  • Maybe when you feel like everything is wrong and you just can’t go on anymore, you’re just mentally exhausted. Or emotionally exhausted. Or spiritually exhausted. And when we are exhausted, we rest for a period of time from that which is exhausting us. And then we get up and carry on.

      I'm not a religious person, but one thing I noticed in the army. The religious soldiers had a way of keeping the faith that God had a plan. They'd take a breath and then they would say, "everythings gonna be alright" and it was. I call them Paladins. Just not to their face.

    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.

    Because I rested & recovered for 4 of those months, I've had a smooth rehabilitation since the first month. Spirituality has played a huge part in that. God bless y'all 🙏

    Thank you sir. I make my living as a paramedic. I tried to be a horseman for a while but, apparently God didn't have that life in store for me. I am also a Volunteer firefighter.
    I love helping people but, it takes its toll. I have been in Fire/EMS in some form or another since 1994. I have seen alot of people die in alot of different ways. I have helped alot of people live through some of the worst medical and
    Traumatic emergencies of their lives. Strange thing is, I didn't plan on this life. It was never my dream job to become a paramedic yet here I am.
    I guess I tell you and those reading this that we all have stress in our work, even what others may view as exceptionally noble or adventurous work. There is a saying, "all that glitters is not gold". The Lord knows that we will have trials in our lives. These trials are part of the fallen world, but they are also the furnace that purifies us.
    So, just as God rested on the 7th day after creating the world. We need to rest from our work.
    Thank you, Dwayne, for reminding us all of this.
    God bless you and yours, sir!

      Some background: I’m a personal trainer (32) with background working alongside physical therapists and chiropractors. Now pursuing firefighting full time.
      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.

      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
      @Drew99GT 7 місяців тому +1

      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.

    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.

Had to do it all over again in the end (6 years solid where I’m from). Done the first three years even though I didn’t know if I actually could muster my wits anymore, pathology being the final exam of those first three years. Passed it. All this in my mid 30’s. After pathology, I was mentally done for the whole next school year. Somehow made it through the 4th year unscathed in the end... Rested proper through summer, been all guns blazing ever since (with some significant changes to my lifestyle). Fingers crossed for the grand finale...looks very promising.

    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. And the beautiful landscape behind you and your naturally calm and happy face helped a lot. I wish we here had more calm, happy and dignified people like you! Thank you!

    Seriously great timing. I appreciate this. I just quit a career I was in for 10 years and have been feeling major anxiety. Im working on my transition to a new career field and took the leap of faith, taking a gamble on myself. I’ve been feeling anxious, not depressed or inadequate but just massive nerves lately.
    This helped calm me a bit just to focus and breathe. I appreciate you.

      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! 🥂🥳

    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.

    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.

      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

    One thing I have had to grapple with and gain acceptance in is letting go of the guilt of resting. A lot of people who are hardworking will find a dissonance with rest and the seeming need for productivity. Often, I would find myself feeling less rested than the day before, because I would get so stressed about what I “Should be doing” that I could not just relax and enjoy my day of rest.
    Since then I have been able to find a healthy balance and this has let me take much more meaningful rest periods that actually leave me feeling good and excited to come back to the journey of life.
    Thanks for this Dwayne

    This came to me at the right time.
    The past month has been very hard for me mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Not having the support I need makes it worse, and I have gotten to a very low point where thoughts of giving up keep circulating my mind. Hardly anything gives me joy anymore, and I have abandoned my responsibilities in some way or another.
    I keep saying I need a short get away, just a simple one somewhere out in the mountains or the desert, but finances and schedules still make it impossible. When I do try to escape on my own, taking a little drive here or there, I’m made to feel guilty somehow.
    I just need to get away. I know I’ll be okay afterwards. I give too much of myself to everyone around me for the sake of their comfort, convenience, and happiness, but it feels like it is not reciprocated nearly enough. I’m losing myself but don’t know how to get back.
    I feel so alone and I’m typically okay with being on my own but this is different. I am surrounded by people who love me and say they value me, but I still feel completely alone after pouring everything I have into their cups.
    I’m exhausted

    The thing about mental exhaustion is often times we are our own worst enemy. We don’t recognize emotional and spiritual exhaustion and if we do we beat ourselves up about it. Do not beat yourself up for needing a break. Don’t wage an internal battle with yourself, but show yourself grace and compassion and take some time and rest and don’t beat yourself up about it. You can’t recover from emotional exhaustion but kicking yourself own a55. Don’t be your own worst enemy.
