About Me 👩🏽
Hi, I'm Akta :) I'm trying to find more meaning in my relationships, work, and life in general, because I think there's more to it than what society tells us. I try to approach things in a less overwhelming way, because I think there's already so much pressure on us from society.

personal development, self help, self improvement, self-actualization
maybe it's just me but at some point you start hearing the same self help advice and it just seems like self help is just common sense, eat healty, exercise, minimize distractions ect. plus it's hard to trust people who earn millions on other peoples insecuritys and problems. sometimes the best you can do is to take a step back and just live your life without other people telling you how to live and who to be.
You’re so right
Forreal its way toooooo repetitive now theres barely an original ideas 😭
Only those truly living them and facing them will have a real perspective of the struggle you battle with. I think that's why I'm drawn to others who show similar signs to what it is I'm going through. But, self-development is really a broad spectrum and you can easily get consumed in content not relevant to your own life, cause it sounds good I guess... not actually dealing with the root issue.
I feel that self improvement has changed within a competition with ourselves as opposed to the building for a healthy mindset
This is sooo true!
I think people mistake the consumption of self help as a productive thing by itself and use it to procrastinate on taking any real action. People generally know what they need to do. I find reading great fiction and history is often like holding up a mirror to yourself anyway, and a lot more interesting in the process.
I’ve been loving fiction books for the past year!!
Self improvement is a coping mechanism for people who feel (and maybe are) left behind in some aspects of life. Be it advancing in a career or simply finding a partner. Those are nowadays very competitive fields and the bitter truth is that not all of us will be able to fulfill their dreams, so self improvement comes into play in order to keep the hope alive.
@@seyfert8820 We are no magical creatures man. In the end we all are just biological organisms. Happiness and living consciously are very vague concepts. In the end we pursue very similar goals to fulfill our biological needs. Thats why it's so competitive. Everything else is just cope and delusion.
We don't have to improve ourselves in my view. We just have to discover who we truly are ❤
I don't think the answers are to be found online. Reading books is great but the real answers are within us. Sometimes we have to cut the noise, spend some time alone, in nature and simply listen 👂 To our own intuition ❤

What helped me personally was therapy (that focused on Inner Child work). One of the most important books I read was: You're The One You've Been Waiting For - highly recommend it.
Always a pleasure to listen to you. Beautiful voice. Lovely smile. Amazing videography. Really like the camera angles and visual effects. Great message by the way. Love the subtle background music. You guessed it.. I'm a fan of the channel! 😀
Awwww thank you soooo much!! I’m so glad you enjoyed this and thank you for the support ❤️
This has been something I’ve been wrestling with the past few weeks. I started reading personal development books when I was 13 years old. I’m 28 years old now, and while it still lights me up to a certain degree, I def get stuck on that roller coaster of feeling like my worth is dependent upon my level of productivity and improvement. It’s definitely something I’ve been working to challenge in myself this year. Thank you for this video.
I'm from America and I think we are obsessed with self-improvement. And I think at a certain point, we do wanna make changes: I wanted to stop drinking alcohol, partying, hanging out late, eating junk...and I wanted to start working out, reading, etc but I think balance is key. You don't have to wake up ay 6am and go to the gym; you can just do the things you enjoy and be open to learning new things.
I hope you're doing well!
Life feel good and life will full with peace if you hv true love true love always does respect both emotions and does care both
I’ve been feeling this exact same way this week. At some point, self-improvement started becoming a hobby for me, taking me out of living in the moment and putting me in this state of trying to achieve perfection. I recently started forcing myself to get away from all of the self-help stuff and it’s improved my mood so much.
That’s not to say that I’ve stopped applying what I’ve learned. I just decided to start minimizing how much I’m consuming and when I do consume it I need to take it and apply it somehow. Otherwise I risk falling into the same trap.
Yes exactly!! I feel a lot better too when I’m not consuming it as much
My take from this video: "better yourself for you not to fit into society's definition of you". Thank you Akta.
Hi Akta 👋,
I think many people (including myself) resort to consuming content regarding self improvement and/or personal development due to their curiosity of exploring other paths besides the ones taught by society. As liberating as it feels to follow that curiosity, we also have the responsibility to figure out for ourselves how we’re going to effectively apply those concepts into our lives and make them work for us on our own individual journeys.
Sending you lots of love!!! ❤️❤️❤️🤗
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head, we need to apply it to our own lives so that it’s our journey!! Thanks for watching Ritchie :)
Could not put it better myself! All content should be an inspiration for our own journey and reflection - not something to use as an easy fix!
Wow, you summarised hundreds of years of self help trajectory in a couple of seconds - well done! I would argue self-care is not the problem but how we consume it and how it increasingly commodified (both of which you touched upon) is. Amazing video and thank you for sharing!
I can't wait for a new video Akta, hope everything is going well :)
Wow, the content of this video resonated SO MUCH with me!!! It's almost like self improvement has become a kind of addiction that it totally starts to miss its point. Thank you Akta ❤
I really like how many of the thoughts that go through my mind as well. And maybe I've even talked about a bit myself. Either on my channel or with some of my friends. The fact that a lot of this self-help. Type of content is a bit of shiny object syndrome. And then we get the habit of not really expressing our own thoughts or way of doing things.
Akta :) what an amazing video, love seeing your content! You are such a great creator :)
Love this message!
Thank you :)
Your YT is a goldmine of ideas, I can't decide which one to watch. I clicked on 4-5 of them and got impressed by the style you presented Wisdom: with Harmony. You are intellectually and emotionally❤intelligent. I decided to mark your channel, so will watch some of your content when I have time in an environment without distractions. Thank you for your work, appreciate it!
I could not agree more! Self care can still be an inspiring process thanks to creators.
@@lostinadmiration dziekuje bardzo, Darja, you have a cool channel!💃
@@molchaniazolotovacommunica9015 oh thank you so much!!! I appreciate it!
This video really hits home. You are really growing as a person Akta and it's a wonderful thing to see 😃👍 😊.
Thank you so much 🥺❤️
thank you dear Akta
Great video ❤
Amazing!
This is sooo relatable......😫😫😫
I’m glad it’s not just me 😅😅
Self improvement is not bad per se. The thing about this self help era is that many people don't actually get the point of self help. Self help is about purpose, meaning and a pursuit of a greater life.
One of the he cons of self help is that many of the producers knows how addictive their products are, so they keep making courses, seminars and books. The problem with this is that people becomes consumers. This repeats itself and they end up falling into the thirst-dopamine traps that self help vids give us. We end up not making any progress, just tricking our brains to thinking that we did. This is called action faking, and MJ DeMarco has discussed this on his self help book that actually helps.
Were always something new.

Most self help content is the opiate of the masses. Edit: I think I just came up with a clever title for a RUclips video.
😂
If you unsuccess in yours life at any point which is most important and most valuefull point for life it's mean your dission was wrong for that point you should think that y u have taken that wrong dission who was that talke jiske Karan tumne vo galat nirnaye liya
You are beautyfull
self-improvement can easily become a hamster wheel that feels good but gets you nowhere. New experiences and self-reflection are my favorite tools for self development these days.
Your English is good can you teach to me english I will yours thankfull I know some English but not good like you yours English sound is so good 😊
98% of self-help is a scam to take your money. If you just look into it, you will see how they do it. Mark Manson is the only "self-help" guy that i trust or read anymore.
I know that at least male self improvement used to be “become the best version of yourself to find meaning in life and build a good life for your family” but now it’s all about becoming better so you can get laid more. which is pretty lame
People are more insecure now. In the past, men usually earned money to support their families. That is not the case anymore. Both men and women have to have jobs to make a decent living. Immigration to western countries has also increased drastically. As a result, competition for securing jobs especially in corporations has increased a lot. Jobs are no longer secure and so people have to constantly learn and grow to be marketable. People have to work much harder to meet the basic necessities of life without getting into debt and so the stress level has increased. Insecurity and stress is forcing people to look for answers.
hi, just checking up on you!
That’s so sweet!! I’m all good, just working out what my boundaries are online and what I want to post about :)
@@Akta that's amazing! Feeling better knowing you are okay!!
Self acceptance 🤓
