The irony of not being bored while watching a film about boredom. That’s talent. Well done Kariza
Goal achieved!! Thank youuu Mark 🙏🏼
Couldn't agree more ! She's genius
Who's Kariza?
Incredibly well-done video. I loved the page-flip transition!
Ahh thank you Thomas!!!
@@LifeOfRiza does listening to music count as touching the phone
@@Skyeebooklover kind of. The idea of not touching the phone is about allowing your thoughts to be free and as loud as it could, and being comfortable with being alone without trying to fill the silence. listening to music could distract the experience.
@@AlFirous any kind of music is bad because it will still stimulate your brain. It will just make it wayyy harder for you to actually think and not get distracted, since music is kind of a distraction.
@@itseIv thanks
Yes! Having thinking time is soo important.
no seasoning on the chicken
Yeah! I like dedicating time for intrusive depressive thoughts and existential dread!
I remember thinking about this when I was a kid(I’m 19, so this wasn’t exactly forever ago). My thought process was basically, “everything we do in our lives beyond meeting basic needs is motivated by an aversion to boredom. We’re constantly doing something/being stimulated. Imagine what we could do if we just took time to be alone with our thoughts each day.” And of course I proceeded to become even more screen addicted than ever during subsequent years
😂😂 never saw that coming
I spent 3 months in a hospital back in 2019. Over half the time was spent without my phone. I learned a few things about bordem and why we avoid it.
My mind went immediately to my problems and whatever was stressing me. Phones represent an escape. But because I didn't have my phone I was forced to reconcile my thoughts and fears but how uncertain my future was at that time. Being in a hospital unable to walk, talk or eat you can imagine I had a lot to worry about.
So instead of trying to push my anxiety away I chose to have faith that things would get better and pour the little energy I had into long conversations with my family members who were with me.
It wasn't easy and broke down several times, but it was necessary for me to go through thst in order to heal mentally.
As I regained my health I've carried the belief that bordem, being able to sit quietly in a room with your own thoughts is essential to life. If we can get past the intial urge to escape via our phones, we will find whatever troubling thoughts may come with bordem won't last and behind it all is true creativity and wonder.
Just discovered your channel! Loved this video, your storytelling is great 🙌🏻
I have no idea why your channel hasn't blow up that big yet. The cinematography, the delivery, the production. Everything is falling into a right place. Such a great work, Riza
need some time to let the soul breathe 💕 love this message and i always feel so guilty when not performing a certain type of productivity when it’s preached that time is money. It’s like people having their best ideas when they shower cause it’s when they’re actually relaxed and not trying to force stuff out. Also you’re an amazing storyteller and film maker! The ending shots felt reminiscent of a summer time type of happy film
omg yes exactly!! thank you divya :') 💕
This was a masterclass in RUclips filmmaking and storytelling. That page through/underline transition was so stinking good!
The fact that so much of this was locked of shots yet so Cinematic is magic. I’m so challenged and inspired to level up.
Regardless of subscribers, you’re one of the top creators in the space. Definitely the top female creator in the personal development space.
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏼
Your home looks like a film set! Nicely done. Love the color grading as well. That's really tough to find a balance among all the things you love, so I found it is also important to set properly priorities. Otherwise, boredom becomes an escape from productivity. :)
still not over the shot 1:29, all these shots are so clean ahhh - what an honor to see this play on the big screen at buffer last month :')
it was an honour to share the screen w all you talented folks :')
Your channel is so life giving. I love the messages, the editing, the colors, the music..everything is beautiful.
Thanks, I watched this while bored and not I'm not so bored thinking about how being bored is not boring but may be a good thing.
Boredom, often seen negatively in our hyperconnected world, can actually boost creativity. Embracing moments of quiet reflection and disconnection from screens can lead to new ideas and inspiration.
too real, picking up your phone after you've mentally decided to take a break, the whiplash of embarrassment I've felt oml
loved this sm :) I appreciate you providing a space for quiet & reflection!!
Really appreciate your videos, as a life long creative/discontent and now parent. Well done. Well crafted and thoughtful. Thank you.
This is the wholesome slide of YT, literally I'm doing the same experiment, step by step and REALLY it has good results. I've started eating without my phone and, god, the ideas I've got are amazing. Also, getting bored it gives the space to the introspection and it's where your deepest thoughts come out. For me, not using your phone and focusing more in you, it`s an outward journey
I can't agree more. I'm sixteen and I'm overly busy with schoolwork. I study thirteen subjects and go to school six days a week (I live in Italy)... I feel like I have no time to process anything and that whenever I have the tiniest bit of free time I have no mental energy whatsoever. I've been exploring this idea for a while now. I think I'm going to try this experiment as well, now that summer break is coming. I love your channel btw, your editing is sooooo good!!!
Really good info - I feel for us smaller channels who make quality content being bored and coming up with original ideas is solid
Went through your channel. Loving your videos though! @Andrew
@@sankalpsingha thank you man :) I feel like Riza's audience would really like my stuff - so that means alot
I got chills at the ending
the cinematography and storytelling was insane! Love the message and how well this video was put together.
i relate to the ‘noise’ part so much! it’s so much easier to focus when your brain isn’t cluttered with thoughts & ideas from social media. it’s a bit too boring and mundane but the quietness is everything.
Its crazy how every video hits for me, thanks Riza for being so curios, authentic & inspiring
This video is SO WELL MADE, and SO UNDERRATED.
that's so inspiring congrats,this is RUclips from scratch to success
I can relate to this video in sooo many ways. Our phones, computers, social medias etc. literally disconnects us from the real world. I realized it more now since I started to change my habits. It's like humans are intelligent creatures and they should think, they should take time to be creative than to just actively try to pass time over things. While our time is this precious, why do we try to make it pass this badly?
Ever since I started to realize things I started to just sit on my bed and dream. To think about anything that comes to my mind, to talk to myself, and let myself be my only friend. And let me tell you it improved my life so much. I mean I always was a dreamer, always was a thinker when I was a child. But actually spending time doing that is a whole another thing, and helped me get my life on track.
Thank you for making this video, it's really helpful
I always feel better whenever I watch your short films and the way you shoot and edit them is so inspirational.
First: Amazing message. Absolutely love what you’re trying to do and convey here. It’s important af.
Second: This was so stupidly well shot and graded and edited and whatever the fuck else. Not a single wasted shot, second, or line of dialogue. Pacing is immaculate and the script is perfectly concise, yet isn’t rushed at all. You’ve easily just become yet another source of inspiration for my own work/art, and for that you have my gratitude. Can’t wait to see more from you!
No words for how good this video is!! The script, the filmography, the storytelling… amazing!
I love how you tell your stories through the videos that you put out. Thank you for sharing your stories - they motivate me to start creating again.
Incredible filmmaking and a great concept. I realised recently how much time I spent on tiktok and how much it sapped my creativity, motivation and ability to focus. Looking for distractions to fill boredom means we’re constantly consuming and not creating/thinking for ourselves
Went through the exact same thing!
Risa, your videos are such a grace to my eyes, they’re so nicely written and aesthetically pleasing. It’ like watching a 5 minute film. You became my fav channel! Keep it up!
so much detail.. genius
also yessssssssss i'm gonna take time to feel bored and to be away from all the media and time consuming dopamine boosters everyday, instagram is so stimulating but dopamine levels go all crazy and then it feels numb after a while. tysm for making these videos i absolutely adoreeeeee your videos. i wish i had an older sister like you irl who encourages me to say yes to oppurtunity and inspires me to do better for myself
Just stumbled across your channel, and I must say, for once my RUclips recommandation did not miss the mark ! Your stories really resonate with me, and on top of that they are beautifully shot. Big kudos to you and I can't wait to discover more of your work :)
This was such an interesting perspective. I enjoy listening to what you have to say and appreciate your editing style. Being a creative person myself, I will search for a little more boredom in everyday life:)
Because it means you're not worrying about something, and it motivates you to do stuff.
Your story-telling amazes me every time you upload a video. I feel like your word choice expresses the story beautifully. Keep up the good work Riza.
I stumbled across your videos right on time… literally just self recognized how my focus and creativity have been crippling for years now, I’m trying to break the habits now but it’s hard, those dopamine addictions are strong
your stories line, filming and post products are all so good.
I have watched 7 or 8 videos of yours now and they are the first videos in quite a while where I have not skipped parts because I got bored.. everything you say is so interesting and your videos are so well made! thank you for enriching the internet with your quality🎉♥️
Absolutely brilliant. I quite enjoy a few minutes of boredom throughout my days!
The filmmaking.. the storytelling.. the flow from top to bottom.. it's just *chef's kiss*.. Each and every frame is incredible!
I love your work!! 🤍
I thought this was another psychology lesson from another expert on RUclips but I slowly watched your other videos and I gave this one a go. It's so true how the media tells us how to feel that I forgot that I'm first living in a real world and my own experience. As much as I like to "learn" new stuff on the internet, I'm ready to admit that I don't remember anything from what I've seen only the fact that Riza is an awesome youtuber while talking about all my problems.
You are so underrated. Glad I found your channel. You are the kind of person i dreamt of becoming.
I used to get bored a lot and it would be frustrating. Now I live for those moments, because they are the few times where I can just think.
Oh my... what a storytelling and editing! Im so happy RUclips suggested your video.
great story and pacing!! love the needle drops on this
I'm so glad I found your channel! Absolutely in love with your video and editing style. It's calming yet I feel I am learning something from each of your videos. Thank you for being an awesome creator, I'm excited to watch more :)
doing the dishes is an underrated act for clearing the mind /problem solving /dreaming /planning attack for the next whatever...
good one, curiosity comes out of boredom
Good quotes, nice aesthetics, and great advice
I totally agree with this. Nowadays we are so little with our own thoughts it's scary.
I watched one of your vlogs yesterday and felt a relief. Your videos are calming - opposite what majority of videos (especially shorts) out there. After watching it I remembered to slow down. There's no rush. I don’t need to keep up with the superfast pace of social media.
I've been longing to move to the countryside, grow my own veggies and flowers (I'm a gardener) and slow down my life. Focus on my art and photography. Focus on the real life, as you said.
One day, maybe one day I'll have my own log house & art studio + land in the countryside (and pets). ❤
This is one of my favorite videos on the internet, thank you Kariza!
I’m loving your videos lately ❤❤really helping me film a lot more creativly these days
It’s why the 60-70’s was so creative. No internet meant we were all bored and thus we became creative.
Wow! This was beautifully shot, edited, and communicated. This is gold! Thanks for sharing this with us
everything about this is amazing! such beautiful storytelling
I am in love with your cinematography and outlook on life. inspiring me with my own lil film projects!
You're such a great story teller, Riza! I fell inlove with your contents so relaxing and refreshing ✨💛
I feel like creativity all it takes to get it back is literally feed your brain nothing but air..eventually it’ll wonder
your cinematography skills are amazing! subtle, but stylish and effective!
Your edition is perfect! Well done!
i love this video riza! its just what i needed at the right time! love the visuals and music! thank you for taking the time out to make this amazing video!
I love this idea so much. It has never come to my mind about this before. So inspirational 👏
Your stuff is literally sooo good I loved this Riza!!
your videos are honestly beautiful :) crafted with such care it really shines through
your words (and this amazingly made video) couldn’t have come at a better time 🥲 thanks for the netflix-worthy reminder of how important it is to *disconnect* in order to *reconnect* Riza 👏🏼💌
ahhh i'm so glad !!! :') 💛
4:00 "Feeling like I'm Living in the real world." Deep line. In simple words, it means what you see around you is real, not an illusion created by your mind.
love everything about this video and the way of filming!
glad I’ve found you ❤️
why are your videos always so motivating? I love you so much!
Girl your house is so pretty, I love your aesthetic so much! You’ve been inspiring me a lot.
Wow! This was an absolute masterpiece of a video. I’ve been finding myself more and more distracted and unable to finish watching videos. This, I could not stop watching. So beautiful! Thank you for keeping my attention and reminding me to let go of it so the brain can rest. ❤
I love your type of videos, it is always so exciting to watch and I don't know how, but the edit, alongside with the history & the music moves my heart.
you made this topic into something so visually interesting. cheers!
There's this peace that comes with the sound of your voice... Please don't stop making good videos for us
Thank you for these videos! I've watched them all now!
I rarely put comments in any videos but yours made me do it! Love the way you tell your stories, can you do a video on how to do storytelling contents? 🥺 really appreciated!
Thank you so much for your videos. It's been healing me.
Much love from the Philippines!
Wow! I admire your camera work and storytelling - it shows how much effort you put into these videos! Keep this up and you will blow up in no time, PROMISE! :)
You're wiser than me, and I'm approaching my forties. Love from The Netherlands. Don't change.
I love your videos, the cinematography, editing, and production design are all so on point🔥
In the last few weeks I had a something similar in my mind,
I am studying at home in order to get qualified for university to a math degree
And untill recently I was playing a lot of computer games in my free time and phone games... youtube videos
and except of now and then I don't really anjoy it, it is just keeps me less bored and drains me to play more
( I enjoy some youtube videos and comuter games with friends but not alone)
now I realised that even though I studied a lot and I want a break
playing a game might not be that good
and I might rather do nothing
I thought to myself that it is ok to be bored now and then
and even if I get bored a lot this is the reality right now
and doing stuff that I am used to do is not better than being bored and use that time to accept some of the boredness and use some of this time to think what something new can I try
so I didn't stop entirely but I do it less
Oh my goodness. First video earned a subscribe. So well produced and thoughtful and interesting all at the same time! Plus it was inspiring... it makes me want to slow down and be bored, which is something I've been craving lately. Thank you.
I have been following and binged watching your videos for quite a while now. I am an aspiring Videographer and content creator and this is exactly the type of content and cinematography I want to achieve one day. Thank you for existing. I love all of these! 😭
Bored equals drama free ❤😊 manageability....
Wow girl I love your panels, it feels as though I´m watching a movie, so good. Keep it up :)
Love this so much! Really well done Kariza 👏🏾
This video is a masterpiece, truly.
Your work is art Kariza!!! 🥹🫶🏼
I tried quitting socials for a bit too and I felt like I “got back” a lot of so much time
The way you shot your office and living room makes them look like an apple commercial! Very well done! 👌🏼 And great video!
I like that your videos are different and tells a story with purpose. Not like the usual vlogs.
this describes how I've been feeling so accurately. I've had the most productive year of my life by making new friends, accomplishing so much work, learning new skills, and traveling so often. In my 20s, I feel obligated to make every day a productive day because I have the time, the money, and the energy. This attitude is starting to crush me, and deliberately doing nothing for once really helped bring my mood up. I didn't really know why it worked, but this explains it so well. Thanks.
Your content is completely different from anything I’ve seen on RUclips, it’s actually crazy and awesome
This is a really great and under appreciated channel. Thanks for the inspiration.
Every inch of this video is awesome!!
It's a great coincidence to come across your videos. Thank you for what you have shared here. It's the inspiration for me to create something similar for myself. Keep doing your great work!!!
AMAZINGLY WELL DONE VIDEO. I almost wanna call it a short film! You have such a cinematic vision for your videos, it is so fun to watch! I would love to see a behind the scenes video of how you make a video! I'm so curious on how you come up with each shot! 😊
this feels cinematic and nice!
