I trained myself to give gratitude to the most smallest things! My most favorite thing in the world is the sky, especially at sunset, and I look forward to seeing it everyday and I feel for grateful to be alive. Also im an artist, and when I look at my hands and it’s perfect functionality, I literally tear up because I know some people don’t have that and I couldn’t paint or create without them. So stuff like that reminds me that I’m so lucky and life’s worth living 🎉❤
aww as a Muslim girlie that loves being part of your community those inshallahs elhamdulillah and mashallah were sooo cute and precious lolll you used them correctly btw also loving another epic episode of btsp I needed this talk sooo I'm literally hugging you back, accepting all the good energy, sending the same, thank you girrlllss
as a muslim and a huge fan of yall, ive never been happier hearing insyaallah, maashallah & alhamdulillah from u guys my inspirations AND in this podcast being about motivation AND at a time personally ive been struggling with motivation. im very grateful for u guys
I don’t think I’ve ever loved an internet figure as much as I love the Alexander family 🩷 Also, you used the Arabic expressions perfectly! For those who don’t know, Inshallah translates to 'if God wills,' and we use it when talking about future plans. Mashallah means 'God has willed it,' and we say it to express admiration for something. Lastly, Alhamdulillah means 'all praise is due to God.’ Inshallah, may all your dreams come true 💐
Yall are so right, when you realize you have free will and the world is your oyster, and all those doubts you have or you think people have about you doesn’t matter, life becomes so simple and fun! There’s this quote from Everything Everywhere All at Once, where the main characters realize “nothing matters” and they become depressed about it because what’s the point, but at the end of the movie, “nothing matters” becomes something positive and they aren’t depressed anymore because they realize that if nothing matters they can do whatever they want to be happy. So it all depends on your perspective 😊 “Nothing matters… 😢” “Nothing matters! 😃”
Noo what Amber said was not stupid!!!! And what yall talked about at the beginning is a clear example of time being a social construct. The weather change… we’re supposed to be hibernating right now!!! Not working this hard. That’s why we’re so depressed!!! We’re supposed to be snuggled up… no time for farming, just sleeping and resting.. If we followed the seasons, sunrise/sunset and the stars, we would be much happening. All of these things are telling us what we should be doing but instead we’re focused on how much money we should make instead of just living life with the earth and the always changing patterns…
I graduated from art school this summer and I’m struggling a bit with the direction I want to take in my life/managing my time without school but Ashley’s vids always give me a boost of motivation bc she’s just so driven even when life throws curveballs, she’s just so real and genuine and we appreciate you and your motivation and bits of wisdom 🩷 she even helped motivate me to join a gym and start regularly exercising and I’m there rn!! love btsp one of my fave podcasts to listen to while I’m drawing 🫶
This has been my favourite BTSP episode so far. My man is a practising Muslim and we both were swooning and giggling when you guys (accurately) used words like Mashallah, Inshallah. It was really fun, this whole thing. ❤
Honestly my menstrual cycle has such an effect on my productivity so as a girl I try to work WITH IT not against it. Like make most of my energetic days, taking regular breaks the week before period and literally allowing myself to get extra rest and sleep during periods help a LOT!
I really was interested in your father’s episode, when his talk about mental health, how he educated you guys. You , all siblings, looks feet grinders, go and get, I really want a episode like that. Talking about stuff like that, so im glad with this episode.
I was really struggling today with motivation and this really helped me. Thank you guys so much! Being the same age as Ashley, I really take inspiration from watching you thrive so much at this young age in THIS ECONOMY and I just feel like watching you two every week, it's like we're girl bossing together.
as someone who been dealing with depression n recently diagnosed with adhd im so happy to listen to this episode, you guys' positivity makes me feel like I can do anything (: keep it up ! loving this podcast
literally your podcast (and your yt videos) is the best thing of the weekkkk 🤩 loving your vibes and energy!! thank you so much for the positivity and authenticity that you put out 🫶🏻🫶🏻
The best way to get out of a slump journal and listen to BTSP✨ Thank you for this. Much needed for sure especially with everything going on right now people are feeling it.
i like when the podcast episodes have a topic and u guys go in depth and cover it. reminds me of ashley’s old podcast, it had a lot of structure and i learned so much from it. keep it up :D
Ashley and amber, thanks for such adorable podcasts and coming up with great topics , i love how it’s not very formal but it’s like we are sitting on the couch and having a discussion with our friends. Sometimes we talk about diff things and that’s what makes it so real and authentic. Thanks for this one, much needed as I have taken a gap year, and feeling a lil slumped 🎉
Someone probably already commented about this, but also refer to the "Everything Is Awful and I'm Not Okay" list of action items when you feel depressed! It includes the things you mentioned--bathing and going outside--but adds things like eating nutritious food, drinking water, and taking medication (as prescribed). Seasonal depression is real, though, and I would strongly recommend a lamp with a "natural" light setting! The ones for actual seasonal affective disorder can get expensive, but a craft lamp that mimics natural light should do the trick. At the very least, reading a book by a window during daylight hours and getting some indirect sunlight should genuinely help.
slushy noobz mentioned again in the btsp istg i started watching them bc of u guys from that one episode and i guess im a slushie now.. so thank you so muchs.. love them.. and love you guys btsp my favorite podcast 🤗🫶🫶🫶
Needed this so badly!!! Congratulations on the Merch btw I wish I lived nearer to get things sooner. Also ash has been like my elder sister and amber like a sis my age I love u guys sm keep growing lovies
Amber you were eating it up when you were talking about how time is a social construct, to piggy back off what you were saying, humans are supposed to know how to provide for themselves, us being so disconnected from Mother Nature, because Mother Nature provides everything we could ever need not just to survive but to thrive, and not being able to provide for ourselves because we’ve been conditioned to believe we need the current system in place is a major contributor to seasonal depression and so many other things, but yeah the Industrial Revolution was the start of the slow burning death of us and this planet, literally, but it can be stopped if we take our power back from this system. I know this sounds crazy but sooner or later we gotta face it because global warming isn’t natural, being fed cancer causing chemicals isn’t natural, being so dependent on a system that a majority of our species barely even thinks about Mother Nature is not natural, and so on
Im from Saudi Arabia and I LOVE when u guys say inshaallah jajaja u guys used them perfectlyy cultured queeens mashaallah. Alhalmdlilah is being grateful so giving thank you God “Allah”
Beautiful besties Mashaalah 💗 And yes you used the words very well mashaalah , I will wait for ur next episode inshaalah and alhamdulilah you liked those words🫶🏻🌝 Thanks for the tips and btw appreciation is actually a very important thing to feel ok, appreciation of everything we have and being grateful everymorning and evening and night is such a GORGEOUS thing hhhh ,and yes girls being grateful is an important part of islam,which claims that it should be a part of every person's routine (Thanking God:"Allah" for everything he gave us ) . Im sure you will like islam if you know more about it♡ Love you girls 🩷🩷
ok but pit stains are so real ashley 🤣🤣😭 ill literally breathe and im already sweating. i realized that i start to sweat when i DO put on antiperspirant so today i skipped it and just used glycolic acid instead. currently the afternoon and i have not sweat as much as i usually do! glycolic acid also works for the smell so maybe buy some (not from the ordinary ofc due to 🇵🇸) and wipe it on ur armpits morning and night. even a little spray bottle of it can be handy!
guys in the clurb we all fam is from broad city and its an AMAZING show of two young women living in NYC doing crazy stuff its so funny and made by women, you should rlly watch it!
I don't have snow at all where I live 😅😅 we rarely have a winter in my state if we do its very rare , you have had christmas be 80⁰? 💀💀I live in Mississippi , and literally when it gets cold which my cold is 65⁰😭😭 i be so happy and i get seasonal depression more in the spring for some reason , prob cause i hate spring here , so many unknown bugs and agressive wasps who need anger management classes , like why are they so aggressive 🥴
What is 5 o'clock 5 o'clock can be disorienting experience, especially if you're not used to it The early morning darkness the silence and stillness make it feel almost surreal As the world hasn't fully woken up yet In such a moment U might find urself questioning why you're awake in the first place Put U remember to pray and u finish praying and u just set back and think to urself hemm maybe I can me productive and u just end up going back to sleep

You used every Arabic words perfectly! I’m so impressed 🙌🏽 kisses from France 😘
Honestly my menstrual cycle has such an effect on my productivity so as a girl I try to work WITH IT not against it. Like make most of my energetic days, taking regular breaks the week before period and literally allowing myself to get extra rest and sleep during periods help a LOT!
Elhamdulillah-Thank God -is the best way to incorporate and practice gratitude, even the sound of it brings me calmness and peace ❤❤

This is a reminder to everyone who’s struggling to keep a positive habit going: it’s better to do less than you hoped than to do nothing at all

Love you ❤❤
What is 5 o'clock
5 o'clock can be disorienting experience, especially if you're not used to it
The early morning darkness the silence and stillness make it feel almost surreal
As the world hasn't fully woken up yet
In such a moment U might find urself questioning why you're awake in the first place
Put U remember to pray
and u finish praying and u just set back and think to urself hemm maybe I can me productive
and u just end up going back to sleep
