 One of the biggest delusions that we suffer from as human beings is that we actually have control of our own lives. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health and what I like to do is pull different topics from the YouTube community to try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. Real quick announcement, I get a ton, a ton of DMs. I get a ton of emails. I get a ton of comments and I love you all for it. I've set up the Facebook group as well as the Discord server because I cannot answer everybody. So make sure that you check always down in the description below and join those if you would like a one-on-one talk with me. I just added some new stuff over on Patreon. One of the tiers over there is to have a monthly call with me just to chat. Again, I am not a licensed professional. But if you would like a chat with me, I schedule them through Patreon. All right. But anyways, if you would like for free, join the Facebook group and or the Discord server. All right. So anyways, got a flood of requests today to talk about Logan Paul and oh my Lord, this dude, this dude is playing everybody like a fiddle. And it's just like, man, so I'm going to talk about it. Let's talk about it. Like this is something that we see constantly. So like I made a video months ago, months ago, because so many people ask me to talk about onion boy. I don't talk about onion boy because that's what they want. All right. So like, like I said in the intro, we, we suffer from this delusion that we're in control, right? That's this thing. We, we, we have this choice, this freedom of choice. We, we have free will. We may, we choose what we're going to do when in reality we don't. All right. Talking about Logan Paul is giving him exactly what he wants and it's working. It's working. So for example, a few months ago, he came out and went to the Flat Earth convention and guess what? When he went on stage and talked about how he now believes in the flat earth, guess what happened? Everybody on the flat earth was talking about it. That was funny. I'm not interested that everybody was talking about it. Um, so I consider myself a man of truth, uh, someone who hates being ignorant. I try my best to avoid being ignorant. And, um, that's why I decided to come here because if I'm going to, if I'm going to do this, and if I'm going to put my name out there, I want to know the facts, right? The fact that, you know, we haven't been to the moon in what, over 50 years, the fact that, uh, the moon amidst its own light, some of the best scientists, um, that the, uh, the globe heads is that what you guys call them, the globe heads, some of their best scientists can't, they can't explain gravity. Uh, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Neil deGrasse Tyson, uh, Bill Nye. At the end of the day, do they even know? And, uh, so I wanted to come here and explore for myself. But yeah, man, if, if, like I said, if I'm going to do this and if I'm going to put my name out there, because I'm sure you guys know there's a stigma, there's a stigma with being a flat earth there. And if I'm going to do it, I want to know, I want to know the facts. So that's why I'm here. I just want to say thank you. Thank you for having me. If you see me in the hallway, say hi, come take a picture. And, uh, I guess, I guess I'm, I'm not ashamed to say my name is Logan Paul. And I, I think I'm coming out of the flat earth closet. Right. Today, um, the issue is what he said on his podcast. Before I talk about what he said on his podcast, let me make it very clear. You have every right, every single right to be offended. You do. Okay. How you feel. I am not here to judge that. We all have a right to feel the way that we're going to feel, but we need to ask ourselves, what is a productive use of this energy? What is a productive use of this? It's something that I talk about in my book, rewire your anger. Right. It's about using that for something good. Like, what are we going to do? All right. But anyways, on his podcast, he said in 2019 for the, the month of March, he was going to do whatever it is and he was going to go gay for a month. January is sober, vegan January. Yeah. And then February is, uh, fatal February, the exact opposite, the opposite. So like day one, stakes, like big bottles of Tito's and shit. Like just while and, and then March. Yeah. Take a guess. It's Coachella. So wait, no, no, that's April. You see the line up, by the way, you see the line up. So you're going to, you're going to be vegan and sober again. No, no, it's, what is it? Mail only March. Mail, why don't you say this part? So it's mail only March. We're going to attempt to go gay for just one month. One month and then swing and then go back. That's crazy. But yeah, people are offended. All right, I get it. I understand that. But the fact is, is that Logan Paul got exactly what he wanted. And the sad part about it is, I don't even think he thought that was going to go viral, right? But he did. And now he's sitting there in his mansion, laying on a bed of money, just like, oh my God, look, everybody's talking about me now. His subscriber numbers is going up, his videos, getting more views. That's the video right there. I clicked on it. It's fully monetized. So now everybody who wants to hear exactly what he said or get the entire context of it or whatever it is, he's making money off of it. All right. So much like Onion Boy and other people trying to stay relevant, they're trying to invoke an emotion from us. They're trying to do this through different forms of, I guess you can call it manipulation. So like what I try to teach everybody and this is something that I had to learn myself like you guys, I don't give you guys advice, I haven't taken myself. All right, it is much easier to change how we respond to the world rather than focusing our energy on trying to change everybody around us. So for example, for example, I get a lot of comments. I was in the Discord server today and people like Chris, you should really change your thumbnails, you should really change your tags or your video titles. And I'm like, nah, I've just been saying, nah, right? Because one of the things that keeps us in such a foul mood and makes it so upset is that we sit and we think that you should do this. You should do that. You should do this. You should say this. You should say that. You should say this, right? This is something else that I talk about and rewire your anger. Am I plugging my book? Sure. If that upsets you, maybe you should check in with yourself and see why that is. All right. But we all have this idea of what everybody else should be doing. But think about it. If you have two people, if you have just two people in a room and this person thinks everybody should do things their way, that people, that person thinks everybody should do their things their way, you already, you immediately have conflict, right? When I would do groups in front of 60 and 70 people, I would say, how many of you can relate to this, right? If everybody would just do everything that I thought they should do, everything would be wonderful. Everything would be fantastic. I'd say, raise your hand if you can relate to that. You see dozens of hands go up in the room, right? And it's like, think about it. If two people think that way, you immediately have conflict. How much time are you wasting letting people rent space in your head because you're obsessing about what they should or shouldn't be doing? Right? Wouldn't it be a more valuable use of your time to figure out how you could respond in a better way? Something I've been talking about lately is learning how to respond rather than react when you get emotional. But it's the worst thing that you can do, especially on Twitter and social media, is to send out that tweet or that Facebook post or whatever it is when you're highly emotional because you are reacting. You're reacting at a lot of times, you're feeding into exactly what the other person wants, but you say you don't want this person to keep being successful, keep making money, keep getting views or whatever that is, right? So what's the answer to all this? Guess what? It's mindfulness. It's mindfulness, you guys. When things happen, we pause, we check in with ourselves, we get curious and we say, why am I responding to this situation like this? All right. What would be a valuable use of my energy? Okay. Is this a healthy or unhealthy response? Is this useful or not useful to me? All right. Are there things that you could do by not giving somebody Logan Paul a response or somebody like Onion Boy a response that will still allow you to vent out your frustrations, right? Without giving them attention. Here's a couple of ideas. DM a friend, text a friend, all right? Journal, meditate. Okay. There's so many things that you can do because eventually, like we see with Onion Boy, his views and his subscribers are tanking. And so because more and more people are giving him less and less attention. A lot of you have requested for me to talk about them lately and I refuse to talk about that situation unless I feel that, you know, I can somehow provide another voice if legal action were to be taken. But other than that, I'm just not talking about it. All right. But anyways, you guys like, I appreciate everybody who has been reading, rewire your anger. I released it last month. I apologize. I still need to get on the audio book. But you guys, so much of the stuff in that book is what I just talked about in this video. So if you find that not just when a dumb YouTuber says something that you react in bad ways that are, you know, fueling the fire, like, yo, like check out the book. It's $5 and you can download the Kindle app for free on your tablet, on your, on your phone, on your computer, your laptop, whatever it is. All right. I just did a giveaway for it over on Instagram too. Make sure you're following me over on Instagram too, because I do giveaways and all that stuff. But anyways, like, yeah, just realize who in the spotlight is manipulating you and how to avoid it because this is actually happening to you, maybe in your workplace. Okay. Like let's talk about that real quick. Let's say there's somebody at your job that absolutely hates you and they give you a hard time every single day, right? Then you quit. Okay. Were you in control? No. They just played you like a puppet, right? You're out at the bar or, or wherever, maybe you're on social media and somebody just keeps jabbing at you, jabbing at you, jabbing at you. You have a public freak out who's in control, not you. All right. So get this thing under control, baby, start working on it. All right. But anyways, that's all I got for this video. If you struggle with anger issues or, uh, or controlling your anger, let me know down in the comments. I can make more videos about it and I have some more mindfulness videos coming out as well. All right. But anyways, if you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up. If you're new, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and a huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on Patreon. You're all amazing. And again, if you would like to be part of the Q and A or have some one-on-one calls with me or whatever that is, you can click the top on that Patreon icon right there. All right. Thanks so much for watching. I'll see you next time.
