Wow i never even knew this had a name. Iv been doing it for years i just assumed it was part of aspergers which has massively contributed to me self isolating for much of my 20s. Thankyou for this video
This tip always does wonders for me. I procrastinate a lot when I am overwhelmed with any big project, so I push myself to just do 1 thing, the simplest, shortest one thing. It gets me out of the procrastination bubble.... PS: Your videos are AMAZING, just watched two of them and instantly subscribed. 🤩

How can I change my habits
Thank you for your comment. I’ve literally just uploaded a video on healthy micro habits a few minutes ago! It’s called ‘10 Micro Habits to Reinvent Yourself Instantly’
Crumbs I wanted to sing for you I wanted to draw you a cloud pretty in the sky I wanted to buy you flowers Take you to dinner But I baked a cookie instead On the first day I wanted to be with you No yesterday, no tomorrow On the first day I pledged myself to you On the first day, forever, for you I wanted to sing for you Buy you flowers, take you to dinner Kiss you everyday anew But the first day went away To the next day and the next - These days did not go away The mornings too early, the paper coffee The boots and the rain and the unheavenly On the first day I knew Now, I don’t know what to do So I baked a cookie for you Not fancy, not pretty Even looks a little silly But it comes from me, all of me For our days and every next
The 2nd one cause the 1st one just pains me (but sometimes i also annotate haha) 😭
goood job my sweet🌷🌷🎀
I’ve been wanting to start a you tube channel for years . I’ve had severe imposter syndrome and this video has helped me so much . Thank you ❤
Loved listening to you! 💞 Thanks for all the useful advice, I'll definately keep it in mind 😁
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! 😘❤️
Love this! 😄
Can u please mention which mic n camera are u using?
I love that you are being authentically yourself!
i appreciate this video so much! i’ve been wanting to start a youtube channel but i’ve been worried about judgement. this video was inspiring in giving me reasons to just do it :) thank you so much! 💗💗
I feel this way too! I'm just starting my own RUclips channel too. I barely have any views, but there's just something about making a video and editing it that is so freeing. It's a way to express myself creatively and share my perspective on something! Go you for keeping at it! And I hope to get as many subscribers as you one day 😀
Congrats on starting your RUclips channel too! Thank you so much for your lovely comment - yes, it really is all about creativity and self-expression. Best of luck on your RUclips Journey - it's going to be a wonderful one 😃
My mom is in her late 60’s she was always a free spirit and a fighter living life by her rules and values and always had the biggest heart it’s been so hard and sad for me to watch her soul dying from the everyday struggles of her life catching up to her and I’m not able to do anything to help, she’s recently been saying she’s scared of change gets anxiety about doing anything outside of her work routine and has depression, she’s always loved reading books like eckhart tolle works she used to have passion for living and now she’s so lost, all I can do is try to not let my life go the same way, times will be hard no matter what we do but we must make the most of what we can while we can so we don’t end up lost and afraid in the end, the past few weeks I’ve been going on my own journey birthed from a similar inspiration, so I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your story with me! I really hope your mother feels better soon and starts to find joy in her life again. At every stage of life, of course our mind and body changes, and it can be a real struggle to adapt! Please remind her to be patient with herself. I hope you're also taking care of your own health and peace. Best of luck on your journey - amazing things are coming your way! ❤
This video came across my recommended page. I've had the dream to write and publish a book for a long time, but for a long time as well I told myself all these excuses to not even start the process. In actuality I was (and am) just scared to be rejected. Writing feels so personal to me, that I imagine that having your book rejected feels like someone stomps on your soul. The fact that you had the courage and perseverance after being rejected 3 times really inspires me! In the past I think I would have looked down on you, upholding my fantasy of writing a book in the future and it immediately being a bestseller. I was holding on to that ego part, because I was and am so scared to actually do it and be rejected. Now that I've started to write, I actually look up to you and see how you are further down the process that I've refused to go on because of my fear and ego. Because this is so touching to me at this stage in my life, I perceive you as very brave and inspiring. You've gained a subscriber! Good luck on your journey! (English is not my native language, so excuse my writing mistakes)
Hi! Thank you so much for sharing your story with me - writing is definitely something deeply personal and it did affect me quite deeply to go through so much rejection over the years, but it also helped me to grow! I guess if you never try, you'll never get anywhere at all, right? I didn't realise this at the time but every rejection was helping me to grow and be redirected towards what was better for me! I wish you the best of luck on your writing journey - I wish you all the success and truly hope it works out incredibly for you (please remember that rejection is usually a part of every single job, and even though it gets us all down, we must pick ourselves back up and keep going because our dreams are worth it! Find comfort in knowing that EVERY single successful person on the planet has faced plenty of rejection, especially when they were starting off). Happy writing!
Thank you!
❤
Can I ask for the name of the study? I would love to read it
Yes, of course! This study occurred in The International Journal of Aging and Human Development. It’s by Newall et al and it’s entitled ‘Regret in Later Life: Exploring Relationships between Regret Frequency, Secondary Interpretive Control Beliefs, and Health in Older Individuals’
I feel this so much.

What habits have helped you to break free from fears about what people say so you can live more authentically?
Love this video! All these habits are really going to help me
Thanks for the suggestions!
Its definitely important to put in time for yourself even if you're WFH! Thanks for remembering and including that part in! 💖
Lol the book stroke😂
That’s so real.
Almost threw my custom personally made slow damage visual novel book remake at a huge spider last night!!!
Bookish folks will UNDERSTAND the need to protect our precious books at all costs 😅 (it honestly gives me horrendous anxiety whenever any of my books are at risk of being damaged. I cannot stand it when I’m travelling with a paperback and it starts curling around the edges 😫😅)
Me too on the book curling! 😢
@@rebekahfunches6876omg it’s truly the worst! Makes me not want to take my books out but I literally HAVE to carry at least one book everywhere I go 😅
i love this so much, thank you for sharing your tips! i've always had a love for stationary/journalling since i was a child but as i've gotten older i've definitely felt blocked around this practice. i'm someone who's been wanting to journal and occasionally i will, but hearing your passion for the practice has me so inspired! i believe you when you say this has changed your life and i think this was a video i needed to see! 💖
Thank you SO much for your lovely comment! It meant so much to read it. I really hope you reconnect with journalling and find peace and joy in it! Sending lots of love & light your way Xxx
Stop being perfectionism and not to overload yourself is really important! Being productive and at the same time don't put too much stress on yourself... I love your make up! You're like glowing. Thanks for the video💜
Yes, indeed, it's so important to not overload yourself! Thank you so much for your lovely words, I really appreciate them! Xxx
Could you work a video separately for each instance, such as one for peer pressure or one for appearance ?
Yes, of course! I'll try to film these videos sometime soon. Thank you for your comment!
