👏🏼 THIS 👏🏼 VIDEO 👏🏼 SHOULD BE #1 ON TRENDING! 🙌🏼

"There is no JUST being a stay at home mom." Thank you. 8:33

I am a therapist and regularly ask my clients to use positive affirmations the help change their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. One thing I would encourage is to not only be mindful of how you speak to and about yourself but also how you speak to and about your children. I think you are incredible parents and also have to admit that whenever I hear you say “you’re so naughty” to one of the kids I worry about how they internalize that and then say to themselves. Thank you for sharing about mental health! Ellie, I hope you have found a wonderful therapist in Logan. If you’re looking for one I’ve got a referral for you. 😊

That was brave of Bree to talk to you about that. What a good friend.

Hearing the truth from family/friends is so different for a person you’ve never met. Thank you for being kind, but also having some tough love. Everyone needs that sometimes...💕

Best Bollie video hands down. Thank you for saying what all of us say to ourselves everyday

Thank-you for this! ❤️ It's been something that I have been struggling with alot lately, I feel like I'm at a point in my life where I just feel stuck, and because I'm stuck I beat myself up! I needed to hear this ❤️

Ellie’s honesty was so relatable and really made me realize it’s okay to need help!! As a mom it’s so hard to put yourself first and come to the realization that hey I need help I’m struggling I have to put myself first to take care of others!

I really relate to Ellie! I started to tear up when she started to cry because I know how she feels. Thank you for this video. I need some positive affirmation in my life.

Something in my heart was telling my to get on You Tube. I needed to see this. I need to make the change. I'm emotional because I know how true this video is between work, infertility, life etc. I cant wait for my husband to get home so I can rewatch it with him, this changed my day. Thanks girls! I really hope ya'll realize what a positive influence and support system you are to so many people who you've never met.

YES! I struggle so much with insecurity and it comes out in negative self-talk and negative thoughts. My hubby noticed and said, I'm gonna stand with you in this and you have to repeat these declarations over yourself. So every night he helps me with my declarations and it has done WONDERS for how I look at myself. So glad to hear you ladies be more kind to yourselves! ♥️ You ladies are beautiful in and out!

Omgeeeez girls I needed this today. I have been under so much stress between work and family. I really believe Our Heavenly Father sent me this video today. I have been helping take care of my in-laws for a while now and today I just came home instead of going to their house. I have 6 sister inlaws and they are not helping at all. Plus my job is really stressful bit in a good way. Ellie CRY hard when you want. Bonnie you are so right about serving. BIG HUGS to you both and thank you for this.

Wow. I'm crying. You have got this. We have got this. Thank you so much for this. Sending all the love from Edinburgh sweet ladies ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️

Yay Bree, for being honest ! Sometimes we are our worst enemy. But now that you all are aware of the issue, you can work on getting rid of the negative self talk ! Yippee ! You guys are awesome 👏.

I feel like God used both of you to get this message to me because he knew that I wouldn't learn it any other way...and I watch you girls and your channels on the daily. Thank you for this truth🙏 I have had a negative person in my life for years, and I've been affected by it so much but have never ended the friendship because I didn't know how. My husband pointed out how it's been affecting me, and I've learned after this video that I really do need to make the change because if I don't nothing else will change. I really needed this and thank you for sharing ♥️ love you girls!

Thank you so much for sharing this. Brought me to tears multiple times. I need to start changing some things.

Love this! I’m a teacher and I often hear my students say negative things about themselves. Children follow by example and say things they hear adults say and I knew it needed to stop. I know I say negative things about myself a lot and I became more aware of that. I found an interesting tedtalk to watch with my students that talked about positive self affirmation and it made a difference. Still a daily challenge but they realized what it did to their mental health and self esteem. Also whenever I’m comparing myself or unhappy about a situation, I tell myself that I have a good life, not perfect, but have achieved success despite my background and situations. Makes a huge difference when you are positive.

More women need to practice this. I’m one of those women. The biggest thing for me is learning that I can’t control others or what they do to me but I CAN control how I react to it. Here where we live there is so much negativity. I kind of think different parts of the world actually has a mindset of its own. I have been other places and seen more positivity in the hardest of situations. There’s so much to be learned and when you get to the point that you think you have learned it all then your mind just sits, feelings are turned off and you don’t grow. We have to keep growing. Thank you so much for all the hard work you girls do in helping others everywhere.

I really needed this video. My husband and I are in a rough tough spot with each other and this is the kind of things and talks we need to be having with each other. Thank you. 💗💗💗

Bonnie you are beautiful inside and out and I enjoy your enthusiasm for life and the genuine love both you and Joel share very inspiring!!!

This is probably my most favorite video you have ever made. Definitely something I truly needed in my life❤️

My goodness this video came at just the right time! Nothing like the stress of moving and unforeseen expenses to make me be so negative and unkind to myself. Thanks ladies💛 I really needed this and the encouragement to be nice and kind to myself.

Hi! I have watched this video so many times. I just want to say that it is SO important that your Christian viewers hear that you are followers of Christ, as well. Especially those of us who are struggling, as Christians. It's wonderful to see and hear that we're not alone, as followers of Christ, in having negative thoughts or overwhelming anxiety. Thank you for being open as you can, especially on the internet where there is a lot of hurtful comments. God bless.

I don’t say it out loud but constantly think negatively about myself. Eye opening, good talk.

I am going to try and feel as beautiful as my husband thinks I am. I will refuse to accept anything but a loving relationship with my daughter by marriage. I am not going to replace food for FEELING-even when it's heartbreak. I will say thank you at the end of everyday in my journey of life and just remind myself I will not live forever-don't waste a moment of the blessing-look for the reason God has brought me to that place-TRUST HIS PROMISE of guiding me to where I need to go. THANK YOU to you both-you're changing women for the better-one vlog at a time. 💛💛

I love this video so much! The tongue is so powerful. We need to speak life over our children too - tell them they are beautiful and confident and brave and smart. They will become what they hear and what they believe. And they are learning from us! If our little girls grow up hearing mama saying, “I hate my hair,” or “I’m so fat,” they’re learning to think those things of themself too. We need to teach them that we love ourselves because we are beautifully and wonderfully made. 💕

Yes! Yes! Yes! I couldn't agree more with this! Your thoughts shape your reality. Two people could be in the exact same situation but the way they describe it or relate to it is totally different. Only because they choose which thoughts to focus on. So, in any situation we are faced with, we always have a choice on how we show up. That is the choice each of us must make everyday. To focus on the positive, to declare the positive and very soon that positive is the reality. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change!!!! Scary, true and up lifting.

Thank you for this. Toxic self talk was an issue I thought that I had conquered a couple years back, but it has resurfaced. It is definitely a scary mindset. Like you've said before, Bonnie, we need to restart. I'm going to be kinder to myself so that I can be kinder to others.

GREATEST VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN. Not yelling, rejoicing! ❤️🤗 Thank you ladies for always being open, honest and Raw. Love your families tremendously!

thank you so much for sharing this and being vulnerable. you both are helping so many people with this video and I admire your honesty. ❤️❤️

You girls are awsome. We need to remind ourself to be more positive everyday. Love you ❤

I just want the both of you to know that your amazing & beautiful on the inside as well as the outside!! You need to have faith in yourselves as you do in Christ Sometimes easier said than done I know. I love how open and raw this video is it's truly inspirational💕

This totally reminds me of a technique my therapist taught me which is called self compassion. We are so quick to criticize ourselves when we make mistakes and then look to others and hold them responsible to make us feel better. We know exactly what we want those other people to say, and if they say the wrong thing or if it’s not the right wording we get ticked. So self compassion focuses on holding ourselves accountable for making us feel better. Basically you think of something that really makes you upset, find where in your body you feel that pain (wether it be your heart, your head, your stomach..), place your hand there, and tell yourself what you’d say to someone else in your situation or what it is you want to hear like “it’s ok” “I know it’s hard” “you’re doing the best you can and that’s good enough”... love yourself and be compassionate.

I seriously needed this video soooo very much! So much in which it brought me to tears!!! I was offered a new job today and the change is hard and the transition will be tough but change is good!!!! I will be watching this video a million times

Pl do more of these videos or part -2 of this.. it's really helpful.. thank you. Thank you. Looking fwd.

I look up to these sisters. They are one of my inspirations on to be a better mom.

Ladies!! Yes! I’m so happy that you discussed this🥰 I think a lot of moms can relate to this!! Including myself💕

In the 23rd Psalm when David writes "You (Jesus) prepare a table for me, in the presence of my enemies" It reminds me that Jesus has a place for me, an intimate place for he and I to sit together. And for a long time I allowed the enemy to sit at the table and I listened to that negative voice instead of the voice of Christ in my life. But when I realized I was giving the enemy a seat at my table where Jesus was supposed to be, my life changed. Jesus wants to show of His glory in our lives, thats why even in the midst of the chaos, he is there preparing a place for us. The book Goliath Must Fall was a game changer for me. As well as the Passion City podcast. I felt weights lifted and chains broken as I began to listen to the voice of truth in Jesus and believe what He says about me. That I am chosen, I am beloved, I am enough by the grace of Christ.

I'm 14 almost 15 this has changed a lot for me. Thank you for this.

Thank you both so much for this video. I’m also going through a really hard time. And it’s so difficult to open up about this because there’s still such a stigma around mental health and being seen as “weak” or lesser than for seeking help. But every time a strong, beautiful person speaks out, it inspires everyone else to see it IS normal, and it can get better.

This video was AMAZING!! 👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you both for being so vulnerable!! And Ellie, you are strong!! I have been dealing with severe anxiety for many years (no medication) and have been seeing an awesome therapist here in Hawaii for about 3 years now and it has changed my life. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Plus you have been going through so much medically (which I can also relate to). I felt your heart in this video and I just want you to know you’re strong, you’re beautiful, you’re smart, and you’ll overcome anything that comes your and your family’s way. 💪🏼🙌🏼💕will be praying for you guys!

Bonnie & Ellie, I needed this today. I so flipping needed this today. I am a stay at home mom to two beautiful kiddos, one with special needs, and today, I was about ready to throw my hands up in the air. I suffer from Anxiety, PTSD, and Depression and there are days where I feel all of those negative thoughts that I can't do this, I'm failing, etc. I don't even have the right words to form to thank you for this beautiful video.

Finally! Thank you, Bree for telling these women what they needed to hear. I watch you critic yourselves when I watch my make up videos and I think if these beautiful women think that about themselves then what does that make me. But no! We need to all stop thinking so negatively even though it is a difficult habit to break!

I will love myself for all I am and I am worthy! 🦋🙏🦋

Until you allow yourself to be vulnerable change cannot happen. And you guys have made yourself vulnerable and you will see change cuz of that. As a whole we all need to do this. Thank you for sharing. Good luck to you guys

I’m so grateful I learned these lessons as a kid. My parents were very PRO affirmations. I see this in my son and I hear feedback from my students and their parents how I am continuing to pass that on. I’ve learned, thru art, a few ‘tricks’ to help process change...which has changed my life...pun intended. You women are awesome, thank you for your ❤️❤️

I love this!! I'm motivated to create my own affirmations. I have to say Bonnie, I think this will not only be so powerful for you, but also for Olivia. It is so obvious how much she learns from you in the cute ways she talks and her mannerisms. When she sees and hears mom being loving to herself she will more likely taken that on as well. Love you guys!

I just really truly love you two!! Thank you for the reminder! Positive affirmations are so powerful! You are both beautiful inside and out! ❤️❤️❤️

I really needed this today! It’s been a rough few days. I have one more year of college before applying to a nursing program. I had some slips causing my gpa to not be amazing. I have a 3.3 but the average is 3.6. I felt mad at myself. But.: my grandma always tells me something “your thoughts are not your own. They’re God’s!” Every time I think of that I always know I wouldn’t ever tell god that he made something dumb, ugly, etc. so why should I do that to myself, his creation? It always helps me:) maybe it’ll help someone else

Crazy how I got here after Ellie and Jared’s new video. I am so thankful for you Ellie and Bonnie

Shout out to Bre, she seems like a dream.

LOVE LOVE LOVE you girls. I can relate 100%. Mental health is no joke, and having a spouse plagued by mental health is the hardest! It takes hold of the person you love , and it is heartbreaking. Hang in there and never feel ashamed to seek help. Everyone should talk to a therapist ... I’ve grown tremendously as a human in the few years I’ve seen mine. Xoxoxo

I'm happy for you guys that the comments were turned off, too. I always saw the toxicity in the comments and worried about my favorite vloggers and the effect it could have.

Love this! Very good encouragement to make some for myself :)

I just have no words! This is coming at the best time. I have been in transition with myself and trying to take better care of myself. Thank you so much for your honesty and vulnerability, it’s EVERYTHING. So proud of you both and excited for you. My affirmations as a rough draft: -I am great at my job. Sometimes I compare myself or get down on myself if something doesn’t go as planned. I want to remind myself that I am meant to be doing what I am doing, I am good at it. -I actively think before I speak. Sometimes I don’t think enough before I speak and I can hurt people or leave them unsettled. I want to work on this and be intentional with my choice of words. -I treat my partner as a king. I have taken him for granted and been thoughtless at times and I want to put the effort in to serve him and support him.

I’d love to see you two do a video with Bri. She seems like such a sweet, uplifting friend.

I wrote a whole list of positive affirmations! I needed this! Just like you both, I didn’t realize the negative self talk I’ve fallen into. It’s not good. Thank you for reminding me! And thanks to Bre who started the conversation. You ladies are great! Can we be bffs pls!?

Bonnie its so interesting that you feel self conscious about your parenting style because its the thing I admire the most about you. I love the way you speak to your kids and hold them to a high standard. I’ve always looked up to you as a mom. People can say what they want but the proof is in the pudding. Look at the way your kids behave compared to other kids now a days....

I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for making them. It feels like you two and Katie always come in the right time to remind me about things in my life that either need to be changed or I need to focus on more. Because sometimes, or very often, we struggle. Struggle with life and anxiety and other people's opinions that shouldn't matter to us but they do. Making a change within yourself is much harder then going around and blaming others for your misery, but it's soo soo worth it, and it's the most effective way of changing your life. Start within. So thank you for these gentle reminders, keep bringing them to us. Lots of love xxx

I was so drawn to watch this video and I can see why. So many things you both said I really needed to hear. Thankyou so much for been so venerable, so open, so honest. It felt like we were just sitting down having a beautiful chat between girl friends! You are both so beautiful inside and out 💕

Love this video!! Thank you ladies for your realness!! Posive Affermations have been a game changer for me these last 2 year after dealing with some huge losses. I am definitely gonna take the tip and record myself saying them. I normally just read then out loud or listen to affirmationpod

My dad always says “It’s not a goal until you write it down.” Loved this whole vid ladies!!💕and dear Ellie, you are not stupid for reaching out. You are strong. It is easier to stay silent. It takes strength to speak up.❤️

Thank you Ellie and Bonnie for making this video. This is just what my heart needed to hear today. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your deep emotions. I can see how much you really care and want to help others. Love, a fellow mom of three boys! 💙💙💙

What a great advice you just shared!! First of all thank you for being so courageous and share this here. It takes a lot to open up about your feelings. I also struggle with anxiety and listening to you helps me be a better person knowing that I’m not alone and that I can take some steps to change. I’ll start with “I am happy with the stage in life I’m right now” , “I take actions everyday to improve my mental health”. Thank you girls, I love you!

God bless you both. You both have such good hearts and thank you for being so transparent. I needed to hear a lot of the messages you shared in this. I cried with Ellie when she cried because I relate to how she's feeling. It's a constant bickering back in forth in my head, why do I feel this way, I have so much, ect. Love you guys!

I loved this video! I started a mantra years ago. “I am powerful, courageous and strong. Nothing can defeat me.”

Thank you for being vulnerable. You’re both such an inspiration on so many levels. I love watching your channel.

Seriously, thank you! This came just on time.. I'm feeling so down and empty and I don't know why asking for help always feels weird and odd but it does! I hope we all can find peace that comes from within.

I cant believe how big of an issue this is. It helps a lot to see that feeling down is not a solo ride. It is nice to know that everyone experiences this and there are people out there trying to help us feel better. Thank you for making this video. You are both strong and beautiful.

Thank you ladies for sharing! Being vulnerable is not easy but you are helping so many people right now. God bless you! I personally made a list of affirmations for myself on my phone and I set reminders for me to read them a few times a day. This was a simple way to detour my negative thoughts and it has truly helped. Give it a try💕

Always prepared, always beautiful, always strong, and most importantly, Always Amazing! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you!!!! I loved this video. So many emotions....but realizing that positive affirmations are what you need in life is HARD, but it's the truth. You get stuck in a rut & like Ellie said, change is good. ☺️ I don't have people in my everyday life outside of my hubby & boys. Since my Mom lives 1800 miles a way & my sister and I don't speak. For the last year & a half, you two are MY PEOPLE! I hope that is ok. But you two really help so many people through your videos & interaction, you truly are God sent. So, now I have my homework in front of me-----> listen to this podcast, make an amazing list & start each day positive & happy!!!! THANK YOU Bonnie & Ellie for everything! 😘

Ellie🥺 I sympathize so much with you. You are so brave for saying what you’ve said. You both are. I really hope you get better soon. It takes time and a lot of work, but I got through to the other side and so can you!! 🧡 lots of love xo

I am crying this has hit home with me more than I thought it would. Thank you so much for making this video. ❤❤❤

🙌❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ such a powerful video!!!! Thank you so much for choosing to be open and honest and on top of that to share it publicly for others to be able to take something away from it. Just so inspired ! You guys rock ☀️

I have been listening to positive affirmation videos on youtube, including positive affirmation meditations. I have seen a huge difference in my disposition. I huge anxiety about change & this has helped so much.

Thankyou for being so open and vulnerable, you both are truly beautiful inside and out and are such an inspiration. Ellie ive been where you are and have just been through the toughest time in my life, separating from my husband just before having our 6th baby but ive never felt stronger just knowing im doing my best as a mum a trusting gods love for me and believing in myself... i know you can do this too, but it must come from within you ❤🙏 love to you both... PS Bonnie i LOVE your nails in this vid xxx

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! Ive looked up to you ladies for years now and this video is by far one of my favorites! Please do more videos like this! I think we all need it together! I hope you feel called to be motivational speakers because I think you both would be amazing! I'd buy a ticket instantly to a Positive Affirmations Convention hosted by you girls!!! Super fan moment as well as investing in my own mental health.

Ellie I so appreciate your authenticity! You have helped me so much! Bonnie, I love watching you parent and how honest you can be as well!

I think something that helps me is having positive affirmations towards God as well! It helps me get so much more out of my prayer life

You should definetly do a podcast together. We need you!

Teared up watching this. I LOVE my life and feel really content, but I don’t feel my complete self and struggle with my emotions. I’m grateful, but I really want to improve some things not only for the sake of myself, but others too. I love y’all, what you stand for, and what you do. You’re making a positive impact in this world. Keep up the good work. ❤️

This video couldn't have come at a better time in my life. I have been struggling with keeping positive because of colleagues not being understanding of circumstances and adapting to them. This video has shown me that the negativity I am feeling is just negative self talk and now I can really learn from this to change the way I do things and know I'm not alone

This is 100% relatable. THANK YOU for posting it even though you felt vulnerable. I'm going to allow myself to love and nourish this 'new looking body' that gave me my son.

I can relate to this video so much. I've been working out 6 days a week for about 3 months (80 day obsession by BeachBody) and I see huge changes in myself in my body and my mind. I was not happy with myself before I pushed myself to stay motivated. I'm so proud I made it this far (day 53) and I've even gotten my friends and family motivated just by my actions. I'm different towards my husband (in a good way). My eating could be better but I'm not going to beat myself up about it because when I do it murders my workout motivation so I've learned to go with it. I'll eat what I want in moderation and my results are slower but still showing.

THANK YOU!!!!! I Cannot say it enough! Omg I needed this. I used to have a recording of my affirmations and I set it as my alarm clock and woke up to positive affirmations every day! This was a great reminder to make a new, updated one and get back to it! Love you guys so much!

I want to thank you for being so vulnerable. I also want to say that I don't think it's a coincidence that this video came to be at this time. I have been feeling really down. Major changes are happening ( empty nest, loss of a marriage) and trying to figure out who I am now that I'm not needed as a mom or a wife). There was a lot said that I related to and you are so right about serving others. It's so important to reaffirm especially when there aren't people around you. I don't have friends and need to make major changes. Thank Bonnie, Thanks Ellie.

definitely just hopped on my notes and wrote out the positive affirmations and goals for myself that I want to get better at and achieve. reminding myself that all my positive affirmations are valid even if its just telling myself that I like vegetables! loved this talk, thank you. needed to hear this.

i don’t think this video could have come out at a better time for me, i was in tears watching this honestly because i relate to things you guys were saying, thank you for this, more people need to use this platform for things like this❤️

I have felt stuck in a rut for over a year, thank you for making this. I hope I can make some positive changes to start moving forward

This has been the most helpful and motivational video to date! Just taking notes whilst watching the video and I have 4 pages full of notes and personal affirmations. I will definitely be recording these and totally agree with Bonnie about the power of listening to your own voice out loud! Thank you for being vulnerable and so open and honest. Thank you for being an inspiration. Thank you for being you! ♥️

I absolutely LOVE this video! Will you make a video about books you are reading/ listening to- to help overcome anxiety and just general mental health? Thanks! Love you both so much!

I like it when you practice what you preach, preach it sister!

I was watching the other day and felt like Brie did. But would have never put it in a comment. You girls are amazing, and you have taught me about the type of parent I want to be. Thank you x

More videos like this please! Its good to talk about hard things

THANK YOU! I was literally searching for positive affirmations and this video popped up. I haven’t watched your channel in a while and all I can say is THANK YOU ladies 💕💕💕

Bonnie and Ellie... I love you both SO much!!! You matter to me (and I've never even met you!) I respect you both so much. Your words impact me in a huge way!! I feel exactly what you both are saying so deeply ❤ we are all humans, we are all moms to gorgeous babies, and we ALL matter!! God has blessed us greatly. Even in our darkest day ❤

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS!! Thank you for saying what no one else will! ❤️❤️❤️

I so needed this!! Thank you for sharing these thoughts and ideas. I wish I knew why we as women tend to beat ourselves up so badly during hard times. I hope this empowers you both and the people who have watched it. I know it has helped me!

Thank you for doing a video on this and being vulnerable. I really needed to hear this. ❤️
