You are so wise for your age. I’m 72 and I’m so glad I learned some things from this video. Some I wish I had learned when I was young.

I love the section about not giving weight to negative thoughts. One of the best things my therapist has taught me is to see negative thoughts as leaves floating on a stream or river...like I see them, I recognize that they are there, but I don't try to grasp them and keep them, I just let them continue floating by. It's basically what you described just in a specific visual that really helps me out a lot.

Just because you think something, doesn’t mean it’s true. I like it. I use to tell my kids, “ just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”. If only more people reflected on their thoughts and actions and the power behind them.😊

Ooo, girl, Never Let Me Go when you're talking about your inherent value ❤ maybe not intentional, but love it all the same. Such a POWERFUL read. So much to be said about giving too much weight to other people's perceptions of us AND our own perceptions of ourselves. And the majority of the perceptions are not true no matter if they come from you or not! Watch those feelings pass. Live with them. Integrate them. Notice that you can live with icky feelings and the world doesn't crumble around you. It's a muscle, just like decluttering 😉 A bit of a ramble, but lots of great things touched on here. Keep on!

You're right, these things can change over the course of time in our lives because life is always in flux. You look like you're feeling good so I hope that's the case. Best wishes.

Not only do I love your channel but you also read Kazuo Ishiguro!!☺❤ Thank you for addressing point nb 1, it is almost never mentioned on decluttering channels indeed , or how to stop bringing stuff in in the first place. I implemented your wish list with the price, I already had a wish list but seeing the prices add up really helps realizing how much I can save when I am intentional. Thanks again

Hey there! I don’t think you’ll see this, but I wanted to let you know that better help isn’t as great as they claim. Plenty of clients and therapists have spoken about this, on youtube and other places. I think that encouraging people to be careful with what we bring into our lives is great, and I think that truly means passing on better help. I hope you’re able to look into this and maybe stop working with them!

I’m sure it has its flaws but it’s helped me get access to care where other therapists refuse to take me because they aren’t accepting new patients. It’s the first time I’m actually able to get help after asking for it for years

@AzariaSpace1 10 ай бұрын

@@gabygrand I’m so glad you’ve had a good experience with them! I definitely don’t want to discount that. At the same time, many people have legitimate grievances with it and I personally am disappointed when people advertise them without caution

I have tried BetterHelp about 10 times and honestly the counsellors on there have largely been very unprofessional, racist to other groups, inappropriate, or incompetant. It also doesn't help that they are all American and don't approach therapy the way they do here in Europe - it felt to me a lot less structured and formal, more like a chat with a friend. I would not recommend it.

This resonated with me so hard today!! I love your perspective on career changing. It took me so long to let go of my old career identity. Your perspective is so lovely. Permission to change and grow. Also I love that cute white tank top :) I also have an obsession with finding the perfect white Tshirt just like you 😅

Down the road you will probably find that your old career path wasn't wasted and will contribute and be used some how in your future life. Nothing we do gets wasted.

I'm really disappointed that you continue to promote BetterHelp when they are KNOWN to be a horrible Uberification of an essential human need. Please do more research on the issues with them. I'm ok with sponsors, you have to pay your bills, but please be more aware of the issues with that specific one. Given the qualifications you have to evaluate the quality of their service? I expect more from you. There are licensed clinicians ON THIS PLATFORM denouncing them for how they've run them ragged financially and destroyed patient outcomes. Please do better research going forward.
