I had no room of my own for years. I always took the living room where i put my bed and paints and my daughter had the only bedroom. This is how we lived for years. I had a room of my own for this last year for the first time since i was 17. Im 37 now. I am being evicted and will stay in a 2bd home with another, who is 45. My daughter now 14 wont have a room of her own at my new place but i must survive. Thankfully she has one at her father's home. Your videos are giving me peace and compassion for my situation. I just found you the morning after my evicrion letter and its helping me to witness you and your friend.
@@AR-mu4zq I just replied to your other comment, Andrea. I wanna thank you so much for sharing your story with me, with us. As I said: it breaks my heart and makes me so angry hearing that a woman who has done the most important and difficult job (raising a child on her own) is being evicted. I really don’t know what to say… it’s hard to wrap my head around that… I just hope you have a support system that you can lean on 🙏 I think more people need to hear and see realities like ours and I think it’s a great idea to share yourself on RUclips when you feel comfortable with that 🍀 I’m rooting for you and your daughter and sending lots of strength and loving energy over to you 💓
Thank you for creating this from the bottom and top of my heart. I'm also an artist, and i did not have a room of my own when i was growing up. I live in the US but we were poor. My dad was an amazing artist too, but never sold any paintings. He passed away last July. I was brought to tears to see Natasha, with her loving smile, but filled with ((hurt?)) and the stress or anxiety i felt from her husband, he reminds me of my Dad. Anyhow, thank you for reminding me that my own body and soul is my home and that we are abundant and that I am grateful. 🌺🌸🌹
Thank you so much for sharing your story with me… this moves me on so many levels… it’s hard to describe 🥹 I‘m so sorry to hear that your dad passed away… I‘m sending lots of warm hugs over to you… 🫂 and I will show your messages to Natasha today… she will be so moved too… Btw: the man you see in the video is my dad. I also almost lost him last year due to a severe heart attack and a stroke. But he recovered a little bit. So it’s my dad that reminds you of yours :) Sending you much much love to the states 💕✨🌈 I‘m honored to have made your acquaintance 🙏 xo Nastja
I've watched every video you have posted on this channel. Each one is deeply moving with its own unique message and rhythm. This one spoke to me even more intensely than I was prepared to process. It could possibly be my favorite production of yours. Thank you for pouring into this recipe, the heart and soul that came together for us here.
Thank you my brother from another mother ❤️😊 your heartfelt words have been supporting and nourishing me here right from the start. And your videos with all your profound and elaborate thoughts are so valuable for me… I can’t thank you enough for that 🙏 your sister from another mister ☺️
I have no room of my own. I live in a 2 bedroom apt and have twin sons. They are young adults in college and living at home so I gave them each a room. I make due with the living room. It is okay. I have done similar to you and created a little space for me and used containers to help me manage my things as well. I’m a plant person too and have a nice patio like yours. I’m in the U.S. I’m subscribing to hear more from you kindred soul ❤
So many parallels :) … I also took the living room, although it’s still my son’s favorite room to roam 😊 And having a patio is such a bliss, right? It is a little recreation place 🌸 I live in Germany. Here it is also difficult to find a place to live, let alone one that is affordable. I know that in the US you have to pay much more for your kids education.. you‘re sons are very lucky to have you as mom 🍀❤️ And I‘m so happy to meet you 🙏 thank you (Zoey?) for reaching out and sharing your story with me 🫂
I’m happy to meet you too and it’s Christy, Zoey is my kitty. Yes, school, it is insanely overpriced here. Sadly most everything is very expensive here. I do love to have my patio. I live in North Carolina so I can grow lots of different veggies out there. It’s like a little extra room. I sit out there and read sometimes. That is so sweet of your parents to take in the Ukrainian family. I forgot to say that. What a wonderful thing to do ❤. God bless you and your family. Will be watching from the You Tube.
@@ChristysChannelYall so nice to meet you Christy 😊 I have some friends in the states, so I‘m familiar with these issues.. especially regarding health care.. it’s just not fair towards people who are confronted with any kind of disadvantages / barriers.. I‘ll show your comment to my mom. It will make her happy ❤️ sending warm hugs to you 🫂🌈💕
Hi Nastja, So schön dich wieder zu sehen! Ich finde das Thema des eigenen Raumes sehr wichtig und schön deine Gedanken dazu zu hören, vor allem der Punkt sich seine inneren und äußeren eigenen Räume zu erschaffen. Ich bin ja auch ein DDR Kind und für meine Eltern und meine Großeltern war es auch normal sich mit mehreren Geschwistern ein Zimmer zu teilen. Und ich denke je nach Person und Typ hat das alles sein für und wider. Ich bin eher auch jemand der seinen eigenen Space braucht wo ich auch allein mit mir sein kann. Bevor ich nach 10Jahren Kinder aufziehen endlich wieder meinen eigenen Raum hatte war mein Tagebuch mein eigener Raum für mich. Und ich kann das soooo gut verstehen wie es ist wenn überall und immer die Dinge vom Kind verstreut sind. Man alles was einem lieb und teuer ist irgendwie sichern muß usw. Ich hatte damals nach 10 Jahren Kinder aufziehen, Haushalt, und in unserer Firma arbeiten einen burn out. Ich habe mich selbst nicht mehr gespürt, nur noch funktioniert. Dann habe ich durchgesetzt dass die Kinder in ein Zimmer kommen und wir Erwachsenen statt Schlaf und Wohnzimmer jeder sein eigenes Zimmer hat. Das war meine Rettung (auch für meine Exman) und meine Freunde haben mich beneidet denn vielen ging es ähnlich: die Sehnsucht nach eigenem Raum, seiner eigenen Ordnung dem eigenen Takt, dem eigenen Geschmack usw. Und ich kann es gut verstehen dass es jetzt noch schwerer sein muss bei dir falls dein Expartner noch dort wohnt und du auch noch auf Wohnungssuche gehen musst… I hear you! Noch dazu bei der Wohnungsmarkt Lage… Aber ich bin so froh dass du deine inneren Räume hast und wenn sich die äußere Lage geregelt hat kannst du sicher wieder mehr eigenen Raum haben. Ich wünsche mir das so sehr für dich! Ich bin gerade dabei für mein Mai Video zu schreiben und hab schon ein wenig gefilmt, es macht wieder Spaß😄! Eine herzliche Umarmung an dich🤗! Bis bald! Indu
Hallo liebe Indu 🤗 wie schön von dir hören / zu lesen 😊 ich musste auch öfter an dich denken bei dem Thema und wusste, dass du dich damit gut identifizieren kannst.. die Lösung, von der du erzählst streben wir auch an. Aber momentan ist alles so ungewiss. Ich versuche einfach meinen Kopf über Wasser zu halten und mir meine kleinen Räume zu sichern. Dass du bei all der Belastung einen burn out bekommen hast, ist nicht verwunderlich. Das war alles einfach viel zu viel auf einmal… ich freue mich so, dass du die Freude am Kreativsein wiedergekehrt ist… und ich freue mich schon riesig auf dein neues Video 😍 Und das mit dem Tagebuch spricht mir so aus der Seele. Das ist im Prinzip dieser Kanal für mich geworden… schicke dir ganz viele liebe Umarmungen 😘❤️🫂🌈 Nastja
Danke für deine Antwort! Ja das mit dem Burnout ist jetzt schon 6/7 Jahre her. Und seit dem habe ich mein Zimmer so dass es jetzt wenigstens Inder Hinsicht schon leichter war mit dem Rückzugsort. Naja am 1.7. wird er eine Wohnung haben… das ist alles immernoch so surreal… ein neues, normal mit dem alten normal zu ersetzen braucht einfach nur Zeit, Heilung braucht Zeit. Ich bewundere deine tolle Ausrüstung, und deine Kreativität! Und freue Mich auch auf dein nächstes Video! 🎨💫👊🌻
@@Indudevidasi ich fühle da so mit dir… mein Freund (wir sind immer noch befreundet und ich mag den Begriff Ex irgendwie nicht :) sucht auch nach WG Zimmern im Moment. Wenn es dann soweit ist, muss ich vermutlich noch Mitbewohner aufnehmen oder selbst in etwas Günstigeres ziehen. Sonst können wir das nicht stemmen… Es ist echt alles nicht so ohne… Ich bin froh, dass du dein burn out überwunden hast und dich jetzt so umfassend in das Thema Heilung vertiefst… das braucht die Welt so sehr liebe Indu… 🌈🌱
I turned to be sad hearing this be because it reflects my inner thoughts about having space for my writing but it's ok don't be sad my dear friend, all of us in this tough world we are living the most difficulties that a family could support, but I have faith in Jesus that everything we pray for or even we want it, it will be provided by time, Jesus has many good plans for us and he will reward us some day. I am an author and I do struggling a lot finding balance in my hustle and hustle life, working as a medical secretary full time job, teaching my teen-age daughter, cooking, cleaning, focusing on my job because I am living from it put me in the burnout but everyday and night I pray deeply to Jesus to save me and to give my soul what she wants, I don't know I know he's hearing me and he will to you. God bless you and your family and your dearest Natasha, I saw a lot of grief in her eyes and I do appreciate her, she's living her moments at least, I know war destroy anything but Lord Jesus will reconstruct his own world in his own way. ❤
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your story with me 🙏 I admire your faith and your commitment to writing and towards your family ❤️ I also hold on to the values of Jesus.. even though I’m not religious. Thank you for your compassion… also towards Natasha… this means a lot 🙏💕 wishing you all the best 🍀✨🫂
I feel your pain. I'm privileged too because I have a roof over my head, when so many people in LA are homeless. But I live in a 135 square foot tiny house with a patio. I have a huge storage trunk outside that keeps all of my art supplies. I draw outside just fine, but when it comes to painting, I squeeze a portable table, a chair and my art supplies inside the remaining floor space and get to work. Containers are a must in tiny living.
For outsiders this always sounds so dreamy… but it actually isn’t that easy to live in a tiny house.. especially as a painter… I’m happy to hear that you still manage to make space for your creativity ❤️
I really felt myself seen by the "no room of my own" feeling. I understand, as you said, that it is a privilege to be able to have had a room of my own many times, to know what that feels like. Watching many different cultures living together, I see the beauty of family and community in close-ness and how normal it is for humans to be together and share, really share, life! Looking at my own unique being, I also understand all the ways in which I can bring so much more love, joy and compassion to the world when I honor my own need for alone-time. I understand that I am here to celebrate also my uniqueness. Not to judge my own desires and needs, but to honor them while cultivating gratitude in any life situation. I deeply feel your heart shining through your video, your softness and your grace. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us! :)
It makes me so happy and grateful to know that my video had resonated with you… ❤️ and your perspective and words are very precious… you are totally right about the beauty that lies in living together.. as long as we don’t forget to make space for our needs and creativity. I think lots of people (especially mothers) tend to forget that. It’s good to remind ourselves 😊 I‘m glad you are are valuing your needs and hold room for them. And I am grateful for your heartwarming words… and that you shared parts of your story with me 🙏 sending you warm hugs 🫂🕊️✨💕🌈 Nastja
… 🥹I am so happy it resonated with you… ❤️ thank you so much for letting me know… for reaching out to me… and making me feel connected. This means a lot ✨💖✨
Deine Videos sind so toll! Richtige Seelenstreichler! Ich bin auch 41, getrennt von meinen Mann, wir leben zusammen mit unserer Tochter. Wir reisen seit einigen Jahren und da hab ich auch nicht wirklich Platz für mich, aber ich erschaffe mir überall eine Ecke, die nur meine ist. Und ich hatte es auch vollkommen verloren kreative Dinge nur für mich zu machen. Seit ein paar Jahren gebe ich mir wieder Mühe dafür extra Räume zu schaffen. Leider fällt das immer wieder doomscrolling zum Opfer, wenn ich mich zu ausgelaugt fühle. Danke für die wunderbaren Denkanstöße 🙏! Ich schicke dir eine große Umarmung zurück! 🫂✨💕
Ich freue mich immer so über deine Kommentare 🤗💕 sie sind auch Seelenstreichler für mich ✨ und es hört sich so an als würden wir ein ganz ähnliches Leben leben (abgesehen davon, dass wir nicht reisen)… und ja… das mit dem Doomscrolling kenne ich so gut 🙈 ich schaffe es leider auch nicht immer mich davor zu schützen.. um ehrlich zu sein. Vielleicht sollte ich mal ein Video dazu machen 😅 fühl dich ganz lieb umarmt 🤗🌻🌈💕
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby Awww 🥹! Danke für deine Antwort 🫂! Ja, unsere Leben scheinen sich wirklich ähnlich zu sein. Das mit dem Doomscrolling ist schon arg. Aber bei mir ist es meist so, wenn ich emotional ausgelaugt und frustriert bin, dann kann ich mich nicht aufraffen was zu machen, was mir gut tun würde. Obwohl ich weiß, dass das Scrollen mir im Ende nichts bringt, außer mich oft noch mehr zu stressen... Fast wie ne Droge... Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn du darüber ein Video machen würdest! Aber ich schaue eh alles an was du hochlädst 😁☺️! Wünsche dir einen schönen Sonntag! 🫂💕✨
@@_N.i.n.a. ich bin da so bei dir… ich habe letztens gehört, dass es uns ein Gefühl der Sicherheit verschafft Dinge zu machen, die uns nicht gut tun. Dass der Gedanke uns etwas„Gutes“ zu tun zu innerer Unruhe führt, weil wir uns aus unserer Komfortzone bewegen… und das Ganze is wirklich wie eine Droge, weil es unser Dopaminsystem destabilisiert. Ich nutze kein Social Media mehr, außer yt. Aber da ich jetzt hier selbst creator bin, fühle ich mich auch oft zum doomscrolling verleitet. Ich werde auf jeden Fall Mal Video dazu machen :) und ich bin dir so dankbar, dass du meine Videos schaust ❤️ das unterstützt mich sehr 🤗 ich wünsche dir auch einen wunderschönen Pfingstmontag .. der sich in der Tat wie ein Sonntag anfühlt 😅☀️🌈
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby 🙈klar, ist ja schon Montag 😁. Auf jeden Fall schaue ich deine Videos, die sind einfach so wunderbar 🫶! So ein interessanter Gedanke, dass es uns unsicher macht, wenn wir Dinge tun, die uns eigentlich gut tun würden. Ich finde ja auch, dass es häufig so ist, dass die langfristig eher ungünstig Sachen kurzfristig, schnelle Erleichterung bringen (wie doomscrollen, auf dem Sofa versauern, aber auch Drogen) und, dass was uns langfristig gut täte, erstmal mit einer Überwindung anfängt und meist auch ein wenig auf erste positive Ergebnisse warten lässt, wie Sport oder selber kochen usw.
@@_N.i.n.a. ich finde deshalb auch, dass sanfte Disziplin eine Form der Selbstliebe ist. Aber ich krieg das leider auch nicht immer hin 😞 manchmal erlaube ich mir einfach für eine Zeit bewusst was Ungesundes zu tun.. versuche dann meine Gefühle wahrzunehmen.. meistens ist das innerer Unruhe.. und dann versuche ich wenigsten für 5 Minuten etwas zu machen, dass mir gut tun. Das setzt die Hürde nicht so hoch.. und meistens verlängert es sich dann auch :) gleich versuche ich noch laufen zu gehen. Aber gerade fühle ich mich einfach nur groggy 🥴 hoffe du hast einen schönen freien Tag heute! ☀️
Hi Natasha ❤ i loved this video... it was a great reminder that we lose a lot of ourselves when we have children but we can become a container for ourselves again. You put it very well. Thatnk you for sharing this story. I think it is AMAZING what your parents are doing 🌼🌼🌼
Thank you so much Tiffany 💕🙏 what my parents are doing is amazing.. and also what Natasha and her husband do for them is such a blessing. We already talked about our creativity and the importance of making room for it again. That’s also why I love your channel 😊 wish I would be a little bit more gifted with knitting 🙈😅 I admire it so much!
This is finally the video I found related..I have been struggling searching for some tips to be productive and stuff but never found anyone talks about the struggle of not having a space ..I live with my 5 sisters in a two rooms house..I have no room ..and no place to sleep ..I sleep on the couch in the living room..but I don't want to blame my circumstances...I know I need to do something..and it's so freaking hard .. sometimes I just want to give up ..but this video reminded me that I have things and I should be grateful..thank you..💖💖
I'm so sorry for the late reply! for some reason yt labled your comment as inappropriate and I couldn't see it 😯 I wanna thank you so much for sharing your story. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to stay positive and motivated with so many challenges around you, especially with so little space and privacy. It takes a lot of courage to keep pushing through, even when things feel overwhelming. Please know that your strength and resilience are truly inspiring, and your comment touched me deeply. I hope you find little moments of peace and joy even in tough times. I’m rooting for you and sending you lots of love and encouragement. You’ve got this, and you’re not alone. ❤️ love, Nastja
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby you are so sweet and nice thank you so much 💖💖 you definitely made my day ...I will remember your words every time I feel overwhelmed.. thanks again 💖
oh sweetie... I'm so happy about your reply 🤗💗 for some weird reason your it was hidden again from me... I hope everything is a bit easier for you now... sending you lots of love and warmth into the xmas / holiday season ... 🎄🌟
It seems that the ample internal space and wealth of emotions more than makes up for any external constraints.. and is actually enough to benefit other people as well.. Take care, Nastja 🙏😊
Sometimes yt works in mysterious ways… 😊 and I‘m really glad my video got recommended to you ❤️ thank you for reaching out to me and for letting me know that I‘m on the right path 🕊️ sending warm hugs from Germany to beautiful Brazil 🫂
That‘s very true… 😊 thank you for saying that ❤️ I also think it is amazing what mothers are capable of and it is not valued enough by society. Like care giving in general… I was referring more to my own needs and individual ways of expression..„Creativity“ means something different for everyone. For me it’s about the energy we give. And I admire all people who do that through care giving. Like my best friend f.ex. :)
Beautiful video. I subscribed to see more of you and to support your channel so you can have soon your own space to create again. What your parents did for Natasha is a huge blessing not only to her but also to them. They are amazing. Much love from another artist from Greece who has also been through the hard situation of not creating for a long time to just survive. ❤
Your comment touched me in an unexpected way… what you said is so true: we are so blessed to have Natasha and her husband with us. I almost lost both of my parents last year - and I don’t know what I would have done without Natasha and Slava. So you hit the nail on the head… Olga (? :) 🥹💕 thank you so much for sending me these warm words of encouragement… this means so much… especially knowing that you have been through similar struggles… this makes me really feel connected.. and it is inspiring for me to know that you got through your hardships and are able to thrive and create again… 🌱 I’m sending you lots of love to Greece… so happy to be connected to you 🫂❤️ Nastja
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby I am also very happy to be connected with you dear Nastja! (yes, my name is Olga 😊). I am so glad you felt my compassion. We are all going through similar struggles in life I think, so being open about them is only helpful to us all. Especially when we can relate, is almost therapeutic. Can’t wait to watch more of you! 💕
@@olgamoraiti thank you so much Olga… this just warms my heart… 🥹❤️ you put it into words so well. And I am so grateful to have such a compassionate fellow human and creative taking the time to watch my videos and reach out to me… makes all the efforts and self-doubts worth while 😊 🌱 I hope your family is well, too… these are very real struggles.. to take care of your loved ones.. I‘m learning more and more to appreciate each moment I have still left with them.. it’s fragile.. but I‘m grateful.. sending you lots of warm hugs 🫂💕🪷
… 🥹 wow… thank you so much Masha (?) (that was the name of my mothers mother:) thank you for reaching out to me… it really means a lot ❤️ wishing you all the best, too 🌈🤗
I am so happy my video could provide you some comfort for you… ❤️ ja.. wir wissen nie wie das Leben spielt … die Hauptsache ist in meinen Augen, dass wir es weiterhin schaffen dankbar zu sein für das was wir haben 🌱🙏 ich wünsche dir alles Liebe und Gute und schicke dir eine sonnige Umarmung ☀️🌈 ❤️
Thank you for the advice 🙏 the problem is that he isn’t able to let them go, especially the 3D art.. He remembers everything and gets very heartbroken when something disappears. But maybe making photos can help him, too… I will try it out 💜
Thank you for all the inspiring thoughts you share in your videos, each one is magic 💞 I've been revisiting/making time for making lately as I get to my late 30s, unpacking and unlearning and looking at things from within rather than outside, so thank you for sharing and giving me more things to think about. You also got me looking up Fluxus again and going down a rabbit hole!
Awww this makes me so happy Marie 😄 did I talk about Fluxus here? Because I was definitely thinking a lot about it lately… maybe you have read my mind 🌱 it is such a great concept.. and I would even say philosophy… it helps me a lot right now.. thank your so much for sharing your thoughts with me… this is inspiring and reassuring for me at the same time… you said it so beautifully.. looking at things from within rather than from outside… we tend to forget that sometimes… your comment really gave me such a beautiful little boost of energy this morning ☀️ thank you 🙏 sending you lots of hugs 🫂🌸🌈 Nastja
If you want to Take holidays in France, I invite you With your son ,I live in a big house on my own ,about two hours or 3 hours from Paris,you come for one week if you want ,big Kiss from Isabelle Alouna Ps There i s no garden ,but the wood is not far away❤

I really felt myself seen by the "no room of my own" feeling.
I understand, as you said, that it is a privilege to be able to have had a room of my own many times, to know what that feels like.
Watching many different cultures living together, I see the beauty of family and community in close-ness and how normal it is for humans to be together and share, really share, life! Looking at my own unique being, I also understand all the ways in which I can bring so much more love, joy and compassion to the world when I honor my own need for alone-time. I understand that I am here to celebrate also my uniqueness. Not to judge my own desires and needs, but to honor them while cultivating gratitude in any life situation.
I deeply feel your heart shining through your video, your softness and your grace.
Thank you for sharing your creativity with us! :)
It makes me so happy and grateful to know that my video had resonated with you… ❤️ and your perspective and words are very precious… you are totally right about the beauty that lies in living together.. as long as we don’t forget to make space for our needs and creativity. I think lots of people (especially mothers) tend to forget that. It’s good to remind ourselves 😊 I‘m glad you are are valuing your needs and hold room for them. And I am grateful for your heartwarming words… and that you shared parts of your story with me 🙏 sending you warm hugs 🫂🕊️✨💕🌈 Nastja
Such beauty! This resonates so much for me and I am so comforted and inspired by your presence! Thank you for being there and shining bright 💫
… 🥹I am so happy it resonated with you… ❤️ thank you so much for letting me know… for reaching out to me… and making me feel connected. This means a lot ✨💖✨
Deine Videos sind so toll! Richtige Seelenstreichler! Ich bin auch 41, getrennt von meinen Mann, wir leben zusammen mit unserer Tochter.
Wir reisen seit einigen Jahren und da hab ich auch nicht wirklich Platz für mich, aber ich erschaffe mir überall eine Ecke, die nur meine ist. Und ich hatte es auch vollkommen verloren kreative Dinge nur für mich zu machen. Seit ein paar Jahren gebe ich mir wieder Mühe dafür extra Räume zu schaffen. Leider fällt das immer wieder doomscrolling zum Opfer, wenn ich mich zu ausgelaugt fühle.
Danke für die wunderbaren Denkanstöße 🙏!
Ich schicke dir eine große Umarmung zurück! 🫂✨💕
Ich freue mich immer so über deine Kommentare 🤗💕 sie sind auch Seelenstreichler für mich ✨ und es hört sich so an als würden wir ein ganz ähnliches Leben leben (abgesehen davon, dass wir nicht reisen)… und ja… das mit dem Doomscrolling kenne ich so gut 🙈 ich schaffe es leider auch nicht immer mich davor zu schützen.. um ehrlich zu sein. Vielleicht sollte ich mal ein Video dazu machen 😅 fühl dich ganz lieb umarmt 🤗🌻🌈💕
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby Awww 🥹! Danke für deine Antwort 🫂!
Ja, unsere Leben scheinen sich wirklich ähnlich zu sein.
Das mit dem Doomscrolling ist schon arg. Aber bei mir ist es meist so, wenn ich emotional ausgelaugt und frustriert bin, dann kann ich mich nicht aufraffen was zu machen, was mir gut tun würde. Obwohl ich weiß, dass das Scrollen mir im Ende nichts bringt, außer mich oft noch mehr zu stressen... Fast wie ne Droge...
Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn du darüber ein Video machen würdest! Aber ich schaue eh alles an was du hochlädst 😁☺️!
Wünsche dir einen schönen Sonntag! 🫂💕✨
@@_N.i.n.a. ich bin da so bei dir… ich habe letztens gehört, dass es uns ein Gefühl der Sicherheit verschafft Dinge zu machen, die uns nicht gut tun. Dass der Gedanke uns etwas„Gutes“ zu tun zu innerer Unruhe führt, weil wir uns aus unserer Komfortzone bewegen… und das Ganze is wirklich wie eine Droge, weil es unser Dopaminsystem destabilisiert. Ich nutze kein Social Media mehr, außer yt. Aber da ich jetzt hier selbst creator bin, fühle ich mich auch oft zum doomscrolling verleitet. Ich werde auf jeden Fall Mal Video dazu machen :) und ich bin dir so dankbar, dass du meine Videos schaust ❤️ das unterstützt mich sehr 🤗 ich wünsche dir auch einen wunderschönen Pfingstmontag .. der sich in der Tat wie ein Sonntag anfühlt 😅☀️🌈
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby 🙈klar, ist ja schon Montag 😁.
Auf jeden Fall schaue ich deine Videos, die sind einfach so wunderbar 🫶!
So ein interessanter Gedanke, dass es uns unsicher macht, wenn wir Dinge tun, die uns eigentlich gut tun würden.
Ich finde ja auch, dass es häufig so ist, dass die langfristig eher ungünstig Sachen kurzfristig, schnelle Erleichterung bringen (wie doomscrollen, auf dem Sofa versauern, aber auch Drogen) und, dass was uns langfristig gut täte, erstmal mit einer Überwindung anfängt und meist auch ein wenig auf erste positive Ergebnisse warten lässt, wie Sport oder selber kochen usw.
@@_N.i.n.a. ich finde deshalb auch, dass sanfte Disziplin eine Form der Selbstliebe ist. Aber ich krieg das leider auch nicht immer hin 😞 manchmal erlaube ich mir einfach für eine Zeit bewusst was Ungesundes zu tun.. versuche dann meine Gefühle wahrzunehmen.. meistens ist das innerer Unruhe.. und dann versuche ich wenigsten für 5 Minuten etwas zu machen, dass mir gut tun. Das setzt die Hürde nicht so hoch.. und meistens verlängert es sich dann auch :) gleich versuche ich noch laufen zu gehen. Aber gerade fühle ich mich einfach nur groggy 🥴 hoffe du hast einen schönen freien Tag heute! ☀️
A beautiful video, thanks to you and Natasha for sharing your stories. Sending best wishes and love from Australia 💛💛
Thank you so much Krissy 🙏🤗💕 I just send a screenshot of your message to Natasha 🕊️ lots of hugs from Germany to Australia 🫂🌈🌻
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby Thank you. I’m grateful I just found your channel, going to watch your other video’s 😊💛
@@krissy2321 your so sweet ❤️ that’s a big support for me indeed 😊 thank you Krissy 🙏💕
Hi Natasha ❤ i loved this video... it was a great reminder that we lose a lot of ourselves when we have children but we can become a container for ourselves again. You put it very well. Thatnk you for sharing this story. I think it is AMAZING what your parents are doing 🌼🌼🌼
Thank you so much Tiffany 💕🙏 what my parents are doing is amazing.. and also what Natasha and her husband do for them is such a blessing. We already talked about our creativity and the importance of making room for it again. That’s also why I love your channel 😊 wish I would be a little bit more gifted with knitting 🙈😅 I admire it so much!
I always look forward to your videos. You uplift me and remind to go deep inside and be grateful for what I have. hugs
Your comment just uplifted me… 🥹 this means a lot ❤️ thank you so much for letting me know that I‘m not alone with me thoughts 🙏
This video felt like a breath of fresh air and perspective… thank you ❤
This makes me so happy ☀️ thank you so much 🙏💕😊
This is finally the video I found related..I have been struggling searching for some tips to be productive and stuff but never found anyone talks about the struggle of not having a space ..I live with my 5 sisters in a two rooms house..I have no room ..and no place to sleep ..I sleep on the couch in the living room..but I don't want to blame my circumstances...I know I need to do something..and it's so freaking hard .. sometimes I just want to give up ..but this video reminded me that I have things and I should be grateful..thank you..💖💖
I'm so sorry for the late reply! for some reason yt labled your comment as inappropriate and I couldn't see it 😯 I wanna thank you so much for sharing your story. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to stay positive and motivated with so many challenges around you, especially with so little space and privacy. It takes a lot of courage to keep pushing through, even when things feel overwhelming. Please know that your strength and resilience are truly inspiring, and your comment touched me deeply. I hope you find little moments of peace and joy even in tough times. I’m rooting for you and sending you lots of love and encouragement. You’ve got this, and you’re not alone. ❤️ love, Nastja
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby you are so sweet and nice thank you so much 💖💖 you definitely made my day ...I will remember your words every time I feel overwhelmed.. thanks again 💖
oh sweetie... I'm so happy about your reply 🤗💗 for some weird reason your it was hidden again from me... I hope everything is a bit easier for you now... sending you lots of love and warmth into the xmas / holiday season ... 🎄🌟
thank you for making this vlog, i needed to hear this.
Thank YOU for reaching out to me in your comments… so glad that you are here… 🤗❤️🫂
It seems that the ample internal space and wealth of emotions more than makes up for any external constraints.. and is actually enough to benefit other people as well.. Take care, Nastja 🙏😊
you’re perspective is always so valuable for me… And your words move me deeply. Always. I’m grateful for our friendship. Thank you Antonis ❤️🫂
love natashas words of wisdom
I just showed her your comment … and it brought such a cute smile on her face 🥰🙏
I understand completely.. goodluck for learning and evolving.. love this video ❤
Thank you for taking the time to reach out to me ❤️ so glad you could relate 😊🙏🌈
RUclips recommended your video to me and I didn't imagine I would find such good and in-depth content.
Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Brazil.🤍
Sometimes yt works in mysterious ways… 😊 and I‘m really glad my video got recommended to you ❤️ thank you for reaching out to me and for letting me know that I‘m on the right path 🕊️ sending warm hugs from Germany to beautiful Brazil 🫂
no creativity?!? but you created a whole new human being!! what can be more?
That‘s very true… 😊 thank you for saying that ❤️ I also think it is amazing what mothers are capable of and it is not valued enough by society. Like care giving in general…
I was referring more to my own needs and individual ways of expression..„Creativity“ means something different for everyone. For me it’s about the energy we give. And I admire all people who do that through care giving. Like my best friend f.ex. :)
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby 😍
Beautiful video. I subscribed to see more of you and to support your channel so you can have soon your own space to create again. What your parents did for Natasha is a huge blessing not only to her but also to them. They are amazing. Much love from another artist from Greece who has also been through the hard situation of not creating for a long time to just survive. ❤
Your comment touched me in an unexpected way… what you said is so true: we are so blessed to have Natasha and her husband with us. I almost lost both of my parents last year - and I don’t know what I would have done without Natasha and Slava. So you hit the nail on the head… Olga (? :) 🥹💕 thank you so much for sending me these warm words of encouragement… this means so much… especially knowing that you have been through similar struggles… this makes me really feel connected.. and it is inspiring for me to know that you got through your hardships and are able to thrive and create again… 🌱 I’m sending you lots of love to Greece… so happy to be connected to you 🫂❤️ Nastja
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby I am also very happy to be connected with you dear Nastja! (yes, my name is Olga 😊). I am so glad you felt my compassion. We are all going through similar struggles in life I think, so being open about them is only helpful to us all. Especially when we can relate, is almost therapeutic. Can’t wait to watch more of you! 💕
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby I hope your parents are doing better now. I feel you in this too ❤️
@@olgamoraiti thank you so much Olga… this just warms my heart… 🥹❤️ you put it into words so well. And I am so grateful to have such a compassionate fellow human and creative taking the time to watch my videos and reach out to me… makes all the efforts and self-doubts worth while 😊 🌱 I hope your family is well, too… these are very real struggles.. to take care of your loved ones.. I‘m learning more and more to appreciate each moment I have still left with them.. it’s fragile.. but I‘m grateful.. sending you lots of warm hugs 🫂💕🪷
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby ♥️♥️♥️
such an inspiring video thank you for sharing! also natasha is so lovely 🫶🏼
I’m always so happy to read your comments 🥰 thank you for saying that… I will tell Natasha 💕 she is so lovely indeed ✨
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby yayyy so glad 🥰
I am so happy I stumbled across your channel.
You are so strong, beautiful and inspiring. I wish you all the best
… 🥹 wow… thank you so much Masha (?) (that was the name of my mothers mother:) thank you for reaching out to me… it really means a lot ❤️ wishing you all the best, too 🌈🤗
Thank you for that calming video. I am also in a situation right now where I am thinking about moving into a smaller space and this helps me a lot.
I am so happy my video could provide you some comfort for you… ❤️ ja.. wir wissen nie wie das Leben spielt … die Hauptsache ist in meinen Augen, dass wir es weiterhin schaffen dankbar zu sein für das was wir haben 🌱🙏 ich wünsche dir alles Liebe und Gute und schicke dir eine sonnige Umarmung ☀️🌈 ❤️
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby Danke vielmals! Ja, das finde ich auch sehr wichtig. :D Am Ende wird alles gut! Ich sende dir eine liebe Umarmung zurück.
❤

Take photos of your sons art to keep forever, thank them and gradually start to let them go 🙏
Thank you for the advice 🙏 the problem is that he isn’t able to let them go, especially the 3D art.. He remembers everything and gets very heartbroken when something disappears. But maybe making photos can help him, too… I will try it out 💜
Thank you for all the inspiring thoughts you share in your videos, each one is magic 💞 I've been revisiting/making time for making lately as I get to my late 30s, unpacking and unlearning and looking at things from within rather than outside, so thank you for sharing and giving me more things to think about. You also got me looking up Fluxus again and going down a rabbit hole!
Awww this makes me so happy Marie 😄 did I talk about Fluxus here? Because I was definitely thinking a lot about it lately… maybe you have read my mind 🌱 it is such a great concept.. and I would even say philosophy… it helps me a lot right now..
thank your so much for sharing your thoughts with me… this is inspiring and reassuring for me at the same time… you said it so beautifully.. looking at things from within rather than from outside… we tend to forget that sometimes… your comment really gave me such a beautiful little boost of energy this morning ☀️ thank you 🙏 sending you lots of hugs 🫂🌸🌈 Nastja
