And I keptshowinguptothegymthree, fourtimes a week, andnoteven a yearafterthat, I wentfromthistothis, andthenthistothis.
そして週に3、4回ジムに通い続け、それから1年も経たないうちに、こんな状態からこんな状態になった。
Itwasreallyweird.
本当に奇妙だった。
I feltlike I justwokeuponeday a completelydifferentperson, and I'vecometolearnthatthisphenomenon, orwhateveryouwanttocallit, isactuallyrelatedtosomethingcalledthelawofdetachment.
Ittookmesuch a longtimeformetogetmyheadarounditbecausethere's a bunchofmisconceptionsoutthereaboutwhatdetachmentactuallyis, andhowtosuccessfullygoaboutit.
Butonce I did, itbroughtme a lotofgreatresultsinsomanydifferentareasofmylife, which I'lltouchmoreonlateroninthisvideo.
このビデオの後半で詳しく触れる。

あなたの時間を大切にしたいので、いつものようにタイムスタンプを以下に記す。
Sowhatexactlyisthelawofdetachment?
では、離脱の法則とはいったい何なのか?
I usedtothinkthatdetachmentwasthesameasbeingapathetic, orbeingemotionallyindifferent, likehaving a blasé attitudetowardslife, whereyou'rejustlike, yeahwhatever, I don't carewhathappenstome, ormycareer, ormyrelationship.
It's notneedingforthingstoturnout a certainway, butatthesametimeyou'restillworkingtowardsandhaving a stakeinthatrelationship, orthatcareer, orthatlifeoutcome.
It's a balancingactofcaringenoughtoworkhardtowardsthatgoal, whilestillnotcaringtoomuchandbeingoverlyinvested, tothepointwhereitleadstoself-sabotagingbehavior.
Whenwecare a littletoomuch, itputs a lotofpressureonustoachievethatoutcome, andoftenthiscausesustooverthinkandalsomakeirrationaldecisions, whichthenironicallystopsusfromachievingtheresultthatwewant.
Basically, youwon't becompletelyruinedandsoundslike, well, youknow, thisrelationshipdidn't reallyworkout, and I meanwetriedourbest, butmaybeitwasjustnevermeanttobe, anditwasalwaysjustmeanttocometoanend, and I'llbeokay.
I'vereallycometorealizethatbeingabletodetachisprobablyoneofthegreatestlifeskillsthatyoucanhave, whichiswhyit's somethingthat I reallywanttoworkonthisyear.
Detachmentcanbeappliedtoprettymucheveryscenarioandareaofsothat's what I'm goingtouseasexamples.
デタッチメントは、ほとんどすべてのシナリオと分野に適用できる。
Detachmentinrelationships.
人間関係における断捨離。
Soinoneofmypastrelationships, I wasreallyjustattachedtotheideaofthisfuturethatweweregoingtohavebecauseourtrajectoriesweresoaligned, anditallseemedsoperfectintheoryanyway.
I keptthinkingtomyselflike, manthisreallyneedstoworkoutbecauseotherwisetheplanisgoingtofallapart.
そうでないと計画が崩れてしまう。
Lookingback, if I wasjustabletodetachfromthisdreamlifethat I hadenvisionedforthebothofus, then I wouldhaverealized a lotsoonerthat I didn't needthispersoninordertomaterializethatdreamlife.
Andthereasonwhythisdidn't workisbecause I wouldobsessivelylookinthemirroreveryday, andif I didn't seeprogressattherateatwhich I wantedtoseeit, thenitwoulddiscourageme a lot.
Andtome, I lovemymetimeinthekitchen, where I'm justlike, youknow, listeningtomusicor a podcast, andtryingoutsomethingnew.
キッチンで音楽やポッドキャストを聴きながら、何か新しいことに挑戦する。
And I justmadesurethat I wasfeelinggood, andwashavingfunthroughoutthejourney.
そして、旅の間中、気分が良く、楽しんでいることを確認した。
Andthenoneday, ninemonthslater, I wentto a friend's placefor a swim, andthenwhen I cameoutinmybikini, shejustkindoflikelookedatmeandsaid, dude, you'relikefitnow.
Andthatreallyprovedtomethatonce I stoppedcaringabouttheoutcome, andstoppedbeingsooverlyattachedtothisdreambodythat I wanted, thatwaswhen I actuallyachievedit.
StartingYouTube, I reallyhadzeroexpectationsfromthebeginning, and I toldmyselfthat, youknow, ifittakesme a yeartogettomyfirstthousandsubscribers, thenfine.
When I firststarted, I wasdoingthisjustformeas a passionproject, tofeellike I hadsomesortofmeaningandpurposeinmylife, because I wassoburntoutfromworkatthetime.
Justtogive a bitmorecontext, I recentlyleftmyjobthat I wasbondedtoforthepastthreeyears.
もう少し背景を説明すると、私は最近、この3年間、絆で結ばれていた仕事を辞めた。
Andbasicallywhatthatmeansisthatif I weretoterminatethecontractearly, sobeforethethreeyearsisup, then I wouldneedtopay a prettytwoyearsin, and I wasburntoutlikecrazy.
I noticedthatwaswhen I plateauedat 10k forseveralmonths, andthatwaswhenmyaverageviewcountdroppeddramatically.
数カ月間1万ドルで停滞していたとき、平均視聴回数が劇的に落ちたことに気づいたんだ。
Buttobehonest, thesaddestpartformewasthat I justwasn't superproudofthecontentthat I wasmakinganymore.
でも正直なところ、一番悲しかったのは、自分が作っているコンテンツに誇りを持てなくなっていたことだ。
I reallydidn't feelgoodaboutmakingvideosanymore, and I didn't feelconnectedtothecontent I wasmaking, and I justfeltlike I waschurningoutstuffforthesakeofit.
もうビデオを作ることにいい気分はしなかったし、作っているコンテンツとのつながりも感じられなかった。
I reallyhadtoremindmyselfagainwhy I wasdoingYouTubeinthefirstplace, becauseif I wasn't feelinggooddoingit, thenwhatwasthepointinallofthis?
Sothen I decidedtostoptakingonsponsorships, andtoreallyhealmyrelationshipwithYouTube, andtomakecontentthat I feelsuperproudof, in a waythatmakesmefeelreallyhappyandfulfilled.
Thankyouguysforwatching, and I justwantedtoletyouknowthat I won't bepostingforthenextcoupleofweeksorso, because I'llbeflyingofftoSwedenverysoon, and I'llprobablyneedsometimetosettledownoverthere, andalsoto, youknow, setup a nicestudiorecordingspace.
Andifyou'renewhere, basically I quitmyjobrecently, and I'm goingtobeheadingovertoSwedenfor a fewmonthstogovisitmysisterthere.
スウェーデンの妹に会いに行くために、数ヶ月間スウェーデンに行く予定なんだ。
AndthenafterSweden, I'vegotsomereally, reallyexcitingplansthat I cannotwaittosharewithyouguys, but I'llprobablydo a bigrevealin a futurevideo, sostaytunedforthat.
Butguys, I cannottellyouhowsad I amtoleavethisapartment, because I lovethisYouTubesetupthat I currentlyhaveatthemoment, andit's sosadbecause I can't bringanythisover.
