Good
Meditation has been a good one for me, it's a good way to ground yourself and sometimes process events that has occurred. Our brain has a uploading process but sometimes we don't give ourselves the chance to process what had happened.
I was gonna ignore it but nah, I’m making a video on this
Thanksssssssss ,so muchhh
Very informative
Spend quality time with parents 😊 also helps you a lot
Note: Important on the "Digital Fuzzy"
When you note a compliment, card, award, etc, Also note when others "help you",.
… but ☀️ Most Importantly:
Note and give yourself a compliment, particularly on subjects others may not know of, or understand,
Why? Because we each gain most important understanding and practice of "From Within"
All that we ever need lies within, and our "self worth, self confidence, and self esteem" are the most important values towards our true happiness and *our establishing a High Vibe Frequency,!"
The "Universal Law of Attraction" is Absolute. 🔑
We are creating all of our own Reality!

I gravitate towards caring for my plants. I live in a small space, but it helps that I have the greenery around me. It needs my care and attention but if I don't care for it properly, or something out of control happens, it's not totally devastating if it croaks. Rather than if I had a pet to care for, which becomes a daily expense. And plants DO respond to whether they are ignored, have a positive atmosphere, or are treated negatively. So, there's also the satisfaction of them flourishing when you are behaving kindly.
So much better than those godawful tedtalks
The best thing to do when feeling down is to go outside and touch grass.
1. When I am overwhelmed with work i set time aside my parents and their cat. I lie on the bed and hug the cat . 2. When i need to recharge my batteries, I'm going for a run in the park. 3. Also I always setting time aside for myrself : I lie in the bath, dress up nicely and go for cosmetic procedure. 4.
I love you host say your name at the beginning thank you for ur energy u remind me of billnye and the white dude from cyber chase for real
I love this guy!!! Ahh I’ve missed him since college chemistry. I needed this video during college chemistry 😂😭
I love Hank 🙂
My tips for myself:
1 – If I feel down for a long time, I won`t be shy about going to the psychologist because it is one of the fastest and really vital ways to understand what happens to me.
2 – to be a friend to me. I try to support myself, just as I support my friends. Trying to use a lot of patience for myself and refocus on the resting.
3 – trying to use only long-term dopamine. I am sure my brain should produce dopamine from itself, it is precious to me, and it is an ongoing process.
I wish you good emotional feelings. And to me 🙂

Hi, can you provide a link for the peer reviewed study you mention on burnout please?
Hi, there. Here's my self-care list of tips. When I'm feeling down I'm eating sweets, a lot of sweets! When I'm eating sweets, I recognise that I need to recharge my batteries, so I visit women's phsycology club with warm atmosphere. I like to switch off and take time out from my work before the need strikes, for ex, I do yoga with breathing deeply by the diaphragm. Sometimes I don't notice warning signs and I start to yell at my family, and in that case it takes me to set time aside for yourself to being face-to face, or just sleeping. New way to prevent burnout is drawing neirographics. Also communicating with my kids: son and niece is vital piece of ongoing process that shows me careless, kind, happy moment of my life. There I can be a warm lovely woman with smile. Nothing beats cuddling with them!
What happened to this channel
Can we cut out all the damn baby stuff?
I treat myself buying different things: delicious food, beautiful clothes. When I'm overwhelmed with work, I organize a small vacation to recharge my batteries. Walking my dog helps me clear my head. I deliberately take time to appreciate and recognize every thing I'm thankful for.
Never gets old
Where is the spreadsheet you mentioned organized by experience you are trying to cope with?
Hey, all….i suspect..this is just what i need.
68 yr old lost soul here, spent my entire life from Early childhood on taking care of Others. Even my job was about taking care of others. Bad environment, but they never broke me..hubby was a paraplegic from hit & run when he was just 21 yrs old so he was total care & he suddenly died from a 'sinus infection'(or so the hospital claims) 5 yrs ago.
…….and for the First time Ever..i was Alone…totally alone…
Loving it, now…but..just drifting aimlessly..cos..i've no idea how to do this…
i spent first 2 yrs after he passed..shut down, the shock of his loss threw me & nearly killed me..then just as suddenly, 2 yrs & a week later…one morning..the sun seemed just a little brighter & was coming in at just the right angle to hit the prisms & fill the room with rainbows…& i smelled the fresh brewed coffee for the first time …..& woke up out of the haze ….realization hit..i could do what **i wanted to do now…wow….!
..so..like the workaholic i am, i threw myself into restructuring the house, inside & out, flowers popping up randomly, everywhere…..then became deeply engrossed in things i never got to do before…& things i had to set aside for "someday"..like..all kinds of crafting..and decorating the house inside the way *i * liked it……blissful..restful..whites…& violets..and daisies…strawberries..cardinals..lots of tree branches & sherry blossoms & dogwood….lots of copper & it's 99% shabby chic…& i am running out of materials & space….don't want it to look messy..just as one person described it.."WoW! what an Eclectic Wonderland, that would take days to see everything!"..she & anyone else that has visited fall in love with my house..& so am i….but..time passes….now it's done for the main part…but…i'm not.
Because i don't socialize nor want to, Not Lonely in the slightest…i just want to ponder the meaning of life, while resting & healing in my sanctuary & let the world pass me by…..& it is, thankfully.
…my hair has grown out & looks wild….my nails are each a different length…Don't even have makeup not older than 5 yrs….& my wardrobe..has become the standard uniform of the boring housewife, a black jogging suit..sweat shirt & pants..and slippers……i am pretty much done mourning…time to change
so…here i am….Teach Me

The useless scrolling up and down on the internet is one of the signs that I need to take a step back and recharge myself. The things that help me a lot are a cup of tea, talking to someone, going for a walk, or calling my family.
Read a good book, find quiet place, rest. Play with children..to park. etc.
Prayer (time with Jesus) is always a safe place for me to go to avoid burn out. When I prioritize it, even above my "squeaky wheels" and "high priorities" things go smoother for me.
For me self-care consists of 5 big plates: having an admiring job, a usual good sleeping (for 8-10 hours), healthy food and hydration, regular physical activity and mental rest. When I worked at annoying job – I hated everything on it and out of it! When I forgot eating healthy or drink enough water – I haven't any energy in every ongoing process throughout the workday. When I slept less than 7-8 hours – my brain can't be productive and create interesting through the day. When I'm not having any regular sports activity (2-3 times per week) – my body kills myself for it. And when I can't find any time to have a mental rest during the day – I feel so overwhelmed with work in the end of the week. Summing up all my thoughts, I want to say Thanks for your video, it was a good reminder that we need to recognize the warning signs of being overwhelmed with work and usually recharge our batteries in our own perfect way.
I thought self care was more like, taking regular baths (daily), eating, Sleeping, keeping your environment clean, washing your hair, maintaining your objects etc.
There is a new book out called. HEARING YOURSELF. Prem Rawat.
It takes a human being and puts them in the driver's seat this book sold 5,000 copies in one night
Try to understand where you’ve hit rock bottom for yourself & then change
I've always struggled with taking care of myself. I never saw myself as "worthy" of taking the time to do something for myself. I also love knowing that the person who taught me history, chemistry, anatomy and physiology is able to tell me to take care of myself.
Thank you for this video and sharing your kind and intellectual advice ! ☺️
Be a better video if you didn’t talk about yourself like you said not everyone is the same and a lot of people wouldn’t understand what your talking about . Maybe make a more serious video so everyone who is watch can understand
This dude just SCREAMS "I got my wife's boyfriend to hold the camera but usually that's my job"
You had me when you quoted Codependent No More. 🙂
Thanks for sharing 🌈

Just taking 5 to 10 minutes of your morning time to ground and get your head straight in the morning. Before you start your day. , A quick stress relieving meditation is one of the great ways to prepare you for the coming could be challenge's of the day or just regular routine. It's just something to clear your head 🗣️ and emotions off being somewhere you don't want them to be. Sef preservation is key 🗝️🔐
I still think about suicide everyday and began cutting myself again. Ive done therapy, drugs medicine, spirituality, everything a person can do. Im sure i will get to leave this life sooner or later. Isn't death the goal? No matter what u do or don't do, death is where we all end up. Might as well ( geter )done sooner than later. Its only more bullshit that will be happening in life anyways. longevity is not something human beings should NOT have any value in. Do ya really want to shit yourself and ware a diaper and be sick than die in a hospital???. Rather suicide myself long before that. Seriously whats up with that living BS anyways. I am best at failure and terrific at being a pathetic looser. I guess i can always get better at those things like I always have.
