I already love this series! I've been looking for Journaling prompts because I can write nothing except fiction and I NEED to write down my feelings (according to my advisor)😅 My advisor told me I care too much about other people and their needs and hinder my own, never knew that was a bad thing, hope I can understand and make this my "summer of self". Thank you for being such a good companion Jade, even though we're 6704 Km away, it feels nice to know that someone's out there caring for other people and themselves like you do, it inspires me a lot and makes me believe I can do it too😊❤️

The job I applied to and got accepted is my biggest challenge. I will be a student brand ambassador, do graphic designs for the company as well in addition and right now even do a little of recruiting. I taught myself graphic design, so I get a little anxious about whether it is good, and for the rest, I just never did it before. I used to do summer camp jobs because I was sooo in my comfort zone. Yees, and I want to take one online class, get intermediate in Excel and drop my first KZread video as a studytuber. I really enjoyed your first video Jade, am so excited for the rest.

Your driving test isn't testing your perfection. It's testing whether you can drive safely. And once you have your licence, you will improve your spacial awareness and other skills. Once I realised this, I felt a lot less pressure, because I no longer expected to be perfect. :-) Fantastic video, Jade! You're a wise young lady!

*If anyone cares to read this long story about my travel anxiety and how I am trying to overcome it thank you, sorry its so damn long* For me I have always had desires of travel since I was a young teen (now 23) and my parents had never really taken me anywhere. I live pretty much in the middle of nowhere, pretty remote, and away from many people. I left my home state in the US once, and didn't fly on a plane, take a train, or drive really anywhere (unless I was with my parents) until I was past the age of 18. On Top of this lack of exposure, my parents are so so fearful of the world. I have been SO aware of how 'dangerous' the world is since I was literally a child and growing up more and more its just lead to incredible anxiety. Here were the people who I am meant to learn that the world is manageable and all they taught me was that everything is scary, the only safe place is off the grid, and other countries are just filled with horrible people who will kidnap me and kill me. SO. That led to so much fear but still this desire to travel and see the world, and not stay trapped where I am. This caused me to kind of attach myself to friends who were more experienced with travel than me, and basically manipulate them into traveling with me in order to experience it. But this was very bad because I was emotionally attaching myself and manipulating people to help me instead of taking power in myself to do it for myself. I finally went on a plane with a friend for the first time in my life at 21, it was an hour long, and one of the best and also anxiety inducing experiences of my life. I took the bus by myself to and from my apartment to my university for three years, I took the train by myself down to a town near me to visit a friend. These were all things that have improved my travel anxiety, but oh god is it still such a huge struggle. In September I will be taking my first solo flight across my country, 5-6hrs away, and I am terrified, but trying to work myself out of my anxiety as I get closer to the date. I try to focus on my routine when in the air, my knowledge that planes are safe, and my excitement to visit the new place I will be in once I am there. Telling myself that I can trust myself to navigate scary new places like a big airport that I have never been in before. *long story short* comfort zones (from what I have found) can be parented and taught into us, and it is important as we go forward into adulthood that we make up our own decisions about the world and our own limits to life. If you also felt too scared to travel anywhere, have fear around transportation, I was right there with you not two years ago, you can do it, and you can do it safely, it will be okay, you got this.

I had a lot of travel anxiety, but I've flown by myself a few times (22 now) both domestically and internationally. And when I say that there are a lot of people that are also nervous (in terms of getting lost) at airports, trust me, there is (so you're in good company). Some of the best things that I can recommend is just being polite and asking for help, and youll get to where you need to go. Also, try to view a map of the airport before hand and look up standard requirements for going through the airport departure/arrival. It really can help you feel a bit more prepared and in control. Also, for any anxiety with flying, planes are incredibly safe forms of transportation, because not only are they engineered by top minds--they are operated by seasoned pilots with well over 20 years of experience (most of the time) in the field. It'll be ok. I used to be scared of them, but considering I've been in 2 car accidents, I know at this point that it's much safer to fly. TL;DR: Flying by yourself is scary (especially with all the covid mandates now, eugh), but like you said, you can do it!

@@herraisan9642 Your english is perfectly fine dont worry! :) thanks for asking these questions I really hope my answer can be of some help. In regards to anxieties when going out alone, I can relate completely and it took me a while to get through it and the biggest thing that helped was going to university in a city that wasn't too overwhelming, but was much bigger than my home town. I slowly gained the exposure I needed without fearing everything all the time (it was still scary but things gradually got easier). So my biggest advice for that would be either move to a city that you feel comfortable moving to that's not too overwhelming, or if that's not a possibility, then just try to gain some exposure slowly by making day trips places, maybe visit a friend by taking a train one time, until you start to feel more confident in traveling places on your own. As for directions, I try to look up directions for places using my phone or computer before I leave places so that I am really prepared, and then keep an extra phone charger and block on me at all times so that I can access maps, train schedules, bus schedules, flight information whenever my trip needs it through my phone. I try to see if the transportation company I am using has an app so that I have a schedule/ my ticket info all on my phone (example: delta airlines has an app, Amtrak the train has an app too I believe) those can be super helpful. Also you would be surprised how helpful a bus driver, train attendant, or store worker is when you ask for directions or location of a map. I was always scared of talking to them, but they have always been super helpful and nice whenever I ask them! Lastly (sorry for how long this is) remember that its okay to be aware of your surroundings because incase of trouble, but the world is not in general a horrible place like our parents may wish to make us believe. As long as we are cautious, plan ahead, and are confident we will be just as fine as everyone else. I really hope that you can gain the confidence to embrace the world as I am doing now, you have time so don't worry! You'll be able to do it!

I love that I discovered this now. Felt angry at myself again for 'wasting' what felt like basically the entire summer break, since it started early July and uni starts in 3 weeks and I have to work a lot next week. It feels like I only have 2 weeks left to work on the things I planned to do during this looong break. This video reminded me that there is still time left, I can totally do things, and it gave me ideas for what to do and how to do it. And even this week I can work on it. Lots of small baby steps will also eventually bring you somewhere. Like printing out the syllabus for the courses starting in September. It didn't take me long and it's a step. Small, but it is one.

I don't think you have any idea, how much you've helped someone miles away literally just to BREATHE and release in huge sigh. Over the years I had developed this huge clumped up knot in me for " always Overthinking" or being too slow or always being a fearful person Not being able to just casually talk to someone without shaking or freezing I'm still in my process of getting better each day, not just this video but this WHOLE COMMUNITY IN THIS COMMENTS i feel so hopeful and not so alone THANK YOU to each and every one of you for existing , and just being the way you are I'm crying ok bye Luv u all my weridos

The 'doing things alone' one hit so close to home. I'm at the exact same place where you used to be, my sweet mum helps me do everything, but I must learn to be independent like my friends. Part of the reason why I want to get a dorm instead of going to uni from home, I hope it helps :')

☀️ I am 28 though I am so inspired by you! The past two years I have widen my comfort zone so much: quit my old job which was comfortable but didn't fulfill me anymore to go back to university and pursue my dream career, I am currently spending 6 weeks in another country for an internship and I will be spending a year abroad in two different countries for an Erasmus exchange. It IS true that you only grow when leaving your comfort zone for a bit. ☀️ Also leaving my comfort zone meant finally finding the courage and motivation to recover from my eating disorder. I am almost 30 but I guess it is never too late

When I turned 18, I moved to a bigger city, started working, needed to manage household and adult things, was forced to make friends, took on responsibilities and I grew *so much*. Really glad I did that

☀️ The part about driving was so relatable. Ever since I went to university and lived in the city I didn't need a car, and when I'm at home my parents drive, so even though I have my license I have barely any experience or skills. Today I promised myself I'd go to the store, it was only a 15 minute drive away from here but I was still terrified. In the end everything went perfectly okay and I gained a little confidence. I'm going to try driving a bit more in the future and hopefully make some more progress :))

This is exactly what I needed to hear I was already in a journey of expanding my comfort zone, because mine is so small I experience fear and anxiety so often, and I'm changing that by driving more, talking to new people and overall exposing myself to new experiences

Hey Jade, I would love to see you making a video in this series about standing up for yourself when you want something and being yourself around other people.

This video showed up in my recommended, and I'm so glad it did! I've always been an over-thinker and struggled with many of the same things you mentioned. This video, especially the journal questions at the end, made me excited for my future. Thank you so much!☀️

Oooh a whole series! Cant wait to watch all the episodes and incorporate the tips and trick in my life. This summer we'll glowing up mentally and spiritually yaya!

This Video kinda made me feel bad about myself for a second that I didn't expand and experience as much as you did. But I remembered that I'm already doing my best socializing and challenging my negative beliefs. Everyone has a different tempo and I believe if you are mentally healthy and have enough capacities, every human strives towards expanding the comfort zone. Being kind to yourself sometimes means resting, sometimes it means doing something even tough you are nervous. Listening to the inner voice and the needs inside is a good advice I think:)

Jade, I have been following you for a while now and I love, love, love your channel. It almost feels like you're a long-distance friend of mine because it's incredible how many similarities we have... I'm also a vegetarian/vegan uni student studying abroad, I love learning and books and also wrote one, I have curly hair, went to an all-girls-school, have a little brother, had much difficulty passing my driver's license test (didn't work out in the beginning), I am interested in almost everything like you, didn't grow up in a town but on the countryside, always try to grow and reflect and step out of my comfort zone and much more. It almost scares me haha, but I also feel like it's so amazing to see someone so relatable for me going out there and doing all the stuff and being the person I want to be. But at the same time, you're so real and honest and you make mistakes like everyone else and you're so grown-up because you admit your flaws and that makes you even more special. You're such a role model and you motivate me in a way not many people can! Keep going girl, you're a miracle

i literally crying. thank you for boosting my confidence from this video, Jade! love you

This is the first video of yours that I'm watching and I can tell you're underrated. I had been trying out new things recently but I feel burnt out so as you mentioned I need to get back to my comfort zone for once for processing the experiences. Thanks for that! ☀️

Yeees yes

🌞 What scares me? People's opinion. And working by a planning (the fear of completely failing it again right after the start, because it happened so often and the self-anger it will bring). So that's what I'll be working on now. Thank you for this video and series 💛

I love this series and I'm excited for the next episodes to come! I consider myself someone who, despite the weeks of overthinking, goes often out of her comfort zone. However, last year I made a decision out of my ego, and I definitely snapped. So I crawled back to my comfort zone, and now I think is the right time to stand up and go out experiencing growth again :))) thank you for this video! x

the thing about making yourself like food is so true!! a lot of people think preferences are something you can’t force or train, but every year the foods i dislike become fewer and fewer and it’s all stemmed from me forcing myself to finish school food / food i’m served at other’s houses out of politeness

i’m busy preparing for my examinations but your notifications are the only thing that lights me up instantly and i’m always excited to watch your videos all love and support sis you are an inspiration i have made so many positive changes in my life watching your videos i respect you a lot love from a 17 yr old fan of your work from india

thanks so much for this series Jade!! rly needed it for a boost of motivation to continue challenging myself☀️☀️🌈

I’m autistic so living away from home for me was too overwhelming and I struggled with constant masking. However, I have learned I can expand my comfort zone even when living with my parents. Comfort zones are different for everyone and you can take moving out your comfort zone slowly if that is what you need to do to not break down. Like you Jade, I bought my first car last month and have been driving on my own! Even though I am autistic I completely agree that it is worthwhile expanding your comfort zone. However, do it in progressive steps if that will prevent you from feeling overwhelmed.

This is the motivation I was searching for. To hear it from someone who has gone through the same situation makes it more believable. My comfort zone is too small and I am going to expand it.

This was SO helpful! I’m currently applying to be head girl at my (all girls) school and I need to do a presentation in front of each year group so this video was really reassuring that I CAN do it!!

Aaaah head girl!! That's so incredible 🥰 you CAN do it, good luck

☀️ Ah! So excited for this series, already so motivating and mind opening!

Honestly Jade you're such an amazing person who's trying to upgrade themselves everyday which is a good thing. Even at the age of 17, I'm very anxious and anti social and a part of me believes that I can get better into handling my life and you're really an inspiration 💗 thankyou 💗

Thank you for the reminder that we are all a work in progress, I’m working on my gym anxiety this week and aim to work on my fears of doing things alone, small steps but feeling positive not terrified after watching this ☀️☀️☀️

Thanks for the video Jade! Often we don't realise how easy it is to expand our horizons, if we find the right way. :)

☀️ you bring such bright, beautiful and *powerful* energy into a room when you walk in

☀️I just want to say that I absolutely LOVE this first episode (especially the journal prompts) and will definitely enjoy this series! I REALLY needed this and am so glad to have found you!

I'm going into my last year of college trying to let go of my perfectionism and just center the fun of learning. It's not all about the product or the grade! ☀️ you're so inspiring Jade 🥺

I just wanted to share my personal experience here because I'm proud of myself for coming this far! Also, I can 100% relate to that intro lol. I'm a medical student (not in the US) and as such, we have to be very sociable, talking to patients and doctors, doing presentation in front of thousands of people and such. All my life up until when I started medical school three years ago (I was 17-18 years old), I've struggled with social anxiety, I didn't dare to say hello to people, I would literally be too scared to ask a teacher if I could go to the bathroom, I couldn't talk to boys, I had low self-esteem, I'd always stay at home, I only had one friend... Sigh. It was hard. I was so sad because I felt like I was wasting my youth away. At the beginning of my second year, when we started going to the hospital, I would literally come home crying because I didn't dare to talk to patients, it was painful being in the hospital and I almost gave up on my dreams of being a doctor. It felt impossible. Everything was too hard. And then... I met a boy. I really liked him, despite the fact that I never saw him before. He was an upperclassman from university and we were talking on facebook. At first, I just wanted to ask him school related stuff but as time went on, it started clicking between us. He asked me out on a date. I've been asked on dates before but I never went because I was scared to death, that they'd find me ugly or awkward or I don't know. Yet somehow, that particular day, I went. I just told myself "fxck it, I'll go", got dressed and left. I forced myself not to think about anything, or else I would've found a way out of it for sure. Next thing I know, I'm face to face with him, seeing him for the first time and being on my first date ever. And we've been dating ever since, yay~ ^^ Ever since I started dating (he's my first boyfriend), I've dared to do countless things I thought I could never do before! Now I can talk to anyone, I go out and make new friends, I'm more active at the hospital, I topped in school, met my in-laws... I feel much happier, really! Just one year prior to that, I thought I'd always be that miserable and that my all life would always feel like such a failure. Yet here I am now :). Of course, all that happened little by little, at first I was still really shy but things got better as I continued to dare to do things. It feels scary at first but it's really rewarding! So, my point is... If nothing else works, maybe try falling in love? Haha. All jokes aside, sometimes daring to «just do it!», just once, can change your whole life forever. Sorry if I made y'all read my love story ^^ I just thought it could help someone. PS: But really, nothing else worked for me! I tried signing up for volleyball, to piano lessons, going to the local library, you know, just to try and "build up" as she says but I always failed miserably, drop out after a few days and then beat myself up about it :( sometimes, it felt almost physically painful.

Thank you for sharing your story!! It inspired me a lot :)

so interesting!☀️☀️ can’t wait too see all the parts to this series🥰

I first watched this video when I was 14 and never really thought about it that much, but here I am in the fall of 2023 😂about to turn 16 in 2 months, in a new city, living alone with my sister and balancing house work and studies, making new friends, navigating public transport etc etc. I am also from a small town and always had the comfort of everything, jade you literally are my inspiration to keep improving while enjoying my life 😊

This video gave me the exact boost I needed. I always struggled with confidence, but now I am chronically ill. Even setting goals for myself is something generally out of my comfort zone. But I've been trying a new thing this year which is very similar to what you said at the end of the video. "A year from now, will I be proud of the effort I put in today?" and it could be effort in any number of departments: school, looking for part time work, expanding my social circle, or just taking time to rest and reset after an emotional rough patch. Thank you so much for this video! *virtual hug*

this video has been massively inspiring. been challenging my anxiety today. truly thankful for your words ☀️

This is such an amazing transformation can’t wait to see the results in my own life! :) x

wow, definitely this is one of my favorite videos from u jade! as a social anxious person i struggle a lot taking the bus and the train so thank u thank u for this! from the bottom of my heart it means a lot, hope ur ok

Watching your videos is so calming and inspiring, I feel like I can do anything! Thank you for being you, Jade❤☀

your video today made me cry because i am really very scared of stepping out of my bubble. I love you jade you know I am writing this comment because i think you are the best and the most positive person i have ever seen before. I find you so like me. And now that you have said this to me that you can make anything work i will do that. That is a promise. XOXO love from india. 🙌💕❤

🌝☀️ Jade, your series literally gonna be casual magic of my summer!!! Thanks for amazing video and reflection questions. It helped me to release my anxiety💜 🌞 I will be very happy and grateful if you make video about Imposter syndrome please!

I appreciate this outlook so much!! And doing little things to move out of your comfort zone helps so much! I spent two weeks on a canoe trip this summer and it did wonders for my independence! Thank you for spreading the positivi-tea! ☀️🌻

I recently fell into a bit of a slump and even though I got to travel to amazing locations with family and friends in the past month, I've been feeling more and more disconnected with myself and uncertain/scared about the future. I started dreading the organization of my gap year, even though it was something I had been looking forward to for so long, because I was scared of writing applications and putting myself out there out of the fear of not being good or ready enough. But I'm writing this to say I took the first step by reflecting on my fears through your journal prompt, which helped me to reconnect with myself and my vision in a proactive way. I'm so grateful for all the inspiration and love I get through your videos, so THANK YOU Jade!! ✨✨ sending lots of love to anyone in a similar situation and just letting you know you're not alone xx

☀️Video idea: Would love if you could talk about money. I mean it is usually treated as such a hush hush topic. Would love to know your views, beliefs and approach towards it. Saw you ig where you said you got into learning about investing too...so maybe a video on something that encompasses all the above topics...

You are so much younger than me, but you're incredibly wise! Love your content!! Am learning so much

As an autistic and anxious person, this idea of expanding my comfort zone one tiny step at a time is something that helps me a lot. I still struggle doing a lot of things, but this will hopefully get better when I finally get to go to therapy. Great video, very helpful!!

I loved this video!! I have always put myself in situations that make me get out of my comfort zone : moving over 10 times, moving to a country without speaking the language, starting a youtube channel, writing my first ebook all while being an introvert and 16 😂 but it can still be so HARD sometimes so I really appreciated this video and can't wait for more videos in this series ❤️❤️

I will show this to my kids

Really wonderful and helpful video. I’m so excited to keep following the series!! Also, where did you get that shirt?!? I love it so much.

I love that you mentioned coming back into your comfort zone 🥰 I love pushing myself but it’s also great to regroup, rest and resume

Thak you for this video Jade!! Passing it on to my little sister, who is struggling with finishing high school and starting to imagine a life for herself as a young adult. Love from Argentina 🌟

I would love a video about vulnerability!!

It's time for a little selfcare with Jade ✨👩‍💻 (honestly, your videos are so calming 👀)

Hi Jade ☀ I'm from Bahia, Brazil and I want to thank you so much for sharing your personal growth process. It's really inspiring to follow along and identify with so many difficulties you've had, like shivering every time you're going to speak in public (with me, my voice just cracks and my thoughts hang) and see how far you've come. I like your "people like us" and "you can do it too" feel. That's it, thanks again. xêro and hug

This is my favourite video of yours in a while, it was so comforting and motivating 🥰

☀️I loved this!
