yes yes yes yes but everybody who's asking yes there will be an audiobook
format I do not know when it'll probably be around that time but make sure you're
following me on Instagram and Twitter so you don't miss out all right so yeah
anyways go box just came back after months and months and months of being
gone and I might do a follow-up video because some of you found my channel
from an old gear box video I did when he was getting help for his hoarding and
everything like that we're talking about accountability and depression and
everything so I might make a follow-up video to talk about just kind of the
depression aspect of this whole thing but anyways in this video I just want to
talk about you know what we can learn from Garrett Watts actual video so those
of you who haven't watched it yet that'll be linked down below as well but
check it out Garrett Watts is a hilarious dude and friends with Shane Dawson, Ryland and Morgan Adams, Jeffree Star and Andrew Sawicki and I'm glad he's back as always I hope
he starts uploading more again by anyways first thing I want to talk about
before I jump into showing some clips and everything like that is talking
about the importance of sleep like oh my god sleep is so so so important but
there's a balance like for any of you out there who are struggling with
depression sleep alright make sure you are getting your seven to eight hours of
sleep like did you know did you know so what are
the scales that they used to measure depression is called the Hamilton scale
okay so this scale you know there's plus and minus and everything like that and
there's certain things that you could do that will move you up or down that scale
so antidepressant medications on average move you about 1 and a half points in a
positive direction on a Hamilton scale okay so pharmaceuticals move you one and
a half points on the Hamilton scale do you know how much sleep moves you on the
hamilton scale four freaking points baby alright so get your sleep under control
if you can start getting your sleep under control you will begin to feel
less depressed alright it is just science baby but after watching a bunch
of these videos they had some rules to live by like a code of conduct if you're
gonna start doing that it's not touch your phone for the first hour of being
awake go outside every morning you get the Sun you get the oxygen there's
something about like melatonin or skin or something I don't know but they say
it's good all right so that clip right there that clip yes absolutely like
being outside will help you with your sleep so there's a there's an excellent
book as well as a workbook that goes along with it it's called the upward
spiral if you're into like neuroscience and everything like that and want to
learn how to get out of your own depression like pick up this book I'm
currently working out as the workbook that recently came out I'll link those
down in the description below but anyways like if you struggle with
getting sleep like go outside go outside at least once a day like I take a walk
around the block or like Garrett does later in this video like Goss I do some
gardening right maybe you like read books or something do it outside because
what happens is when you get natural sunlight when you get that exposure to
the Sun your bra your body creates natural melatonin
alright so melatonin isn't just those little pills that you could take
melatonin is a chemical that the body actually creates so when the sun goes
down and socially be nighttime it's easier for you to fall asleep so if
you're somebody who struggles with insomnia go outside at least once a day
and if you go for like a brisk walk or something like that you'll also get the
benefits of a little bit of exercise which triggers things like endorphins
serotonin dopamine and all sorts of other stuff
so if you could do one thing a day go for a little walk maybe around the block
or maybe just like down to the coffee shop down the street
rule to accomplish one thing a day that's why so simple why not more
ambitious because really ambitious isn't in my nature and secondly because I
trust the new genie so that's it two things wake up at 5:00 a.m. get one
thing down a day and then at the end of the five days I'll reveal if it was life
changing so let's start day one right now so that clip right there kinda ties
in with what I was just saying yes I absolutely love this idea like one thing
a day like anybody out there who struggles with depression I cannot tell
you the importance of this find one thing a day that will help you write
something that is productive okay and for some people who are struggling with
depression maybe that's just getting up in the bed and taking a shower right
like on my website I just wrote a blog post about like if you're depressed
bathe every day and I just discussed you know getting one goal done getting
something done all right and taking care of yourself is one of the biggest things
right but find one thing so I absolutely love how Garrett talked about that like
in this video I think this is something that everybody should do like right now
if you're watching this video pause this video and think of one thing that you
could do no no no no Matt no no leave a comment down below let me know one thing
one thing you want to do a day to accomplish so something else that's in
that book upward spiral is when you set specific goals and you accomplish them
that will also help create serotonin in your brain which will help to lessen
your depression so find one thing a day all right
whether it is cleaning the house whether it's taking a shower whether it's
brushing their teeth whether it's like whatever it is hanging
out with a friend calling your friend whatever it is find one thing a day you
could do and let me know what it is down in the comments below I know this all
sounds a good joke I really wish it was this is a real thing that sucks
but I have to do every time I need to wake up the thing about this that sucks
and this is just like the obvious thing what a nightmare here's a reenactment of
the escape of a sound that I wake up to when
I do this can I relate to this okay so get this whole thing without setting all
these clocks like just a real quick story and some of you who are in
recovery from addiction you might be able to relate to this so like my my
substances of choice were alcohol and prescription pain pills but one of the
things was I would just sleep through alarm so something I had to start doing
was kind of like what Garrett did in this video like just so I can like you
know get to work himself I was set multiple alarms and everything like that
but now I've been sober for coming up on seven years next week and on my phone
when I have to wake up in the morning like I still set like my alarm to go off
every ten minutes alright and if I have something extremely important to be well
now me and my beautiful girlfriend live together but before that I would like
have people call me and I have my ringer on and everything like that but yeah do
what you got to do to wake up if you're a deep sleeper okay this is dead and
this is why because this one is worn out and I didn't know and because this is an
actual piece of the charge lasting for probably like a couple hours you want to
know what I was gonna do today you know what so in my book rewire your
anxiety I have a few sections already where I talk about the benefits of
having anxiety alright so like something that we have to do if you're trying to
set up a routine like this is like triple check like triple check make sure
things are plugged in make things and make sure things are charged like I
always mess around with Tristan because like she lets her phone get down to like
the red all the time and like it's on below like God even like 70 percent I
kind of freak out a little bit you know what I mean but like if you want to
lessen your anxiety like triple check some things okay sometimes what I do
when it comes to alarms just to make sure it's gonna work I set it for like a
minute from now just to make sure before I fall asleep that everything is like
functioning correctly just touch its 6:38 which but you know okay come on
come on considering how day to win
okay so sorry um today what am i doing so for those of you who didn't know I am
now a certified life coach and something that I try to teach people when they're
working on goals or even their mental health or whatever it is
is accountability right so when we're talking about goals we have to ask how
are you going to keep yourself accountable okay now for some people you
can keep yourself accountable but like in this instance where Garret you know
he slept in and things like that like I would recommend to a person like
okay well your accountability for yourself isn't really working anymore
you need to bring somebody else in on this so all this could be is like well I
usually recommend that people has find somebody else who's trying to accomplish
a goal and just say yo do you want to be accountability buddies right
and then you just check in every day you just check in with each other and you
know like for example let's say what's Andrew in Garrett's case Andrew would
just message him you know that Dan say yo did you wake up on time today
no yes whatever it is right because sometimes we need more accountability
because we can't trust ourselves to do the things that we set out to do so get
yourself an accountability buddy you know you really should get your car
checked out when that flights on there that could be dangerous so I worked in
the car service industry for about six or seven years and I always had people
coming in with that light alright so that little yellow light with the
exclamation point that is a tire pressure warning light alright so always
remember your tires are kind of like hot-air balloons okay when they get hot
they expand a little bit but when the temperature changes they actually lose a
little bit of air and it is a law that all vehicles like after I think like
2003 or 2004 have to have these annoying little tire pucks or something and it
could be very very sensitive because you don't want to get a flat baby so anyways
just do that go to a gas station go put some air in your tires do it you're
welcome you need some air
oh my god oh my god I'm so late oh my god I'm
gonna miss my plane Finn because I'm an idiot
Wow Wow okay now the last thing I want to talk about okay so if anybody out
there struggles with anxiety whatever the biggest tips that I can give any of
you and it's something I'm gonna write about in the book as well but something
that helped me the most is quit causing your own anxiety okay like Garrett
rushing cuz he's about to go on a two-week trip to Japan right he's like
trying to get a sleep schedule sad and he hasn't really flight and everything
like that like do that the day before okay because then you see he's like
rushing to the airport wisk and also you know you might get a speeding ticket
right or you might get in a car accident because you're driving recklessly
everything like that so whatever it was actually the day before that that's when
he was doing the gardening right yeah he was doing the gardening so in that
instance it's time to kind of prioritize things right because sometimes and this
isn't knocking Garrett all right this is just a little tough love for everybody
out there sometimes being an adult is about doing
what we need to do and not what we want to do so in that specific scenario I
would have been like all right I want to do the gardening today but I need to do
the packing all right because missing an international flight is absolutely no
fun at all like my first international flight that I went on my boss actually
missed the flight for a similar reason so anyways like make sure you handle
things like give yourself plenty of time like again we cause a lot of our own
anxiety like if you get anxious about being late leave early okay like I do my
best to try to leave early places so that way if I hit traffic if anything
happens like it's not going to affect me and then like what it helps me out with
is like it helps me out with my anxiety it helps me out with my road rage like
if I was stuck in traffic and people are kind of driving like jerks but I have
plenty of time it does not bother me but if I'm in a hurry now all of a sudden
everybody's it's me off and I want to run people off
the road you know what I mean so give yourself plenty of time especially
especially when it comes to getting to the airport baby all right
but anyways again let me know down in the comments below what is one thing
what is one goal that you want to set yourself for yourself each day for I
don't know the next week the next month that's something I wish girl would have
talked about is like is he going to continue that at least right anyways let
me know down in the comments below what is something small and simple that you
think you can accomplish on a daily basis let's have a conversation down in
the comments below all right anyways make sure you stay tuned because I will
be doing another video talking a little bit about consistency and depression
some things like that in the aspect of you know Garrett Watts come in and go in
