@@paulswanson1794 I also have the same experience with my grandfather who passed in 2014. I was 13 at the time and never got to really talk to him as an adult which makes me sad. I really want to just talk to him now about how he dealt with stuff and advice he could give me. I often wonder what he’d say about something that I’m going through or what his advice would be. He was always in a good mood, and cracked me and my siblings up when he got the chance. I always try to see the good in everything like he did. It’s just hard sometimes, but he’s always in my heart and when you know someone who was that father figure or mentor to you, you take what they taught you and try to honor their memory by seeing the world how they saw it. At least, that’s what I try to do.

[@horationelson8173]

As a man who used to struggle with depression these are the most helpful things I can think of: -Take Risks, don't let the fear of failure stop you from trying something new or something great -Do things that genuinely scare you or that you're afraid of (Even little things like climbing onto a roof and helping to put up Christmas lights if you're afraid of heights or saying something to the cute cashier girl other than "hi" and "thanks") -Pursue an ambitious goal, one that a lot of people don't believe you can achieve (It doesn't even matter if you fail this because no matter what the pursuit of an ambitious goal will make you a better person and give you fulfillment) With that being said, do your best to succeed -Have a passion, basically this means to find a hobby that you enjoy so much that you will spend hours and hours getting better at it -Study history, pick a role model, and then analyze the traits of your role model and list the reasons why you admire them. Then start to emulate these traits in your everyday life and eventually you will become your own role model. -Don't ever quit something just because it's hard (You can quit a crappy job if it's not the right fit for you, but never quit solely based on the fact that something is difficult). Embrace challenges and look for opportunities to improve yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually. -Never put yourself down. Try not to think negative things about yourself and especially never say them out loud. You will think more highly of yourself when you say positive things about yourself, at the very least avoid putting yourself down on purpose. -Live purposefully. Have a direction for your life and if you don't already have one, make one. Decide what's most important to you and live accordingly. If you have a family or even a single loved one, your first priority (other than serving God if you're religious) should be to provide for them, to protect them, and to help them become the best version of themselves -Develop Integrity. I can't even explain how much this increases your self-repsect. Be honest, be trustworthy, don't cheat (unless you're in a street fight) and live with honor. -Find a hobby that you're really passionate about and strive to become a master at it -Finally, probably the most important thing I can say is to think less about yourself. Think less about yourself but not less of yourself. In other words, think about other people before you think about yourself, especially your family and loved ones. If you're focused on helping them with their problems I can promise you that your problems will become less important and less troublesome. Look for opportunities to help others and make them feel better about themselves. Nothing lifts you out of depression better than helping someone out of theirs. I hope this helps. I realize that some people are genetically predisposed to having a harder time with depression, but I believe that there's nothing you can't overcome with a strong mindset. In addition, I strongly believe that going through depression and having such terrible lows actually gives you the capacity to feel even greater happiness and joy. The reason I say this is because when you feel genuine joy after being depressed for so long you can't help but feel grateful. The beauty of life is that we are meant to experience the full range of human emotions, from happiness to anger to jealousy to despair to joy. We couldn't feel genuine happiness if we never knew what it was like to be sad. If I could talk to whoever is reading this face-to-face, what I would say to you would be simple: don't quit. A quote from Winston Churchill kept me going in times when I thought I had nothing left, he said: "If you're going through Hell, keep going." Everything in life can be and is meant to be an opportunity to make yourself better, and depression is no exception. Keep fighting, all of you are descended from warriors no matter what culture or country you are from. You wouldn't be here today if it weren't for the conquering spirit of your ancestors. Live a life that would make them proud. While most of us will not fight in physical wars, no one is exempt from the battlefield of life. Depression can be a battle every single day, every single second in some cases. Keep fighting, it will only get better. And the more you fight, the more you will gain respect for yourself. I've conquered my depression. Every now and then it will start to try and creep back into my mind but I don't let it. I destroy those feelings with action. I go lift weights, I go running, I listen to metal music, whatever it takes for me to regain my confidence. You can conquer depression, no matter how severe it is. That doesn't mean you'll never have days where you feel down, but it does mean that you'll have the strength to push through and do what you need to do as a man regardless of how you're feeling. Stay strong, stay hard, and fight like dragons 🐉 You're going to be very glad you did.

Some years ago I injured my knee and back. Bulging and herniated discs in my lumbar. What’s helped me, aside from good nutrition, is the following: • ATG Coaching (by Ben “kneesovertoes” Patrick) • deep tissue massage/myofascial release • (Upper Cervical) Blair Technique practiced by certain chiropractors I would strongly advise seeking these professionals. They’ve helped me tremendously. Will check back with this comment if you have any questions. Happy to provide other resources and give back.

Keep the faith...I had severe disabling back pain for years and the doctors had no solution other than pain meds. So I did my own research and found a new experimental surgical procedure. Only 2 doctors in my state would perform the surgery and I had to pay cash ($6K) as my insurance would not cover anything experimental. When I awoke from the surgery, the doctor asked me to stand up, and the pain was gone. Miracles DO happen!

[@Drew99GT]

Been dealing with back problems all my life doing physical jobs. Tried everything and have found that the primary cause is emotional stress and anxiety. It’s really weird. When you’re all pent up from stress, at least for me, it manifests physically in the hips and lower back. Worrying about money, relationships, the future. It builds up. Doing basic yoga/ full body stretching, and back stretching twice daily when things flare up pretty much fixes it. Till another bout of stress comes along. Listen to DeWayne. Relax, take care of YOURSELF. Cause you ain’t gonna be no good to nobody if you’re not taking care of yourself. And if other people or circumstances aren’t in line with that? Well…. That’s the problem.

Congratulations, that’s exciting! Honouring the anxiety is definitely a part of the process, but please keep in mind that the anxiety you are feeling is nada in comparison to the anxiety you’d feel staying in a career that you weren’t passionate about anymore. It’s freedom anxiety, but the key word is freedom!! Do not forget this, you are brave and courageous for your decision making!! Wishing you the best of luck! 🥂🥳

Working in a manufacturing field as well. Overworked, overtired, and more overtime as a Christmas gift, gee thanks... I'm a shop worker doing mostly manual physical labor, struggling to meet the demand of fabricators who all have fancy machines that quadrupled their production limits. No one has to work this job, it pays good for entry-level manufacturing work, but we DO have to rest. Too bad our bosses in the office can't see it and can only ask how much more overtime we can work. 12 hour days here as well.

[@MasterNinjaXz]

Fuckin love this man. Been feeling mentally exhausted for a long time. Stumbling. Making mistakes. Been unemployed the past couple weeks, and there’s pressure to get back to working and paying bills, etc. And while exactly what you say is true, you cannot rest for too long, I feel like I’m in a period of needing to rest, and my cousin told me that I should not rush into anything and take my time. And I really appreciated that, and how he just met me where I was at, and encouraged me in that way. I know everyone is on my team even the ones I feel pressure from, including myself in feeling like I’m running out of time and that I have to have shit figured out, which is really just a false pressure imposed by modernity. But it just feels good to see this as well and know that I am the one walking in my shoes and when it feels exhausting you gotta rest.

Still unemployed. Gotta find something soon, been staying up way to late (like 8am late) and I’ve definitely been “just resting” for too long now I guess.

[@fiatchrysler4800]

Thank you for this video. My father passed away over the summer and I've felt so lost and tired since. I also just started college up again and can't tell you how exhausted I feel after everyday. I try to let myself enjoy the free time I have and not worry about things I have to do the next day, but sometimes it's just too much. These videos help a lot, thanks

[@CarolWalker]

Sorry for your loss :( I know how you feel, I’m in graduate school and my mother passed away. It’s tough! Mindfulness works for me, you should try, sometimes I watch stand-up comedy or funny movies too.

[@eg4441]

all i can say is try and respect yourself. i lost a parent a few years ago but i remember that i let myself feel the pain when it was an appropriate time (not out in public or in the midst of a task, for me) and reminded myself that my parent would want me to find things that i enjoy or appreciate. you're not gonna feel happy, not in the same way and probably not for a little while, but i want you to know that'll come back. you learn to integrate the grief into you. it tells you how much you cared about them and serves as a reminder for such. i like to tell myself that we're built to endure grief because we're built to love people. i'm not sure when the lost feeling goes away. it hasn't really left me but i also think a lot of us feel a bit lost trying to navigate life. hope you can get a little bit of direction; it can be as simple as planning what you'd like to cook or buy to eat for the week

[@mermanasmr8566]

Thank you, sir! I ate my first bowl of soup after a week of starvation, because your words showed me - If I don't care about myself and rest, I wouldn't be able to care and give rest to others.

[@Proof-of-Life]

Thank you sir for your wisdom and vulnerability!!!

[@DNS0875]

Thank you Sir. I’ve been blessed to have been raised by parents who’re quite similar to you and Mrs Dewayne. My father grew up in South America and was a ranch vet. But he never sat down, still doesn’t sit down. Thought me and my brother to never sit down. Until I was diagnosed with breastcancer. The cancer has been treated. Two years later I’m still resting. Catching up. Mentally, physically, spiritually. I learn about who I actually am and what my true purpose is, to what service I’m born. Finally there’s silence. I finally allow myself to rest. And in this silence I teach myself to accept, respect and be at service of the Inner Guidance I receive. So I finally learn to sing and perform professionally, after 25 years I study saxophone again, playing in a concert band already. I’ve auditioned for interesting, purposeful roles in films and tv series and always get the parts to my own surprise. It’s the being part of something greater with the goal of creating moments of value, beauty, connection, inspiration, encouragement, consolidation for people who connect with it.

[@Rhi_Bon]

I used to run a small business by myself, just an online store. I’d hand make everything by myself and while I loved it so much, it was utterly exhausting doing that outside of my full time job. After years of dealing with the workload and some truly awful people I decided to take a break. Here I am two years later and have been hesitant to end my “break”, but after watching this I think I’m going to get back on that horse and get back to doing what I enjoy 😊 Thank you for all your wisdom and positivity!

[@dadthemanthemyththelegend3348]

Exactly. Everytime I feel in a funk, Im exhausted. In the past, Id always fight the funk and kept going until I broke. (i wasnt a good father or husband during those times) I never knew I was exhausted (mental and physical and everything inbetween). It took me a couple dacades to get the wisdom to realize I need a rest, and that its not weak to take a rest. Rest is not a boulder in the journey, rest is part of the journey. Love the videos.

[@nataliesoutlet]

[@tomgardner6294]

Thank you for taking the time to share that message. I’ve been exhausted for years. I’ve worked hard and taken care of my family, not me. I accepted the exhaustion as a given and you helped me think differently. Some time in the mountains seems like a good idea and an opportunity to get a little rest. So glad your message came my way!

[@antoniusk8893]

Im a single male, early 20s. I’m currently in the military working as an avionics tech for helicopters. Eight or so hours a day, five days a week, I would say I have better conditions than most, but there are definitely times when the work gets tense or the day feels long or at least very physically or mentally draining, and more often it seems I keep asking the question “who am I doing this for?” All I want to say is thank you for making these videos for those of us who lose their way from time to time, it’s refreshing to hear that someone is understanding of that weight I guess. Also as an Idahoan born and raised people of your caliber are always welcome.

Hey everyone, first of all i want to thank Dwayne for his video, it really struck a chord with me. I've been dealing with a deep-seated fear of talking to people for a while now, a overwhelming anxiety that creeps in every time I have to engage in conversations. In addition to this fear, I took a wrong turn in my early twenties and got involved in crimes, people who didn't deserve it got hurt. It's left me with a heavy heart and a profound sense of guilt. Life in your twenties, fresh out of high school, attending college, can be incredibly confusing, especially when you're lost and unsure of your purpose. I've also suffered significant losses along the way, including some close friends, my girlfriend of six years, and even my beloved grandmother. It feels like life has thrown me into a whirlwind of uncertainty and pain. Today, I'm still on the journey to find some semblance of happiness amidst the struggles. I won't sugarcoat it; I still suffer a lot. I have sleepless nights, barely eat, and find it challenging to enjoy life. But recently, I discovered Dwayne's videos, and they've become a ray of hope for me. When I head to school, instead of being overwhelmed by stress, I tune in to Dwayne's videos, and they work like a soothing balm. His words resonate with me and make a lot of sense. They provide me with a moment of calm in the storm of my daily life. I really wanted to share my experience to let others know that even in the darkest of times, there are sources of inspiration and comfort out there.Thanks to Dwayne and his positive messages, I'm finding the strength to keep moving forward, even when it feels like the world is upside down. So i hope everybody and their family are fine, i hope Dwayne here is fine and his family is alright and wish you all the best. God Bless you all.

I've had gratitude turn to guilt, and then I felt too overwhelmed to work the debt off. Thing is, you actually probably can. You're human. You can definitely forget your shame long enough to do something that makes other people grateful. Then you're gonna snap them out of their gratitude quick enough that they can pay you back, and the rest of the world too. It'll be fine. It'll be great. This is what we do here. It's funny until it's fun, and don't forget that. Rest, for sure.

I needed this today. I was having a couple weeks of greatness and hard work and it all came to the day to present my work and it was a big disappointment. I was proud of my work but I had nobody to present it to. For the last few days I've been really down. I think I may have burnt myself out a little bit. Fortunately some of your talks have helped me to understand how to keep going and get myself out of the ruts. Thanks Dewayne, you're the man

[@MNkno]

The last time I had a couple of weeks with family and nothing required of me was 2011, and in some areas, I am exhausted. You are absolutely right about there being different types of exhausted, and how you rest needs to suit the kind of exhaust you're feeling. COVID had me at home all day every day with about 30 min total online at home, and believe me, staying home was no help because the stress was mental and emotional. (several people I was in touch with were very agitated all day every day). I see the effects that having a good rest produce in other people, and I think a rest would be very welcome and do a lot of good. Dwayne, you do have that rest. It will help and restore you. What I will do from time to time is "vegetate". Vegetables usually don't look like they're doing anything, they're just sitting there.. but a week later, you can see they did make some progress in what they needed to do. I just sit there all day, or for 2 days, vegetating, and in time, things will start to get done again. Vegetate. Sit and bing-watch a TV series on the PC. Or find a coffee shop that doesn't mind, and sit there and read a book from cover to cover. Go out and sit in the woods.

Something always comes up with work, or home life or something. Next year I’ll be starting a new bigger project with work. I am ready for a change, but I need to get away and get ahold of my own self first. I really appreciate your wisdom and the way you explain your thoughts. Have a safe trip and enjoy the rest.
