A very good definition of full time travel. Fancy clothes I also never take with me, when I am traveling. But I’m also happy to come back to my ordinary life from time to time. And rest.
Mine says 3hrs today, including this video viewing on my phone, before I go sleep, to get a dose of Rogan Steele haha. Love the talk, great reminder too 😃 love the place your in, looks so chill too - Mark
I deleted instagram about 3 months ago. Feel pretty good tbh, no more scrolling reels. However, sitting on the toilet for a number 2 was at first very boring lol
I’ve just gone into my phone settings and realized that my “ screen time” was turned off. I’ve turned it on and given myself 1hr per day limit. I’m going to see how that goes before I decide whether or not to delete my social media altogether. Good video. I think a lot of us are wrestling with exactly the same thing.
Tried looking for it in the past. Over saturated market even 12 years ago, including paid sites. A person opens up a spot and there's tons of candidates, nobody "hires" you. Didn't try Australia, though. Only Canada, Scotland, England and Sweden. Same with Netherlands. I even tried it in Brazil hoping I'd hop here and there for fun, no luck. If you need affordable (but not free) housing, you are much better of with anti squat. Here in The Netherlands it helped me a lot, lived in one for more than a year. You usually pay a much lower rent and you have a strict contract that requires you to leave the premises on short notice, you're not allowed to have children or pets and you have to look after the property and actually live/stay there (they sometimes even send people to surprise visit you to be sure you're not leaving the property empty, since many people try to rent those properties to have an official residential address only). I have to say I didn't look into it, anymore, since 2018, due to my previous failures and the fact I didn't need it again, after that.
They also greatly benefit from the exchange 🙂 Pet care/kennels are extremely expensive. Also less stressful for your pets if they get to stay in there own home ❤️
@@Roostersteele I think you're onto something: helping people find better life alternatives in a world where work is much more flexible. There's so much content you could create around this, and at the same time, there's a growing audience for it 👌
Yes lad! It's a bloody great lifestyle.. reckon we'll dip in and out of it for life! #DesignALife wait till you get a gaf with a jacuzzi 🤤 Great video!
@@Roostersteele The van has defo been the calm amongst the storms in between housesits! Everything you need in one place + more, don't even need to pack a bag.. you just move clothes from housesit wardrobe to van wardrobe!
For me it was a combination of alcohol and isolation that lead me down a dark path. It was a self-sustaining process. It took a few years but I realize how much better off I am mentally now than I was. I still have a drink every now and then but have got to the point where I can enjoy a single beer or cocktail and not NEED to pickup a 12 pack on the way home and get blitzed
That’s awesome man. Thanks for sharing. I’m sure your experience is similar to many others out there. Definitely the sort of healthy relationship with Alcohol that I’m looking for in the future.
You are right but I draw a slightly different conclusion. The underlying point in this video is an acknowledgment that booze in fact adds something positive (however small in the grand scheme of things) and when you quit you lose that small benefit. The trick as the young man explain is to continue to patiently expand life without booze so that you discover more and more unknown fulfilment.
This video title is irresponsible. Of course your life isn't gonna magically change when you quit booze. You quit booze so you don't become an alcoholic, that's why. That's why I quit. Because daily drinking and hiding bottles and using alcohol for every emotion was not normal or healthy and I knew that I was on my way to becoming a full blown alcoholic, when quitting on your own becomes impossible. I quit just before then. On my own, cold turkey, just before New Year's Eve 2008. The first year of sobriety was a fog. I counted the days, then weeks, then months. It wasn't until year 2 that I started noticing real changes in my body and spirit. I lost weight, significant weight, was motivated to exercise and take care of myself, I had more self-love. The benefits of zero booze don't come immediately and sometimes they don't come for a year or longer. But they come, trust me they come. And my social life actually improved around year 2. I was able to see people for who they were, sans beer goggles. I made more meaningful friendships. And I saved money. The amount of $ I spent on daily drinking was staggering. So, yes, the benefits are countless but don't expect them to come immediately.
Thank you for sharing your story. I think more people would benefit greatly from seeing this kind of real perspective ❤️ unfortunately almost no one shares it on RU-vid.
Awesome video.I fell into the self improvement trap before and what I realized is that we all get by how we get by. If you or your loved ones lives aren't impacted by the way you live and you can be successful in your eyes... then fuck it! Let it be. Its a long life. You just gotta live it.
better sleep. phsyical feeling better. but still have the same anxiety. might even get worse since im not out as much as before. Avoiding people to stay focused and on track. Its a tough one. Not trying to promote drink or whatever but yeah. its definetly not as much un as everyone says it is.
So, drink then. Why stay sober if it’s not better? Because it is better. That’s why. My entire family abuses alcohol. Maybe other alcoholics find them fun but sober people find them obnoxious and irritable.
I actually never mentioned whether being sober or not was a better way of life. I want to continue sobriety as I know good things take time, and patience is necessary before I may see actual change. Sorry to hear about your family. As I mentioned in the video I understand it does real damage to many people. But perspective in our society is more important than ever.
Gave up power drinking cold turkey in 2007, after 25 solid years of drinking. Things that happened..... Body craved carbs, consumed 3 iced coffee per day with chocolate bars. Gut and moobs remained. Depression/anxiety became more pronounced. Fast forward to 2020 I discovered Keto diet, Dr Berg on YT. 5 months lost 18 kilograms, fog of depression lifted, new sense of enjoyment for life. Summarize, the carbs in the booze and rubbish food are a curse on society.
Stoked to hear that you’ve found more enjoyment in life and a lifestyle that works for you ❤️ Diet definitely plays a massive role in the overall quality of our lives.
1. You're not pouring poison/ethanol down your throat destroying your body including your liver. 2. Better clarity, health, sleep, energy. Better skin, no stomach pain. 3. No GOUT. The joints feel better. No beer belly. Taste and smell better, no body odor and stink. Feel clean! 4. Save cash. Not having to worry about always having booze around. 5. No hangovers. 6. I love being free from the poison. The liver, heart, and pancreas all take a beating. CANCER RISK. Impact on others - family. 7. Alcohol has NO nutritional value - none! That includes red wine. The alcohol in wine obliterates any nutritional value received from rotten grapes.
I appreciate your perspective. Speaking of perspectives, from my own, I know that because I got used to being hungover, exhausted, moody, temperamental and unhappy due to daily drinking (at night after work and the gym), I was blown away by just feeling good after I stopped. My coworkers noticed it more than I did. They liked being around me when I was sober, as opposed to walking on egg shells and leaving me alone when I was hungover. Being sober isn't like winning the lottery, it's more like throwing a gauntlet down that says one is willing to take on life without a crutch that greases the skids , which isn't always fun.
More and better sleep, 100%. But mental health is mental health. Pre-existing anxiety/depression/bi-polar will all still be there once you stop drinking. You just don’t have the crutch of alcohol to numb it. So it may actually be more intense initially. You are forced to feel all of the feelings you didn’t have to before. Good luck on your journey!
Had same experience, discovered keto diet. Huge drop in carb consumption and after 5 months I could stop medication for depression. After 2 years if I include carbs for just a couple of days...boom ,gout and a feeling of inflammation. IBS 😢
Absolutely. I think you’ve summed it up here even better than I did in the video 👏🏻 undeniable benefits but it also isn’t a short cut to better mental health. It will most likely help. But it’s still gunna require a lot of work.
Life is boring as fuck when you quit. I’ve done it. Quit and go back all the time. Every time I quit I’m more depressed because life is lame as fuck and boring. Alcohol never effected my working out either, so there is absolutely no benefit maybe than better sleep and better feeling when you wake up, but if you’re a good drinker you really get used to hangovers.
Have a squiz at the keto diet. I had same experience as you, until keto. Dump the carbohydrates and the depression lifts like a morning fog. I learned a lot from a bloke called Dr Berg on YT. Good luck mate.
I think it takes a lot of re learning. Re learning how to socialize without it. How to relax without it etc. it’s definitely not easy (and also may be boring) but I view it as a challenge and definitely a learning experience thus far.
