So ironic you’re sharing this with us, I’m changing my mindset as well. I have decided that I need to stop spiraling down that hole of negativity. Thank you for the reminders Octavia ❤
Learning selflove, selfcare and setting boundaries really changed my life. People are users and will take advantage as long as you continue to allow it. It feels so good.
I can definitely say whilst you were on your journey you've help me to elevate and I'm pretty sure thousands of other women can say the same thing... keep being a great Individual whose constantly Evolving. Being Human is natural but learning that we can strive to be better at it to improve our lives and others is the ultimate goal.
God is speaking through you on this video. I feel it in your spirit, this is so genuine and real. You're sharing "tips" but you're also speaking to your own personal struggles and triumphs. Love love love it Octavia, keep shining and remember you are helping more people than you will ever know! ❤
Thank you Octavia for this video. I'm still on my journey fighting negative thoughts which are a result of my childhood trauma (I'm even thinking about therapy for help). It's a real struggle but I will not give up! Praying and monitoring myself. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Make more of these videos, please! The background jazz, your voice ... the topics covered, everything is perfect! Truly personal therapy for me. Thank you for the efforts and the great content!! ❤️
You are exquisite. I know we all feel we need improvements on our selves, but you are a good example of what to strive for. I’m so much older than you but you are a good role model for the younger generation.
Try not to try and get rid of negative thoughts completely. That's an impossible task you'll only end up being frustrated. Just see them as passing clouds and distance yourself from them by saying to yourself 'I notice that I'm having...thought' then replace it with a more positive and opposite one. I hope that helps. I'm learning to do it myself
Agreed - I did say in the video that I came to realize that life will always be life and things are gonna always be happening so there’s no need to beat myself up
I’ve watched you since you started your channel and you’ve remained consistently down to earth, sweet, transparent, classy, and elegant. Even with all of the success and growth you remain so true to your essence and it’s just hard to come across such a good person on and offline these days. Your content is awesome but your spirit is what absolutely makes you a star. 🥂🤍
I loved this transparency vlog Octavia! It was all information I already knew but it was a very necessary reminder and I appreciate that. It is also a reminder that you are not the only one who go through difficult mental and emotional up and downs(hope that made sense).
I love this Octavia - you inspire me on several levels - keep growing 😊 loads of blessing from a young Jamaican “just starting the journey” influencer to a veteran in the game
Ms.actavia,to me you are not just an influencer but you are doing the work God has placed you here to do.i am 43 and you have helped me so much that I could cry right now.Thank you and I pray blessings upon you for understanding your assignment and deliver each time.I love you 😍 ❤️ 🙏
I realized that sound is also something I’m putting into my body. I’ve been starting my days with gospel music recently and it has made a difference..for me.
So right about how certain content changes our behaviors. I had to stop watching ALOT of shows on VH-1, bad girls club, RHOP and listening to certain artists.
Everything that she has said is on point, protect your eyes and ears, protect what you watch and what you listen to, it will either poison your effects on yourself and life or it will bring blessings, it’s also important to choose whom you allow in your life.
Heyy Octavia, First and foremost you look absolutely gorgeous in the video 😍👏🏾🙌🏾 Thank you so much for the advice that you gave us, you're like the big sister to all of us 😊😊😊 We appreciate you so much. Sending lots of love 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Great topics overall. As a content creator it is truly a fine line for one to not seek validation from everyone. We are in a space where we want everyone to love what we bring to them because that also reflects in our growth.
Thanks so much for the life check Octavia. You are so special. You make me look back at my younger caribbean girl self. You know what I mean! Also, I got excited about the playlist, but I don't see it.
1st off let me say I absolutely love 😊 your content it's so wholesome and classy ❤️. I can say God 🙏and hard work pays off so much. I have done so much alone from rasing 7 kids alone,also extending my house 🏠 the beginning of the year so my kids and I can be alotttt more comfortable ❣️ this was a huge goal that came to pass. I definitely have alot to be thankful and grateful for and I am ❤️❤️❤️ But the negative thoughts omggggggggggggg even when I'm being praised by others for my accomplishments I still feel not enough 🙏 Anyway I love this video 😊😊😊😊
Great video - I love your in and out of 'patwa' way of making your point. Love that you're serious about becoming your best and striving to diligently keep doing the work. Love that you're sharing your journey and providing useful tips, examples and insight. Keep up the great work. Yes you are inspiring and motivating others ❤️ 👍 😊
Personal growth is a journey that continues and we need to recognize that along way, we will stumble but, we must move forward 🙌🏽🙏🏽 I love this video, it really reminds people that content creators are human and they have their own struggles, just like the rest of us. ❤❤❤❤. As a yardie, I love when your throw in some patois... I do the same thing 😄
I forgot all about Bad Girls!! Yessss it did have me combative! I can't be in nobody cell Lawd LOL every now and then (1-2) times a year I catch myself on Basketball 🏀Wives and I'm like "mm mm, this is why I stopped watching this" be ready to pop off! The moments of peace and sisterhood do not last long there lol
I appreciate this serious. If feels like you’re giving me big sister advice. It has really helped me to work on myself and to mature as a young black woman
The number ONE thing that has helped me is taking responsibility for my own crap. Life changing, seriously. Self awareness and accountability. Omg bad girls club is the most toxic show eveeeeer...but I used to love it 😂...years ago 😊
Girllll OCTAVIAAAAA... Who are youuu. .cuz I swear you're me (I'm also from the Caribbean lol).. wth...when you said your guilty pleasure is reality tv...I couldn't hold back my comment lol, the overthinking, the victim mentality or lack of accountability etc..all of those things are things I've been working hard on ...I love this update Please continue to update us
Hey love! Hahaha me and reality tv are glued lol so I get it but yes these are things I’ve learned through therapy and things that I continue to work on everyday. Thanks for watching ❤️
Love this video so much, you were on point......actually going to use these 5 points. I see your growth. Lots of 💕 and well wishes Octavia💕. My life is lifing right now but I know I will be ok.
Thank you for the tips.❤ It funny how you go into a Jamaican accent and then you go back to speaking in an American accent, I do the same but the only difference is I have a Jamaican to English accent.
Hello Ms. Octavia: Thank you so much for being transparent and providing your five tips on what helped you become a better you 🙌🏽🙏🏽😇🤗👏🏽💪🏽!! I'm so proud of you, my sister in Christ! I am working on my tips that helped me as well. This is so ironic! Do you mind if I tag you in my episode as inspiration? I appreciate it. Have a blessed evening and upcoming weekend 🙌🏽🙏🏽😇🤗!!
Hi Octavia I am a big fan and I also want to say thank u for how listening to you has helped me in my personal life journey I don't know what self-love meant until I listened to you so please I will like to have a chat with you if that's ok with you.
I decide one day I just wanted to be a good human period Very ladylike I love the soft life because I’m a very very setting woman so I wanted to be more softer and I just did it. Of course life be LIFEING but I still love my changes I have made.
I need help in getting started again. I'm in such a different place in life now and trying to recreate what I did before just doesn't work. But I appreciate this video so much.
Thank you Octavia for your light! It's a joy to see🤗
The transparency set in this video 🥰 it's giving "I'm more than an influencer...I'm human, and I have REAL life emotions and struggles" ❤️❤️❤️
I have always love me
I love how you carry yourself with such class, the respect you have for yourself exudes astronomically. Love to see it.
Love this! Thank you ❤️

Love that for you ❤️ good luck you got this
@@OctaviaBJust wondering if I'm missing where you added the playlist link?
Short and sweet. I’m on a 90 day journey to self love and a more intimate relationship with God. I’m excited to see myself and my growth!
Learning selflove, selfcare and setting boundaries really changed my life. People are users and will take advantage as long as you continue to allow it. It feels so good.

Thank you so much! We got this ❤️🥹
Really love the idea of "parenting yourself"! It's def a psych trick to make myself accountable. Thanks Octavia ❤
I'm a middle aged woman and you inspire me. Keep up the good work, young lady.
Me too!
Same!
Same
I second that! I so admire Octavia.
Me too
I learn so much from you. Fifty-seven and you are a role model of mine, Octavia! :-) Growth mindset keeps us young.
I’m 48 and i learn from all different age groups 🤸🏽♂️ ❤
Ditto, did not know there are others here in the over 50:)
Me too! I'm 53 and subscribe to many similar channels, but Octavia, you are by far, my favourite 👌🏾❤️
Yesss, I'm 55yo, still working on alll the things our lady mentioned. Definitely following now. And good for you, keep doing your thing 👍

I highly recommend therapy! Some battles are just too great for us to overcome in our own and sometimes we need help from a professional to guide us
Make more of these videos, please! The background jazz, your voice ... the topics covered, everything is perfect! Truly personal therapy for me. Thank you for the efforts and the great content!! ❤️
More to come! I love these chats with you guys too
You are exquisite. I know we all feel we need improvements on our selves, but you are a good example of what to strive for. I’m so much older than you but you are a good role model for the younger generation.
