 With all the controversy surrounding Shane Dawson right now, I thought this was the perfect time to make a video about why you should be more like Shane Dawson to improve your mental health. Stay tuned to find out why. What's up everybody this is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution. The other day I made a video about how to handle an existential crisis and here's a quick clip in case you missed it. I just laugh when I hear people talk about this existential crisis. I'm like wow like all you got to do is make your purpose about helping others and not only you're helping yourself but you're making this world a little bit better of a place. So when I made that video it was talking about how people are searching for this meaning this purpose right and I talked about how like my purpose is just to help people. It gives me something to work towards every single day and I think Shane is a prime example of that. Recently, recently he has done things that are just so inspiring to me. So let me let me lay down some groundwork real quick. Being a new YouTuber you know I've been at it about six months like it's rough especially with the uphill battle I'm doing trying to talk about mental health addiction you know all these like subjects that nobody really likes talking about so it's very uphill and you know I reach out and I've met a lot of fantastic people. So this is actually requested by my friend Chris from the Rewired Soul Soul. He does a lot of videos on mental health and things like that so credit goes or shout out goes out to him thank you for giving me this idea because I'm really happy with how it turned out so go check his channel out doesn't know I'm saying this but go check him out and tell him pink up and he sent you and I keep hitting the tree oh my god but like it it's difficult it's still difficult to grow and gain an audience and get your name out there and all that kind of stuff but recently like looking at people like Shane I'm like man like more people should be like Shane and not to help me out like I'm going to touch on this in a minute but not for selfish purposes but anyways like so those of you who haven't been tuning in to Shane's channel like so this guy Bobby Burns this dude Bobby Burns makes a hate video just straight up bashing Shane right bashing his conspiracy theories and Shane watches it hilarious video by the way him watching it but then he invites this dude out to his house so Shane's already had practice confronting people like yo like what's up let's let's talk this out like holy crap like if only more people could do that most people on this planet they're either super aggressive right or they're very passive aggressive like not just on the internet and the internet it's its own monster but just with the people in our lives right like you just don't you don't like Janet from accounting or you don't like that neighbor right and you do these like terrible things but Shane brought Bobby onto his channel and showed what it's like to just have this conversation and even though they didn't fully agree they came to terms and they developed this friendship but in the meantime while Shane was doing that he got to know Bobby a little bit more in his struggle and Shane was able to empathize with Bobby knowing that Bobby wanted to grow his channel and Bobby kind of had to do what he had to do and some of the videos he made was just blasting other youtubers just so it would get views and then Shane rather than holding on to this resentment towards Bobby Shane helped Bobby out and did some collabs and Bobby's channel exploded I was watching I think he was at about like 300k subscribers and now he's like almost doubled it right but even more recently and it's so disgusting and sad that this this other channel when they did this video that is accusing Shane they used Shane's most recent act of altruism to try to slander him but those of you who didn't see Shane was just chilling with his boyfriend Ryland and he came across a video of this amazing young woman amazing young woman on YouTube and he's sitting there he's like this girl's awesome why doesn't she have more views and just out of nowhere like Shane's just like yo I'm gonna hit this girl up and I'm gonna promote the heck out of her like she deserves this right so one of the one of the hardest things to teach one of the hardest things to teach to people and it's something I try to teach my clients every day is to get out of self-seeking so many of us our default mode is to only do things if we get something in return and it's this crazy kind of tug-of-war that we play with our fellow humans all the time like think about it real quick think about it like what did Shane really gain from bringing Bobby on his channel what did Shane really gain from bringing Sophie on his channel not much it was all for them you know and he just did it out of the kindness of his heart and you know what's amazing about it and this is the reason why I'm saying what you can learn from Shane Dawson check out this clip because this is exactly why so as you saw right there like do you see that did you see that look in his eyes did you see that feeling he got like he felt good he felt good about doing it like the way the brain works our brain is set up on this cycle to chase rewards like when you're reward when you realize that a great reward for your brain is to do nice things for other people just because you start to want to do it more and more and more and like it really sucks that you know Shane you know he got pushed a step back with the recent rumors and everything going on about him but like I don't even know if Shane realizes that he is progressing in his mental health which is something that I try to teach people at a drug and alcohol treatment center and Shane is doing it naturally he is giving without expecting anything in return and you know I felt it necessary to make this video because I don't think many people understand you know how important this is and like and with with 11 11 million subscribers on his channel like the inspiration and the message that he's putting out there like basically all summed up go out there do good things for other people don't expect anything in return like it's it's amazing it's amazing and a lot of people should be looking up to him so as I mentioned in my last video I know Shane's gonna get through this he has awesome support all day on Twitter I've just seen his fans tweeting out stuff and things like that so like I'm really impressed by with what Shane's been doing and if you're a fan of his like you know I hope that you truly appreciate everything that he's putting out there to kind of show you show you how you can become a better person too all right but hey like I'm trying to get Shane's attention and be like yo dude hey you're doing great right so if you're a fan of his and you stumbled across this video go ahead and tweet it at him I'm not trying to get no popularity off it I just want to help this dude out but I was telling somebody else on Twitter earlier like I don't really care if he sees this or not you know if if people just randomly come across this video or even my current audience comes across this video I hope they check out his channel and you know what I'm actually going to link it on the end screen so I'm just here purely purely purely to try to help as many people
