You don’t break bad habits by forcing yourself to be more disciplined. You break them by redesigning your environment, rewiring your triggers, and forgetting the habit ever existed. In this video, you’ll learn how to stop falling back into your worst routines—not by fighting them, but by replacing them with something better. If you’ve ever hated yourself after relapsing, this is your blueprint to permanent change.

00:00Here's exactly how to stop falling back into your bad habits every month.

00:04And no, I'm not going to tell you to get obsessed with discipline to get rid of your bad habits,

00:08because you'll fall back into it after some days or weeks if you rely on discipline alone.

00:13But what I'm going to tell you right now will help you create a new version of yourself permanently,

00:18one that doesn't slip back into those old routines.

00:20First things first, we've all been told to act tough and act like nothing can harm us.

00:25But human beings don't function like that.

00:26We always get carried away by emotions, no matter how hard we try to control them.

00:31What I'm going to show you will make that bad habit feel like it's not even part of your identity anymore.

00:36Let's start here. Stop relying on willpower.

00:39If you think you won't use your phone while studying, even though it's right there on the desk,

00:43you already know what happens next.

00:45You end up scrolling again.

00:46There's nothing worse than watching hours disappear and hating yourself after, only to repeat it the next day.

00:52And the truth is, your brain loves this cycle.

00:54When you go to the same places, use the same objects, see the same triggers, your brain associates them with the habit.

01:01Like picking up your phone and instinctively checking Instagram, even when you meant to do something productive.

01:07So what's the fix?

01:08Start with your environment.

01:09If you start smoking with your friends and then stop seeing those friends, you might just stop smoking.

01:14Like, my friend stopped smoking when he moved to another country and became a loner because he couldn't find his old friends.

01:21Well, you don't have to leave your country, just don't hang out with them all the time.

01:25It might sound harsh, but if that habit is slowly ruining your life, this is what doing it for yourself looks like.

01:31Now, here's the second shift most people miss.

01:33Handling the mental urges.

01:35You can remove temptations from your space, but what about the random urges you get in the middle of a productive day?

01:40The kind that doesn't let you focus until you give in?

01:42If you keep telling yourself, I won't jerk off all day, guess what you're going to end up doing when you're alone?

01:49It's simple.

01:50We act on the things we keep thinking about.

01:52But in reality, human beings don't crave the things they forget.

01:56You know that feeling when you're so deep in work, you forget to check your phone for hours?

02:00That mental state is possible.

02:01It's not luck.

02:03It's design.

02:05So here's the shift.

02:06Grab a pen and paper.

02:07Sit with yourself for one solid hour.

02:09No phone, no distraction.

02:11Write out every reason you struggle, every moment you relapse.

02:15Understand it so deeply that after that hour, you stop obsessing over it.

02:19That's the last time you overthink the habit you're trying to leave.

02:22What helped me most was replacing my bad habits with something similar, but better.

02:27For example, I swapped watching Netflix for video editing.

02:30I set a clear goal and reminded myself every day, I've got better things to build, just like this channel.

02:36I added creativity to my life, because creativity is what keeps the brain alive.

02:42If you don't think you're the creative type, this next video will show you how to unlock it anyway.

02:46Even if you don't feel creative, you still need it in your life.

02:50If you're unsure where to start, this video will walk you through it.
