    I watched this a second time straight away after the first time, and then started to cry/sob during the second time. I shared it on my Facebook after. Thank you so much for the love you exude, this video helped lift a LOT of pain 💗

    Welcome to the real world. With kids it's different. You have so many moments where you get frustrated 😤 and 1 minute later my daughter smileys at me and I forget the world.
    Those little moment makes me keep going.
    I have Panik attack for 10 years now and it's very very hard but telling myself that it's very hard won't make it easier..
    Thanks for the reminder. We tend to forget the nice little things..
    Our brain is constantly looking for danger so our bad can protect us and that's why I guess we miss the little nice things in between..

    • @jozefff7911
      @jozefff7911 5 лет назад +3

      10 years is a long time. Did you ever get treatment for panic attacks? I've been struggling a lot with anxiety and distraction is key here. At nights it is difficult however. Hours with beating heart and wanting to crawl out of my body. Rest of family is sleeping and peaceful. Those are rough times.

    • @joeker50
      @joeker50 5 лет назад

      @@jozefff7911 I had treatment. Lots of different meds which dindt help or had to bad side effects.
      Psychotherapie a few years now.
      As soon my heart rate goes up or my nerves are on the edge I panic and I can't focus on anything.
      I tried alott in calm situations to be prepared but my mind goes blank everytime.
      No matter how many times I looked my fears in the eye, I still can't overcome them..
      Cbt has done nothing for me..
      I'm clueless

    You are such a blessing. I only found you the other day and I’ve already learned so much. My daughter gets back from Center Cor Change next week and can’t wait to watch your videos with her. I sent her a couple. I LOVE the personal way you help others by putting yourself out there. This lesson is just what my husband and I were talking about the day before yesterday, We call it “Looking for your blessings” everyday or our daily Treasure Hunt.💗Your baby is darling! Thank you! You’ve already helped us.

  • @MegF142857
    @MegF142857 4 года назад +1

    As someone who struggled with infertility and never was able to have kids, then find this video to be a bit difficult. But... I basically had the same realization in my failure to have children. That ultimately I had to find peace and acceptance and to appreciate the small moments. I began to do mindfulness, which helped me in the final attempts & accepting that my husband also did not want to adopt. So... years later when in that time your children will have grown, then I still remain childless. I still look to find the peace and most of the time can find the moments each day. I then run across a video of someone complaining about their kids... and glad that at least you realize that you should appreciate your blessings. Trust me... you don't want to change into my shoes.

    • @DarkS1ayer100
      @DarkS1ayer100 3 года назад +1

      Because of our own views. Our upbringings, etc. I've been having the same discussion with several people about the concept of joy & happiness. Why we deny it for ourselves. We feel we haven't earned it or don't deserve it. But we do. No matter where, when or how we find it. (so long as it doesn't hurt others)
      We all deserve these moments of peace & happiness. Same with love, joy, serenity... all these uplifting parts of ourselves. We put ourselves through enough in life. Taking a moment to indulge in what makes your happy, or be grateful for what you have, shouldn't be shamed or make you feel guilty, no matter what's happening around you.
      As the old saying goes...
      "The joy is in the journey, NOT the destination."

    I’d like to see more content on how to survive parent/child estrangement, it’s a really big epidemic right now. I belong to a Facebook group for parents of estranged children and we are all beyond heartbroken. I am convinced that it is the cruelest form of torture you can inflict on another human being. I have no idea how to get through this. I am no longer a mother 😔😔😔

    Thank you so much for this genuine and lovely video. This is exactly how I experience life, and it's almost impossible for me to stop the fight to improve myself/my life. I'm exhausted, can't focus, can't enjoy the ride. But now, thanks to therapy and grit, at least I'm aware and trying through ACT therapy and meditation to put this to a halt, and let go of my escapism. 😉
    I haven't found any video that addresses this topic/coping in this way. So thanks again, great work, you have such integrity, wishing you, yours, and all around the very best! 🍁🦗
