As a fellow Oregon/Christian/holistic/reading lifestyle girl I love your content it’s refreshing and joyful. I know I would love to see like holistic lifestyle swaps and even more Christian content. I just hope you know how valued and loved you are !!!

I deleted my social 2 years ago only use messenger from FB as now you don't have to have access to FB to have Messenger so that's briliant as I live in UK but all my family is in Poland so I don't have a choice unfortunately 😑 Only use YT for podcast or my fav yt creator's. My life changed so much that I'm more peaceful. Don't need attention from strangers to like my photos is so stupid for me I never understand idea of Instagram. I highly recommend trying if you spend more than 6h on socials ❤

The walk with the bird is so cute! Animals are the best! I am way more comfortable around animals than I am people. I appreciate you sharing some of your story/journey with your mental health. It helps me not feel so alone. Thank you for that!

Faith!!! I haven’t finished the video yet but WOW! This is so vulnerable and real and helpful. Thank you for being so open to share this experience. It is such an inspiration to me and I loved hearing about your therapy. I also struggle with putting expectations on myself and pushing myself to be healed when it takes more time.

First of all, thank you for sharing your heart so vulnerably with random peeps on the interwebs. lol Second, you are speaking SOOOO much of what has been part of my own conviction the last year. The overconsumerism, the desire to return to simplicity, and finding our satisfaction in Christ alone. I'm praying deeply over you right now that you would feel Christ's love for you SO SO overhwlemingly. That all distractions would fall away and that you would be able to feel how present He is in these moments with you and gives you clarity on how He wants you to walk forward. He is so so good. He is our friend. WHAT A GOOD GOD!! Gosh, this video blessed me. Thank you again! All the love, sister! ❤❤❤

I love when content creators have these raw moments because I can understand wanting the aesthetic life they portray and comparing yourself to others and their accomplishments it’s one of the reasons I don’t go on fb anymore. I feel we always want something and it’ll make us happier but then we aren’t being happy we’re using things to make us feel that emotion. Self reflection is hard because you have to face hard truths but in the end it’s good for our growth. I appreciate you for always being so open vulnerable and raw with your mental health keep up the self work Faith ❤

Love this. I also have found that social media is draining. I only do KZfaq now, but sometimes even that can be too much. I'm on a similar journey as you in terms of taking control of my physical and mental health, so listening to your honesty and experience was really nice

Adriene’s 30 day yoga journeys are incredible! She also puts out monthly calendars for each month which are so helpful for sticking to a habit. I’ve just started my third year of daily practice thanks to the help of Adriene!

I’m so happy that you’re doing better ❤ I really felt what you said about your family and being afraid to show your needs. You’re in my prayers ❤ Edit: I’ve reached the end and I feel the same about spending and abut needing more things. You’ve really touched my heart with everything you said at the end, thank you for bringing me back to reality ❤

I deal with comparison a lot. As far as comparing how many likes I get on social media or how many followers someone else has comparison is really a struggle for me. I also get struggling with feeling everything on a whole new level, I’m currently going through the process of getting a diagnosis. My counselor thinks it may either be OCD or adhd

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm in a similar situation & I'm trying to work through it. The past 2 weeks I've prioritized my time with God & I am now looking forward to it every day & I'm excited to read the Bible!! I've been reading through the book of John, & after every chapter I listen to a sermon on it because I want to absorb as much as I possibly can 😅 Watching this video also made me realize what I'm choosing to idolize & put before God... so thank you for that. 💖

Love all of this so much! I have been having lots of trouble around medical doctors and traditional therapists not meeting my needs also. I would love love love to go the holistic route, but I am scared of it costing a lot. Can I ask if these treatments and therapies were covered by your insurance?

@faithsreadingthings 2 ай бұрын

I’m sorry to hear that:( the therapies are but the NMD is not and my Dr. Charges anywhere from $80-$180 per appointment depending on what it is you are needing/how long the visit is, etc.

@robingoodman8960 2 ай бұрын

FYI, depending on your situation and to a certain degree you may be able to do a tax write off for your books and certain items if it's for your channel! I'd recommend looking into it and what documentation you'd need to keep.

@17ehg 2 ай бұрын

Food for thought: sometimes you not exactly want “more”, but actually want “other stuff fast”. Not sure if you have this habit but one thing that I do is to sell books also. This way I am always buying books but maybe not accumulating that much. Sometimes one book that you read like two years ago is less important now and it is easier to let it go. I do have a lot of physical books in my home TBR, but I think that that’s because I sell the one that I have already read. I know that this don’t solve the issue that your are addressing here, but sometimes it is something that you can do to feel better.

@faithsreadingthings 2 ай бұрын

I totally agree!! And I usually do cycle through stuff and have been getting rid of more that I don’t think I care enough about to keep. I’m also just trying to use the library more and other free resources that also support my community 🥰

@17ehg 2 ай бұрын

@@faithsreadingthings it is wonderful to see that you are also trying to go more to libraries. I confess that last time I was in one I was still a student, but I used to love them. I will try to get inspired by you and try to get this habit again.

I'm currently trying to have a sort of social media detox. A few days ago my phone said I was on TikTok for 5 hours in one day and on my phone overall for 8 hours. Like what the heck was I doing lol?? So I've got an app downloaded that doesn't allow me to open TikTok or any other social media of my choosing until a certain time is up. I set it to 10 hours from when I wake up. So only social media in the evenings when I actually allow myself to relax. It's really helped me so far. I know I can't just scroll on my phone during the day so it immediately deters me from picking it up and I end up actually doing the things I planned and wanted/needed to do lol. I can't commit to fully deleting it yet, I have FOMO for some reason lol but this is the next best thing.

That’s so smart!!! It’s so easy to get caught up in it that we don’t even realize how deep in we are lol. Proud of you for that!!🤍

I deleted all of my instagram and Facebook photos because I didn’t like how it made me feel. My mood depended on how many likes and comments I got and it all felt so superficial and shallow that I posted only when I achieved something or if i wanted to show off. I hated that side of myself and what it all did to my head.
