well after I made my video about Garrett Watts and his hoarder lifestyle with Shane
Dawson and all of their friends I talked about running away from your problems
and why it doesn't work and a ton of you a ton of you asked me to do another
video on it so that's what we're doing right now
what is everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the
problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel my channel is
all about mental health and what I like to do is pull different topics from the
YouTube community to try to teach you how you can improve your mental health
so if you're in that kind of stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that
notification bell and a little housekeeping real quick because I forgot
to do this in my last two videos I need to apologize kind of like I said that
Tristan and I were going to make a video on Sunday but we ended up not doing it
we will do it though we're gonna try to do with this next weekend
one of the reasons was like we just kind of overwhelmed ourselves and we both had
schoolwork and we did like a five-hour live stream for Zach
and you guys like we have the best the best audience on earth like we raised
over two hundred dollars for Zach and his family through the GoFundMe and the
pay all that kind of stuff they still need a little help so if you want to
donate down below there's gonna be some links
anyways like it was so great like I got to hang out with all of you like for
like five hours and we got to play video games and watch stuff and talking let's
get back to this whole situation of Garrett Watts geographical zone running away from your
problems so in video there's a part where he talks about like everything
that's so bad you just got to a point where he's like
you know what I'm just gonna get a new place I'm gonna get a brand new place
and start over and like this is something that's so
many of us fill it so many of us just think that this like clean slate is
going to solve all of our problems and that is not the case
this is something that I learned over and over and over and over and over
again and then I thought no if I moved to another place I can like kind of
start over and have like a new life and be more organized and stuff but I took
all the stuff from the old place and you just put it in here which is why it was
like this for so many months so it's like this needed to happen you know what
I mean so for me personally it started out with my substance addiction right to
drugs and alcohol for a long time I thought Vegas was the problem Las Vegas
was the problem like there was just you know too many of my friends passed away
and myself my kids mom and my son we moved to California I'm like okay cool
fresh start we're gonna be good and within weeks within weeks I was finding
new dealers out in California right this was a problem I'm the problem you know
and you know it's funny too I remember you know after about a year of being
clean I moved no you can't move back to Las Vegas Las Vegas first off I was in
Fresno California there's a ton of drugs in Fresno California second off what I
realized is like you could put me on a deserted
Lindt and I will figure out a way to get high like it doesn't matter where I go
but what I realize is that I'm the problem so I have to work on me I always
tried to move from place to place I would switch apartments which friends
all sorts of things to run away from my poems but no matter where I went no
matter what I did the problems would come with me
so for example would get it like it's so amazing that you know Shane and Ryland
and Morgan you know they came over and helped them because if Garrett would
have gone to that next place the exact same thing would have happened the exact
same thing would have happened and this is probably happening to you and this is
why I like to give you some context with you know the content that you're already
watching because you might be doing this in your life and we we all all of us
even me I know like enlightened individual like all of us struggle with
this thing called self-awareness we don't understand what the problem is we
don't understand what the issue is like so many of us think well if this just
changed then things would be better right if I just had a new house things
would be better if I just had a new job things would be better if I just had a
new relationship things would be better if I had more money things would be
better or if I had a kid things would be better like we always think that there's
this thing that is going to fix us but we need to realize is that thing we have
to fix it from the inside out then the other things can help us you know just a
long just icing on the cake here's what I mean by that so a lot of us out there
hate our jobs like I hated every single job I had hated it with a passion right
but I remember like as I got older and I was working on my mental health I
remember sitting back and just kind of analyzing my life and saying like okay
what are the odds that every place I work is just terrible right like a lot
of us think that like what are the chances that every single job we have is
terrible weight not only is every job terrible but every job we have the
coworkers are terrible every job that we have that managers are terrible every
job that we have the orders are terrible at what point
sit back and say ha maybe I'm the problem
so again like don't think that just switching jobs is going to solve all
your problems like that's why I try to encourage you guys to embrace these
things turn towards them and work on them if not you're just going to run
into the same problems like I'm letting you know right now no matter what job
you go to there's always gonna be another Becky in accounting right who's
just talking crap behind your back
it doesn't matter there's always gonna be another Bob the shift manager or
whatever there's always going to be another one that's one of the reasons
that's one of the reasons I never get off social media like I can do a whole
nother video about this please stop giving me ideas cuz I'm making too many
videos how just getting off social media for most the time it's just useless
because like if you can't if you can't handle you know people disagreeing with
you on the Internet how you handle like the people in your life like your mom
your dad your sister your brother your co-workers you know what I mean so like
the Internet is a great practice ground to see if you could just deal with
people who have different views and opinions as you like that will help
build up resilience but I'm getting off track now so bring me back like quit
running away from your problems don't think that this new job is going to fix
you right like how many of you are just sitting at a job and you're just like oh
man I can just get this other job and sometimes it's the money sometimes it's
the money like so many of us we are funny I was just talking about this on
this old story from Buddhism called The Hungry Ghost I actually have a video
called The Hungry Ghost that you should go check out but the thing is is that
we're never satisfied so say for example like some of us were like you know what
if I just made more money then I would be happy so you start the busted butt at
work he's a working working working working working right and then all of a
sudden you get a raise and you're like yeah I got that raise how long does it
take for you to be like you know what they're still not paying me enough right
like once we realize that we have this this issue that's part of the human
condition where nothing is ever enough we start to realize oh wow this is
something I need to work on it's not how much money I'm making it's not how the
job is you know it's me is this this need for more right so the idea the
other instance of this and running away from your problems is relationships some
of you watching this are bouncing from relationship to relationship like
madness right because you keep thinking he is the problem or she is the problem
like I have to tell you like this is why I stayed single for a year and a half
right because like I realized that I was part
of the problem I wasn't just
for women because it's easy for us to get in that self-pity I'd be like oh my
god what was me like why can't I just find a good woman or why can't I just
find a good man like again just like the job situation at what point do we take a
step back and say huh maybe I'm bad at relationships like this again like I
hate to bring it up again but that's why you gotta break down an inventory that's
why you gotta look at your fault your flaws your character defense you got to
look at this stuff and say oh wow maybe I wasn't the best boyfriend wow maybe I
wasn't the best girlfriend maybe I wasn't the best employee like going back
to the job situation is it possible that your boss was giving you a hard time
because you always showed up I try to teach you all to like look inwards and
see like what your part was what did you do right because again I will say this
until the day I die it is a lot easier for you to fix you than it is to think
that you're gonna fix the rest of the world so how can we work on ourselves
how can we work on ourselves to deal with the rest of the world so this is
why we need to quit running away from our problems and start embracing them
because every single time you do that you get a little bit stronger like think
about the freedom you'll have from not running away from your problems anymore
and just facing them head-on and dealing with them like a frickin
boss like it's it's amazing it's empowering and that's what I want all of
you to do like I get it is scary but one of the ways I kind of psych myself up
this is like what's the worst that's gonna happen what's the worst that could
happen if I don't run away from this and I just deal with it I'm gonna have
feelings you're just feelings okay
nobody in the history of mankind has died specifically from feelings you're
going to be okay and if you're not okay guess what you got an entire community
