Imagine taking the best football players in the world and putting them on a pitch with no defence players.
Although defenders aren’t as exciting as strikers, we all underestimate their ability to help a team win.
When it comes to managing our mental health, the defenders are the basics.
Usually we roll our eyes when a parent tells us to eat our greens or go out more. We know what would help us but we don’t do it.
Because when we feel low our defence players are the first things to go; we stop exercising, we withdraw from friends and start eating junk food. Because what difference does it make?
It turns out, a huge difference. Because letting the basics slide is like taking your defence players out and leaving an open goal.
But we don’t have to get the basics perfect and there’s not really a one size fits all approach to how we balance them.
The important thing to note is that they work together to help us have cash in our health bank and to remain upright when life tests us.
If you’re rolling your eyes already because you think you’ve heard what I’m about to tell you already, then it’s even more crucial you hear it again.
Because the science is crystal clear on what contributes to good mental health and psychological flourishing.

Ma bois! Ya boi completely messed up the spelling at 11:59 🤣 to clarify: It should be kynurenine & quinolinic acid not cyuronine & quenalitic acid - that's what happens when you listen to nutrition podcasts & try to take notes 🤣🤣🤣.

Hi, I would like to see the studies that have found that sugar consumption triggers inflammation. This doesn't seem to be generally recognised yet (at least I don't see it on Wikipedia, for example). And of course with regard to linoleic acid. Linoleic acid is not produced in the body but is already a major component of oils beforehand. Pumpkin seeds and Sunflower seeds contain a lot of linoleic acid. I rather have the feeling that "forbidden food" is the topic on which a nutritionist distinguishes himself from others and serves to raise his profile.

Interesting video content. My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her

@linamoon-mi7wd День назад

its difficult to let go of someone you love, i was in a similar situation, my relationship of 12 years ended, but i couldnt just let him go i did all i could to get him back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual counselor who helped me bring him back

Sadly, I can 100% testify that this doesn't work at all. I can only tell you the mass amount of what feels like narcissistic treatment from medical professionals that I've experienced in my 10 or so years of desperately seeking therapy and help to escape depression. I can honestly and wholeheartedly say that it did far more damage than good searching for so long with horrible GPs and horrible mental health staff at the local hospital. The best person I came across seemed nice but was quite useless. And the rest were awful. I've made a good handful of desperate complaints that were all turned back on me as they gaslighted me, and failed to apologise when I stood my ground and eventually proved them wrong. "Just ask for help" is the biggest LIE in the manosphere. Men don't care at all, and W care even less. And I'm telling you about medical professionals with a duty to care!

@DirtyJamesUK 9 часов назад

They'll eventually give you therapy. It will probably make you far worse, as they bully you from a place of "authority" and you'll be expected to remain polite, lap it up, become an even more fragile shell of yourself, and say thank you for the privilege. Just in case you think I'm joking in any way I AM NOT.

Man, I'm about to turn 21 in a month and life just gets more confusing and complicated the older I get. It feels like before turning 19/20 there was this illusory veil hiding the truth of the world that caused me to be ignorant of so many things. Life can be super brutal. For me personally everything started going downhill the second I turned 20. In the span of my 20th birthday to now my dad died, I had to move out of the house I lived in since I was 9, my girlfriend broke up with me twice (the most recent time a week ago) and I've gone through the worst depression I've ever been through. I don't know if I'm looking forward to turning 21 if there's more of that kind of stuff in store for me. As a kid, in my ignorance I never understood why anyone would choose to unalive themselves but the older I get the more I understand. It makes complete sense now.

@NewelOfKnowledge 20 дней назад

It seems you've been dealing with a lot of suffering recently. It's tough out there man. No doubt about it. Especially at such a young age. All I can say is everything you're going through can be used as a catalyst for some immense life lessons that other people will take YEARS to learn. All the best brother.

It's not exactly the same thing but I get how you feel, before I turned 21 I went through what was the worst year of my life, I never actually thought about suicide untill then and it scared me because the thoughts were, real, you know, and at that age as you said there is also that tough reality check when you understand that you need to take responsibility for certain things, and some things are not as easy as they seemed, but as tough as it can be, all we need to do is carry on, I hope things get better for you man

@NotNykoh 16 дней назад

You’re not alone, this was me at 20. I felt an urge hit me that something “wasn’t right” with me at 20 (2021), I became super aware of just how bad things were and how insignificant I was to others, by then my gf at the time dumped me, I lost my job twice, I stopped going to school, I totaled my car going up a hill, lost all of my confidence, and blew through $5,000 in less than 6 months. That was all of my savings at that time. It got even worse after that but just now, in this year am I finally getting through it all. Slowly It sucks and these things happen, but what we do with ourselves when we come out on the other side is the most important. And it’s hard. It’s lonely, it’s soul suckingly depressing. Nobody has your side and you have to do it all yourself, and you can’t cheer yourself on as a man, people will look at you funny for doing so. Sometimes I wish that veil you speak of never was lifted off my face, because I look at other people who are so much happier with it on, because the blissful ignorance keeps them from having to ponder their own existence. It’s a double edged sword of life, and it’s really a bitch. I feel you tho. At 23 idk if I feel like I have a place in this world. Sometimes everything comes at you all at once. I hope things get better for you man, the world is a better place with you in it

@NewelOfKnowledge 25 дней назад

I believe the Italians have a saying "chi mangia da solo si strozza" meaning "eat alone and you'll choke". Perhaps have a convo with your parents suggesting one night a week you all eat dinner together? Or reach out to a friend and facetime while eating?

@laurenskraaijenbrink4590 24 дня назад

Honestly, mate, I'd do the convo with the parents, too. You don't even have to make it a big thing. Just say you'd like to have dinner with them a bit more. I'm sure they'll respond to it and it might change your life. I know it's awkward, but wading through that feeling is a skill that will serve you in every aspect of your life.

@chrisgriff901 23 дня назад

I'm sure they'd absolutely love that you want to have dinner with them. Unfortunately society is now structured in such a way that it makes it more and more difficult to spend time with people, crazy work hours, shift work, 0 hour contracts etc. You realise how difficult that is when you try and organise a large group of people meeting as an adult - so many conflicting schedules.

Every day of these 1-2 weeks felt like a loop of me falling and then catching myself. Almost every good feeling and memory only just to make me forget myself temporarily. I think i changed from self-love to self-hate. Never thought that it would be possible for me to hate myself constantly for almost 2 weeks.

I’m by myself but I am not alone and I am not lonely. My lifestyle is a choice that I chose for myself, and I’m happy living this way for the time being. Perhaps that will change in due time, as we grow older we change as people and sometimes we just need to try something new. Either way, the important thing in life is to follow your own path, not other people’s.

And when I think of it and see how unbelievably fucked I am I always laugh. I am not sure why but as I said it probably is the ridiculousness of my own actions, I just cannot take myself seriously no more.

@mexicanson 13 дней назад

I agree. The scariest feeling of all is feeling nothing, and completely emotionally numb. Later on I realized, I would do that as a defense mechanism. I used to get bullied a lot, and I figured in my head that the next time I interacted with my persecutors, they wouldn't be able to hurt me emotionally, if I couldn't feel anything. People tell me I have a dead eyes, and that I completely changed.

@dev0hh 13 дней назад

i relate to this so much. before going to highschool, i had a severe overbite which gave me buck teeth. i knew i was different. so i deliberately turned off my emotions to cope with others making fun of me. i spent nearly every waking moment alone and empty. i tried so hard to gain approval from my peers by doing good deeds, but in the end, people couldn’t even make eye contact with me, confirming every insecurity i had. no one sat with me at lunch, and girls would scoff at the idea of sitting next to me on the bus. so eventually, i accepted that i would be alone for a good while. i didn’t have a choice. but surprisingly the worst part of it all wasn’t even being treated like trash, it was realizing how two faced everyone became when i got braces, gained weight, and finally looked normal. suddenly, the same people who alienated me gave my fist bumps and gestures of respect. witnessing that kind of fakeness firsthand just completely destroyed my faith in humanity and relationships. it feels like who we are on the inside truly doesn’t matter, as much as i wish it weren’t true. it’s hard to willingly want to serve a society that would go out of their way to torment good people for things beyond their control. i hate playing the game.

@charliefox9573 2 дня назад

Loneliness can become severe or even crippling when you spend years alone and struggling to find someone to spend your life with, or even go on a date with. I accept that having a loving partner and happy healthy relationship isn't the answer to everything, but at 52, having spent all but a handful of years alone (despite being good looking, intelligent, funny etc), it's so difficult to maintain a happy outlook and positive vibration when you've spent years struggling to have a normal dating/social life, and wondering why it seems to be a perpetual mystery as a to why meeting new people in a natural way seems so hard.

Even when my table was standing its strongest, this problem still permeated the walls of my psyche, deeply. And so the crushing loneliness persists. Any thoughts on it would be great 🙏

@jared589 20 дней назад

I'm 20. I moved away from the area I grew up in right after middle school ended. In high school, I had no friends for the first two yeats. Soon as I started to get to know people and make friends covid happened. I've never had a girlfriend, my old friends don't talk to me much anymore. I've been out of town for the week on a new job I was lucky to get. I've been having a hard time being alone with myself in my hotel room because the weight of my loneliness over the last 6 years starts to really hit me and it's impossible to handle. I'm trying to get out and pit in the effort but my focus since I graduated from school has been on work and finding a way to set my self up to handle the future financially. I wish I had somebody to spend my days and nights with and it really sucks to always be alone.

When i left home (pushed out i guess) i moved to a crappy bedsit in a bad neighborhood (all i could afford) i really couldn't even pay the bills. And for 6 years i sat alone by myself in a cell of a room. And sometimes whn i would see my family they would say stuff like "omg your so thin what happened" or "you need to take better care of yourself" I struggled day in day out to not top myself for no reason other than i didn't want society to win. Eventually the isolation drove me mental which perversely cured my deleterious mindset. Mental people dont end themselves, because they are mental. Only sane men slip quietly into the night. I now live in perpetuity along side chaos. Nothing is bad anymore because its just the way its supposed to be. It used to be like flipping a coin, not picking a side and getting upset at whatever side lands face up. Now it just is what it is. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'd say my biggest problem for being lonely is the women I want don't want me and the women who I want don't want me. Most people tell me to settle with someone who I have no intentions for and I always ask myself why they want me with someone I have no interest in.

Yes it’s definitely a thing. But try to think of the bright side, fellows. I took a job as a seaman on a cargo ship. Whenever I would finish my contract, I would go home to my rented room in Seattle. I figured I didn’t need an apartment, so I homeshared instead. I used to love it when I came home after being months at sea. I’d wake up, make coffee, and listen to the rain splash on the window pane in my room. Being single and alone can be good, very good. I married late, at 47 years of age. But I’ll never forget those years as a bachelor - all my 20’s, all my 30’s, and most of my 40’s.

There's nothing wrong with being alone. A natural state of being. It's the idea that you MUST have someone in your life at all times that is driving people crazy. And with 8 billion people around us, can we say we're truly alone when all we have to do is greet them?
