Video Summary:
Wouldn't your life be magical if you could exercise the self control you intend? Your body would be ripped, your bank account always in the black, you'd always floss, eat right, and get up on time. You'd never be plagued by depression, anger, or anxiety, because you'd will your emotions into compliance.
Self control is the building block of all discipline, the cornerstone of achieving any success. Our mind comprehends our reality as two worlds, the outer world of objects, situations, and people around us; and the inner world of our emotions, thoughts, and beliefs. Humans naturally seek solutions to their problems via the outer world, instead of within themselves. The secret to self-control is to change the paradigm. Instead of portraying ourselves as victims who are acted upon by outside forces, we need to be the creators of our situations and success -- a creator mentality, rather than a victim mentality.
As with instilling any habit, exercising self control requires persistence. Imposing discipline strengthens the pre-frontal cortex's impulse control; while giving in to brain-sapping vegetative stimulation such as TV and internet weakens it.
To improve your self control, own your control via your inner world, rather than blaming outside forces. Unhook from outside stimulation, because you're not in control when you're letting your brain be occupied the lazy way. Instead, read and introspect your way to self control. - Jak na to + styl

i’m thankful i accidentally found you and your channel. u deserve the world. my best and deepest wishes of well to you, for guiding me to become the best version of myself.
Leo and Tom Bilyeu my 2 fav, and I'm a stickler for Uber quality
Self control is your purpose in life. Love that! You're right I think. That in itself is a great goal.
His words sometimes make me more strong than I already am.
The part when you are talking about your body being a load of little thermostats has given me a great eureka moment when it comes to recovery from mental health and recovery. Seriously honestly you have made me feel amazing and take action. Thankyou so much.
Thank You Leo!
I'm so committed to better myself, I started meditation a week a go it's hard but gonna continue forever I already made so many changes in my life I feel proud of myself even though it's just the beginning. Your videos have helped me so much. So thank you..
Goooood! Stick with it.
Congratulations ( even though it's 7 years later) I would love to ask what your reason was for wanting to develop more self control? ( thats if you don't mind sharing, either way, thanks)

Whenever I feel disconnected in life, I go back to you Leo. Thank you.
I found this on tiktok of all places and it’s the new year. This is an amazing new start to the year❤️
Leo I'm going to be honest. I thought u were a goober at first but after watching almost everyone of your videos I've realized that u have helped me more than anything else on you tube. I can't thank you enough and just to let you know I've started watching one or more of ur videos a day and am taking them serious. Man I have alot of respect for you and I realized that u are brilliant thanks leo.
Somebody once said "we can't control the winds but we can adjust our sails" which basically means we can't change what happened, but we can change our reaction to it. Outside stuff doesn't make us happy or mad, *we* make *ourselves* happy and mad. *We* give situations labels. You might not be the wealthiest dude alive, but that fact has no connotation until you give it one. You can say "dang it i wish i was rich" and give that fact a negative connotation. Or you can say "well at least i get by with the money i have" and give that same fact, a better connotation. It's all in our minds. And it takes time, energy and control to change the connotations we give to facts in our lives.
To Build Self-Control: @ 16:50
1. Discipline your intentions and take action == trains your Self-Control.
a. If you have intentions to brush teeth twice a day -- do that
b. If you have intentions to work out -- do that
c. If you have intentions to journal -- do that
2. Disconnect from media == break the bad habit of Self-Control sapping media.
Just do it... Nothing more nothing less... You are what you think... If you always do what you've always done, you always get what you always got. 💪
never be a victim
it's always your choice
after studying psychology for the past two years and watching more than 10 of your videos this one right here was the one that opened my ears & moved me to action. again thank you. I really appreciate & share your vision to spread the knowledge of self actualization.
Leo, I'm not sure how to say this but....you've planted a lot of healthy seeds of reality that sprout the truth. I do my best to remain unbiased and objective (like the scientist with the chimps...lol) and it helps keep me grounded. I am currently struggling in certain areas of my life on a personal level and your videos aren't magic pills or quick overnight remedies. ..they are more (to me at least) food for thought. I listen to these daily, sometimes 2-3 in a row or I'll just throw on a play list as I clean the house, or get ready for work etc. I find that as I reprogram my subconscious and have your insight constantly playing in the background I naturally pick up on the BIG picture. So thank you for the paradigm shift assistance. I tell my buddies about self actualization and basically raising your conscious level and the chain reaction of events recently have been superior. I no longer want to live small, as of today I choose to Live BIG!
Good! That's how it works. No quick fixes, but long-term transformation.
Actualized.org YES! Shortcuts = Short term (more or less) Longcuts = Long term - Keep up the great work!
I am so grateful for these videos and have only just started. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world and for helping so many. This is so incredibly lifechanging 💕
this literally changed my life tysm xxxx ❤❤❤ it's about separating those two worlds and realising what one is more important
I wish I could believe that
Makes so much sense I have completely disconnect from social media it feels great and I've been practicing all of what you said and it really does work thank you I have a long way to go but I feel so much happier 🙂
Great content Leo. All I needed now. It ended up putting tear in my eyes. You say all the right things about focusing in the inner world, about the clashes of different view points inside our own mind that prevents us from doing something, the brain/thermostat, the discipline, the unhook from what is distraction and raising your consciousness by being introspective, etc. Thanks. Marcos
Well the two main arguments are:
1.Get self control by following through on disciplinary tasks; in other words, get self control by having self control.
(This is very circular but I get it)
2. Unplug (This is great advice, but it does seem strange to recommend an Email service after it. )
It's not circular at all.... it is just like any thing else. You develop a skill through practice of that skill.
Thank you. At the time I watched this I was feeling an overwhelming amount of gilt, and now I think I'm going to try and overcome it. So thank you again.
Brother you are so spot on!!! WOW!!! I am so glad that I WAS GUIDED TO THIS THIS MORNING. Looking forward to your newsletter!!

I am extremely emotional, I am trying to improve my self control and it defiantly got worse before it got better, not too sure how to stop being an emotional egg. It doesn't really help that I'm Bipolar.

You are such a great person Leo. Thank you so much for this awesome video, you have no idea how much i needed to hear it.
I thought this channel was going to be some vague, crap way to allure people into buying services. But you actually break down the subject and explain it with depth and interest. I love this video, thank you for allowing your experience and studying to be shared with others!
The ability to give yourself a command and then follow thru with it another fine video
Thank you for taking the time to share in such an easy to understand manner. I have heard most of these concepts and ideas before, but your manner of explanation is perfect. peace and blessings!
Actually in this video you do address every one! Thanks for being mindful about it.
My favorite segment! Thanks, Leo!
thank you for motivating me and inspiring me in this moment.
OMG!! You are like a guardian. You really inspire and unconditionally help.
I also study psychology and speech mastering (freshman), and I just wanna say that what really hooked me in watching more of your vids were the remarkably attracting thumbnails. I must say, you knew very well how to utilize photography and your facial expressions to psychologically get people in here. I really think it's cool. Wanna be like ya someday. lol
I'm committed to it! you are literally saving my life.
He seriously gave me a completely different mindset. I'm forever grateful for the help this is bringing me!
You're awesome. So genuine and sincere. I love these videos and will definitely work on my self control and mastering my psychology with your help. Thank you.

I am highly influenced by this energy that you shared here. I have subscribed to your news letter and I am looking to take so much of your forthcoming ideologies. Thanks for your contribution. The greatest investment of my life.
Welcome
I hate you, man :) you ruined my life!!! now i feel compelled to translate your videos and share the message with everyone who has ears.. it's killing me!!! can't you make videos in russian language too?! so i just could share a link?!!!!
too easy >>> use 'google translate'
hahaha
@@coach_balakshina204 He would need to learn Russian, appreciate that he is even sharing his knowledge at all. If it really bugs you then contribute to adding Russian captions to his videos so that way others can enable the captions in Russian.
Thank you for everything; your sensitivity/vulnerability play well for your conviction, and thus, empower your message. Actualize the world! Then we won't care about money, and we'll all be kings.

It is the best video I have seen on internet most helpful and clarifying for me.

I now have understood the importance of our "inner" game or world
and the importance it has, it is life transforming ..
by the way great speech.. fantastic learnings together with motivation..
:-)
Many thanks,
Tino
Amazing way of presentation.... Love the way you intonate yourself..Nice black theme at background which allows listener to keep concentrating just on whatever you are saying..thanks for all the videos, feels motivated whenever I watch one.
Great video!!! Thank you so much for uploading. Very helpful. Oh my god. If I can make myself better I would be so happy.
This is going to be hard to boost my self control because I know my brain is pretty mushy right now but Im glad I found this video and I can have some guidance. Thanks for posting this video
this is honestly amazing, thank you.

Thank you for this great video Leo
When we love ourself, we are not obsessed with anything. By this I mean, it's okay to lose self-control now and then, our body knows what's good and what's bad for us.
Maria Strela Natalia Sulaiman not really.
Your channel is a delightful discovery, so useful, so practical, congratulations and of course, following you from now on! ;)
The modern world encourages people to reduce themselves to consumerist cattle. This video presents a much-needed solution to that problem. Thank you for this!
Great stuff as always Leo 👍
Wow! that's great advise man. Thanks alot, I love this!!
Amazing. Simply amazing. When I first came across one of your videos I could relate to the every word that you said in it. Everything was logical and rational and yet emotional as well. I can't forget my first experience with your video. Lots of love.
Thank you for this video.
You have no idea how this video helped me, thanks alot.
really enjoy your vibe! keep shining dude you inspire me
it actually covers many points, this is so helpful.
I am currently in the battle of the mind with the internal opposing forces. My mind has been used to giving into impulses for so long that the neural networks that receive reward are STRONG. I receive the reward through the opioid receptor. I can't see the light yet because it seems so hard to grasp. Discipline is key. This video has inspired me to begin to execute self-control. When I have an impulse now I do a breathing meditation or Mantra which helps . Thank you Leo.
Very powerfull video. It really does motivate and inspire to take action. After this I actually felt overwhelmed and I think it opened some sort of consciousness as well as gave understanding about our brains and minds.
Thank you for this content!
This is the greatest video in CZcams history.
Engaging Video..Going to start from today!! Thanks for sharing your technique and experience
Im 22 year old and left my job for only 5 months for some reasons we all know we have been thru . I feel miserable not doing the right steps before quitting a job. Something is very wrong with me and I find this video very helpful.
''Self-control is strength, right thought is mastery, calmness is power'' i wish a lot of people could focus on self-control more for how important and helpful it can be.
thanks a lot... it really makes sense, the prefrontal stuff is quite right... sometimes religious practices help bring the role of prefrontal cortex.. like in hinduism.. u are supposed to wake up everyday... pray and light a lamp... in front of god and go through what u want in life.. its like reiterating what is important in life.. religious pratices are not so bad after all
I just screamed at my dad and I feel extremely bad. I don't know what happened. I didnt know what was happening until I watched this video. Thank you.
Starting to love this videos !
Excellent video Leo!!!
man, thanks for putting this one up.
Leo im from Pakistan and i've subscribed in your forum on actualized.org thanks for helping me out brother.
Wow...... I have already started doing this. I haven't by no means mastered it. But..... I'm going to, I'm definitely going to. It's not easy. But it is my door way to happiness which is what I want most. And I know all other areas of my undisciplined life will fall into order has to. Has to. So I'm excited for my amazing future....... YES !!! THANK YOU for the clarity.
Thank you man!
Love it!...this was great, thanks
These old days. Thanks so much Leo. I grow so much. From Indonesia.
Your videos are amazing. They help me so much. Thank you!!!!
