  • Back to the CZcams life. And happy to be back. Building a CZcams channel and making a living from it for years and years can be taxing on the mind if you don't have the right systems in place. I approached CZcams all wrong, but we learn on the way.

    FYI I love making videos. I love the whole process. I just lost sight of that and ended up losing myself by focusing on the wrong priorities, but hey! We live and we learn. Slowly getting back on track and working off the rust and getting those reps reps reps in! Much love everybody. Email me at yourmatetom3@gmail.com if you wish to send any topic requests or even respond to one of your letters for a video. Just an idea.

      Used to watch your videos years ago and you randomly popped into my recommended with your video you uploaded yesterday. I really like the meditation techniques at the end of the video. I would like to learn more techniques like that if possible. Anyways keep up the great work.

That staples a very important life event for everyone who you impacted, mate. Please be the best you, not the best YourMateTom.

    @No1karez Před 4 měsíci +2

    I worked since I was 15 after not being welcome back at school. Out of home at a 17 with no one to fall back on. Crushed by over a tonne and a half of steel and still no one to rely on or fall back on but myself, live on my own and every day is a struggle. 45 now, on meds 3 times daily, disabled and have a daughter who was taken from me by her mother who promised to look after me if we became a family then took off with my daughter.
    Maybe this will help you to realise that your life is great and that you should enjoy the simple things like being able to walk and run and do whatever you want. I have adhd, ptsd, crps and god knows what else.
    Don’t convince yourself that your life sucks or is too stressful and difficult, instead push yourself as hard as you can to make your life better because you never know if you might end up like me with no ability for much at all and on your own.

    Tom ,you're a inspiration to me. Your videos about quitting cannabis helped me coz I was the same man. I struggle with Adhd and other things so your videos hit home with me. I've had bouts of depression at times and trying to stay in a good mindset. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing your experiences brother. ✌

  • @merryprankster1980
    @merryprankster1980 Před 4 měsíci +1

    I can totally understand & relate to everything your saying. I've had lots of similar thought processes because of ADHD (which I was only recently diagnosed with.) It can take you to dark places & also give you amazing thoughts. So true about keeping good habits to keep it in check. Love watching your journey !

  • @Andremetheartist
    @Andremetheartist Před 4 měsíci +3

    Hey Tom, so when I first saw your content was through psychedelics, but it became way more than that. Your advice and experiences really helped me get my act straight even beyond the psychoactive realm. You should know that your fans really enjoy your content. Ive been watching your channel the whole year long for next uploads 😂

    Thank you for this video man, your vulnerability is really inspiring. I’m sitting with the same issue - I’ve been wondering how not to get affected by such things, especially if someone leaves a hurtful comment - I keep reminding myself people that don’t understand will judge but also they are forgiven for that - Still hurts though

  • @nickdenisco
    @nickdenisco Před 4 měsíci +2

    Bro you saying that if you’re not passionate about something or a job that you don’t put your 100% effort into it literally describes me. If I don’t care about something it’s just a waste of energy for me to even go all out because I always see through it.

  • @agentm00se
    @agentm00se Před 4 měsíci

    Glad you are back Tom! Sounds like you are heading in the right direction too, not giving too much of a fuck and just creating things will be much more sustainable. At uni one of my tutors used to tell me not to be too precious and just get stuff finished instead of focusing in on tiny details. You end up losing momentum too + mostly noone even notices anyway. Only you know what your idea was and your audience will just appreciate whatever you put out :)

    I've been following you for a long time now and felt that I related to a lot of your past experiences. I found out I have ADHD last year at 30 years old and a lot of my life makes sense now. Not sure if you've tried meds yet but I tried them for the first time in Thailand actually and I haven't thought about smoking weed since. Love your content, keep going!

    @TrippaNuudlez-og1ux Před 4 měsíci

    Love the update brother, keep it up do whatever the fuck you want love your vibe, much like myself. If music sits well with you bro I would love to see you take a trip down that path, if you have a OCDish perfectionist mindset and and ADHD based drive like myself bro it could be where you shine. Do whatever makes you happy in the end brother, that's what matters and you genuinely seem happy now man don't let anything stop you from achieving your dreams. Consistency with uploads and transparency will treat this channel better than quality of content will any day bro you will definitely grow the community I personally appreciate the change a lot and needed to hear your processing of thoughts myself to gain my own personal clarity on a few things. Keep it up brother ❤

    Thanks tom for all you have done.
    You are a great inspiration and example of how to achieve big things in your own way even with the many obstacles youve faced ive been calling myself a man of many hats and i think you have been the same in the past with the channel you are kinda the person who does everything with your channel even if you get help with production or anything its a division of labour your kinda the captain and do all the other roles or jobs on the boat of this ship your the navigator the person who rows and does the sails the chef or cooks. Imagine all the jobs or roles on a ship you have damn near wore every one or else how did you make it across shore if your boat didnt sail. Dont be so hard on yourself. You cant be everything to everyone one all at once.
    Give yourself a place to find peace and be tranquil from your busy mind. I didnt hear much gratitude and i dont say that to be harsh where is the self love and care for yourself and these deep emotions your sharing be grateful for all blessings on your journey there might be more coming just keep working hard. Keep shinning brother and keek being you.

    The thing about depression is every time you get through it, you become more resilient. So don't ever put yourself down for going back to that low place because you'll notice you can make it out faster each time. You're getting stronger even though it doesn't seem like it in that moment. Having weak moments does not take away your strength whatsoever.

    I have a friend who has ADHD and struggles to stay employed and is on the verge of being homeless. I would have thought that some of the psychedelics would help with that, but I guess not in your case from what you say. Can you relate what helps you the most?

    @Alex-m8515 Před 4 měsíci

    Brother I’ve learnt with adhd is that we belong best in nature. Learn to connect with nature as much as possible. Make it a routine and make sure to be barefoot while being on grass. I come home from work and go straight in the backyard with my dog. I go barefoot and I’ll start doing body weight exercises/stretches but in a more mindful way. Look up mindful exercising. It’s connecting your mind with your body and doing things more slow and steady. Doing pull ups but controlled and slow etc. I’ll even walk up and down the backyard barefoot but really focusing on how I walk with deep breathing. It helps me focus, I find for as adhd people we need to do more slow and steady exercises to slow our mind down. Connecting with nature and slowing our day down. Reducing as much screen time as possible and making sure to take time to meditate and exercise. This worked for me brother and not sure if you do any of this but give it a try man.

We need some grounding do some labour work ... Work in the garden exercise , try to be more grounded. I like that you see your ADHD as opportunity to do some things better something as a strange gift.
