and I the only one out here wondering where the hell is Shane Dawson what is
up 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 them for topics from the
YouTube community it's trying to teach you how to improve your mental and
emotional well-being so the end of that make sure you subscribe and bring that
notification bell so yeah today's video is about the wonderful shane dawson who
hasn't uploaded a video in like two months and like for me i this thing i
mentioned you know one of Garrett wants videos is that I don't like to subscribe
to people who do not have consistent uploads but this is not a hate video on
Shane Dawson this is actually a video about taking breaks mental health breaks being
a workaholic and all of that so what i'm gonna do i'm going to show you a clip
from Shane's instagram story from the other day that i can really relate to
and really connect with and basically shane said that this instagram story the
reason why he made it was because of this or thinking it because i saw a
comment or it wasn't even a comment it was like a tag it's like a like opinion
or whatever and it was icon she's leaving youtuber oh he doesn't care
about youtube was like no i care so much that i just it takes me longer to make
it so anyways i just wanted to say that i don't want you guys to think i don't
care or that I'm not posting because I don't care or because I'm not doing
anything because I promise I am and we already have the next three series I
guess lined up now before I jump into this
before I jump to the into this we are just about to hit Christmas and I know
so many of you out there wondering like oh my god what can I get Chris for
Christmas I don't know he makes so many videos and they're so awesome you know
what all I want for Christmas is do you know all I want for Christmas is for you

follow me tell your friends tell you tell your mom your dad your grandma your
cousin on Christmas Eve dinner tell everybody to go follow me over at the
rewired soul on Instagram but anyways back to the topic at hand I'm gonna play
this clip from Shane Dawson it was actually like a little over three
minutes but I'm gonna show you pretty much the
first half and we're gonna talk about it hey guys okay I'm starting to feel
really antsy because I haven't posted in so long I know this is so crazy it's
only been two months oh my god sorry I just got this actual chills when I said
that never gone that long without posting so but I just want you to know
that we are working on stuff sorry I'm like nervous I'm like I don't know I
just I it's a good test for me because I mean you know I've been posting videos
for 10 or more years very consistently I used to do everyday
oh my sorry triggered so this is good this is this is a good test for me
because this next year I want to spend more time on the individual projects and
then take time in between and then like you know I don't know I just want to
like treat my YouTube channel kind of like if I had my own I don't know like
the way that they do like Netflix that sounds gross but you know maybe not like
I think I'm Netflix I'm not Netflix what am I talking about so yeah a while back
when Shane and Ryland Adams first moved into their new house or they were about to
move I can't remember which one it was but they were they were talking about
being workaholics Shane was talking about being a workaholic actually it was
before they moved in and I could definitely relate to that like those of
you who have been subscribed to me for like more than a week you know that I
hustle I work hard right so Shane like I remember when Tristan first introduced
me to Shane he was doing like daily uploads they were like daily right like
Monday through Friday yeah he was doing like daily uploads my son loved watching
it too is when he was doing like food things like trying like packs and all
that so like I was used to consistent uploads from Shayne but as
you've seen he's pivoted and I'm gonna make another video about him probably in
a few weeks just about his his transformation on YouTube because I
think a lot of people can benefit from that but I can definitely relate to what
Shane's talking about when he's saying like he's actually like getting anxious
and nervous when he's talking about how he hasn't posted in two months real
quick if you look at this video right here I just want to show you a little
body language real quick right here him rubbing this is usually an unconscious
thing that we're doing and it's the pacifier herself like that's how you
know somebody who's nervous or feeling anxious alright so I thought it was
pretty interesting like you know you could tell that he's actually feeling
anxious about not working but anyways like basically what Shane
goes on to say is that you know what he's planning for like 2019 and you know
the next series that he's going to do like you guys saw like the Jake Paul
documentary and and like everything that Shane's been doing he's been learning
and growing from it right like I I'm sure some of you who are Shane Dawson
fans have seen like the growth between his Tana Mongeau documentary the little
three-part one - where he was with the mind of Jake Paul white just a massive amount of
growth right so I really look forward to seeing that but like what I want you to
take away from what Shane's doing right now is like if you are workaholic like
something I've been talking about is mental health breaks alright now
something I've talked about with like Lilly Singh and some others who are
taking mental health breaks is like when you're taking a mental health break make
sure you're doing something with that mental health break alright like a lot
of people just take a mental health break right and they don't do anything
they just sit around they don't do anything and Shane what Shane's been
doing this he's been spending a lot of time with ryland like throughout the
Jake Paul documentary series like they talked about how you know like Rylan was
going to sleep and Seamus staying up all night editing and part of what they were
talking about after the documentary ended was that they were spending a lot
more time together so this is something that is definitely beneficial for your
mental health and what I want you all to know like any of you who are like in a
relationship like it's about finding that that type of balance like I have my
amazing Tristen so the only on the couch right now and something I
try to do which I'm not always great at is try to like find designated time
let's just say okay I'm just gonna sit down let's watch some Netflix or do
whatever you know what I mean um same thing with my son I just took my son
back home I scheduled some time to just sit there and watch him play the new
spider-man game by the way have you guys played the new spider-man game yet
because it is phenomenal alright but I find myself dealing with
that same issue where if I'm not just go go go go go like I start to get anxious
that's the way my workaholic brain is that's one of the reasons why I do so
much content it's one of the reasons like as my channels growing a lot of you
I've seen a lot of people saying like do you heart every comment like yeah when
I'm just chilling like on the couch or whatever I'm just like refreshing the
comments and seeing what you guys are saying and like all hard it'll like it
sometimes I play or whatever like I want to be very engaged like something I'm
trying to do is make sure that I always stay connected with you guys like as
this channel continues to grow I don't want to lose that connection and lose
Who I am and lose what I'm trying to you know do here but at the same time I'm
very mindful of my mental health okay so something that I often tell like my
fellow creators when they're talking about being overloaded or being stressed
or whatever I give them some of my tips so those of you who have been following
my channel you know I post pretty much daily right and lately I've been posting
like two videos a day like one in the morning one of the evening alright but
I've never promised anybody that and the reason I do that is so I have wiggle
room like if I'm having a bad day if my depression is if my anxiety hits if an
emergency happens or whatever like I can take that time off but I also feel
confident in my channel being fine because I'm such a back catalog so if
people find me they have plenty of other videos to watch this is something I see
with a lot of youtubers is that they're afraid that they're going to lose
subscribers if they don't post they they think that if they take a break the
algorithm is going to punish them but actually let's take a look at that Shane
Dawson hasn't posted in two months let's see if that if that theory is true but
look at this you guys going back to like November look 38,000
55,000 scroll down a little bit more he's still getting thousands upon
thousands it looks like he lost some with their little YouTube perch but then
look boom right back up you guys if any other youtuber is watching this video
shane has just proved that you can take a break and still gain subscribers are
you guys following me right now so get that insane idea out of your head
that you cannot take a break oh my god this is amazing I'm going to start
showing this video to every single youtuber who ever says they're afraid to
take up mental health break this is great but for some of you who aren't
youtubers like a lot of people are afraid that you know you'll get behind
on work or you won't have a job when you get back or the whole business will come
little pieces and all of these other things if those are topics that you want
me to dive more into let me know but I do want you to take a look at your
mental health are you overworking yourself are you
somebody who gets anxious if you're not doing something like are you having
trouble finding that work-life balance let me know down in the comments below
okay anyways that's all I got for this video if you like this video please give
it a thumbs up and please please please for a Christmas present please go follow
me on Instagram and tell everybody else to do the same all I want to do is be
able to swipe up but a huge thank you to everybody support the channel over on
