If those are the things that drive you, then you won’t last long. The content you’re creating should have a bigger purpose than simply just making you famous or getting tons of views. So how do you preserve your mental health these days as a content creator? Take it from a psychiatrist: start with your why. When your videos don’t do well, is it because people don’t like you? It’s easy to get caught up in negative comments, analytics, and comparison, but it doesn’t have to be that way. When it comes to YouTube, YOU are the product, and that can easily affect someone’s mental health. So why all the false starts? What scared her off? Haters, trolls, and negative comments. It wasn’t until 2018 where she started posting consistently, and has stayed consistent, posting one video a week, ever since. Tracey Marks posted her first YouTube video around 2010, and had many “false starts” in the 8 years that followed. Marks produces educational videos on her YouTube channel, DrTraceyMarks.ĭr. She believes that insight creates change, both on a micro-level (personal growth) and a macro-level (reduction in fear and social judgment). Tracey Marks is a general and forensic psychiatrist of over 20 years whose mission is to increase mental health awareness and understanding by educating people on psychiatric disorders, mental well-being, and self-improvement.
The journaling and reflection exercises in the workbook have three different components that we’re going to focus on: money, lifestyle, and mindset, and will help align your life goals with your YouTube goals to help create the 2022 that YOU want.ĭr.
