I am finally getting that at 65. So much unawareness on my part. I retired from Mammying every one. Self care and my joys are now embraced. I say NO often. When l out grew my need for people for my wellbeing......l thrived. Inner and outer bounderious save me every day.
I love these posts. I feel like you are talking very directly to me and they always seem to arrive right on cue at a time when they are most helpful to me. I realise many others will also find them helpful. Thank you, they are such a gift to the world.
"Be all you can be" These are words to live by, no matter what your circumstances are. I can barely walk today and am in a lot of pain. So I accept today will be a quiet day of little physical activity. I have learned to pace myself accordingly and am thankful that I was able to achieve more yesterday. So I can give myself a day off today and enjoy relaxing with hobbies or sitting in the garden. There is so much more to me than pain and disability.
You are a living example of what it means to pay attention to your limitations and possibilities. And to have awareness of the core of you, which is neither disabled nor in pain. Be well, friend.
Understand. Ironically now older less pain....you would think opposite. Lumbar fusion at 40 and 10 years of pain and meds. This week at 66 walked 10 miles weather so nice. I average 7. Also volunteer 2 afternoons at acupuncturist. Miles for week not for day. Loretta😮
I’ve just discovered your channel. I feel like I understand your beautiful message. When I realized that my life belonged to me- not to anyone or anything else, the liberation was almost overwhelming. I understood there was no destiny or roll I had to fill other than the duties and obligations I choose. I was not created. I am creating. I was free to imbue my life with whatever meaning I desire to give it, to shape and mold my experiences and perspective. There is so much power in that. The autonomy. Even when I became critically ill and fully paralyzed for a number of years, and all I had was my mind trapped in my body…I could still create beautiful worlds in my thoughts, and I could still experience so much wonder in this absurd world of dancing particles. Understanding that this is my life, my only life… and it is fragile and finite, gave me no reason to fear my non-existence, but made every moment of experience more precious and worth fighting for. Finger twitch by finger twitch, eye-blink by eye-blink, I survived and recovered to be able to walk marathon distances, to run, to jump…to building another wonderful life. I wake up every day so thrilled to be me, so grateful to be alive.
I needed this😭😭 I spent the last half of my 20s - crucial years - at home to help my parents in small ways since they have to take care of my grandparents. They were happy I was home and hated when I brought up moving out. I would feel so guilty even though they didn't try to stop me. But now I think enough is enough - culturally being at home is so stifling. I still feel bad because a lot of people don't understand the mental and physical burden of elder care but I need to live my life. It's not my problem. I will ofc be there when my own parents need care, but if I stay here for longer I will feel like I wasted my entire life to make them happy.
Wow. I spent my life in service to men. Now at 70, I am finally free to do what I wish, when I wish it. I see these young women living their lives for themselves and I cheer them on.
@@teamili7957 No, it sounds victimizing and not taking responsibility for your choices. Quite the opposite of what existentialism is about. Did I hurt your feelings mam?
Thank you 🏵️🩷🏵️ My mother died in a car accident 25 years ago, and although we weren't close and I wasn't terribly young when she died, I feel lifelong lost. When I listen to you I close my eyes and pretend you're you're my mother (as Emmy not Christina) and take in the guidance to help me mature in health. 👐🏽
We may have more lives than this one but I want to live this one to the best of my abilities. Thank you for your inspiration-going for the best life has to offer!!! You are the best friend everyone is looking for!
It touched me so deep that made me cry... I wish I had someone to say me this when I was a scared child, who somehow survived in harsh environment by giving up on herself and on her life. Now in my late thirties I'm still learning to connect with and to own myself and my freedom and I still strugle to believe that I have a right to exist, that I have a right to own my own life and to have my needs and wants, which... I don't even know what they are, because the idea of having needs and wants itself puts me in such terror that I just can't feel them nor can I feel like being really alive.
Late thirties is a great time to discover your power and your integrity. Your right to exist is now undisputable, as you have earned it many times over. Just look after yourself with care and kindness and your wishes and desires and needs will emerge. Let life showly show you the way.
Thank you for your msg! My wonderful Sister just sent this to me, and it came right when I needed to hear it! I'm a recovering heroin addict (among other drugs) and I do go to counseling. But I still harbor quite a bit of guilt, shame & regrets. I'm finally learning that when I put myself 1st it doesn't mean that I'm being selfish, self centered or conceited. It means that I'm I'm accepting the plain and simple fact that I matter in this world! I've always been a firm believer that your life is what you make of it. The problems in my life are of my own making & it's my responsibility to correct them just as my happiness & peace of mind are my responsibility. I'm going to call my Sister in a minute to thank her as well for sending me your link. I'll be continuing to watch & HEAR your msg's!! Thank you & Bless you for sending this very necessary information!!❤
I will never forget the day I watched this video for the first time. I have been experiencing overwhelming and debilitating anxiety and existential dread to the point where I felt like I was losing my mind. Yesterday morning, before I came across this video on my homepage, I tearfully prayed to God asking for answers about what steps I’m supposed to take because I’m too afraid to take any, and if the desires for what I want to do next that are nestled in my heart and my imagination are steps I am meant to take. I told God I would be patient to wait for those answers to be revealed to me and that I hope when they are revealed, that they’d be clear enough for me to grasp and understand. Not even 2 hours later I went to go sit outside at my favourite bench and smoke a spliff (coping mechanisms) and watch some TH-cam while I enjoyed the fresh air. Your video instantly caught my eye and when I say that your words felt like you were the vessel God used for me to hear exactly what my soul needed to hear to feel reassured. Thank you so much Emmy ❤you are an incredible and inspirational woman. I hope when I get older, I bring the same kind of hope and reassurance to people who need it. And thank you Lord above, for unceasingly and incessantly revealing to me your abundant love, grace, compassion, reassurance, and security. God bless you Emmy and thank you for your sharing your beautiful life and wisdom
Very touching. Thanks so much for letting me know how this has helped you. It is a great encouragement for me to carry on. I hope you visit my channel often and that it may help you find your way out of your predicament and back into life.
Gosh I was reading some of the comments of others. Of hearing of horrible starts in life. And I feel extremely lucky ( even before reading the comments) I grew up with an alcoholic abusive father. And an absentee mother. But I was also being bullied in school in a very extreme way. I was getting it from on all sides. The only place I was safe was with my grandmother. Her love was all I had and she lived over 200 km from us. One day my mother just took off and I've never seen her again . 2weeks later I was kicked out by my drunk father. I was homeless at 16. But after I left my family my life was in turmoil. I was still underaged and I was in foster care till 18. Oh I could tell you some stories. I couldn't catch a break for many years. But I never gave up trying. Oh I thought about it. But I lost job ,after job. Had a bad choice of roommates ( over and over) but I made some serious sacrifices to save up money. I remember eating a head of cabbage for a week. I was so skinny not because I thought I was fat. Or cared about that. But to save money. To try and get to a point where I could live alone . I worked as hard as I could. I met someone when I was stable and we formed a life together. I'm retired and old now. Still with my husband. And things turned out well. I'm happy now. So to anyone who is in hell right now..... Do not stop. Keep going. Until you're out of it. If you are somewhere you don't like , keep moving until you are somewhere else. Never give up. Trust me , you are worth it ! Love to you all! ❤️
Thank you from my heart for writing of your harsh experiences, painful as it was to read. But thank you for taking the time and trouble to write and ultimately give your uplifting message. I am in a dark and difficult place right now, and your words and message have been inspirational to me. God bless you. I am so glad you found peace and happiness.❤
I’m moving back and forth through you your messages, some posted ten years or so ago, not in any linear pattern and each makes a profound impact. It’s wonderful to connect with this way of thinking and to know I can reclaim my existence! Emmy you are such a blessing to the world. I find your songs very interesting and one song (Friend) was as if you had observed me and my ex boyfriend’s lives through the window! Bless you for the kindness andgenerosity you give to the world and thanks.
"Be well, each moment. It matters, how you are." Thank you! I am new to your channel, you speak directly deep into my heart, very inspiring! You are a generous, beautiful soul, blessing sent from beyond.
When I was young Shakespear was a thing. I didn't realize at that time the saying, " To be or not to be" belonged to his works. But they hold true. Tradjedy has frozen me in time. I thaw out a little but then that cruel frost bite reminds me of great loss. Emotionally Iam amputated so my heart although beating feels dead. My existance was expansive and really wonderful but now I can hardly move. I force myself and I do better. I never expected such foul treatment by loved one's. I had given four decades of my life and love to nothing. Iam now maimed. Even as you say though, disabled I am, still there is some great power I must exercise. You're a sweet, smart reminder cookie. Thank you Emmy for the tasty bite this morning. ❤
For what it's worth, I really saw myself in your comments and I think I can relate. Letting go and moving on is the hardest thing, and it almost seems impossible for some. After many years, I haven't been able to do either, but I feel like I have love to give once more. Unfortunately, it's still directed at the person who mistreated me and I'm afraid that's never going to change.
@@Djellowman It's worth a lot. Thank you. Iam sorry for you and me. But some might say that's wrong to feel sorry for yourself. Truth is... those people don't deserve our love. If they were in our lives, honestly would we be better off, or disappointed? I try to think it's a blessing in disguise. To no avail...just like you. Your comment was kind to me, a stranger even. 💝
Thank you as always for this wonderfully inspiring message. I hope you know how much help and live you are spreading. I am so appreciative. Blessings to you. ❤❤❤
I wish I could have listened to someone like you when I was a younger man, thank you for sharing your wisdom Emmy. I always feel energized after listening to one of your videos which at this moment in time is the difference between a good or a bad day.
Wow, I felt like you were talking to me and me alone. I have not seen your channel until now, but you seem to be giving such good messages and positivity. Thank you and I hope more and more people see these and appreciate them.
I don't want to waste my life, but so much of it has already been lost. Born into an abusive family, my youth was destroyed. Now I struggle with severe social anxiety and can't support myself as an adult or have a life. I feel so hopeless, Emmy.
Don’t give up hope!! I struggled with a very similar situation but I’ve done therapy (particularly cbt) and it’s helped tremendously! I’m now conquering my social anxiety and living my childhood in my late 20’s lol, it’s never too late!! I know for many, financial struggles are still there but just try to work a little bit every day towards stability and you will get there eventually, also don’t forget that there are lots of resources out there for us!! Wishing you well 🤞🏻💚💚

A life is a life. You have a life now regardless of whether you have employment. Obviously you have computer access, seemingly a roof over your head and food in your stomach. You have to cultivate a life of gratitude for what you DO have right now. You seem to know what you don't have and what happened in the past. You're no longer a helpless child at the mercy of disturbed adults. What can you do today for yourself to improve your circumstances? Build a life small step by small step. But when a video like this comes along or some other person crosses your path with inspiration, don't be so eager to shoot it down with negativity. Again, that was the past and I believe that everything we have experienced and will experience is for our souls' growth. You do not want to define yourself or identify as a victim, even if you were one. That is very disempowering and becomes the default excuse for not moving forward in life.
I can’t agree at all - for one reason. My father always used to preach at me: “Life is what you make it” but that was so easy for him - he had a wife, a daughter he coercively controlled and treated like a servant, siblings, friends. I have nothing - no parents/siblings or wider family; no partner; friends are all married (many have predeceased me); no children and an impairment caused by his mental abuse. So your assertion that it’s very straight-forward to achieve the life we want is totally untrue: for some of us, it’s impossible.
Tragedy and trauma in our lives can really make it difficult. Sorry that you've had so much to deal with. This message actually communicates the importance of not comparing ourselves to anyone else, and is more about finding and expressing our own unique qualities no matter the size of our lives. It can be something we don't want to hear, especially when we're feeling too drowned out by our circumstances, however the hero to rescue us from a slow death in our own misery, is us. If we can identify even one [or more] qualities we appreciate about ourselves, and find even small joy in those aspects, it's like a little flicker of a flame, which can ignite something greater. It begins that way. The other thing which is important is our choice of words, if we keep saying 'can't' and 'impossible' it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's absolutely possible, it will challenge us though, and our role is to figure out how to rise above each challenge, gaining momentum with every victory. We don't need to focus on many victories to begin with, just one, no matter how small, break it down until it is manageable for where we are at, and begin with that.
Emmy, thank you for making these videos. I've been more open to life since I began watching your videos. Also, love the conviviality you exude, 'my friend' 💜
Dear Emmy, i share your videos with my children. One especially has always found it difficult to negotiate this world. Thank you for helping me not only with the words to express these thoughts to my child but for reminding me how i want to be. All best and positive wishes xo
Emmy, I love your videos! Thanks for posting them. Please can you share more about how to play with life? I’d love more information about this approach.
Words of wisdom. Exactly, I determine how to live it. Right now I need a rental urgently, can you please help find me find one because no one else is finding me one. Thank you

You have to cultivate a life of gratitude for what you DO have right now. You seem to know what you don't have and what happened in the past. You're no longer a helpless child at the mercy of disturbed adults. What can you do today for yourself to improve your circumstances? Build a life small step by small step. But when a video like this comes along or some other person crosses your path with inspiration, don't be so eager to shoot it down with negativity. Again, that was the past and I believe that everything we have experienced and will experience is for our souls' growth. You do not want to define yourself or identify as a victim, even if you were one. That is very disempowering and becomes the default excuse for not moving forward in life.
Let it go, what has already gone. Keep things simple and enjoy the tiny things. Thats what i tell myself.
Thank you for the inspiring message. Stay blessed. ❤️
I can’t agree at all - for one reason. My father always used to preach at me: “Life is what you make it” but that was so easy for him - he had a wife, a daughter he coercively controlled and treated like a servant, siblings, friends. I have nothing - no parents/siblings or wider family; no partner; friends are all married (many have predeceased me); no children and an impairment caused by his mental abuse. So your assertion that it’s very straight-forward to achieve the life we want is totally untrue: for some of us, it’s impossible.
Tragedy and trauma in our lives can really make it difficult. Sorry that you've had so much to deal with. This message actually communicates the importance of not comparing ourselves to anyone else, and is more about finding and expressing our own unique qualities no matter the size of our lives. It can be something we don't want to hear, especially when we're feeling too drowned out by our circumstances, however the hero to rescue us from a slow death in our own misery, is us. If we can identify even one [or more] qualities we appreciate about ourselves, and find even small joy in those aspects, it's like a little flicker of a flame, which can ignite something greater. It begins that way. The other thing which is important is our choice of words, if we keep saying 'can't' and 'impossible' it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's absolutely possible, it will challenge us though, and our role is to figure out how to rise above each challenge, gaining momentum with every victory. We don't need to focus on many victories to begin with, just one, no matter how small, break it down until it is manageable for where we are at, and begin with that.
