"How to become more rational and level headead" *What we espected: Read those books, thing this cases thru, realize that emotions are not controlling you *What we get: EAT THE DAMN BREAKFAST
I just can't eat breakfast when I first get up. I'm up between 6 and 7:30 every day and I usually have a glass of juice. However, by 9, I start getting the growlies and that's when I start on a big breakfast. I'm retired so I can do that but even when I was working, I'd have my big meal at morning break instead of at noon. It's 9:43, right now and I just finished 2 eggs, over easy, bacon, a piece of toast, home made hash browns, another glass of juice and I feel great. Gonna sit outside, under the big maple and do some reading with a cup of tea. Looks like it's going to be a wonderful day.
@@mathuraphael9196 But that's not what Peterson said was it. He talked about a woman who complained about being tired all the time. The person had a problem. Why would she see a professional when she felt fine? Your comment makes no sense.
I almost practically never eat breakfast. My body has long ago used to it that I'll eat earliest 4PM. It has no effect on my mental condition. I don't feel powerful hunger practically ever if I don't fast a long time. My body has learned to use the fat reserves which I have. This being said I'll eat fatty and protein heavy foods combined with vegetables unlike the women in the story. I would probably go insane with only rice.
I tell my students, how to enter my lecture: Have slept long and well, Eat well, drink water. If you‘re hungry, thirsty or tired, you can work on this while I talk. Even napping is ok. But don‘t fiddle with your non-smart-phone. If you‘re in the mood, interrupt me! Disturb if you‘re bored!
I did lecture for the last 5 years in Emden. Not sure, what I‘ll do next. This is part of the daily „opener“. Sometimes I focus health, sometimes mental health or resilience, how to deal with rejection or bad payment, long term and short term aspects. The most important thing: Listen to you own thoughts, respect those and follow your misleading own Ideas into the dead end they guide you in. Then they will leave. That makes space free in your head for the great ideas of science and humanity. One word on self esteem: A student who works a little bit every day (after establishing his rhythm for that) produces success after success. That sums up to self esteem.
@@rupiahman Make a todo list every day before you start. Sort it, the most important on top. Do that first and finish it. Then go back to the list, make a check-sign there, then do the next point. Every evening look at your checked items, relax and do s9mething you love.
Literally was me in a nutshell when I use to vape, the high amount of nicotine would sedate me, suppress my appetite and make me anxious. I could barely force my self to eat and when I did, it was gas station food. Luckily my wife finally moved in after she finished school and helped me quit as well as eat healthy together. I know I was going down a dark path had she not, I was getting depressed but couldn’t figure out why.
Here's quick bullet point summary 1) See if you are sick 2) Wake up at same time. Fix sleep schedule 3) Eat high protein breakfast in the morning(no sugar) 4) SSRI/Anti-dipressants 5) Do Jordan's future authoring program (I've seen good reviews of this one but haven't took it yet. Around $20) 6) See a therapist 7) make a damn schedule (from another video of jp)
His advice on nutrition is spot on!! Especially the high protein and fat breakfast! They go into the production of all the neurotransmitters that will be needed for day to day functioning.
Nope, breakfast moves the bloodflow towards your stomach and intestines, that is why people feel drowsy during the morning. Intermittent fasting (not eating until 3pm) keeps me focused and productive. After eating I just want to nap.
@@nenadmilovanovic5271 have you considered that the cause of your feeling sleepy might be related to what you eat and the kind of carbohydrates (if you take them) you take in the morning? I'm telling you this because as an italian i usually had biscuits (sugar) and tea for breakfast and ate pasta for lunch almost everyday and then literally drop dead asleep half an hour later, then when i switched to wholemeal pasta and bread and cereals it made a huge difference for me
@@nenadmilovanovic5271 Breakfast means the first meal of the day. Doesn't matter at which do you take it. Although, intermittent fasting should be an essential practice for each and every individual.

I can attest from experience that having a well balanced diet with all the necessary nutrients has huge emotional benefits. So many of us are well-fed yet mal-nourished. The Standard American Diet is full of calories yet lacking so many of the nutrients our body NEEDS to function properly, including our brains, which of course effects our moods, thinking ability, etc. etc...
Lol not true, especially for women. That's horrible advice. A moderately low-fat, vegan diet is possibly the best diet one can follow. It is aligned with our physiological and biological needs. Consuming a high fat diet as a woman especially can cause a plethora of hormonal problems, by increasing the amount of estrogen that is produced in a female's body. This can cause painful menstrual cycles, severe PMS symptoms and can even result in disease, especially if there is a lack of fiber in one's diet. Peterson does not seem to be aware of how dangerous his advice is for the long-run. Many naïve people are going to listen to his flawed words and go on with his ideas, and actually see that they feel better. However, the only reason why they actually might feel better is because fat is higher in calories per gram than carbs, which means that those people will actually get the caloric density that they need, rather than when they ate NOTHING at all for breakfast or a 100 calorie bowl of oats. Fat and protein are indeed essential macro-nutrients, but carbs are much more important to the human body as every single cell in our body runs on carbohydrates.
@@alissa2222 You dont increase your production of estrogen by eating fat. You increase the aromatization by having a larger amount of adipose tissue but stating that eating fat is equal to a higher amount of adipose tissue is just flat out wrong
@@ecclesiastesThreeVerseSeven I’ve been doing that shift for 4 years now. I’ve done 4 10’s on night shift on my previous job before that so I’m used to it.
Worked that shift for years. Although I couldn't eat when I first got up, I'd take a lunch box, filled with good food, to work everyday and I'd eat all of it. I'd be starving come first break sometime between 9 and 10 (I worked 7 to 7). I'd have a good meal when I got home whether it be 7 in the morning or at night. On my days off, I'd make a big pot of homemade soups, stews, pasta sauces or potato or pasta salads, to last me through the days that I worked. You gotta eat, especially when you're forced into working those types of shifts.
I was pretty much tired after every day of work for the past 2 years. I looked at what I was eating in the morning at the time basically porridge, bread and fruits. I ate big lunch filled with protein in the middle of the work day, but still after 4 hours I was getting really sleepy every time. I was quite frustrated towards everything that was going on back in the home that time. Then I read somewhere that you should eat very fat based and high protein food in the morning and that "should" fix my problem of being tired after each work day. I tried it for a month. I started eating every day piece of Rye bread and an fried egg. I've been doing this for the past 2 years now from that point onward and it has totally changed my energy levels. Other total change I made is that I eat every 4 hours even when Im not hungry. I have to admit that changing the breakfast type has really helped me a lot in other ways as well. Please go try it!
This is elementary basic knowledgde. However it is super important and can often be overlooked by certain individuals (i was like this myself), but at the same time i wasnt totally unaware of what it did to my psyche either. Super important, guys food = fuel. We need it to be sane.
Agree with everything he said i had been through this situation I stopped eating food in the morning for 2 weeks that 2 week was the most horrible time i had i vomited several times etc After that i tried to get up at 7 and have breakfast Then i was feeling better
Could also be one several different things, for myself it was a diagnosis of sleep apnea contributing to major depressive disorder. It also can help to get regular exercise for me walking works well get out in the sunshine I just to make it part of my schedule.
Get up at the same time High protein, high fat breakfast Shower the coldest your shower can get (including some brief breath work) Complete game changer for me Took me about a year to establish this habbit, but boy do I feel better. Now the real killer is, deep down I'm lost. SSRI's might be the solution. I can totally relate to what he is telling about depressed people: Everything in my life is good, except me.
I really can't even put into proper words how much I love and appreciate Jordan Peterson. I'm a 24 yr old male and sometimes it seems like the only light i have in my life besides my instant family is JP......I truly wish him the best.
I actually experienced this, when I was constantly vaping, the high amounts of nicotine would suppress my appetite. I became an asshole. I ended up going to nicotine pouches and my wife finally moved in and so I had no choice but to eat her breakfast lunch and dinner, and my mood improved 10 fold.
Another tip is to know how to apply the concept of being impartial and objectivity. Also ask questions, it's thank to questions that the capacity of reason exist. Therefore being rational.
That's so damn true. I was struggling in the first year's first term at the university and the entire issue was my money wasnt enough to afford god damn 3 meal food daily! Food seems very unseenable but it's god damn important to maintain academic education honestly.
This guy has the sanity of a person who’s been through stuff. 1 year of horrid pain and emotions , I’m now suffering from happiness haha People claim they know themselves until they find out they really don’t know themselves the hard way, once they change their diet and practice other better habits like not getting drunk, they can become more stable, this takes time and struggle
He's right. I have become much more volatile since I decided to lose weight. I wish I had more patience with people but I also don't want to be overweight. I also cant have a steady sleep cycle due to my job
Oh boy. I was doing groundskeeping and living on rice, beans and quinoa. Malnourishment is very real. Even in the west. Sad part is that its mostly intentional and if it isnt, its usually poverty.
I didn't expect this. But, it isn't an unpleasant surprise. It makes sense, I suppose. It's things people have been telling me for several months straight, that I've been ignoring or not bothered to do. Eating, sleeping as a prime example.
Adenosine is released after a large caloric intake. Makes you sleepy, I eat my largest, often only meal of the day before bed, the evening. Fasting is not for everyone but some sort of it may be helpful, at least worth a try. Athletes, before the bike marathon/swimming etc, carbo load at night before bed. In the morning they go in light, no breakfast. It can weigh you done, or feel like it. My b-fasts are typically not massive when I do have them but some do well with the reverse. Fasting is not for everyone but Ive found it prove quite useful. 24hr fasts are now unmindfully done by myself. Look to apex predators, those like tigers and their eating schedules. They wake, they hunt, they kill if so lucky, they eat ravenously, often fall asleep afterwards. Breakfast may be vital to you. Experiment, not wildly but bit by bit to see if it gets better.
Apex predators are evolutionarily equipped to handle erratic eating habits. We're not apex predators like they are as humans are omnivores. We supplement our diets with plant life while they don't so our physiology is different.
honestly this is the type of speech a level headed person would give about level headedness haha. being level headed isn’t a very conscious thing- it’s more about seeing things as they are, rather than reading into them. i like that i’m an emotional person, but i can definitely see the benefits of being level headed and i’m trying to better my mindset.
How do you find someone a partner if you suffer from sosial anxiety and low Self esteem ? I fee i dont go forward with my life. A cannot talk to people especialy girls. And that's messes up
Im not a psychologist but I used to have the same issue. I would say to try and find out what causes your social anxiety and what causes the low self esteem. Once you figure that out you can then implement strategies to deal with it. And once you know how to deal with it and not let it overtake your life, it may help you get the courage to put yourself out there and talk to people. And its something that can help with your relationships cause you’ll know how to deal with it so you won’t let it destroy the relationship and with self esteem it’ll help you to not project them onto your partner.
Read a self help book on cognitive behavioral therapy. The one I read talked about strategies to help with both of those issues. And keep watching Jordan Peterson vids! :)
I'm very similar when my life isn't going the way I want it to. My plan is to put dating aside--loneliness sucks--for now until I get a stable external and meditation is practically my lifestyle. How are you doing Remy?
He promotes SSRI'S irresponsibly. He does not mention if you take them long term how they can cause damage. How toxic they are. How they basically just numb you that you dont really feel anything. Just a straight line of emotion. For example: You wont be able to cry. How they severely alter your nervous system if they taken over years. The pain and major withdrawal symptoms you will go through to come off them. Long term they are an absolute nightmare.
I think that's what his final point was all about. Seek help. The whole "you'll end up jumping off the building" statement was about trying to fix yourself when you need outside help.
@@JackHaveman52No kidding, Sherlock! It would be great to know specifically what kind of help works for trauma--considering this is that kind of video.
@@M3Besh He can't diagnose what to do for trauma on a podcast. Each trauma is different and would require different treatments. So....I stand by what I said. Trauma is too vague. You have to seek professional help to understand the trauma, how it affects you the individual and what the best treatment would be, working together with a therapist. It would be irresponsible of him to tell you how to handle trauma when he has no idea what that trauma is or how it manifests itself. So.....seek help for trauma. It's the only thing that makes sense. Follow the suggestion that Peterson gives.
Dr. Peterson accused me of being in love with my own intellect and life, as though enjoying the vanity of my own work were a moral failing. Its better to take credit for my own work than for someone else's.
@@jmalmighty5433 Theres some truth to that. ive tended to reduce my empathic abilities to day to day interactions and focused on my clarity to see the logical consequences of my actions and act in my own best interests. Some people seem to try to deduce the feelings their actions provoke in others rather than the consequences, which is rooted in the blind desire to be accepted. Its like i would trust a woman who was building her own heaven rather than seeking validation from a partner.
@@bg357wg I don't know him personally. But his work reminds me of an old teacher I used to have that synchronicity had me learn lessons that Jordan Peterson was interested in at the same time. But the other teacher was Dr. Bill Puett. A hypnotherapist/philosopher im certain would be an excellent guest for Dr. Peterson.
If i was the client who went to Jordan Peterson about my issues only to find he's talking about me to a STUDIO AUDIENCE!!!! About my 2 bowls of rice...I'd feel incredibly pissed off with him.
When i was kid i would get really angry before launch and i would day to my mom : "mom there is devil inside me " My mom's solution for me was to eat till all of devil gets out 🤣
Eating is a killer when it comes how long you will live. Sure you need all the nutrients but if you can just eat less meals (Same amount of calories just less meals) You will live much longer. So it's something to consider.
Hilarious!! This how i got fat! I was "eating" my emotions and once i realized this, a "miracle" happened! My brain got cleared from all the "fog"(depression, extreme emotional pain etc) once i STOPPED EATING MY EMOTIONS!! There is nothing wrong with being only half-full and this is how we were meant to be!! So, after this my body started to "ask" for exercise too!! So yeah, i got healthy and clear-brained by doing just the opposite..JBP is right most of the time but not all of the time and he even said that himself. All of those that blindly follow every single advice anybody gives them are in trouble...No matter how smart somebody is, you still need to use your own brain and experience to verify it...
I think there’s a spectrum for this, and everything is best to be “balanced”. Basically, the client example he gave is the other end of the extreme where they were unknowingly starving themselves, and that resulted in unstable blood sugar levels that causes volatility. In your case you were probably overeating, and it is really good you were able to pick up on that and change it. I wouldn’t necessarily use your example to discredit what he’s saying here, since as you say everyone should gauge for themselves where they lie on that spectrum. However, I can see why his suggestion needed to be said more since we have become so health-conscious by encouraging not eating much, and due to the advent of social media like Instagram there are many more body image issues, and generally people have been swayed further onto the side of under-eating than over-eating
@@bg357wg I agree with everything you said, except that I actually consider under-eating or non-eting (only fluids) for long periods of time not just healthy, but necessary to stay healthy (of course needs to be done right and NOT confused with anorexia!). If you are interested- check out *autophagy* fasting for longevity, which protects against many diseases , cells undergo adaptive stress response that accounts for many beneficial effects...
@@Green7JR I'm doing good bro bro. Thank you for asking. I recently quit my job at a pizza place because I was walking 5 miles for a 5 hr shift, only making 10 an hr. I was interviewed today for a bk that is right up the block.. and.. I GOT THE JOB! this pay is only 9 an hr. But I'll get more hrs and it's less than a mile up the road. How are you?🙂
NIIICE bro. I'm alright. I've found my purpose (writing) which is never fleeting and I drive Uber Eats and Door Dash. I manage my BD by good sleep. With a regular job, my sleep schedule would be set. Sometimes I get hypomanic/manic and can't adhere to a set sleep schedule. That's good to hear.
@@Green7JR I also enjoy writing. I journal daily. I write raps too. I'm dreaming big. I know it's not likely but just the thought of living my life as a rapper/ musician puts me into a state of bliss.
Most if not many of us signing up to Peterson's talks don't lead "cataclysmically horrible" lives. We want better ones. Because we are enlightened to believe that er can. Hint hint. We have resources. A lot of it is life skills and behaviors. Not to be unsympathetic but there is value in realizing the privelage (overused word but sorry it's apropos here) and agency, of *choice* for this population (that follows Peterson). One thing I disagree with, people don't become suicidal because of serotonin imbalance. It's a component of a larger crisis in identity in meaning. Or very serious mental illness...He is so direct yet non judgmental at the same. I sometimes wish he was more direct, but this has cost him.

*my alien ass getting up at **5:30** everyday*
Going to bed at 6am and waking up at 4pm
Could also be one several different things, for myself it was a diagnosis of sleep apnea contributing to major depressive disorder.
It also can help to get regular exercise for me walking works well get out in the sunshine I just to make it part of my schedule.
Get up at the same time
High protein, high fat breakfast
Shower the coldest your shower can get (including some brief breath work)
Complete game changer for me
Took me about a year to establish this habbit, but boy do I feel better.
Now the real killer is, deep down I'm lost. SSRI's might be the solution.
I can totally relate to what he is telling about depressed people: Everything in my life is good, except me.
To me it's like car maintenance - do this and that and it'll work great - but having a destination in mind with it, that's a totally different story
@Google UserWim Hof has some good explanations for this - I would recommend watching some clips with him explaining the benefits of this routine
That's like gold
Each word he speaks can be written in gold. He is so sorted in his brain I think. One of the greatest humans of our era. Go Dr JBP!
I really can't even put into proper words how much I love and appreciate Jordan Peterson. I'm a 24 yr old male and sometimes it seems like the only light i have in my life besides my instant family is JP......I truly wish him the best.
24. That's a great age.

I have a really fast metabolism and whenever am hungry it feels like HELL. That’s why I always have food/snacks around me and it helps me a lot.
I actually experienced this, when I was constantly vaping, the high amounts of nicotine would suppress my appetite. I became an asshole. I ended up going to nicotine pouches and my wife finally moved in and so I had no choice but to eat her breakfast lunch and dinner, and my mood improved 10 fold.
But it's a great way to stay in shape lol (I use nicotine pouches/snus). But yeah, there's nothing like filling your belly with a home cooked meal.

Another tip is to know how to apply the concept of being impartial and objectivity.
Also ask questions, it's thank to questions that the capacity of reason exist. Therefore being rational.
What a practical man.
That's so damn true. I was struggling in the first year's first term at the university and the entire issue was my money wasnt enough to afford god damn 3 meal food daily! Food seems very unseenable but it's god damn important to maintain academic education honestly.
Yes.
I so wish I had JP as my psychologist
I try that
This guy has the sanity of a person who’s been through stuff. 1 year of horrid pain and emotions , I’m now suffering from happiness haha People claim they know themselves until they find out they really don’t know themselves the hard way, once they change their diet and practice other better habits like not getting drunk, they can become more stable, this takes time and struggle
He's right. I have become much more volatile since I decided to lose weight. I wish I had more patience with people but I also don't want to be overweight. I also cant have a steady sleep cycle due to my job
Why do people say JP is very right wing? I watched tens of videos and I haven't really heard him say anything about politics yet
Because his followers are very right wing. Not necessarily he himself
I get hungry when tired!
Oh boy. I was doing groundskeeping and living on rice, beans and quinoa. Malnourishment is very real. Even in the west. Sad part is that its mostly intentional and if it isnt, its usually poverty.
I feel that i know who you are , are you from brazil ?
Most of the problems we consider psychological are more like problems in living .... Makes sense ...

it's true I didn't eat and knly drank energy drinks and it completely destroyed my dopamine levels
Sometimes the most difficult times require the most simple remedies..
Being hangry is a real problem, seriously!
I didn't expect this. But, it isn't an unpleasant surprise. It makes sense, I suppose. It's things people have been telling me for several months straight, that I've been ignoring or not bothered to do. Eating, sleeping as a prime example.
Yo this guy can be a comedian if he wanted. Protect this man at all cost

No the hunger things true I can attest to that
Exercise. Spend that energy.

Adenosine is released after a large caloric intake. Makes you sleepy, I eat my largest, often only meal of the day before bed, the evening. Fasting is not for everyone but some sort of it may be helpful, at least worth a try. Athletes, before the bike marathon/swimming etc, carbo load at night before bed. In the morning they go in light, no breakfast. It can weigh you done, or feel like it. My b-fasts are typically not massive when I do have them but some do well with the reverse.
Fasting is not for everyone but Ive found it prove quite useful. 24hr fasts are now unmindfully done by myself.
Look to apex predators, those like tigers and their eating schedules. They wake, they hunt, they kill if so lucky, they eat ravenously, often fall asleep afterwards.
Breakfast may be vital to you. Experiment, not wildly but bit by bit to see if it gets better.
this might be the one y'all were looking for czcams.com/video/cCbL00hmt-s/video.html
Apex predators are evolutionarily equipped to handle erratic eating habits. We're not apex predators like they are as humans are omnivores. We supplement our diets with plant life while they don't so our physiology is different.
Id like to sleep the same time and wake up the same time but i work graveyard on weekdays. So on weekends its another story.
honestly this is the type of speech a level headed person would give about level headedness haha. being level headed isn’t a very conscious thing- it’s more about seeing things as they are, rather than reading into them. i like that i’m an emotional person, but i can definitely see the benefits of being level headed and i’m trying to better my mindset.
Well said & relatable
Atleast you're trying 👍
I had a mouthful of pizza while being pretty drunk while he asked if I was hungry lol
How do you find someone a partner if you suffer from sosial anxiety and low Self esteem ? I fee i dont go forward with my life. A cannot talk to people especialy girls. And that's messes up
Im not a psychologist but I used to have the same issue. I would say to try and find out what causes your social anxiety and what causes the low self esteem. Once you figure that out you can then implement strategies to deal with it. And once you know how to deal with it and not let it overtake your life, it may help you get the courage to put yourself out there and talk to people. And its something that can help with your relationships cause you’ll know how to deal with it so you won’t let it destroy the relationship and with self esteem it’ll help you to not project them onto your partner.
Read a self help book on cognitive behavioral therapy. The one I read talked about strategies to help with both of those issues. And keep watching Jordan Peterson vids! :)
I'm very similar when my life isn't going the way I want it to. My plan is to put dating aside--loneliness sucks--for now until I get a stable external and meditation is practically my lifestyle. How are you doing Remy?
It's just a phase. Get drunk and talk to girls.
He promotes SSRI'S irresponsibly. He does not mention if you take them long term how they can cause damage. How toxic they are. How they basically just numb you that you dont really feel anything. Just a straight line of emotion. For example: You wont be able to cry. How they severely alter your nervous system if they taken over years. The pain and major withdrawal symptoms you will go through to come off them. Long term they are an absolute nightmare.
What about the people that SSRI’s don’t work for?
If you are high emotional person it's neutral not sick not hunger.
They do say an hungry man is an angry man🤣
Hunger = fight or flight volatility
I wish he spoke more about what to do if it's caused by trauma.
I think that's what his final point was all about. Seek help. The whole "you'll end up jumping off the building" statement was about trying to fix yourself when you need outside help.
@@JackHaveman52No kidding, Sherlock! It would be great to know specifically what kind of help works for trauma--considering this is that kind of video.
@@M3Besh
He can't diagnose what to do for trauma on a podcast. Each trauma is different and would require different treatments. So....I stand by what I said. Trauma is too vague. You have to seek professional help to understand the trauma, how it affects you the individual and what the best treatment would be, working together with a therapist.
It would be irresponsible of him to tell you how to handle trauma when he has no idea what that trauma is or how it manifests itself. So.....seek help for trauma. It's the only thing that makes sense. Follow the suggestion that Peterson gives.
Am I the only one who noticed that he sounds exactly like Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) ?

he said witch, but he definitely wanted to say the other thing

I get angry when I am hungry
Dr. Peterson accused me of being in love with my own intellect and life, as though enjoying the vanity of my own work were a moral failing. Its better to take credit for my own work than for someone else's.
Ur not in love ur obsessed, ur incappable of seeing past ur work
@@jmalmighty5433
Theres some truth to that. ive tended to reduce my empathic abilities to day to day interactions and focused on my clarity to see the logical consequences of my actions and act in my own best interests. Some people seem to try to deduce the feelings their actions provoke in others rather than the consequences, which is rooted in the blind desire to be accepted.
Its like i would trust a woman who was building her own heaven rather than seeking validation from a partner.
@@jmalmighty5433
It is fascinating. If someone was capable of acting in reality and not feelings they'd understand.
I’m curious, what was your relationship with him? A client? A student?
@@bg357wg
I don't know him personally. But his work reminds me of an old teacher I used to have that synchronicity had me learn lessons that Jordan Peterson was interested in at the same time.
But the other teacher was Dr. Bill Puett. A hypnotherapist/philosopher im certain would be an excellent guest for Dr. Peterson.
it is unbelievable to me that this is his advice, and people love him so much for saying this....
Yes!!! Lol
Ok
Holy father of the internet

I have gained 50% weight, when I started having high protein, high fat, breakfast.
Now workout
Food is sometimes irrelevant with mental health problems
Food is always relevant. ❤️ Give it a try.
@@bethnorris1361 especially as we get older
If i was the client who went to Jordan Peterson about my issues only to find he's talking about me to a STUDIO AUDIENCE!!!! About my 2 bowls of rice...I'd feel incredibly pissed off with him.
If you think there's any identifying information in his anecdote, I'd venture to say you have a different problem altogether.
@@avamasquerade got it sweetheart 👍🏻😜
taking testosterone cyp is also a game changer
When i was kid i would get really angry before launch and i would day to my mom : "mom there is devil inside me "
My mom's solution for me was to eat till all of devil gets out 🤣
Jordan: Can I offer you 2 eggs in these trying mornings?
Eating is a killer when it comes how long you will live.
Sure you need all the nutrients but if you can just eat less meals (Same amount of calories just less meals) You will live much longer.
So it's something to consider.
Hm! I like meat, cheese, and peanut butter. I can do that.
Such a long Career and study to say that you gotta eat
Hangery describes many women.
Not just hunger but an unbalanced diet can do this.
"I should take of me myself"
"Yeah maybe you should but one day you will jump of the building and that is the end of you helping yourself"

Wait 10 mins and see if your still a witch. He can be very funny. Well done!!
One who needs to become more rational and level headed may not have the capacity to watch a video teaching them how to.
Hilarious!! This how i got fat! I was "eating" my emotions and once i realized this, a "miracle" happened! My brain got cleared from all the "fog"(depression, extreme emotional pain etc) once i STOPPED EATING MY EMOTIONS!! There is nothing wrong with being only half-full and this is how we were meant to be!! So, after this my body started to "ask" for exercise too!! So yeah, i got healthy and clear-brained by doing just the opposite..JBP is right most of the time but not all of the time and he even said that himself. All of those that blindly follow every single advice anybody gives them are in trouble...No matter how smart somebody is, you still need to use your own brain and experience to verify it...
I think there’s a spectrum for this, and everything is best to be “balanced”. Basically, the client example he gave is the other end of the extreme where they were unknowingly starving themselves, and that resulted in unstable blood sugar levels that causes volatility. In your case you were probably overeating, and it is really good you were able to pick up on that and change it. I wouldn’t necessarily use your example to discredit what he’s saying here, since as you say everyone should gauge for themselves where they lie on that spectrum. However, I can see why his suggestion needed to be said more since we have become so health-conscious by encouraging not eating much, and due to the advent of social media like Instagram there are many more body image issues, and generally people have been swayed further onto the side of under-eating than over-eating
@@bg357wg I agree with everything you said, except that I actually consider under-eating or non-eting (only fluids) for long periods of time not just healthy, but necessary to stay healthy (of course needs to be done right and NOT confused with anorexia!). If you are interested- check out *autophagy* fasting for longevity, which protects against many diseases , cells undergo adaptive stress response that accounts for many beneficial effects...

The P in Peterson stands for practical.

How are you doing MTrayy?
Same. Meditation is life saving. I'd have been hospitalized by now without it.
@@Green7JR I'm doing good bro bro. Thank you for asking.
I recently quit my job at a pizza place because I was walking 5 miles for a 5 hr shift, only making 10 an hr. I was interviewed today for a bk that is right up the block.. and.. I GOT THE JOB! this pay is only 9 an hr. But I'll get more hrs and it's less than a mile up the road.
How are you?🙂
NIIICE bro. I'm alright. I've found my purpose (writing) which is never fleeting and I drive Uber Eats and Door Dash. I manage my BD by good sleep. With a regular job, my sleep schedule would be set. Sometimes I get hypomanic/manic and can't adhere to a set sleep schedule. That's good to hear.
@@MTrayy Oh nice. I see you have are pretty active on CZcams. Are you a creative that's trying to make it as well? I'm no gamer though
@@Green7JR I also enjoy writing. I journal daily. I write raps too. I'm dreaming big. I know it's not likely but just the thought of living my life as a rapper/ musician puts me into a state of bliss.
yeah then i poop all day while i clean pools with no bathrooms around me. Cliff bars and apples for now
Most if not many of us signing up to Peterson's talks don't lead "cataclysmically horrible" lives. We want better ones. Because we are enlightened to believe that er can. Hint hint. We have resources. A lot of it is life skills and behaviors. Not to be unsympathetic but there is value in realizing the privelage (overused word but sorry it's apropos here) and agency, of *choice* for this population (that follows Peterson). One thing I disagree with, people don't become suicidal because of serotonin imbalance. It's a component of a larger crisis in identity in meaning. Or very serious mental illness...He is so direct yet non judgmental at the same. I sometimes wish he was more direct, but this has cost him.
Learn mathematics and comp sci. After getting my mathematics degree Im a lot more rational.
