I was just talking about a similar topic with a friend today. how society has become so "instant" and every thing has to be perfect all the time. When in real life there are seasons. Of joy, sorrow, or just mondane life. And we should accept it and cherris it. To not push ourselfs all the time and then feeling so diaspointed because we feel that we failed. To give yourself grace and allow any feeling that you feel. Acknowladge it and know it will change and pass.
I do find that society puts too much pressure on us to be better, it’s awful. This is a wonderful video and thank you for sharing this as I needed to hear something like this. 🙂
I always think it’s kinda interesting: Sometimes solving the "problem" (e.g. trying to be some kind of person to be happier) can create the problem (create lots of pressure and self doubt)
Thank you for the wonderful video. you know in the ancient Toltec writing, everything is perfect already just like we are, humans, other animals, plants etc. are already perfect.
Very good point! Before social media telling me to be the best version of myself, I actually did things that I wanted to do and became good at them because I wasn’t constantly trying to be good at EVERYTHING.
It s a easy to think it s a new problem but I m older and I know especially my mother strugled a lot of social pressure not people from another continent but family neighbours, maybe it s being human to compare try to be better and also putting others down ... being just content is a verry hard task
I loved your comments on revisiting old goals to make sure they are still something you want. I am such a creature of habit and a do-er...and I often continue working on something or doing something because I (at one time) decided to make it a goal. I need to ask: What am I wanting to be committed to now...at this time in my life and at this moment?
Can i ask what your skincare routine is? My skin has been breaking out again, and im overwhelmed on what to use... I want to try to be mindful but minimise the number of products. im too focused on anti ageing right now. This society tires me out. I need a mentor or rewiring in my brain, lol.
I can't really tell you anything useful unfortunately. I only wash my face with water and sometimes I have some small pimples. But I am lucky to not have any further problems so I also don't have any solutions. But I hope you find a good routine and good products soon!
If it helps-my friend is a farmacists-she used to work in cosmetics. (High up) and she told me there is no antiageing that works. It is all bullshit. I use rosewater to clean my face in the morning. Then spf. At night I wash my face with neutral soap and use jojoba oil. That is it. You may want to try different oils to find one that is best for you. But dont spent money on antiage.

Jealous of the buzzed head and sweater style -- it's too hot here! I really enjoyed just chilling and listening to you. My wise friend (ish...) !
