At the time of posting this video, wildfires are devastating LA County. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this tragedy. As I mentioned in the video, I started my social media journey as a sustainability creator-an everyday person who believed (and still believes) in the importance of protecting our planet. While sustainability isn’t the main focus of my content anymore, it’s still a cause I care about deeply. These fires are a heartbreaking reminder of how we (and by we, I mean big oil and its adjacent billionaires) have failed to prioritize our planet. But through the power of collective action and compassion I still believe we can still make a difference.

Whooaaa, the “Maximizer” discussion, functional freezes, and bullying yourself RESONATE SO MUCH with me! I’m speechless. Definitely going to carry this forward and work on not being so hard on myself on days when I feel unproductive, even if just to recognize what is going on in my head. Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you for helping me realize that I am also a maximizer! I strive to be productive, thinking it's a good thing, but sometimes it causes a crippling feeling in my whole body, and then I functionally freeze. ❤
Yes, me too. It occurs to me this is the reason I struggle with e.g. Asos if I'm after anything generic like a T-shirt. 64687 options you say, even after filtering? My brain will stubbornly obsess over looking at *every* option. I try to keep it under control but honestly I have started to be grateful for shops with very constrained, well-curated options 😅
Yes, this is exactly my struggle as well lol. Online shopping is a blessing and a curse. On one hand I love all the options, on the other hand I hate scouring the internet for days to ensure I've reviewed every possible selection. By the time I actually buy something I'm just exhausted haha. I told David the other day I kinda miss the days when our options were limited to just whatever we could find in the store.
11:26 this was a good reminder for me. I took this week off work to be productive on a bunch of different house projects, and did kind of alright on that front, and then Thursday morning I got hit with a TMJ migraine and I’ve been down for the count since. It’s been frustrating the past two days thinking about all the stuff I wanted to do but physically can’t, but right now my best really is just rest. Maybe tomorrow will be better
Ahh TMJ migraines are the WORST. I have been in this exact scenario and the frustration is unparalleled. You're just sitting there thinking "I wanna do this, this, this, this" and your brain is just literally pounding and all you can do is lay there - ugh, definitely a "my best is rest" scenario. I hope you're feeling better now. 💛
Sending you so much love 💕. I’m so sorry you’re going through this, but I'm glad I could provide even a small bit of comfort during such a tough time. If there's anything I can do - any organization or GoFundMe I can donate to or share - please let me know, I would love to help.
@@morganevelyncook Thank you so much! There is a google sheet with over 800 gofundme's of people affected by the Eaton fire, it won't let me share it here but getting more eyes on the list would be SUPER helpful.
oh man memory recovered. I used to get a rave light as a teen and have it go with techno music in the shower and hype myself up to get ready for the day. My showers are very much chill now.
*showering you with love and affection in an appropriate way* 💕🚿 I am a new subscriber and very happy to have found this lil comfort zone, (hi everyone!) thank you for all the time and effort you pour into your videos, Morgan!
I work from home, and your suggestion to take a walk in lieu of commuting is brilliant. I'm adding that to my routine this week. I typically take a walk at lunch, but having a way to snap out of work mode and start relaxing is just genius.
Lunch walks are great too - they always leave me feeling a little more energized for the second half of the day. But yeah the end of day walk I almost never miss - so crucial for switching into evening mode. I hope it helps you too!
Agree with terrible puzzle box design, who does that??! The 2 box halves are an integral part of the puzzle doing! Recently discovered your channel and I’m here to stay, loved this in particular! Sending much perfectly appropriate love and affection from the UK 😁
Right?? You leave the picture part standing so you have a visual guide, and the bottom holds the pieces - why are we messing with tradition?? Glad you enjoyed though! And thank you for the appropriate love and affection 🥰
Coupling comfy w/ uncomfy is clutch. When I started ultimate Frisbee I forced my friend to join a rec league with me. 15 years later, I’m still playing and it’s introduced me to wild experiences I wouldn’t have otherwise had.
when i think about my thoughts i think of my bedroom being very untidy with a hole in the middle and the thoughts fall into my eyes and then i can say what i'm thinking so the cloud makes a lot of sense to me
I love these chatty videos so much and you are such a breath of freash air! Thanks for this video! I have had to adjust to a life with chronic illnesses so working with a thought process around rest being productive is ongoing journey for me! also.... showering you with love and affection in an appropriate way all the way from the UK
I very much appreciate the appropriate love and affection and I'm sending it right back at ya 💕. Adjusting to a chronic illness is so tough - wishing you all the best as you navigate it. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
You seem to be doing well lately. So happy for you. PS- I have a plastic food storage container that I use while doing puzzles if the box doesn’t open into a container. 😊
Hi. Sorry to bother but can you disable auto dubbing for your videos (unless you have some kind of metric saying many people use it and I'm the only one complaining haha)? Its a feature only creators can disable and every time I click on your videos I have an awful AI voice in my native language that i have to go to settings to put back the original audio. I hope RUclips lets us disable this on the client side of the app/website soon
Hi! Omg I had no idea! I disabled it in my default settings - I'm not sure if this turns it off for videos that I've already uploaded, but it should disable it for any future videos!
If only there was a way to micro goal pregnancy….every time I think about it I freak out and want to hide under my covers. 😂 We want to start trying soon and I’m literally so terrified. Wish there was a way for a stork to deliver them after their potty trained. Lol
OMG same! I guess the micro goals still apply because you don't have to do everything all at once. I keep freaking out about this, too, because I already think about future obstacles or problems. It won't come out as a cheeky toddler or difficult teenager, though. You have years to adjust to the situation and new role. At least, this is what I tell myself. 😂 Good luck!

the title being average advice is so real hahaha
Ya know, it’s important to manage expectations lol
The most practical advice ever
Morgannnnnn I fucking LOVE your videos, I hope you remember the positive impact you have on your viewers when you're feeling low xxx
I appreciate the energy of this comment so much - thank you!!
That scene of you in functional freeze. Omg. So familiar. Including getting off the couch, to your feet, and then just......
Thank you.
Glad (but also sorry) that you get it 😅😂

I could watch videos of you chatting and doing cozy hobbies all day.
Thank you! I'm watching this video in a functional freeze watching my hometown (Altadena, CA) burn down. It helped.
Sending you so much love 💕. I’m so sorry you’re going through this, but I'm glad I could provide even a small bit of comfort during such a tough time. If there's anything I can do - any organization or GoFundMe I can donate to or share - please let me know, I would love to help.

I’m sure your housemates much prefer it this way😅
Perfect balance of relatable and aspirational and thank you for your wonderful vibe
Aw thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed 🥰
*showering you with love and affection in an appropriate way* 💕🚿 I am a new subscriber and very happy to have found this lil comfort zone, (hi everyone!) thank you for all the time and effort you pour into your videos, Morgan!

Your recommendation of pairing uncomfortable things with comfortable things was really helpful. Thanks!

"stop focusing on things you cant control" wow thanks, needed that one. 😅😅😅
You seem to be doing well lately. So happy for you.
PS- I have a plastic food storage container that I use while doing puzzles if the box doesn’t open into a container. 😊
love it! i have fairy lights in my shower too ♥️ i hope this year brings your mental and emotional rest and happiness
That puzzle!
😂
Puzzles get us through the cold, useless winter in Maine.
Thank you for this cozy and lovely chat 😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed :) Thank you for watching!

I’m early for once! Happy Friday!
Happy Friday!! 🤗
😮 fairy lights in the shower!?! How has this never occurred to me!?! ❤🤯
May your showers never be the same again ✨

doing an uncomfortable hobby(my job) while watching this at midnight
The most uncomfortable of hobbies - I'm glad I can keep you company during it 💛

🧡🧡🧡
What I got from this video is I need a dog,
I think this is an excellent takeaway
Also I may or may not be naked 🫣 this is top tier RUclips viewing.
