Great video!! I am a You Tube creator, and at the age of 50, I reinvented myself by losing 40 pounds and getting back to a size 4...... I sold my house, moved to Nashville, started a food blog, then a You Tube channel to help people lose weight and get healthy.... Changing my name for my You Tube channel has changed my identity...... I have become a totally new person, I look completely different ( from good diet, walking , and weight lifting)....... However, people in the the past that abused me have not been happy with me being confidant.....They prefer for me to walk around completely beaten down with my tail between my legs...... I have learned I do not have to have everyone like me, and the path to growth is to follow your Inner Spirit and be your True Self.....
I was extremely shy growing up. I started telling myself I love people and I love socializing. And that is who I have become. I am extremely charismatic and one of my strongest attributes now is my extrovert personality.
The “be aware of language” advice is huge, it’s actually what helped me overcome substance abuse issues that I had been dealing with for years. How we talk about ourselves is so important and can help to create massive changes in our lives
Dear Jillz, Thank you for your wonderful advice. A year ago, I began the process of reinventing myself. Today, I make six figures, live a healthier, stronger, and more confident life, and I have time to spend with my family and friends. Living for myself makes me feel happier. You can start at any time to have a reset; it's worthwhile!, is meant to encourage someone. Being that it's a journey, I'm trying to keep going.
Alter your perspective, read self-help books, learn more, make a budget and avoid impulsive purchases, save, treat financial matters seriously, eat well, work out, meditate, and the list goes on. I hope this is helpful to you.
@@melbavic23712 I developed a sense of economy, spent less money, saved money, and paid myself first through investing. I also formed plans, increased my passive income, read numerous books on finance, and steadily carried out my strategy.
Try to think about what you want in 6 months instead…like what’s that next version of yourself you want to step into? You don’t need to have a 20 yr plan, just figure out what that next step is and start there, you can always readjust 😊❤️
I feel this a lot. I actually realized it had a lot to do with not allowing myself to dream or believe that good things could happen to me. I was limiting myself from my dream by saying they were un achievable or impossible. Allow ur self the space and time to dream and wish Also a great way to see what u want to become is by thinking of who ur role models are and why? Example: If it’s ur aunt is it because she is a great mom, a successful business owner, a great singer, or because she is funny and happy? If it a celebrity, is it their fame, money, lifestyle, how they get to travel or hangout with cool people, is it their job or what they are good at? Also never be ashamed of any dreams, if u dream of having money it doesn’t mean ur a bad person for that. Don’t think ur dreams are any less valuable if they aren’t what others want either. Also if u still really don’t know what u want, i would say get out there and try things that interest you, and maybe something will come of that!
If you want a tip :) look at your surroundings and look at others. What do you envy about their life and ask yourself do I want to have that too in my life? Or just look at celebs or athletes and their life.
Maybe you don't have to know what you want but rather know what you don't want to get rid of it then ur best version will come automatically I guess. 👀
This is exactly what I didn't know I was searching for. Thank you so much. I've done this once before, years ago. In rehab for mental health issues the group teacher had us write down character traits we'd like to possess, then make a habit of asking eg:"would a patient/independant/healthy/ fill in the blank person do this" and I took it seriously, over the following year I changed my life and I became a different person. I balanced out, got control of my illness, got 3 promotions, bought a house, lost 40 pounds, turned my relationship in to a healthy and strong one, and learned how loveable I really am. I'm so excited to do this again, and take it to the next level.
I used almost every single piece of advice you offer today. I completely lost the old identity and friends and family now accept the new person to whom I identify with. 🎉
This came at the perfect time. I just turned 27 today 🎉 Even though I have done a ton of work on myself over the years, I need to level up again majorly for the next half of the year. Thank you and love your videos as always! ❤️
I've been looking into this alter ego subject for so long to reinvent myself but nobody has explained it more clearly and elegantly like you did. Thank you! I'm going to try this for the next 6 months.
THISSSSS👏🏽 I find inner healing helps to say goodbye to the old us. Because sometimes we hold on so dearly to the version of ourselves that we’re used to. But if we tap into ourselves we can easily walk into the women we want to be✨
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 3 months ago about self development. Now I have 224 subs and almost > 90 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
I'm listening to this in the new year. But 6 months ago my life pretty much was falling apart I was in an unhappy boring and toxic relationship. I ended up leaving the situation and ever since then I am working on being more authentic and have better boundaries with people. It's been quite a challenge at times. What I did notice is there are times that I know I'm falling back to my old habits of people pleasing and not holding my boundaries. Then I have a reflection with myself and think about the situation at hand in a more long term way, would I want this to continue in this way for another year or two, most of the time the answer is no. So I have honored myself by cutting people off at the early sign of bullshit. I was seeing a guy that I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue seeing, he was cool, and checked a lot of my wish boxes. But then he displayed a few red flags. I had a talk with myself, and decided to cut him out of my life before it got anywhere else. I feel a bit sad because it means I have to start all over again in looking for a guy to date, but I don't have to deal with this guy's bullshit. I'm proud of myself. It is still a process though, because the feeling of lonineless and abandonment is still there. I just need to remind myself, I deserve better. And I will find better. I can't wait to see myself in another 6 months where I can confidently cut someone out of my life who doesn't belong and only have people who are the right fit for me.
💙 I as well just went through a rough break up a couple of weeks ago and I just found this channel so I'm looking forward to exploring it more 💚 Sending you so much healing love and encouragement for your heart as it is healing!
I changed my name a couple of years ago, not with the intention of changing my life, but to try to draw a line under an abusive childhood and marriage, and to prevent a persistent stalker, but it has had a profound effect on how I see myself and, coupled with a change of location, it has helped me to move forward in a more deliberate, planned way, rather than just plodding. Your video has helped me to recognise the psychology behind this, and make plans the future - thank you! Clara 💕
I've watched many videos on reinventing yourself in 6 months, but none of them talked about the identity shift, which is SO important. Thank you for this video. I realize why I never made it through the "6 months challenge". I always wanted to change myself when the key is NOT to change yourself but to BECOME a new version of yourself because there are millions of versions of yourself that exist, you just have to embody whichever version you want aka shifting your identity.
You're such a gem! I never thought about reinventing myself in this way and it's probably why every time I tried it was always difficult and painful and I felt as if I always end up back on square one. I most definitely am going to be implementing this, especially as I am moving in three months, I want to reinvent myself and become better. Thanks a lot Jillz 💖
I love the idea of having an alter ego. Some ppl think it's weird but I think it really works psychologically. One of my inspirations that has done that is David Goggins.
Love this so far! I got married in February and am going through a career transition as well so feel some push or pull towards the next version of me which is a wonderful feeling and opportunity. These tips are helpful to empower myself to step into this new space as who I know I can be now 🙏🏼💗 Thanks!
Your video is amazing Cause I am in the resistance phase and started to feel like nothing is gonna change . So thank you so much that I'm aware now of that resistance and self sabotage 💜💜💜
I know I’m not your target audience but I’ve completely lost my sense of identity since having my second child and this video has me feeling so hopeful. Everything was broken down and articulated so well. A thousand thanks 🫶💜✨
The part of shifting the identity was a life changing for me, it's amazing how we hear so many tips which are extremely helpful but some are just wow and they stick to our mind and they make perfect sense I appreciate this video❤️
I learned to do this when I moved as a kid and began in a new school where nobody knew me. I intentionally left behind habits and traits that wasn't serving me well and emphasized ones that were real positive. It works!
I’ve been neck deep in your videos lately and I’m already feeling the shif tof reinventing myself and thinking about who my alter ego is, what she’s like, how she thinks, what she wants. Also changing the word discipline into devotion made it able for me to clean a couple of rooms in my house that needed some tlc. I wanna Thankyou for making these videos also explaining it really good. I will rewatch when necessary ❤
So glad I found you as this video is exactly what I need. This advice is brilliant and one to be adhered to if one wants to reinvent oneself. Thank you so much.❤️🇮🇪
I've been watching your videos for a couple of months, don't know how how I got here but I'm glad I did...Your videos are amazing, they've helped me so much, you've changed my mindset on so many things and so many levels, glad to have found you..
About consistency, I think I take it too hard on myself, trying to be perfect every day is tiring, listening to you talk takes some weight off my shoulders ❤
It was because of you that I read that book. Great read! I highly recommend it. As for assuming another lifestyle and personality, it is doable. I have reinvented myself, choosing only to move forward with my best qualities. In 6 months, I am not who I was in most ways, habits, lifestyle. I had a set back a few weeks ago, now I am listening to Jillz in order to get ME back. I focus on my HER. What is she like and how does she think.
When I was a freshman in highschool, I started using my middle name as my first name out in school and in public. Using my second name in the outside world has helped me tap into my confidence and the version of myself I knew I could be. It was totally an alter-ego thing, which back then a lot of others had defined as a 'crazy person thing' but IT WORKED. It was the only method that brought me out of my shell was leaving my old identity behind. When you're young and your peers call you names or say hurtful things, it sticks with you and often gets taken on as a part of your identity.
I really needed a video on this, I've been struggling to stick to my new schedule and stepping into the habits that I know my higher self does, thank you for all of your helpful tips 🙏
Top notch video, I bump this one into my lifestyle YT folder.... And I am glad you mentioned the example of Atomic Habits about the smoker, thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I first watched this a couple of days ago and keep coming back to it. I want to see how i can change myself for the next six months and who i will be on December 31, 2022
Thanks for this video! 👍😊I have done this once after a divorce, changing my identity completly. It was so liberating and fun! You could express another sides of yourself. Its always possible to do it!
Love this video!!! I’ve been wanting to reinvent myself for the past few months but was ALWAYS met with resistance/ not being able to actually commit to it, but after watching your video I’m going to persevere and really reinvent myself for good!! Thank you!!!
I have often thought this myself - but never actually heard it articulated by someone before. I would think "Instead of trying so hard to improve and change - fall short and get discouraged - why not start out believing I AM that person - and act accordingly." I am much older than you and have significant challenges: nearly blind/non-ambulatory/over weight. But, WTH - what have I got to loose. Thanks for the video.
Yeah jillz, glad to see u again... I recently shifted back to my home town, and trying to adjust.. And invent a new version of myself.. So glad u come up with video.. Love and light..
I´ve been always conditioned for what others expected about me. Now, I live in other country where I didn´t know anyone and I want to use this as opportunity to reveal the real me.
I know I'm probably not the target demographic for your videos. But I just wanted to say thank you for sharing stuff like this. It's been really helpful :)
Jillz, you are on point! Thank you, your words and vibe felt like a hug from a friend. Thank you! I am going to check in with you in 6 months. Also, I will be following your work. You are a super duper wise teacher. With Love, Anna
Watching this nov 1st in 2022 ~ been quitting soft drink for 2 years now… *cough cough* the changes you’ve listed might be what I needed to hear. Thank you so much.
I know who I want to be I have been practicing the new me few months now, but the process can be overwhelming sometimes especially when ur mind becomes resistant, but whenever that resistance shows up I keep saying am not going Back to where I used to be I am not going back and that resistance vanich, thanks for the vid, wish u best of luck
Love your videos, thank you! Video idea: could you maybe do a video about masculine energy that we women need to have sometimes (for example work, or sometimes family decisions etc) and how we women, can tap into our masculine side (tips, what to focus on etc) Just an idea 🥰
Jillz I am so passionate about becoming the most radiant and responsible version of myself. Becoming the woman of our own dreams is an art form itself and we all need to master it. I am hoping to start a TH-cam channel soon to encourage and inspire women in their transformations. Do you have any advice you could give me that you wish you knew when you started? Thank you sister, I am wishing you so many blessings this summer.
Ahh you should definitely start a TH-cam channel!! If you feel passionate about it, do it! My advice is to talk about things you’re passionate about and the right people will come. Also, it’s helpful to be consistent definitely but try not to stress too much about that. What’s more important is that you’re consistent over the long time, not exactly from week to week. Let me know when you start! Also if you have anymore specific questions you can always DM me on Instagram ❤️❤️
I have changed ego names in different seasons of my life and the benefit is always short lived. Because... fictional persona me doesn't exist. However I exist and I am worthy of love and recognition in my own right. Always rebranding ends up being a way I refuse to love the fantastic woman that I am, flaws and all. I know I have periods of getting stuck when a major shift happens but guess what - it doesn't mean I am any less for it. I just have to find my footing again by reevaluating what I want, choosing a direction and adjust my daily habits to support it.
I’ve been revamping myself for two years. My goal is to be polished (verbally and in dressing)….. I feel as if I’m that lady now. My visuali- zation has been Jackie Kennedy and Lady Diana.
I am trying to reinvent my life, new identity approach will help me, my journey to change my life. I can guess the process will be exciting and challenging. Thanks
Good points. But don't forget that you can't change yourself completly. It is an improvement for yourself to establish new habits, but identity and personality are to different things. When you try to change your personality by force it will make you very unhappy. Don't deny parts of your personality, especially your past. When you try to cast parts of you away, your mind and your body system will sooner or later try to stop you, which in a bad case can lead until depression. I think you can transform things in life, like being more structured, but you can't change completly, you can't deny, who you are. Rather you should accept, who you are and than you can start to transform the little things step by step. Please could you make a video, where you explain the difference between personality and identity? I think this is an very important aspect to talk about.
There was a very strange feature in this case, strange because of its extremely rare occurrence. This man had once been brought to the scaffold in company with several others, and had had the sentence of death by shooting passed upon him for some political crime. Twenty minutes later he had been reprieved and some other punishment substituted; but the interval between the two sentences, twenty minutes, or at least a quarter of an hour, had been passed in the certainty that within a few minutes he must die. I was very anxious to hear him speak of his impressions during that dreadful time, and I several times inquired of him as to what he thought and felt. He remembered everything with the most accurate and extraordinary distinctness, and declared that he would never forget a single iota of the experience. ‘About twenty paces from the scaffold, where he had stood to hear the sentence, were three posts, fixed in the ground, to which to fasten the criminals (of whom there were several). The first three criminals were taken to the posts, dressed in long white tunics, with white caps drawn over their faces, so that they could not see the rifles pointed at them. Then a group of soldiers took their stand opposite to each post. My friend was the eighth on the list, and therefore he would have been among the third lot to go up. A priest went about among them with a cross: and there was about five minutes of time left for him to live. ‘He said that those five minutes seemed to him to be a most interminable period, an enormous wealth of time; he seemed to be living, in these minutes, so many lives that there was no need as yet to think of that last moment, so that he made several arrangements, dividing up the time into portions-one for saying farewell to his companions, two minutes for that; then a couple more for thinking over his own life and career and all about himself; and another minute for a last look around. He remembered having divided his time like this quite well. While saying good- bye to his friends he recollected asking one of them some very usual everyday question, and being much interested in the answer. Then having bade farewell, he embarked upon those two minutes which he had allotted to looking into himself; he knew beforehand what he was going to think about. He wished to put it to himself as quickly and clearly as possible, that here was he, a living, thinking man, and that in three minutes he would be nobody; or if somebody or something, then what and where? He thought he would decide this question once for all in these last three minutes. A little way off there stood a church, and its gilded spire glittered in the sun. He remembered staring stubbornly at this spire, and at the rays of light sparkling from it. He could not tear his eyes from these rays of light; he got the idea that these rays were his new nature, and that in three minutes he would become one of them, amalgamated somehow with them. ‘The repugnance to what must ensue almost immediately, and the uncertainty, were dreadful, he said; but worst of all was the idea, ‘What should I do if I were not to die now? What if I were to return to life again? What an eternity of days, and all mine! How I should grudge and count up every minute of it, so as to waste not a single instant!’ He said that this thought weighed so upon him and became such a terrible burden upon his brain that he could not bear it, and wished they would shoot him quickly and have done with it.’⁹
@@JillzGuerin Yes. Been transitioning for about 2 yrs. Finally feeling I need to permanently change my name to what you see here. This video spoke volumes. on that subject. Plus been trying to decide if I should tell my job to call me by this name. Started there not knowing what name I was going too choose, but have decided on this one. You have a wonderfully bless day.
So several months ago I decided that I'm going to introduce myself under a different name to people in nonofficial situations, because I was questioning my gender. That isn't exactly what the video is about, but I've noticed that I started acting differently in my personal life where I'd be called my new name. I thought that it might be because the new gender neutral name made me feel more comfortable, and partially it's probably true, but also I feel that it's really connected to creating an alter ego. It's become for me much easier to meet and talk to new people. I used to be a loner who didn't have anyone to talk to, and well, I still don't have much people with who I feel deep connection, but no one believes me when I say that a year ago I used to stay at home alone the whole time and couldn't even ask my classmates about homework or something 😅

Yesss 💫💫💫
So clear and comprehensive. I've never done this 'have an alter ego' thing, but why not try~
❤️❤️
I learned to do this when I moved as a kid and began in a new school where nobody knew me. I intentionally left behind habits and traits that wasn't serving me well and emphasized ones that were real positive. It works!
The identity shift really works-- helped me quit smoking and drinking! Thanks for the tips 😊
That’s amazing! 💕
I’ve been neck deep in your videos lately and I’m already feeling the shif tof reinventing myself and thinking about who my alter ego is, what she’s like, how she thinks, what she wants. Also changing the word discipline into devotion made it able for me to clean a couple of rooms in my house that needed some tlc. I wanna Thankyou for making these videos also explaining it really good. I will rewatch when necessary ❤
So glad I found you as this video is exactly what I need. This advice is brilliant and one to be adhered to if one wants to reinvent oneself. Thank you so much.❤️🇮🇪
You’re so welcome! ❤️
I've been watching your videos for a couple of months, don't know how how I got here but I'm glad I did...Your videos are amazing, they've helped me so much, you've changed my mindset on so many things and so many levels, glad to have found you..
Aw yay I’m so glad you found me 💕💕💕
About consistency, I think I take it too hard on myself, trying to be perfect every day is tiring, listening to you talk takes some weight off my shoulders ❤
It was because of you that I read that book. Great read! I highly recommend it. As for assuming another lifestyle and personality, it is doable. I have reinvented myself, choosing only to move forward with my best qualities. In 6 months, I am not who I was in most ways, habits, lifestyle. I had a set back a few weeks ago, now I am listening to Jillz in order to get ME back. I focus on my HER. What is she like and how does she think.
When I was a freshman in highschool, I started using my middle name as my first name out in school and in public. Using my second name in the outside world has helped me tap into my confidence and the version of myself I knew I could be. It was totally an alter-ego thing, which back then a lot of others had defined as a 'crazy person thing' but IT WORKED. It was the only method that brought me out of my shell was leaving my old identity behind.
When you're young and your peers call you names or say hurtful things, it sticks with you and often gets taken on as a part of your identity.
I really needed a video on this, I've been struggling to stick to my new schedule and stepping into the habits that I know my higher self does, thank you for all of your helpful tips 🙏
Glad it was helpful! 💕
Gorgeous top your wearing! ❤ that color! STUNNING
Top notch video, I bump this one into my lifestyle YT folder.... And I am glad you mentioned the example of Atomic Habits about the smoker, thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I first watched this a couple of days ago and keep coming back to it. I want to see how i can change myself for the next six months and who i will be on December 31, 2022
Thanks for this video! 👍😊I have done this once after a divorce, changing my identity completly. It was so liberating and fun! You could express another sides of yourself. Its always possible to do it!
You’re welcome!! 💕💕
Love this video!!! I’ve been wanting to reinvent myself for the past few months but was ALWAYS met with resistance/ not being able to actually commit to it, but after watching your video I’m going to persevere and really reinvent myself for good!! Thank you!!!
You’ve got this 🔥💕
I can relate so much 💕🌼 Good luck on your journey
This is the time! You can do it!
I have often thought this myself - but never actually heard it articulated by someone before. I would think "Instead of trying so hard to improve and change - fall short and get discouraged - why not start out believing I AM that person - and act accordingly." I am much older than you and have significant challenges: nearly blind/non-ambulatory/over weight. But, WTH - what have I got to loose. Thanks for the video.
So glad you’ve thought the same! It’s a different way of thinking that definitely works! 💕
Yeah jillz, glad to see u again...
I recently shifted back to my home town, and trying to adjust..
And invent a new version of myself..
So glad u come up with video..
Love and light..
💕✨💕
I´ve been always conditioned for what others expected about me. Now, I live in other country where I didn´t know anyone and I want to use this as opportunity to reveal the real me.
I know I'm probably not the target demographic for your videos. But I just wanted to say thank you for sharing stuff like this. It's been really helpful :)
You just became my new favorite person! You’re so wise and admirable ! Thank you so much for this video I noted about everything you said down 🥰
Aww thank you!! ❤️❤️

Anna

Watching this nov 1st in 2022 ~ been quitting soft drink for 2 years now… *cough cough* the changes you’ve listed might be what I needed to hear. Thank you so much.
I know who I want to be I have been practicing the new me few months now, but the process can be overwhelming sometimes especially when ur mind becomes resistant, but whenever that resistance shows up I keep saying am not going Back to where I used to be I am not going back and that resistance vanich, thanks for the vid, wish u best of luck
Thank you for this! So Feb 2023 I will check in.
Please do!! ❤️
Love your videos, thank you!
Video idea: could you maybe do a video about masculine energy that we women need to have sometimes (for example work, or sometimes family decisions etc) and how we women, can tap into our masculine side (tips, what to focus on etc)
Just an idea 🥰
I’ll try to do this in the future! 💕
You are the best! 🥰
Thank you so much!! I just might change my name just for the drama 😂💖
Haha a little drama never hurt anyone 😂
Love this video especially the part on shifting identity and being the new identity now.
Yeah a new video! I love your content :-) Thanks for all the inspo!
Thank you!! And you’re welcome! ❤️❤️
Jillz I am so passionate about becoming the most radiant and responsible version of myself. Becoming the woman of our own dreams is an art form itself and we all need to master it. I am hoping to start a TH-cam channel soon to encourage and inspire women in their transformations. Do you have any advice you could give me that you wish you knew when you started? Thank you sister, I am wishing you so many blessings this summer.
Ahh you should definitely start a TH-cam channel!! If you feel passionate about it, do it! My advice is to talk about things you’re passionate about and the right people will come. Also, it’s helpful to be consistent definitely but try not to stress too much about that. What’s more important is that you’re consistent over the long time, not exactly from week to week. Let me know when you start! Also if you have anymore specific questions you can always DM me on Instagram ❤️❤️
Thank you so much 🌸💗
How do you make such amazing videos each week? You always have such good advice and ideas. Thank you Jillz! ❤️
Aw thank you 💙 It takes lots of effort lol 😂
Thank you for this video, I feel so inspired to make a fresh start. That what I need right now. Send u a lot of hugs💛
💕✨💕
Your presence is so healing! Thank youu for the videoo ❤❤❤
Awww so glad you enjoyed it 💕💕
Thank you big sis gillz for this video , it's helping me alot
Ooo I love this! So happy I found your channel. Such a chill yet expansive vibe 💫
So happy you found me too!! 💕
Thank you!! This information is perfectly what I need this morning. ❤
I have changed ego names in different seasons of my life and the benefit is always short lived. Because... fictional persona me doesn't exist. However I exist and I am worthy of love and recognition in my own right. Always rebranding ends up being a way I refuse to love the fantastic woman that I am, flaws and all. I know I have periods of getting stuck when a major shift happens but guess what - it doesn't mean I am any less for it. I just have to find my footing again by reevaluating what I want, choosing a direction and adjust my daily habits to support it.
Amazing. I'm in this process now, since June 🙌 🦋✨
❤️❤️
So refreshing and powerful at the same time.
Thanks Jillz! 💜
Awesome video on redefining yourself. Love it, more like it please Jillz! 💗
Luv your videos Jillz!

I’ve been revamping myself for two years. My goal is to be polished (verbally and in dressing)….. I feel as if I’m that lady now. My visuali- zation has been Jackie Kennedy and Lady Diana.
I am trying to reinvent my life, new identity approach will help me, my journey to change my life. I can guess the process will be exciting and challenging. Thanks
It will be very exciting! 😊

❤️❤️
Thank u! Great video! Much success to u!
I do transformations but never satisfied totally.always want something more , fresher and better .in a constant search for new
Good points. But don't forget that you can't change yourself completly. It is an improvement for yourself to establish new habits, but identity and personality are to different things. When you try to change your personality by force it will make you very unhappy. Don't deny parts of your personality, especially your past. When you try to cast parts of you away, your mind and your body system will sooner or later try to stop you, which in a bad case can lead until depression. I think you can transform things in life, like being more structured, but you can't change completly, you can't deny, who you are. Rather you should accept, who you are and than you can start to transform the little things step by step. Please could you make a video, where you explain the difference between personality and identity? I think this is an very important aspect to talk about.
It's a high value to listen to you and look at you. Lke a conversation with a great friend. Many thanks for doing the video!
❤️💕💕
This video is perfect. thank you so much :)
❤️❤️
You are the definition of classic beauty , so gorgeous S2
Aw thank you!! ❤️❤️
I love this! I learned a lot! 💎💖 thank you for creating this vid! 🥰
Glad it was helpful! 🥰
There was a very strange feature in this case, strange because of its extremely rare occurrence. This man had once been brought to the scaffold in company with several others, and had had the sentence of death by shooting passed upon him for some political crime. Twenty minutes later he had been reprieved and some other punishment substituted; but the interval between the two sentences, twenty minutes, or at least a quarter of an hour, had been passed in the certainty that within a few minutes he must die. I was very anxious to hear him speak of his impressions during that dreadful time, and I several times inquired of him as to what he thought and felt. He remembered everything with the most accurate and extraordinary distinctness, and declared that he would never forget a single iota of the experience. ‘About twenty paces from the scaffold, where he had stood to hear the sentence, were three posts, fixed in the ground, to which to fasten the criminals (of whom there were several). The first three criminals were taken to the posts, dressed in long white tunics, with white caps drawn over their faces, so that they could not see the rifles pointed at them. Then a group of soldiers took their stand opposite to each post. My friend was the eighth on the list, and therefore he would have been among the third lot to go up. A priest went about among them with a cross: and there was about five minutes of time left for him to live. ‘He said that those five minutes seemed to him to be a most interminable period, an enormous wealth of time; he seemed to be living, in these minutes, so many lives that there was no need as yet to think of that last moment, so that he made several arrangements, dividing up the time into portions-one for saying farewell to his companions, two minutes for that; then a couple more for thinking over his own life and career and all about himself; and another minute for a last look around. He remembered having divided his time like this quite well. While saying good- bye to his friends he recollected asking one of them some very usual everyday question, and being much interested in the answer. Then having bade farewell, he embarked upon those two minutes which he had allotted to looking into himself; he knew beforehand what he was going to think about. He wished to put it to himself as quickly and clearly as possible, that here was he, a living, thinking man, and that in three minutes he would be nobody; or if somebody or something, then what and where? He thought he would decide this question once
for all in these last three minutes. A little way off there stood a church, and its gilded spire glittered in the sun. He remembered staring stubbornly at this spire, and at the rays of light sparkling from it. He could not tear his eyes from these rays of light; he got the idea that these rays were his new nature, and that in three minutes he would become one of them, amalgamated somehow with them. ‘The repugnance to what must ensue almost immediately, and the uncertainty, were dreadful, he said; but worst of all was the idea, ‘What should I do if I were not to die now? What if I were to return to life again? What an eternity of days, and all mine! How I should grudge and count up every minute of it, so as to waste not a single instant!’ He said that this thought weighed so upon him and became such a terrible burden upon his brain that he could not bear it, and wished they would shoot him quickly and have done with it.’⁹
I will definitely keep coming to this
felt like you were talking to me. Love your content!!
Thank you! Hope it was helpful! 💙
@@JillzGuerin Yes. Been transitioning for about 2 yrs. Finally feeling I need to permanently change my name to what you see here. This video spoke volumes. on that subject. Plus been trying to decide if I should tell my job to call me by this name. Started there not knowing what name I was going too choose, but have decided on this one. You have a wonderfully bless day.
This video was so incredibly helpful, thank you!!!
So glad you liked it! 💕
So several months ago I decided that I'm going to introduce myself under a different name to people in nonofficial situations, because I was questioning my gender. That isn't exactly what the video is about, but I've noticed that I started acting differently in my personal life where I'd be called my new name. I thought that it might be because the new gender neutral name made me feel more comfortable, and partially it's probably true, but also I feel that it's really connected to creating an alter ego. It's become for me much easier to meet and talk to new people. I used to be a loner who didn't have anyone to talk to, and well, I still don't have much people with who I feel deep connection, but no one believes me when I say that a year ago I used to stay at home alone the whole time and couldn't even ask my classmates about homework or something 😅
So glad I found you!
