I love this! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for listening to it Carla!
Living not rushing
Absolutely! Wish it hadn’t taken me years to figure it out. 🙂
I love this. I have been doing the same 2 affirmations in the shower every morning since I was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer 18 years ago. I do then add a third different affirmation weekly in my journal. I repeat each 3 times, first out loud then in a whisper then silently.
@@deniseg5424 thank you for sharing this Denise! Sounds like this has been working well for you. ❤️
thank you!
@@suzannesperl4917 hi Suzanne! How are you?
Nice
@@md.ridoyali6952 thank you!
Very nice video, but your channel is not monetized. A channel monetization requires 1000 subscribers and 4000 minutes of watch time, which is not available in your channel. If you want, I can monetize your channel.
Beautiful ❤️ Thank you
It definitely stems from trauma and is in and of itself an unhealed trauma symptom. It is the flight response of the nervous system, and it's arguably the most societally praised of the four trauma nervous responses, so that external validation adds to it as well as the programming you mentioned. I have found a lot of relief from magic 🍄 trips
I would add that a lot of us bounce back and forth from the flight and freeze response but always try to stay in flight because freeze response is the opposite of societally praised.
@@alisiademi These are really great points Alisia! I really appreciate you sharing and adding to the conversation on this. Trauma response may not be the first thing one would think of, but I can definitely see this being a root cause.
I find it very hard to focus on goid because of pain.
I am the exact opposite..... Because of my daily pain, I LOOK for the small wonders... The little bird. A rain drop upon my face. My granddaughters smile.... Every day brings beautiful wonders ❤️
@@nbmwood I am so glad you shared your experience here. I know you are not alone in finding this helpful and it means so much more to hear this from someone else experiencing pain in their life. For both of you, I hope that your pain may subside and be short-lived. ❤️
Very nice
Thank you so much for watching!
Wow Very Nice Video
thank you! Thank you for watching!
I am so exhausted all the time and feel so defeated by how little I get done. Your suggestion to reduce the number of things and then reduce it more sounds like a good idea but then it gets me thinking that maybe I will get too little done and never achieve my goals.
Senta, I'm sure the lack of energy for what you want to accomplish can be so discouraging. Hopefully you are able to get the support you need to be able to optimize your health and energy. I've been thinking a bit about your concern about getting too little done and not achieving your goals. I think with feeling exhausted, it becomes even more important to get very clear on what is truly most important to you so that you don't deplete yourself by trying to accomplish too much. At the end of the day there are only so many hours in the day and one can only be so efficient. Not to mention, you need to rest to restore to find the creativity and energy to be able to achieve those goals. Perhaps you shouldn't look at it like having to give up on any of your dreams, rather that you are prioritizing so that you can focus your time and energy in the most effective way. Not to mention, I've been amazed at the extra creativity one can find to do things in a much shorter time frame, when you are well rested and well nurtured. ❤
How liberal! If it isn't from Christ, your joy is vanity! God bless!
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. ❤️
Happiness is always a fleeting feeling, but true joy lasts through the trials. My joy is from the Lord ❤️
I do agree that happiness is fleeting and that true joy last through trials. I also believe that sometimes it can be easy to get lost in the hustle of a too busy life. And that when we slow down and see the beauty and goodness all around us in small simple moments, those moments can provide happiness often. How wonderful that you have found true lasting joy. ❤️
I would say tou have never truly struggled. Like not have enough money to buy food or don't know how your going to pay rent. I mean if it is my job to be happy.
While I am blessed that today I have more than enough financially, there have been times in my life where I didn’t have enough money for food or the rent - many personal things lost to the pawn shops in those days. I’ve also felt heart wrenching loss that through me into the gloom of depression. What I found interesting was that even then, while I was so sad, I could feel a bit of joy at the same time while stopping to appreciate a tiny flower. I hope if you are struggling now, that your struggles are short lived and you find happiness in your life despite it. ❤️
I am at the point where taking care of myself and going on walks feel like another thing I am adding to my to do list.
I can so resonate with this - hope you are able to join the challenge and begin to really enjoy these activities once again. ❤️
Very excited - I need this so bad.
Hi Debbie! So excited that you will be joining me for this! ❤️
This is exactly what I need right now! Thank you Julie! ❤
So glad! It will be great to share this with you Anne!!!
Wow Very nice Video
Thank you!
Julie, I love this. (and I love sushi). It's so nice getting a personal glimpse of you with your family. i have been slowing down more, giving myself moments of relaxing, visits, reading or just sitting outside and not worrying about the housework or tasks I didn't get done today. Seems somedays I try to pack as many tasks and errands in as I can tolerate, thinking "get it all done today and tomorrow will be free", but it seems that tomorrow is just as crazy busy. I need to intentionally stop and give myself some me time.
Thank you for this
So happy it resonated with you. 🥰
Great advice! I can relate. No more. Good habits and self care moving forward
Yes! You deserve this Leonora!
tnx very much, very relaxing voice.
Aw, thank you for telling me this ❤️
Nice!!
Thanks!
You are doing amazing ❤
Thank you so much! 💗
Thanks Julie! I love this. I want to take more control of my mornings and do 3 things each morning; meditate, journal and exercise. I sometimes do this, but certainly not consistently. I do get up between 6 and 6:30 but too often waste time drinking coffee and watching the local news or Today show. Then I’m rushing ! Not watching news is on my Say No To list! Maybe I should start by cutting down on news in the morning.
That sounds like a great place to start. Another idea might be to attempt to switch to drinking your coffee while you are journaling. best wishes with tweaking your routine!
Thank you Julie for this great video and the journal prompts! 😊 I love your ideas.
Thank you so much for letting me know this resonates with you. ❤️
Does driving count? I don’t like to drive and I know for sure it’s by far the most dangerous part of my day.
If you really don’t like doing it- like have to kind of force yourself to do it, I’d say it counts. I think it has to be more aversion than just something you don’t like to do. Can’t say I like driving either.
i do have all of these even with sleep
Bummer... I did too at one point. Good thing, is that generally all this can change by changing some habits, ways of living and thinking. Slowing down and mindfulness may be good places to start.💜
@@jmbliving ty for the tip
Great video Julie. I watched it yesterday and put into practice saying “cancel that” to negative thoughts. it has been working wonderfully! Specially when I wake at 3 am with those negative thoughts. So thank you for that.. 🙏🏽
I’m so glad you’ve found that little phrase as helpful as I have. ❤️
This was great! The thought of " yes, I have a lot to do and that is just the way it is" is truly relaxing! Thanks for sharing this~
Thanks Robin! We all need a lot more relaxing, that’s for sure! 🥰
Enjoyed your journal walk through. Thank you!
Thank you Jenna! I’m so glad! Have a wonderful day!
Believe it can happen!!❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
Thank you! This is inspiring
So glad you thought so! It really has been helping me. Hope you find it helpful too! 🥰
💧interesting talk with the Axiom H2 machine and benefits of Molecular Hydrogen.
Love a mystery
This is wonderful!! Thank you❤️❤️
You are so welcome! So glad it resonated with you! 💕
Thanks Tonya! ❤❤❤
Julie - you are soooo inspiring!!
Love this mindset shift!
Thanks Carla!
My word is FUN, it might sound silly but it works for me 🙃
I don’t think it sounds silly at all. I think most of us could probably use a bit more fun in our lives. 💕
Beautiful
Thank you ❤️
Thank you for another great video! Would it be possible to get a small wearable microphone? It's difficult to hear you and a mic may help x
Thank you so much for letting me know this. I will look into this. I so appreciate your feedback!
I would love to know more about any information you can find 🎉
You got it! I really do think I want to do a little research on other digital journaling apps after trying this one.
Guided meditations please 🎉🎉❤❤
Was thinking I'd put the meditations you requested in the community space, but I could add some here as well.❤️
Sounds great 🎉
Thank you for such a beautiful, peaceful video. The prompts are lovely and will help me reflect deeply. I plan to begin with one or two today. ❤️

❤❤ Great job, Julie! That was definitely perfect topics and questions for us to ask ourselves. We often need that to reel ourselves back in to actually live "in the present" vs having days full of frustration and chaos mixed with constant challenges. Refreshing!
Brilliant!
