10 HABITS that got me out of ROCK BOTTOM

[@SzatStrength]

I hope some of these habits/tips can help you with your mental health!

[@Poli5h5au5age]

Something that has helped me a while ago and continues to apply; 1. Jordon Peterson: Maps of Meaning lecture series. 2. Jordon Peterson: Biblical lecture series Both are free on KZbin and only require you to listen. Life changing information, everyone I meet that is struggling I recommend they invest the time to watch and listen to them. In fact I challenge people to watch them all beginning to end.

[@bmook019]

Straight to the camera, no selling anything, just concern for fellow humans - this is what’s up Joey 💪

[@Bearded360]

Thanks for being authentic and sharing your past struggles. No one ever thinks guys like you, who seem to be the model of manliness, have any struggles. Appreciate you.

[@SzatStrength]

oh i've struggle big time and I'm sure this won't be the last I just try to get better and grow each time I go through things. Thanks for watching.

[@Eyembig2]

All ten points are so natural, easy, awesome, helpful, enjoyable, and true!! You are an icon of masculine positive life and a role model for men of today. I hope youth will gain growth points from you. You make me proud to share manhood with you in this world Big Coach Joe and continue to motivate and inspire! This video was so important and so great. Hope many men can watch it.

I’ve always liked meditation. I always liked to meditate while I’d be out fishing in order to completely analyze everything about myself and why I am the way I am, or I’d meditate as soon as I get into a sauna, but mainly while I’m alone which is always the best. Kinda helped me with my anxiety and ptsd. Sometimes you don’t need to think of a thing and you just need to breathe, divert your attention to your surroundings and see how much better your mood and energy becomes. I mainly do that, and I tell myself that I’m strong for enduring what I’ve endured in the past every time I get bad anxiety. I’ve got a list of events I’ve been through that are a testament to what I’m able to endure or do.

[@brucemurray8183]

Thanks for opening up about your situation. I am presently experiencing similar condition and have taken a parallel track in my efforts to shed some of the weight (minus the cold showers). I walk in nature almost every day accompanied by my daughter's two dogs, a lab and a golden. They are my therapists. I even find myself talking to them. Long may you run coach.

[@SzatStrength]

lets gooooooo you got this and I'm pumped for you!

[@VenusAdonisYT]

Incredible video, thank you for always being one of the most forthright and transparent figures in youtube fitness.

[@SzatStrength]

just being REAL I appreciate you all so much

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Thanks Coach Joey, anxiety is no joke. I've had panic attacks for over 30 years

[@SzatStrength]

Been there many times, it is no joke for sure!! Lets get through this together.

[@Coover90210]

Wow. That's some uncommon honesty and self-awareness. right on brother

[@nicogallion7776]

Man just now seeing this but more of this type of content PLEASE it really helped. Deep diving into how to step into these habits and which you would prioritize would be sick too

[@dustythejones]

I’m glad to see you doing better. In some of your videos over the last year, I could tell your happiness/excitement seemed very forced. Today, you seem genuinely on fire! Good for you! Be strong and courageous, man.

[@soulshinobi]

Having a video laying out the journaling process would be helpful

[@SzatStrength]

I will be having a guest on to make a video for it =]

[@scooobyj8714]

Thanks for opening up and sharing. It helps to talk sometimes.

[@evanderboynton3057]

Glad you’re doing better. It’s an eternal process

[@SzatStrength]

always, such a process indeed!

[@tyrobinson9089]

Your insights are some of the best on KZbin man. Hope you enjoyed Idaho man! It’s amazing here

[@taylortait1]

Wow man, I love this. You're awesome. I'm glad you didn't die and I'm glad you're resilency is so strong.

[@Poli5h5au5age]

One thing I have learned is that ‘Mental Health’ is a euphemism for Anxiety and Anxiety basically is being overwhelmed by problems in life. Depression develops when the problems you ignore linger. Simplify your life, people get burned out otherwise. Your only one person, you only have so much processing power. Outsource as well to others things you can’t do yourself. Pay attention, stop procrastinating and don’t lie to yourselves and others. ‘Fix yourself before you attempt to fix the world’ -Jordon Peterson

[@SzatStrength]

absolutely I agree!!

[@LatimusChadimus]

Depressed people live in the past and anxious people live in the future. Sometimes you just got to breathe in the now and only think about the now

[@robertmalet956]

THANKS!! I can really relate with this, a lot. It’s good to know other people share these perspectives on life. Man, you said it!!

[@SzatStrength]

absolutely! We in this together!

[@Jordanslifts]

Love this new direction Joey. Binge worthy stuff here.

[@LatimusChadimus]

It is true that you become the average of the five people you spend the most time with. I thought I saw the notification earlier today but I was at work and I totally forgot to check back but I'm here now and I totally support these tips and this channel!

[@matthewhall5307]

love you bro thanks for making this video :)

[@CodyKenny777]

Great video man, I feel like I've visited the 'rock bottom' you talk about and luckily I pulled myself out with a few methods, specifically putting myself in nature, walking more, cold showers, working out heavily and limiting screen time. But now to level up even more I'm going to introduce your other suggestions. Super happy that you're doing better man. Keep going!

[@SzatStrength]

thank you that means a lot and it's cool we can relate!

[@jeremyjarvis8100]

"We the people are social" creatures which make us better in many ways. Interaction makes people happier. Depression isn't a mental illness because it is only temporary. Anxiety hurts but there are many things to mitigate its ill effects or duration. Physical activity is proven to reduce the emotional side of the brain and increase the logical part of the brain and many people feel better afterward just like doing something good makes you and them feel good.

[@hernandezlester]

Thanks for sharing big homie

[@SzatStrength]

thank YOU

[@mrnubbs8965]

Great stuff joe you certainly seem happier. I’d say another huge thing is fixing your diet. So much research is coming out now about how diet severely impacts mental health as well as obviously physical health. Eating low inflammatory, unprocessed foods like just meat and fruit and such can really work wonders and there’s so many testimonies about how low inflammation diets like a carnivore or whole food diet have fixed things from ibs to panic disorders.

[@vio1ent98]

Really really good video bro. Love this

[@Shots_by_patrick]

Wow, I've never been this early before! Some serious shit talked about in this Joey. Always appreciate the open, honest conversation you have with us and some great points here, some I already do and some I'm hoping to implement in my life. Thanks for sharing with us here in the Lion's Den!

[@SzatStrength]

thanks for watching and I appreciate you!!!

[@chattingwithshap8010]

Love this Joey! Super real and great advice. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people is huge on so many levels. There is absolutely no reason to associate with people who make you feel like crap. Thx for posting this. Shap

[@definitelynotnick2454]

This really helped, thank you

[@SzatStrength]

thats awesome it helped!!

[@Benaddicted11trkfbal]

with the first one, I think that's typical of a romantic. the calm, interested, and isolated feeling we get in nature is very nice and something people don't experience enough.

[@carmelquarney157]

I love getting out in nature and like touching live living things with my bare skin. It grounds me and I've read it helps discharge the static electricity in your body that can literally wire you up and cause some bouts of anxiety and depression, don't know about that but it has definitely helped me a tonne. There's a patch of grassy of field like a block from my place and I just do animal flow/primal movement session on there barefoot and it's amazing! I love taking cold showers in the winter so I'm forced to produce heat so I keep warm longer and hot showers in summer so my body is forced to cool me down so I stay cooler longer. When I take hot showers I go just below to burning temperarures... Like it hurts but doesn't harm, if that makes sense. I feel it forces me in an acute sense to overcome this 1 challenge and to calm my mind and tell myself I'm safe, like it's very theraputic and spiritual for me, and I believe these micro stresses help me feel more mentallt stable and like I have control over this 1 thing that I overcame which I believe can help translate into bigger things later on. I think of it like a bout of hormesis.

[@SzatStrength]

Love it! You know what's up and you are crushing it. Keep at it!

[@TheMooStashe]

Thank you very much for the great video Joey. I just found you through Juji's channel and this video really resonates with me. I'm currently 260lbs of fat and I have been sliding downhill ever since I initially thought I hit rock bottom 8 years ago. Just started working out a few weeks ago and been hitting weights in the morning, walking 40 minutes a day and doing cardio in the evening. When you said to start hanging around winners and all that, where do you find those people? I feel silly but I've been stuck to a computer my entire life and have no clue where people meet each other. I feel like most people don't want to be disturbed in their lives so it makes it difficult to interact with anyone really :/ Another huge issue I've always struggled with is food. I'm definitely addicted to all kinds of fast foods and would appreciate any tips. I've started meal preping but, even with food already in the fridge, unhealthy foods are still constantly tempting me (even if there are none in my house). Also, it would definitely be nice to see a journaling video from you!

[@bastardator6229]

Good video! 👍 I think lot of people need to hear this and think about these things. Good job and have a nice day!! 💪

[@PlasmaFuzer]

Good to hear you are in a better place mentally Joey. Great habits to have by the way. I practice a few of those already, but I think I should adopt more of them. Thanks!

Awesome video Joey, I've often thought about keeping a journal but I don't know what I'd write about as a lot of my days, especially when I'm working, are very similar. Hope you doing better mentally and physically now. And I 100% agree with getting out into nature, I love being near water.

[@SzatStrength]

maybe I can get my buddy to do a video for the channel on journaling for us!

Journaling is really hard but i will try my best to do more of it this year

[@LatimusChadimus]

Make a member's button. I'd join ya & support you monthly. I love your videos, your personality and your transparent humility. Definitely get out in nature more. Post meal walking outside is where it's at lol not on treadmills. Force through toes, not a motor hahaha

[@LatimusChadimus]

Been post meal walking since Oct. 8-10-12mins to feel the reduction of bloating&the inflammation response, digestion speed increase, but walk full pad, not heel striking, and nose breathe. This practice is a phenomenal game changer. Glad you brought it up

[@iwilllearneverything]

hey mate, a bit off topic but does your "press protocol" program has whole daily routines or is only about OHP ?

[@kennamustang50]

Really enjoy your channel. You go over several things that I think have scientific backing. Getting out in the open, walking, and getting away from your phone at times. Check out Andrew Huberman's you tube channel. He is a neurobiologist, and opthamologist professor at Stanford. You may find it interesting.

[@randygentry2442]

Depression sucks but the worst thing a person can do is nothing👍👍

[@SzatStrength]

absolutely

[@domepiece11]

How do people incorporate walking in terms of sweat and clothing, weather, etc? Serious question. Because saying walking 10 minutes is easy. But if you are gonna make your work/day clothes swamp a$$, it’s problematic.

[@Geronimo00]

Get outside is right! And scientists say vitamin D has a huge affect on us in many ways. Fighting depression is one.

[@SzatStrength]

getting outside is a game changer

[@LatimusChadimus]

It boosts your testosterone, DHEA and your melatonin production. As soon as the sun is out get up and get outside. 20mins minimum being nearly in the nip for greater hormone benefits. Looking towards the sun (not directly at it) sunrise&sunset for great melatonin production. Sure helps the sleep cycles

[@smbrumbaugh]

You forgot number 11...grow a bitchin' stache. Seriously though, great tips. Getting in nature is WAY up there for me to reset.

[@Abiggavelli]

Did you ever try therapy? And if so, was it worth it?

[@SzatStrength]

Yes if you put the work in and find the right therapist it's amazing, But you have to do the work and find the right person for you.
