Thank you so much! 🥰 the same goes for me too, there’s not many people doing what I do! But feel free to hit me up if you need your network of support! 😄

Philosophy not so much, apart from Ryan Holiday and a little bit of stoicism. But I do hope to get into psychology soon! What would you recommend? 🙏🏻

It was my pleasure Sarohi! Really glad you liked this! 🥰

Thank you so much for that suggestion, that makes a lot of sense! 🥰 I appreciate you! I’ll pass on the instructions to my editor so that he can implement in the following week’s video. I guess I was too busy trying to cram info in that I totally overlooked it 😂

My pleasure! 🥰

Hi Shawnee thank you so much for the kind words! 🥰 yeah the fundamental concept is so powerful but the book took a fair amount of waffling to get to the main point, so I decided it might be better to summarize it 😅 did you try the method out? Mind sharing your results?

Hey Abdallah! 🥰 You don't have to stop, but just remember to keep in mind that not everything will be helpful, especially when not science-backed. Nowadays I try to double-check against the appendix and attachments at the back of the book!

Oh man I'm so sorry to hear that. That must have been really tough - for you to stress yourself to the point of getting sick 😔 Feel free to reach out if you ever want to bounce thoughts/ideas off another person! And you're right - re-reading four thousand weeks and meditations for mortals definitely helps us to get our heads right!

Thank you so much as always Shawnee, I appreciate your comments on every video! 🥰 OMG SAME HERE I have so much to do before the end of the year too! Same as you, I'm trying to live in the moment and accept that whatever gets done, gets done. Whatever doesn't - that's okay. I hope the end of year rush goes well for you, sending you lots of love and encouragement! ❤

@ Thanks!!

Thank you so much! 🥰 Hmm I probably could write up some notes in the future to see if that helps viewers!

This is definitely a great idea thank you so much! 🥰 It is something that I have been thinking about, but unfortunately I do not quite have the capacity for it at the moment. Hopefully sometime next year or the year after I can put something together! I hopefully will have some capacity to do mindmaps AND notes on every book here. Fingers crossed! Btw I LOVE all of the books that you mentioned, I have a 12-week year video coming out next week! 🥰

Love this idea! I’ve read so many books and love the ideas in them, but it would be more useful to pull the main concepts together. Taking notes in the front of the book helps me pull out concepts. Also, putting the ideas to work in a practical way solidifies the ideas so you can add to them.

@@shawneejohnson247 Guess I really gotta try put to this together sometime soon in the future! 😉

So far, I don't have a system yet haha whoops 😅 For me right now it's just reading, testing, and keeping only those that work. Those that do not work are discarded and forgotten 😅

@@LizLovesReadingSelfHelp thanks for your reply. I'm a big fan of your work. Lots of love for you ❤️.

@@howhello354 Aww thank you so much you're so sweet! 🥰 Sending you lots of love too! ❤❤

Thank you so much again! It really means a lot to me that you're binging the videos, thank youuu 🥰 I'll do my best to keep producing the graphics (I love doing this too!) and putting books to the test. I've got a book test video coming out within the next month (The 12-Week Year) if you're interested! It's not done yet, but hopefully soon!

Thank you so much for the comment and the sub, that means a lot! 🥰 And yes! Perhaps I could do another life experiment on this book in the future, there's a lot of the book I didn't manage to cover, thank you so much for the suggestion! 🥰

It was my pleasure! 🥰 And thank you so much for taking the time to watch the vid and let me know too, I appreciate it! And yeahhh same here sometimes I'm STILL guilty of spending time on the easy stuff. Tough habit to get rid of!

Oooh let me know if you managed to get rid of any of your background stressors, I'd love to hear about it! Oh man why does your radio annoy you? And thank you so much as always for your support Shawnee! 🥰 HAHA I also always wondered why taking a walk/hike/being around nature was so soothing too, now we know!

@ I don’t know why. My mind just craves the quiet. I can’t think with the radio going. But sometimes I turn on music when I’m feeling it haha.

@@shawneejohnson247 Hmm in that case I don't think it's really a background stressor cos you already know what to do :) But it's really great that you've developed such good habits (like enjoying the quiet). That's something I'm still trying to do myself haha 😅

Thank you so much! Glad you noticed! 🥰

Hi! Thank you so much for taking the time to discuss your input, I appreciate it! 🥰 That's interesting! Can I ask what books/research you'd recommend when it comes to positive thinking? I'd love to check it out! I think Oliver (the author) also brings out research that positive affirmations actually make people feel worse about themselves, I didn't have time to go through it in the video though. Would love your input cos I'm still kinda new to all this self-help and research-backed studies! 😅

@@LizLovesReadingSelfHelp Thank you for your reply! th-cam.com/video/ycTZ_t-aiuU/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared&t=2622 I've been doing this exercise since last year and i have to say it works great for me. I suspect negative thinking may help some people but for me there is no way. In the past whenever i started thinking negatively it drained all my energy. I mean if you spend all day thinking you're the best probably it would be bad too but when i have bad thoughts i try to switch them to positive ones and usually it helps me forget the thing i was worrying about and continue about my day. I can think negatively about a subject for hours and hours. And for a example, if i wanted to talk to somebody and i thought negatively like she will reject me, embarrass me in front of people, maybe she already has a bf etc. how can i talk to her? But if think positively like if i talk to her respectfully the worst she could say is no but there is also a chance she could accept, then i could take action. th-cam.com/video/ZXWLBRtl4DI/w-d-xo.html Imo, it gets better and easier with practice.

Thank you so much Abdallah you're always so kind and I appreciate you so much! 😭🥰 I'm glad you're still enjoying the videos and I'll keep improving to make sure that I put out valuable content always! 🥰

thank you so much Edwin! I'm really glad that this was helpful and insightful 🥰

Thank you so much as always Shawnee! 🥰 It really helps to remember that in the face of 'failure' sometimes haha. Pushing on!!! 💪

It was my pleasure! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to let me know how you felt 🥰 I hope you can better understand yourself now :)

Hey Marsha! Do you mind explaining what you mean by this so I can better understand? I'm afraid I'm a little bit lost 😅

Thank you so much! I definitely won't give up 🥰

HAHAHA 😂 It's quite interesting to go through the white bear experiment right!! 😂

Thank you so much Abdallah! I really appreciate you and your constant support 🥰 Haha and yeah that was a slap in the face that I think we all need 😅

Thank you so much! 🥰 I'm glad you liked the tips!

Thank you again Kallitayah! It really means a lot to me that you actually took the time to come back, wow! 🥰 I'm really glad you liked the video that much! I'll do my best to keep up the videos and also improve over time. Thank youuuu so much for your comments and support! 🙏

Oh wow Shawnee it seems you're already doing a lot of things right! Did you by any chance read Four Thousand Weeks before? Haha the rocks in the jar theory had me convinced too, then I read Oliver's book and I was like "oh waitttt" HAHA. Thank you so much for the book suggestion as well! I have a long list of books in my to-read-list at the moment but I'll add it! 🥰

Sometimes it's better NOT to be 100% efficient 😂

Thank you so much as always! 🥰 I'm also always constantly on edge and trying too hard to do too many things. If you need any help/encouragement, feel free to hit me up! 🥰

Awww thank you!! My editor put that in for me hahaha 😂❤️

Hi so sorry I can't reveal that cos it's a faceless channel (unlike this one you're watching right now)!

Aww thank you so much for watching! I appreciate you! 🥰

Aww thank you so much that is insanely high praise and I appreciate it! 🥰 I will probably do more Cal Newport experiment videos in the future!

Hi Shafik! Thank you so much for the comment and the follow, it really means a lot to me! 🥰 I'm really glad you liked how the book was applied!

Hi thank you so much! 🥰 I hired from Linkedin, though it took me a long time to find someone who was good (almost 12 months). Have you tried Upwork and VidChops? Those are the most recommended!

Hey Joey! Haha probably because my channel is new and TH-cam is still trying to figure out the audience XD Thank you so much for watching and commenting and subbing! 🥰

Thank YOU so much Abdallah, for always watching my videos! 🥰 I hope the lessons were useful 💕

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it 🥰

Thank you so much RJ! It means a lot that you watched this and commented too 🥰 Let me know how you find Meditations for Mortals! I got it in September, think it somehow got released in Asia slightly earlier haha XD

@@LizLovesReadingSelfHelp so far I just finished week 1 and am reading it one day at a time as Oliver suggests :D I somehow missed that he'd released a new book until I caught him on Cal Newport's podcast talking about it but it still looks like it wasn't released in Canada until October 8. I love his writing and it's so good so far! I'll keep you posted as I get through it all 😊

@@FindYourFlow That's definitely the way to go! Ah yeah the US and Canada release date is Oct 8, but it somehow got released to the UK and Asia like a month earlier haha so strange. I'm really glad you're enjoying it and I'd love to hear what you think about it when you're done! 🥰

@@LizLovesReadingSelfHelp Hi Liz, I just finished the last pages of the book! It was really good! I like Oliver's writing a lot and his perspective definitely helps to temper my perfectionist tendencies and always striving.

@@FindYourFlow Hey RJ! Thank you so much for being so sweet and updating me on it, I really appreciate it! 🥰 Was it your favorite book by Oliver? I love how concise it was too! Thought some of his other books were a wee bit confusing to follow along sometimes hahaha 😅

Thank you so much for always watching the weekly videos Shawnee, appreciate you! 🥰 HAHA love the video clip too I think I've rewatched it dozens of times over the years hahaha XD And true that! Very simple ideas but hard to implement haha. Hopefully you and your daughter slowly improve at worrying less and doing more! 💕

Loved the video, btw, and your channel! I hope it prospers after all your hard work :)

Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know which parts are harder to understand so I can take note! The 4 questions on the screen are what I came up with for myself, it's not from Ryan. He said to find enough from inside you, so to answer your question, you should determine for yourself what is considered to be enough - there's no need to take my viewpoints on it. I hope this helps! 🥰

@@wolnix4135 Aww thank you you're so sweet!! I really appreciate you watching it, and 3 times at that hahah 🥰

Thank you so much Salah! It means a lot that you watch my videos and leave comments 🥰

Hi Salah! HAHA I hope that's in a good way XD

@@LizLovesReadingSelfHelpyeah of course😅😄💙💙

@@salahbouja7431 Haha aww thank you! 🥰 But even if it's bad feel free to tell me cos I can always improve my vids! 🥰

Thank you so much Angie! 🥰 I'm really glad you liked it and YESSS focusing on just one at a time is such a game changer. Simple but underrated. I do that all the time now HAHA. I hope your 3 lectures go well!

@ thanks! I’ll be applying these tips! I rewatched this video a few times

@@angiec8784 Aww thank you!! That really helps the video out in the algorithm, I'm really grateful! 🥰

Thank you so much for the comment and sub, it really means a lot to me! 🥰I met my editor on Linkedin, and I pay about $200 per video, because the editor I hired is also a motion designer. I hope this helps and feel free to ask me more questions if you need to!

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked this! 🥰
