Dancing With Discomfort
Canada
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 22 มี.ค. 2024
Hoping to give good vibes consistently, because I can’t guarantee a consistent niche.
This channel was created to challenge myself to get out of my comfort zone, and share how I believe seeking discomfort can be a good thing for growth.
Now I create videos based on whatever inspires me. Sometimes it's related to discomfort, but sometimes it's not.
Still figuring things out, and learning as I go!

We are ALL living in our own bubbles!
Recently I've been reflecting on how even though I try to be open to new perspectives and ideas, I will always be stuck in some form of a bubble. I feel like "echo chamber" is thrown around a lot, but usually as a negative. I think it is important to expand what we are aware of...but also, I like being in a bubble sometimes...My bubble consists of nice people, and people who want to question things. It may be a bubble that is always changing, but still....there are so many views I will never understand!
I don't have answers in this video, mostly just more questions....
Thanks for joining me, from my bubble to yours!

How I finally figured out journaling!
มุมมอง 20หลายเดือนก่อน
Have you struggled with figuring out how to journal? Have you tried to start journaling daily and “failed” many times? Me too! In this video I chat about the things that helped me go from sporadic journaler to someone who has been journaling daily, and what my journaling practice looks like. We often hear about the benefits of journaling, but I wanted to share HOW I actually journal, because I ...
I Might be Falling for Autumn...
มุมมอง 14หลายเดือนก่อน
A compilation of pictures and videos taken over the past few days in an attempt to view fall in a more positive light. There are lots of great things about fall, and unfortunately, I often feel dread rather than excitement about fall... I would like to enjoy this season more than I have been! #autumncolors #autumn #naturephotography #reframingmindset #birds #beavers #trees #leaves #halloween
a friend tries zucchini for the first time
มุมมอง 32 หลายเดือนก่อน
Have you ever tried something once and then decided you didn't think you liked it? We didn't want to risk that in this case, so went hard and got my friend trying zucchini 6 different ways (5 different cooking methods) for her first time having zucchini. I've had zucchini several different ways, but not with these methods before. Timestamps 00:00 intro 01:04 Trying raw/plain zucchini 02:07 Tryi...
Why I don't want to make Youtube Shorts
มุมมอง 72 หลายเดือนก่อน
I decided to try to record myself while in a more “public” setting the other day. I ended up doing this on a whim, so I didn’t have much of a plan in terms of what I was going to record. In editing, I tried to make things flow as much as I could, while also cutting out all the times I had to stop in the middle of things I was saying for people to pass by me, which was quite frequent. Hopefully ...

Do I have a perfectionism problem??
มุมมอง 93 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this far from perfect video, I chat about my struggles with what I am coining "idea perfectionism" or "fantasy perfectionism". I don't expect anything I do to ever be perfect, but in my head I often imagine myself executing things way better than I ever could in real life. For me, sometimes this perfectionism can make it difficult for me to start and finish things. #procrastination #perfecti...
I used to be scared of birds! How I got over my fear of birds
มุมมอง 93 หลายเดือนก่อน
I have spent years of my life with a fear of birds, but noticed recently that my fear of birds has diminished! I tried to think about some of the things that I think helped me, and what I would advise if you are trying to get over a fear of birds. In this video go over several things including: What I think helped me get over my fear of birds What I would advise for resources to understand bird...
I started making YouTube videos at 30...Here's why I am glad I started when I did!
มุมมอง 83 หลายเดือนก่อน
Sometimes it can feel like we've waited too long to start things, or that we should have done things sooner... The goal of this video is to celebrate the advantages and insights we can gain through living our lives, rather than dwelling on feeling bad that we didn't start until we did. If you are alive, and able to do something, then I believe that means it's not too late to start whatever your...
A visual comparison of White Clover and Microclover
มุมมอง 314 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video I show some of the clover that I have planted over the last few years. For the microclover I will be comparing from 2 different locations. These were all pulled out for comparison on the same day. Also can see some of the creepy root system that clover spreads with, which is pretty neat in my opinion. This is just for fun, and there are lots of factors that I think come into play ...
Pros and Cons of White Clover and Microclover as a lawn solution
มุมมอง 3054 หลายเดือนก่อน
Are you curious about white clover or microclover as a lawn solution/alternative? Claims about the benefits of clover as a supplement to grass lawns are easy to find. Clover lawns are often touted as low maintenance and eco friendly solution. But how good are they really? Let's talk about it! In this video I dive into some of the claimed positives (and dig into if they are actually true), cons,...
Attempting to resurrect Sol Cuisine's Moussaka Meatballs!
มุมมอง 114 หลายเดือนก่อน
Welcome to episode 3 of “Discomforts in the Kitchen”, another video where I of challenging myself to make a food I am not used to making. The goal of today’s video was to try to make a dupe of Sol Cuisine’s Moussaka “Meatballs”. I had seen these disappear out of grocery stores a few years ago, but they have been sorely missed by me. I decided why not try to make them! *This video is not a recip...
How to concert: Tips for if you are nervous about going to your first concert
มุมมอง 64 หลายเดือนก่อน
I have gone to a fair amount of concerts/shows in my time, and thought I would share some of the things I would recommend to a newer concert goer! For some context regarding my experience, I primarily go to metal shows, but I've been to some pop concerts, rock, rockabilly, punk, ska, indie/singer songwriter, electronic music, and funk. I've gone to some larger, stadium style shows, but the majo...

Why I Don't Wear Makeup Anymore
มุมมอง 4215 หลายเดือนก่อน
I came to the uncomfortable realization recently that I needed to come to terms with just getting rid of a bunch of expired makeup...because I haven't used any of it in quite a while. Decluttering can be hard for me, but it helped me to walk myself through the reality that I actually don't have much of a desire to wear makeup anymore, and that for me, at this time, buying and keeping makeup doe...

An introduction to this channel...WTF am I doing?
So many cool logos! And cool thumbnail 😄 But yeah I have three accounts on Threads for different interest filtering, and that's not for stuff I *don't* like 😅 it really is scary engaging with other content, cuz the algorithm on sites will just force that on you and it's like "no wait, you're ruining my happy space" if you try engaging critically with anything "other". Maybe we do all need a burner account.. if you try Ground News lemme know how that is! I wish people wouldn't believe shit they see on Facebook 😅
I purposefully tried not to use the metaphors "filter bubble" and "echo chamber" much to discuss these ideas, as I think those terms are a bit reductive (and also their validity has been debated in scientific literature). I think we are all isolated from ideas and opinions to some degree, and it's a complicated mix of who we know, what privileges we have, internet algorithms, where we live...the list goes on and on. What makes your bubble a cozy place? What you do to try to escape your bubble/peer out of your bubble? Have you been able to find a balance?
Glad you've got a system that's working so well for you! My calendar is a pretty good keeper of tasks without more depth, which would be nice, but I've failed at journals and sketchbooks over and over because of that aesthetics hangup lol am not strong enough to scribble 😅
Thanks! I like the idea of a calendar as a way of journaling without overthinking things! Maybe you could try to just write more in depth things in an agenda or something if the calensar sysyem works well for you, but not as much depth as you want? The aesthetic hang up is so real! If you do get the courage to say screw it and start scribbling, I will be in your corner cheering you on!
Literally been thinking about this topic so it’s very relevant
Ugh yeah the fickle temperatures are my least favorite part, I can't pick an outfit for a whole day, but aside from that, it's still my favorite because I prefer cozy stuff anyway lol
Love that for you with the yappy birds so nearby x3
I killed my weed/grass/wildflower lawn. Got tired of mowing it every 3 days. I am putting in micro clover and ground cover flowers, hopefully it will work. Quack grass is my biggest problem.
I hope it works out for you! Every 3 days is too much to be mowing!
I've gotta task triage writing more often, get it out in bits first because I forget the nice eloquent way I was going to put it, and then never wrote it at all. Can't edit a blank page right? :)
Yes! I've been trying to get better at trying to jot down more than just the initial concept of an idea when trying to save an idea for later...but it can then also be so time consuming at inconvenient times haha.
Also I love the thumbnail lol@@DancingWithDiscomfort
Appreciate your candid, honest thinking. Best wishes.
@@steventroyer1463 thanks so much :)
TH-cam is definitely better tackled with a mature mind/understanding of oneself, glad you're being true to you :)
Thanks for joining me! What is your relationship with makeup like? Has it changed for you at all recently?
Let's GO Self-Cringe GANGggg! You've almost motivated me to go back to my first video to see if I can get through it.. almost ;) Compelling points though, there's nowhere to go but up for here! I definitely feel better with my stuff now, and I'm sure you will too, just gotta Shia Leboboo *DO IT*! (I am being awkwardly motivational, I apologize ':) you were very personable in this video fyi :) ).
Thank you! I will take all of the awkward motivation from you I can get and love them all <3
it's absolutely worthy to make a video about!! thank you! :)
First subscriber! I am excited to watch your journey here.
Welcome! Thanks for joining me :)
