    I am old enough to be your mother, so it's probably pretty unusual for me to have landed here. I live in California and my daughter just started college in Vermont. I miss her. You remind me of her and her friends a little. Thank you so much for this video. Oh! I swam in the rain today and it was amazing. In fact, there is not much that makes me happier. Not sure why I felt the need to share that but...

    thank you so much for this. its been a wake up call for me since i'm almost 17 and i feel like i've wasted my adolescence. it truly resonated with me when you said in your previous video that you need to remind yourself to be present and not stuck in your head as i have been struggling with maladaptive daydreaming, constantly creating a perfect fantasy for myself, whilst my real life, my grades and most importantly i have been suffering as a result of all that. i want to experience my youth, i want to learn all the things i want to learn while i still ve got the chance to, i want real memories, not just previous daydreams, i want to be fully focused talking to my friends instead of inventing parallel conversations inside my head. so, i am going to try to live here and now, because i know that it would be better than any dream imaginable for it would actually be real.{sorry for my shitty english}{thank you sm for being the person i needed to find in my recommendations}

    vasi Honesty, I couldn't agree more with you. I've turned 17 a couple of months ago and I'm struggling with the exact same thing. It even got so bad that some of my friends stopped hanging out with me as much because I always seemed too "absent" to them. It's nice to hear you say you'll try and embrace reality more (it's actually really motivating), but at the same time I'm insanely afraid I might find out that my real life can never ever be as good as the one I see before my eyes... Sry for talking so much

    it's just me Jesus, same. I mean, I'm making it really hard for myself, because there is not way my life could compete with that of a 70s teenager. Unfortunately, ive been having that thing since i was very young so im not quite sure how capable i am to control it. And for better or for worse my friends are used to me having emotional and mental health issues, so they'd rather ignore it than talk abt it or put themselves in a position where they have to reason their alienation from me.

    I had maladaptive daydreaming at one point... I used to spend whole days at home just trying to create the perfect dream. After a while I realised that no matter how good the day dream was, I still felt empty inside when I finished. My parents noticed I was spending a lot of time inside so they got me involved in lots of activities like orchestra, ice skating, swimming and that helped me break out of it a bit (although this was a long process) because I had to actively focus. I couldn’t daydream as much on ice because I would fall otherwise and because I was daydreaming less and making more friends, I didn’t feel empty afterwards like in my daydreams. Idk if it was learning new things in activities or new friends or having goals (like swim 10 lengths) but either way, over the years I forgot about daydreaming in the day because I had fun things to do, things that needed full attention. I don’t daydream during the day anymore but I still do before sleeping at night. I call it my bedtime story haha. Well that’s my story, I hope it helps someone else recover from maladaptive daydreaming x

I cry, without fail, whenever I watch one of your videos. To clear up, this is not negative, it's actually really nice and I feel so relieved afterwards, but no, I can't explain why...

    I've been in a stall for over 4 years, mostly because of vicious and toxic relationship. The one thing that actually pulled me out was sports. And Im not talking about going to the gym or jogging but about something more intense. I started cycling, as I used to as a child. I took my bike and went with a bunch of strangers to the nearest mountain which I wanted to see for years. I struggeled, died in the middle and in the end my brother had to pick me up. What I love about cycling is that you can see so many things you would not see probably ever. You will see country side, animals, forests and mountains within the reach of your legs. You will meet the people, you will see places, you will get fit and you will get high with serotonin. Just give it a go. Best

    I love how in the moment she can be with her thoughts. I love her full attention being directed into feeling and thinking what she is. I love that when she says "I'm going to change my life and you're coming with me" it holds so much power that it's convincing to not only her audience but she's drilling the message into her own subconsciousness. Or atleast it seems as though it does

    I love the "just be" task 😊 but I deeply believe that this mindfulness part is essential but not enough. By experience I learned that things start to take off (and this is how my life really changed) where you add to the just being part kindness and compassion. In this way is not you being in the moment, but the moment being with you. I think this is the only way to break free from our evolutionistic behavior of chasing carrots and running away from sticks and to find the highest happiness: peace. You may be interested in my last video where I explain exactly this!

    My therapist suggested a book called, "The Mindful Path to Self Compassion" by Christopher K. Germer. I downloaded it as an ebook and would listen to it whenever I felt in a funk. It is filled with different mindfullness and meditation techniques and stories that may bring you some inner insight or understanding of other people's struggles and that we are not alone. I think it's really good that you are "bringing us with you" The support is here.

    I'm on the same journey. I have never felt more comfortable in about three years. The guilt of not finishing a task or when your mind tells you that you haven't done much even though you were running around all day, goes away as soon as you go in blind (into a certain task, that is.) And when you feel tired of said task, you switch it up a bit, and with the lack of your high perfectionist standards, due to going in blind, you feel immensely satisfied by what you have done. Thus, making you happy. And that was my week. Also, I called my friends who have all thought I died and was rotting in the past three years. To them, I was just a friend who suddenly disappeared without a trace. Picking up the phone and calling them was my biggest challenge this week.

    "It's changed my mind" that's what I've felt also in just two days of applying this new mindest of trying change and making a list of goals and habits I want to change or create and reflecting on that list at the end of my day, about what I've done that day and why. It feels really amazing to feel like my mind can change again, makes me really hopeful I can get myself to being who I want to be, doing the things I want or know I should be doing. Thank you so much for this series, even if I'm late in discovering it, I'm so grateful I have.

I have been crying at nights after I finish a day full of fake smiles I never really express how I feel and what I think because I'm scared of being called weird I'm at uni and I am still not sure if the major I'm taking is the right one for me I feel like I'm locked in a room with flaming fire getting closer to me. I feel anxious of it burning me all the time and it does, I feel pain. At some days I just want to let that fire burn me but it doesn't burn when I want it to. So I remain trapped with that pain, all in my head. I want that fire gone I want to change my life too Thank you Dottie

    That could be my words, the difference is that its in my head :) And in writing :) There is a qoute that says 'change will come when its to hard not to' . For me im right now in a bit of a 'struggle' in life, (yes soon 34 years and not knowing what I am or where im going) For me it helps to go back to 'the basics', sleep well, eating proper meals,(as good as I can cook) and trying to get out for a walk in nature.( short long doesnt matter, the goal is to get out of my front door) a little bit of yoga and meditation, so I can BE, HERE in the moment, instead of in my head (in my head I go nowhere ending up with panic and anxiety) As the youtuber veronica krestow once said:: 'putting yourself in a video is more about what you can give, than what you get'. And you are an inspiration, and Im feeling less alone on this rollercoaster called life:) Thank you for that! :) Big hug to you!

    You're doing great, Dottie! Also I want to thank you because you motivated me to try something similar, starting this week. Here are the things I will try harder to do: - talk to my family and my friends from home more often - stop procrastinating and don't let a day pass without reading at least a few pages for uni - actually go to all lectures and seminars, no matter how anxious and unprepared I feel - force myself to write every week - find ways to earn money and become less financially dependent on my parents - exercise at least a few minutes everyday - completely transition to a vegan diet in the next three months - ew shower everyday ffs!! - go to sleep before midnight with no exception It will be difficult, and I'm aware that it won't always work, but as you said in a previous video, at least I know I tried my best. We can do it 💖 💪

    You've inspired me more to take a hold of my life and simply do and be what I want and have always wanted! I too, am one of those people that has never needed to 'try' very hard at anything; I pick things up quickly and I can maintain decent grades with little effort and last-minute revision, however, I'm always so annoyed at myself that I never really try. This year has already become a 'change your life' year for me, I've gone from being a depressed, anxious and self-loathing person to feeling confident, inspired, happy and almost anxiety free. I've taken up yoga, I'm going on the uni ski trip by myself (though I've now met some people I know who are going), I've started weight lifting, listening to podcasts, expressing myself, enjoying myself, talking to people more, going out more, pushing myself out of my comfort zone... I will be following these video chapters and how you make progress, I still have many things I want to achieve so its nice to feel like you're on the same journey as someone else - I wish you the best of luck! My list (at the moment) is: * Stop worrying about what happens after you graduate and enjoy the present * take up a sport and devote yourself to it * don't let fear and social anxiety hold you back from talking to others * nourish your body with healthy and nutritious food * do uni reading and seminar work ahead of time (I'm bad for this) * Try and get nearly all 1st grades in semester 2 * enjoy life and the people around me more * live for myself and not others

    I find your voice so calming...i feel like you’ve really had a positive encouragement on me (if that makes sense). I’m going to write a list of things I’d like to do, things I’ve been putting off for different reasons, just to motivate myself. I feel like just sitting and wasting my time on social media etc. Instead I need/want to Create, complete things, clean (one thing I really need to do), pamper myself, just anything I don’t do because I ‘can’t be arsed’. I need to get my head out of that mental space and just get things done.

    Your journey is so true to yourself and I can really relate to it as well. Something I started doing three years ago is mediation (not mindfulness) and it has positively changed my life in every aspect. Instead of like mindfulness focussing on your MIND and trying to control it, Sahaja Yoga meditation let me to take a step back from it. It let me to see my thoughts as that what they are, a natural thing the brain does to proces impulses from the outside. We've become so used to hearing and experiencing these thoughts so loud in our head that sometimes you don't realise they're just that; thoughts. They are not YOU. They are not who you are in essence. Also remember to have fun. In my experience being in the moment comes with an intense feeling of JOY. Laughing at yourself, your own ego, the people around you and seeing everything as a play can be so calming & freeing. (Don't laugh in their face of course). Just see the humor of it all. Here is a free online Sahaja Yoga meditation course if anybody wants to try it: www.onlinemeditation.org/ Would 1008% recommend. Goodluck! And as long as you have the desire to connect with yourself and the universe, all will work out.

    To "just be" from "be happy", show how much you have been productive since chapter two. You don't have to be happy to be you, but you can be happy when you allow yourself to just be. Maybe a little tip for the "be in the moment". Just take a photo in the moment, when you feel in the moment. I use to take a picture of what make me feel in the moment, and write a little on the side about what I see. Most importantly, take your time to live your day, the moment. Just breath, because it's the most beautiful present. Love and Support, you are doing amazing again in the chapter three. Sabrine

    I was having an episode a few days ago where I felt so lost in life, I couldn't feel anything, I was numb, the bad memories kept coming back. I have to keep telling myself that I need to accept what's coming and just do it, watching this makes me feel calmer, I really appreciate this series, thank you, Dottie :)

    I just found your channel and i have only watched your last 3 videos and i feel so proud of you. I can relate to this so much; I understand exactly why you are doing it, for yourself and yourself only. I know it is going to be so hard some days and you are going to want to quit and see no point in it anymore. Don't listen to that feeling, whatever you do. When you get that feeling, jump straight up and do something else or it will consume you. You can do this. Imagine watching these videos a year from now and being totally different, in a good way. The happiness you will feel from that moment is worth trying to try today. ❤❤❤ So excited for you and even though your purpose is not to inspire, you do it effortlessly and thats something to be proud of.

    omg if you love potterless, you should totally check out Harry Potter and the sacred text!!!!!!!! They also go through harry potter, chapter by chapter, and discuss it as an advice for life. It gets better book by book, and it really taught me about life. As always, I love your videos, you are so great. And I love your hair today.

    So weird this video popped up in my suggestions! I'm also trying to change. I've been through a depression and even though I'm slowly coming out of it I've lost all drive to do anything- So my main goals are: Finding a job. Moving to my own place. Study something. Read. Working on my relationships. Get tested for ADD. Exercise once a week (at least). Go out.

    I think one of the reasons I look up to you so much as creator is because you *really* remind me of my order sister. (She's also a creative person; a photographer.) But even if that's not related to it, I still feel this intense wave of pride and encouragement whenever I watch one of your videos. I'm really loving this so far, keep going! 😊🌹

    I love this series, I found you two weeks ago when you started it I found it as a sign. I myself have been going through my own change and trying to figure everything out. You are 'trying change' I am 'trying to define'. It's my own version and I wasn't going as hard or strong as I had hoped, but after watching you and keeping up with your updates, I have been getting some new motivation. Thank you, and let's both try.

    Everything is a mess right now. I've been crawling my way through uni since I was a sophomore. I decided to change earlier this year and manage my time better and everything. I was so motivated at first and accomplished a lot but lately it's going downhill. I'm back to binge watching series and doing useless things. You just inspired me to get myself together again thank you. I hope you have a great and successful journey to change :)

I'm 25 and a lot of things you have gone through and are going through and speak about and feel - (just ALL the things) ring so true to me - Both past and present. I love that you celebrate all the things - little and big, because that's how we move on, that's how we change. I'm very grateful to you because your blogs give me more motivation than any 'How to stay Motivated' blog ever could. This is so real and so genuine. Thank you. (Really, Truly) You have really helped me. And good luck, I know you can do and achieve EVERYTHING you want to and EVERYTHING you fear you might not be able to. You can do this. :)

    What I've learned is that no matter how hard you try to change, you can only change when you are really ready. Ive spent years trying change. But only recently was I really fed up with no change, and a life I didn't't love. So I made the same decision you did, and I think I made it around the same time as you which is funny. I made the decision that I'd force myself to give 100% at everything. No excuses. And already I see the change. How funny. That it took me till I had no charge left to put in all my charge.

    Dear Dottie! I'm so glad I found your channel and these videos in particular. I want to change with you. I want to give everything and really try. I never did that and I'm kind of scared, but it's about time. This year I already started doing my makeup more carefully and trying to dress less like a child and more like the grown woman I am. For the next week I have some things I would like to accomplish and I hope you don't mind, that I am writing them down in your comment section. I want to pass my exam, I want to do yoga every day, I want to start cleaning out my closet and I want to think more about what and how much I eat, so that I can start to eat better. I don't know if it's okay, but I would like to update you on my progress next week, when your video goes up. Let's do this together! Lots of love, Katy
