The pandemic made me realize that I can’t live in a big city anymore. I feel like a hamster in a cage. I felt anxious all the time and smoked far too much. I decided to move back to my parents in the country side one month ago. I’m a new man now. I wake up early, I work out, i quit smoking. I have a new look on life and I feel at peace and relaxed. Working from home in these natural environment feels like heaven to me.
Dang ur living the dream
We are the products of our environment.
I like a mix of both. I moved to a mid-sized city. I love nature but I couldn't give up the good things about a city: better dating, better food, faster internet, closer stores, more things to do, etc.
What do you do to be able to work at home?
I love this, good for you 🙌🏾
“By physically travelling to new places, you mentally travel to new places..” - we all know this intuitively and yet it can be so hard to act on it. This sage advice
yes dream on LOL
the best place to travel is within to many people looking outside the box
If I had money to travel
Jesus said whoever is thirsty of water come to me and I'll fulfill you
You can mentally travel to new places by reading a book. Your local library has a few.
Your videos always know what I'm going through! 😳
Same. His videos always weirdly match the time when I need them the most.
So true
As he explained it's because you're into the RUclips circle algorithm.
It's the RUclips algorythm who know.
Or maybe he’s experiencing the same things as you
Who else is grateful for this channel? 🙌💜

Me, high-key. It's what motivates me to i.e. work out, and be productive overall.
Me :)
Meeeeee
this is one of the few productivity channels that actually manages to teach me something new. Also he has a calming voice lol
Damn this is exactly what I have been feeling lately
Ikr I guess it's not quiet of a surprise considering we've been in a quarantine for the past whole year.
Hell, not a whole lot changed for me in quarantine. I've been living in a very small mental and physical space for years. It has taken it's toll on me, despite me being primarily introverted. I didn't think it would be much worse than normal. Now it's just the world telling me "stay inside and away from other people" rather than me just doing it anyway.
@@XavierSIU It might be a bit different for me. I graduated high school in 2019 when I was 19 now today im 22, and still don't have an actual job and I have an ambition to be an author. Plus im an introvert, so I spend a lot of tie by myself. This quarantine has in a way really affected me. I guess it kinda makes me feel trapped and sad about my life soar after high school and what career path I wanna take.
@@theintrovertedaspie9095 damn, has it gotten any better yet?
@@XavierSIU I am a bit autistic so that might explain my situation.

Right when I was thinking "what am I doing with my life?"
@; always
The pandemic has proved that simple things like going out drastically help from reducing the bad feelings that come from excess time being stuck in your own thoughts.
I prefer to be with my own thoughts than have my thoughts infected by the average person... who is profoundly stupid and has nothing of real worth to say.
@anab0lic wow ur so enlightened
This pandemic made me realize that, if I have to improve myself, it starts with me. I am trying to start a baking business, beginning with selling health muffins first. Didn't go so well, but I will still try.
Also, I am working on another novel (I hope to see it as a graphic novel series)
@@RiotCyborg nothing to do with being 'enlightened', I just function cognitively at a higher level than most of society, that worryingly seems to be getting dumber and dumber.
@@anab0lic I can definitely relate
Why tf does this guy know what everyone is going through
We're all living miserable lives that's why
Probably a mix of everyone going through some shit and subscribing to data givers to see what we're all googling. It makes looking for topics to write about easier if you can see what demographics are searching what and what they're responding to.
@@jothishprabu8 @JOTHISH PRABU bro my life isnt really that miserable to be honest. Lol if you want to be happier in life just try and have a positive perspective and another thing is to find your purpose in life. Mine is my religion islam. I recommend you research it and all other ways of life and find the best one for you but be true to your heart and yourself lol safe.
@@nebiyu.a4695 NO RELIGION
@@Team_Slacker why no religion? You havent even researched about or read any religous books why are you jumping to conclusions?
Oh my goodness, I pretty much can relate to everything you said. Especially feeling stuck in my head, it can be miserable constantly being in your head.
Also, trying to do new things in your home itself opens up your mind and helps you to get out of that mental rut.
Really? I think it's entertaining, intellectually stimulating and comforting. :-)
"Getting out" for me at least doesn't change anything. I'm stuck in a cycle of depression, anxiety, sudden burst of motivation and this "feeling stuck" feeling.
Everything feels weird, other people feel empty to me like puppets stuck in a matrix. Working a job feels pointless as much as doing nothing. It feels like my brain started to work manualy like I changed dimensions or something and everyone tells me its normal or ok to feel like this.
Everything I do feels like I'm wasting time, but for what? Everything, happyness, sadness, joy or pain.
You read my thoughts exactly! I'm going through this right now and it's so strange to me. I'm in this annoying mental lingo and feel like I'm wasting my life away. I find it difficult to wake myself up out of this. It feels like a curse.
@@VaniZo-jm2tl If there's anything that the covid lockdown did for me was made me more isolated. I also find myself in a similar position where I do find this energy to get things done but overtime I often lose that energy. At this moment I've made some small changes but overall I know that I must make even bigger ones in order to simply seek out what I'm looking for.
This is what I’ve been going through every day
Bro this vid is spot on. In Quarantine it really felt like everyday just blended into one long day.
I'm still trapped inside :(
I'm not any good at socializing (I'm old, and my friends are getting married and so on) so I have now focused in growing my skills in arts and crafting, and I have to say that those activities are improving my mental health by a lot.
do whatever makes you happy and makes you feel good with yourself man
Proud of you to have find happiness on your own that my guy is an accomplishment on it's own keep doing that and stay healthy my guy
By doing what you love you'll end up in a path with like minded people... just keep doing what you love
Bro, the timing couldnt be much better! Thank you
But your music genre makes my day. Listening to it for the last 5 years, keep up your work, you are making many people's day.
how are things going for you now?
I'm stuck in a PhD in the fourth year. None of my papers ever gets accepted. I hate it, but I am not ready to give up on it because I have invested everything in it. My whole life and Health. But everyday I wish it was over.
Here's some harsh truth for you: You probably feel stuck because your are stuck. Our emotion follows our motion. But don't worry, start taking small steps everyday and you'll get out of your rut. Stay blessed y'all. 🧡
thanks :)

I confess that nowadays I've been really stuck in my own life, I got depression, not sleeping too well, complaining all over my ears, my house seems like it's shrinking and I feel like living in a cage, school is bad, it all started in the end of 2019, when I realized how life works, I was living something hard, I got worried, my life was just changing so fast, parents, friends, physical, mental healthy, I started to live alone for a while just to think about it all, then I thought a lot, I got depression in the beginning of 2022, grades went way down at school, parents blaming me all the time, thanks to Joey I am improving my life as little as I can, thx a lot bro
Are u better?
People who feel trapped often showcase the inability to say “no”. Sometimes, it's this inability that leads them to the life that they're living now. They won't be able to say no to their family, to their partner, to their friends, to their boss or to their coworkers.
It's a balance, overdoing both the "yes" or the "no" will probably not be the best route for the general person.
So true this is a struggle
I can’t even say no to myself most of the time.
Wow, this made something click for me. You're so right.
This reminds me of the pain management phenomenon where focusing on something or things outside of yourself helps relieve pain. It opens up your mind to everything else that is happening around you, giving perspective to it, and helping you to move past what you are feeling in that moment. You make great videos man! Very needed!
Hey my Dad told me that once!
Sir is there a name for that phenomenon?
This is the longest "Go touch some grass" roast ever. XD
Its so sad because when covid started i literally just graduated high school ready to move on with my life, but literally couldnt (at least to the extent i wanted to go) i feel lost in life right now with no sense of direction. I know i gotta work to have a house, food etc but at what cost? My youth? My time? I feel like im being left behind and no one even sees me. It feels like im drowning and people walk by, they may even glance but no one helps..
i was almost happy when quarantine started in the beginning of 2020, i didn't realize over the course of 1.5 years i will be in the worst mental state of my life. I'd feel guilty of taking pleasure from over stimulating things. I realized that reasonable amount of suffering may also be necessary.
you make me want to engage in a longer conversation w you... I share my empathy first of all. :) And Im curious about the guilt you describe. My story is certainly similar, yet for me, the pandemic resembled a solid personal 10 years of disease that i had gone through, in a confinement of my own. I mean that i was taken away from my birth nation upon contracting mono (you can call it the worst marriage arrangement in the free world). I literally watched the world start understanding my situation.. i saw us all experience the inability to work normally, the separation from loved ones, isolation, everything Id been. I often wondered if anyone of you felt trapped against their will down to developing muscle cramps and migraines that further paralyzed them. not even metaphorically. (Im ready to hug anyone who's gone through such pain ♥︎ this loss of freedom)
Im not a moody person in life, for real, Im a really uplifted gal hehe Sh** just happens to the best of us.
..I want to finish w saying i literally became a zoom meeting star for children now haha... I taught art and very funny storytellings during the pandemic. There s an outcome at some point.,goddammit. hehe Now I just feel so ahead, i use the desperate collective situation to fill ppl with sunshine (im being so tacky here)haha But no joking, this has illuminated my heart, schedule and even bank account. So I strongly believe there is tremendous potential to open right now. For all of us. Even if me too, im not out of the woods yet.
(did any of this make sense? haha not sure)
peace to you, im still curious about the guilt. and anyone who felt understood in this video, ONE LOVE
It was f***ing great.
I miss work; I miss going to bookshops and buying new comics; I miss walking through streets and mall, just exploring; Most of all, I miss wanting to explore new options so as to start again my home baking business from scratch.
Life is mostly suffering in the hopes of having the chance of pleasure.
Hey, you speak my mind! Same with me! Word by word! I would be happy if I can connect with you & all who are going through the same pattern at life currently!
@@CaroLMilo-yz7fk I’m going through the same what @seaque mentioned & I’m trying to get out of it. Please, if possible can we connect in insta or anywhere? I would really like to get out of rut inside my head :/

@@gustavooliveira2457 Ahahah we sold it to build monuments 😂
You just perfectly described what's been happening to me for the last couple months. I left my job because of burnout, and I thought the cure was some serious solitude and downtime. And yes, that's part of it, but 3 months in, and I've had too much. I literally was switching into what you described as the existential dread, my thoughts becoming more and more pessimistic (not what you want when you're focused on getting well). So I started doing ehat you recommend and just got out of the house. Started learning piano, came up with a new work plan that has nothing to do with my past career. And I feel more hopeful, life feels less small. Thanks for the great content. Wishing anyone reading this peace and access to the outdoors 💜
You're such an inspiration
So much respect from Tunisia
Hi, I'm from Egypt 🇪🇬❤️
I don’t think I got this video recommended by chance. I needed to hear this.
It’s funny how simple the solutions to a lot of our problems are, I really appreciate your videos. It seems like we overcomplicate our inner struggles a lot of the time and it prevents us from seeing the path forward. Keep the uplifting content coming!
I’m such an introvert and I love being alone but I know this is what I need to do. I’ve gotten to the point of questioning my existence and now I know why. You don’t know how much this video means to me, thank you!
Hi madam, how is your progress? Managed to get out more?
I’ve travelled. Met people. Been kind. Tried to keep my relationships at peace. Even tried to regrow some. But yet I feel empty. Stuck. One of my close friends tells me I’m stuck and need to grow and the place I’m in isn’t good for me. I felt that. My other friends who’s smoke and party are happy to see me and love me being here. But I feel I need to do more. I work out, I hike and play with my dogs. But after leaving the military nothing makes sense. Truly makes sense. So I’m thinking of becoming a cop but even that in some way is nagging me
Hold it together everybody, you’re not alone.
“Life’s a happy song….”

This guy has mastered how to catch our interest with these relatable titles lol, good grind my man you’re going big time 💪
No joke I started getting obsessed with this girl over this entire lockdown eventually getting diagnosed with clinical depression and bpd....I need to escape this place asap
How did this happen?
@@ShahabAhmad1398 bcz the girl is my batchmate and I had a crush on her....then I told her that and we had a long convo but then she likes a senior and then yeah I just coudnt let go...and boom started going downhill
@@realzhella6817 I broke up with my gf this year and it hurt wayyyy more than I expected to the point where I was obsessed with having an answer for "Why it happened". Eventually I just thought to myself why care about an answer/things you can't control. Why care about people who are robbing you of time, memories, and happiness.
I'm sitting at home since December without work, any hobbies (games addiction only), but with depression. I don't feel that half of the year has passed, cause, really, all days are the same. It's awful. Thank you for the video, I'll try to go out of this
i had to rewatch this immediatly, it was probably my favorite vid of yours
That awkward yet joyous moment when Joey uploads more than once a month.
This video has described most of my adult life, I never needed much of an excuse to stay inside, covid and working from home amplified the situation. It got to the point that just doing the food shop became the most exciting time of my week. I tend to do a lot more thinking and a lot less doing. It won’t be easy to change but I know I can’t keep living like this
(FACTS OVA FEELINGS). So Many People are Stuck because They don't actually want awareness they want to feel good they don't understand that awareness is the path that they will have to take in order to genuinely get them there
This is exactly what I’ve been thinking! My friends usually tell me that I have to learn to be by myself and enjoy doing things alone. I understand their point of view but I never feel like being told that helps. Now I know that if I’m feeling down it’s because either my room is messy or I haven’t socialized enough. Thank you!
Man life hard rn, I was born with teen parents so the struggle was hard as a baby even though I had a home, my parents broke up and I stayed with my mom, I will say I always had a home but I always moved to a new crib every few months, every year, even every few years and I’m moving again, I will say I’m 17 so I’m not even living the hardest yet, but going to school I never made friends I was always to myself, my everyday life for 17 years has been so boring, I’ve never really went out of state but Carolina all around. Never been to Florida or really around NY and I’d love to do vacations, for tradition and holidays I do absolutely nothing, I tried getting relationships but they all sucked, I never have a transportation out anywhere to go outside, I never went on vacation with friends and I’ve seen that and had jealousy, I smoked too much and all day but finally quit but still live life miserable! I’ve never really had any new experiences to anything, I’ve tried seeing a rapper at a concert for 2 years straight but was cancelled both years and I’ve never been to a concert so that’s just depressing! I was told I need a new environment around me but I have a small family and whenever I wanted to move with specifics my mother never allowed me. Life is short and I’d never even got to live the good vibes yet even though I’m still a kid this world is expensive, I’d always thought I’d I should just let god take be because I’m tired of my lifetime honestly
I love that you don't have big intellectual commentaries about self improvement. Everything you say is so digestible. Keep up the great work
Wow you’ve litterally described me for the past year and why I was so stuck and felt so lonely and depressed. I’d been so stuck and sucked into watching hustle culture on RUclips and isolated myself. Thanks for this video ❤
"New experiences open your world up and make your life feel more significant." Such an inspiring video and statement! 👏
I really needed to hear it! I can literally relate to every word. I wish whoever feels the same may heal soon.
This pandemic, I hate starting at the computer most of the day. I miss just walking outside and exploring, searching for a new book to read and most of all, talking to others.
How is your goverment dealing with Covid? Are this things still closed at your place?
@@grunpfeilschild3996 Slowly, the government is lifting restrictions. Even so, this pandemic has taught me to be more careful with my money, and I hope to start investing my savings. Also, I am trying to finish a book, another one completed that I hope to self publish.

Heart heals to see guys like you trying soo hard to cheer up depressed and anxious people. It's a very noble thing to do in someone lifetime. Thank you.
This hit on a different level. After a semester of studying, I'm back at my parents' house. My dad is an obsessive hoarder and the literal decrease in square feet in my house feels so incredibly restricting and has been affecting my mental state.
I hope things have improved 😮
The level of awareness dude I can relate 100% with this video
How do this guy knows my situation every single time. 🤔
Bro I like your videos and your style. Your way of teaching and talking is unique and hits different. I live alone, introverted but tryna change that.
Hope all is well to everyone tuning in.
Well for me it couldn’t be worse
Watching from 10-day isolation, grabbing this advice with both hands (and feet) when I bust out on Tuesday morning! Thank you Joey!
I think he is the only person on RUclips, who does not recommended us to watch his other videos, but instead tells us to get off RUclips at the end of his video.
Great respect to you!
You really care about our wellbeing..🧒🏽
Couldnt agree more! I spend 99% of my time doing the same thing; Indoors, on youtube, playing games, etc. Some of it thanks to COVID, but also because i dont have much of a social life, or any inspiration to do anything or experience things. But somedays when im feeling different, ill go for a walk to a park or drive to like a lookout, and as soon as im somewhere new, my mind feels at ease, more clear, open and just feel like a new person. I want to continue to explore, experience new things and open my mind up to the greater world, instead of slaving away infront of my computer/phone, repeating the same day over and over again
“The physical environment in which you are apart of is an extension of yourself….the physical size, the literal square footage, is sort of the square footage of your existential surroundings”

This is incredibly relevant to my life right now! My world is feeling very small at the moment.
Same here
Learn to live without friends, leisure activities and things that you rely on. Enjoy life as it naturally is And Then bring those things back in and life will be amazing, you won't be relying on those things so whether they are their or not, life is good
Even if you live alone, it's best to explore and connect with others
How does one live without relying on something or someone? I'm really struggling.
@@deepakchris284 Everyone's situation is different but you should spent time alone for the most part, not needing to go out with people, or if you do go, go alone. And for leisure activities just cut down on them a lot. They are wants not needs. If you can live happy without relying on these things, when you bring them back in everything will more enjoyable.
At least in my experience
man i have seen a lot of self-imiprovement youtubers and u are the more realistic and inspiring, thanks man
I don't know if it's coincidence or something but your videos always come in the right time
Beautiful video! I've been babysitting my sister (2) for the past year and everyday is the same. Wake up, breakfast, wash dishes, play time, lunch, wash dishes, bathe my sister, a nap, clean the house, and then my parents come home. I try to do things at night but my parents usually hand off my sister to me to talk to my uncles across the street or to do something else entirely so it's hard for me to focus on school preparation or my hobbies. I'm not trying to whine or complain because I love my sister very much and understand that my parents are tired as well but the mundane routine has slowly chipped away at my mind over the past year so now when I try to do my hobbies or school work, it's hard for me to focus and work. I do try to do small things every now and then and that does help but then the mundane routine of babysitting gets at me once again and I feel empty and unfocused.
This video really put into words what's been going on in my mind for the past year. I've had this feeling for so long but had no words to explain it. Beautiful video and very eye opening for someone who has gotten used to a daily routine.
What about if you feel stuck , but cannot do anything about it because of monetary reasons? Any advice on that? Please let me know

The quarantine is often compared to prison. Need to keep a routine to don't loose your mind.
As Jocko Wellins said "in even bad situation, you need to find the positive, there is always something positive to get, so when something bad happen, say "good"."
I understood that it was an opportunity to me and I mustn't waste it. I took that time (and still) to ask myself about my future, and take classes about many themes to feed my mind, learned new thing that usually I don't have time to. Tried to don't loose all my time on Netflix without goal.
Thanks for the motivation.
Sitting at home or going out, I end up feeling the same anyway.
There's nothing I want to do in life, I am only interested in things that don't end up in good job opportunities.
And the one thing that does, you need to be insanely lucky to blink out in.
I'm just stuck in a forever loop trying to find out wtf I want to do in life.
The precision of your videos is honestly amazing
Such a great video as usual. Crescent beach made a cameo, love it.

Pandemia has just proved that all what you’re saying is real. The way how insolation impacts straight into mental health
Yesssss. All of this. I signed up for an archery lesson next week. Things and activities to look forward to is so important.
