I been feeling this for so long.. deleted instagram and Snapchat a year ago! I stay away from new and everything overwhelming because then I feel like this earth is to much to handle. You still keep looking when yk you shouldn’t. Thank you for this
The apps are not the issue. How the user uses them is the issue. A simple hammer can give you a rush if you smash something. That does not mean the hammer is wrong if someone uses it to smash everything they own in an attempt to get a high. Let's be real, a certain political demographic has spent the majority of their adult life trying to change the world through apps. Only for them to figure out after they are much to old, that reality is alot different than the isolated social circles they have occupied. This explains all the grown children with no moral compass who have taken to rioting and intimidating behavior in order to explress their political views, rather than acting like adults and trying to change things in a productive way. Children throwing tantrums in the streets because their digital bullying, gaslighting, and blatent manipulation tactics have failed. Well now they are failing in the real world and they do not like it. Hence the onset of depression and anxiety. Try living your life with an open mind and open heart. Try living your own way while accepting other peoples way of life. Want others to be free and happy, and you will find freedom and happiness in your own life. 😉
@@villav1191 Did like 8 times on this video. 😊 This helps spread good info better than just an original comment, that usually gets pushed to the bottom and missed... Cheers!
@Zero One Exactly man. Following the horrible stuff in the world sort of makes you feel a responsibility for it; to keep following the stories, and to feel responsible like you could help but you're not doing it. You're right our brains aren't capable of handling it all without crashing or causing pointless extra stress. Ig I don't wanna go out of my area where I kinda know what i'm talking about, but its almost like our brains were not meant to care about things on a scale this big. Idk it's really weird.

@@thatman4752 i comepletly agree with you, there are certainly many benefits to not only youtube, but internet as a whole. Regulating between instant pleasure and actual intentional productivity is something i still struggle with
Does UA-cam count as social media? it's the only thing I use really, plus I have notifications turned off on most everything on my phone so I never get alerted about anything.
@@Im-BAD-at-satire I believe it is social media but it’s ultimately about how you’re using it. Use it for self improvement and productivity instead of wasting hours on simple entertainment.
Actually I disagree with this, you don’t rule the mind, pay attention to it first, your mind and body will tell you everything that it needs, unfortunately most people’s minds and body are so dysregulated that they can’t connect with that center anymore.
@@MrMadalien A ruler watches his or her subjects, but it isn’t all they do. There are occasions where a firm control needs to be exacted, lest the errant thought translate into errant actions. Once manifested as action, they only become partially under one’s dominion and then the mind will have to deal with whatever outer reactions the actions put into play. Simply watching one’s mind may be well in moments of repose, but there are times a wise watcher must indeed rule.
@@MrMadalien Thats wrong. Pay attention to a disregulated mind? What do you have? Thats bullshit, it assumes that the mind is perfect and that i already know isnt true at all.
"You suffer more in your imagination than in reality." And Joey cmon u've been really upping your cinematography game these past few vids. Just amazing stuff.
I really appreciate you bringing so valuable content about mental health which is very much needed these days. Keep up the great work brother and stay physically and mentally healthy. 😀
@@tboltgames I see, I see, so he's conditioned you to take in whatever content and buy whatever product. He's cultivated low effort thinkers for viewers, simply liking for the sake of having liked previous videos, regardless of the video's topic itself, interesting. I guess I'm different and hold each video to a standard independent of other videos. I subscribe to lots of channels I like, but it doesnt make me instantly like each following videos for the production quality, it takes a little more than that
I recently took up archery and there's a range nearby in a wooded area. No phone interruptions allowed. Probably the most peace I've felt in a long time.
Good on ya m8 ,Achery is such a fantastic way to connect to source... requires mental stillness... staring at an wild animal with bow an arrow is one of the purest things i have experienced
Just switch off any notifications and any sounds on your phone. 99% of the nonsense that comes from phones (calls, texts, messages) are nonsense. Be a man and only react when you are ready to (10 mins a day).
Man, I always forget how similar my problems are to everyone else’s. These past few months I’d sit and scroll through social media day after day. Told myself I’d never join the tiktok bandwagon, yet every social media platform adapted its style and I watch it. I work for 20 minutes, then I pick up my phone to scroll through these tasteless, view hungry videos that I ultimately get mad at and switch to another app. It’s a hard thing to get away from, but damn worth it once you do.
@@jen0718 I’m exactly the same, it’s either music or UA-cam videos - I suggest picking up a hobby that’s impossible to do without concentration, like an instrument - it’s working for me so far

This is what I do, whenever I feel pressured or stressed out about my future and realty I just look outside or go for a walk in the woods and it never fails to appoint me.
There's nothing better than being disconnected from all the news and things that are happening. The fear of losing out is gone once you understand that none of that objectively matters to me as an individual really.

Social media/Apps are designed to be addictive. So yeah they are -in some way- the issue. The users should take responsibility for how they use them but let's not forget what apps do to our brains.
@@amberglow7612 nah, its mainly rhe users fault for using them, people need to stop complaining about companies "manipulating" the users, people need self accountanility
At first when I watched this, I was worried if you were okay. Then I realized of course there's always a message to your videos, and the moment you showed the forest after all of the online information addiction clips, I got emotional. It is so true. As soon as I go outside, it just makes me want to chuck my phone away and just do yard work or just sit on my front porch and watch the birds and squirrels and say hi to neighbors as they walk by with their dogs, and feel the sun warming me with a light breeze passing by. It reminds me of being a kid, and how much more present I was. Thank you for the beautiful job on the video. They're so impactful, and you do a great job with the artistry and creativity too.
Staying inside, scrolling through social media, and watching netflix, just few seconds going out and looking at the sun, and you feel positive, and that the world is not as dark as you portrait it on social media, because on social media negative things are promoted most often.
@@hedrickoYO Id practice with different time periods. 1 day long is a good place to start. Dont look at any media for a full day. That includes using the internet. Block notifications from all apps. Just have your phone for possible emergency calls. Go somewhere secluded and just sit and think about your life. You will realize that you have been sleep walking and not taking care of important things in your life.
Man, your filmmaking skills have come such a long way. I’m set here at 1.00am, analysing every little cut and the beautiful monologue in awe. You speak so much wisdom buddy and you deliver it with style and precision. Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s truly incredible.
I was feeling exactly like this, a few weeks ago. I chose to just embrace boredom sometimes, breathe the fresh air and seek what I want through actions and stop waiting, embrace the choice and consequences of our sacrifices and go on with it. That's life
That intro was a cinematic masterpeice. I really like the way you've been editing your latest videos man, the quality is unreal. Also always nice to see a fellow Jay's fan, hopefully you're cheering the leafs on tonight as well!
Thanks man! I actually don’t like the Leafs at all hahaha I’m sorry man. Huge Habs fan here, but I dislike the Bolts more than the Leafs so I am indeed cheering for the Leafs. Hoping they can break their first round curse!
As someone who has dealt with Derealization/Depersonalization Disorder, this is such good advice. What we’re running from is usually the thing we truly need and want :) Take a breath, drop your shoulders, and allow the current moment to happen. It gives your environment a chance to do the heavy lifting instead of your mind.
@@existence.5806 hey man, I've been dealing with this pain too. I'll tell you one thing, this is a prime cause for me and honestly it's messed up my thoughts. It was tiktok and ig that messed me up
@@existence.5806 Absolutely. It’s very important to remember that it is an anxiety-based condition that is caused by behavior. It is not an incurable sickness or disease. It’s totally changeable by behavior. There is nothing wrong with the brain.
This resonates on such a meaningful level and just nailed the feeling of this moment in time. Thank you for this. Thank you for letting us know that so many of us share the same concern, the same anxiety. And most of all, Thank you for reminding us that we can put it all away. We can put the black mirrors down.
"The feeling you were running from, is what you were searching for this whole time" i felt this to the core. Ots sorta the equivalent of realizing the person u tried to avoid being was the person who u were all along. And finally coming to terms with it sorta brings comfort
This just felt good to watch. A breather. A pause. Thank you. I think it suddenly became one of my favourite videos of yours, and maybe one on this platform. Everything went well here; pacing, sounds, imagery, story... Thank you
@@hangloosejanjuc I'm not so plugged in to social media that my world view is wonked up by it. I don't think the content I'm consuming is messing with me so much, so I can't exactly say consuming less can have more of an effect. That being said, I can just appreciate this video because its actually a good video. I don't see a lot of videos like this in our current era of UA-cam so I thought I'd comment (something I rarely do) on how nice it was. I don't think my comment is as ironic as you've made it out to seem.
I hope I can make videos as thought-provoking and beautifully crafted as this someday. Really inspiring stuff Joey, I always look forward to your uploads!
Embrace disconnected...alone. The clip montage at the beginning is a perfect explanation of why it is the best option. Choose what you connect with. If you connect with insanity you end up insane.
i needed this video, i usually able to cut myself off from everything that is happening in the world but this time it felt impossible. It's good to know that they're people going through this as well.
For the past few weeks I've been feeling more and more angry with the world and I've been stuck inside my own head for too long. This video comes at just the right time for me.
2:10 ff is some deep realtalk, thank you so much! I´ve come to build a routine around going into a lokal forest every day. Last week I built little stone "shrines" and bring them things I find on my way everytime I come there. I just take it how it is and enjoy doing objectively meaningless things- yet it makes my day perfect and so rich of time for myself... Damn, I´m 18 and already mentally and even more physically broken
Exactly, just keep yourself occupied with something or someone and you'll be just fine. This is why having a job and a normal routine is essential. You won't have time to worry or lose your mind then because you're a busy bee.
OH MY GOD, I literally like 4 weeks ago when you posted this video was also overstimulated to the point that I was getting hot physically :P I just stopped ingesting so much information and started chilling that worked btw
I was literally laying out in my yard last night on a hammock with beautiful weather after an incredibly stressful week with a sick toddler and terrible weather, just staring up at the sky, embracing the silence, without my phone, listening to the wind, taking deep peaceful breaths. The feeling of relief and weightlessness and gratitude that came over me was amazing. I resonate with this amazing lifestyle practice you are constantly encouraging your views to embrace so much. I have never before in my life loved unplugging more than I do now, nor have I ever loved the beauty and simplicity of nature, wether it be the Ocean, or the mountains, or the outside woods sounds, more than I do now. I unplugged from social media a few years ago when its poison and toxicity came to a massive head in 2020.. funny how in an entire world being influenced to panic and be afraid of each other, I had peace, and funny how we had some of the best family/friend experiences of our lives then. The only damper was that the majority of the rest of the world had given up on not just living their own lives, but the Joy of life. All because of what people on the other side of a screen are telling them to think and how to live. Living like this in combination with knowing the creator of it all, God, is the greatest thing a human can experience.
uninstall social media for 2-3 months, I did thinking I couldn't live without it. After those months, I've never been able to use social media again, I just feel it's a bunch of UNNECESARY info in my life I don't want to waste time on. I promise it seems impossible, it seems ur about to disappear, but once you do it, and get hours and hours everyday for LIVING, then you don't want it again.
Lately I have been dealing with the disconnection from the world, derealisation... Human connection and specially family helps but when I find myself alone again.. I struggle with anxiety because everything just feels fake, weird... Sometimes I realise it's mostly fear but that I fear [Life, being alone, not understanding what's actually going on, no path, feeling lost as a human who feels trapped in a reality that is fake, in a fake world...] is also the freedom and the point of Life. You are not alone. Best wishes to everyone, hope you can change your mindset and point of view of Life to one that makes you feel healthy, Happy and sane.
These 5 minutes are a perfect Masterpiece! They represent our mundaine so well and the saddest part is that most people are so hooked up and caught up in this vicious cicle that they can no longer live, thing or act outside of this sticky course of events. Congratz for the amazing work!!!
Anytime I feel down, I can be asured, that this dude´s bald head will be on my youtube home page. As soon as I check him out, it clicks right into place and I always manage to find peace and calm. You are doing such a good job. Amazing content. Love it!

@Good For Nutting My point is, that case has been made public ti distract us from the current administration. Hollywood coming to the rescue of communists as usual.
It’s a great thing to disconnect very often. When you get too absorbed into all the information, it can send you spiraling into constant depression and anxiety. Great video…Well needed.
well, first time ever that i've feel so relatable. Life is a mess and sometimes we gotta find a way escape, jumping out of it for a while as a type of self mediated. Wish u guys the best!
This is probably, by far my favorite video from your channel. Recently I feel the same way. I could spend the entire day following up what's happening on the planet. But I've decided to cut all stimulations like social media and negativity. It does wonders and definitely what I didn't know, I needed. Thanks for the video. It is beautifully made.
In my opinion one of your best videos. Poetry meets the simplest and easiest to recall mindsets needed not much for productivity as much as enjoying productivity. Thank you Joey for your efforts.
This, This is peek youtube. The cinamatography was amazing, heck even the sponsored section was beautifully produced. The story of going from chaos to beauty was present throughout the video up to the B-roll at the end. That transition at 1:32 was perfect. Other film makers should look to this video on on how to make film that inspires and leaves a lasting impact on their subject. Lastly how do you prevent yourself from mindlessly scrolling?
Bro I needed this. Im struggling with social media so hard and im also on the way of disconnecting from the internet. Tbh 10 years ago we didn't know what we were getting into when we were discovering the web. Nowadays It's just a constant stream of bullsh*t stuff running through your brain and It's basically impossible to find the really valuable information between the sh*tload of fake and dumb content whose only purpose is to benefit from you as a viewer.
Holy Heck...I dont know why but that transition from 1:31 straight to the ambient nature atmosphere hit me like a brickwalll and made me stop and reflect for a moment at what in the world I am doing with my life.
Ironically I would not discover this video if it weren't for my UA-cam discussion. Your videos are just on a whole other level dude. You are just incredibly good in moviemaking
The beginning of this video reminded me of a terrifying moment I had the other day while showering. I was calm, my mind was empty and it felt as though not a single thought, positive or negative, was floating in it. Then all of a sudden these random events started swirling in my head and I felt like I was about to snap and lose control of my brain. It's like I was thinking of everything at once and my head was going to pop. The Will Smith incident even passed by for some reason 😆. All these random thoughts just kept zoning in and out of my mental and wouldn't stop. I even thought of outer space and the planets including Earth. Everything started feeling foreign and like nothing made sense. Even my surroundings (which was my shower and the stuff inside it like soap bars and bottles of shampoo at the moment) started feeling like they were fake and didn't make sense. This feeling eventually passed but it lasted a good 3 or 4 minutes. I already fear losing my mind daily so that doesn't help and I've also been super isolated. My point is I think this video perfectly encapsulates someone's mind being over stimulated in today's world and goes perfectly with it's title
Dude that's a psychotic episode. I suffer from that and it's absolute garbage. Social media and TV make things even worse. This video is everyhting I've been thinking about since the pandemic started and everyone had nothing to do except complain and fight over anything and everything on the internet and television. I decided to get away from it all and that helped me get through those times with a little more peace. I even started to read books again hahah my attention span was horrible before that. I still disconnect from everything when I'm not working and have to use the internet.
@@lghjsdtugfkgfjgtru Damn, I thought it was more of a derealization episode, I really need to watch myself. I know what u mean about social media, especially facebook is bad for this I feel. It creates the false perception of, "Everyone has perfect lives except me" and when u start feeling that way it's so easy to get in your head and feel depressed about everything. I got off all social media except UA-cam back in 2020. I've been trying to start reading and finishing books but have crappy self discipline with it. I've been working out but not consistently enough. I notice during and after working out I feel the most grounded. I still isolate myself in my house way too damn much though
@@donniechant1357 well defo don't let strangers online diagnose you. It does sound more like derealization to me. Psychosis: "delusions, hallucinations, talking incoherently, and agitation. The person with the condition usually isn't aware of his or her behavior."
@@nondescriptbeing5944 Yea, now knowing the description of psychosis symptoms, it definitely wasn't anything of that nature. I do have a severe fear of something like that happening to me at any moment though and can give myself anxiety attacks just from thinking of hearing voices and/or seeing hallucinations. I watched this schizophrenic dude give a interview a few years back (I mean this guy had it bad) and it put me into a paranoid panicky state for a few days. I visualize so much and it's a blessing and a curse because I can visualize myself in good situations but at the same time my brain thinks it's fun to visualize being crazy for some reason. But yea, if anything I think it's more derealization. I've read up on it a little bit and most the symptoms sound very similar to how I feel when I go into these states. As weird as it sounds I think what sets it off a lot is when I think of outer space and the universe, that type of stuff and it starts making me feel like my surroundings are almost dream like. I usually listen to music or work out to kind of push the feeling to the side but in situations where I can't immediately turn to that it gets pretty scary, I gotta face it head on then. I can't imagine what people with way worse mental shit going on are going through or have gone through
Such a great video man. This was definitely me when the pandemic started and even before it, but I got rid of mostly all my socal media profiles (still have IG) and got back in touch with reality and realized how many things in my life I needed to address. The goal is to get a home in a really quiet location and just work and create in peace, as it gives me the greatest sense of purpose, but to also interact and have regular conversations with people as the world is missing that connection with one another.
Man i really needed this so badly i am feeling the same way this whole Ukraine war and food shortages,fuel prices, inflation,netflix what not , cant even focus 1hour of study thanks man for this
I've been having this problem for a while until I deleted all social media for 2 months, now I'm back and I finally got rid of that addictive connection. It's beautiful, as always, amazing video! And keep it up!!!👌💯💯💯
Yeah, I agree. I'm actually from Ukraine, and I live in Kyiv, and I have to say - It is tough to focus on all the bad things that happen here. There were multiple times that I've suggested to my friends to use grounding technics. Holding a piece of ice in your hand, look out the window. It really helps out and snaps you back to reality. So... Yeah.
We live one day at a time, your brain is made to focus on the present if you think too much about what would happen next it produces stress, is like using your arms to push a wall, useless and harmful, we don't need to, even in these hard times, knowing that your experience is moment to moment can give you a lot of energy to deal with life.
I have a dilemma - what happens if I find real life overwhelming too? I go off social media because I find it overwhelming only to find that society is still overwhelming with people acting busy, rushing around for no apparent reason, noise everywhere, traffic pollution, sounds of people blabbling etc. What if it feels like there is no escape? What happens if real life is starting to feel like social media?
Man, the past few years have been full of this. Ignorance is bliss, it truly is. I’ve noticed weeks that I didn’t stay, in the know on current things like drama, media, news, and politics, I felt happier, but at the same time, some things that genuinely concern me slip through the cracks and you sometime need to pay attention. It’s definitely something to be taken in moderation with a balance of cutting out the noise, and being passionate about what you stand for. In a weird way, camping is something I find beneficial, especially out of cell range, you just, disconnect.
"Go touch grass" - what a great statement 😄💜. Your videos just keep getting better and better Joey! Honestly, ever since I moved out I've been feeling a lot better mentally. Have no TV in my place, so no news & negative stuff & it feels great! Deleted instagram, don't use social media & don't miss it. It's going good 😃
I’m a new subscriber and going through some serious troubles at the moment- since watching the video of yours ‘ how to be miserable for the rest of your life’ and realizing I am borderline that example I have been devouring all your content which has been helping a lot I have so much fear of the future and the unknown and don’t know why my brain is wired to think like this even though I’m aware it’s most important to live in the present moment day by day . Fear - false evidence appearing real - i have the power to change it at any moment. Thanks for the content- great video
Biblical explanation of the Gospel: God doesn’t want anybody in hell, but you must understand why we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23) The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). Since we have all sinned, we all deserve hell. Revelation 21:8 says that all liars will go to hell. Yes, even if you have lied once in your life, you are sentenced to hell - that's how high God's standards are of moral perfection because God is holy and righteous, there is not one sin in Him. For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ - for He lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day. None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7). We hate the thought of God for the same reason a criminal hates a policeman - we know we have sinned against God and are guilty of it and we don't want to be damned. No good works will ever save you. You can't earn salvation by good works, because God will judge us for our sin. Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life and He died for our sins according to the Scriptures, He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16) We aren’t saved by our good works, but only by the grace of God through faith in Christ. ''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins (past, present, future) to be forgiven only IF we repent and trust in Him. This is how you can get saved from sin and hell - repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ. Get to know Him by reading God's Word. So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” (Luke 11:13) ''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15) ''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19) Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8). Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin. While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10). Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6) (John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually. When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14) Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36) ''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7) If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes - to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God. You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son. ''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17) ''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10) You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ. As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so. In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.'' ''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19) ''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41) ''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21) ''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4) ''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12) Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left! "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32) Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you! Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''
Joey I've never found anyone who puts my exact thoughts and feelings into such accurate words. Your work is truly a comfort for me. Two quotes I would add: "I do my utmost to attain emptiness; I hold firm to stillness." -Tao Te Ching "Be still and know that I am God." -Psalm 46
Yea unpopular opinion but instagram and Facebook being behind vpn in Russia is the biggest blessing anyone can bestow on their population... ever since I stopped feeding the urge to check the feed on either platform I have felt this accumulating energy of mental concentration.. for the first time since my early childhood (before facebook and instagram were a thing) I feel like I'm enjoying the everyday small moments, in people, places and things around me... it's almost as if I'm enjoying life and even just THINKING About things brings me pleasure... it's an unbelievable feeling... for the love of God if you are struggling with mental health, try to avoid social media, video games and other highly rewarding artificial activities for 30 days... it will change your life..
The apps are not the issue. How the user uses them is the issue. A simple hammer can give you a rush if you smash something. That does not mean the hammer is wrong if someone uses it to smash everything they own in an attempt to get a high. Let's be real, a certain political demographic has spent the majority of their adult life trying to change the world through apps. Only for them to figure out after they are much to old, that reality is alot different than the isolated social circles they have occupied. This explains all the grown children with no moral compass who have taken to rioting and intimidating behavior in order to explress their political views, rather than acting like adults and trying to change things in a productive way. Children throwing tantrums in the streets because their digital bullying, gaslighting, and blatent manipulation tactics have failed. Well now they are failing in the real world and they do not like it. Hence the onset of depression and anxiety. Try living your life with an open mind and open heart. Try living your own way while accepting other peoples way of life. Want others to be free and happy, and you will find freedom and happiness in your own life. 😉 So before you jump on the communist bandwagon thinking that banning things is good for anyone other than who who banned them, start thinking about how we as people can take responsibility for ourselves.
It’s hard to find words to express it, but this is something I’ve been experiencing for months. I feel so much pressure both to find SOMETHING and because everything is too much. I didn’t find out what it was until a couple months ago. You can call it a lot of things, and none of them are easy to find legitimate resources on. Dopamine addiction, overstimulation, screen addiction, lack of self-discipline, etc. It boils down to a need to nourish my humanity instead of distracting myself from my world.
It truly feels like we’re looking for something and we’re not sure what it is . Then the feeds tell us that buying or watching something will fill the hole . Even this video ended with the product and how good he feels with it , but props for focusing on nature. That intro felt close to home .
I felt this last night, I scrolled on my phone for what feels like hours, with my bright screen on my face, in the dark. This was a reminder for me to not do the same thing for a while.
Wow, you described exactly how I've been feeling being in my head and always with my phone, on the internet. The hardest thing for me is when I need to do stuff like studying or working on something, I tend to scroll news, search something on the internet even more. Eventually I end up wasting my time. Thank you. It's time to rest, I guess
Cell phones went from portable tools to pocket TVs. I’ve been off all social for a year and I can honestly say it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. Humans were not meant for this constant 24/7 stimulus. The only thing that distracts me from time to time is UA-cam itself. Now, some may classify it as a social media and I can agree with that. But whenever I don’t have it on my phone everything changes. Social media and constant connection to everything happening at every second your perception on life and how life is changes. However choosing not to engage with it and becoming blissfully ignorant allows you to make your own perceptions within life and also engage in things more meaning that can expand your mind. Our parents, grand parents, and great grand parents didn’t have this. It’s fairly new and it’s extremely destructive.
It really is always amazing. I and we all know how detrimental constant overstimulation is to our mental health. News of war, highlight reels on Instagram coupled with fears about the future. Unfortunately, I'm not at all surprised that there are so many people with mental problems. Nevertheless, I'm sitting here on my smartphone , typing in this text and then scrolling to the next video to get a dopamine kick. It is really incredible.
What a beautiful video. Very often I feel so alone in feeling that way but it seems a lot of people are like me. Overthinking, anxiety and social media/news outlet addiction is so depressing. I live in one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland and I feel that I don’t appreciate it enough
This is the most important video on UA-cam right now! The amount of overstimulation that “The feed” brings is almost like crack, but widely available to everyone. I’ve been a slave to “the feed”, and this video perfectly describes how it feels. Your reality becomes warped, and your world becomes fucked. More insights; It’s almost like “the feed” is causing almost all of your problems, but it’s also the solution to those problems. That’s probably what keeps you hooked, FOMO. Doomscrolling despite the harsh consequences, so that you don’t become unaware of another catastrophe. Btw, if I could reach out to TV networks around the world, I’d definitely play this video on every TV screen in existence! Thank you, Better Ideas, for such an amazing and insightful video!
BROOO on point LITERALLY feeling like this for the past month, you are the most relatable youtuber I have ever met in my life. My phone is like the MATRIX im a phone zombie I go to bed and wake up with this major headache and neck pain, today I deleted insta and ignored messages on whatsapp, I can finally feel my brain easing
Thanks sir I needed this I was going through tough times addicted to editing , social media I thank u and all the commenter thanks 💓 I'm not the only one and we all will fight from this addiction and we all are together ❤ 💖 all the best ya all mgbu all
The best decision that I have made as well by deleting Instagram. And I'm grateful for having this channel on the internet and thanks to joey with lots of love you're a lifesaver in the pool of such toxic content on the internet which ruins our wellbeing. I have been on the other side and let me tell oh it's the worst.
I've always been so alone but the past few years because of the covid I've been so much more alone and in result I've overthought so much that I sometimes can't tell reality apart from my ideas on it, I know I need to get outta my head but I have no friends I barely have any conversation with anyone other than my family members. so instead I get on the social media and that's even worse. it's like they filter all of the bad news and force you to watch them. I constantly keep thinking about how much I love to put the phone down or shut down my pc but I'm even more afraid if I let go of them I start overthinking again which feels like an endless drowning ( sorry for bad English)
I have a youtube addiction and It's really bad. I keep telling myself I'm going to delete it but I'm escaping from somthing else. I am using it as a tool to escape and its done more harm then good.
I been feeling this for so long.. deleted instagram and Snapchat a year ago! I stay away from new and everything overwhelming because then I feel like this earth is to much to handle. You still keep looking when yk you shouldn’t. Thank you for this

Just switch off any notifications and any sounds on your phone. 99% of the nonsense that comes from phones (calls, texts, messages) are nonsense. Be a man and only react when you are ready to (10 mins a day).
Man, I always forget how similar my problems are to everyone else’s. These past few months I’d sit and scroll through social media day after day. Told myself I’d never join the tiktok bandwagon, yet every social media platform adapted its style and I watch it. I work for 20 minutes, then I pick up my phone to scroll through these tasteless, view hungry videos that I ultimately get mad at and switch to another app. It’s a hard thing to get away from, but damn worth it once you do.

The feeling of relief and weightlessness and gratitude that came over me was amazing. I resonate with this amazing lifestyle practice you are constantly encouraging your views to embrace so much. I have never before in my life loved unplugging more than I do now, nor have I ever loved the beauty and simplicity of nature, wether it be the Ocean, or the mountains, or the outside woods sounds, more than I do now. I unplugged from social media a few years ago when its poison and toxicity came to a massive head in 2020.. funny how in an entire world being influenced to panic and be afraid of each other, I had peace, and funny how we had some of the best family/friend experiences of our lives then. The only damper was that the majority of the rest of the world had given up on not just living their own lives, but the Joy of life. All because of what people on the other side of a screen are telling them to think and how to live. Living like this in combination with knowing the creator of it all, God, is the greatest thing a human can experience.

uninstall social media for 2-3 months, I did thinking I couldn't live without it. After those months, I've never been able to use social media again, I just feel it's a bunch of UNNECESARY info in my life I don't want to waste time on. I promise it seems impossible, it seems ur about to disappear, but once you do it, and get hours and hours everyday for LIVING, then you don't want it again.
and that's only for social media, I think it's applicable to many things we feel are important, but aren't.
Lately I have been dealing with the disconnection from the world, derealisation... Human connection and specially family helps but when I find myself alone again.. I struggle with anxiety because everything just feels fake, weird... Sometimes I realise it's mostly fear but that I fear [Life, being alone, not understanding what's actually going on, no path, feeling lost as a human who feels trapped in a reality that is fake, in a fake world...] is also the freedom and the point of Life.
You are not alone. Best wishes to everyone, hope you can change your mindset and point of view of Life to one that makes you feel healthy, Happy and sane.
These 5 minutes are a perfect Masterpiece! They represent our mundaine so well and the saddest part is that most people are so hooked up and caught up in this vicious cicle that they can no longer live, thing or act outside of this sticky course of events.
Congratz for the amazing work!!!
i got teary when you spoke about how good you've been doing it. You can see it. how genuinely good you're doing
I hope you are doing well, Akame.
Anytime I feel down, I can be asured, that this dude´s bald head will be on my youtube home page.
As soon as I check him out, it clicks right into place and I always manage to find peace and calm.
You are doing such a good job. Amazing content. Love it!
It's like that meme I saw "Parents at 30: 2 kids and a house. Me at 30: "I should abandon society and live in the woods""
"But if i leave it im afraid that i will miss something, feel alone" that summed it all up.
Any sane person is in danger of flipping off with the circus we're witnessing nowadays...
basically, and MANY of us are
The apps are not the issue. How the user uses them is the issue.
A simple hammer can give you a rush if you smash something.
That does not mean the hammer is wrong if someone uses it to smash everything they own in an attempt to get a high.
Let's be real, a certain political demographic has spent the majority of their adult life trying to change the world through apps.
Only for them to figure out after they are much to old, that reality is alot different than the isolated social circles they have occupied.
This explains all the grown children with no moral compass who have taken to rioting and intimidating behavior in order to explress their political views, rather than acting like adults and trying to change things in a productive way.
Children throwing tantrums in the streets because their digital bullying, gaslighting, and blatent manipulation tactics have failed.
Well now they are failing in the real world and they do not like it. Hence the onset of depression and anxiety.
Try living your life with an open mind and open heart.
Try living your own way while accepting other peoples way of life.
Want others to be free and happy, and you will find freedom and happiness in your own life.

@Good For Nutting If you turn that off you will start to see the things that matter for what they are.
We are in a heap of trouble my friend.
@Good For Nutting My point is, that case has been made public ti distract us from the current administration. Hollywood coming to the rescue of communists as usual.
And yet people are surprised when someone does something crazy
It’s a great thing to disconnect very often. When you get too absorbed into all the information, it can send you spiraling into constant depression and anxiety. Great video…Well needed.
well, first time ever that i've feel so relatable. Life is a mess and sometimes we gotta find a way escape, jumping out of it for a while as a type of self mediated. Wish u guys the best!
This is probably, by far my favorite video from your channel. Recently I feel the same way. I could spend the entire day following up what's happening on the planet. But I've decided to cut all stimulations like social media and negativity. It does wonders and definitely what I didn't know, I needed.
Thanks for the video. It is beautifully made.
In my opinion one of your best videos.
Poetry meets the simplest and easiest to recall mindsets needed not much for productivity as much as enjoying productivity.
Thank you Joey for your efforts.
I’ve just started watching, but can already relate seeing the beginning. I needed this, thank you, Joey
its an ad dude
This, This is peek youtube. The cinamatography was amazing, heck even the sponsored section was beautifully produced. The story of going from chaos to beauty was present throughout the video up to the B-roll at the end. That transition at 1:32 was perfect. Other film makers should look to this video on on how to make film that inspires and leaves a lasting impact on their subject.
Lastly how do you prevent yourself from mindlessly scrolling?
Bro I needed this. Im struggling with social media so hard and im also on the way of disconnecting from the internet. Tbh 10 years ago we didn't know what we were getting into when we were discovering the web. Nowadays It's just a constant stream of bullsh*t stuff running through your brain and It's basically impossible to find the really valuable information between the sh*tload of fake and dumb content whose only purpose is to benefit from you as a viewer.
Fact
Holy Heck...I dont know why but that transition from 1:31 straight to the ambient nature atmosphere hit me like a brickwalll and made me stop and reflect for a moment at what in the world I am doing with my life.
Same. Felt like achieving peace after long overstimulation.
Ironically I would not discover this video if it weren't for my UA-cam discussion.
Your videos are just on a whole other level dude. You are just incredibly good in moviemaking
The beginning of this video reminded me of a terrifying moment I had the other day while showering. I was calm, my mind was empty and it felt as though not a single thought, positive or negative, was floating in it. Then all of a sudden these random events started swirling in my head and I felt like I was about to snap and lose control of my brain. It's like I was thinking of everything at once and my head was going to pop. The Will Smith incident even passed by for some reason 😆. All these random thoughts just kept zoning in and out of my mental and wouldn't stop. I even thought of outer space and the planets including Earth. Everything started feeling foreign and like nothing made sense. Even my surroundings (which was my shower and the stuff inside it like soap bars and bottles of shampoo at the moment) started feeling like they were fake and didn't make sense. This feeling eventually passed but it lasted a good 3 or 4 minutes. I already fear losing my mind daily so that doesn't help and I've also been super isolated. My point is I think this video perfectly encapsulates someone's mind being over stimulated in today's world and goes perfectly with it's title
Dude that's a psychotic episode. I suffer from that and it's absolute garbage. Social media and TV make things even worse. This video is everyhting I've been thinking about since the pandemic started and everyone had nothing to do except complain and fight over anything and everything on the internet and television. I decided to get away from it all and that helped me get through those times with a little more peace. I even started to read books again hahah my attention span was horrible before that. I still disconnect from everything when I'm not working and have to use the internet.
@@lghjsdtugfkgfjgtru Damn, I thought it was more of a derealization episode, I really need to watch myself. I know what u mean about social media, especially facebook is bad for this I feel. It creates the false perception of, "Everyone has perfect lives except me" and when u start feeling that way it's so easy to get in your head and feel depressed about everything. I got off all social media except UA-cam back in 2020. I've been trying to start reading and finishing books but have crappy self discipline with it. I've been working out but not consistently enough. I notice during and after working out I feel the most grounded. I still isolate myself in my house way too damn much though
lay off consuming media bro, that includes news youtube and social media
@@donniechant1357 well defo don't let strangers online diagnose you. It does sound more like derealization to me. Psychosis: "delusions, hallucinations, talking incoherently, and agitation. The person with the condition usually isn't aware of his or her behavior."
@@nondescriptbeing5944 Yea, now knowing the description of psychosis symptoms, it definitely wasn't anything of that nature. I do have a severe fear of something like that happening to me at any moment though and can give myself anxiety attacks just from thinking of hearing voices and/or seeing hallucinations. I watched this schizophrenic dude give a interview a few years back (I mean this guy had it bad) and it put me into a paranoid panicky state for a few days. I visualize so much and it's a blessing and a curse because I can visualize myself in good situations but at the same time my brain thinks it's fun to visualize being crazy for some reason. But yea, if anything I think it's more derealization. I've read up on it a little bit and most the symptoms sound very similar to how I feel when I go into these states. As weird as it sounds I think what sets it off a lot is when I think of outer space and the universe, that type of stuff and it starts making me feel like my surroundings are almost dream like. I usually listen to music or work out to kind of push the feeling to the side but in situations where I can't immediately turn to that it gets pretty scary, I gotta face it head on then. I can't imagine what people with way worse mental shit going on are going through or have gone through
Such a great video man. This was definitely me when the pandemic started and even before it, but I got rid of mostly all my socal media profiles (still have IG) and got back in touch with reality and realized how many things in my life I needed to address. The goal is to get a home in a really quiet location and just work and create in peace, as it gives me the greatest sense of purpose, but to also interact and have regular conversations with people as the world is missing that connection with one another.
Man i really needed this so badly i am feeling the same way this whole Ukraine war and food shortages,fuel prices, inflation,netflix what not , cant even focus 1hour of study thanks man for this
Love this storytelling format of your videos, keep them coming.
Another great production going straight into my favourites
I've been having this problem for a while until I deleted all social media for 2 months, now I'm back and I finally got rid of that addictive connection. It's beautiful, as always, amazing video! And keep it up!!!👌💯💯💯
Yeah, I agree. I'm actually from Ukraine, and I live in Kyiv, and I have to say - It is tough to focus on all the bad things that happen here. There were multiple times that I've suggested to my friends to use grounding technics. Holding a piece of ice in your hand, look out the window. It really helps out and snaps you back to reality. So... Yeah.
what does holding a piece of ice cause? I'm curious and want to learn more about those techniques.
@@lghjsdtugfkgfjgtru grounds you, i assume. Keeps you focused on an stimuli here on earth, and away from drifting into obsesive thoughts.
We live one day at a time, your brain is made to focus on the present if you think too much about what would happen next it produces stress, is like using your arms to push a wall, useless and harmful, we don't need to, even in these hard times, knowing that your experience is moment to moment can give you a lot of energy to deal with life.
@@emanuel5880 this is me 10000% I need to think more positive and change my ways
Ooh, what a depression comment.
I have a dilemma - what happens if I find real life overwhelming too? I go off social media because I find it overwhelming only to find that society is still overwhelming with people acting busy, rushing around for no apparent reason, noise everywhere, traffic pollution, sounds of people blabbling etc.
What if it feels like there is no escape? What happens if real life is starting to feel like social media?
Maybe the city isn't the place for you
@@somerled5513 hmm good point I can move out but my point still stands that society is getting more and more chaotic
Quiet the mind.. sit still for hours without tech. Embrace the silence.
@@livelaughpuke not really if you grow to control where and how you live...life was more chaotic back then...it just APPEARS worse now
you need a hobby. start making music, art or anything.
Dude, your channel is like a gem! Love everything about your videos!
Man, the past few years have been full of this. Ignorance is bliss, it truly is. I’ve noticed weeks that I didn’t stay, in the know on current things like drama, media, news, and politics, I felt happier, but at the same time, some things that genuinely concern me slip through the cracks and you sometime need to pay attention. It’s definitely something to be taken in moderation with a balance of cutting out the noise, and being passionate about what you stand for. In a weird way, camping is something I find beneficial, especially out of cell range, you just, disconnect.
This was one of your best videos. I was feeling this exact way...while opening youtube and IG. Thanks man.
"Go touch grass" - what a great statement 😄💜.
Your videos just keep getting better and better Joey!
Honestly, ever since I moved out I've been feeling a lot better mentally. Have no TV in my place, so no news & negative stuff & it feels great! Deleted instagram, don't use social media & don't miss it. It's going good 😃
What a fucking masterpiece, Joey!
Bro that transition from the room to the forest was so relieving
I’m a new subscriber and going through some serious troubles at the moment- since watching the video of yours ‘ how to be miserable for the rest of your life’ and realizing I am borderline that example I have been devouring all your content which has been helping a lot I have so much fear of the future and the unknown and don’t know why my brain is wired to think like this even though I’m aware it’s most important to live in the present moment day by day . Fear - false evidence appearing real - i have the power to change it at any moment.
Thanks for the content- great video
Biblical explanation of the Gospel:
God doesn’t want anybody in hell, but you must understand why
we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but
rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23)
The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). Since we have all sinned, we all deserve hell.
Revelation 21:8 says that all liars will go to hell. Yes, even if you have lied once in your life, you are sentenced to hell - that's how
high God's standards are of moral perfection because God is holy and righteous, there is not one sin in Him.
For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ
- for He lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day.
None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit
to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7). We hate the thought of God for the same reason a criminal
hates a policeman - we know we have sinned against God and are guilty of it and we don't want to be damned.
No good works will ever save you. You can't earn salvation by good works, because God will judge us for our sin.
Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life and He died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16)
We aren’t saved by our good works, but only by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -
not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins
(past, present, future) to be forgiven only IF we repent and trust in Him.
This is how you can get saved from sin and hell - repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ. Get to know Him
by reading God's Word.
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” (Luke 11:13)
''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15)
''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19)
Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8).
Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).
Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6)
(John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually.
When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance
until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7)
If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes -
to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God.
You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace
revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son.
''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17)
''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10)
You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ.
As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so.
In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.''
''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19)
''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41)
''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body,
but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21)
''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,
just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4)
''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God,
who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12)
Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!
Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''
Joey I've never found anyone who puts my exact thoughts and feelings into such accurate words. Your work is truly a comfort for me. Two quotes I would add:
"I do my utmost to attain emptiness; I hold firm to stillness." -Tao Te Ching
"Be still and know that I am God." -Psalm 46
This guy and healthygamergg are the goats
Yea unpopular opinion but instagram and Facebook being behind vpn in Russia is the biggest blessing anyone can bestow on their population... ever since I stopped feeding the urge to check the feed on either platform I have felt this accumulating energy of mental concentration.. for the first time since my early childhood (before facebook and instagram were a thing) I feel like I'm enjoying the everyday small moments, in people, places and things around me... it's almost as if I'm enjoying life and even just THINKING About things brings me pleasure... it's an unbelievable feeling... for the love of God if you are struggling with mental health, try to avoid social media, video games and other highly rewarding artificial activities for 30 days... it will change your life..
Наверное когда весь интернет отключат тоже будешь про blessing говорить?
The apps are not the issue. How the user uses them is the issue.
A simple hammer can give you a rush if you smash something.
That does not mean the hammer is wrong if someone uses it to smash everything they own in an attempt to get a high.
Let's be real, a certain political demographic has spent the majority of their adult life trying to change the world through apps.
Only for them to figure out after they are much to old, that reality is alot different than the isolated social circles they have occupied.

Well now they are failing in the real world and they do not like it. Hence the onset of depression and anxiety.
Try living your life with an open mind and open heart.
Try living your own way while accepting other peoples way of life.
Want others to be free and happy, and you will find freedom and happiness in your own life.

It’s hard to find words to express it, but this is something I’ve been experiencing for months. I feel so much pressure both to find SOMETHING and because everything is too much. I didn’t find out what it was until a couple months ago. You can call it a lot of things, and none of them are easy to find legitimate resources on. Dopamine addiction, overstimulation, screen addiction, lack of self-discipline, etc. It boils down to a need to nourish my humanity instead of distracting myself from my world.
It truly feels like we’re looking for something and we’re not sure what it is . Then the feeds tell us that buying or watching something will fill the hole . Even this video ended with the product and how good he feels with it , but props for focusing on nature. That intro felt close to home .
Can we just appreciate how high-quality of a video this is? Those shots are just 😩
I felt this last night, I scrolled on my phone for what feels like hours, with my bright screen on my face, in the dark. This was a reminder for me to not do the same thing for a while.
Wow, you described exactly how I've been feeling being in my head and always with my phone, on the internet. The hardest thing for me is when I need to do stuff like studying or working on something, I tend to scroll news, search something on the internet even more. Eventually I end up wasting my time. Thank you. It's time to rest, I guess
Nobody is alone with this kind of stuff, and I think we're all still coming to terms with what has taken place in the past few years.
It amps up my adhd
My favourite video of yours so far. Phenomenal work, as always.
Better Ideas really makes these videos to compile a portfolio for his directorial debut.
Cell phones went from portable tools to pocket TVs. I’ve been off all social for a year and I can honestly say it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. Humans were not meant for this constant 24/7 stimulus. The only thing that distracts me from time to time is UA-cam itself. Now, some may classify it as a social media and I can agree with that. But whenever I don’t have it on my phone everything changes. Social media and constant connection to everything happening at every second your perception on life and how life is changes. However choosing not to engage with it and becoming blissfully ignorant allows you to make your own perceptions within life and also engage in things more meaning that can expand your mind. Our parents, grand parents, and great grand parents didn’t have this. It’s fairly new and it’s extremely destructive.
It really is always amazing. I and we all know how detrimental constant overstimulation is to our mental health. News of war, highlight reels on Instagram coupled with fears about the future. Unfortunately, I'm not at all surprised that there are so many people with mental problems. Nevertheless, I'm sitting here on my smartphone , typing in this text and then scrolling to the next video to get a dopamine kick. It is really incredible.
What a beautiful video. Very often I feel so alone in feeling that way but it seems a lot of people are like me. Overthinking, anxiety and social media/news outlet addiction is so depressing. I live in one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland and I feel that I don’t appreciate it enough
Good stuff, could have been deeper but that add at the end kills it completely
For anyone who wants to get control over technology again, I recommend the book Smart Phone Dumb Phone. It has helped me a lot.
Great video as always!
Your videos never disappoint. They are so on point and really remind me of whats important in life. Thank you Joey!
You've come a long way Joey. I'm proud to witness your work.
This is the most important video on UA-cam right now!
The amount of overstimulation that “The feed” brings is almost like crack, but widely available to everyone.
I’ve been a slave to “the feed”, and this video perfectly describes how it feels. Your reality becomes warped, and your world becomes fucked.
More insights; It’s almost like “the feed” is causing almost all of your problems, but it’s also the solution to those problems. That’s probably what keeps you hooked, FOMO. Doomscrolling despite the harsh consequences, so that you don’t become unaware of another catastrophe.
Btw, if I could reach out to TV networks around the world, I’d definitely play this video on every TV screen in existence! Thank you, Better Ideas, for such an amazing and insightful video!
BROOO on point LITERALLY feeling like this for the past month, you are the most relatable youtuber I have ever met in my life. My phone is like the MATRIX im a phone zombie I go to bed and wake up with this major headache and neck pain, today I deleted insta and ignored messages on whatsapp, I can finally feel my brain easing

The best decision that I have made as well by deleting Instagram.
And I'm grateful for having this channel on the internet and thanks to joey with lots of love you're a lifesaver in the pool of such toxic content on the internet which ruins our wellbeing. I have been on the other side and let me tell oh it's the worst.
Your talent in photography always impresses me!
I've always been so alone but the past few years because of the covid I've been so much more alone and in result I've overthought so much that I sometimes can't tell reality apart from my ideas on it, I know I need to get outta my head but I have no friends I barely have any conversation with anyone other than my family members. so instead I get on the social media and that's even worse. it's like they filter all of the bad news and force you to watch them. I constantly keep thinking about how much I love to put the phone down or shut down my pc but I'm even more afraid if I let go of them I start overthinking again which feels like an endless drowning
( sorry for bad English)
I feel like going to live in a cabin out in the woods and don't come back until next year!
