Living During Times of Uncertainty: Tips for Reducing Stress and Anxiety
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- I think we all can relate that the past months (and even years) have been pretty crazy - pandemic, inflation, war, and worldwide economic crisis all at once. We personally have never experienced such dramatic changes in our lives and never had to deal with such uncertainty not knowing how our life would look like in several days or several months. During our move from Russia, I was learning how to help myself to deal with stress and anxiety and I wanted to share with you some principles that I try to follow to feel better and that work for me during hard times. Hope you might find them helpful✨
Thank you for watching!💛

You’re such a wise young woman. I’m a mental health nurse and the tips and advice you shared are all spot on and useful. The only additional tip that comes to mind, and pardon me if you mentioned it, I’d spend some time in nature or at least connecting to the natural world. Don’t forget to breathe 🧘🏻♂️. Blessings on your journey 💕🙏
My mantra was “In through the nose, out through the mouth.”
Oh yes! Nature is so good for our mental health!✨
I love the fact that your faith is in Christ. It’s one of the reasons I watch your channel. You are not afraid to tell people about your love of Jesus and that’s so important in these times especially. I agree with everything you have said. I do not listen or read the news at all. I stopped during the pandemic. I can’t control what happens in the world but I know God is in control so I rest in that. You are very wise for such a young person. May God continue to bless your precious family. ❤️❤️
Amen! I agree 💯%. I watch because she loves Christ and I love her and her family because they are family in the Lord. Vikka is such a lovely person. Very sweet and wise. Stay away from the news. It's toxic. They don't tell the truth anyway and we can't change things either. God bless you and everyone!
Same here😊
Just curious, if she wasn't a christian, would you still watch? Would the value of the content be less, in your mind, if she were Buddhist?
Fantastic advice, Vika. You have wisdom beyond your years. 2 Timothy 1:7 "for God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and self-control." Sometimes it's hard to remember that in times of great uncertainty. In addition to your list, I also strive to focus on the needs of other people when life is stressful - take someone a meal, make a phone call, send a "thinking about you" card, offer to visit - there are so many small things that we can do for others. Blessings you all.
I didn't realise you had left your home. Immense respect to you and wishing you all the best, strength and success.
Go watch her “We left Russia” video. She explains everything and its a very good video
You are spot on in your advice, when the pandemic hit I did all of those things and I am so thankful that I did! Most important was staying away from the news. Like you I may watch occasionally but I found it depressing so I try and stay away! Peace and love to you and your family!
A wise Christian author and speaker, Elisabeth Elliot, once said, "When you don't know what to do next, do the next thing." This advice has gotten me through many thought times when I could have been crippled by anxiety or doubt.
I was going to comment about this. I really don’t want to just self promote myself but I read the poem out on my channel awhile back. It’s called “do the next thing”. ❤️. I even rewatch it from time to time to settle my heart.
ruclips.net/video/8Zm16U3Dfi4/видео.html I hope this video helps you find some peace during uncertain times. ✨
This is incredible advice, thank you for sharing it. Lots of love. ⚘
@@inspiringsimple which video?
@@pyriteheroine the one I linked above. It’s a reading of the poem by Elisabeth Elliot.
It's very hard to be a sensitive person. I've always been that way. I remember crying for the fish my dad cleaned after fishing. I think I was three or four. It hasn't improved. I still feel for people and animals.
My husband just tested positive for covid. We live in the US. I came back to this video again (lost count of the no. of times I’ve already watched it😊) to feel better and lower my anxiety. Thank you Vika!
You reached and helped so many people
This needed to be said and heard daily
Blessings to you and your family
Very good advice. I have had to not watch the news as much as I usually do, and focus on my life here and now. That doesn't mean I'm ignorant or hiding from world events, but too much negativity can affect your spirit. Blessings on you and your family ❤️
You are a wise young woman. May God richly bless you and your family. God wants us to live free. Love and prayers
I believe you are giving such good advice. Our belief in God gives us peace and courage. You are young and wise. Stay safe and God bless.
Thank you, I’ve been trying to do all these things. I gave up news when the pandimic started. We just had the school shooting in Texas and I added the families to my prayers. Love knowing you and your family are doing better. Love you guys. California Joanna
You reaaally know how to make me smile. I love your first point. I'm truly rooting for you and your family.
The other day, I played one of your videos and it helped anxiety and worry go away. Thank you for reminding us of all the little joys that life gives us ❤️.
Yes I plan on watching this video a lot. It had such a positive effect on me and really calmed me and soothed me.
There are studies that say moving is one of the most stressful things you will do in your life but I think you made the right choice. I’m an atheist but the reason I don’t criticise people for being religious is because I see how it brings you comfort & guidance but also I don’t believe it’s up to me what other people believe in. (It’s a shame so few Christians see it that way.)
less news has become important to me but I do try to stay informed but the biggest thing for me is my partner. She’s a constant in my life no matter what happens & she’s the one who’s always there for me. With her support I can deal with anything.
When it comes to coping with difficult times I think a lot of people forget the importance of maintaining your mental health. Spending time with your loved ones, for me at least, is the thing that makes me feel better no matter what’s going on. Taking time out to play a video game may seem frivolous but it distracts me for a while & allows me to come back refreshed to look at the things I need to deal with, so don’t feel guilty about spending time & money on entertainment in whatever way works for you.
Great video, thanks. My best wishes to you & your family.
I to am a Christian and when I’m stressed or frightened the first thing I do is pray! It calms and reassures me that God has us in His hands and He’s in control ultimately. I’ve been praying for you and your family. God bless you and keep you safe!
I've learned from you this time Vika. Thank you. Stay strong. Stay close to the Lord our God. Love you as my younger sister in the Lord.
Thank you for sharing your tips. They are very good. This world will always have troubles. Thankful to know the God who can help us through it all. Sending love from Florida.
Thank you for sharing.
God bless you and your family.
I really like this video! It came online right in the perfect time. I totally agree with you. It's so easy to put these points in action. Thank you! Be blessed!
This is very good info, I'm going to be moving and we are leaving everything and going to a place I know nothing 😳 my faith in God is all that helps me continue.
Good advice for handling stress. Thank you for sharing.
I REALLY needed to hear this right now...a simple, calm laying out of how to feel "good enough" to be able to function better...THANK YOU
Agatha is so sweet 💕 she looks so much like your husband! Thanks for these good reminders
These tips are great for approaching crisis, both personal/societal. I say this as someone who studies organizational identity formation at the PhD level. The idea of the spirit factors into this, whether someone identifies with conventional religious belief or not, because it is difficult to function when you feel demoralized. The rest is about proportion/scale/scope of what you personally are responsible for and expectations for what you can do in any given moment in response to a problem.
I watched this before, but needed to hear it again. Your advice is so helpful! You are a wonderful Mom and Wife! I hope you are doing well, and your family is blessed! I will pray for your family in Russia too! Thank your sharing your advice ,it is tremendously helpful! God bless you!!!
Your advice is so wise beyond your youth and I would say that Christ in your life leads you✝️ I wish I had had Christ when I was very young but so thankful to have Him ,and The Word of God in my life.. At times ,my comments have been removed for this kind of speaking but I am so glad you are doing this..I have very hard discision now about where to live and your advice is spot on on..You and your sweet family are in my daily prayers...May God continue to keep you and bless you mightly my dear sister in Christ..Much Love from Alabama USA 👩🦳💖💖🙏🌿🕊️🌿
A walk always helps. Fresh air and some sort of exercise. You and your family have a lot to cope with right now. What a start in life. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Xx
Vika, thanks for this personal vlog. Your advice reinforces my understanding of many healthy personal habits (and reminds me to follow them). BTW, you, Tolya and Agatha are visual examples of the results of healthy living!
Very wise words.. I have a strong faith in God but sometimes I need a reminder how to just stay focused on my well being. Thank you for the incourging words .. God bless you and your Family.. I will keep you in my prayers..
It was so lovely to see the Bible in Russian! And Tolya holding Agatha was so sweet.
Living in poverty-striken Greece, deep into financial woes since 2007, both the country and the plethora of her citizens, I admire you and your family for the bravery you showed, a bravery I curse myself for not having the guts to show for the benefit of my own family. You are an inspiration, albeit so young. Bravo.
At the end of a stressful day, as I lay in bed I thank Jesus that he said, "Never will I leave you never will I forsake you. I am with you always even until the end of the age." Then I throw my arms in the air and say, "Cast your cares upon the Lord, for he cares for you." With those words & my heart I give all my problems to The Lord. ✝✝✝✝
Wow really
Yes, these Bible verses are very helpful.
Amen. He is a faithful God!
@@richardlee3235 this some bed time ritual eh...
You are an amazing woman. I admire your strength amidst all the all the turmoil your family has faced in recent months. I pray for your family’s continued safety, strength, comfort and happiness. Much love and hugs from Florida. 💕🤗🙏😘
You are very wise and give great advice im 3 times your age and after watching you since the beginning my life has changed.bless you and your. Husband
Hello Victoria, just like you I pray, read my Bible, speak God's words into my life and situations, trust him and I stay away from the News. I focus on what's important in my life and not situations I can't control. I enjoyed the video, made me realize doing the right things.😊
Thank you Vika for your beautiful video and for sharing your healthy tips, they're very helpful and encouraging. Wishing you and your family many blessings🌼💛🌷💛🍀💛🍋💛🫒
Such wisdom! This is very helpful. Thank you.
I am going to watch this video over and over whenever I get stressed about the the way our world is now. Thank you! Your voice is very calming.
I think noticing the little things that bring you joy is called practicing 'mindfulness'. If you take a walk, notice the sounds, trees, birds, people, buildings all that sort of thing and really take it in. Focus on the present and not external thoughts that you can't control. I've done this in the past and it really helps you appreciate things and relax more.
Dear Vika, You are wise beyond your years. Such good advice and love that you share your Christian faith. I can't wait to see the new baby. You are such a blessing to so many. Praying God's blessings on you and your beautiful family.
Yes, yes, and YES.
You’re one of the most intelligent humans I’ve met in awhile. Basic stuff but all important. I love your energy. 💗
Good advice. Sometimes we need to hear this even if we already know it. I’ve been very impressed by how you’re handling such big life changes and uncertainty.
All very good advice. You are very wise. One thing that helped me at the beginning of the pandemic was to focus on daily routines and daily tasks. I learned about the Fly lady system by watching Diane in Denmark.
Thank you for this video! Its a great reminder for everyone. I look forward to your videos. You seem like such great people its very refreshing to see!
Спасибо, Вика! Совет очень мудрый. В последнее время я очень беспокоюсь. Много молитв за вас, Толю, Агату и малышку.
Thank you for your kind message. I loved the visuals. Your hubby looking at you and your daughter is always so sweet to see! He reminds me of my own father. ☺️
Your family is such an inspiration, love your little family, I hopes you end up where you need to be, much love ❤️🏴
Beautiful and useful. Precious family. Grace and peace from a sister in our Lord Jesus Christ ♥️
I can’t imagine all that you and your family is going through. I pray that God’s truth will reside deeply in you and your family to give you hope and joy. Many blessings!
This is so true. Thank you for making me hope 🙏
Great l ist! I try to do much on that list to not focus on the negatively out there.
Hi Vika. I keep rewatching this video, whenever I feel anxious. I feel very warm and relaxed when I watch your videos in general. Thank you Vika ❤️
Thank you so much for these helpful tips! I love seeing you and your family safe and happy. 😊
Absolutely Victoria! Excellent advice! Happy Weekend!!!💖💖💖💖
Today's vlog topic is also a way for projecting your perspective to consider the welfare of all humanity, not only our individual concerns, an approach common to Buddhists. I hope many benefit from these positive suggestions for coping with circumstances beyond our control. I would also add the benefits of exercise to the advice you already included about sleep and eating patterns.
Agree with you totally. Your a very wise young lady. Much love to you all! ❤️🦋❤️🦋
Псалтирь 45
Бог нам прибежище и сила, скорый помощник в бедах, посему не убоимся, хотя бы поколебалась земля, и горы двинулись в сердце морей.
Второзаконие 31:6
будьте тверды и мужественны, не бойтесь, и не страшитесь их, ибо Господь Бог твой Сам пойдет с тобою [и] не отступит от тебя и не оставит тебя.
От Матфея 28:20
Я с вами во все дни до скончания века. Аминь.
That is beautiful. Thank you
Thank you Victoria, you are a calm person, your voice is also calming, and you are so positive, God Bless you!
As someone who isn't religious, the first point is tricky for me because I don't believe in a higher power 'looking out' for me and I'm not really interested in meditation. So yeah that's a hard one for me. It is harder to stop yourself from feeling down if you feel on your own. I think being in nature or connecting with people and animals would be the alternative for me.
Great tips for reducing stress, u n ur family have been thru so much all while being pregnant n w/ Agatha I'm glad to see y'all doing n looking great.💞
Your wisdom and ability to communicate is far beyond your years.
All you’ve shared is so true! Thank you. (:
As a Christian, I find such peace in being quiet before the LORD, and thanking Him that I have a loving father in heaven, no matter what is happening around me. We have the throne of Grace to go to for Grace. ❤️ Your sister in Christ in Texas
Spot on. Let me also say you are adorable pregnant. I just experienced my own miracle by receiving and praying. I was told I had heart failure but after tests yesterday all is well. And finally go to RUclips and listen to I Speak Jesus by Charity Gayle. It is amazing.🥰
Very good advice Victoria! I think so many people are getting stressed and anxious about the state of the world right now. A steady diet of news can be so depressing, so I agree that we need to step away from it and do things that bring us joy. I have been reading my bible more, and doing lots of gardening and long walks with the dog. Like you, I'm so thankful for the little things, such as starting the day with a good cup of coffee.☕
Vika, you are amazing. Bless you and your growing family.
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences and your own ways for dealing with the considerable stress you are under. Take care of your dear selves.
thanks for sharing your best ways to get through this rough time we are all experiencing. Blessings to you and your family Victoria.
May our Lord watch over you and your lovely family during your travel and coming future. I am from Malaysia and I follow your blog very closely. We will uphold you in our prayers. Lots of love from us. Mike & Tracy Yip.
Wonderful words of encouragement and helpful advice, Victoria! I’m sure this will help many that are struggling. I’m glad you all are safe. ❤️
I feel , as a fellow Christian, that God is using you for so much good ! You are a huge inspiration. Thank you. X
Thank you for sharing with us. You and your family have certainly been through huge change in a stressful situation. Your thoughtfulness and understanding is refreshing. I agree with everything and would include being out in nature if possible. Blessings.
Listening to you is wonderful...your intellect and integrity are amazing. You make very wise decisions
You are a gem and a shining light. I wish you much peace.
Thank you for sharing! I enjoy seeing your video's and learning about Russian culture and the move to Georgia. Hope you all are safe and healthy.
The Lord is our peace and our hope. I’m so glad when we feel stress we can go to him and rest in him. ❤️🙌🏻 God bless all!
I'm the same!! 🙂 Like every single thing you've mentioned, I do the exact same thing. 😉
Good luck, Vika! 🤗
you're such a kind person! excellent advice. Mental health is important. glad to see you are well. you look wonderful!
I pray every day/night, and it always fills me with such calm ♥ it is so true, no matter what you believe in or religion or spirituality you have. Use it! ♥ i suffer with chronic general anxiety. And i have to take medication for it but the things you mention are so so so important. We tend to forget how just a little thing could make your day better just a little bit more. If we manage to try. I should also stop reading news, i got in to a bad habbit of checking the covid numbers every day and it is not helping lol become sort of a bad habbit thats hard to kick. Wish you well and a lot of blessed and good days ahead! You look glowing pregnant ♥
Your points are very positive and helpful and should help each and everyone that follows them. Your advise is very welcomed and hopefully will bring some peace to everyone! Thanks so much!
Hey Vika keep having positive thoughts..God bless you and your family❤ 🇬🇧
Great and wise advice Victoria. Control is an illusion. God’s in control and that keeps me from working. “ I will never leave or forsake you “ also “ I didn’t give you the spirit of fear, but of power and love and a strong mind “ God Bless you all 💕🙏
🙏 Yes, prayer is definitely first💕
I really like how you reason about how to clear your head and especially the fact that you do not have to read all the news from all corners of the world. It's not that I do not care, but there is very little I can do apart from inflicting worries on myself as you point out. Social media such as Facebook, Twitter etc. live off this and it is therefore important that you notice when enough is enough in relation to yourself. Great that you address this issue :)
"read less news" - good advice!
Bless you and your family. Thanks for the good video!
I want to thank you for this video! ❤️ I hope you and your family are doing well and I wish you all the best, because good people like you deserve it! ❤️ The situation in my country is getting worse and worse by every day and I really needed this video! Thank you for all my heart! May God bless your family! ❤️
Thank you for creating a gift of care for others during your own time of great uncertainty. I find it very wise to begin with your spiritual self. It is the root. So many stress reduction tips are “fluffy” and might be fun but don’t address the real need of the soul. Going deeper is more work and, I think, more beneficial. I am grateful you have found a safe haven for your family and your pregnancy. All the love to each of you.
Very helpful video, Vika! I keep you and your family in my prayers daily :)
Lots of love!
Love your videos. They make me feel better. Thank you!
Thank you for your advice. Also, cute dress!
Hello from Russia ❤️🤗
I love your #2 piece of advice, I need to do this more. I do have anxiety, I do take medication but I will try this more.
I love how this video was filmed.
Great advice for living in tough times! Thank you
I love what you said about caring for the spirit! The way you speak is so full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom. You have a wonderful, compassionate heart.
Well said my dear! You are absolutely amazing and I am sure you have helped many people with this video 💕‼️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏many blessings to you and your family. You are a kind lovely soul.
I loved this video 💗 I also want to thank you because you have inspired me to become a minimalist! I know it's better for the planet so that's why I'm doing it. Спасибо!
No not one person but all that watch your videos Vika and here your words will be helped in different ways as we are all different ,ime a Gran father and old but i watch and enjoy your video to much news can get u down anyway please look after yourself and keep safe God Bless from Ireland
Hi Vika! Yes, i agree with all your tips. So important. I, too, have to take a break from the news every so often or i get overwhelmed. I love your vlogs! They remind me to stop and enjoy and appreciate the little things. You guys are always in my prayers.🙏 God bless❤️
