What I like about Anna's weekly therapy videos is that instead of just explaining, she also provides actual steps we can act on to improve our mental health. I'm truly grateful for that.

"One day I got bored, so I put everything on a bagel. All my hopes and dreams, all my school report cards, all my pain, and of course poppy seeds, onions, and salt. Then it caved in on itself and created this"

It does not make you a bad person to believe that you are deserving

OMG, NEW HAIR!

I'm saving this and watching this REPEATEDLY. This is hitting me at a crucial time in my life.

Don't let YOU be the limiting factor for your positive progression.

I love your new hair, Anna. I really needed to hear this advice today, and I'm aiming to think more positively. We're so used to thinking negatively, but we're capable of more than we know.

Lmao I have used the "poverty is in my bloodline" before 😅🤣 Didn’t know it was a self sabotage so thanks for the advice

I've suffered from PTSD due to childhood trauma, anxiety, and depression... but therapy really helped and I'm entering what I call my "Season of Joy". I am looking forward to the opportunities and possibilities that the future holds. Remember that you are worthy of love and happiness. Healing is not linear. And that you can do this!

I’m so grateful for your commitment to learning how we work and making the ideas accessible to everyone. Keep up the hard work!

How did I see this right on time??? I was crying my eyes out just a minute ago and now I feel really comforted. Thank you ❤️

This is the therapy in-between my therapy sessions that I need. Thanks Anna and the new hair is 🔥🔥🔥!

For months, I've been trying to prepare for a YCS (Yu-Gi-Oh Championship Series tournament) back in my home state, which I haven't been back to in 2 years. But I kept self-sabotaging my training because of overconfidence and, subconsciously, feeling like I didn't deserve to, and couldn't, travel there and win. Because it would be a massive change to my status quo, and part of me isn't ready for that change, I think. My point's that this was a pretty timely reminder that there's some stuff in our heads that needs addressing, and thanks. And your hair looks good.

this is what I've been feeling lately. thank you Anna...like always, you're amazing💕

Your videos are always helpful, but this one has to be the most helpful in a good while. Also, congrats on your new book

I spent the last 3.5 years of my life drowning my own demons in a more positive outlook in life, basically following these steps, though taking the time to observe sunrise and sunsets. It's been a long hard road, but I started to see results after about 18 months. The self assurances got easier, I was able to believe what I was saying just that little bit easier, I was reviewed with kindness and positivity at work. I started to see real life changes in my workplace, and my interactions with friends. but enough about me, I love the new hairdo. Thank you for all your helpful videos. I've been able to put names to my issues because of your hard work. I've been able to properly explain my neuroses to my friends, thanks to your wonderful videos. Thank you Anna.

I needed this in a big fat way! Thank you, Anna!

This came just at the right time. Thank you, Anna!

This was exactly what I needed to hear today.

your videos come on my feed every few months and somehow each time it's something that i need at that moment .. idk if the youtube algorithm can read my mind or we are spiritually connected but this was much needed rn

I didn't know this was the thing I needed to hear battling with my inner demons and inner voice, thank you ❤️

thank you anna! this is exactly what i was needing to hear right now!

I love love love this kind of content. This is exactly what I needed to hear right now and it’s always presented in such a pleasing and professional manner.

Thanks Ana! This serves as great motivation to continue changing old beliefs and habits!

Great to see you Miss Akana!!

Wow thanks for this! I needed this especially going through midterms and not doing the best my self esteem has taken a huge nose dive!

Self talk is so important, thank you for this reminder to continue to focus on this.

These videos are so great!!! Making mental health techniques accessible and digestible for everyone!

Thank you Anna, for breaking it down and adding imagery. You are wonderful.

I needed to hear this today to divert a spiral i was starting to go down. Thanks Anna.

Know your limits, and work around them. Thanks for the reminder, Anna!

This is great! I’ve lately been practicing reprogramming my past habits and ways of thinking that isn’t beneficial to my growth and manifestation! This vid coming out only reassures me more to keep up with the practices! Thank you for all the information and reassurance!

This was perfect timing. I've been wondering what has been holding me back from achieving my fitness goals and self sabotaging. The helplessness area really fits.

thank you anna for the free therapy I needed this, dunno when I started having hopelessness and helplessness but this made me understand myself and what’s been happening to me and why I’ve started having zero initiative on things I used to be motivated to before. thank you so much

I need to watch this 5 times and take notes.. oh my god. this hit me at the right time in my life.

Thank you for your videos, I really appreciate your content! :) this hair color looks really gorgeous on you as well!

Exactly what I needed to hear today!! Thanks!

i had to rewatch the first two minutes cause i was too busy swooning over your hair. it's gorgeous!! wonderful advice, as always. x

wow, this is it, the things I knew deep down but couldnt put words on it. Thank you

I really needed this today after receiving lots of rejections from my top schools

anna needed this so much today, havent had the best day

This was fantastic! I've let limiting stories like this hold me back for decades. Learning to let go is a long process but so worth it.

One of Anna’s best advice videos

I really should start practicing this, by telling myself positive stuff out loud while looking in the mirror like once or twice a day. Thanks Anna, for the extra push as always!

I always like your videos fine but this one really hit on some stuff I’ve been thinking on and dealing with lately. Thanks for putting out what I needed to hear when I needed to hear it

A good way of putting it. I like this. I feel like you aren't overselling yourself.

This is great! Celebrities you often hear were convinced they would make it big, and they worked til they did. Not that everyone can be a celeb, but we could all take a page out of their book regarding tenacity.

Thanks for sharing the word was so worth it and it's well packaged breaking stereotypes and setting people free.

this is really what i needed to hear today

Seriously, those 3 things are exactly who I am. I need to start thinking more positive. Thank you much anna!

You’re the friend I always wanted!❤

The colors of your videos are really pretty 😊. I think I struggle with "helplessness" the most, I sometimes believe that there is a wall preventing me from connecting with others, or that I don't have the "vitality/motivation" everyone else seems to have and that it is why I can't achieve a lot of things.

Great stuff, thank you. I needed to hear this today.

Thank you, Anna 🥰

Excellent topic, well spoken from a lovely woman. Thanks Anna, your vids are super motivating for me

I'm so lucky that I subscribed to ana. love you babe ❤️

This is nice, I will say though a larger part of the struggle is in addition to these thought paths, I also struggle with lacking dreams and direction for them in general

anna that hair colour looks amazing on you!

Wow i need to hear this - the timing is exactly right

Enjoying how short n concise these videos are.

This is huge. Epic post bro

Well done! Thank you!

THANK YOU ANNA I LOVE YOU 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

I love when you break down reality. Feel like I’ve been in a liminal space for so long

LOVE THE NEW HAIR COLOUR

I needed this so much, thank you.

I'm feeling all 3 lately. I really enjoy these short therapy sessions.

I need to rewatch this every month

Thank you for making your videos ❤

oh my god Anna you came out swinging with the hard hitting good advice this time, holy crap

Oh My! Anna, you're my so wonderful Thank you for making such valuable content

Anna makes our days better

Forever bringing me what I need when I need it 🙏🔥💖✨

Your hair looks so gooood!!!

Keep up the awesome content

Love the vid and the new hair 💙

I never comment but Anna your hair looks so fire

I definitely agree in having a positive attitude. I just hope that someone who watches this realizes that we live in a world and communities and families that actively go against these ideas. That is to say, the onus in not just on the individual to “improve” but really we should be demanding more of our community and governments .

Beautiful editing

Really Really love this!

Your videos are so beautiful and such efforts have been put to aesthetics, but that’s just Cherry The Cake is Your Content ❤❤❤

This couldn't have come at a better time for me

It's important to note that while this kind of thinking definitely affects your behavior and how you interact with the world, that does not mean that these thoughts fundamentally affect the reality of the challenges we face. Positive thinking isn't going to solve climate change, or wealth inequality. I only point this out because a lot of people, upon learning how powerful thinking is, apply the concept incorrectly and do what some call 'spiritual bypassing', a process in which someone avoids confronting an existing problem by trying to think it out of existence.

Thank you once again, these videos are very helpful 👍🏾

Excellent, thank you!

Pinpointing always and nevers!!! Yesssss

Love the groovy font!

Awesome job anna

Wow this one cut deep. No wonder I avoided watching it😅. But I needed to hear this, and imma watch it every damn week so I don't slide back into old thinking!✌️✌️✌️

Thank you! Period ❤

It's kind of crazy how often I start crying during Anna's videos that go deep to self-belief issues

Wow. I'm actually dazzled by the hair color. I had to comment just to really hear the contents which is good. Thanks.

Definitely fall into the worthlessness category, and in the past I did rely a lot on self-deprecating vs self-appreciating, particularly for humour sake. But I'm slowly starting to pivot away from that into a more positive mindset, granted, it's taking years and lots of therapy, and I still have a long way to go. But it's really worth it

Why do I connect with this so much

Thank you universe. Got your message loud and clear. I will apply to jobs after I'm done earing soba

For some people changing their own thoughts about the self is enough. For others, getting into how they started those thoughts works for them. And some need an outlet to practice thoughts into action during their work towards changing thoughts. I like Anna.

This one was especially fire 🙏

Great stuff, thank you.

Priceless advice.

Loving the new hair
