Need some New Year motivational videos
December 30, 2020 10:16 AM   Subscribe

With the new year coming, I'm looking for some short motivational videos (10 minutes or less) by people who have changed their habits related to health. The changes could be around food, what they eat (such as eliminating unhealthy junk food), drinking, exercise. Not looking for how-to guides but rather people describing the inner experience of change and how much better they feel after changing a habit. Two examples inside.

The first video (10 minutes) is one by Penn Jillette which I found a couple years ago. He talks about how he lost 100 pounds and how much his new food choices changed his life beyond just the weight loss, which was not his primary motivation anyway. The video ends with "I now eat whatever I want, but what I want has changed profoundly."

The second video (1 minute) is by Anthony Hopkins and he just posted it yesterday. He talks about having stopped drinking 45 years ago and how much better his life was after. One line is "suddenly the relief came and my life has been amazing."

What I like about these videos is they're concise and get right to the heart of the matter. Basically I'm looking for more short videos like these two, ones that describe what it feels like to change, the inner shift that happens over time, and the positive results that come from making changes.  I'm hoping to find at least a few more in the next two days and watch them on New Years Day and then every day after that, to reinforce some habits I'm trying to change. 

I have no idea how to search for this kind of video, so does anyone know of any, maybe videos you've found and enjoyed in the past?
