1:21 wake up earlier 2:31 go outside as much as humanly possible 4:06 optimize your environment 5:16 don't try to recreate the golden years - be present instead 7:00 be mechanistic 9:10 be ok

The "Be Ok" part really spoke to me. I always feel like my friends are doing cooler stuff, have more fun, live life to the fullest and for some reason, I just don't understand this part of my life yet. But then I realize that we all feel this way. Everyone is on their own path and journey. Thanks for the reminder Joey!

1. Wake up earlier to enjoy the magical aura of summer mornings and be part of the world waking up. 2. Spend as much time outside as possible to avoid feeling isolated and potentially meet like-minded people. 3. Optimize your environment to refresh and recharge you, making it easier to go out and enjoy the summer. 4. Be present in the moment rather than trying to recreate past memories; focus on creating new favorable memories. 5. Challenge yourself to do activities that are good for you, even if they might be uncomfortable at first, as they often lead to the best memories. 6. Avoid comparing yourself to others on social media and don't fall into the trap of FOMO (fear of missing out).

'As a summer enthusiast myself' Man I freaking love your dry humor ❤️

I think everybody would agree that we want more of those " Unfiltered thoughts " 😊 That was my favorite part of the video. Thanks!!

"Be present, stop reminiscing on the past". The moment I began living this principle I had less nostalgia and have been enjoying what I am doing more. Even mondaine things seem more adventurous and worth it. Appreciate the past, learn from it but don't try to live it. Remember the best days are ahead of you. Also, about FOMO, I be came a lot happier when I stop caring what everyone else was doing. Don't get me wrong, if a friend shares an experience with me I am happy for them and I will enjoy talking to them about it. However, I don't use social media to see what other people are doing and compare to what I am not. Don't compare your life to others. See what needs to be done, try to do what you want to do and try to enjoy the mundane things of life.

#5 Be Mechanistic. ‘Make adventure a mechanism. Take emotion out of it. Do things that are good for you automatically without considering how you feel’ Just incredible advice for the summer. Thank you so much

The last tip was so relieving to hear. I literally felt like a weight just lifted from my shoulders. It's so hard not to compare yourself to others and feel like you aren't good enough but it doesn't help anything and they aren't doing as good as you think they are.

So wild that you posted this today because I was having a very similar thought this morning!! I decided to wake up an hour early so I could go for a walk with my dog before work. As I was walking, I noticed that an early morning walk had an entirely different feel than my afternoon or evening walks. I had no idea what made it feel more special, but you hit the nail on the head with talking about the magic of summer mornings! It really does feel so magical ☺️

Just passing through to letting y'all know how much this guy has helped me. I started watching his channel back in 2020, looking to improve my life as I realized I wasn't doing too much with it, wasn't even feelling good with myself or actually being healthy at least. I don't remember what was the 1st video I watched but I'm very grateful that I found the channel, I made a lot of changes, implemented some basic habits and started asking to myself if I was doing things right: It all changed, now I'm 5 or even 10 times better than 3 years ago in basically every aspect. Thank you.

The first point is great! Summer mornings in Canada are amazing. My favorite thing was to get up at 3am, get to the mountains and start fishing by 5am. Solitude in the great expanse of the rocky mountains is one of the most rewarding experiences one can have. Now we live in Thailand, and its always summer here. 🥵

frank ocean already said in skyline to (2016) "this is joy, this is summer. keep alive, stay alive."

Thank you for your inspiring content, like optimizing sleep and just going outside. It's great to have a content creator like you!

Killing it with the videos lately mate! You seem like you're having a lot of fun with them since your talk with yourself about being too much of a perfectionist. It's cool to see you in the zone 👌🏼

Great to finally see a video about summer on 25th of July, good job Joey!!! :D

I like the style of the video, nice edits, keeping going in that direction, uplifting, light, funny, but still with a good (deeper) message, but with a postive spin on it

Dude, I love your channel. I came across your,,”Your Life Was Already Decided” video a few months ago. It gave me all the motivation I needed to reflect on my actions and put a plan in motion. I decided to specifically focus on my health and fitness and managed to lose 70lbs so far, with that video as the catalyst. This one is a nice reminder to “live life” too.

Man, I just found your channel and I'm really glad I did! Great content dude.

I live in Scotland and so experience similar dreary weather 🤣 I’m ready to put your advice into action to enjoy the rest of my summer before I move to university in September 👍🏻 Thanks for another inspiring video!

I must say I love your videos. Your tips are so much more real than "mindsets" or abstract stuff like that :) my favorite is inaction is a slow death, I rewatch it very often, even though I still procrastinate a bit

This is so good. I live in the Detroit area, so as soon as the weather gets remotely nice, I spend as much time outside as possible. It makes the end of summer a bit sad, but I feel like I squeeze every last bit of enjoyment out of the sun and warmth as I can!

Thanks for those advices! Nothing better during summer than enjoying it deeply and feeling alright within ourselves!

Best decision to watch this video today. This was one of the last screen times this summer! FOMO and thinking everyone except me has life figured out is killing me. Your thoughts are my summer mantra from now on. 💯

One of the better videos you've put out recently! Lots of the simple lessons hit hard

Thank you! This video injected me with good vibes. "Being Present" is your best advice...Love your channel 🙏🏻

You changed my life with your channel. Thanks for putting my critical thoughts into motivational words ❤

I really enjoyed this video. I'm really inspired when you make your cinematic videos but this style with you talking about things + your own experiences is real and fun to watch. The clips from films added to it. I want to watch more films but also go outside but also work on my goals 😂

Absolutely love all these recommendations! Thanks for sharing your experiences and great analysis. 😀

This spoke to me on a whole new level. I want to thank you personally for making this video. Thank you

I was wondering was is so special in all of your videos, and makes them so enjoyable and uplifting. Maybe your wisdom, editing skills, knowledge ? Probably all of that… but I had a whisper of intuition saying: it’s way deeper, it’s the intention and the heart you put in them and your very own « presence ». Sometimes we can doubt the necessity to add to the sea of information and advice out there, but please never doubt that your « digital » presence is much appreciated.

I'm going to be honest, as much as I love the summer vibes and how much other people seem to come alive, I sometimes wonder if I get seasonal depression that affects me in summer rather than winter. I live in a desert. It's hot. It's dry. Everything feels slow and heavy and the heat makes me drowsy and I need more sleep to feel rested. This year I've been trying to remind myself that I live in a the states that's known for outdoors recreation and that I should take advantage of that, and videos like this help me to keep my spirits up and get excited about living life. Thank you!

Thanks Joey. I live in Australia so we're bang smack in the middle of winter, but this gives me plenty of time to get my arse into gear for when summer comes around!

I got your videos in my recommendations a lot of times but I never really clicked until 2 weeks ago. You say things that I've heard before or things that I've known but dude you explain them in way that convinces me. I think I only watched 2-3 videos of yours and somehow it made me change my habits. And I've watched so many "motivational" videos in my life, every time I watched one of them of course I was telling myself "yeah I need to do that", "that's it I'm starting asap" yada yada. I only said things, I never changed anything. 3 videos of yours made me change everything in 2 days. I'm ejoying your videos so much, I'm always recommending your channel to other people cuz really what you do is crazy. Everyone including me has a good feeling about this year, especially this summer, I'm looking forward to do things and enjoy my time alone. I'll definetely make sure to try these things, can't wait!!

Your videos keep getting better and better, it´s nice to see you spend time making sure to deliver quality content, keep it up.

Your videos are such a blast to watch, seriously obsessed with your channel!

I think "be mechanistic" is the key for me. I'm trying to get out on my bike as much as humanly possible (I rediscovered my love for it a couple years back) but due to work and the fact it's raining almost every day here in Toronto, it's easy to just not bother. I think I need to just get out there for a bit each day despite the weather. Sure wish it were easier to go swimming frequently though.

This, along with your other videos are incredibly informative and well-thought out and amazing, also shoutout to the comment section as well for the good advice and vibes 💯.

Bro I needed this so badly, thank you so much, it’s sorta an awakening for me, keep up the work man!

Some things that worked for me. Get cheap camping gear and explore the nature within driving distance of you instead of making expensive trips on the other side of the world. Spend time with your family (grandparents especially). Excercise outside as much as possible. Try new hobbies.

Appreciate your content and your ability to be open to the audience.

I really like the fusion of wisdom and humor of your videos. Your an artist thank you ❤

There's one thing I actually hate about summer and yes, it's SCORCHING WEATHER. And as active and sporty as I am - I hate being sticky with sweat shortly after going outside. If it were at the seaside or at vacation - that's totally fine. But even there I try to spend most part of the day in as much shade and coolness as possible. And when it comes to being in the city, the only good time for me is early morning hours and late evening hours. And that's ALL. So for me, there's simply no such thing as "having the best summer of my life" 😒

The editing of this video IS PERFECT. (Literally one of the best edits I’ve ever seen.) The content is great too and I practice the advice now. Thank you.👏🏻

Your videos are amazing man! both content and filming have been upgraded so much since I had started watch your channel. Congrats! By far the best """""Self-improvement""""" channel on YT.

Awesome video! Love your honesty about how you came up with the list just now 😂 I would love to see a version of this for winter and enjoy it instead of just getting through it.

Such simple advice to making your life an adventure. Jump in the lake and enjoy. Love bc though can definitely be rainy. Great video man.

Summer is the season of adventure and relaxation, and this video is a fantastic guide to making the most of it! From planning exciting trips to embracing spontaneous moments, these tips are sure to turn any summer into an unforgettable one. I can't wait to implement these ideas and create lasting memories.

This summer I've been waking up early, running, and doing extreme cardio in the piercing heat/sun for an hour and then working out in the gym for another, then I go for a swim in the afternoon. It hurts like hell but I've also never felt better in my life 😅

Thank you! I live in the Vancouver area too. I'm going to make the most of this summer!

This is pure gold! Will refer to it repeatedly!

Saving this link and pasting it to my calendar to play ever year on the first day of Summer! Thank you so very much for sharing this!! 🫶

It's great to see your personality more in the videos

Definitely agree with getting up earlier and enjoying the weather, an amazing way to start the day, especially with exercise and then breakfast as a reward ☀️☕😊

Wish the videos were much longer they’re so entertaining and full of everything

Glad to see you back! Please make more videos and get well soon too

Absolutely love this video! It seems everyone lately is so unhappy and so busy, especially busy complaining. The world needs more of exactly this! I’m sharing this with my teenager and my college kid and…well everyone on FB today because we all need some positivity! 😊

I started this summer with the idea that I would go exercise, get myself in shape. Honestly, failed. For maybe a week or two it was working out, but then it got assigned a negative connotation in my mind when other people I have a clear disdain for wanted to always do it with me. So with that, and two vacations jammed into my summer, I basically just quit trying to get back into shape. I barely go outside every day if at all, and I've never really been the kind who wants to go hang out at someone else's house for hours or at all. In fact, I haven't been to someone else's house in years. I'm not chasing those golden years when I did, but I'm dreading every day I get closer to the peak of my life in college. Honestly, a bit of a reason for some of these things is blaming myself/others (which does it count as?) for my lack of independence, but I'm hoping as soon as I have a license and can drive myself to the gym and better socialize with others, that I'll be able to fix myself. Just kind of a rant. Thanks.

The golden years hit HARD. great video.

We appreciate your content. We will support you no matter what.

thanks, dude. I needed this one.

Thank you for making this video, I really needed this!

I live in the NW. love the rain and bad weather keeps the crowds away

Extremely useful recommendations and information. Thank you

These are really good tips, I'll try to implement them if I can get outside

It's winter here right now and I'm absolutely longing for summer so that I can go out to the beach and vibe in the sunshine. It's pretty good weather here overall, quite warm for winter, but it's just not the same. But I'm putting together a list of things I want to do in summer and I can't wait!

I love the edit this time. Not that I don't like the others, but this was super entertaining!

You're the best, man thx for advices💪

Thank you, i needed this !

It is always summer on this island but these are great ideas to implement the whole year, thanks :)

Your videos are always a reminder to me that life is ok and we should get out of our comfort zone.

i'm watching from Uzbekistan you are the coolest man I've ever seen, keep going like this you're the best)

100% agree with experiencing the morning sun, its so beautiful

thank you Joey, this helped a lot.

I've been recreating golden memories since 2019. I guess that's the reason why I never felt the "good time" of summer ever again. Thanks for making this

Already august thank u dude

Thank you Good Man for your wise advice😊 love from Poland

This channel is changing my life

i would like to add something that helped me a lot with this problem, and that is to try and enjoy every season of the year (not only summer) as much as possible. it took me years to be able to enjoy winter after new years because i found it too depressive, but the last couple of years i found a way to appreciate it. now i can enjoy summer much easier because i don't anxiously await the beginning of it, and more importantly, i don't fear the end of it.

I love your half-assed videos

this helped me a lot, thank you! :)

Thanks for making this video. Men I really appreciate 🤸🏻‍♀️

I needed thia video as i wanted have the most productive summer ever

Just got some unexpected free time (unfortunately). I will try to heed your first advice and not rot away. Been outside more today as in the recent days where I had some excuse. Let's see how long that holds up! 😅

I need this for autumn, because this is way harder.

KZfaq kept eating my comment before I could submit but basically.. I get more ideas when I’m outside, go figure. I feel more present and I don’t reminisce as much. I find myself comparing the then vs now when I do, which doesn’t help my mood. I recently got an Apple Watch that’s been helping me be more active whether I’m outside or not. I like it because I can be away from my phone and watch the little activity circles fill through out my day lol. I like the tips and will use them for other seasons. Thanks for posting as always. ❤

Living on the island is great. i make sure to get the most out of the 10 days of sunshine every summer

OK I needed the “be present / don’t try to recreate the golden years” tip because I grew up on a lake and my entire adult life has been trying to recreate that but I’m not rich so it’s hard and I just end up depressed because I want that life back.

It's my first summer that I have real friends and live in the city of my dreams. However, I have a concussion and am not allowed to do much. I've made my own rythm. Every night I'll sit on my roof and look over the citylights while reading. I'll wake up at 11AM, do a really mild version of my workout, eat something healthy, hangout with friends or learn for my driving licence and then I'll go to the roof again. It feels amazing. A week ago I was still doom scrolling my vacation away cause there was nothing to do so I made summer goals. I'll workout almost every morning as best as I can without making my concussion worse, I'll learn to cook with my dietary restrictions, I'll get my theory exam for my driving licence and I'll quit smoking. I'm working on these goals everyday and feel amazing

I’ve been trying to always get outside every single day when I have a day off. I’d like to have a conversation with some random stranger but I find it difficult as I have a hard time trying to pick a topic to discuss. It’s easier to have conversations with people I know because I’m already familiar with them. I do need to work on FOMO as so many of my friends’ pictures are so cool that I do feel a little down. However, I’ve been working on it and one always needs to remember that what you see on the Internet is not always accurate to reality.

I like that he is confident in his judgement from the 20 somthing years that he has figured it out.

Thank you Joey, I really appreciate the work you put into your channel and videos.

Much needed, thanks!

I never thought I’d see a MaxOr clip in a better ideas video… But it’s the best thing that happened all day

Really loved this one. I didn't know you lived here in BC. Hope to see you around someday 😊

Thanks for your vids man

Thanks for posting this on *checks notes* July 25

3:53 i love the way you perfectly synced your words with the clip 🤣

this man never fails to deliver

As a person who lives in Greece I guarantee you no person in the world spends every summer feeling amazing! Proof is I’m watching this video to make this one a better one 😂 stay present and be a great friend with yourself. That’s what my good summers have in common.

Your arms are growing bro 💪🏻
