 All right guys, what is going on? Welcome back to another video. In today's video, as you can see by the title, I'm going to talk about where I've been, what's been happening over the last six weeks, and what's to come on this channel. I look, I'm just going to say it from the get go. I had somewhat of a breakdown, somewhat of a mental breakdown about six weeks ago, where I was getting pressure and stress from all different things in life, and it just became too much. And I sort of in a way threw my hands up in the air with it all and said, look, I give up. I give up. It's too much. And what that forced me to do was to, you know, let go of everything that I was doing, apart from going to work to earn my money, and apart from the relationship between me and my daughter. And I focused on those two things. And I let go of everything to do with Major Key Physiques. It was too much. I couldn't face it. I couldn't even log into Instagram, guys, because let's talk about social media and Instagram. How that was affecting me negatively was I was continually comparing myself with other brands, with other people, people that were killing it in life. So, you know, so it looks like. But Instagram is just a highlight reel. And, you know, endless scrolling through Instagram is only going to be bad for your mental health. I saw Instagram as a fantastic tool for me to promote myself, for me to promote my business. But all I was doing was second guessing myself and overthinking things. And I wasn't promoting. I wasn't posting. I wasn't doing anything. So what happened was I decided to actually quit using my smartphone for a month. I didn't use my smartphone for a month, which means that I couldn't do anything to do with the brand. I couldn't do anything to do with YouTube, nothing on Instagram, Facebook, nothing. I just had to focus on me, focus on getting right, focus on getting my personal life right, and then slowly add that stuff back in. And that's what I did. I had to take a break from social media. I also have been starting to get up at five in the morning rather than 15 minutes before starting work and being in a rush and starting off negatively. You know, you get up early and I'm actually going to the gym. So before, you know, I wasn't going to the gym, which negatively affects my mental health. But the reason I wasn't going is because I'm not going to go in the morning. I said, nah, there's no way I'm going in the morning. I can't do it. But you can and I have been. But anyway, I wasn't going in the morning. I was doing a 12 hour day at work, coming home and not going because I just can't be fucked. And that's an attitude that crept in slowly. But the fact is, is I've been able to completely switch that around by doing one simple thing, getting up earlier. So I get up at five in the morning and go to the gym. I have brought Instagram back in in the last two days. That's why I'm creating this video now to talk about my experience, why that happened. The next video, after that, we're going to talk about family counselling, which is what I've started to do. So I'm going to come to you guys as someone who's probably going to be a single dad who is going through relationship counselling and talking about my experiences. You know, this channel has always been real. It's always been unfiltered, you know, unbiased. There's certain things in my personal life that I've probably overshared in the past. And some of you may not be interested in in relationship counselling and how I'm developing as a parent. But that's me. And that is the shit that's going on in my head right now. I'm thinking about my personal life. I'm thinking about becoming the man that I want to be. I'm thinking about, you know, prioritizing, reprioritizing things in a way that I'm not going to have one of those breakdowns that I talked about before ever again. Because you feel it's a weird feeling. You feel helpless. You, you feel you feel like nothing's ever going to improve. You feel you just, I don't know. It's just you try and think about one problem and then there's another one and then there's another one and then there's another one. You start giving yourself panic attacks. I mean, it's all just rolls into one. I had to just let it all go. And that's what I did. It was scary. The one thing that I didn't want to do was, was stop trying to build this, this business, this, this clothing brand. And I had to, I had to let it go. I actually gave ownership to my sister for a month. And at the point, at the start, when I, when I decided to get rid of my smartphone, I thought I wasn't going to get one again. I thought it's over. I thought it's done. That's how desperate I was. But over time, you know, life goes on and I came back up to a more even sort of keel as far as my attitude goes. And I thought, you know, I'm, I'm okay. I'm all right now. Certain things that I needed to get sorted have been. And that's what I'm going to talk about. And another video is actually financial stress that I've been under. I almost sent myself bankrupt. And that was the catalyst for this breakdown. I came back from cans with no money, with no plan. My daughter wasn't here. The business hadn't gone as well as I thought it would. I didn't have a place to live. I had to go back to my old job, which I didn't really enjoy. My YouTube channel wasn't growing. And in those times you, you sit back and think, is this what life's really about? Is it getting mortgages, being in debt? No, it's not. So in another video, I'm going to talk about how I actually had to sell one of my properties recently to pay debt to save myself from bankruptcy. And in another video, I'm going to talk about how I'm almost about to sign my first ever commercial lease for Major Key Physiques, which is a risk, but it's a risk. It's a calculated risk. And I need a spot where I can put everything to do with this business, where I can roll in there, I can, I can turn up to work effectively and not have, not try and balance Major Key Physiques, YouTube, and my personal life. I would, I would, I would love nothing more than to have all of my computer gear, everything away from the house in an office, which is exactly what's going to happen. It's a cheap office here in Alice Springs, but I'm excited. It's going to give me, it's, it's, you know, hopefully going to get the ball rolling again with this brand. And at the end of this video, I'm actually going to show you guys a quick clip that we've, we've had shot. It's going to be one of the first video clips that we use as far as promotion, promotional material for this brand. And I think it's sick. So definitely let me know down in the comment section below what you think. But, you know, I nearly gave it up. I nearly gave it up, but I'm back. We've got something here. I've got something here. Business is cutthroat. It's not easy to get money off people, but we're in this together, guys. We're in this together. So anyways, wow, I've been talking for 10 minutes. I could probably go on for another 10. There's been a whole lot of shit going on. But like I said, there's going to be a series of videos coming out talking about my different experiences that I've been going through in the last four to six weeks. And we can only go up from here. So once again, thank you for being here. I don't know where this video is going to be put up. I'm going to have to rewatch it. I've got to be careful because I have been away for a while. And these personal videos, these vlog, you know, one to one type videos are a part of my channel. And I do do them. But at the moment, because I'm a bit out of touch, because I'm a bit out of practice, I don't exactly know how this has come across. I feel as if I've lost a little bit of my vocabulary. I've lost a little bit of my spark. But I'm confident it's coming back. And it all started with shaving off the beard. I feel fresh. I feel good. Let's keep it rolling. Have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. And look out for those videos. We are continuing the top 100 that is coming out just in time to start reacting to the new top 100. So stay tuned. The video is edited. I've just been in a really, I've been in a stalemate with myself. It's been fucked, but I'm back. Thanks for being here, guys. I'll see you in the next one when we talk about not having smartphone for 30 days. It was good. Peace.
