Welcome to the second episode of my 'Unemployed Diaries' series! Get ready for a candid and chatty journey through my week as I navigate the ups and downs of unemployment. In this video, I open up about my struggles with anxiety and coping with negative thoughts. Join me as I embark on a much-needed cleaning session and treat myself to a solo coffee date.

I hear you with the negative self talk and anxiety. It’s something I’m working on too. I like to read positive/motivational self help books. Reading those helps a lot. 💕

@RachelElizabethW 4 ай бұрын

Yes, it can be very tricky. I read self-help books occasionally as well. I found a few YT creators who talk about it and give positive advice and insight to be helpful too.

I was let go from my job almost a month ago now. I feel these same emotions so I started creating videos similar to this as a way to have a virtual journal of navigating this new chapter. It’s been a roller coaster of emotions. Sending positive thoughts!!!

Tell me about it. One day I think I could start my own business and be my own boss and the next day I'm terrified and freaking out because no one will give me an interview SMH.

I feel exactly like this. I’ve been unemployed for 6 months and have been trying so hard to motivate myself with anything anymore. It’ll get better, but it’s hard

I'm sorry to hear that. It is definitely a cruddy situation to be in. We just have to try to stay positive.

Procrastination is real! I battle with it on a constant basis working from home. You get a bit too cosy and just let things slide! Treating KZfaq as a business is a good idea. It's keeping you in a work mindset and keeps you productive. :)

Yes! Exactly this. It is so easy to get distracted by stuff at home or work on the couch for a few minutes and then boom your whole afternoon is gone.

I was able to check out a cool room in the library for free. No cost or budget needed. Just maybe the library card/ID.

That’s awesome! I need to check with my library about that too. And get a library card 😆

I think I can find a way to work that into the next unemployment diaries video. There is some of my income that I can't share for legal reasons but I can go over budgeting, expenses, and some money-saving tips I am applying. Would that be helpful?

Be good to yourself. Watch old movies. Take walks - something about seeing the horizon helps to clear your thinking. Cats are nature's healers.

It is crazy how much infuence a job has over on people. It determines where you live, what you wear, who your friends will be as they often are your co-workers, and what kind of vacays you'll take as people share where they went and if it appeals to you, you might want to do the same thing. And if they lay you off, it really pulls the carpet out from under your feet. I've heard bosses boast that so-and-so (the employee standing next to them) has had X number of marriages, but I'm her only boss after 20+ years. Yeah, that's a lot of influence. I kinda missed what you said about Kevin, is he a life partner? Does he live there? Is he paying all the bills until you're back on your financial feet? I'm not trying to pry, I'm watching as I'm sick and I think I just missed that info. It's okay to not say if you don't want to. I don't need to know. But I do want to express that I do care what you're suffering through. My Best Wishes go out to you. I'm headed back to bed now.

@RachelElizabethW 4 ай бұрын

Sorry to hear that you are sick. I hope you feel better soon. Yes Kevin is my partner, I can’t remember if I referred to him as my bf on the video or just said his name ha. We live together and we split all the bills down the middle since I have enough to pay my share. Thanks for watching and supporting. I greatly appreciate it!

worry is the mind trying to figure out the future and keep you safe I would look into mindful meditation has helped me a lot as well.Also we would love to know how much money do you have in savings for something like this ? please tell us and how much you spend a month on bills. its tough out there right now try to hang in there from I have learned is nothing is forever especially your emotions they will eventually shift it will take time though .keep looking and if you dont find anything full time maye be time to get part time gigs.

I've tried meditation several times but, I have a hard time focusing and sitting still (probably the ADHD side of me). Yoga typically works a bit better since I am moving and doing breathwork and being more stimulated. I plan on going over some finance stuff in the next episode at the end of this month. I've had a few people ask about that side of it. Thanks for the suggestions and thanks for watching!

I’m curious about you tube a little bit, you don’t seem to have a lot of subscribers and views, I don’t mean that in any sort of rude way, but I am wondering if that still makes you some money? When you mentioned about going full-time as a KZfaqr are you making a decent amount of money on your videos? I’m just very curious about how many subscribers you would have to have or how many views etc. To make some amount of a decent living.

@RachelElizabethW 3 ай бұрын

Hello there, I’m happy to answer your questions. Right now my channel is not making any money. In order to get into the KZfaq partner program where you’re paid from ads you run on your channel you need to have 1000 subs and 4K watch hours within the past year. I’m not close to that yet but now that I’m not working I’m treating KZfaq and content creation like a full time job and business. Prior to losing my job it was more of a hobby that I did whenever I had time and I wasn’t consistent. I have heard of some creators having brand deals prior to getting monetized on the YT partnership program but I haven’t attempted to reach out to any brands yet. Creators can also do affiliate marketing if they can get accepted into a program (like Amazon influencer program). I’m working towards that now. So I’m just hoping all my hard work pays off eventually to make it profitable. I hope they clears things up a bit. Probably should have explained what I meant by full time in the video 🤦‍♀️ 😆
