- Um, yeah, so I got sick, as you do. And it made me hate all my creative projects and hobbies. 💥More below!⬇
So what does that mean? Exercise is necessary?! Good diet, necessary?! Oh no ...

![This Is Not A Hobby Video (But You Can Listen While You Hobby)!! [Ep. 77]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QyDd4IHydFI/mqdefault.jpg)
Dude, hang tough.
One thing that sets you apart from most other channels is that you’re real. Your feet are on the ground, and you are clearly human. I am wishing you a quick recovery. I am glad that you have discovered a new path that will lead to actual health care (proactive), and relying less on sick care (doing things only when there is an acute need).
Your real life video still has a strong resonance with me. Be well.
Thank you very much! Yep proactive vs reactive is tough for me to be but I know it’s the way. 🤙🍻
Even in a fever dream you are more inspiring that the average human.
Get well old Master, the World may not need your insights, but your fans does enjoy the Hell out of it.
Like a sick Lama Dalai once said, "Don't forget to drink your Nama-Nestlé." *gong noise*
🤣🙏🏼🏴☠️😈
Mate, videos like this lift your channel from a simple hobby one to life coaching
And you’re onto something, I’m a mental health nurse. We’re always trying to get people with low mood to be more active. It really helps
I loved the unedited nature of it too
Felt like I was watching a friend chatting away
Awesome, thank you, much appreciated! 🍻🙏🏼
persistent health concerns do in fact mess with ones mental health. Glad to see you're weathering your health problems well, and are taking it as an invitation to both accept help and also see it as an opportunity to try some new ways of doing things.
Thanks! Gotta keep the struggle going lol one way or another 😈🍻
Hope you're feeling better soon, we'll be here when you are. Love your rambles, they're always fun.
Thank you kindly!
I am running parallel with you here mate! You are preaching the truth. Being born naturally healthy definitely comes back around on you.
Oh man well I wish us both luck in the final run lol! And also I got my full PDF from the Torch And Shield Kickstarter, so freakin cool! Really looking forward to the physical book! ⚔️🏴☠️🍻
I was coming out of a round of Covid about a year ago. On day six of being wiped out I tried to stand up and immediately tipped over onto the mattress. I ended up with a bout of vertigo that all but made me crawl for around five days. It was absolutely miserable. Welcome to the dark side of aging, my friend.
I heard that last line in Darth Vaders voice lol. 😂☠️
Hell to get old. Chicken soup does wonders for body and soul, along with sleep! Glad your feeling somewhat better. And, yes, when my blood sugar is under control I have more energy drive and enjoyment of what I do.
You just described the issue I have with the cycles of my chronic illness sapping all my motivation for projects, and all the starts and stops really mess with mental health as well. Your story about the rowing machine reminds me that when I had a vertigo episode years ago, biking home from work (because it was impossible to work with it) was fine, while sitting or laying still was when I felt the vertigo the worst. I have mild vertigo occasionally, but thankfully nothing like that time
Gotta be tough, jeez. I wish you best of luck carrying the fight! And yeah I can row or drive lol but standing/walking is when I feel it the most. 🏴☠️
Is this one big fever dream?😀 I like the idea of creating your health goals with the idea of how it will improve the things you love to do in life. Take care of yourself and Happy New Year
Lol I believe it is! 🍻
Happy New Year, Ignatius.
A few years ago I was diagnosed diabetic. I started exercising, made some diet changes... and it was soooooo hard.
Some days it still sucks to keep up that motivation, but it has helped. I got more creative again, which ultimately led me to discover this channel, among many other changes.
Thanks for bringing it up. Hope you feel better.
Thank you! Yep building new healthy habits has gotta be one of the hardest things. Best of luck managing that diabetes, seriously. My nephew has it at the age of 10 and I just don’t know how I’d deal with it. Head up, game on!⚔️🏴☠️⚔️
I was diabetic as well. Had ketoacidosis and nearly died. I cut out high-fructose corn syrup and I fare much better now, without medications even :)
@@tabletopalchemy my doctor is very happy with how I've been doing the last four and a half years.
I feel your pain, friend. SWMBO and I flew to North Carolina to spend the Christmas Holidays with family and to spoil the grandkids and instead were struck down by some sort of flu/ respiratory/ death virus. We were down for 10 days. Been there, done that, hated it. Glad that you are feeling better!
Yep was a doozy! Glad you’re feeling better too lol! 😎
Another great video, bringing up topics not discussed often enough.
I think creative approaches to preventative healthcare might help a lot of us artistic types:
1. Maybe starting a dream journal to help cultivate lucid dreaming capabilities will help motivate us to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night.
2. Perhaps martial arts training (shadowboxing, sparring, weapon training) will be a fun way to get some cardio in everyday.
3. There is a possibility of using our creative impulses to fuel ideas for interesting, healthy recipes (maybe those bean, cheese, and salsa burritos can be boosted with some grilled vegetables (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms) and some lean protein sources (chicken breast, fish, or maybe even cricket protein, etc.).
Wishing you all the best this year! Good luck with the recovery and please continue being awesome!
Awesome ideas! Thank you and much appreciated 🤙🍻
Sorry your sick, man. Get better soon!
Glad you are on the mend.
Way to power through, and get some introspection in at the same time. Happy New Year!!
Gotta love that cup and a... 6? year old reference :p
Oh man fuck vertigo. I had probably the same thing you described for over a year. It's like being seasick. Get well soon!
Exactly! And I get seasick on boats when they’re in the harbor lol! 🍻
Good luck. I hope you feel even better soon.
Thank you! 🍻
Nice message, sorry you had to get sick first. Glad that you're getting better. Now, go make a thing and enjoy yourself again.
Well thank you lol copy that!
Happy New Year! While our opinions on burritos may differ I have nothing but respect for the work you do to bring us joy with your ''fly by the seat of your pants'' style of videos on almost any topic known to man, sometimes even tabletop games. And please take care, as a fellow sufferer through one of those viruses I can only say that they royally suck... errrrrm... the last part of ones body that goes through the door...
So all the best, and may this year be filled with fun mishaps, weird ideas, great photo-shoots and exciting tabletop sessions!
lol thank you much, I dig all the stuff in this comment 😂🍻🤙🏴☠️⚔️
Thank you for this. I've had some concerns recently, and this helped me feel a bit better. I have come from the other side and getting the mental effort to do even things I want to, has been a constant struggle. This is in line with what I was planning, but it's nice to know I improve doing things I want and need to do.
All right well best of luck dealing with life (right?), let’s tackle it all together! 🤙🏴☠️🍻
Sometimes you think best when you have something going on. When I am sick I find myself thinking only because it does not make my head hurt. Otherwise I just sleep. Over 5 years ago I had a stroke. Thank my lucky stars that it was not a severe one. After a long recovery I was able to speak normally again. All of my docs told me the same thing. Take your meds eat right and exercise. I eat better now I get on my stationary bike and get in a few hours of aerobic/cardio a week. Not to mention some walking and most importantly my hobbies. It is amazing what getting into something healthier gives a guy like me in his late 50's. The creative juices flow and even if I lost some of my brain. I can still do my job and more. I would be lost if I could not do my audio work anymore.
Yep, I’ve gotta get on that cardio bandwagon one way or another. Glad you recovered!
@@tabletopalchemy I may not be able to do the speed speech I used to do. Now it's different and I found a few advantages to what I have now. Sometimes a curse becomes a blessing.
@andrewluchsinger this is often the way
Happy New Year, my dude. Glad you're over the flu and headed on a good path with your health. Cheers!
Thank you sir much appreciated! 🤙🍻
I hope you get better sooner.
I can not believe i missed this episode, but i feel your pain on the eating right and working out.
It’s been going ok so far lol (I’m surprised I haven’t failed to keep up with it)! 🍻
Get Will Soon! Be Safe, Be Kind... to yourself.
Haha, I love how all over the place this episode is. Good points too, including how good that broth is. Glad you're on the mend and Happy New Year!
Lol, thanks. 🤙🍻
Happy new year! Hope you and Rowan have buckets of good health 🐰🦴
lol thank you Zumi! Buckets …😂
I think the word your after at 13:40 (ish) is mitigate.
Glad your on the mend, and yeah the link between mental and physical health is really under appreciated.
Aha yes thank you lol! 🍻
When I was sick between Christmas and new year, I made the mistake of looking at my minis. I hated everyone of them and was convinced all the compliments I got were people just humoring me. Now that I'm better the minis look fine. Crazy, but lessen learned: no hobby gazing while fluey.
Lol yup, no fluey decisions! 🍻
Mind-Body Connection - they're it's two-way communication :)
I've had health problems off and on my whole life. By all rights I should be dead lol. Depression has a been a bitch for most of my life too heh
"The power of a name" though eh :D
Happy New Year, Ignatius!
Thanks! And yep “mind over matter” given a run for it’s money lol - head up, game on I suppose is the only way to go. 🏴☠️
I hope you get well soon.
Much appreciated!
Because you’re sick (I mean physically), I listened to this entire video, but you were going to get a scathing comment if you did not give us the name of that bone broth. Fortunately, you saved yourself by not only giving us the name, but for us visual buyers, showing us the box. Good job, Sunshine!
Hope you feel better. And happy 2024. Best wishes.
😂 I legitimately worried about that by the end lol! 🍻
Get well dude. I have found that walking seems to help me get ideas for gaming projects, and it builds up my motivation. I think there are two factors at work here. The first is that it is kind of slow exercise. I am just walking, and I think it gives me time to think about what I could be painting or the games I could be playing if I weren't walking. The other factor is the stimulation from the activity of walking. My heart is pumping blood to my brain and I can sort of look at my surroundings. This is where we can find inspiration in simple things
This is very good 👌 exactly right. Now … damn I need to go walk. And I have a *ridiculous* aversion to “just go for a walk” lol.
Glad you got a handle on it man. Life knocks us down every now and then and saps our will to do fun stuff. Cheers for getting back up and getting into some good habits to keep that vertigo manageable. Now that you're rowing, is it too soon to insert a "stroke! stroke! stroke!" joke here? :)
Lol never too soon! 🤙🍻
I just found you and I'm already a huge fan!
Well, that’s awesome, thank you very much! 🏴☠️🍻
It’s quite extraordinairy how «proper food», or «not too much junk and a slightly larger dose of good food» together with physical exercise and daylight can generate energy and positive thoughts - but if one does not try it one never finds out :)
Very very true!
Next time, make sure to use your inspiration on that con save! Now having said you are going to exersize, you should get a fit (preferably swole) friend to record the intro for your next video, and have him lip-sync your voice, and finish the intro with "What? I told you guys I was going to start working out!"
🤪
Lol now that’s some UA-camr thinking right there! 😈
I hope you get well soon
Thanks, much appreciated!
yeah, when I get sick and/or exhausted my motivation takes on the aerodynamics of a cow launched from a catapult, "Pull" ... "Moooooo" ... Splat.
However, that being said, I can say physical exercise usually helps focus my thoughts into a direction without running in endless mental circles (you know, those British roundabouts sans actual exits)
hummm, Bone broth delirium ... now with Mushrooms!
Lol yes all of this. Damn missing exits. 😂🍻
I feel like illness during holiday break is becoming an annual thing. I am too sick and though not quite the same illness as you, I noticed my digestive system was woking double time. The vertigo could be an inner ear issue, you should get that checked out......well I guess you you already found that out! Should have watched the whole video first. On another note, my wife suffers from chronic depression and anxiety and the comment you made about people having to live within a negative health rings home, it effects a lot things.
Yep I guess one other thing I’m always thankful for when getting sick on holiday is at least it’s not interrupting work lol.
For no reason, here's one of my favourite spray cheese facts: In Quebec at least in the past they had a version called... Fromajet. ;'-)
So much better marketing.
Oh man, you’re right lol that’s a great name! 😂
I didn't realize mushrooms had bones.
😂🤣👍
Lol neither did I 😂☠️🍻
You got back up my friend that’s a good , and I also seem to be more motivated if I exercise some ( the less I do the less I want to do 🤷🏼♂️ . Get well soon looking out for more silver bayonet goodness.
Awesome, and thanks - more SB coming up!
It's good to hear the Doc had some answers for you.
Bone broth you say, if you can find you some REAL chicken or beef stock and not the watered-down crap from the grocery store. Call a nice/good to high-quality restaurant that makes their own and see if you could buy some. You'll never go back to broth. Don't worry about the "not the video" you intended to make thing. I am coming here to peak in on your experience and not some arbitrary recommendation of YT. Take care and we'll see you in a few.
Thank you, much appreciated! 🍻
Glad you are on the mend and got some answers about your vertigo! Getting older suuuuuuuuucks, but at least we get to accrue awesome experiences to share with each other! 💜
Well said!
No, no, no. Fried Spam, scrambled egg and pepper jack cheese. That's a burrito.
😂 insanity!
Most doctors are just going to tell you to exercise and eat better. Seems pretty easy to skip the co-pay and just do that, or, if not easy, cheaper. Had the Xmas crud also, PITA, everyone got internet gift cards this year.
lol internet gift cards, yep 🍻
A buddy of mine at work had a little vertigo after he climbed to the top of one of our 40' tall free-standing ladders today, and I am so glad he was able to get back down on his own because I don't know how we could have got him down from there. Vertigo is dangerous. Hope you get normal soon. Doesn't bone broth cause vertigo?
Glad your buddy got off that ladder too holy cow 40’! I wouldn’t have made it up there with or without vertigo lol. And if bone broth causes vertigo … dammit 😐😂🍻
Appreciate this video as it hits close to home. I suffered a serious bout of Vertigo in November, first time ever in my life. I'm 57 years old. I too looked up remedies online and tried the head movement exercises thinking I had a bit of calcium in a canal. That was not the case. I believe I had an inner ear virus as well. It took about 6 weeks but mine has finally abated. I am curious; however, what where the exercises the doctor suggested you try?
By the way, been a lurker since you opened the channel. Very much enjoy your content. Thank you for what you do here.
Thank you, glad you enjoy the content! So yes the exercises my doc gave me are different from the Epley maneuvers (the Crystal relocation thing). They are very simple but can strengthen the symptoms momentarily but they are working really well for me so far. The first one is to put a cross mark in something like a chopstick, hold it out in front of you and turn your head from side to side while keeping eyes locked on the cross mark. Up to 1 minute at a time, 20 min per day. The goal is to increase your head swivel speed as fast as you can while maintaining eye lock on the mark. The 2nd exercise is just simply walking while looking 90 degrees one way for three steps then 90 degrees the other way for three steps, swiveling back and forth every 3 steps. So this for 2 minutes a few times per day. Then repeat but look up and down vs side to side every three steps.
@@tabletopalchemy Okay. I do walk regularly and did walk while suffering the vertigo. I can see how those exercises would help. I would try and focus on a spot in the distance and that seemed to have some benefit. I'm just happy it's gone. Hope your ends soon.
Happy New Year. I'm still waiting for 2016 to end...
Peace.
😂
You have a great point, but i think you should consider something else with it. And that is our age, as we get a little further from our birthday our bodies start to show a little "wear and tear". We need to compensate for that, and i think that the more important thing is the fact that you now have the chance to do it before it becomes a real chore. Like when the Dr. says that you can no longer eat something or other. Hope that you get to feel better soon... Best wishes from Mexico XD
Excellent point! And muchas gracias! 🍻
Age definitely plays a part in many of these things that suddenly start to show up, soon hitting 50 myself, no major illnesses or chronic stuff along the way, then suddenly my eyes stopped focusing on things held close when wearing glasses, have to put them on my head to look at things *reeeeeeally* close instead, upper arms suddenly stiff and creaking and aching in the morning, sliiiiightly worse balance than before (but still able to skateboard) - but all of that showing up within a year. Getting some more movement exercises targeting those arms going helped a bit with the aching so probably gonna have to do some more of that - never to late to improve on things :)
@@AndreSjoberg get some elastic bands and try some "tension" exercises. I have been having troubles with my neck and left arm muscles, since the past year. and that thing really helped.
@@tabletopalchemy we are reaching the age where you can get a serious amount of pain by "sleeping wrong". Not by climbing the everest or breaking a world record... back pain just for sleeping in a bed -__-
Never too late! 🍻
Miniature wargaming, now brought to you by bone broth.
More bones for the bone broth gods! 😈
