    My theory on this is:
    Whenever you enter a messy room you look at it and think "I need to clean it up". Then immediately "I'll do it later" or "I don't care" or "screw it" or "can't be bothered". Every time you do it, you strengthen the mental circuits responsible for "I don't care". Give it enough time and it will be completely subconscious so that you react by "I don't care" to lots of things without ever realising you are.

      +Slawomir I disagree. I know Peterson is not making a statement on an objective standard of mess and probably he mean with cleaning your room to clean your room according to your own dissatisfaction with your current layout. But the way you wrote the comment is different. If you´re concluding thought is "I don't care" then perhaps you are not agreeing really with that it is a mess. If your ¨I don´t care¨ is just an excuse for yourself, I agree with your comment, but really really explore your ¨I don´t care. It could be you really dont care, and that your "I need to clean it up" is based on a societal norm. There is not an objective mess.
      My room and house is very very messy to the standards of most people, but according to me there is just zero zero mess by definition.
      A leaf in the forrest on the ground is not considered messy, but leafs on the floor in a house are considered messy. A logic is that an item that does not ¨belong¨ in a certain place is considered messy. My room is my place, it´s impossible for someone else to consider that something can or can´t belong in my room.
      Just like a leaf is not messy in a forrest, my clothes lying around on the floor, efficiently using all the empty space i myself paid for, can´t be considered a mess. If someone does consider it a mess, he/she would claim somehow ownership of my room. The only person deciding if something should belong in his/her room is the owner of the room.
      Once I had a very happy time in my crazy room setup at the time. I had SAND on the floor. I made a caveroom with sand on the floor and rounded the corners with plastic.
      Sand normally is considerd dirty. In my room it was considered clean.

      Same. Although I'm beginning to think part of the reason he hadn't was either because he wasn't taught those things himself or, if he had, he was too angry at his own father for neglecting other things to really listen to the few things that he could have been so useful.
      When I really think about it I realize all the times that I have similarly been stubborn of some of the advice my own father gave me. Even if he had been a bit hypocritical or pushy, I should have taken some of his warnings more seriously than I did rather than fixate all my effort on avoiding all the mistakes he had made.

      There are many situations in life where any normal person would feel weak and broken, shattered and hopeless, filled with grief...
      When JP says "feel weak".. He doesn't necessarily mean a situation like that.
      What I think he means is that when you say or do something, it either makes you feel more integrated, oriented, strong and composed or it'll make you feel pathetic, which generally happens when we do something we KNEW we shouldn't have done.
      He is basically saying to abide by the conscience.
      I mean, just think... If you have a test coming up and you're binging CZcams all day.. That'll make you feel pathetic, whereas if you actually study hard and get prepared, you'll feel more strong and confident.

    I want to add something:
    While cleaning your room, get rid of everything you don't need!
    First, you will find yourself in a very sentimental state
    because everything you touch holds a memory.
    But sooner than later you will realize that memories can hold you back
    and the key is to let go.

    • @ETBrooD
      @ETBrooD Před 7 lety +41

      What are we without our sentiment?
      I agree that holding on to things that hold you back can sometimes be bad for you. But in some cases the loss outweighs the gain. Don't just get rid of things carelessly when they wake emotions that you personally consider invaluable. Be mindful about your decisions, listen to your heart. It's the little things that define the essence of your love for the world and for yourself.

    • @Hamsammich111
      @Hamsammich111 Před 7 lety +14

      Sapher,
      I find that nowadays MANY people are searching for a father figure. People call streamers and CZcamsrs 'dad' over and over, and I believe this is a result of many societies stigmatizing masculinity.
      Just my thoughts on it, though.

    • @thExoticAries
      @thExoticAries Před 7 lety +9

      3lit3gn0m3 perhaps the father archetype is the embodiment of order in that he extends from himself an intelligible structure or "form" to aid in guiding others or society at large. Fathers tend to help their children understand how the world works by embuing them with, as Jordan called, "a well structured philosophy of life" (which is what religions ideally aim to do and what Academia in its ideal state, aims to do)

    • @yeahr1ghty
      @yeahr1ghty Před 7 lety +11

      3lit3gn0m3 3lit3gn0m3 what is a father anyways? To me a father is simply a significantly more mature and learned (at least in one domain relevant to the relationship) masculine figure who provides guidance for you. I'm saying this because I disagree that people searching for father figures constantly isn't strictly a "nowadays" trend. A father is basically mentor that cares about you, so yeah Jordan Peterson is a father figure (imo) but not because people want a father figure, he simply IS one. Good evidence for this is the bond caring teachers have with their students, regardless of age (although it happens more frequently with children because they need more guidance and school is a bigger part of their life). I've had a traditional masculine father provide a lot of guidance and protection for me in life but I still take on other father figures. I think unless a person was taught as a child that a father figure is danger that they will take on other father figures to help develop themselves, regardless of society.

It's pretty gradual, I didn't actually start to notice differences in my life until about 2-2.5 months in. But I'm much more organized, mentally and physically. I've noticed a large decrease in mood swings and episodes of anger. I have a pretty clear vision of how I want the next year or so to go for the first time in a while. Would highly recommend.

    Its true. One way I deal with depression is by starting to list my problems, and starting to solve them one by one. Beginning with the cleaning my house. And from there, it serves as a basis to solve the rest of my problems. Like going through my mail and paying my bills. It opens doors that let me solve other problems, like having a clean house allows me to invite people over like the mechanic to do maintenance on my boiler that I avoided because I was ashamed of people seeing my messy house. I can invite friends and family over and socialize.
    Depression makes you feel like youve been snowed in with problems, but the only way to solve them is by grabbing that shovel and start shovelling. Once your porch is clear, then you can start worrying about the bigger issues.

In a short-term reality relations doesn't make sense. That's why gurus, coaches and daddy knows all figures are making so much success today. People are completely lost. Emptiness, personality disorders, anxiety, depression are all result of the economic liberalism turning everything and everyone into merchandise. People thought that defeating socialist shit they would be better. We ended up with something equally fucked up, but in the other end of the line. I doubt following someone who defends the very political system that generates that reality will help you. Read Byung-Chul Han, John N. Gray and Dany Robert-Dufour to understand our contemporary reality and find a true psychologist that don't deliver pseudo-wise truths and helps you find out who you really are and what you really want or need instead of following a guru.

I started this almost a year ago and as a result I started boxing, gained a promotion at work I got back into shape, and even got me through depression, and this all started from simply tidying my room, it affected others in my house too more of my family were cleaner, my mother got back into running after the passing of my Nan, my friends at work are even bettering themselves training in the gym after seeing my progress. If you want to change the world you have to be able to manage yourself. It’s a really good feeling been able to go to your friends and be able to actually help them in different aspects of their lives and this is all because of one simple step to sorting out my life so Thankyou Dr Peterson!!

    Cleaning up the room is an excellent starting point. It´s something that is just yours, up to you to decide how to, when to etc., no-one to consider, but more importantly: no-one to blame. If you do it, it´s your success, if you don´t do it, it´s your failure. It´s an excellent starting point because it yields immediate improvement to your life once done, it is of a scope that is manageable, and if it still feels overwhelming, you can do it in bits and start with that desk, or that drawer or that chairdrobe.

    man this is it, but the gravity of lethargy / apathy / depression is a bitch. it's fucking hard to construct something that's compelling.
    but the only decent choice is to force yourself to outline a rough idea of what might be worth going for, and move towards it one manageable step at a time. see if it makes life meaningful after a while and piece the compelling vision together bit by bit.
    its either that, suicide or stay stuck in misery. "for the living there is hope, it's better to be a living dog than a dead lion."

      Wilson What helps me sometimes when I don't feel like doing anything is setting a time limit. OK, I'll do dishes, or work out, or whatever it is, for 10 minutes. Sometimes you end up enjoying yourself and continuing longer, sometimes you don't. But at least you've done something. Depression sucks, but you know it's a roller coaster. Hang in there until it eases up some.

      You have a point there, but I feel it's a little late to rename the channel. There will be a time in the future when I will have highlighted everything I wanted to and then it's time to expand. First I will stay on this track until I consider this project finished, but until then I still have a big stack of notes in-front of me that I have to work through.
      I really didn't know what kind of channel this would end up being when I started and I still don't know what it will end up looking like in a year. I finish things one by one, step by step, that's the only way that works for me right now. Maybe some opportunity will open up along the way, who knows.

    Plato's version of "clean your room" :

    Socrates: Nothing particular, Crito, he replied: only, as I have always told you, take care of yourselves; that is a service which you may be ever rendering to me and mine and to all of us, whether you promise to do so or not. But if you have no thought for yourselves, and care not to walk according to the rule which I have prescribed for you, not now for the first time, however much you may profess or promise at the moment, it will be of no avail.

    clean your room sounds simple but there is so much meaning in those words, perhaps it depends on how the words are interpreted. It can be applied to just your room or be strategically implemented into your life, and that is the goal of cleaning your room. I began diligently following JP for about 2 weeks now, and i find my chain of thoughts wandering into a better and constructive dimensions, my suicidal fantasy is slowly going into regression (unfortunately i do still dream of it everyday) . Although I'm struggling with my professional career and life's in a financial crisis, being stuck in a dead end job with future looking bleak, I somehow feel that these are external situations that can be investigated and positive steps can be taken. Heres to striving towards happiness.

    Not only does creating order consistently in your room give you a clear head, it makes you better at creating order in all other aspects of your life. Every time you clean your room, you give yourself order where it's needed most, and the habit of creating order where it can be strengthened the most - the place you visit every day.

      "Crime" is a judgement. Your own morality isn't decided by the people around you, you always choose your own morality, even when you adopt the morality of others. The only morality that exists is the one you accept, because all morality is subjective and personal.
      Criminals have a conscience, therefore they usually have their own morals, just like everyone else has their own, too.
