Natacha Océane Smashed it! You always have a great energy but I can feel your excitement for 2020 and it’s contagious! Keep up the good work but more importantly continue to be your wonderful genuine self! 🤗
I'm on the verge of tears. Less than a week into the new year and I'm not feeling good mentally. This video really means a lot and serves as mega inspiration. I thank the world for people like You, Natacha ❤
you're too kind sweetie 🙏❤️ I'm really sorry you've been feeling that way recently and I'm happy this video has come at a good time for you! I'll always be here (: xxx
ahh wow thank you so much sweetie!! I spent a lot of time thinking about how to make this video as helpful as possible and what I would have found the most helpful at the time when I felt super lost. I'm glad it related to you in someway 🙏🙏❤️🙏
This hit me so hard! I think we’re all in this mindset, where we have to be the best in everything we do, that we forget who we really are and what are those things, that make us happy!
I’m going to make my 18yr old daughter watch this. No matter how many times I tell her I’d trade one of her A stars for her smile back she’s still making herself miserable with all the pressure she puts on herself.
This hit me so hard. I'm in the process of dropping out of my masters course at university because it's really not what i want to be doing right now, and it took having a full mental break at the beginning of december to admit it to myself. I'm now really focussing on the things i want to be doing. It's scary, but it's also feeling so good
if I've been anywhere it's in your position Jodie! So many emotions and unknowns but given how you're feeling now it seems like you made the right decision!! All my love sweetie and I'm so proud of you! xxx
I was in the same place this past semester! I had started school again for a year and at some point realized it just wasn't what I wanted to work towards anymore. It felt like I was disappointing others and myself by dropping out, but really I wasn't. I wanted the freedom to start working for myself and fulfill some goals. Good luck in your journey!
@@therealfitshorty thank you! Feeling like I'm dissapointing people is the thing I'm struggling with most, even though everybody has been so supportive xx
"Regret is the pain that you can't feel right now"... what a beautiful and poignant thing to say. Thank you Natacha for all of the lives you change including mine!
*I think there are a number of people that look at you, Natacha, and want to be YOU. :) You're a kindhearted person, keep being you. And to everyone else out there, you are awesome just being YOURSELF; Not anyone else.*
When I was moving back to school for the start of my senior year in September I had this idea floating around in my head, so I wrote down on my chalkboard "Set your priorities and follow through." It turned out to be one of the best semesters of my life, and I still haven't erased it. What makes me happy might be totally different from my peers, my best friends, my parents, and ya know what, that's okay. Watching this video really reminded me of that "revelation" and how important it is to set your own priorities instead of following others. Thank you for sharing and for being such an inspiration 💕💕
You're one of the kindest, most genuine, smartest and most inspirational people I've ever seen. You're so passionate and dedicated and you deserve every bit of success! Finding your videos has helped me divert my focus from physical appearance to performance and strength and it's been a remarkable mental transformation. Much love, Natacha xx
I've been overthinking all day, which has made me feel anxious. As soon as I watch this, it all went away. Thanks for giving me another perspective of looking at life
Only halfway done the video, but I have to say I 100% agree with how you said finding joy in what you’re doing is the biggest motivator. It’s so true, when you love what you’re doing even if it’s frustrating (like learning a new skill or moving your body) you’ll be able to stay consistent and actually be happy rather than disciplined and feeling bad when you fall short. Joy is everything, life is too short!
There’s an adventure time quote that goes something like “sucking at something is the first step to becoming sorta good at something” and I think about that A LOT. And I agree 100% with cherry picking! It’s important in many aspects of life, whether it’s finding your writing voice, establishing and art style, or just figuring out your habits and routines, cherry picking is a great technique/first step to understanding what works for you and ultimately figuring out who you are! Great video, looking forward to this year!!! 💛
Main Takeaways: 1. Figure out what makes you happy not what you or other people THINK will make you happy. 2. Small steps will take you a million miles. You're not supposed to be a pro the second that you start. Your're supposed to suck at the beginning. Everyone sucks when they start something new. 3. Take the pressure off yourself as it will only hide your talent. 4. Do what works for you and brings you joy rather than looking at what other people do and they enjoy. 4. Take calculated risks. Regret is the pain that you can't feel right now. Ask yourself: What's the worth thing that could happen? 5. Nail the basics: - SLEEP(7-8 hours per night) - Eating good nutrient-dense FOODS - Surround yourself with PEOPLE who empower you - Having an ENVIRONMENT that helps you think clearly Very helpful information! Thank you Natacha :)
I learnt something pretty interesting from you today. I often labelled myself as “Depression.” And I do have it and I do still take meds for it, but because I didn’t portray myself as nothing more than “Depression,” I chose people to just judge me as that. And I realized the reason why people sometimes put limits on me is because i PUT THE LIMIT ON MYSELF FIRST. I allowed people to judge me as a single card instead of a deck of cards which I am and which you who are reading is too. How I choose to do me, to love me, be me, sends a message to others on how they should treat me. It is why the men who have no money, no good looks, probably heading to jail like James Manson and Ted Bundy or even Carole fucking king, have people adoring them when they aren’t that great in any way. They have nothing to give these people...But yet they still influence others so magnetically! So. I’m no longer a victim, I’m no longer the “only one suffering and sad and suicidal.” Yes, I’m still suffering. I still cry alot. I still fucking worry all the time but gosh what a realization.
I draw so many parallels with this. This christmas was miserable because I spent the whole time revising for my biomed exams, and now I have my dissertation due next friday. Pretty intense start of the year. And since I am finishing this year I need to decide whether a masters is for me, and then a PhD, or to go to med school but I don't think I could cope with all this revising for things you forget the moment you leave the exam hall. I have sacrificed relationships for education, family holidays, socialising etc. and have been at it now for pretty much my whole life. It all comes down to whether I want to continue studying for the foreseeable future, or try and seek something else after my undergrad. I just feel like undergrads dont account for much anymore, and I'll just end up in recruitment or something else completely unrelated to what I spent 3 years of blood, sweat, and tears chasing after. Biology is my passion, and it is a shame the only route to work in that field is through exam after exam.
Natacha I wish I could really express how much I love the message you give. It is so full of balance and clarity, with intentions to truly show what matters. I appreciate how you strive to show that you're not perfect, but you have learned so much, and if your success is like this without being perfect, who knows what we all can accomplish if we just strive to be who we want, even with imperfections!
I feel like this might be one of the best if not the best video you ever made. Honestly, sometimes I feel like popular "fitness people/influencers" are so fucking fake and always talk about such superficial issues and I catch myself thinking that so many of them don't deserve the attention and success they are receiving. It is so great that you are such a contrast to it all, it honestly stuns me sometimes. I really wish more people would take you as an example when it comes to putting out actual quality content that IS HELPFUL AND MEANINGFUL AND ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTES TO SOMETHING GREATER OTHER THAN GROWING GLUTES. I know that you sure as hell are an example for me 💕 thank you for your hard work and brilliance.
Love this video so much. Honestly one of the only “become a better you” type of video that didn’t make me feel bad about myself. Actually don’t watch videos like this anymore (and “my goals for...”, “what I accomplished the past year” etc) because they don’t make me feel good. I’m someone who always thinks they need to do better and often puts theirself under too much pressure and those videos usually trigger that. Or something. But this video I did watch because it’s you and I didn’t expect you to make me feel bad about myself (calculated risk?). Happy I watched it, very helpful :)
I'm a girl who is just about as small town as you can get. From a little town in Wyoming, the least densely populated place in the United states. It's easy to feel insignificant. The idea of being "Wyoming good, but not big time good" was a common idea growing up--that no matter how much faith I have in myself here, that doesn't matter at all once I try things out in the big world. I've wanted to be a big time performer for as long as I can remember. I've been dancing and singing as long as I can remember. But because of that mentality that is pushed into us basically from birth, I spent years fully believing that that could never be anything but a lovely dream. A fantasy. And I was absolutely miserable, because there was nothing else I wanted to do. There was nothing else that gave me such pure joy. It took a lot of courage for me to say to myself, "Maybe I won't make it. But I have to try." I have a long way to go. Right now it's still just a beautiful fantasy. But I know if I don't keep going, I will regret it forever and I will fade away. Music and dancing are my dream. And I believe I can do it.
2020 is gonna be our year! It doesn't matter how many times we fail, we'll make it in the end! Thank you for being yourself natacha, you're really special
I usually don't watch these type of inspirational videos because i think they're sometimes too cheesy but i just knew i had to watch yours and i loved it. thanks for this Natacha, you're truly amazing.
That's exactly what it has been going on in my life for 4-5 years. I put way too much pressure on myself regarding university, until the point I developed an anxiety disorder and panic disorder. I finally believed I could get over it and I went to a therapist last year, but I damaged my mind and my psyche so much always thinking I'm stupid and not good enough. It started comparing myself to other students and it shifted to comparing myself to a distorted image of what I should have been, and that's poisoning. To everyone reading this comment: keep working hard but try to shake a little bit of pressure off yourself. It's not easy to always believe in yourself but failing something doesn't mean you cannot try again next time and it doesn't mean you are not good enough.
this hit so hard for some reason. absolutely love this and i absolutely love natacha, she never fails to make the best videos out there which are not only relatable but also very realistic and raw. you're one of my biggest inspirations
This is wonderful and exactly what I needed. I decided to get back into road cycling and took it to the extreme after Christmas (riding 55 miles in two workouts). Well, let's just say I hurt myself enough to have to go to the doctor yesterday. You know you messed up when you doctor says, OMG!!! So, I have an extreme injury that I need to mend, but I'm not giving up. I spend a lot of $$$ on this bike, and haven't been riding outside for years. It's been on a trainer inside, so it's the most expensive indoor bike of all time. I know that I will get back out there and take baby steps the second time around. Thanks Natacha for being the Angel that WE all need. Love you!!! :-)
This is why I love you Natacha!! You're so different from other fitness influencers. I've learnt a lot about myself in 2019 after a bad break up (both relationship and friendship wise) at the start of the year, and I'm still learning lots about myself at the start of 2020. I met you very briefly at the Gymshark Manchester event and I wish I could've said more to you - I think I was a bit starstruck! You've inspired me to try new things, and what you said about "you're supposed to suck" rings so true for me. I started volleyball a few months ago and I totally suck but I enjoy it so much and can't wait to see how I progress. I'm planning on picking up rock climbing again, as well as trying my hand at your Build program to mix up my current training a bit more. I have such a good feeling about this year :)
I have been trying so hard to do all the things that you are talking about and I feel great when someone else talks about going through the same processes.
I was a medical graduate and i studied biochemistry in first year in medical school , thank you for sharing your personal journey and thank you for inspiration.
*does anyone else like to envision and write down the person they've always wanted to step into?* I totally did this for 2020 in my journal and I'm feeling totally excited!
I come back to this video every couple of months because I need the reminders. I have a big decision to make and I have been trying to assess the risks; this video is always comforting. 😌
I cannot put into words how much I needed this video! As a Grade 11 student who wants to start an interior design business but feels like I should go into the sciences just to “impress” others, your words really reassured that you shouldn’t feel guilty pursuing what you love
What I love about this video is how it truly applies to each individual person and who THEY want to be. I see so many videos with a similar title telling you what you have to do to be the person society wants them to be (thin, educated, rich, etc.). This is just really insightful and refreshing
I was in a pretty bad car accident a few months ago and have felt so much pressure to not take time off of school or working towards my goal of getting into medical school in a couple years to allow myself to get better. Keeping up with this pace of things that I fee like I should be keeping up with has had me constantly feel so unbearably stressed. Just listening to this made something click and give me a sense of inner peace that just made my eyes water a bit. Thank you.
This video was absolutely perfect for me. You nailed topics so hard. Drew me in from the beginning talking about "difference between what others thinks you should do and what you actually want to do." Beautiful.
I see myself in you. The whole stress thing, pushing myself too much, the urge to be the best and competing with myself... Thank you! You are an absolutely inspiring person, I love your videos and thank you for everything, you are trying to tell us!
You are the most inspiring person in this whole world. Can’t even describe the motivation and pure joy your videos bring ❤️ thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I felt your pain at 6:00 when you almost started crying! Panic attacks and anxiety are so painful and you’re right about removing that pressure from ourselves.
I just discovered Natacha's channel and wish I had discovered it years ago! She's so genuinely and humbly inspiring, thoughtful and eloquent. I admire Natacha's willingness to trying ANYTHING! I was a ballet dancer for many years and was so unwilling to try other styles of dance and mobility that I think it hindered my training. Watching her nail those chaîné turns as a first-timer (and with a huge smile on her face!) made my heart sing! I was laid off from my job last week and am in a period of deep contemplation about what I truly want to do with my life. I'm grateful for all your advice and am taking it ALL to heart. *THANK YOU, NATACHA!!!* ❤️❤️❤️
This just made me rethink all the decisions I made so far. After an awful 2019, this is exactly what I needed to kick off a new beginning, Honestly you are an eye-opener. Thank you ♥️
Hello, Natacha There have been ups and downs in my life and I have always tried to stay postive but when you surround yourself by the wrong people the positivity vanishes... However I am so gratuful of the situations I have been put through , I wouldn't be at this place in my life right now. So I decided to change. New things do change you and some challenges are needed in our lives. This video makes me realise that we do need to escape from reality sometimes to understand if we need something or something is missing in our lives. I am in that place right now and definitely I am not sorry for my actions and decisions. I have been watching you since 2018 and I am so grateful that I found you! I have tried most of your workouts from your channel but I wanted more. Finally I decided to become member of the programs you make! "Restart" is kicking my ass and I am glad I started it ! You are part of changing the game in my life! Thank you! Thank you for you content and for keep motivating us! Thank you for who you are as a personality! Love you! 💛💛
Thank you fir sharing your story that you didn't regret, that just goes to show you that things can be a surprising thing you never know meeting someone new and it's okay to go through bad moments because it's a lesson learned
You have been the biggest inspiration and support to me the past month and I've never even met you - it's all through watching videos you recorded before I knew you existed. Thank you so much. I am so grateful to you.
i loooved this video natache. dont know why this one doesnt have as many views because it is so insightful! thank you for making this i look up to you so much and appreciate everything you put out
This really hit me, spoke straight to my heart. I started a doctoral program a couple of months and have been feeling everything you described and like I'm being chipped away by the pressure I'm putting on myself. I was meant to come across your channel last week, go down a rabbit hole of watching your videos, to end up at this one
This video could not come at a more perfect time. I was going to write down some of my goals for this year, and this is a perfect aid in helping me do that. Thank you natacha for always posting amazing videos that are so enjoyable to watch 💜
ahh thank you so much Nicole!! I'm glad this came at the right time for you!! All my love always and hope you're having an amazing start to the year!! xxx
This is exactly the advice I have been looking for. Feeling like a failure because I cannot seem to get it together. Well...I realized I am doing everything everyone else expects of me. I ma not doing what works for me!! Thank you thank you thank you!!
ahh thank you so much! I guess this video is more about mental health but I think lifestyle etc. is all integrated (: thank you so much for watching 🙏 all my love sweetie xxx
Hell, this is relatable. Currently trying to figure out if I actually genuinely want to do a PhD and how big the "CV, reputation and expectations" slice in the motivation cake *really* is. My head just might explode. Thanks for the tips and sharing your experiences! Much appreciated :)
Daedhalus P.T. Phd is tough, you’ll have good day and bad days, days were you don’t want to continue, lots of tears, lots of failures. You have to be mentally prepared for it. The reward at the very end is amazing but is ask yourself if this is what you really want. I know some people who started doing a PhD because they wanted a “doctors title” but they dropped out because they were not prepared for it. Think about it first :)
I am watchng this right now and feeling so relieved, you have no idea. So grateful to you for being such an inspiration; you might have just changed my opinion of myself which may change my life now. Wow. Thank you
Natacha you are so inspiring in every way. you are my role model for the woman, athlete, and overall human i'd like to become one day. i used to have a horrible relationship with food. I grew up athletic and could eat whatever i wanted but when i stopped i had gained weight and got caught in the diet cycle. it was horrible. i was focused more on aesthetic and the appearance of my body rather than its health. BUT finding you and your videos has shifted my perspective and now i want to BE STRONG and capable of so many things. i hope you realize how many lives you are positively impacting by being here and doing this, Natacha. You are truly an angel, and I appreciate you lots. Lots of love from LA! xoxo
This is a video I really needed, I have a lot I aim to accomplish this year and I need all the advice I can get!! I hope you have a lovely week Natacha!! 💖
You made me cry in just 5th mintue of this video. It was like, my whole thinking method about finding "THIS" in my life, about gaining experience and knowledge to reach kind of goal, has changed! I was thinking my whole life (I am 19) "I need to be perfect at the beginning" and now I am going ot give myself a chance to mess up and I am not going to be mad, I will accept it as a stage in proces. I wanted to just say thank you
Thanks so much for this. I'm 31 and my husband and I broke up during the holidays. So I decided that 2020 needed to be the year of getting better for myself. Today I started BUILD. because I want to love my body and feel stronger. I'm also focusing on my wedding photography business, trying to grow it and become financially independent (I wasn't allowed to work in the US until last February so I have no savings) and want to find a new place in the country to call home, because I've never really liked it here that much. And I love how you put the emphasis on the people who we surround with, I have no friends and I'll do my best to find myself a group of people I love. Thanks so much again ♥️
You’re so genuine and sweet and kind. I feel like The health community on RUclips has become very inauthentic but I admire you and the way you care for others. Thank you for this.
This was really needed thank you! I'm currently struggling with my phd, instead of being exactly the thing that I have always wanted I constantly have to prove myself to others. After watching this I realise that I have forgotten who I want to be and how to get joy out of the things I do.
This was so much more motivating than any "Don't wish for it, Work for it" phrases and it actually took so much pressure off of me in an instant. Have tried to tell myself that I need to get back in shape after having lost a lot of pounds two years ago and having enjoyed food and life too much since then that I had to get back to that shape.
natacha is honestly one of the most influential and heartwarming youtubers to watch because of how purely genuine she is, she is so passionate about so many things and she motivates me to be a better person. thank you natacha I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everybody's purpose is to help others be the best version of themselves. The feeling you describe, of when you help someone believe in themselves and achieve something, feels good to literally everyone. As long as they tried it once (not everyone has), they will know. What differs from person to person is how you can actually help other people that way. The how is important, rather than the why. So it's basically asking yourself: how can you serve? What can you actually do for others? Then, once you find that, you make a decision - this is your purpose.
ahh I wish I had the time, I so would have! I used to tutor for JK Educate if you needed really good tutors everyone there is super well qualified (: xxx
When I see a life path 9 reach a point of transformation and happiness, that makes me the happiest person on earth because it confirms that we reach a "place of nirvana". And nobody else can understand it, but when we cultivate that wisdom, we can then pass on our knowledge to those going through the motions as well. Thats what the 9 is all about, teaching what we have learned in this life time. We can seriously be so happy with that. Finding research and finding out the mysteries of the universe and understanding how things tick... we can seriously be so happy with that. Much love to you life path 9.
you've got it sweetie, with Chemistry it all about understanding the fundamentals (the periodic table and moles) and you can work everything else out from there (: xxxx
I’m late to the Natacha party, but I definitely say “better late than never”. This video (and many of your videos) speak to me so much. This one was needed! I put so much pressure on myself and it’s so hard. Deciding what you want to do is so hard. I’m so happy to have found your channel and think we need more inspirational, positive, REALISTIC people in the world. It sounds silly, but your videos remind me that looking up to someone does not mean I have to compare myself to them. It’s very hard, but possible! It’s also so important to focus on what works for someone you do look up to might not work for you and IT’S OK! I look forward to more videos! 💕
This is so our year, you have no idea 🥰🙏💛
Yesssss🔥🔥🔥
You make me believe in that! Thx! And I just love you!
This is such an amazing and inspiring video😍😍
Natacha Océane Smashed it! You always have a great energy but I can feel your excitement for 2020 and it’s contagious! Keep up the good work but more importantly continue to be your wonderful genuine self! 🤗

ahh wow thank you so much sweetie!! I spent a lot of time thinking about how to make this video as helpful as possible and what I would have found the most helpful at the time when I felt super lost. I'm glad it related to you in someway 🙏🙏❤️🙏
I think it's just because it's so sincere.
crazy little fighter so so hard
Same she is so lovely.
This hit me so hard! I think we’re all in this mindset, where we have to be the best in everything we do, that we forget who we really are and what are those things, that make us happy!
lovely and true words Eva! You're so right, thank you so much for sharing 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Eva Prosen it hit me hard too
“It’s okay if you suck in the 60th lesson” been needing to hear that for a while. 💕 Thank you

"surround yourself with supportive people"
2020: Stay home, do not see anyone, avoid humans at all costs
“I thought I was becoming the person I thought I was supposed to want to be.” WOWWW. That resonates deeply with me.

"When you get that feeling YOU JUST KNOW. Your body and your soul knows". That's the more accurate I definition I've heard
"Regret is the pain that you can't feel right now"... what a beautiful and poignant thing to say. Thank you Natacha for all of the lives you change including mine!
*I think there are a number of people that look at you, Natacha, and want to be YOU. :) You're a kindhearted person, keep being you. And to everyone else out there, you are awesome just being YOURSELF; Not anyone else.*
When I was moving back to school for the start of my senior year in September I had this idea floating around in my head, so I wrote down on my chalkboard "Set your priorities and follow through." It turned out to be one of the best semesters of my life, and I still haven't erased it.

I've been overthinking all day, which has made me feel anxious. As soon as I watch this, it all went away. Thanks for giving me another perspective of looking at life
Only halfway done the video, but I have to say I 100% agree with how you said finding joy in what you’re doing is the biggest motivator. It’s so true, when you love what you’re doing even if it’s frustrating (like learning a new skill or moving your body) you’ll be able to stay consistent and actually be happy rather than disciplined and feeling bad when you fall short. Joy is everything, life is too short!
There’s an adventure time quote that goes something like “sucking at something is the first step to becoming sorta good at something” and I think about that A LOT.
And I agree 100% with cherry picking! It’s important in many aspects of life, whether it’s finding your writing voice, establishing and art style, or just figuring out your habits and routines, cherry picking is a great technique/first step to understanding what works for you and ultimately figuring out who you are!
Great video, looking forward to this year!!! 💛
You a writer? I'm a wanna-be one who's looking for support. ☺
Main Takeaways:
1. Figure out what makes you happy not what you or other people THINK will make you happy.
2. Small steps will take you a million miles. You're not supposed to be a pro the second that you start. Your're supposed to suck at the beginning. Everyone sucks when they start something new.
3. Take the pressure off yourself as it will only hide your talent.
4. Do what works for you and brings you joy rather than looking at what other people do and they enjoy.
4. Take calculated risks. Regret is the pain that you can't feel right now. Ask yourself: What's the worth thing that could happen?
5. Nail the basics:
- SLEEP(7-8 hours per night)
- Eating good nutrient-dense FOODS
- Surround yourself with PEOPLE who empower you
- Having an ENVIRONMENT that helps you think clearly
Very helpful information! Thank you Natacha :)

They have nothing to give these people...But yet they still influence others so magnetically! So. I’m no longer a victim, I’m no longer the “only one suffering and sad and suicidal.”
Yes, I’m still suffering. I still cry alot. I still fucking worry all the time but gosh what a realization.
I draw so many parallels with this. This christmas was miserable because I spent the whole time revising for my biomed exams, and now I have my dissertation due next friday. Pretty intense start of the year. And since I am finishing this year I need to decide whether a masters is for me, and then a PhD, or to go to med school but I don't think I could cope with all this revising for things you forget the moment you leave the exam hall. I have sacrificed relationships for education, family holidays, socialising etc. and have been at it now for pretty much my whole life.
It all comes down to whether I want to continue studying for the foreseeable future, or try and seek something else after my undergrad. I just feel like undergrads dont account for much anymore, and I'll just end up in recruitment or something else completely unrelated to what I spent 3 years of blood, sweat, and tears chasing after.
Biology is my passion, and it is a shame the only route to work in that field is through exam after exam.
Natacha I wish I could really express how much I love the message you give. It is so full of balance and clarity, with intentions to truly show what matters. I appreciate how you strive to show that you're not perfect, but you have learned so much, and if your success is like this without being perfect, who knows what we all can accomplish if we just strive to be who we want, even with imperfections!
I feel like this might be one of the best if not the best video you ever made. Honestly, sometimes I feel like popular "fitness people/influencers" are so fucking fake and always talk about such superficial issues and I catch myself thinking that so many of them don't deserve the attention and success they are receiving. It is so great that you are such a contrast to it all, it honestly stuns me sometimes. I really wish more people would take you as an example when it comes to putting out actual quality content that IS HELPFUL AND MEANINGFUL AND ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTES TO SOMETHING GREATER OTHER THAN GROWING GLUTES. I know that you sure as hell are an example for me 💕 thank you for your hard work and brilliance.
Love this video so much. Honestly one of the only “become a better you” type of video that didn’t make me feel bad about myself. Actually don’t watch videos like this anymore (and “my goals for...”, “what I accomplished the past year” etc) because they don’t make me feel good. I’m someone who always thinks they need to do better and often puts theirself under too much pressure and those videos usually trigger that. Or something. But this video I did watch because it’s you and I didn’t expect you to make me feel bad about myself (calculated risk?). Happy I watched it, very helpful :)
I'm a girl who is just about as small town as you can get. From a little town in Wyoming, the least densely populated place in the United states. It's easy to feel insignificant. The idea of being "Wyoming good, but not big time good" was a common idea growing up--that no matter how much faith I have in myself here, that doesn't matter at all once I try things out in the big world. I've wanted to be a big time performer for as long as I can remember. I've been dancing and singing as long as I can remember. But because of that mentality that is pushed into us basically from birth, I spent years fully believing that that could never be anything but a lovely dream. A fantasy. And I was absolutely miserable, because there was nothing else I wanted to do. There was nothing else that gave me such pure joy. It took a lot of courage for me to say to myself, "Maybe I won't make it. But I have to try." I have a long way to go. Right now it's still just a beautiful fantasy. But I know if I don't keep going, I will regret it forever and I will fade away. Music and dancing are my dream. And I believe I can do it.
2020 is gonna be our year! It doesn't matter how many times we fail, we'll make it in the end! Thank you for being yourself natacha, you're really special
I believe you sweetie!! We will make it in the end and the road is always bumpy (: All my love always xxx
I usually don't watch these type of inspirational videos because i think they're sometimes too cheesy but i just knew i had to watch yours and i loved it. thanks for this Natacha, you're truly amazing.
It is crazy how much you have lately changed my whole mindset. And definitely in a positive way, I am very grateful, thank you so, so much!
you're welcome sweetie!! I'm glad it's been in a positive way!! All my love sweetie!! xxx
That's exactly what it has been going on in my life for 4-5 years. I put way too much pressure on myself regarding university, until the point I developed an anxiety disorder and panic disorder. I finally believed I could get over it and I went to a therapist last year, but I damaged my mind and my psyche so much always thinking I'm stupid and not good enough. It started comparing myself to other students and it shifted to comparing myself to a distorted image of what I should have been, and that's poisoning.
To everyone reading this comment: keep working hard but try to shake a little bit of pressure off yourself. It's not easy to always believe in yourself but failing something doesn't mean you cannot try again next time and it doesn't mean you are not good enough.
Been thinking all day about whether or not I'm becoming the person I want to be. Haven't watched yet but looking forward to in the morning 💜💜
ahh I'm here for you Amina!! I really hope this video helps sweetie! All my love xxx
Your bad trip story is so powerful! Sometimes worst case scenario happens and leaves _no regrets_ behind. I have never ever thought about it!
this hit so hard for some reason. absolutely love this and i absolutely love natacha, she never fails to make the best videos out there which are not only relatable but also very realistic and raw. you're one of my biggest inspirations
This is wonderful and exactly what I needed. I decided to get back into road cycling and took it to the extreme after Christmas (riding 55 miles in two workouts). Well, let's just say I hurt myself enough to have to go to the doctor yesterday. You know you messed up when you doctor says, OMG!!! So, I have an extreme injury that I need to mend, but I'm not giving up. I spend a lot of $$$ on this bike, and haven't been riding outside for years. It's been on a trainer inside, so it's the most expensive indoor bike of all time. I know that I will get back out there and take baby steps the second time around. Thanks Natacha for being the Angel that WE all need. Love you!!! :-)
This is why I love you Natacha!! You're so different from other fitness influencers. I've learnt a lot about myself in 2019 after a bad break up (both relationship and friendship wise) at the start of the year, and I'm still learning lots about myself at the start of 2020. I met you very briefly at the Gymshark Manchester event and I wish I could've said more to you - I think I was a bit starstruck! You've inspired me to try new things, and what you said about "you're supposed to suck" rings so true for me. I started volleyball a few months ago and I totally suck but I enjoy it so much and can't wait to see how I progress. I'm planning on picking up rock climbing again, as well as trying my hand at your Build program to mix up my current training a bit more. I have such a good feeling about this year :)
I have been trying so hard to do all the things that you are talking about and I feel great when someone else talks about going through the same processes.
This came up in my recommended, and I think I just found a new favorite RUclipsr! You’re lovely, thanks for the inspiration!
I was a medical graduate and i studied biochemistry in first year in medical school , thank you for sharing your personal journey and thank you for inspiration.
*does anyone else like to envision and write down the person they've always wanted to step into?* I totally did this for 2020 in my journal and I'm feeling totally excited!
That's a great idea, thanks for the tip
Me tooo
@@ikeepgettingbetter do you journal? :-) you're welcome!
@@Thefitty I literally bought one the other day, any tips?
@@ikeepgettingbetter yes! Write out your mentions for 2020! I've done mine.
I come back to this video every couple of months because I need the reminders. I have a big decision to make and I have been trying to assess the risks; this video is always comforting. 😌
me questioning my whole life well
I've been there too my friend ❤️❤️
I cannot put into words how much I needed this video! As a Grade 11 student who wants to start an interior design business but feels like I should go into the sciences just to “impress” others, your words really reassured that you shouldn’t feel guilty pursuing what you love
Honestly you are so inspiring. You’re so pretty, goal orientated, and nothing stops you. It’s so amazing to see you grow.
What I love about this video is how it truly applies to each individual person and who THEY want to be. I see so many videos with a similar title telling you what you have to do to be the person society wants them to be (thin, educated, rich, etc.). This is just really insightful and refreshing
This has literally opened up my mind and outlook of life in such a helpful way I never knew I needed
ahh thank you Zoe! I'm so happy it did (: all my love always xxx
I was in a pretty bad car accident a few months ago and have felt so much pressure to not take time off of school or working towards my goal of getting into medical school in a couple years to allow myself to get better. Keeping up with this pace of things that I fee like I should be keeping up with has had me constantly feel so unbearably stressed. Just listening to this made something click and give me a sense of inner peace that just made my eyes water a bit. Thank you.
This video was absolutely perfect for me. You nailed topics so hard. Drew me in from the beginning talking about "difference between what others thinks you should do and what you actually want to do." Beautiful.
I see myself in you. The whole stress thing, pushing myself too much, the urge to be the best and competing with myself... Thank you! You are an absolutely inspiring person, I love your videos and thank you for everything, you are trying to tell us!
You are the most inspiring person in this whole world. Can’t even describe the motivation and pure joy your videos bring ❤️ thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I felt your pain at 6:00 when you almost started crying! Panic attacks and anxiety are so painful and you’re right about removing that pressure from ourselves.
You are reading my mind. This is exactly what I needed to hear.
you're welcome sweetie!! if there's anything else you wanted me to cover feel free to let me know (: xxx
I just discovered Natacha's channel and wish I had discovered it years ago! She's so genuinely and humbly inspiring, thoughtful and eloquent. I admire Natacha's willingness to trying ANYTHING! I was a ballet dancer for many years and was so unwilling to try other styles of dance and mobility that I think it hindered my training. Watching her nail those chaîné turns as a first-timer (and with a huge smile on her face!) made my heart sing! I was laid off from my job last week and am in a period of deep contemplation about what I truly want to do with my life. I'm grateful for all your advice and am taking it ALL to heart. *THANK YOU, NATACHA!!!* ❤️❤️❤️
I've spent hours with a therapist and you concluded the most important things in this video. What
Frikkin love you and your message, Natacha!
This just made me rethink all the decisions I made so far. After an awful 2019, this is exactly what I needed to kick off a new beginning, Honestly you are an eye-opener. Thank you ♥️
Hello, Natacha
There have been ups and downs in my life and I have always tried to stay postive but when you surround yourself by the wrong people the positivity vanishes... However I am so gratuful of the situations I have been put through , I wouldn't be at this place in my life right now. So I decided to change. New things do change you and some challenges are needed in our lives. This video makes me realise that we do need to escape from reality sometimes to understand if we need something or something is missing in our lives. I am in that place right now and definitely I am not sorry for my actions and decisions.
I have been watching you since 2018 and I am so grateful that I found you! I have tried most of your workouts from your channel but I wanted more. Finally I decided to become member of the programs you make! "Restart" is kicking my ass and I am glad I started it ! You are part of changing the game in my life! Thank you! Thank you for you content and for keep motivating us! Thank you for who you are as a personality! Love you! 💛💛
This was so inspirational and motivating. I loved it and put it on my playlist so I can rewatch it when I feel lost or down. Keep up the good work!
ahh thank you so much sweetie!! it'll always be there for you! xxx
Thank you fir sharing your story that you didn't regret, that just goes to show you that things can be a surprising thing you never know meeting someone new and it's okay to go through bad moments because it's a lesson learned
This year I want to be successful in my career! Just started a temp job today and hoping it will lead to bigger things ♥️
ahh Sash I really believe in you!! All my love sweetie xxx
Best of luck!
You have been the biggest inspiration and support to me the past month and I've never even met you - it's all through watching videos you recorded before I knew you existed. Thank you so much. I am so grateful to you.
Love this
This is so perfect. Thank you. I think it is important to separate "I should" from "I want".
Tu es vraiment une des personne les plus censée, bienveillante et sage que j'ai le bonheur d'écouter 🥰 merci et bonne année a toi ✨
C’est gentile mais ,je ne pense pas que elle peut parler français 😩😂😂
@@hannahmaria3351 ses grands parents vivent a Nice et sont français si je me souviens bien 😉
Le français est sa langue maternelle donc ça ne devrait pas poser de problème :)
Le français est sa langue maternelle donc ça ne devrait pas poser de problème :)
i loooved this video natache. dont know why this one doesnt have as many views because it is so insightful! thank you for making this i look up to you so much and appreciate everything you put out
HECK THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED and what I was thinking about a looot lately 💭 thank u 💜💜
ahh you're welcome Clara!! I really hope you find it helpful!! All my love always xxx
This really hit me, spoke straight to my heart. I started a doctoral program a couple of months and have been feeling everything you described and like I'm being chipped away by the pressure I'm putting on myself. I was meant to come across your channel last week, go down a rabbit hole of watching your videos, to end up at this one
This video could not come at a more perfect time. I was going to write down some of my goals for this year, and this is a perfect aid in helping me do that. Thank you natacha for always posting amazing videos that are so enjoyable to watch 💜
ahh thank you so much Nicole!! I'm glad this came at the right time for you!! All my love always and hope you're having an amazing start to the year!! xxx
This is exactly the advice I have been looking for. Feeling like a failure because I cannot seem to get it together. Well...I realized I am doing everything everyone else expects of me. I ma not doing what works for me!! Thank you thank you thank you!!
Yes!!! Just the title of this video is so motivating. Thank you for all the work you put in educating people about fitness.
ahh thank you so much! I guess this video is more about mental health but I think lifestyle etc. is all integrated (: thank you so much for watching 🙏 all my love sweetie xxx
you have no idea how badly i needed to hear this right now! thank you for sharing and caring ❤️
Finally got to buy “move” your workout plan!! Will update on how it goes!
Day 1: loving it so far!
i have seen sooo many youtube videos (more than a thousand i am sure) but this is honestly one of the best i have ever been lucky enough to see!
Hell, this is relatable. Currently trying to figure out if I actually genuinely want to do a PhD and how big the "CV, reputation and expectations" slice in the motivation cake *really* is. My head just might explode. Thanks for the tips and sharing your experiences! Much appreciated :)
Daedhalus P.T. Phd is tough, you’ll have good day and bad days, days were you don’t want to continue, lots of tears, lots of failures. You have to be mentally prepared for it. The reward at the very end is amazing but is ask yourself if this is what you really want. I know some people who started doing a PhD because they wanted a “doctors title” but they dropped out because they were not prepared for it. Think about it first :)
@@ache2741 100% agreed. Trust me I'm thinking about this a lot but the decision doesn't seem to come easy :/
I am watchng this right now and feeling so relieved, you have no idea. So grateful to you for being such an inspiration; you might have just changed my opinion of myself which may change my life now. Wow. Thank you
"small steps will take you a million miles" - natacha océane
Natacha you are so inspiring in every way. you are my role model for the woman, athlete, and overall human i'd like to become one day. i used to have a horrible relationship with food. I grew up athletic and could eat whatever i wanted but when i stopped i had gained weight and got caught in the diet cycle. it was horrible. i was focused more on aesthetic and the appearance of my body rather than its health. BUT finding you and your videos has shifted my perspective and now i want to BE STRONG and capable of so many things. i hope you realize how many lives you are positively impacting by being here and doing this, Natacha. You are truly an angel, and I appreciate you lots. Lots of love from LA! xoxo
This is a video I really needed, I have a lot I aim to accomplish this year and I need all the advice I can get!! I hope you have a lovely week Natacha!! 💖
ahh I believe in you so much Admir!! Wishing you all the success!! xx
same!😂
Natacha Océane Thank you so much for the kind words Natacha, they truly mean a lot to me!! I’ll do my best, and I wish the same to you!! 🥰
Kati Shapatkovskaya 😂 It’s never easy to achieve our goals, but you can do it! 😊
You made me cry in just 5th mintue of this video. It was like, my whole thinking method about finding "THIS" in my life, about gaining experience and knowledge to reach kind of goal, has changed! I was thinking my whole life (I am 19) "I need to be perfect at the beginning" and now I am going ot give myself a chance to mess up and I am not going to be mad, I will accept it as a stage in proces.
I wanted to just say thank you
from my heart. You inspire me to be better without having to try so hard x
small steps Akira! Lots of love sweetie xxx
Had a really rough day today but this and a suggestion from a friend really helped thank you so much for sharing yourself with the world
I'm halfway through my law studies and starting going to the gym again after injury recovery! This will definitely be our year❤
Thanks so much for this.
I'm 31 and my husband and I broke up during the holidays. So I decided that 2020 needed to be the year of getting better for myself.
Today I started BUILD. because I want to love my body and feel stronger. I'm also focusing on my wedding photography business, trying to grow it and become financially independent (I wasn't allowed to work in the US until last February so I have no savings) and want to find a new place in the country to call home, because I've never really liked it here that much. And I love how you put the emphasis on the people who we surround with, I have no friends and I'll do my best to find myself a group of people I love.
Thanks so much again ♥️
Just what I needed to start 2020, the year I’m going to get my BA degree and become the best version of myself ✨💞
ahh amazing Eleanor!! I believe you will!! All my love xxx
You’re so genuine and sweet and kind. I feel like The health community on RUclips has become very inauthentic but I admire you and the way you care for others. Thank you for this.
Great video for the start of 2020!! Well done. P.S. I actually cried
This was really needed thank you! I'm currently struggling with my phd, instead of being exactly the thing that I have always wanted I constantly have to prove myself to others. After watching this I realise that I have forgotten who I want to be and how to get joy out of the things I do.
If there is anyone I could be it would be Natacha 😂 she’s so positive and kind
This was so much more motivating than any "Don't wish for it, Work for it" phrases and it actually took so much pressure off of me in an instant. Have tried to tell myself that I need to get back in shape after having lost a lot of pounds two years ago and having enjoyed food and life too much since then that I had to get back to that shape.
"Your ghost of Christmas Past, your ghost of Christmas Present..." LOL
natacha is honestly one of the most influential and heartwarming youtubers to watch because of how purely genuine she is, she is so passionate about so many things and she motivates me to be a better person. thank you natacha I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"All my plans went to shit" LOL #relatable
Everybody's purpose is to help others be the best version of themselves. The feeling you describe, of when you help someone believe in themselves and achieve something, feels good to literally everyone. As long as they tried it once (not everyone has), they will know. What differs from person to person is how you can actually help other people that way. The how is important, rather than the why. So it's basically asking yourself: how can you serve? What can you actually do for others? Then, once you find that, you make a decision - this is your purpose.
i’m doing french and biology a-level, i NEED you as a tutor, girl! 😂💛
ahh I wish I had the time, I so would have! I used to tutor for JK Educate if you needed really good tutors everyone there is super well qualified (: xxx
Natacha Océane i bet you really enjoyed it! omg thank you, i’ll definitely check it out!🥰xxx
Hands down fave video of yours im at 7:00 and had so many lightbulb moments already! You's a G!
Hey girl 👋
My first time being sooo early.
I love how you say “I know”
Love the accent 👍
ahh thank you so much sweetie!! I hope you're having an amazing start to your week!! All my love xxx
Taking small steps ❤️
When I see a life path 9 reach a point of transformation and happiness, that makes me the happiest person on earth because it confirms that we reach a "place of nirvana". And nobody else can understand it, but when we cultivate that wisdom, we can then pass on our knowledge to those going through the motions as well. Thats what the 9 is all about, teaching what we have learned in this life time. We can seriously be so happy with that. Finding research and finding out the mysteries of the universe and understanding how things tick... we can seriously be so happy with that. Much love to you life path 9.
literally learning about mol's right now in chem -_-
you've got it sweetie, with Chemistry it all about understanding the fundamentals (the periodic table and moles) and you can work everything else out from there (: xxxx
@@natachaoceane Thank you! You're so sweet.
I’m late to the Natacha party, but I definitely say “better late than never”. This video (and many of your videos) speak to me so much. This one was needed! I put so much pressure on myself and it’s so hard. Deciding what you want to do is so hard. I’m so happy to have found your channel and think we need more inspirational, positive, REALISTIC people in the world. It sounds silly, but your videos remind me that looking up to someone does not mean I have to compare myself to them. It’s very hard, but possible! It’s also so important to focus on what works for someone you do look up to might not work for you and IT’S OK! I look forward to more videos! 💕
I’m early!!! I hope everyone has a beautiful year 😊😊😊
Haha same! And happy new year to you as well!
Thank you sweetie!! Right back at you ❤️❤️❤️
I actually cried. Your words resonated so deeply, and exactly when I needed it. Thank you, you're amazing
