It takes a ton of humility and courage to admit to being that useless, weak and down as a man. I'm glad you made this video and I'm glad you got your motivation back.
I really believe those states are our best teachers in life 💪
They really help the evolution of our wellbeing and discover ourselves 😃
Man,
I'm 67 and my health challenge is blood cancer and the exhaustion that goes along with that.
I also have the sim racing love/passion.
Your sharing is so heartfelt, generous and motivating.
Thanks for sharing your hard earned wisdom and love.
Oh man, life can be very harsh with us.
Keep fighting Rick 💪
You are an inspiration beyond just SIM racing.
Stay blessed brother.
Hugs buddy and best wishes for the rest of the weekend 😃
I haven’t lost my passion because I’ve lost my passion. It’s been taken away from me due to having my own business which is a barbershop, now I’m short staffed, working 60+ hours a week on my feet, and I’m not exaggerating I’m standing 10 hours a day, without lunch breaks or any break at all.
I’m 100% exhausted and by the time I get home I don’t even have the energy to play with my children let alone pursue my passions.
For now this is my predicament, customers always say “think about the money” but I would give half the money away to just sit down for a little bit and have some fuel left in the tank when I arrive home. It won’t always be like this and I will get some time back but damn I miss my passions and enjoying some free relaxing time with family.
Life always throws you challenges, never lose your passions and ultimately don’t lose yourself!
I'm 57, but back when I was 17 I was a junior in a hairdressers/barbershop. Back then I did about 9 hours per day, and then went out every night with my mates. Water off of a ducks back back then. I was sacked after 18 months, as the owner said I had a good work ethic, but that I was just no good at hairdressing/barbering....and he was quite right, I was TOTAL pants at it, with all the hairdressing skills of a cabbage. LOL!
But doing that for years, now THAT takes stamina, my hat is off to you. I'm not surprised you're KO'd after days like that, that's going to take its toll on ANYBODY. Many people, in my experience, think that hairdressing is easy....just wait until you do it for a few year's, and they'll soon think differently!
I hope you have set specific goal with timeline and soon bring things to normal!
I can only imagine how hard and awkward it is to stay for so many hours on your feet’s with those hand positions!
My work is intensive but involves lots off movement and 100 seatings between all those deliveries and whenever I have to just stand on my feet’s for 2 hours straight my lowball really start hurting!
You really need to find the way and preserve some energy for your lovely family and is there anything a a chance for some hobbies activity and enjoy a bit life!
Best wishes for the future man 🤛
Tu situacion es comun en todo el mundo. Cada cual tiene esa area que ya no motiva. Y es que no te guste,la razon es que estas dándole mucho tiempo se vuelve tu todo,tu IDOLO. Eso crea un desbalance.hemocional. Es como.estar comiendo.Junk food todos los dias,tus energian dejan de existir. Te recomiendo que busques aquello que nunca desaparecera en la vida como tu norte,y creeme todo lo que tengas despues de conocerlo sera de gran valor y te matendra energizado 23\6. Porque 23/6 y no 24/7? Porque tu no eres perfecto. Pero aun asi es mucho verdad.?
For the good of your family, turn that sign around on the front door and have a quiet, peaceful lunch everyday. Grab a sandwich, take a walk, take a nap, listen to a record. You'll never get back the time you don't spend with your family and they'll never get that time back either.
lol you’re a barber you aren’t that busy you can’t take lunch or a brake 🤣 people have way harder jobs and longer hours and still do things so don’t have like a barber is so hard 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm autistic, so therefore I don't have that much time for hobbies. I need a lot of time restoring energy and regulating with simple tasks. But I've learned a lot the past years and found out if I sleep longer and stop pushing myself to be productive all the time, then I actually get done more than if I'm exhausted all the time, lol. Simracing is so much more fun now, even though I don't do it that often anymore, it feels like my learning curve became steeper as I have more energy to focus and get the best out of me.
Being healthy is really not an option, it is a must. Everything else comes naturally, it really is so much easier to be happy if your basic needs are met.
So well said man!
There can be big conflict between those bad habits and wellbeing!
I can totally see two different personalities in myself when I do everything right and when I don’t sleep and give bad nutrients to my body 🙈
I'm 6'2 228 lbs so a bit of extra weight and my most important part of my day is 8 hours of sleep. 6 hours, no go. I will hate my day. 7 hours? I will wish I slept 8. 8-9 hours I wake up and I'm good to go. Everyone is different. Thank you for your content Race Beyond Matter. You have some of the most nuanced content that goes beyond (no pun intended) just sim racing. Cheers.
I have it hard to get out from the bed at around 7 hours but then I feel great and 8 is even better!
At 6 hours and less I can feel frustration all day long for no reason 🙈
Sleep is probably the biggest factor for my mental state but the good nutrition also heal my body.
Hugs brother and thank ms for the kind words 🤛
@@chepilevski Yes sir bud keep up the great work!
Hey Stelyan,
I'm 32 for now and the symptoms you had because of high carb food was exactly what I've experienced since I quit smoking in 2016. I replaced the smoking with a whole lot of junk food and soft drinks. I was aggressive in a split second because of nonsense. I also gained weight from 85kg's in 2016 to 118kg's in 2023. My luck was that I had a pretty physical job so I don't look that unhealthy and overweight. I started an allot chiller job with more free time per day and I started to look around why I tend to be that kind of aggressive. A year ago I took my spare time to go to the gym just because I wanted to get back to 90kg's. After I've noticed that training is the half of the story to lose weight. I started to search for a solution and it became clear that the amount of sugar per day (which should never exceed a max of 40g/day) was the main reason why the fat wasn't burning. Also alcohol is a factor. If you read into that then you'll find out that the liver plays a huge role in that.
Long story short, I completely changed my diet to low carb, no processed food, almost no sugar, and et voila, the weight is in freefall.
I also never was that aggressive again. So everyone, keep track of your diet and keep it healthy, this will also have a huge impact on your psychology.
So great to read your story man 💪
Without sugar my personality changes completely 🙈
So happy for you as I know how great it feels 💪
Respect brother 🙏 everyone needs to hear this. Life balance and moderation is key i believe.keep up the good work. I can totally relate. I may need to reach out to you about some AC advice. Take care #22 Noakie Spec Racing
Absolutely agree that balance is the most important part 💪
Thanks for your quality work
Keep pushing
Не знам дали е добре, но се разпознавам в доста от нещата, които обясняваш. Предприел съм вече някои мерки, но и ще добавя още след твоето видео. Благодаря :)
Pogledni vidiata koito sam spodilil v descripciiqta na videoto bratlence!

You have to love this man. Cheers.
Hugs brother 🤗
Have a wonderful Sunday buddy 🤛
Maybe one of your best videos!
(and the others are already great)
Thanks for your authenticity and sharing the experiences which others might help. You‘re right, we all share the love for the same passion. The only thing which doubles when you share it.
Thank you for the kind words Freddy 🤗
Best wishes for the rest of the weekend brother 💪
Hi mate. I’ve been there. I’m 37 and a year ago I was the same. Now my wife uses organic ingredients and I go running everyday. I’ve lowered my resting heart rate loads. I’ve lost weight and I feel so much better. I ran 18 miles the other week. Because of the changes I’ve made my quality of life has improved 100 fold. I feel so much better. It was hard at the beginning but I love it now and this mentality has carried over to my sim racing. Thanks for sharing and thank you for the awesome content mate, you’ll never know how much it means to us 🙏
It is crazy how with those tweaks we can discover different personalities in ourselves 😁
I’m so glad to hear you found the best part in yourself and enjoying every activity 💪
Hugs brother 🤗
I turned 41 this year. Last year I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I made lifestyle changes and lost 70lbs and my blood sugar levels are back to normal. I too used to feel tired and lost all motivation to do anything. I also had bad acid reflux. Everything feels so much better now. I appreciate this video more than you think. Love the channel man. Congrats on getting healthy!
Yeh man, insulin resistance is bad things but is stage two is reversible and I’m happy you fight back and get better!
I know how hard it is and I’m proud of you 💪
Seems to me you actually lost your passion for life. When it happens nothing makes you happy. I was like you after I retired. Then I found out about racing games which made me happy again.😊 I am sure you will get better and better in time.👍
That exactly happened indeed but fortunately there are so many great people who are sharing proper information and I was lucky to discover it and take the necessary decisions to fix myself 😃
Hugs🤗
motivation is driven by passion and when passion is drain there no motivation. why i said these new sim racer aren't passionate about the scene but more influence into the scene not knowing what best so they come and go. only the OG with be motivated to excel beyond their passion
Well said buddy 🤛
right now im 15, i love sim racing but every now and again it feels so empty to me. i dont know if this is completely different, but i have noticed that taking time away really gives me so much built up passion.
You are young and have to experience everything in life!
Enjoy the sim but make time for the other important things!
You are our future !!!
the problem is new comers thinking they the next best thing creating social content just to get the thrill of what we created. which lead to people leaving them industry because of wanna be noobs i lost my passion due to ego irl drivers and newbies that think they know best when you know it a scam or trash to the sim industry and with all these new brand name make it even more difficult for sim industry to excel. all im saying is those who know what the its was like before 2020 will understand the true meaning behind sim racing as a whole my way out was to open a store to educate people on this industry. they come and go like condoms
Kind of true indeed 🙈
I’ve lost my passion due to health. Rheumatoid arthritis is eating my joints and sim racing is getting painful. I’ve turned down ffb, made numerous rig adjustments, brake settings, etc. I’ve also sold my motorcycle. I miss both!
Sorry to hear that brother 🙈
I hope you will find the way to bring some new passion in your life!
Appreciate the honesty, I love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences in and out of the simrig. Cheers
Hugs brother and thank you for the endless support ❤
Yep right there with you been there and will happen again sooner or later.
The lifestyle those days is leading everyone there but fortunately there is tons of information how to deal with it and is only on us the learn and make few important decisions to make it right 💪😃
I notice that I sleep really shit the last few months. I’m already trying to fix that. I see myself in a few things you mentioned. This video is really helpful
Watch the videos I shared in the discretion buddy! It is possible to change your life as did with mine 😃
Impressive that you talk so open about these problems. Those videos outside the rig wich teach about actual life are one of the reasons why I love this channal so much. And happy to hear that youre optimising yourself and youre now filled with happiness and motivation! Have a great weekend and happy racing 🍻😁
I hope I can just transfer the bug to people who may find themselves in that situation which will most likely happen to everyone at some point!
There is so much useful information out there which is changing our lives in such a positive way 💪
Hugs and tanks for the support brother ❤️
@chepilevski I'm sure you can and already do! There are probably many people watching which are at that point right now and find those words very helpful and motivating.
Hello From Greece ! Keep on motivating us mate ! You are the best !
Hugs Nico 🤗
Efharisto gia tha kala logia aderfe mou 🤛
I used to play mostly racing games for over 10 years but over the past three or four years I don't play much racing games anymore. 95% of the time when I play a game now it's not a racing game.
I'm from Ireland and I was born here in Ireland 51 years ago.
Jezz that was so freaking precise that hurts, not complaining though, best thing I ever heard, I'm reaching my 40th and I am down that spiral, I really appretiate your sharing your experience
There is way out brother and on the other side things are even way better 😃
Hugs my friend 🤗
God bless you bro. Glad you were able to get past the hard times and enjoy your life. Thank you for bringing us through this journey.
Thanks man and thanks for the endless support 🤗
You are doing such an amazing job with your videos and one can sense, that you really got something to say that goes waaaay beyond SimRacing!
I am withdrawing from sugar and carbs myself and your words are giving me extra motivation, thank you for that. Please keep up the great work, I love what you’re doing. ❤
Oh man, it will be hard fight with the voice in your head but every win will bring you close to the energy and good mood paradise 😃
You will feel so proud with yourself after just few months and to be honest, positive results are coming very quickly!
Only few weeks and you will start seeing the difference 💪
That’s the best choice you will ever made in your life without overstating at all!
Push it and get all the rewards 💪
Completly relate to everything you said changed countries multiple times in my life, 44 this year and am in that dip point still i know a change is comming soon though so not to worried. keep up your good work
Best wishes brother !
We are fighters 💪
Jesus man. I just got over a back injury and I thought I might loose my passion. I was working to much making that Sim money. Even had really bad stomach issues. Anyways, I quit sugar and got a personal trainer to help me be strong for all that I do. Its pretty similar to you. No back issue, lost 40 pounds and got a six pack. Now maybe I can get good enough at driving, for endurance racing lol. Um, yeah this has got to be my 1st or 2nd favorite video now!
Hats off for your success brother 😃💪
It is crazy how those harsh moments are the real reason of our wellbeing evolution 😃
We are fighters 💪
I've been in a terrible place for to long. Gave up sim racing because I felt I wasn't good enough. Recently started watching your videos again and decided to go for it and start racing again and just enjoy it. Love your TH-cam channel, thanks for everything!
Hey man, in competitive gaming there will always be people better than us!
Fighting fairly with people on our level makes it fun and the entire experience is enjoyable 💪
Thanks for share all this! I'm 47 years and some similar troubles time ago, 96 kg and really high blood pressure values, the click was a peak of that values that almost finish really bad. After that I find that my problem was the sodium, not by adding salt on food, just the included in every packed food. Controlling that and some similar habits as you comment I could lose weight until 67 kg in eight months (too much loose, too much fast), 73 kg now, working out almost every day and with a lot better humor and energy 😅
So awesome to read your successful journey with this brother 💪
Little known and things can change significantly 😃
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your life with us.
Hugs brother and best wishes for the Sunday 🤗
We see you dont see money in siming as an incentive, so much love in your community. Take care 😊
My most valuable thing have always be TIME and how can optimize it in the best possible way for my wellbeing.
As long as the money are enough to pay my basics needs the rest is just internal perception😃
Hugs brother and best wishes for the rest of the weekend 🤛
Yeah me to lost my passion for iracing because its not real enough and graphics sucks old but some will say its great yeah my ass because they dont wanna invest in a high end computer thats why
Best video and on the point I have seen on TH-cam on a long time. Much respect. All be there and going through it
Hugs brother and best wishes for the rest of the weekend 🤗
I'm so tired of my work,it's killing me cause so much stress my work to deal with people most probably 80% angry and very angry people.Its so draining 😢
That can be a problem man 🙈
I hope you will find the way to take the stress out of your day!
I had that stressful experience in my work but slowly decided to to work hard and change my view and shift mentality and stop giving a f….k about the stress people were creating around me!
I’m doing my best to get the work done but is not always up to me so, I try to not break myself in half for things that don’t depend on my performance!
@@chepilevski Thank you for being true human being. One of my favourite channel and inspiration
Yep, we are what we eat, garbage in, garbage out...Focus on life's positives and push past the negatives. You only have one life, make everyday count.
True words my friend 💪
I appreciate the video. 55 myself and facing a lot of the same challenges we all do. Thank you for sharing your personal struggles and successes. Perfect timing and certainly motivational.
There is way out of this state 💪
Few important decision and we can discover completely new personality in ourselves 😃
This is totally normal. I took a year break and I've come back refreshed, like when the world was new. 😁
Passion renewed. We as human beings have varied hobbies and activities.
Now I race on weekends instead of every day.
You will never extinguish that competitive fire. It's just hidden from time to time.
FYI, I am much older, have had heart surgery, diabetes and other issues. I changed my diet and Get positive and remember everyday above ground is a good day. ❤
That’s true and we need to take a break and reset from time to time 💪
Two word to this gentleman that will wrap all my feelings, thoughts, understanding and motivation for seeing this = Kudos and love / Thanks for sharing !
Thank you for the kind words man 🤗
Best wishes for the rest of the weekend 😃
Zazen practice helps you build a healthy mind. Being able to stop thinking is what we are lacking. Starting to sleep on the floor, as we have for 1000's of years before helps as well.
Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Shunryu Suzuki is a good place to start. Going for walks and be one with nature helps to heal from within.
That’s interesting and will definitely look at it 😃
Take a little distance, calm your mind. The passion will come back. Always good to widen your horizon and then come back to what you love. Thanks for sharing.
Life is a beach.
Very good points brother 💪
My last proper simrace was 5 years ago in 24 Hours of LeMans in Virtual Endurance Championship and when my time arrived to drive i did first lap from the pits and second lap i crashed the car and game over for the team ( i still feel sorry about that ). The lack of sleep and no energy almost all the time because of a new job , made me to quit simracing . Now i do some short racing in weekends but yes, i understand you very well and i think most of us are going in same shit in life ( from time to time ) :) . Keep pushing and ENJOY THE LIFE . P.S. Shut up about your age , we are young :)))))
Happy to see you found the balance and get back to hobby 💪😃
Age is just number anyway 😁
I never felt better before and at this point I prefer the knowledge I collect then the passed years 😁
Hugs brother
Hey brother. This video is brilliant. I would love to say, I never felt something the same way like what you describe but that’s a straight lie.
I’m currently in the middle of this and I must honestly say, getting out is a nightmare. Currently buying stuff for the sim but not even wanting to drive sounds stupid which it is. And still here I am doing it
Having fully worked out scripts for videos in the drawer but not recording them as I just don’t feel I have the right energy for them.
Thank you for sharing. Some Tipps I will try. See you soon in Dortmund again. Big hug ❤
Hey Alex, if you take time and watch some of the videos i shared below you will find all the answers for our state 😁
It is so fixable 💪
Hugs bro and can’t wait to see you in Dortmund 🤗
hello, I had a similar experience to you, I am 40 years old and 2 years ago I had gained a lot of weight because of soda and junk food, I always felt exhausted I went to see my doctor and have blood taken, results my liver was in serious pain, hepatic steatosis... and pancreatic cyst... I lost 27 kilos, rebalanced my diet (vegetables, chicken etc.) no more junk food and I did a lot of jogging and everything was back to normal, and for more than 10 years no social networks because it's .... big ups to you from France, and a big like for your video as usual ;)
So happy to read your fight it back with some important decisions which are hard to be fallow and need tons of discipline 💪
Hugs brother 🤗
Big facts. Great vid brother.
Hugs brother and best wishes for the Sunday 😃
Great video. I have been low carb sugar free for a long time. Sometimes I fall off the wagon, usually the woman I'm with being a bad influence. This is a good reminder to put yourself first. With the sugar out of your body you have a renewed energy and don't feel hungry all the time. It's great! All people should try it.
So true!
I discovered a completely different personality ones I clean up and every time I fall off I can see my old self quickly and can consciously examine every single wrong behavior and feelings I had before 😁
It crazy what impact that have on us 🙈
@@chepilevski yes I agree 100%!
During your rough times, I wish I could’ve been there for you in person, man. 🤗 thank you for sharing those super personal details… for a starting point, be assured, I’m only a private message away! You talking about topics I’ve been challenged my whole while life with, is encouraging and can’t thank you enough. Because sometimes in life, when you get the important messages multiple times and you don’t acted appropriately yet, it’s the messenger that makes all the difference in the long run. Damn… a bear hug goes out to you. Love you. 🤗 take care brother. We’ll meet again soon. 🥳
Thank you for the support Toni 🤗
Can’t wait to see you at the expo brother 😃
@@chepilevskiWish I could mert you guys as well. Only ”met” Toni in the GT4 in ACC where he showed how quick those cars can be 😂
Sugar is a fn killer man. Get off that shit now. I was so close to becoming diabetic cause of my sugar fix. Best decision ever! Raw food home cooked is always best. I lost 20kg after I quit sugar and started eating healthy. You are what you eat and sugar makes you so sweet you rot.
I can’t agree more about being the best decision we can ever make for our wellbeing 💪
@@chepilevski So happy to hear you are on top again brother. Keep practising those gratitudes. All your friends here on your channel will support you in any way we can. Don't ever be scared to reach out man I've also been to the darkest depths of my soul and I can tell you a little love given goes a hell of a long way. As we say Australia 'Chin up chinna!' 💛
@@discodan2265 🤗🤗🤗🤗
100 years is never enough. If we have 300 to 500 years, we will all be a lot happier, maybe...
We usually understand how to live bit late in our short lives 😁
Love this, I've been through this at 36 and found talking to a therapist was a big component of finding that life passion back.
Happy to hear you give attention to that and found the way to fix it brother 💪
Happy Sunday buddy 🤛
Wow first time I look instantly a video that is uploaded 2min ago 😮
Thank you for your willingness to talk about this! I’ve been through this myself (still working through it actually) but I’m glad you’ve found your way through! Бог да благослови!
Man, the results are insane and I’m so glad your dive into this 💪
Hugs brother
Man. I’m 35 and recently suffered nerve inflammation that affected both my arms and it really dragged my mindset to the floor. I’m back now feeling better mentally and working with my physiotherapist to fix myself and get back to my normal life. For the past 6 months I haven’t been able to play with my daughter, drive, workout or lift anything and not even clean the house.
Thankfully my wife is an angel and helping with everything but I truly miss sim racing and can’t get back.
Different issues but I understand what you went through and glad you are back to your motivated self. We have to keep pushing ourselves to new highs even when life kicks us in the butt. All the best
Oh man, you must do your best to recover from this.
Health is so important and we other take it for granted 🙈
Hope to hear good news from you in the future buddy 🤗
Parsonage turner ?
@@taki38 maybe. Doctors never mentioned it but I have more pain than weakness
Hey RBM. At the 11:19 mark of this video you state that you stopped watching the "short shitty video's"..... but I always thought you LIKED? my Channel, hahahaha. ;P
Just joking of course, as I'm now retired from YT anyway. But I do think that what your discussing here is very much like being an alcoholic, in that you usually have to hit that rock-bottom state, before being able to make any drastic change and more importantly, be willing to stick to it???
Yes man, I never consumed alcohol as my body refuses to metabolize it and throw it away and I also hate the feeling being drunk but the sugar was really like addiction to me 🙈
I genuinely appreciate your openness and honesty. I can relate to several of your life experiences.
Hugs brother and best wishes for the rest of the weekend 😃
@@chepilevski Thanks brother! Same to you🤙
I’m going out on track in a spec Mazda for the first time next month. I feel like a child on Xmas.
That will be such a great and memorable experience brother 😃
Enjoy the anticipation and then the moment 💪
@@chepilevskiI appreciate your channel so much. Everyone around me thought I was crazy when I built my rig during the pandemic and I set the goal of getting on track in real life. The pay off is not when you prove anyone wrong but when people start to follow you.
@@evansacks9911 that’s exactly 😁
Amin brother 💪
Great Video, as usual. I am 52, Greek, born and live in Germany, full time office job, martial arts since many many years keeping my body as much as possible healthy. Simracing since 4 years and you are the biggest inspiration. Now I am working on building my own business around simracing because. Who knows, when I get a chance to meet you, I would like to share with you my plans, would be a pleasure. Cheers and keep going
Love it aderfe mou 💪
Sounds like you have great plan 😃
Happy you’re taking are of your health!
Well hopefully we will meet one day.
Duuuude, I’m from Bulgaria too! (Living in Los Angeles, and been around the world too so I can relate!). I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks and just found that you’re Bulgarian. So cool and so true that food, health and sleep are never overrated on how important they are! Keep your passion on man, that’s super important!
Hi Grigor 🤗
Thanks for the kind words my friend ❤️
Hugs and best wishes for the weekend 😃
Pozdravi ot Germania 🤛
Kinda going through what you described. Maybe not to the extent you explained, but similar. Wake up feeling tired, feel tired throughout the entire day. Get home from work and even though simracing is probably my favorite hobby i have next to no motivation to hop in the rig. Even just thinking of having to put on my racing shoes is sometimes enough to keep me out of the rig. Trying to sleep more now. Got used to 4-5 hours of sleep for so long. Now I'm getting 7-8. Still having trouble with the food cravings but it's coming along.
I appreciate you posting this video. Feels good knowing others have been where i am and have gotten through it. Dont think you realize how much you do for the sim racing community. So thank you.
All my friends have been trough this state but with those few tweaks felt infinitely better!
Craving is harsh but it goes away with the time and the right food choices 🤛
You are in the right path buddy 💪
This video had a funny release timing for me. I'm 42 and haven't had energy at all, for basically 4 years. Get home from work and crash every day. Only day I feel somewhat rested is Sunday. This month I have started to exercise 3 times a week and I've cut out processed food. I had already cut out most sugar, but not 100%. I already feel better and have slept better these first few weeks. Not always motivated to go to the gym, but I just get my ass in the door even if I feel like shit. I look forward to December to compare how I felt before I started to then. Your video makes me hopeful I'm on the right track to get some excess energy back. Thanks as always mate for the great videos you make!
You can imagine where this path will lead you in few months man!
Dragging yourself to the gim even if is not easy is absolute benefit for your motivation later in the day and will help you take the right nutrition choices as you don’t want your hard work to be waste!
When you cut the processed food totally at some point things will become way better and at some point you will feel better than your twenties!
It is not easy to cut the sugar as I fight with myself every day but knowing how I will feel after consuming it, it is way high price to pay for just few minutes cheap please!
I guess I am in the middle of that. Thought I had a “bore-out”because my work had no challenges anymore so I left my well paying job to do whatever I wanted for 1-2 year (that was the plan and it is now almost 3 years).
But my energy level never fixed itself and I love me some sugar so that could be the reason. But thinking about a life without sugar sounds freakin scary to me tbh and I don’t feel the strength to do that right now. Started exercising again a few weeks ago and cutting back on the sugar so hopefully that will be enough.
Thanks for sharing my man 🙏
Oh man, I love sugar and I live on sugar my entire existence 🙈
It is hard shit I had to fight every day but is definitely worth for the way I feel 😃
I can’t lie, is really hard to resist the temptation but is so rewarding 💪
Your work here means a lot to me personally. I am retired at 62. I exercise daily and do a lot of raw vegetables. Over half my friends all died of cancer or they lived to be in their 90's and died. Wasn't pretty.
We sim racers got to be in shape! LOL
Do some cardio and afford this world your middle finger when it tells us we're wrong! Follow your heart my friend.
Diet and cardio help with a release.
Much love my friend.
Your friend from California

Thank you for the beautiful post Marc 🤗
You have definitely made some good choices in your life and also great attitude 💪
Let’s keep doing the right thing and enjoy our existence as best as we can 😃

I was half expecting for you to say you went on Testosterone Replacement Therapy, but the problem wasn't the testosterone, it was you. But you fixed it, man ! I'm proud of you ! We all battle our demons small or big and im glad you managed to win ! Your body looks better than mine and I am 30 ! Hats off to you sir !
Thanks for the kind words buddy 🤗
This is strange because we have never met, but I consider you a friend and enjoy your perspective on everything. After 30 years in the military travelling the world one pro tip for eating is if they sell it at a petrol station convenience store don't eat it. Avoid processed food and always get at least 6 hours or more of sleep. Sim racing is a tough gig on You Tube. Barry at SRG took an extended break. Your passion is everything, branching out is a good thing and your physical and mental health is everything! God bless you man and stay safe.
Thanks for the kind post buddy 🤗
Is fun how we can feel close even haven’t met in person and I have so many friends who have been super close and supportive without even meeting in person 💪
World is beautiful place those days even if some people can argue with that😁
Hugs buddy 🤗
Same here. You are what you eat and I ate junk, became junk. However, my simracing passion went away once I realized one of the best sims out there are using their players as milking cows with a hard dopamin based ranking system. I am not one to stand that, others are, but I ditched simracing because of it. Guess what, the racing passion still lives but it is a passion, not an occupation, and the other passion for flightsims took over. Maybe I'm lucky to have more than one passion...
I really enjoy your videos man. There's noone more balanced on how they approach a passion than you are. This video shows it. Again. Thanks man.
It is great to have several passions man 💪😃
We are so lucky
Damn, this went so much further than sim racing. Thankyou for using your channel for this, I started sim racing because of you and now I have a rig that I absolutely love spending time in... i'm getting my 6 pack now.
You trully are inspiring.
Love you brother 🤗
Let’s optimize ourselves end enjoy on max our existence 💪
You’re an inspiration mate.
It takes massive balls to address something like this to any audience!
Needless to say you’ve helped more than a few people with this video ❤
Keep racing and stay healthy mate!
Hugs brother 🤗
Take care my friend 💪
Great video man! I suspect actual grown up content isn't an easy sell for impatient folks but i for one really appreciate your videos. Perhaps once you are able to be a youtuber full time then you'll be more able to add more visual pazaz for the less patient kiddies.✌️
Oh man, i don’t think my goal will be to become full time on TH-cam as that will kill the way I see life.
I also set an option to every upload to not be sown or promoted to guys under 23 as they won’t be interested anyway at that age and have to do other things in life 😃
I’m just enjoying the journey with the great community around this channel 💪
Hugs buddy and best wishes for the rest of the weekend 😃

Thanks brother 🤛
It really makes huge difference in my life and I discovered entirely new personality with those few tweaks😃
Few of my good friends follow my steps and have never felt better and I really hope some of the guys around who have some of these problems will get the bug and make the difference 💪
Enjoy the weekend buddy 😃
I am trying to find the passion for sim racing once again, i can't stand having a $7k paperweight beside me mocking me.
You will David 🤛

You also help other people not to loose hope and their passion is getting stronger.
i wish you the best.
Yeh man, I love Greece so much, it is like devteri patrida 😃
There are certain times in life when everything works out and all out of a sudden you hit the wall with full force. I am 35 and have had a few such situations where i was sitting around for weeks starring at the ceiling, and did not know what to do with my life, and my love for drifting, racing and everything else was gone.
But it was always the love for those things that got me back on my feet and to start all over again trying to adapt evolve and trying to be a better person, trying to help other people along the way.
Thanks for sharing your experiences, and it is so nice to see that people like you are such an inspiration for a lot of people, me included!
Man, that is the best way of spending our existence 💪
Fighting back and helping others is the biggest reward we can get!
I love helping my friends and family but my fault is my entire life I push back the help offered to me and stealing that pleasure from the people who love me🙈
I try hard to change that ones I realize those who help actually get more internal reward then those who have been helped!
Hugs my friend and thank you for sharing your story ❤️
Please don’t get me wrong my friend, my intention is not to lecture or patronize, just wanna share my take on this matter, which maybe a bit unpopular.
Let’s sum up all the things you’ve revealed about yourself:
Shit job
Stress
Pressure
“The mornings were even harder because I had to repeat all this shit again”
“I built the life I want, but I was unhappy and lethargic”
Another day in hell
And then you say:
“For some people this work is like nightmare, but I love it.”
See the contradiction?
If you really want to understand the actual cause and mechanism of your downfall, you should look under the hood of your emotions my friend, and not the diet and life style habits.
Sure, living a healthy and active life does good to your body and psyche.
But what was really the cause of your suffering?
Surely it wasn't the sugar and overeating, that was only a consequence, an unhealthy coping mechanism.
“I’m not afraid of loosing everything” - yet you still work the job you hate.
You’re optimizing yourself to be enslaved.
The best thing that ever happened to me was loosing the job that I hated.
A job that slowly started to devour my soul.
Now I'm penniless, but I don't care.
I'd rather go homeless than being a slave to a company that doesn't give a rat's ass about me.
I'd be happy with that 300-500 bucks a month from doing something I love.
In some countries, you could make a decent living out of that.
Those are really good points brother 🤛
Your videos are always a good source of inspiration. Thanks buddy.
Hugs brother 🤗
The only way I got better, through everything you mentioned is finding Jesus. :)
(strictly discussing spiritual part)
Loved the video, thanks for sharing!
If aliens visit the earth... my vote goes to RBM to represent the humanity.
😜😂
You make me laugh brother 😁
Thanks for the support my friend ❤️
Sugar is the biggest drug not many realise. Also the industry do a huge social experiment without really checking the results instead of there profits.
I believe sugar is getting in the path of alcohol and nicotine and in the next 20-30 years things will be different when the new generation grows up and fight back!
It is crazy when I go in the supermarket and see 80-90% of sugary highly processed foods 🙈
@@chepilevski At the moment the new generation is addicted to sugar-energy-drinks and nicotine cigarettes where recently transformed into flavoured disco steam/fog. For me the industry is still on the winning side with enough money to manipulate the politics, so nobody can stop them. Only each individual itself can fight against it. But sugar triggers the same spot like cocaine and other hard stuff, so it’s not that easy.
Glad you’ve changed it and spread that info out to all your young ages viewers and ofcourse also the elder ones.
@@lazyman1011 yeh man, sugar just hit the dopamine reward system as any other addictive behavior 🙈
I think that last gen will get so sick and will have to act accordingly.
REAL TALK BROTHER ! ❤️ 💪 I’m happy that you are good now ! 🥊
It is different life for sure brother 💪😃
Have a great weekend my friend 😃
Glad you are feeling well now , you are doing what I should be doing I’m 62 and watch your channel ,love your rig wish I could make the transition from monitors to the rig look as good as yours. Any advice!😁
I am really pleased that i have found your channel!
Thank you so much for your content, time spent on editing videos and all the info you are sharing.. :)
You were the reason i started to build my own rig at the first place, instead of buying one. (bcs there was nothing like yours available, so gotta make it by yourself!)
Anyways, love watching your videos, respect for sharing this.!
From Finland with love.
Kitos for the kind words brother 🤗
So glad to be part of your journey 🤛😃
Thank you a lot for making this video, like someone else said, you are an inspiration beyond simracing!
I am only 17, however I had gone through a fair bit of anxiety in this year and it was just a very bad year. I went through those stages of being drained of dopamine and lack of motivation and desire to do anything. In April of this year it went through the roof with everything and I had constant panic attacks and I kept asking myself it is worth it to do anything anymore. (Keep in mind I am only 17, a teenager should have mood swings but not think about dumb shit like this!)
At the time I was massively burnt out because I used to do eSports in ACC, and that further drained my passion for racing and everything else. After I had gotten professional help and went through that phase I was still drained of motivation to do anything, eventually quitting eSports and trying to find a new passion.. Fast forward to the Summer of 2024 and I had some health problems due to Creatine mixed with hot weather and me not drinking enough water.. I had experienced 210/110 Blood Pressure and was rushed to the ER because of it.
Now.. that's where I really said: Okay, let's prioritize life and mental being before everything, thankfully school was finished and I was relieved of that. Further on, going to vacation it just became a mess with no happy ending, constant homesickness and anxiety for no reason, which followed me back home, occasionally having anxiety attack but finding how to cope with them.
These anxiety attacks stopped just a few days ago as I got my motivation back. I was 92kg this entire year and during summer I dropped to 87kg, which was at first a health concern because I was still anxious due to the blood pressure spike and was overthinking my health, before I researched and found out why (TL;DR, less eating, and when I ate I was subconcously eating healthier food).
This also added to regaining my motivation for many things, simracing being one of them. I now wake up with a goal of what I want to do, of course still being in puberty, sometimes sends me off that path but I try my best to get back on it :) It's pretty scary how much our mental health is important, but thankfully it isn't impossible to fix. My goal now is to focus on quitting smoking and dropping down to 75kg while maintaining working out and slowly getting back into competitive racing.
Again, thank you very much for making this video, because it helped just a bit to see that it's possible to rise from the bottom. Nobody should experience stuff like this.
Greetings from Germany, from someone who used to live in neighbouring country of Bulgaria, Serbia! :)
Wow man, you had to deal with some serious problems in early age but as you already get to the right path with your young body you will receive in zero time!
To be honest, in 10-20 years you will realize you were lucky to experience that early and that have been the point you changed your life forever!
Fitness and healthy nutrition plus good sleep for the best possible recovery will give you the energy to conquer the world and make impossible dreams reality!
You are our future and you will do very very well in life, you just need little discipline and knowledge which you will find easy!
Hug and best wishes man💪
@@chepilevski Thank you for the kind words, I never thought about it as a life changing experience!
Now that you say it, I can see how it can shape my future. I'm surprised how much healthy nutrition and good sleep can change one's mentality and life, fitness goes without saying.
I'm glad this happened now, because if it ever happens in the future I know how to deal with it, and I will be carrying the knowledge I learned this year with me forever.
Stay strong and keep pushing, both in real life and on track! ;)
You're totally right. I experienced the same thing with carbs and sugar. One well meant advice, if you haven't already. Get your testosterone levels checked. We are not in our 20s anymore and low testosterone can lead to a bunch of symptoms you described in this video. cheers mate!
Those levels are definitely low in our age and that’s why I try to lift weights and preserve muscles as much as I can!
I never felt better as I do the last few years and can only imagine if I had discovered those things earlier but I’m also glad I discovered them at all 💪
Best wishes for the rest of the weekend brother 🤛
@@chepilevski Yeah, but if you have very low testosterone levels, you might want to talk to your doctor about that. It's something you can improve a bit, but not completely solve with nutrition and training.
Maannn, what did I step into ??? First of all, all the power and respect to you brother, salute!! I'm just getting curious about investing in this hobby, I do recognize some of what you said and am on my own journey of self-improvement (is that why people buy simrigs??? HAHAHA, just playin). Incredibly inspiring words. Thank you!
😁😁😁
I started my self improvement journey because I wanted to keep the experience enjoyable for as long as I can 🤣
Hugs brother and best wishes for the upcoming great times ahead for you 💪
I’m new to your channel, and I came here after looking up “how to build a sim racing rig” on google. 🤣 And then I watched your first video on your rig, then the 2024 version and now this one. I had only expected this channel to be about sim racing, but what I got was so much more. I got what your life was like both inside and out the drivers seat. The advice you’re giving is very real and true. Everyone has these slumps in life, but you can only get out of them if you truly want to. If there is a will there is a way. Just know that no pain lasts forever. And part of what gives life meaning is hardship. And hardship is what makes us work harder towards the things we enjoy in life. The good days and experiences are the oasis of what may seem to be in a life full of suffering. But it’s like you said brother, life is truly beautiful. As long as we have a passion and will to keep living it to see all of its beauty. You have not only inspired me more for my love of racing, but my love of life as well brother. I’m glad I found your channel and I really appreciate your effort. Don’t ever give up man. May God bless you brother. Much love ❤️
Thanks for the beautiful post and supportive words brother 🤗
Life is beautiful indeed, particularly for people who live it with passion and we are lucky to have it 💪😃
Hugs brother and best wishes for your journey 🤛
Stark, das du so offen über die schwierigen Phasen in deinem Leben sprichst und eine schöne Motivation für Menschen die gerade vielleicht selbiges durch machen. Wo genau warst du den in Griechenland?
Ich hoffe wirklich, dass es ein kleiner Motivationsfunke für diejenigen sein wird, die mit den Problemen konfrontiert sind, die ich zuvor hatte! Ich lebte in Mithilyni, Lesbos
Ich bin 4,5 Jahre nach meinem Herzinfarkt und versuche mein weg zu finden. Du bist mein Vorbild, danke für deine Videos!
Sei vorsichtig und kümmere dich um deine Gesundheit, Bruder! Viele Dinge sind umgekehrt
Im 55 and worked for a major corporation and I feel your pain. The money is good but I feel fizzled out. Always played video games, especially racing games since I was young. One of my passions was taking care of myself when I was young. Will over the years I let myself go and man it messed with my head. Tired, no energy and out of shape. Time to put myself back in shape. Body, mind and spirit.
Man, for you will take like no time as you have the muscle memory slipping under your skin.
One of my friends is 55 too and for few months felt like never before 💪
@@chepilevski yeah...Thanks for encouragement. No car, house and no boat can make you feel better than being in shape and feel good! Enjoy Life!
@@richnick1911 absolutely man!
Happens and wellbeing is only state of mind and external sources can’t help much unhappy soul 🙈
Nutrition is a big big deal, but speaking as an introvert (95% MBTI), sim racing (and programming) is right up my street. However, following anxiety attacks (back in 2012), I found out (through many books/podcasts), that genuine human connection, understanding of ones mind and maybe a belief in something a little bigger (whatever you want to call it), is more important than I/we want to believe. If you're still in Germany, maybe check out a place called Yoga Vidya (Bad Meinberg) for a weekend (they do some fascinating courses). When I first went there, it felt like a, "dog on a string" kind of place - but - once I put my prejudices and judgements aside - it gave me something different and they have some fascinating speakers (I ended up going there several times). I'm not trying to get you into a cult - honest 🙂- but it's a different kind of thing that simply made me feel good. Hang in their amigo - still loving this channel.
Thanks for sharing your story man and that sounds interesting indeed😃
Must do some research 💪
Best wishes friend 🤛
48 y/o here mate. I haven’t had any 40s crisis and I blame those healthy eating habits and intermittent fasting for it. 3 things will make you live the longest and healthiest you are supposed to.
1. Healthy diet
2. Enough sleep
3. Proper exercise
Don’t waste your valuable time replying to my comment 😉
That’s great man💪
Quality life right there!
Those 3 steps are really the key 🤛
Everyone, sooner or later, has a slightly more difficult time in life, important to surround themselves with people who help you forget about your problems. Hobby and passion is also something very useful. You do great things for the whole community, keep it up.
Jagermaister rules, I recommend Don Papa rum. Cheers
Hugs brother 🤗
Hey Chep...i really love the way your mind works. You're original. inquiring and perceptive .Thanks so much for those inspirational thoughts. What you say here should be taught in schools. Should be common knowledge that is instilled into everyone from the youngest age.We could save billions on the health budget and make a world of difference in the lives of generations to come...but there's no appetite for that from our masters so people will continue to have to swim against the tide to unlock these secrets. I'd love to catch up if i'm ever in your area.
Thanks for the beautiful post man ❤️
I really hope this info will be passed one day in school but because the problems arrives bit late in life I don’t know if will make real difference.
Honestly parents will be aware and control this !
Hugs buddy
Thanks for your courage and sharing your life experience. I found myself in similar situation. I found your video educative, and i can approve that cutting the social media is best think to do improve you mental health (removal of cheap dopamine) and gain some personal time at same time...
thanks..
I couldn’t believe how much spare time I found after cutting social media 😁
Hugs brother
