What's up guys, so I got a fun one for you today today I'm gonna show you guys how to do the butterfly haircut in only three ponytails This is probably the easiest haircut you're gonna see on this channel Biggest thing is the sectioning so let's section it off The first ponytail is going to be a triangle section out of the fringe You really just want to look at the hairline follow that up Create that triangle and then where you place that ponytail should be right on the forehead So make sure that you pull that ponytail forward and put the put the ponytail in And now we do our second ponytail, which should be almost over top of the first ponytails So really kind of over directed forward. That's a that's a key factor in this haircut And then the back section is going to be basically over directed up On top of the head at the top of that crown area and that's the three ponytails now The way I want to change this up a little bit is I'm gonna use the FSE dual pro dual 20 pro This takes out 20% of the hair and I'm gonna use this you can see how easy it slides through the hair This is our brand new scissor on our online store now. It's got a blending side and a texturizing side I'm using blade down so we're going more blending and I'm just cutting through the reason I chose a texturizing scissor is I really want to remove weight and not create any hard lines in this ponytails So I go through I work the hair to the length that I want it and then I go through I'm using the FSE Precision elite scissor five and a half inch and I just finish off Just giving it a little bit more of a clean line towards the end and I do the same thing on the second ponytails So just going through using that dual 20 pro To cut my length and then I go a little bit deeper in with it and then I point cut This is the FSE precision elite as well. That's in the rose gold And now we just connect the back in so I use the tip of the FSE dual 20 pro and I work through it really just Using it like a point cut technique, but just taking out a little extra hair and softening it now You take those ponytails out look at how great those layers look I'm gonna add a little bend with my Dyson flat iron and just smooth the hair out add a little bend to it Work all the way around the head just to give a little movement to the haircut put in a little palm Mitchell this is Styling treatment oil from the albapui while gingerline and then just finish off the style look at that guys all those layers Beautiful haircut easy to do. Let me know in the comments below what you think go check out our brand new scissor line The FSE pro and elite series that scissors only a hundred and ninety nine dollars. You can have 20% off If you use the code FSE 20 at checkout, so make sure you do that and you can get the scissor for 160 bucks Can't beat that deal. Thank you guys so much for watching. I'll see you on the next video. Thanks


It is so humbling and amazing to be amongst you at New Frontiers and thank you so much for giving us all your time and full attention to co-create this event, it's been amazing and I've really fed your energy over the last few days and yeah very very excited to talk to you and also very excited to be standing next to the Lorax who's gonna keep me accountable to what I say. You know this question I've been asking myself for the last many years is who am I and how do I fit in society? What is my role in everything that we're doing? And Rumi summarized it for me by saying you are not a drop in the ocean but you are the entire ocean in a drop. That is how I felt when I grew up in Ethiopia, a country of about 100 million people today, we have 80 languages and 200 dialects. So it's quite a diverse place and as a kid I loved collecting stamps. I was one of those kids who just asked every single person if they received a letter or a postcard from somewhere in the world and I'm so proud to tell you, well I was proud back then, that I had stamps from 107 countries. Now that's a lot of countries for somebody living in Ethiopia and I learned that notion of being the entire ocean in a drop because I got to learn so much about many different cultures and countries through what they were putting on their postcards. In Ethiopia there are lots of street children in Addis Ababa and I felt like that entire ocean in a drop. The first day I asked my mother, why does that child not have a mother or a father? My parents didn't go to school, they didn't graduate from university, their parents thought education was not useful but they felt that it was important for me to understand and to be able to relate with the world. So they put everything they had and bored more to send me to good schools so that I can understand the world and so I ended up going to an international school where my best friends were from Eritrea, Ethiopian and Eritrea have been in wars for the last decades and we killed each other but I had best friends from Eritrea and my other best friend was from Italy which is a country that has tried to colonize us multiple times and a Greek friend and very, very different individuals but I could not just help how similar we were.  I learned to turn on a computer and write some lines on MS-DOS. Who's used MS-DOS here before? That was a radical time for me. I learned English, so I learned English from Italians first which was a terrible mistake and so I actually learned English on the internet. Most of my English I learned it using the internet. I used Ask Gives to ask questions and MSN Messenger, do you remember the first time you signed up to an online Messenger and you chatted with somebody who you did not know? That was a crazy time but that was a very transformative time for me because it really showed me that I was not just that drop in the ocean, I was the entire ocean and drop that were very similar to one another. I came across drug being 2003 during the World Cup. The key was that you would be so proud to hear this that it was so easy to support the old blacks and I actually got introduced to the old blacks through, who knows who that is, Rocofoco. He was an amazing player. I don't know if he's still around but that was in Tanzania. I learned about New Zealand from so far away of this sport I had no idea about but it was fun and we drank beer and it was amazing. I learned about liberal arts. I had no clue what liberal arts was about but when you're on the internet and there's this form of education where you learn to learn, not just learn to be good at what you do in a job or in a specific profession and researched a lot. I applied to 16 universities in America and I got a $200,000 scholarship to study at Harvard. My parents put the $1,000 that they have saved in my pocket and sent me off to the US and when I landed there and when I got in this community of individuals from many different corners of the world, I found myself connecting deeper with the people who were so different from me than those who came from the same continent that I was from. I've been asking this question like who am I? Where am I from? And to answer that question and many others asking that question, it's so hard. I don't know how to put it in one sentence. I'd say I'm from Ethiopia but I lived in Tanzania and Kenya for four years but I'm in America right now but I love London but I really enjoy El Salvador and I love traveling to Southeast Asia. And each time there were so many buds and it was so exhausting. And I'm not the only one who uses the word bud. For many of us here, if I ask you where are you from or where do you belong, you can pinpoint to one place or one specific community. And we're in a place where we're building communities of communities. We belong to many different communities around the world and around here. And so I've struggled to answer that question many, many times. When I moved here down the road, there's one of our neighbors who's lived here for a long time. He asked me the same question and I've been trying to rehearse and find shorter ways of answering that. And this really nice line that I found is, and I told him, when he asked me where is home, I said home is where I am. And his first reaction was, that is so sad. And I'm like, geez man, that's not helping. I'm really trying to nail this. And you're not helping me right here. But that's something that, you know, it's not just me who's having trouble pinning our identities to just one physical place or to one specific group of people. You know, my colleague Alina, we talk about that as well and she introduced herself like, I'm from Palmerston North, but I've lived in Canada, but I'm now living in Wellington and I do a lot of stuff in New Zealand and around the world. So my story is about trying to find who am I, where, how do we belong, and how do I belong and what we're creating here. And this notion of citizenship is something that I've been researching a lot, because I hold one passport and every place I travel to, I get a really hard time for having an Ethiopian passport. And when I search the Webster dictionary for what citizenship is, it says it's the qualities a person is expected to have as a responsible member of a community. And when I ask myself what community I belong to, well, I belong to many communities. So what citizen am I? I'm a global citizen. We have gathered here as global citizens, as citizens of a community of communities. But what is global citizenship about? To me, it is about acknowledging and enriching our interconnectedness. That one action we take has repercussions and implications to many communities. That what we do in one place affects many others. That we're in this network, in this web of communities, and we're all interconnected. To me, global citizenship is about service. It is about coming with humility, coming with respect, and a desire to have a positive impact on others. Not just the neighbor that I have here, but an acknowledgement that what I do has an impact on people elsewhere. And that I have the power to make either a positive or a negative impact on those individuals. And to me, global citizenship is about action. It is a license to operate. It's not about sitting down and just observing this network. It's about saying we have some great challenges in our hands today, and it's really up to us to do something about it. Brian has this line in his poem, we are the ones we've been waiting for. There's no one else we're waiting for in here. So as global citizens, we bring this mindset of interconnectedness, this mindset of service, and this mindset of action. It's about doing things that have implications on people, not just in our immediate vicinity but around the world. But my friends, let us not be mistaken. That global citizenship is not about transcending our responsibilities to the communities that we belong to. It is not about extracting value from one community and moving it to the other all the time. It is not a means of avoiding tax because out of a sudden you say, I don't belong to anybody because I'm a global citizen. Global citizenship is not about abandoning our identities in the communities that we're a part of. For me, a question I've been asking is, I've been in New Zealand for the last three years and asked myself, so am I less Ethiopian by being here? I feel a lot more Ethiopian because I feel a lot more connected to the values of the land that I come from and to the people who raised me and the people I grew up around. But I also feel more Kiwi because I truly connect with the values and the history and the heritage and the people of the land that I'm on right now. And so global citizenship is not about abandoning where we come from or it's not about giving up our responsibilities. But it's about acknowledging that we belong in one community and we have a responsibility to that community but we're in a community of communities. And that's a very, very powerful time to be in and that is a very powerful tool that we have. Now, you can say, well, that's amazing but the life of a global citizen is not easy. Yes, I'm the first one to raise my hand and let you know that. One of the biggest things that I've noticed is a lot of our infrastructures, legal infrastructures and systems haven't fully caught up to this notion of global citizenship. One of the ways that that manifests is through immigration, movement of people from one place to another. Humans have organized themselves in nation states and so that's the part that we're working within. Moving from one place to another is not easy and just to share with you a personal story. I told you how I went to Harvard and $200,000 and had a fantastic time. I moved to Silicon Valley and I've been working there with Matthew and Brian having a fantastic time and really at the heart of the technology space. And then I got a letter from the US government basically telling me that the Harvard degree that I held did not necessarily match the requirements of the occupation that they used to match the job title that I had in my work and therefore that did not qualify me to work in the US.  And I was like, geez, I just got here, I've been here for six years. You paid for my education and now it's hard for me to give back to the ecosystem, to the community. And that was very frustrating, not just to me but to the senators and congressman's offices that I contacted and they were like, this does not make sense. Obama says this does not make sense. The president of the country says this does not make sense. So it is not just about the people who are empowered, it's also just the systems, institutions need to evolve, need to adapt. And I think we're probably 30 to 50 years behind in a lot of the infrastructure that we have that actually prevents our nations to fully capture the value of people who are not fully capturing the value of humans of global citizens. Now, that was not an easy time to go through that process because the government told me, well, you've got to stop working today, which was not fun to get. But now I really want to send them a container full of NZ wine and thank them for it. One because I empathize with the people doing that. They're just part of the grind and it's not an easy job to have. And two, it allowed me to take a step back and actually reconnect with my global citizenship and see the world and that's how I go to explore Aotearoa and I'm absolutely loving this place and feel like I'm in the right place to be right now. But what's really different is I talked to you guys about how the congressman and the center's offices were saying they found it absurd as well. What was the differences here? There were a couple of people from immigration here. Are you guys still here? They might have left. We're facing a very different situation here. We had the head of immigration here a few days ago. We're actually to have these serious conversations. And we've been talking with them for the last year and a half about what does actually true global citizenship mean and how can a nation like New Zealand lead? And so finding great value and actually being in a small agile place that can innovate in this place because the opportunity is out there. I'm not the only global citizen. Many of us are and there are many people around the world. And if it comes with this sense of responsibility, this sense of commitment to service that keeps in mind the communities that we belong to and the communities around us, then global citizens go and create value wherever they are. And I'm so thrilled to hear that the government here has been very open-minded to this notion of global citizenship. And we've had two announcements from the Prime Minister that are exploring a new visa program specifically attracting global citizens. And that is something I'm very excited about because it is for us to lead. It is an amazing opportunity to have a high concentration of individuals who are thinking globally, acting locally, creating value that address and solve problems here, but thinking about the global systems that we're in and taking those to many corners of the world. That is the economy that we're moving towards. And so while many countries are trying to catch up to this whole notion, some are moving faster than others. Not because, you know, I talked about America, not because America is bad, they're just bigger. It's just harder for hundreds of congressmen and senators to get stuff done. It is harder for the most powerful person in the entire world to do this. So we're facing some real challenges, but I think we have an opportunity here. We have an opportunity to create a template to lead in a way that allows us to get the best, in my opinion, and allows us to have a high concentration of change makers working to solve the world's problems in one place. And that is the aspect of incubation nation that really excites me. And one of the things that I'd like to share with you is that KiwiConnect has been exploring with the Hillary Institute of Exceptional Leadership to create a fellowship program that is targeted at global citizens. And when I mean global citizens, not just people who do not have any zillion passport. There are many global citizens in this room. There are many global citizens in Wellington and Auckland and Christchurch and Dunedin in many corners of this country. But have a high concentration of individuals who are thinking of the immediate community that belong to and the communities around the world and using the infrastructures that we have, the network that we have around the world to create solutions that can reach millions and millions more people than just the four and a half million people that we have here. And so through this collaboration, we'll be seeking collaborators and supporters and friends. And if this is a notion that resonates with you, please come talk to us afterwards because it is not just for up to us to create this home base for global citizens. It is a collective process. It's a collective activity. Global citizenship is about bringing the human race together in some way. It is actually weaving the connection between the human race organized in communities and a network of communities. But that's just the first step because the human race is one community of communities that belongs in a much larger community. We belong in a planetary community. And global citizenship to us is a bridge to planetary citizenship. Thank you.


Have you ever tried this? Ew. I know, at first it doesn't sound pleasant. Why would you pervert something that is as close to perfection as, what are they doing? It's like Mountain Dew, all these Mountain Dew flavors. Why are you messing with Mountain Dew alone? I don't drink Mountain Dew. It's poison, it's absolute poison, it's delicious. I drink it once every five years, not kidding. So, I always thought that Jameson Orange was like, I was like, that's weird, why would you do that? And then I bought some, because Steph wanted a drink. I looked up recipes for Irish themed drinks. St. Patty's Day. She doesn't like pure whiskey or stuff like that. And this was one of them, I was like, okay. And I made her an Irish Cosmo, Irish Cosmo, essentially. Interesting. This is not bad. Really? Smell it. It doesn't smell like orange soda. That's kind of scary, kids. That smells like orange soda. It tastes like Jameson with orange. It's not bad. Well, it doesn't smell like an alcoholic beverage. No. If a kid smelled this, they'd be like, this is orange soda. This is actually even more dangerous than Jameson. Okay, so let's see. Hold on, you're having some too? Yeah, I've already had it, though. All right, there you go. It's all true. That's Jameson with orange. And it's so easy to drink. It tastes no joke. It tastes like somebody squeezed an orange in my Jameson. Yeah. If you like orange, you're gonna like that a lot. I was pleasantly surprised. And the Cosmopolitan that Irish Cosmopolitan, I bet it was absolutely delicious. I bet it was great with this. I'm surprised. I still, obviously, Jameson. Oh yeah, for sure. Preferred, but that's not bad. I was pleasantly surprised with it. Juice.  We like whiskey. You can follow us on Instagram, Twitter for more juicy content, thank you to eSports and Patreon, follow us through the accounts. And Scotch. Yeah, that's true. And vodka. Just go down the list. We would be pretty much like most of it, except. Especially if you don't like the flavor of alcohol. Yeah.  A lot of people don't want to. I would be interested to see what Alexis thinks of that, because Alexis is not a big fan of the alcohol taste and things. I thought she'd like the straight, she might be able to tolerate it, but she would love the cocktail. She would love the cocktail. The cocktail that I made. Yeah. Today we got, they released a new trailer for Crew. Oh, yay. I thought they already did that. That was a teaser, I think. Was it a teaser? I think it was, because I just showed it to Andrani and I was looking for trailer, and it popped up as a teaser. So I'm, yeah, this is, I guess this is the full. Full Monty. Fledged, and it released. And she had the same reaction we did. She was excited and thought this was great. I showed her the music video too. The vibe, yeah, she liked that too. Here we go. Where's Sona? Where's Sona? Sona? Sona? Sona? Where's Sona? Where's Sona? Sona? Sona? Sona? You are my Sona. We would like to welcome everyone on board. Namaskar, I'm Vijay Bali. Chairman, Kovinoorayal. What's up? Is it your birthday or your birthday? Next week, along with Diwali's bonus, everything will be cleared. You're not going to get Laddus with four pearls in Diwali. You're dreaming of a bonus here. Jasmin, sit down. You haven't grown up since six months. You worked like brothers for twenty years. You got a tax cut. You got a PF cut. You got a loan cut. Is your company bankrupt? Ma'am, what are you saying? Jaya, that's not true. Ma'am, I swear. It's bankrupt. I swear, it's bankrupt. What? Mr. Rajwan. No. Just a little bit of humanity, Jasmin. There's no one here. You're too much. You're out of your mind. If you get caught, you won't let the plane get into the airport.  Parle, you don't have the money to eat.  I'll get you a house too. You'll get a house. Today, we're going to live like rich people. Where are you going? To have fun. We'll see. Comedy. There's someone who knows about us, right? You're here... Customs? Customs. What's in the bag? Shit. Jaya, keep this stuff out of the shop. I'll beat you up, ma'am. The money makes you a good gangster. How can you go like this? Because he's a rich baby.  Look at the money. All the rich people are out of the boat. Do back on. I found a tip-ship in the department. I'm not going anywhere, ma'am. I'm very scared. Then sing it. Which one? How much gold is gold?  You're good at everything. But I can't do it. In God's will.   You're an intern at the jail. He was just saying that he's preparing for an arrest. Nice. Lived up to the teaser and everything else. I felt that's exactly what I was expecting. I think it was a little too long. That's what she said. I don't like it when it feels like you're trying to show me the whole film. I agree. Trailers, just show me. Tease me. This should interest you. I don't want you to show me all the plot points in the movie. Sometimes it works, but we've said this many, many times that for the majority of trailers, three minutes is way too long. You can get it done in under 230. Unless you're like a KGF. Sometimes it works. Big, massive ones. Yeah, sometimes it works. But it's the exception to the rule. But I still like the trailer and I'm still very much wanting to see the movie. It looks well done, is what it does.  Pretty grounded. With these actor actresses. I mean, you would expect from these three. Yeah, but it all looks pretty good. I'm it it looks like it could be pretty funny. I'm hoping so. I'm hoping for a good time. Yeah, me too. I'm rooting for them. And what's with these? Like I said, I didn't need a trailer to you tell me that you have Preedy, Katrina and Taboo in a kind of like a heist comedy. Well, just did you say Preedy and Katrina? Katrina, Karina. Sorry, Katrina and Creedy. Creedy soon. Yeah, I thought you said Preedy. Did I say Preedy? I gotcha. But anyway, yes, these three. Gotcha. Yeah, give me those three. And I didn't need anything else. Yeah.  And I hope it is. Yeah. Thoughts. Yep. Same as yours. Mm hmm. It's what I was hoping for. It looked like it's going to be fun. I'm going to enjoy watching the ladies be the leads in this thing. I think they're going to be really funny. It's going to be exceptionally fun to watch, in particular, Taboo doing a comedy like this. So, I mean, I'm interested, obviously, in all of them, but in particular, the heavy weight of Taboo. Another thing that I think is a good sign is that the director is well known for this style of comedy. Quite hard of comedies. Well, we haven't seen it because we didn't get permission to ever react to it is the TVF series. Yeah, we asked in the beginning. We heard. I mean, it's it's one of those things that people like, oh, watch the tripling or the other TVF things. And we asked them and they said that we have. They sold the rights to somebody. Right. They don't have the rights to give us anymore to react to it. Right. And so that's that's why you've never seen us react to it before. Good night. But I've heard a lot about those TVF series. Oh, yeah. Loot Case. I heard it was a underrated gem. Especially back when we first started the channel, that was one of the things that people talked about for a long, long time. Yeah, yeah, in Loot Case, Loot Case. We never saw it as VG Ross. I heard it was an underrated gem of a comedy. And so if this is anything like those that people say, at least, that I think it could be very good and I'm hoping. Yeah, it is. Me too. Good trailer. Only only critique would be it's a little long. But even then, I wasn't looking at my watch. Yeah. So and Bob isn't that's why I said, oh, yeah, that was Bob. It was Bob at the very beginning. I was like, oh, but everything was going really, really fast. You know who could play his father? I mean, he could play J. Deep's father. Yeah, they have a very similar face. Yeah, they do. They could be in some type of relation in a movie together, I think could be good. Anyways, let us know what you thought about the trailer if you're excited for it and anything else we need to know. Down below.


Hello, and welcome to this presentation of the STM32F7 Digital to Analog Converter. This block is used to convert digital signals to analog voltages which can interface with the external world. The STM32F7 Digital to Analog Converter converts 8 or 12-bit digital data to an analog voltage. Two DAC modules are embedded in the STM32F7. The DAC can interface with external pots or bias circuitry. It can also create voice and arbitrary signals. The Digital to Analog Converter inside STM32F7 products offers simple digital to analog conversion in an 8 or 12-bit mode. 10-bit monotonicity is guaranteed. The DAC output can have a low impedance buffer to drive external loads. Two DACs can be synchronized with each other. The input data can be transferred by DMA which offloads the CPU. The DAC output data can be updated by a timer or an external trigger as well as a software trigger. It also integrates small logic to generate noise waves as well as triangle waves. Here you can see the simplified block diagram of the Digital to Analog Converter. The STM32F7 integrates two of them. The DAC output can be buffered for low impedance loads. When unbuffered, the output is directly connected to the R2R resistor ladder network type of DAC. The DAC can support different input formats. In 8-bit mode, it's a write-aligned 8-bit data format. In dual channel mode, it's an 8-bit plus 8-bit data format. In order to provide input data for two DACs simultaneously. In 12-bit mode, either a write or left aligned mode can be used for input data. DAC output conversion is started by writing to the data hold register using software. Six different timer outputs, an external I.O. or software can trigger a DAC conversion. The DAC digital interface integrates two special signal generators. The linear feedback shift register can create the noise signal for the DAC input. Each trigger updates the DAC output data by an LFSR block. The up-down counter with a programmable count value can create triangle wave data which can update the DAC output data. The data can also be updated by a trigger signal. The DAC can also create DMA requests from the trigger signal. Once a trigger is detected, the data hold register value is then transferred to the data output register. Then the DMA request is generated to obtain the new data for the data hold register. As the update of the output data register is initiated directly by the trigger signal, the DAC output signal will not have jitter so that it can create a stable sampling time signal output, making it easy to filter out the sampling frequency. The DAC can generate a DMA underrun interrupt. To transfer data from the memory, a DMA request can be generated. The digital to analog converter is active in the following power mode. Run, sleep and stop. In standby mode, the DAC is powered down and it must be re-initialized afterwards. The following table shows some performance parameters for the digital to analog converter. The DAC can work between 1.8 and 3.6 volts. 10-bit monotonicity is guaranteed. Power consumption is 450 microamps when the buffer is enabled and 170 microamps when the buffer is disabled. The DAC buffered output has a settling time of 3 microseconds with 5 kilo ohms and 50 picofarad load. The DAC can handle a sampling rate of 1 mega-sample per second. When using external components, it can support up to 10 mega-samples per second. This is described in detail in application note AN4566. This is a list of peripherals related to the DAC. Please refer to these peripheral trainings for more information if needed. Application notes dedicated to DAC topics are also available.


One thing I hear the most and the one thing I personally have, you know, really wake up and ask myself every day and, you know, I have a process, a really deep connection, a prayer process of, like, you know, help me serve, guide me, you know, like I use me as a vessel. But there are, including myself, there's a lot of people out there who feel this sense of, like, what more can I do? Like, I don't have the cloud as Charles Eisenstein, so what good am I? Like, what can I do? And there is this sense of, like, wanting to contribute. You know, I do think it's inherently in our nature, as you say. It's like, there's, it doesn't matter what your background is, your circumstances, it's, there is this human nature that we are, you know, it's inherently in us wanting to help, wanting to make a change, wanting to contribute to beauty and live fully in the life. But what would you say to people, especially like, let's just say the common person, you know, here in the United States is someone who's working, trying to survive, you know, going through the motions of life, raising kids, family, but they want to, they want to make a change. They want to contribute. You know, what's the one suggestion you have? And of course there's people feeling like, I'm going to contribute by yelling at people on social media, you know? Okay, so first, first I would say this, I would ask this feeling of wanting to do more, wanting to contribute more. Where is that coming from? How much of it is from a sense of worthlessness of never enough? Nothing I do is ever enough. I'm not good enough. How much of it is wanting approval of the parent, the internalized parent, the socialized parent? And how much of it is actually coming from a sense that I am not doing what I am here to do? There's something else. Something more? Well, that often gets translated through our inherited ideas of what makes a change in the world. And our inherited ideas say the bigger the better. And how do you know it's big? You can measure it. So if I'm, if my essay or my words reach a million people instead of a thousand people, then I must be having a bigger effect, right? Well, not necessarily. And think of who that diminishes. It diminishes all of the nannies of this world who pour love into a child. And maybe that child goes on to do big things. And how often does the nanny get celebrated as much as the man out there doing big things? Like, who are we actually venerating here? Who are we upholding? Who are we admiring? The ones who get laughed out are the ones who have been getting left out by patriarchy for thousands of years. The nannies and the grannies. The daycare workers. The people who are doing, who are like holding families together. The people who are taking care of one little garden or an animal. Now, the calculus of separation says they're not doing much to help.  Not that it's actually that big, but that is the logic that we have to reject, because it contradicts the heart's logic that recognizes exactly what you're supposed to be doing. So that feeling of I could be contributing more. It should be contributing more. As I said, where is it coming from? It might have a lot behind it from many directions. And the valid part of it really is saying, is saying trust your heart. Because if you're not trusting your heart, then you will have the feeling because that's the guidance. That's the, the, the orienting organ that helps us recognize what part ours is to play in the cosmic unfolding of life. So if, if you're not listening to your heart, then you will have the feeling that I should be doing, I could be doing more that I'm not doing what I'm here to do. It could even be that, that your mind says, well, I'm doing great things. I'm, I'm working for global change.  Like personally, like for me, I mean, I think my work is, is having a good effect in the world. But I don't know that as deeply as I know that my parenting is having a good effect on the world. Like as far as like what time in my life was well spent, I think a lot of my time wiggling my fingers on my keyboard and from my computer was well spent. I know a lot of it wasn't. I think a lot of it was, but I know that my time pouring love into my shoulder was well spent when I was really attentive to them. And I regret the times where I wasn't fully present and attentive to them because I thought I should be doing something big and important in the world. I had it backward. So this big, bigger contribution, this more, let's be sure not to filter that through the lens of separation and understand that bigger could be contained in a very, very intimate setting. It could be the biggest thing you do could be the time you spend with your, with your, with your father on his deathbed. Maybe, and then maybe that's weeks and months. And you had to take out from all of the important things you're doing in your life to do that. But maybe that was the most important thing that you will ever do as far as how it impacts the future in 500 years, how it changes the field that we recognize from our psychedelic experiences to be interconnected. That we recognize that, that anything that happens in one place happens everywhere. Like this is the truth. We have to sit in this truth. And when we do, then the heart and the mind will no longer be in conflict.


Working on some lunch. Breakfast for lunch. Never have a bad idea. Gonna do some breakfast sandwiches. Have some steaks that I grilled up. Got some sausages. That looks edible. It wouldn't turn in the way. What do you think, Dan? Comfortable. Edible? Very edible. Is that gonna fill the void? Oh yeah.


Six years after Bolt retires, Chellian Fraser is a glorious sportswoman of the year. Not track and field athlete of the year. She is the greatest sportswoman in all sport in 2023. And that tells me something. That while Bolt is rightly given the phenomenal labor that he is given, there has to be something said about the colossal nature of Chellian Fraser Price's brilliance. And let me add to that longevity, because Bolt has long retired and he's great. Phenomenal, there's no athlete that has captured track and field in the way that Bolt has.


Why do I want to take a break? There's many reasons. First and foremost, my mental health. I'm gonna be real with y'all. I am mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted. Well, the latest YouTuber to need a mental health break is Lilly Singh. But there's actually a lot that we can learn from her new video talking about why she's taking this break in the first place. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul, where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health. And what I like to do is pull different topics going on in the YouTube community and try to use those as lessons to help you improve your mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that kind of stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell.  First one is, first one, I'm like, been racking my brain around with Tristan, like, what can I do more for Patreon? What can I do more for Patreon? So starting today, the second you see this video, anybody at the $5 tier and above will get exclusive content, which is pretty cool because Tristan and I are moving into our new place. So I'll do some like vlogging on there, just kind of like toss little mental health things and just upload random videos up there. So if you're into that, make sure you go check out the Patreon. Second thing is huge shout out to Catherine. So Catherine is one of the patrons where anybody with who is in the $10 tier and above, I will put any link of your choice. Don't put some crazy link down in the description below. And Catherine gave me an amazing one. It is for GLAAD and it's a resource list.  All right. Something that I have not done enough about on my channel is mental health issues in the LGBTQ community. So for anybody out there who is in the LGBTQ community, check out the description down below. There's an entire resource list, courtesy of Catherine. So check that out. All right. Now that that's over, let's talk about Lilly Singh. So I've known who Lilly Singh is. How could you not? She's one of the biggest creators on the platform. But I want to give a quick shout out to Shell. This is why I have the best audience on earth. Like she tweeted this at me. She's like, if you're ever looking for another great example of a well done video from a youtuber announcing they are taking a break from mental health, check out the latest from Lilly Singh. So I did that and here we are. So thank you Shell for that amazing suggestion. Yeah. So I checked this video out and there's a few things that we can touch on. So again, if you're new to my channel, my channel isn't always about these youtubers. What it is is about you because I know a lot of you can relate to these youtubers. That's why you watch them. So I try to give mental health advice that maybe you can be like, Oh, okay. I'm struggling with that too. Here's what I should do. And I know I'm always about hustling and hustling harder and making journalism, being productive, but I'm also about happiness. And I always preach that you should be happy. You should take care of yourself. But what kind of person would I be if I preach that, but didn't actually practice it myself? This first clip is just so important. That is so important. What she just said, like lead by example, like that is what I'm always trying to do. So like for all of you, I take care of my mental health in a variety of different ways.  So like, I think that's really admirable of Lily to be like, yo, like I'm not being that example right now. And like, I'm a father too. Like I have to think about that with my son. I can't tell him to behave if I'm not acting right or I can't tell him to like eat healthy or meditate or whatever it is or be nice to people if I'm not doing it. So it's very important for me, like one of the things that has helped me stay on the straight narrow since I started working on my mental health when I got sober about six and a half years ago is I'm always thinking about how I need to be a good example for other people. And that's important. That's important, especially when we're in a time in YouTube where there's so many young creators who are like, Oh, I don't I'm not a role model. I'm yes. Sorry, you are. You are a role model. So I'm really glad that Lily Singh is taking responsibility of that, especially in a time like this, when I see people like Tana Mojo or Thomas Halbert or other people like, Whoa, whoa, whoa, don't look at me as an example. Like, sorry, we signed up for this thing. The thing about YouTube is in all of its glory, it kind of is a machine and it makes creators believe that we have to pump out content consistently, even at the cost of our life and our mental health and our happiness. Because if you don't, then you'll become irrelevant. That is something really interesting. It's so interesting to me.  Our brain tells us so many lies. And this is something that you consistently see in all of these YouTuber mental health break videos. Their brain tells them things that are not true, that if you take a break, if you're not uploading consistently, you are not going to have a following, you are going to lose subscribers. You guys, let me give you a good example. Many MUA had like one of the craziest controversies of the year. And that fool is still sitting at over 4 million subscribers, almost 5 million subscribers. All right? Like, so you think that if you take a couple weeks off, you're going to lose everybody? Heck no, okay? Like something that we all need to work on is separating the truth from our faults. Like she said too, like she's, she's acknowledging that fear. And I know a lot of you watching my channel, you struggle with anxiety. A lot of us struggle with anxiety or stress or fears, whatever it is. Like one way that I manage my fears is saying, is this rational or irrational? Something that you can do, a great practice that you can start, is writing down your fears in a notebook and looking at it, looking at it and saying, is this rational? Okay? Like, does logic agree with this fear? Okay? So like, especially like just using Lily Singh as an example, she has so many, so many millions of loyal subscribers, right? And like looking at that on paper, Lily could be like, okay, this many people are loyal to me. Are they really all going to leave because I'm taking a little bit of a break? You know what I'm saying? But this is something that all of you can take into consideration too. Like, like when you're, when you're worried about doing like a presentation at work, or these people got to like me, or you struggle with social anxiety. One of the hacks that I use is that I made a video a long time ago saying, laugh at your anxiety.  So if I was the only saying, I'd be like, oh my God, I'm going to take a week off, and I'm going to come back and have three subscribers. And then I would laugh at how crazy that idea is, and then I would take a break. So for everybody who knows me, here's where Tough Love Chris comes in. I tried to save it for the end so I don't scare all the new folks away. But here's Tough Love Chris. Like, you guys, let me, I just, like for the love of God, could I just get one? Could I get one YouTuber who isn't trying to push better help to say that they're going to therapy? And the better help thing, I'm a better help affiliate, don't get me wrong. But I just want somebody to say, hey, I'm taking a break and going to therapy, right? Like just say it, just do it. Like it drives me nuts. I know so many people, so many of you watching this are people that do not have the money, or you don't have the resources to get therapy, right? So when I see these, these YouTubers who are huge, most likely making millions, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, and not one of them, not one of them ever says, you know what, during this mental health break, I'm going to start therapy, right? So when you're somebody like Lilly Singh, who is, and don't get me wrong, she might be, she might be, but when you're trying to inspire people say, hey, I'm not just taking a mental health break, I'm taking action too. Like I talked about this in my Man in MUA video, I talk about this in a lot of these videos, like a lot of people make the common mistake of taking a mental health break, but having no plan of action, all right? Now, don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong. Like something Lilly said, which is very true, is that she's been so caught up in this like, you know, routine that she's not being as creative. Like don't get me wrong, like I am somebody who is all about creativity and stuff, and sometimes I just need to step away and like get some ideas. For me though, for me, to be honest, this doesn't come in huge breaks. For me, it's meditation. Like if I am stuck, if my brain is just blocked, I can't think of anything or I don't have any good ideas, meditation helps me because it declutters everything, all right? So that's very important, but like my fear, my biggest fear for all of these YouTubers taking mental health breaks is this. This has become a trend. I'm not saying it's trendy, but we're seeing more and more people like Lilly Singh says other creators inspired her to take some time for herself, but we're going to see this trend as more and more people do this. I guarantee, I guarantee within a year, we're going to see a lot of them doing the same thing again. And why is that? Why is that? It's because a lot of them are not being proactive about their mental health. They think that a break is going to fix them, but no, like so much of our mental health involves like retraining our brain. Like that's one of the reasons why my channel is called the rewired soul. We have to get new habits, new practices. Like Lilly talks about some of her thinking errors, right? Like she talks about things that aren't working on YouTube for her. And then she mentions like, well, that's subjective. And I just really need to get clarity on this situation. But whatever currently works on YouTube does not make me happy. And I think the underlying issue there is that whatever works, I'm literally saying whatever works, what is works? Works is subjective. Just because something's not on the trending page doesn't have millions of views. Does that mean it doesn't work? Is a hundred thousand people not valid? Is 200,000 people not valid? Like, so even if she's not seeing a therapist, like it's important to have people in your life who call you out on it. For example, Tristan, the love of my life, my beautiful girlfriend, whenever I go over to her and whine about views or subscribers or whatever, she brings me back down to earth like that. She's like, Chris, 500 views is a lot of views. And I'm like, yeah, you're right. You're right. So Tristan is my, my way of constantly reminding it, reminding me about this. So if Lilly isn't doing therapy, I suggest that she has a strong support group that calls her out on these things. So when she gets back in that routine, because like I said, my fear is people just taking a mental health break, getting back into it. And then before they even know it, they slip back into old thinking patterns. Next thing you know, they need a mental health break again. All right. But anyways, I wish Lilly the best. I am very proud of her. It as a mental health channel, I am just so happy that more people are talking about this stuff. It just makes me so happy. So, so, so happy. All right. But anyways, anyways, let me know down in the comments below, like, do you struggle with like creativity at all? And what do you do to get over that hump? I'm about to start writing a book. So I need, I need some tips from all of you. All right. But anyways, that's all I got for you with this video. If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up. If you're new, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. And a huge thank you to everybody who has supported the channel over on Patreon. You can get on this list for only a dollar a month. But like I said, exclusive content for anybody signing up $5 or more exclusive videos. All right. Anyways, I love you all so much and I'll see you next time.
