Being drained due to work and then spending the rest of your time off trying to escape reality is so relatable! A lot of people don't even notice they're doing that. Do you still find yourself trying to escape reality after quitting your job or would you say things have changed in that aspect?
i feel like everyone, even those deep in creating their reality, are still met with shadows of looping into escapism perhaps even from the new life we've constructed! I feel like that from time and time and giving myself grace to feel that desire to escape from something and truly asking myself," What i am trying to escape or distract myself from? and What am i truly yearning for?
that discernment always brings me back to gratitude and center. and those feelings have less and less density but still carry some powerful lessons!
Yes I definitely do! I tend to do it realizing it, especially when I'm in the midst of deeply spiritual/shadow phases of my life. It feels easier to run and distract myself instead of sitting with whatever painful feelings are coming up. I'm learning now that true rest is allowing your mind and body to just be & feel whatever it's feeling in that moment. It definitely takes time to unlearn tho since we're so trained to escape
I truly thought I was the only one

Yes! And coming back from the matrix 😎
this video is so timely. i'm passionate about yoga and learning languages. one thing i've discovered is that doing one (or both) of these BEFORE i go in to work allows me to do something for "myself" before i go out and do something for "the world." it also helps me to not feel guilty when i come home really tired because i've already spent time on my passions in the morning
Yessss omg this is a realization I've been having too! Thank you for sharing this ❤️
Yes! that's beautiful! making time to be completely within your own energy and presence is th4e most powerful gift we can give ourselves each day!
Love this so much, thank you for sharing!
I do this now too!
Thank you for sharing these tips☺️. As a girl that works in the corporate world, I find them handy
Cries in ✨ nursing ✨. Requires so much physical and emotional labour. I have such a hard time balancing compassion for my patients who are going through the hardest times of their life, through their death and not bringing it home from work with me. Not to mention the 13hr shifts on my feet, killing my back moving patients that are way taller and heavier than me.
But I have a lot of debt from putting myself through school that I feel stuck.
Thank you for your service
This is relatable, I'm a nurse too. I'm thankful for my job but its not my entire life as I have other passions. I hope you find your middle ground and not be caught up in the matrix! Our jobs are very demanding, but I dont rely on my "hard work" as my source of worth... its found elsewhere and more satisfying in the long run :)
I really love this video because you’re not preaching “quit your job “ recently I fell into depression because I was letting my job control my whole life and when off work I wouldn’t do anything for myself but lay in bed and just hate my life. Went to therapy and my therapist helped me create small daily goals to achieve around my work schedule. Now I’m not fully there but I’m learning to detach myself from my job and just do a little more than they ask for. When I’m off work I’m still making small goals to remember myself that life still goes on when I’m off work. I love my current job but I was putting in too much and forgetting all the other things that I loved to do.
This is me right now! 😫 and it’s such a struggle. Working on getting there with my therapist but it’s a work in progress. I know it’s been awhile since you posted your comment, how are things going now?
Still having my down days and trying to really find me again. However, as far as my job I’ve learned to let go and not make it my identity. Literally just yesterday my best friend said he remember few months ago I would stress about missing work and having so much to do there, now I’m basically saying F that job lol. I do only what is required just like everyone else and if I’m getting too overwhelmed I step back and remind myself if I drop dead on this job they will replace me by the end of the week. I hope you find your balance because a job is just not worth the kind of peace we want to feel. 💜
I love your content. You actually speak on real life issues that a lot of us millennials and gen- z are experiencing.
Thank you!
Damn, this hit my timeline literally after having a discussion with my friend about this exact thing lol. I don’t hate my day job, and I wouldn’t say that it’s not fulfilling necessarily, but it’s just not my endgame for sure. Find the balance between our work for survival and our work for the soul is what I learned from this video. Thank you, Lynette!
Being drained due to work and then using the time that I'm not working to escape is super relatable. I wanna start my youtube channel again but I'm so exhausted and I'm a mom so that also takes away from my energy. Welp.
Your expression online is so essential these days. Your words are rich and potent. This is so relevant thanks so much for sharing this imperative message! Let’s find our joy and thrive in it! TAKE BACK YOUR POWER CLAIM YOUR ENERGY GODDESSES
I totally agree with you. I have really need it
Yessss thank you so much
@Trinity M Thanks 🙏🏽
Content creation brings me joy, like so much joy that I’ve been doing it for years and making zero money and now after all this time, paid opportunities are coming my way. I agree with you, when you are working your day job that you know you despise, your escape must be working on your passion. I used every waking moment as a working mom when I wasn’t at my day job, working on my passions. I’m still doing it although I have a job I love now, but I still make sure I pursue my passions because I know it’s going to lead me exactly where it’s supposed to.
Yes yes yes, the universe has so much in store for you when you follow your heart and make room for what you feel called towards!
@@LynetteAdkins I’m excited!! Thank you 💜💗
I needed to read this. Thank you for this comment and thanks Lynette for the video💕🥺
@@KefyOfficial 💜💗♥️
It’s crazy how in tune the universe is because I was just thinking about this
Sometimes I forgetting to take a break and look back at what I've done so far, until I feel it's all pointless. I do something until I'm so focused that my energy runs out quickly without realizing it.
Potent message here. I quit my 9-5 to pursue my passion of energy healing. I’m now considering going back to work while I continue building my business on the side. Needed to hear this 🙏🙏🙏
And I’m sure you will do great once you apply the tips, both at work and at your business. I wish you all the best 👏
This is amazing, sending you so much love on your journey❤
“Always dare to dream. For as long as there’s a dream, there is hope, and as long as there is hope, there is joy in living.”
I have a full time job but i try to find time for building my business.
Thank you for this video !!
Things that bring me joy outside of work: movies, music, video games, studying the paranormal and magic! Unfortunately I've felt compelled to push everything to the side after work to focus on fitness. Maybe I should just consider quitting housework for a month or two and see what happens 😂😂
Learn how to protect your energy. So you can wish your goal
I worked M-F. Readjusting my schedule to be M-Th was the best thing I did for myself emotionally and for my business. x
This is what I've been doing, no cap! Key skills needed are, time managing, time blocking, deep work and a blue print. I wake up at 4:30, go for runs, come back and start my office work at 6:30 instead of 9am. This gives me a head start, and what work I take to finish working over time usually, I complete everything mostly before 12pm. After 12 pm, all the time is mine, and I focus on my passions and goals. Of course my employer doesn't know so here and there they might throw in an extra work task, usually minimal. But the tough part is, being at home my mum keeps bugging me with tasks during my free time, things I wouldn't ever bother about. So yeah, it's been a battle to keep time for myself but I'm working on it.
If you don't mind me asking, what kind of office work do you do? I'd love to do something more remote! ❤️
@@princesstutusweet Sure. I work from home as a Content creator for a music school. Remote working is good as long as youre active and not cooped up in a room.
What time do you sleep?
@@mariee_e somewhere between 10:30 - 11:30. I'd love to start sleeping by 9:30pm, it's something we had to do in boarding school when I was a kid.
NO LYNETTE. but how tf are we on the same journey? every video you make it always seems like God wants me to slow down and watch you. you help me & really guide me on the path i should be going on
It's the collective awakening bb!! We're all waking up! So glad this was helpful❤️
“How can your passion be your sense of peace?” Thank you so much for this video, Lynette. Came right on time & is definitely resonating. Would love more insight on time management in the 9-5 setting. Thank you for being you!
can you please do a video on how to find your passion in the first place?
This happen even if you love your job…I’m so invested in it that when I come home I don’t have the energy to do anythingelse
I definitely needed to hear this! I have been so wrapped up in my 9-5 that I feel like my dreams are way too far but I’m going to keep going! And start back again posting on my channel! 💕
Yesss we love to see it!! Wishing you the best with your youtube journey💕
@@LynetteAdkins awww thank you! 😊
This video came right on time in the mist of a crucial time in my personal journey and shadow work. I completely resonated with the information. The only thing about my particular 9-to-5 is that I work in healthcare, and for a large organization at that. It’s very hard to negotiate change in my position even though we have a union. But I am not using that As an excuse, I have come to terms that I’m unhappy in my current job and it 100% takes me away from what I am truly passionate about, I’m taking the little time I have after work to study and master what my passions are in hopes, one day, I can change positions allowing more time for myself.
You always have a message when I need to hear it most! Thank you!!
Omg!! This video came at the exact moment I needed to hear this, bc why am I catching myself stressing over a job outside of work hours that I don't even love 🙃
I'm so glad this came at the right time! You got this love!
@@LynetteAdkins ❤️❤️
🙏🏿🙏🏿 keep it. Real and stay true
Thank you for sharing this! Definitely needed to hear this.
Thank you for always sharing your wisdom and journey with us🙏 💜
Completely agree! Maximizing my time has helped me prioritize the steps needed to move onto the next chapters of my life
Thank you for speaking on this and making this video. I feel like my whole life changed once I had this realization, and began pouring less into my job and more into my actual dreams.❤
This is such a GEM! Thank you for putting this out, Lynette. Also, the comment thread that this vid created inspires me. 💖
You made me feel so much better about everythinggggg, thank you so much❤️
I started a job two years ago that I'm not in love with, but it helps me reach my goals while I'm in college. My first boss said something so strong on my first day:
In 24 hours, you work for 8 and sleep for 8. What will you do with the time left over?
I took that time and went back to college. I got my Associates, and now I'm finishing my Bachelor's. What's fascinating is that until I got older, I thought I didn't have the time to do this. I'm also investing in my photography and taking pics on the weekend while planning my future after college. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
thank your for this video! great inspiration for me to try and dial back on the distractions that keep me from working for myself outside of my 9-5 job.
THANK YOU!! Genuinely thank you. I really needed this today.
So needed this reminder, I am so grateful the universe sent me this message. Thank you
Lynetter!! Such a great video. I have many passions, I've always been a person drawn to just being creative whether that is acting, singing ,doing arts and crafts designing something, it can be very hard to decide if its my escape or what I want to make out of a career but this gave me some wonderful insight especially the part about after a long day of work your hobby or passion should be something that brings you joy
The way that this is SO spot on. Wow thank you for this 👏🏼👏🏼
Love this message! My journey leaving corporate & becoming a full-time entrepreneur is why I started making time management content & coaching to help people make the time to live their dreams
Thank you for all this great tips 🥰 It really helps me to stay sane 😃
I love how humble and kind your videos are. Thank you for creating and sharing with others ❤
Wow this video is literally perfect timing. I needed to see this today. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️… this is my sign to go on a flex schedule at Amazon 🥴🥴… what brings me joy is creating content here on TH-cam ❤️❤️
Thank you for this! I love this fresh perspective. It really brings me down when people dump on working a 9-5 and this video was so uplifting for me
I just love how you want to see everyone win! I love you for that!!!
This is my sign I've been [stuck] in this stage for awhile and Now i'm starting to realizing how important it is to be stingy with my time.
Perfect timing with this video. I am finally getting paid brand deals, growing on all my platforms and I cannot wait to go full time! 💕
Thank you Lynette for sharing this very fitting on time video. This resonated in my spirit deeply. ♥️
you have so many valuable insights, thank you so much !
You always have the right video at the right time 😩❤️ are you reading my mind at this point!?
I appreciate your channel so much. You are someone who has the same passion and mentality as me and I feel very inspired! I watch you like everyday now 😂
I love this video because right now I'm dealing with this and trying not to burn myself out is so important. Thanks ❤ very helpful video
i’m on my lunch break abt to watch this, working a 9-5. and just last week I cut back my hours so I could take time to rlly figure out what I want to do. ur videos have been helping me so much so I think this video is meant for me!!!!!!! 🦋
Wow…this is exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you.
Thanks for this video I been in between jobs for the last 3-5 years I usually get. A job and quit after 3 months but I just got anew job at Mercedes Benz detailing cars and its cool so far , but my passion and life purpose is Being A artist , making music , I also have my own clothing line & my own record label called Get Rich & Stay Positive. I’m working on getting a new car , then getting my own place. While also investing in my music and clothing line too.
I needed this message. A good reminder that I am the owner of my reality.
I found your channel recently, and I love your content. It is exactly what I need in my life right now. My passions are photography and putting time into my TH-cam channel. ❤️
Thank you for this. I needed this message today.
This is why I never wanted a “serious career job” and people never understand that. I’ve had a few jobs that were serious and I always quit them because I know for me having less stress at my 9-5, which means less of a ‘good’ role, and being able to work on my side hustles to eventually be my own boss is the only way I don’t drain myself. If I take on a serious 9-5 that has a ‘cool’ sounding title.. I won’t have time for my real passions
Spot on. Those cool sounding titles come with never ending responsibilities.
Watching this while working at my 6 to 4 cannabis industry job, I really appreciate this video because I would like to Pursue creating videos and content as well as teaching a movement class again. Thank you so much for this video and I hope you are having an amazing week💕🥰✨
Thank you Lynette!
🙏🏽 thank you, these are the words I needed to hear right now
Girl! All of this🙏 thank you sister 🦋✨💜
TH-cam brings me joy! I will be doing this full time one day so thank you for the advice Lynette!
Just the pep talk I needed for my own journey 💕
Thank you for sharing this valuable video. I have really needed this video especially the bad days of my life
This is sooo helpful I had to learn this the hard way. Changing to work from home jobs has literally save my mental. Gives me so much more freedom and control. Some days I’m able to work on my business and my 9 to 5.
You are literally one of the only TH-camr I watch everytime you post🤩
This video meant so much just from one thing that you mentioned me & my friend had a whole conversation about life this is so important in general thank you!!
Omg Thank you for this; literally needed to hear this on a soul level 🤞🏾🥰
This video is so relevant to what I'm going through right now. Trying to improve and create more content but working 40 hrs as a server can be exhausting. I've already been trying to at least detach myself from my 9-5 mentally, but easier said than done.
Thank you so much for this. It's always so helpful to hear this message, we can all do it.
Love this so much! Would love to hear more on this topic
I love love love this video thank you so much everyone needs this!
Thank you for sharing. Sometimes it's hard for me because I'm in college, and i have work and then balancing that with time for me, friends, and family. But I recently quit my job, started bartending school, and got a job as a bartender yesterday actually just by going out there and wanting better for myself. It can be scary just going all in but definitely worth it.
Your newer videos like this one have been so need for me lately that's have been putting me back on track of where ihave been trying to go in my life journey. Thank you
Amazing video per usual Lynette 💜
Thanks for these
100% agree on everything! It is just a means to get by while you work on your dreams. Detachment is key!!!
I love spending my time watching your videos
Thank you so much for this video. I have been thinking about this recently, as I’m wanting to dedicate more time to my passions but I work a full time job that has been draining me. Wanting to create my own business and get into content creation. Was definitely eye opening! Thank you once again!
had to come back to this….you’re SO AMAZING
This video showed up on my recommend right when I needed it most. I've never watched a video of yours before, but I am definitely gonna have to check out your channel after this!
Needed this. Thank you 🧡
I’m thankful I have a hybrid work job and I’m learning a lot at my job but it’s so exhausting , I’m trying to find a new job or source of income. I want to find something I feel really passionate about. Thanks for this video!!
you have no idea how much this helped me! I’ve wanted to be a TH-camr/content creator for almost a decade now, but have always had to work, and financially provide for myself, and I just recently scored an amazing 9-to-5 job, but it takes so much out of me that by the time the weekend rolls around, I am absolutely drained or just want to distract myself. This video helped me tremendously, and really inspired me, so thank you! I just love your entire vibe, subscribed!
I am so glad I stumbled upon this video. I was just telling my mom that I am done going above and beyond for a job that I am miserable and also just doesn’t appreciate me or give me the support that I need. It’s not worth the toll that it is taking on my physical and mental health. I come too drained to work on my passions and hobbies
this changed my life thank you for helping me conserve my energy and time for my passion
God bless you seriously. This was such an amazing video your words are so inspirational😊💕
I love cooking and working out. It makes me feel good taking care of my wellness
I have a passion for traveling!! I love planning trips and experiencing this huge world. I work remotely so feel like I could do this more often but it’s a constant battle of knowing I need to save money vs wanting to live my life
This video really spoke to me! Thank you so much!!
I love your channel, really gives me hope
IM SO HAPPY I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL❤️
Thank you for this video. It was right on time ❤
Thank you for making this video! 💜 you deserve all the success coming your way 🤗
Thank you so much❤️
Love this channel so much
This is EXACTLY what I needed! My business is growing and I have a remote day job that provides robust paid-time-off. I need to start having conversations with my manager about how to have more control over my schedule. That's awesome!!!
I’ve just gotten a big opportunity/ decision and wasn’t sure what to do, this video came up in my reccomend and now I know exactly what to do thankyou ❤
Thank you for sharing, only at half way of this video and already got enough.♥️♥️
Amazing video! Needed that reminder
Amazing video girl. Thank you, exactly what I was looking for
