I’m still not sure social media will every be good for my mental health; but approaching it with that mentality of we’re in this together - that’s helpful!
I used to hate watching channels like yours because I always felt like I was a failure compared to them, until I learned to change my mindset and *learn* from them! Nobody's perfect, and I am definitely not as productive some days as I'd like to be (see: me still in bed at 1030am writing this comment), but it makes things a lot more enjoyable to watch videos of women I used to be envious of from a lens of learning from them, as you've said! ❤️
Abby I'm so glad you're coming back! I've definitely noticed your absence over the last couple of weeks and I was a bit worried ❤️ I actually talked to my husband about it 😅 everyone needs a break and this is your job, so of course you need some time off every once in a while! ❤️
I chose "and then there were none" because I've read the hobbit before and it's amazing, but I'm excited to read something new! Especially since I almost never read murder mysteries (do they count it it's a murder mystery but in like a high-fantasy, other world setting?)
Love this post! I especially appreciated your points about learning from others we may have envied at some point. Something I learned when I started watching content creators’ videos with more intention and curiosity was just how many time-saving hacks they were using! They had beautifully styled hair because they did heatless curling overnight, they were working towards their fitness goals by taking 5-10 minutes each day to do HIIT or yoga (which was still a great workout), they were making amazing meals and keeping a clean kitchen by gradually building their own catalogue of easy recipes that required minimal prep/clean up, and they were always kind to themselves when life felt overwhelming (because that will happen, no matter how good someone is with time/task management). I know I have learned so much from your YouTube channel and can’t wait to keep learning even more. What a gift to learn from one another! 🥰
