New here with YouTube idea
I’m Shamel, and I’m thrilled to join this community. I’m starting a YouTube channel called "It’s a We Problem", and I’m looking for advice and support as I begin my journey. I'm approaching this channel from my perspective. I completed one of those random online life domain questionnaires and found that my quality of life is very low. I have all the classics like a traumatic childhood, depression, and fixed mindset, and I've lived most of my life in survival mode. I've already been on this journey with failures for a few years, and that's where I'm starting my YouTube channel... "Why haven't I changed my life yet?" Even though, I've since seen it as a failure that I'm even asking myself this question, it's actually not (it's a sign of growth). And, in there lies my problem. When you see failure as a full stop, this negative black or white thing, it's hard to push past it and it's hard to see yourself. I've become more self-aware, I've learned how to suffer less, I've empowered myself by realizing my accountability and therefore my ability to do better, and as long as I'm alive... As long as I have a now, I can always do better. That's not failure! People are suffering and feeling hopeless and powerless, especially with the political shifts. But they aren't as powerless as they think and I want to shine a light on their capacity to change and make their lives better even when facing systemic barriers. It's a We Problem acknowledges that the struggles we face are shared by most, if not all people, and focuses on the importance and strength of community. I really believe, as someone who spent years in deep depression swimming in suicidal thoughts that only recently stopped completely when I founded my mom group, it's feeling isolated in your struggles when you fall and stay in that sense of hopelessness and powerlessness. I'm approaching self-improvement holistically via life domains. While all life domains are interconnected, I’m starting with three key areas that I believe will be foundational to my growth and consistent progress.
