The bloopers at the end have me DYING-as someone who went to film school, these moments are so real behind the scenes 😂
The thing that you said about the menu instead of a routine, was so helpful. Over time now I am struggling to find the perfect routine and stick to it every single day. Indeed, there is a lot of pressure and somehow the outside world convinced me that this is the only way. But, a part of me always found this method very cruel. Your words touched this part of me and it was a huge relief. And also you recommended something that makes a clear sense but somehow I have never thought about it before. Thank you so much :)
One thing I’ll add: if you have now made two or three random friends that don’t know each other, have them over together! A dinner party, bbq, decorate cookies, play a board game etc. I’ve learned that most people also want to meet other people, and my random friends I’ve made tend to get along well! So don’t worry if it’s not a cohesive circle, force it to now be your own group
As a therapist 50% in life goals is a win.
Saaame with jigsaws, I love them :D Regarding affirmations, I also get no positive thoughts from just randomly telling myself i'm smart and beautiful. What works for me instead is, when my mind starts throwing negative thoughts at me i go whoa whoa stop... and then try to find a positive retort. Sort of, I wouldn't speak like this to my friend so why I am i speaking like this to me, way.
I work from home, and your suggestion to take a walk in lieu of commuting is brilliant. I'm adding that to my routine this week. I typically take a walk at lunch, but having a way to snap out of work mode and start relaxing is just genius.
What I got from this video is I need a dog,
when i think about my thoughts i think of my bedroom being very untidy with a hole in the middle and the thoughts fall into my eyes and then i can say what i'm thinking so the cloud makes a lot of sense to me
Threat Level Midnight!😂😂😂
This was amazing! So interesting and practical. Thanks for sharing so much 😊 I’ve only recently discovered your channel and now I get to binge watch older videos, yay 🥳 The BTS at the end was brilliant 😄
Morgannnnnn I fucking LOVE your videos, I hope you remember the positive impact you have on your viewers when you're feeling low xxx
I love these chatty videos so much and you are such a breath of freash air! Thanks for this video! I have had to adjust to a life with chronic illnesses so working with a thought process around rest being productive is ongoing journey for me! also.... showering you with love and affection in an appropriate way all the way from the UK
Favorite word: ostensibly Best piece of advice: don’t lump all of your problems together in your mind. Face them individually.
doing an uncomfortable hobby(my job) while watching this at midnight
u r my comfort youtuber
"stop focusing on things you cant control" wow thanks, needed that one. 😅😅😅
Thank you for this cozy and lovely chat 😊
Your recommendation of pairing uncomfortable things with comfortable things was really helpful. Thanks!
🧡🧡🧡
11:26 this was a good reminder for me. I took this week off work to be productive on a bunch of different house projects, and did kind of alright on that front, and then Thursday morning I got hit with a TMJ migraine and I’ve been down for the count since. It’s been frustrating the past two days thinking about all the stuff I wanted to do but physically can’t, but right now my best really is just rest. Maybe tomorrow will be better
*showering you with love and affection in an appropriate way* 💕🚿 I am a new subscriber and very happy to have found this lil comfort zone, (hi everyone!) thank you for all the time and effort you pour into your videos, Morgan!
If only there was a way to micro goal pregnancy….every time I think about it I freak out and want to hide under my covers. 😂 We want to start trying soon and I’m literally so terrified. Wish there was a way for a stork to deliver them after their potty trained. Lol
OMG same! I guess the micro goals still apply because you don't have to do everything all at once. I keep freaking out about this, too, because I already think about future obstacles or problems. It won't come out as a cheeky toddler or difficult teenager, though. You have years to adjust to the situation and new role. At least, this is what I tell myself. 😂 Good luck!
Agree with terrible puzzle box design, who does that??! The 2 box halves are an integral part of the puzzle doing! Recently discovered your channel and I’m here to stay, loved this in particular! Sending much perfectly appropriate love and affection from the UK 😁
Perfect balance of relatable and aspirational and thank you for your wonderful vibe
Aw thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed 🥰
Coupling comfy w/ uncomfy is clutch. When I started ultimate Frisbee I forced my friend to join a rec league with me. 15 years later, I’m still playing and it’s introduced me to wild experiences I wouldn’t have otherwise had.
Whooaaa, the “Maximizer” discussion, functional freezes, and bullying yourself RESONATE SO MUCH with me! I’m speechless. Definitely going to carry this forward and work on not being so hard on myself on days when I feel unproductive, even if just to recognize what is going on in my head. Thanks for sharing this!
I could watch videos of you chatting and doing cozy hobbies all day.
Hi. Sorry to bother but can you disable auto dubbing for your videos (unless you have some kind of metric saying many people use it and I'm the only one complaining haha)? Its a feature only creators can disable and every time I click on your videos I have an awful AI voice in my native language that i have to go to settings to put back the original audio. I hope TH-cam lets us disable this on the client side of the app/website soon
Hi! Omg I had no idea! I disabled it in my default settings - I'm not sure if this turns it off for videos that I've already uploaded, but it should disable it for any future videos!
You seem to be doing well lately. So happy for you. PS- I have a plastic food storage container that I use while doing puzzles if the box doesn’t open into a container. 😊
how did you know the very specific video I'm looking for !!
Thanks for the calm, kind, average advice 😊
At the time of posting this video, wildfires are devastating LA County. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this tragedy. As I mentioned in the video, I started my social media journey as a sustainability creator-an everyday person who believed (and still believes) in the importance of protecting our planet. While sustainability isn’t the main focus of my content anymore, it’s still a cause I care about deeply. These fires are a heartbreaking reminder of how we (and by we, I mean big oil and its adjacent billionaires) have failed to prioritize our planet. But through the power of collective action and compassion I still believe we can still make a difference. If you’re able, please consider donating to the LA Fire Department Foundation fundraiser linked to this video, or to one of the organizations listed below. Your support can make a meaningful difference for those impacted by the wildfires and for the future of our planet. *Donate to Wildfire Relief:* -Mutual Aid LA (a hub connecting mutual aid efforts, people, and resources in Los Angeles): mutualaidla.org/ -Second Markets (coordinating donation of clothes both locally and out of state): airtable.com/appbe5MnnoOhLB6Qw/pagJuWxnYB6vsaO4s/form?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaaMjXRjcFsS7nJgjF1280limEmx1aKGdpGV2Ne8WvmPzjHVb8KTTxJbFfk_aem_xW8V2eC5bdDAEsegMpMniA -World Central Kitchen (providing sandwiches and water throughout the affected areas): donate.wck.org/give/499865#!/donation/checkout -California Fire Foundation (supports victims of wildfires and disasters throughout California): www.cafirefoundation.org/ *Take Climate Action:* -Last Chance Alliance: lastchancealliance.org/action-center/ -Citizens’ Climate Lobby: citizensclimatelobby.org/ -Sunrise Movement: www.sunrisemovement.org/ -350: 350.org/ -Black Girl Environmentalist: blackgirlenvironmentalist.org/ -ACE: acespace.org *Sustainability accounts to follow (these are just handful - there’s sooo many good ones):* -@itsthegarbagequeen -@karishmaclimategirl -@wawa-gatheru -@theearthstewardess -@venetialamanna -@queerbrownvegan
Thank you for helping me realize that I am also a maximizer! I strive to be productive, thinking it's a good thing, but sometimes it causes a crippling feeling in my whole body, and then I functionally freeze. ❤
Yes, me too. It occurs to me this is the reason I struggle with e.g. Asos if I'm after anything generic like a T-shirt. 64687 options you say, even after filtering? My brain will stubbornly obsess over looking at *every* option. I try to keep it under control but honestly I have started to be grateful for shops with very constrained, well-curated options 😅
Yes, this is exactly my struggle as well lol. Online shopping is a blessing and a curse. On one hand I love all the options, on the other hand I hate scouring the internet for days to ensure I've reviewed every possible selection. By the time I actually buy something I'm just exhausted haha. I told David the other day I kinda miss the days when our options were limited to just whatever we could find in the store.
That puzzle! 😂 Puzzles get us through the cold, useless winter in Maine.
i love your sweater! where is it from??
Thank you! It was a rental in my Nuuly last month (brand is Anthropology)
oh man memory recovered. I used to get a rave light as a teen and have it go with techno music in the shower and hype myself up to get ready for the day. My showers are very much chill now.
I’m sure your housemates much prefer it this way😅
Love this! Also love your green paint 😍 Can you please share the brand/color??
Thank you!! Saybrook Sage from Benjamin Moore paint!
@morganevelyncook thank youuuu 💚
Hi Morgan! New subscriber here jumping in very late to unnecessarily say that yes, biannual means twice yearly, biennial means every other year. 🙈
better late than never!! thank you hahah
Also I may or may not be naked 🫣 this is top tier TH-cam viewing.
Goose is a total Joey
100% Joey vibes
That scene of you in functional freeze. Omg. So familiar. Including getting off the couch, to your feet, and then just...... Thank you.
Glad (but also sorry) that you get it 😅😂
love it! i have fairy lights in my shower too ♥️ i hope this year brings your mental and emotional rest and happiness
😮 fairy lights in the shower!?! How has this never occurred to me!?! ❤🤯
May your showers never be the same again ✨
the title being average advice is so real hahaha
Ya know, it’s important to manage expectations lol
The most practical advice ever
I’m early for once! Happy Friday!
Happy Friday!! 🤗
Definitely go back! Animal shelters usually have low expectations for the volunteers so after you establish yourself there you’ll be fine and comfortable ❤
Ansolutely gonna try that menu thing but try and keep it small cus I will have decision paralysis otherwise.
I would argue that you have made a 50% growth gain and this is coming from a teacher who works with struggling students so I would say it is a win.
This video made me appreciate you so much I’ve subscribed 😆 I’ve watched so many videos about how to live a better life with all the things you’ve listed and they just aren’t for me. I’ve never felt as stupid as I do trying to say an affirmation to myself in the mirror 😂
I always ask for measurements and fabric content if it's a brand I don't know, an item that's old enough not to be on a website anymore or a vintage piece. Unfortunately most sellers are not educated about fabric content (or have cut out the labels) and don't own a measuring tape.
