• 00:02 - 00:03

  Hello, everyone.

• 00:03 - 00:06

  I just wanted it pop in on this video to

• 00:06 - 00:08

  talk about one of the motivations for the good men

• 00:09 - 00:10

  strong men program on.

• 00:10 - 00:12

  And that has to come to the realization that there's

• 00:13 - 00:14

  a lot of people out there.

• 00:14 - 00:18

  Maybe you're one who suffers what ah, lot of people

• 00:18 - 00:19

  have labeled as a mood disorder.

• 00:20 - 00:21

  So what?

• 00:21 - 00:23

  Depression is definitely one of those.

• 00:23 - 00:26

  And if you're watching this video during the time that

• 00:26 - 00:29

  this is made during the cove it 19 the Corona

• 00:30 - 00:34

  virus Ah, lot of us have been, uh, sheltering in

• 00:34 - 00:36

  place. We weren't able to get out of out of

• 00:36 - 00:36

  our homes.

• 00:37 - 00:41

  And those moves, those depressive mood start to see, been

• 00:41 - 00:42

  a little bit.

• 00:42 - 00:44

  And I want to let you know that this is

• 00:44 - 00:48

  something that I can relate with you on again.

• 00:48 - 00:50

  One out of every three people or one out of

• 00:50 - 00:52

  every four, depending on which studies you follow.

• 00:52 - 00:56

  Say we're all going to fall through depression, and that

• 00:56 - 00:59

  may have risen during these stressful times.

• 01:00 - 01:02

  So I want to talk about that a little bit

• 01:02 - 01:05

  because, uh, we want to be able to overcome those

• 01:06 - 01:07

  things through the right mindset.

• 01:07 - 01:12

  into the best action possible, and we want to recognize

• 01:13 - 01:14

  the things that are going to influence our mood.

• 01:15 - 01:19

  Um, that we know where we can change and be

• 01:19 - 01:22

  better and stronger than the whole that depression can have

• 01:23 - 01:23

  on a lot of us.

• 01:24 - 01:26

  So let's get right into its talk about the 1st

• 01:26 - 01:29

  1 and not being your diet.

• 01:30 - 01:34

  We're gonna talk about how that died affects us because

• 01:35 - 01:39

  research has shown that if you know, we eat food,

• 01:39 - 01:42

  that tastes good and there is a certain a certain

• 01:43 - 01:45

  measure of joy that we get out of that maybe

• 01:45 - 01:47

  is because this is what we're used to eating as

• 01:47 - 01:49

  a kid, and it takes us back to how we

• 01:49 - 01:52

  bonded with her friends or with our family, our how

• 01:52 - 01:54

  it kind of comforted us when we needed that comfort

• 01:55 - 01:58

  food. Does that And, ah, lot of delicious food.

• 01:59 - 02:02

  We know it seems to not be good for our

• 02:02 - 02:05

  health, but what we may not understand or realize is

• 02:05 - 02:09

  that it actually has a very profound effect on on

• 02:09 - 02:09

  our mood.

• 02:11 - 02:12

  I know this was presented to me once from a

• 02:12 - 02:16

  friend. I was eating pizza from a popular pizza chain,

• 02:17 - 02:19

  and I offered my friend a slice of this pizza.

• 02:20 - 02:23

  He said, I don't eat that garbage Garbage is is

• 02:24 - 02:25

  it makes you feel terrible.

• 02:25 - 02:27

  And I was just like, You don't know what you're

• 02:27 - 02:27

  talking about.

• 02:28 - 02:31

  What I noticed is that after I ate what he

• 02:31 - 02:35

  called his garbage, my mood completely changed.

• 02:36 - 02:40

  I was very irritable, grouchy and had a hard time

• 02:40 - 02:40

  controlling it.

• 02:41 - 02:44

  I had a hard time understanding why, considering that today

• 02:45 - 02:46

  has been a very good day.

• 02:47 - 02:51

  What I had noticed from then on was when I

• 02:51 - 02:53

  ate trash and I ate garbage.

• 02:54 - 02:59

  My mood changed and it was a lot easier to

• 02:59 - 03:02

  fall into depression, and there was a lot harder to

• 03:02 - 03:03

  control my attitude.

• 03:06 - 03:09

  What we eat has an effect on the mood that

• 03:10 - 03:10

  you have.

• 03:11 - 03:14

  It has an effect on your ability to handle the

• 03:14 - 03:17

  stress that may be influencing your depression.

• 03:19 - 03:21

  Not only that, but when we eat food that are

• 03:21 - 03:22

  high it that is high in salt.

• 03:23 - 03:26

  Ah, high in sugar at high in certain things is

• 03:26 - 03:29

  just going to naturally make you Maura tire.

• 03:30 - 03:32

  So when you're more tired, you're moody.

• 03:32 - 03:33

  You're gaining weight.

• 03:33 - 03:36

  It's going to be a lot harder to handle the

• 03:36 - 03:39

  stress of the day, the stress that may be influencing

• 03:41 - 03:42

  your depression or leading you there.

• 03:44 - 03:47

  So if you can control or at least start to

• 03:47 - 03:50

  improve, I would never tell you need it, like start

• 03:50 - 03:53

  eating nothing but celery and carrots because we do need

• 03:54 - 03:54

  to enjoy last week.

• 03:55 - 03:57

  We do enjoy those trees and they have a purpose.

• 03:58 - 04:01

  But we would want to start Teoh, make a plan

• 04:02 - 04:05

  to improve our diet, knowing that it's not just about

• 04:06 - 04:09

  the physical, but it's about controlling our emotions in our

• 04:09 - 04:14

  attitude now, going along with that with your diet.

• 04:15 - 04:21

  Obviously it's ah related to your body, and sometimes we

• 04:21 - 04:23

  look ourselves in the mirror and we don't look what

• 04:23 - 04:24

  like what we did before.

• 04:25 - 04:27

  Or part of the depressive attitude is that we will

• 04:28 - 04:30

  compare ourselves to others in their situation.

• 04:31 - 04:34

  And as we're feeling terrible about ourselves and then we

• 04:34 - 04:37

  look on social media or in a magazine or on

• 04:37 - 04:40

  TV about these people that seem to be happy and

• 04:40 - 04:42

  they look a certain way and maybe they're getting attention

• 04:43 - 04:46

  and getting dates and we're not, it affects our mood.

• 04:47 - 04:51

  We feel less sexy to ourselves, mentalist attracted to ourselves

• 04:52 - 04:52

  and to others.

• 04:54 - 04:58

  Our energy is a lot lower also, which again affects

• 05:00 - 05:04

  our ability to feel like we're capable when we are

• 05:04 - 05:05

  overweight or Opie's.

• 05:07 - 05:10

  We feel less capable to just do that everyday things,

• 05:11 - 05:12

  let alone do anything athletic.

• 05:13 - 05:14

  I know that was the case for me.

• 05:15 - 05:16

  Overcoming depression.

• 05:17 - 05:20

  I was always a very skinny kid, always very active,

• 05:21 - 05:21

  always very athletic.

• 05:22 - 05:26

  And then, because of situations, I allowed myself to become

• 05:27 - 05:29

  overweight for the first time in my life.

• 05:29 - 05:31

  And I felt tired, wasn't it?

• 05:31 - 05:32

  Didn't feel attractive.

• 05:33 - 05:35

  Um, and I was not able to run this fast

• 05:36 - 05:40

  or as long or as like, my physical capabilities were

• 05:40 - 05:43

  far less, and that affected what I was able to

• 05:43 - 05:45

  do on a day to day basis or the energy

• 05:46 - 05:47

  to go hang out with my friends.

• 05:50 - 05:55

  So re shaping or improving your body image is going

• 05:55 - 05:59

  to naturally happen when you change your diet and when

• 05:59 - 06:00

  you become more active through exercise.

• 06:02 - 06:06

  But when we increase our capacity to doom or we

• 06:06 - 06:08

  start to feel better about our body, even if we're

• 06:09 - 06:12

  still kind of not at the weight, we want to

• 06:12 - 06:13

  or not at the look that we want to.

• 06:14 - 06:17

  When we start to see those improvements, we start to

• 06:17 - 06:17

  overcome depression.

• 06:21 - 06:25

  Another thing that influences depression and our mindset is toxic

• 06:26 - 06:30

  relationships, and I think this needs very little explanation.

• 06:30 - 06:33

  We've all been in toxic relationships now.

• 06:33 - 06:33

  Some of them.

• 06:33 - 06:34

  It might be because of family.

• 06:35 - 06:36

  Maybe we have issues with our parents or siblings.

• 06:38 - 06:39

  For some of us, it's, ah, relationships.

• 06:40 - 06:45

  He had a boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse, and coming home to

• 06:45 - 06:49

  them did not make us feel good.

• 06:50 - 06:55

  Even if they're not a bad person does not mean

• 06:55 - 06:57

  that they are good for us.

• 06:58 - 07:01

  You know, if things were feeling very toxic again, this

• 07:01 - 07:03

  is something a place that I came from my relationship.

• 07:04 - 07:08

  I was married for nine years, and my my ex

• 07:08 - 07:10

  wife from my now ex wife, my then wife, was

• 07:11 - 07:12

  was not a terrible person.

• 07:14 - 07:16

  But there were just some things about the relationship that

• 07:17 - 07:21

  just didn't work, and it made it harder for meat.

• 07:21 - 07:26

  Oh, to feel good, coming home and being home.

• 07:28 - 07:30

  If that's the case for you, it's something that has

• 07:30 - 07:32

  to be acknowledged and recognized.

• 07:33 - 07:35

  There are certain things that we can do to try

• 07:35 - 07:39

  to improve the relationship or change that situation, but understanding

• 07:39 - 07:40

  where it comes from.

• 07:41 - 07:43

  If that is something that when you come home, you

• 07:43 - 07:46

  find yourself less motivated to do positive things.

• 07:47 - 07:54

  It is something that needs to be addressed and last

• 07:55 - 07:55

  that we're gonna talk about.

• 07:56 - 07:58

  Our finance isn't work now.

• 07:59 - 08:00

  We've all been under stress before with finances.

• 08:02 - 08:05

  Even if you have finances to cover your bills comfortably,

• 08:06 - 08:08

  it doesn't necessarily mean that the stress is taken away

• 08:09 - 08:10

  when you goto work or having a fight through the

• 08:10 - 08:15

  traffic. Maybe we don't even feel fulfilled in our current

• 08:16 - 08:19

  job. So if we're not fulfilled in what we're doing,

• 08:19 - 08:20

  we just feel like the job is just a job.

• 08:21 - 08:23

  It's not giving us a real purpose, a sense of

• 08:23 - 08:26

  purpose other than a paycheck, or when we do get

• 08:27 - 08:30

  that paycheck and we're barely able to make things work,

• 08:32 - 08:36

  we won't feel successful even if we have been able

• 08:36 - 08:37

  to pay bills.

• 08:37 - 08:40

  Even if we have a good paying job, we won't

• 08:41 - 08:46

  feel successful unless one, uh, we feel fulfilled at work,

• 08:46 - 08:49

  and we are also able to take care of her

• 08:49 - 08:52

  family to where we're not having to struggle every day.

• 08:54 - 08:57

  So if your diet affects your mood, if your body

• 08:58 - 09:02

  and image and your physical abilities are hindering you from

• 09:03 - 09:05

  what you really want, if you're in that toxic relationship,

• 09:07 - 09:09

  if you're at a job that you don't really enjoy

• 09:09 - 09:12

  or having a hard time making ends meet, what do

• 09:12 - 09:12
