Howdy, my name is Diana Chu and I created SlowGaze to help you find abundance in "enough".
ENOUGH is...
- A wide open place of freedom, options, and opportunity (not a small, cramped box!)
- A place of empowerment
- Knowing yourself and what you want
- Simplicity, calm, & focus
"Minimalism" is just a philosophy. It's abstract. That's not "enough". I offer easy solutions for beginner minimalists, essentialists, women, and dreamers to take the next step after minimalism: maximizing and manifesting your true values.
Through simple rituals, mindset changes, and guided declutters, you can transform your outlook and let your light shine in others. I also started this channel to increase Asian-American representation the American context at large.

RUTHLESS MAKEUP COLLECTION DECLUTTER 2021 - New Year, Same Me, Less Stuff
Hi, I just found your channel with this video, and I really resonate with everything you said. I love your slow style content where it’s kind of got the feeling of being just a conversation between friends and I’m so glad I found you. Absolutely subscribing !
It's just been 3 months since I started doing a corporate job and it already feels as if it is sucking the life out of my soul. I have been going back and forth with the idea of leaving, or maybe it's this company and if I take a switch, things will be fine. I am so so confused. Can someone please help me sail through this situation. People around me are saying that because it's the first time i am out in the real world, i am feeling that way and that it will settle in a few years, but i am not sure if it's going to...
It took me 4 years to find this channel. How. I typed in _bronze eyeshadows_ before.
Please give us an updated makeup collection <3
I desperately want to quit the corporate life
I did (last week) without plan b and I m panicking!
Just found your channel and really enjoying it . Hope you post again soon ❤
I love your content. Will you be posting anytime soon?
I am so happy I found this video! I loved your points about radical self confidence, it pairs really nicely with the concept of radical self love that Sonya Renee Taylor talks about. I also loved what you said about showing the universe that you are serious. I feel like I’ve been stuck in the manifesting and planning phases and this is really motivating me to start DOING!
I love breakfast at Leipzig and was so interested in trying breakfast Highlands and after your video I was determined that I had to get it so I just got it today and I haven’t burned it but it smells so good thanks for the tip. It’s a very unique smelling candle, and I took it out of the box and I have it sitting at my bedside for the rest of today and I might light it tonight, great video just subscribed to your channel !
Aloha from Hawaii! Shaka! 🤙🏽 Thank you for the review of the products. It’s very helpful and I enjoy your all of your videos.
Howdy, SlowGazers: Here's a 2-year update from 2024! The short of it is: I am HAPPY. I haven't gone back to a corporate, 9-5 lifestyle since making this video. Instead, I'm running and operating my own business in the field that I trained in. My business partner is also my life partner and we're starting a family this summer (2024). We've been successful enough for my husband to also leave his corporate 9-5 job in 2022. Together, we're making our entrepreneurial life work-it's not easy, but it's ours-one day at a time. I'm not posting to RUclips often these days, but you can get all of my key learnings, pivots, and successes in writing through Substack: heybearbear.substack.com I sincerely appreciate your stories and comments on this video. Blown away. Take care and slow down, gaze inwards. xoxo Diana
You are so beautiful and I think that you have beautiful skin!
Going through this right now
I'm 52, I knew I needed to change job 15 months ago, I had the new contract in my hands.... amazing salary. I stayed to be kicked off now. My fault. Do not marry a company, do not fall in love with any company, you just work there in exchange for money.
I also quit my job which was toxic last year December and i started a RUclips channel which also i realized that it is hard to grow. However giving up is not an option. Also i have no regrets of quiting.
❤❤❤
That's nowhere near enough sunscreen. You need two finger lengths for your face and neck.
I could relate to so many points in this video. I am also a graphic designer in a corporate setting right now and feeling stuck. You must've been a talented designer an amazing person for having those roles and having people reach out to you for opportunities! I feel that if I quit I will have nothing, I don't know where my source of income will come from and for that reason it's holding me back. There's a whole mortgage that no one will be if I am jobless. I am not sociable and doesn't have a loud personality, so there's a lot of jobs I feel like I wouldn't be suited for and I get overlooked often. Even trying to switch to different fields hasn't been working.
Thank you for the most helpful video I have seen on decluttering books. I am retiring in 4 months and half my very extensive library (at least 4000 books) is at my work place; it will not fit into my home so I am facing a very major declutter! Thank you for your thoughts.
I recommend getting a Little Free Library, and stocking other LFLs with the books. Being a LFL steward is a fun way to meet neighbors. If you can't put up a permanent LFL, you can put up a movable one that might work. And maybe you can leave a bookshelf of books in your workplace break area and establish a Leave One, Take One exchange. I enjoyed that sharing with co-workers in one workplace. Enjoy your retirement! As for books you want to keep, consider getting ebooks, or see if your local library has them. You will feel reassured that those favorites are still available to you.
please come back 😭😭
Wonder how your collection is now and how you store it. Really like the way you lay your items out on cute trays and such. Wish you would come back 😊
These were great questions to ask. Some part of me knows that “when in doubt, throw out,” but when we declutter we really are poking at our relationship with our objects and with ourselves. That’s why know what to ask of yourself is so helpful. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for sharing this. In particular the grieving part. It is an enormous encouragement to me, today, as I “put the date on the calendar”.
I'm 33 and it makes me sad thinking about how I've been couped up in little offices separated from the world for about 13 years now. The pay is great, but I do not want to spend another 13 years in an office.
Great video! As a former teacher myself, I can totally relate to these mistakes. It's so important for educators transitioning into new careers to be aware of these pitfalls. Thanks for sharing!
I hate it, makes me look so oily and I have dry skin… am I doing something wrong?
I left my corp job at the end of 2022. Best decision I’ve ever made. All of 2022 I was sick nonstop. 2023 I never got sick, not ever ONCE! Sniffles here and there that went away but that was it. My aura is happy. I’m happy. I’m loving life. I have a makeup business. I also got back to RUclips and I just can’t express how happy I am. I’m not even making the money I was making at that job, yet! I plan to make double and triple that. Cheers to the dreamers and believers. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
It is not just “creatives” who hate the corporate world. Generally, a subset of PEOPLE hate the corporate world - even software developers, analysts, accountants, engineers. Lots of people find that it is a dumb stupid game where basically you spend your life filling in little squares - sort of like the work they do in the series “Severance”. Just wanted to point that out - thank you for your video!! Glad you had the guts to do it.
when I watched severance this is exactly how I felt
Thank you for being so real and authentic - it is so refreshing on social media. There are no words how impactful this has been. Thank you for being vulnerable 🤗
I’m quitting my job tomorrow
Wow, respect for not selling your values for 100K yearly! We've got just one life. I also quit my job after 15 years there and will start my own company in same field, hope it works out! I believe in it.
I’m confused. Towards the end you got into interviews, but I thought this video was going to be about leaving your 9 to 5 and not going back to another 9 to 5?
Maybe you could gift some of your makeup to other people, rather than putting them in a purgatory box and letting them expire.
Do you know what country the Merit Solo Shadow matte Eye color is made in? Thank you!
I can relate to this so much... thank you so much for sharing. I also have been struggling with Architecture since my first internship but just told myself to bite the bullet and "try it out for a little longer, maybe it'll be better". Its been 10 years now and I feel my depression and anxiety is just growing by the day. I also grew up in hong kong but moved back to North America and one of my biggest drawbacks of quitting my career is how would my friends and family view me when i go back to HK since everyone put their careers on a pedestal. But honestly, you're right, who fucking cares. I think it's time for me to move on...and to love myself a little better!
🌸 interesting 🧐
Great video!
Thank you so much for this beautiful share. You have covered things that I have struggled with that I have not found anyone else discussing these tips. I felt such a sense of relief hearing your words. Wonderful!
Such a good video! You sound like you grew up/was born in America. Did you study at an international school in HK?
🩺
I also quit my job as a corporate lawyer at 45. Saved 1.5 million and moved to Spain for good. Best decision. Life is too short.
This was very heart felt to me. I work at outsourcing at a lawfirm 10 yrs. And I literally feel as I loose myself each day. They don't pay living wages and they expect you to do other jobs outside the perview of job description. Its taking everything for me to just say screw it and praying that things change soon.
I hope you left❤
We all have different challenges. My industry changes too much. SO I am rolling my eyes at the AI stuff. Yeah, more unnecessary changes so I have to work on a million "emergency" projects. Also there isn't progression anymore, not only because older people don't retire, but the ethics of older people never retiring when they are financially set, when there are so many younger people who are broke and whose lives are old hold - that is starting to bother me. Especially when said people are stuck in the past
I would say the shade “ice ice baby” NStix brand is closer to the shade “bounce” merit brand, than “bubbly bebe”!
I turned 34 and always held a blue collar job.. i am tired.. sometimes my body hurts , my feet. Never had the opportunity to do or learn a white collar job or office job. never made 100k in my life, all i make its about 50k and cant even afford to have family with that type of salary so i stay single. but im reaching my tiping point now, im exhausted , tired, i all i want now is to finish paying my mortgage , i want to be able to rent it and give me a two year break atleast. i dont know if that smart but i need a reset. Also i dont really enjoy the town where i libe at, its pretty and quite but i feel like a need something different.
If you are a couple there would be 2 incomes. Try not to be hard on yourself. Maybe a change of scenery is needed.
I NEVER comment on videos. But oh boy does this hit so close to home…I just left a career just like yours. My career was thriving but the employer was so toxic. I stuck it out for almost 5 years and for the last two years, it has been the hardest. My advice is if you are even thinking about changing your life direction, DO IT!!! I am now changing directions and starting my own business. Time is the scarcest of resources and it is TIME for me use it wisely!! Loved your video and everything you said! ❤
Thank you.
I think it's great to stick with what works for you.
Thanks for sharing
Im 34 and i have been working in insolvency consulting for close to 7 years. Its an extremely negative environment to be in dealing with assholes, criminals and creditors everyday. I have changed from an outgoing and sporty person with good hair to a gloomy negative fuckface with a receding hairline. I feel like dying every day and cant wait to let everything go
dude, same here. but the hair thing is genetic. has not much to do with having a shitty job besides maybe speeding it up a little because of stress. other than that, hairloss is not the end of the world. especially at our age it gets more normal by the day. forget the hair, change your life for the better, even if that means escaping your current environment. I might do the same - or at least try to reduce the hours a lot to simply have more free time. Good thing is, i have a paid-off condo of my own, so im rent-free.
