're working with what you got.

252

This is the stage where you realize that we're all just a bit degenerate.

253

So the best you can do is generate a positive vision as to where you want to go

254

and what you want to do and who you want to be and realize that that's what you want.

255

You're aware you're never going to hit that perfection and there's no pressure to.

256

You just know there's a direction and every step in that direction feels good.

257

It generates its own motivation, right?

258

Does that make sense?

259

Like I always bring it back to the gym, right?

260

Because it's always the easiest example.

261

It's a powerful motivator to hate how you look in the mirror.

262

This is often the very fuel you need to get started,

263

to just run in the opposite direction.

264

But that's not the energy that gets most people to stay in the gym for the rest of their life.

265

The energy is simply, I like how I feel when I go to the gym.

266

There's no grand mystery.

267

There's no hatred.

268

There's no self-loathing.

269

You're just simply doing what you want.

270

And I feel like that's what it comes down to on how to stop doing things that are bad for you.

271

You know, how to lead a healthier life is all of your failures,

272

all of your yo-yoing is data, right?

273

And if you start treating it more like data, maybe you'll learn something.

274

You don't have to hate yourself or you don't have to do anything, right?

275

You have free will.

276

You can do whatever you want.

277

But if you want to change,

278

there's probably an internal reason why you want to change.

279

Probably because it doesn't really feel good to do bad things.

280

And I feel like a lot of our parents had this mindset.

281

Like when you were a kid,

282

you couldn't believe why your dad didn't want a fourth Oreo or a fifth Oreo.

283

You're like, it's an Oreo.

284

Like what's wrong with you?

285

And he'll just say, no, I'm okay.

286

That's my dad anyways.

287

And as a kid, I'd be like, it's an Oreo.

288

But if you're properly matured and you're an adult,

289

you start realizing that, oh,

290

when I eat 13 Oreos,

291

I don't feel so good.

292

I prefer how I feel when I don't do that.

293

Because you realize whatever pain is there in that decision goes away pretty much immediately.

294

And then you're just vibing at a higher frequency where you like being who you are more.

295

A lot of people freak out when they really don't need to.

296

They can just be sitting there,

297

chilling, having a great day,

298

and then they get an urge to do something that they view as degenerate.

299

And they immediately freak out.

300

They say, oh, see, I knew it.

301

I knew you were still a degenerate.

302

But it's like, just calm down.

303

Calm down.

304

You don't need to form any kind of crazy conspiracy on yourself.

305

Just take a deep breath and just say, I've been expecting this.

306

This is the energy of the realist,

307

the final stage of self-improvement.

308

You saw it coming.

309

You know you're not perfect.

310

You know you have degenerative tendencies,

311

but it's just data coming in.

312

You don't have to freak out has nothing to do with your identity.

313

It's not proof that you haven't become a perfect person yet because you know that's just not going to happen.

314

But if you wish to improve upon the past,

315

you can view it as data

316

and just evaluate how you felt the last time you did that and dive into it calmly.

317

And then you can confidently,

318

after consideration, do the option that you want to do.
