I think it's a cool like conversation topic it is there are a lot of people in
the community who say things but there's no action yeah girlfriend tristin isn't
even here this weekend so what am i doing sitting around watching a Jeffree
star video anyways which is called
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 sometimes what I do is I watch a YouTube video I'm
like huh that's a cool mental health topic let's make a video about it so I
try to help you with your mental health based on some other stuff that you're
probably already watching anyways so for any of that kind of stuff make sure you
subscribe and ring that notification bow so yeah just watch this Jeffree star
video where he did a collab with Cole Carrigan who is also a makeup artist there's a
good point that was brought up in this and I think we should discuss it and
this is something called slacktivism but if you're somebody who complains or you
know somebody who complains like go ahead and share this video because a
little bit I am going to do a full video about the neuroscience of complaining
this is a super important mental health topic because those of us who complain
or do these things like slacktivism we are actually hurting our own mental
health so it's something that we really need to look at and address before I
jump into this before I jump into this topic I'm like can we take a second can
we please just take a second to like like look at how amazing Cole Carrigan's
like art is like this is like some phenomenal stuff like you know and he is
doing a great job and you know they talked about in this video if any of you
haven't watched like just go ahead and check it out like it's really
inspirational to me because Cole just started in January of this year and he's
already like you know doing a collab with Jeffery star like but he's putting
in the work he's putting in the work I have a new video coming out
which is talking about some of this hustle and you know working hard to get
the things that you want so yeah talking it comes up between Cole and Jeffree Star is
slacktivism this is something that you know I can definitely relate to I can
relate to like if you know you want to know how I improve my mental health it's
a bunch of little things it's a million little things I do every single day I am
the type of person I was the type of person who just sat around whining and
complaining about so many things but I wouldn't do anything about it
oh just sit around complaining watching the news looking on Facebook see what
other people were doing I'm just complaining about it constantly but what
was I doing what was I doing was I lifting a finger like I have a new life
philosophy where I refuse I refuse to complain about anything and that's not
willing to do something about it just something just a little little
something all right because I am NOT going to be a slack of
this I'm not going to be someone who just tries to throw out into the world
and say yo I care about these things look at me but I'm not actually doing
anything so here is a clip where Jeffree Star and Cole Carrigan are actually talking about this
you know I'm not that everyone has to put on you know smaller people like it's
someone's job but if you're gonna talk about the beauty community and it's
being a certain way let's start changing it yeah I don't know I think it is
really important for like you guys and just like bigger influencers to put some
other people on the map like that especially since the beauty industry
kind of is not crumbling but it's going through some right now it was a big
change there is a huge change and like I feel like all these big artists these
big influencers they want to say to their huge platform hey I want to bring
in smaller artists just to make it seem like they care but did they never do a
beauty community but also YouTube as a whole or influencers there's a huge
thing this is a huge thing so something I've been trying to do recently it's
trying to help you a character right and like you gotta
watch people and see if their actions line up with their words because if not
then they are falling into the category of something else I've been talking
about which is virtue signaling just trying to show people look I'm a good
person because I think about these things but just thinking about something
doesn't do squat like until you take an action that's nothing so what you're
talking about there's so many people out there and it's youtubers in general that
I've noticed always talk about building up small creators and doing this and
their smaller owners but they don't do squat so will quit I do want to throw
you know some props to makeup geek she said that she was gonna do this and she
has been promoting smaller creatives there's something Jeffrey's doing as
well he's bringing up smaller creators channel actually doing this we're so
worried about what we're gonna get we're always worried about what we're gonna
get what we're gonna take right so like in these instances Jefferee isn't worried
so much like oh how many how many new subscribers or how many sales can he get
by having coal on his channel no he's just thinking like okay cool
let's put pull on my channel so more people can be exposed to him so like
this is important like some of you know Chuck and he talks about this right how
he does a lot of things for free and not for money right just because they're a
good thing to do but one of the issues like you know with the world and with
you know a lot of people is they only want to do something if they're getting
something in return right so that's why a lot of these people or what we call
slack the best or they just complain about things because they're like oh
well I'm not really getting anything return like not everything is about you
having to get something like you can look on Twitter you can look on Twitter
on any given day any given hour and you will constantly see youtubers you'll
constantly see the youtubers that you follow they're like hey tell me about
some small creators right and then like I watch I follow like I look and study
people because I try to be a good judge of character but if you want to know why
it's because I'm looking at all these things so I see so many youtubers are
we cannot smoke wieners to me and then they do nothing with it they do
absolutely nothing with it they don't tweet out videos they don't ask for
clubs they don't share any of these things so why do they have to know but
it is slacktivism if you're saying like we need to support smaller creators and
then you're not doing anything with it right I could just throwing out the
signal and you're not doing anything with it so like I'll tell you a quick
story like this is actually you know a real story about how I stopped following
somebody so when Bobby burns had his mental health breakdown you know months
ago and he went to New York and this was when Haman Jordan was still together
like this topic of Mental Health blew up for like a day on YouTube and saw a
bunch of people on Twitter like other youtubers saying YouTube we got to do
something YouTube we got to do something to talk more about mental health we've
got to do something and talk more about mental health one of my favorite
creators one of my favorite creators I had absolutely no problem replying to
his tweet and saying look you're talking a big game right now but I can't think
of one time I've seen you share a mental health channel and I linked him to a
bunch of different mental health channels like bipolar pug and Ryan
Liberty and offensive mental health and some other channels so like watch these
people like watch what they're saying and what they're actually doing because
I ended up like unfollowing this guy on social media for a while because like I
don't I can't I can't mess around with people who try to act like they don't do
anything about it so please please please like this is going to help you
with all of the relationships in your life like all of them right this can
help you with your co-workers with your friends with your families like do they
just sit around and talk or we should do this so we should do that like just
sitting around talking about all the great things you could do but not doing
them is a huge issue I've mentioned this before and I'm going to do more videos
on on this the midterm elections are coming up and some of your states they
already have early voting like how many of us sit around complaining about
things but not even going out there to vote like it blows my mind that you have
like probably I'd say 80 to 90% of people complaining about things but look
at voter turnout rates right like think about it
because if you're not part of the solution you are part of the
problem and this is just take this with a grain of salt this is my opinion
like if you want to sit there and say like oh my vote doesn't matter my vote
doesn't count like that's all you like I said for me for my mental health I
refused to complain about anything unless I'm going to do something about
it so if I have a problem with with laws with regulations with mental health care
with any of these things like if I don't go out there and vote then I'm part of
the problem so like if you're hanging around people who do this like so
cutting these people out of your life like I hope I hope one of your goals
going into 2019 it's trimming out the fact of your life right just one by one
mixing people like this is a great a great New Year's resolution but it all
starts with started to recognize what people are talking about and what people
are actually like doing right so try to hang around people who not only talk to
talk but they walk the walk but this is also to help you like so many of us we
just look around at other people and we judge them that's why I pull in
different youtubers and stories that are going on in pop culture because it's so
easy for us to sit around and judge everybody but like what I had to do was
I had to start looking on myself like oh wow
am i doing that too like it's really easy it's really easy for me to sit
around and complain and judge other people but like what am i doing and to
be honest one of my biggest fears is being a hypocrite alright so if I'm
judging somebody for something else what am i doing am i doing the same thing
because like what I actually wrote some stuff about other people I was doing the
exact same stuff right so like I would be complaining about this person lying
to me but I was lying to other people in my life you know what I mean I would
complain about that person being lazy and what aspect of their life but I was
being lazy in other aspects of my life you see what I mean so like I hope that
you're you're understanding what I'm saying like don't just what about
talking about these things like put in the work do something about it right
like that's why I always say we talk about the problem but focus on the
solution like you are subscribed to the wrong Channel
the wrong Channel if you just want to come to my channel and in the comments
just talk about your problems and have no action steps that's one of the
reasons I started the Facebook group and I see the people in there who want to do
something and want to improve they are not being slacktivism planing they are
putting in the work and doing something about it like Christine I were just
talking about this I'm not telling you to go out there and do everything I just
want you to do one thing one thing anything I don't care what it is any
little thing I've seen people in the comments over the past week complaining
about things and I said here join our Facebook group and they're like nah I
don't do Facebook like I'm just letting you know if you're one of those people
your complaints go in one of my ears and right out the other
I don't have time for that alright but anyways I'm gonna make this about you
not everybody else in your life what is things that you have complained
about in the past or currently but you haven't done anything about and what are
you going to do about it okay so let's have a conversation down in the comments
below anyways for this video if you like this video please give it a thumbs up if
you're new make sure to subscribe and notification a huge thank you to
everybody supporting the channel over on patreon you're all amazing if you would
like to help support the channel and help me spread a message of hope when it
