I actually never commented any video before and I’m sorry if my English is not perfect as I’m Italian. I just want to say that I had the hardest time of my life last year, I lost my nephew, my health and my job because of it and I thought that was it. I follow you from a long time and you inspired me to actually take action on my situation and it help me so much to get motivated to pick up my life again. Please Michelle never stop and thank you!

So refreshing. One thing I’ve learned is that focusing too much on myself and spending too much time alone makes me MISERABLE. Which is counter to the generic self help narrative… focusing on others is where purpose and happiness truly lies. And yes of course you have to fill your own cup, but I think many of our cups are overflowing!

I was actually admiring the slightly darker hair before you mentioned disliking it! It looks so nice!! 😄

Omg. The fixation on feelings is the reason I stopped Daily journaling. It was making me more unhappy. I am currently trying Morning Pages and it works way better for me. Because it is a stream of conciousness, it‘s not all about the feelings but also about random stuff popping in my head. So no dwelling on hard emotions. Thanks for validating my gut feeling! 🧡

I have followed you for ages, and you were one of the first youtubers of my productivity youtube phase a few years ago! Since than, a lot happened, I started struggling more with self doubts, overwork and general life chaos. I started to put more and more pressure on myself. Often I used productivity and optimization videos almost as if to punish myself, comparing myself to very isolated standards and obsessing. I decided leaving this 'bubble' was necessary. You were one of the only youtubers I occasionally still checked out just to see what you are doing. 'Live admin days' was a concept that stuck to me and so did you :). This new wave of videos is the first one that I started to consistently watch again. It is so nice seeing you come to similar realizations as me at a similar time - productivity alone doesn't make you happy...but you can productively work on your mental attitude. That how good you are at feeling proud has a higher impact on your feelings of pride for your work, than the actual work you are(n't) proud of. Your videos are as concretely helpful as always, but with the focus on happiness and a strong mental management aspect, they are bringing so much peace and calm, long lasting motivation for me. It's great, and I feel like it is making me fall into a more sustainable motivation bubble instead of a pressure productivity bubble. Very cool to get follow the glimpses of your life that you share with us! In my head you evolved from an idealized role model to a person that is growing with me. It feels like going full circle. Thank you so much, really! I am usually one of those ghost KZfaq consumers, that do not interact. But from time to time something convinces me to say something, and now was one of the times. Thanks again! :)

Hi, I've been a loyal subscriber for years but your vibe completely changed this year and I love to see it. You seem happier and more confident, this recent video really helped me, thank you

that second habit is what I’ve been trained to do with suicidal thoughts throughout my whole journey with major depression-just see that thought and let it float on by. even though that was really difficult for many years, now I might have a thought of death or suicide pop into my head, but instead of thinking, “oh that’s so terrible that I’m thinking that! I must be getting worse!” I just think “okay, that’s there, now it can float away.” it’s honestly so life-changing, and I can’t believe I’ve never thought about anxious thoughts in that way. I will 100% be trying to do the same thing with my anxiety. I feel like my anxiety about being anxious is what I really get caught up in. thanks for the advice 💓

Habit one resonated with me so much and I've since shared it with a few friends. I also really love that you're one of the few people in this space that seem so non-individualistic. I love your emphasis on the importance of community/friendships/connection. It's wild to me that this is one of the most important aspects of happiness (and societal equilibrium) and yet it's so rarely discussed in the ''self-help'' industry!

You just consistently smash it out of the park Michelle. I don't know what exactly it is, but i always leave your videos with some go go juice to sort my life out. Thank you for all the effort you put into your channel, from a long time lurker

When a difficult feelings come up, I first recognize it: "Oh, I'm feeling anxious. I wonder why? What are you trying to tell me? Am I tired?" I recognize it, and then get curious with questions that don't really need an answer. Like if an answer pops in my head, that's fine but it's not a demand. And then I try to visualize this emotion as a person, like my best friend. Like if this emotions was my best friend and they just started reacting as the emotion is causing reactions in me, what would I think? What would I say? And I'm immediately flooded with compassion and quietness. I let them have the floor. Go ahead, feel fussy, feel too much, tell me whatever dumb, small, slightly nasty thing. It becomes a listening instead of a participation. And it doesn't feel like I'm feeling them as much as it feels like I'm allowing them space and time like how I would a friend, with complete understanding and nonjudgmental. She's Anxious, but she really just cares. She's Angry, but she's really just hurt. So of course you can stay, and of course you matter. You feel them and as you are I'm right here when you're ready to move out of it, I'm right here when you're ready to talk. Then I cruise throughout my day, every now and again, checking back in to see if Anxious is still around, or Anger, and they are sometimes, but most of the time, they feel validated and have shimmered. Sometimes they stay longer, especially Jealousy, but it all leads to openness for every part of me to have space while I still work, or hang out or do the life I have.

Never took so many screenshots on a video !! SO INSIGHTFUL❤

That first habit is the habit that I am Currently working on and I mean I have a lot of work but there’s progress. I never thought about my reactions to things until I finally went to therapy this year and she put so much emphasis on being aware of my feeling, staying calm, and being okay. I think the kid thing you explained is a great way to think about it, I practice that with my own kid and never thought I should do that with my own situations.

Every time you post something my brain just goes YEP THIS IS FOR ME!!❤

I noticed that I have to stop focusing too much on myself. Otherwise, I go into a depression rabbit hole. So, I find other things to focus on when I start getting like this. I love this video, and it is so refreshing. I love your top by the way. I love connecting with people, too, but I also love spending time alone.

this is spot on! our feelings are not often accurate and the way we react to our thoughts our feelings is within our control

This hair color is actually so beautiful with the color of the blouse you are wearing. You look radiant!

Ah, I have been saying this about feelings for so long. The theory of feeling everything as valid is a bit too much self-love, ya know? We can go too far with babying ourselves and then we don't "grow up". Part of maturing is - as you say- learning to roll with the punches and not be affected by every ebb and flow as though you are the only character in life.

The first one is already calling me out 😂 in the best way, though. You're so right. When I was younger, I went from no emotional regulation to being far better at letting feelings be feelings (shout out to DBT for that!). A couple of year ago, I was working on finding that balance between letting myself rest on bad days or whatever and just accepting them because I've found that can be a way of not feeling them too if you're too strict... but then a lot of big scary life stuff started happening all at once and I've gotten stuck in that dragged out feelings loop for a bit over a year now. I needed that reminder, so thank you!

I just binge watched five years of your videos. And I just made a very hard phone call, thanks to your inspiration. Thank you for being amazing. 😊

I have to admit that I m looking forward for tomorrow in case you post a new video :) just been watching so much of your content again and done one of your skillshare classes sunday. You are such a positive for my year 2023, you ll be in my year review haha. I have implement so much in my life thanks to your advises. I appreciate you and your content so so so very much !

I really needed this video! I’ve had a bit of an ick 2023 - I’ve made progress but I feel like I’ve been managed by other people’s expectations. Definitely going to take some of these habits forward after my late 2023 reset!

I just would like to share that I deeply appreciate your content. I really needed this video today. Thank you for making my day brighter ! ❤

This couldn't have come at a better time. Getting reflective on my time off from work and want to get a head start on next year's theme / goals - can't wait for your new year content as well!

Wow I’ve never heard that first piece of advice and I think it just changed my whole life… so glad I found your channel. SUBSCRIBED

The timing of this is really great for me - WOOP seems especially helpful.

This was incredible! Absolutely love them all, especially number one!😊 thank you for this ❤

Muchelle, you inspire me soooo much. Thank you for being such a beautiful human being. You look soooo beautiful and radiant on this video. ❤

I love the no should or musts principle! I need that! Also going to try the woop process too! Thanks for the video!

I received information about WOOP with my health insurance and was like: naaah, I don't have time. then I hear you talking about it and now I'm doing a course on it in my health insurance company :)

I can relate soooooo much to the hyper fixation

loved the video! finally not the basic habits. Sooo helpflul, i can really see myself implementing these new habits

I love your videos so much you can just see how much time thought research and effort goes into what you do! This is definitely a favourite for me! Will be applying this to help me with some habits I’d like to change!

Your hair looks beautiful, more natural 😊, great tips!

I love love love every single one of your videos!!!! Keep up the good thoughts and I'm so thankful that you share them with such openness

PREACHHHHHH! Omg!!!! I needed this wow!!! Wow! Thank you! This makes so much sense😳😳😳❤️🎉🎊

You look so happy! You're radiating it :)

You actually look really pretty in this hair color too ❤❤❤

Amazing, thank you so much for introducing me to the concept of metacognitive therapy, that is going to really significantly help me. Thank you :)

The should-ing!! Whenever I catch myself thinking that ugh I should've done A instead of B, I try to shift my focus on what can I do from now on? Because having done B instead of A is something I can no longer change, but I can still move forward from where I am currently to achieve what I want to happen.

this is off-topic, but I love the shadow/smudge root that you have going on right now! its nice for winter coming up. Would you ever go brunette again?

I needed this. You nailed it.

Really good advice, I'm going to try the woop method

I thought the darker hair was intentional! I looooove it!! 💗💗💗

Love it

I want a way to remember to do all these things. It sounds great

Always learn something with your videos ❤️
