i resonated a lot with what you were saying throughout this video, i’ve also been feeling in a rut these last few weeks. thanks for the little tips, hopefully you and me both can start to feel a bit more calm, focused and relaxed soon 💜
lucy! there's a concept i love and find very comforting in the tarot. it sounds a bit woo-woo but i think it's a useful poetry to look at life through... maybe you'll find it useful, as i have x here's a simplified version: within the numbered cards of the minor arcana, odd numbers represent a growth and/or unrest, while even cards represent stability and/or stagnation. odd and even have both positive and negative qualities or feelings, but they never exist outside the bigger movement from 1 through 10 (and back again)! in this view, no period (however long or short) of stasis and stagnation, unrest and upheaval, is unproductive. it always, without a doubt, contributes to a larger momentum -- more often than not, in ways you can can only see with hindsight!
Thank you so much for mentioning not putting too much pressure on yourself. These kinds of videos usually tend to trigger my perfectionism, but this one didn't. It felt really calm and inspiring. I hope it did help you. - a fellow overthinker
i am dying at you eating a rice bowl with fork and knife 😂 anyway, these are almost exactly the things i do when i'm overwhelmed too! breaking things down to the smallest steps and focusing on that has been life-changing
i just wanted to thank you for putting this up! i’m headed into my last year at uni, writing a research paper and these tips are going to be so helpful while doing uni and grad school apps :)
Videos like this one are so valuable. Definitely some good reminders in there and also some new perspectives! Love the zooming out as in Google earth metaphor. That could help me. :)) Keep on rocking, Lucy. You‘re basically one of the three RUclipsrs I watch still and it will remain that way, as long as you‘re publishing content. Are you gonna record another video essay soon?
If anyone else is feeling overwhelmed by having lots of bid projects and things that they feel like should be happening but you don’t have the time to do them right now, I’ve found it can be really helpful to write them all out in a big list. Otherwise everything keeps bouncing around in my brain and reminding me that it needs to be done at some point. Writing it out tells my brain “it’s ok, we already have it on the list, it’s not going to be forgotten” and it makes my thoughts quieter and helps me focus on the thing I’m actually supposed to be doing. An alternative to this is if there’s something that isn’t going to take a lot of time, then maybe stopping whatever you’re doing for 15 minutes to just “do a task” and then it’s done, can also help calm the thoughts.
Words can not describe how I miss GRWMs and seasonal wardrobe videos. I can imagine that after so many of those, you've kind of moved on especially when all of the social media platforms are saturated with this type of content. But there was something about yours that I am still hanging on to them and rewatch. Religiously 💔
Lucy, you probably know it, but heart palpitations can be related to thyroid. Especially important if you have Hashimoto, maybe you need different dosage of your hormones. But it might be also just caffeine 😅
I always find your videos so relaxing and down to earth, so I would add to the list as well! 😊 I also love the advice about focusing on the next step! I have a very indecisive brain but this technique does me wonders! Another thing is to focus on the _why_ I'm doing something, instead of the _what_ .
herbal tea after brushing teeth is fine as long as you don't do mouthwash! the real problem would be tea which stains the teeth - and if you drink anything that has sugar in it you'd need to re-brush.
ideally you shouldn't drink anything after brushing your teeth - you flush out fluoride from the toothpaste - this is why you also don't rinse your mouth with water afterwards :)
@@lumosxo what i didn't know that! all my info comes from my dental hygenist who i quizzed because i am lowkey addicted to chamomile lol and she said it was fine as long as i wait about 10 minutes after i brushed before i take a sip. varying opinions i guess 🤷🏻♀️

This is really beautiful, thanks for sharing it with me! Screenshotted and saved for future me 💌

I just purchased toothpaste after borrowing my housemate's for almost a month 😅
also I take Jack's side on the tea front lmao
Mood! ^^ But, have to disagree with you on the tea. The herbs might even be beneficial for your gums. 😂

But wat if you ARE the Prime Minister?? How do they zoom out?? Worried for the prime ministers.
They should focus on being grateful to be in a position to help so many people
girl I couldn't thank you enough, this summer has been so isolating for me too, what a strange time!!
I have a thing where I can drink mint tea after brushing my teeth because it's toothpaste flavoured and I've just realised how ridiculous that is 😭😭
I’m obsessed lmao
Thank you for this! This exact video came at the perfect time for me as I have been struggling similarly recently. I’m so grateful 🙂❤️

This Video HELPED. I resonate deeply and needed to hear this. (Where is your water bottle from???)
I can relate to the coffee thing, I always forget it’s really bad with anxiety

Hey Lucy, completely random question but what make is your digital piano? I'm looking for one at the moment.. Thanks! 😊
Anyone know what type of company Hours was?
No she never quite said it.

That zooming out tip: came right at the same time. Thanks 💖
„I can’t with my mind will things to happen all at once“ needed to hear that.
This all was exactly what I needed to hear💕

Ahhh something to keep an eye on, I didn’t realise thank you! I’m not currently medicated so who knows lol

Totally with you on the herbal tea after brushing your teeth - I do it all the time! Thank you for this video too, really helpful and calming.
Im also a post brush herbal tea drinker. In my brain, so long as there's no honey/milk its fine?
This video was genuinely helpful as I gear up for another year at university. Thank you :)
I drink herbal tea after brushing my teeth as well!
exactly!! just focus on the next step. im trying so hard to do just that recently cuz idk why but i get so overwhelmed so easily
You definitely need an external monitor!
me watching this eating an oven pizza
Love the book!!!!

I wouldn't have clicked on this if I knew it was an ad
Everything is an ad these days. YTers gotta eat n pay bills too, it's easy money when you have a following so why not.
