I really relate deeply to what you said about lacking motivation to work because of the fear of failing. Its 'creators curse' I believe, being vulnerable enough to be responsible even for your downfalls. How I intend to overcome it is to steadily build confidence in my work by just being present in the day to day. As well as giving myself grace to make mistakes and feel the negatives that come with growth - I remind myself that it's all progress 🐢💚
wow, thanks for your insight on the creators' curseeee!! I'm new to the whole creating thing... I hope I won't find myself in this position! thanks there :)
Just got out of a rut recently and I realized that sometimes I lose motivation when I get bored of doing the same thing over and over and over again. Changing things up and taking a break from my daily tasks helps me feel motivated again. Great video! :)
I definitely needed this video! Depression and anxiety has definitely gotten the better of me. I'm so glad this channel exists to help us get motivated.
Such practical and relevant tips!I have been in a rut since 3-4 months, feeling low, not taking care of myself and eating junk, but today i decided to come out of my comfort zone, i cleaned my apartment, did laundry, took a shower , had my fav breakfast and watched this video, i am feeling super good! Now it’s time for me to work towards my goals🧚🏼♀️
Good for you! Keep it up, you deserve to be good to yourself. You deserve a clean apartment, clean clothes, nourishing food. You deserve a clean fresh body and to feel good and motivated for life. Wishing you all the best. 😊👍🏻
Lavendaier is my coping mechanism whenever I feel low or experiencing a burn out. I start watching your videos and it gives me hope 💫 I wanna thank you Aileen ❤🙏 stay blessed and shine like a star ✨
What are you struggling to find motivation for lately? No matter where in the journey you are, you're exactly where you need to be. Relax, and know that everything will be okay. ❤️ One step at a time!
Its so beautiful that the first step to get out of a rut is to be aware when you hit 'that' low point, and you just build your growth upwards from that moment and i really like the way you adress it ❤
I used to be a very unmotivated person, with your videos i have changed so much! Thanks you so much Aileen :> Your videos are the moment I wait for every weeks ✨
the universe really knows what timing is..this is such a divine timing moment where u explained my feelings in such a way that i now understand on a much deeper why this happens to myself

genuinely feel like you might've read my mind or something for this one. thank you for reminding me again and allowing me to find my spark to my fire! :) so for the past few weeks, I've just been accepted as a transfer student at USC and in a way, I was happy in the sense that I feel like my hard work has paid off. For the past year, I've been studying in New York and have been hustling hard because of the culture, and during then, I felt alive and on my feet all the time. Now that I'm back home for the summer, I want to create my own art again but I started to question myself 'why do i do what i do? why am i doing art... and why is it important to me?' I can't exactly say that I've found an answer in the past few weeks of my reflection but at points, i wanted to do art because i felt anxious about not doing anything. but when i did art, i just wasn't happy with what i created. However, i think it's okay to allow yourself time to not feel motivated. it's fine to have moments of not doing anything.

When I didn't pass the exam with flying colours, I felt like ...I developed a sense of anxiety as well as sadness, and then I saw your video, I realized that I needed to update and improve myself to be better, become a better version in my life, and be self- motivated The biggest failure doesn't not lie the failure itself but the facts that I don't try my best and try enough that leads to my failure Thank you for this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been putting off exercising because I have also always heard that the best time to exercise is in the morning. I am just not a morning person though and Can completely relate to what you said. I’m going to start working out in the afternoons/evenings and with more confidence that it’s what works for me.
Thank you so much Aileen for still trying to post even though it has been hard for you to find motivation. I have been struggling recently to find motivation for life in general, and I realized that I was disconnected with myself. I have never been good at tracking my progress, but I’m going to try and be better with that this time around. You are always so inspiring! Love you girl! 💕
I've lost my creative spark since 2017. Miss being consistent with it. The ending of this video was beautiful thank you ☺️ Hope everyone reading this feels valid and inspired 💚💚💚
these past 4 weeks i’ve went through all four stages to why i’m unmotivated and depressed and I’m ready to exit this rut and leave it in march. I want to enter the month of april with the energy I came into the beginning of this year with. January was so good to me. I just pray to keep my eye on my goals and God’s vision. I pray to stay consistent, limit social media, and be more productive throughout each day. I pray to challenge myself in so many ways and lastly to grow in such a way that I don’t even recognize the new version of myself! I love and appreciate you Lavendaire, you bring such a peaceful vibe to me and I appreciate the knowledge given ❤
I had a meltdown a few days ago and the worst part about it was I did it in front of my daughter. That was my low point that has brought me here today, I am just not happy or motivated where I am financially, work-wise, in my living space, etc. the only thing I’ve ever been happy with is my daughter and I showed her that side of me I never wanted to show her. It was my wake up call. Thanks for the video Aileen, it’s exactly what I needed, hope you find that energy and motivation again soon to keep posting- I love your videos!
I found out lately that I have OCD and now I have depressive episode. It's so strange to me, because I was always happy person. But I started watching your videos and I feel better already. You are really inspiring and your videos help me so much. You are amazing Aileen, I hope you know that ❤️
I know what you mean, I went through something similar when I got my ADHD diagnosis last year. I try to remember that getting a diagnosis means you can find the right treatment but it’s hard not to think about the time lost on not being diagnosed sooner.
I lacked motivation to work out for about a year. I was still finding movement most days (walking and yoga), but I hit a plateau because I was doing the same things for so long. I decided to join a gym 3 minutes down the street and now take a weight lifting class 2x/week! It's totally different than what I'm used to, but that's what keeps me showing up because it's exciting and new. Happy body, happy mind. And I still take walks and practice yoga which is the perfect complement to weights :)
OMG Aileen! It's like you're speaking to me. Thank you for making this video. Sometimes you know what it is that is holding you back, but when you hear someone else tell you it just hits different and it resonates with you on a deeper level.

Summer recently just started for me and my year of school was just so stressful and I cried a lot because of friend issues, the amount of work I have gotten, my really bad stomach issues, never getting enough sleep and so much more. The whole year I was so burnt out from everything going on. By the end of my school year I really lacked motivation and being productive…I just was sitting watching TV for a couple weeks and I would just sleep all day long. I would always be so tired and never wanted to get up and I even didn’t get myself up to get something to eat. I’m still recovering from my school year and I’m doing better. I’m taking things slowly and trying to plan easy things I can start off with like working out and getting better sleep. I’m also getting myself back into my healthy habits like drinking alot of water, journaling and in general just taking care of myself. Thank you so much Lavendaire for posting so many helpful videos especially this one🥰🥺you don’t know how much you have helped me this month just getting myself back together and inspiring me to try so many new things!💜 your such a relatable person and show others that it’s ok to take things easy and to always do what’s best for you🥰💜 thank you so much again for everything!🥰🤗🥰
Hi Ate Aileen.Im Julie Mar Aberilla from Philippines,I really love watching your videos every morning to start up my day and listened to your to your podcast while doing my chores.Whenever I heard your voice,it feels like your positivity flows throughout my nerves,until one of your videos I Had watched caught my interest (50 facts about me) .I realized we have a lot in common and similarities.It seems like I see my future self to you. You aren't just save my day,you also save my life . I LOVE YOU ATE AILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!🥰💜
Thank u Aileen for adding subtitles.. Even if I could understand english Subtitles is something that I read simultaneously which helps to be more consistent and the combination of ur healing voice is something I love... Thanks and thanks a lot Lots of love from India.. 😊
This came at a really good time. I am currently feeling like I'm approaching a low point again due to hating my job, trying to juggle work/school and just life, etc... I woke up this morning and I felt like I need to pace myself and put myself first so I will definitely try out some of these tips. I think the hardest thing for me is finding a routine and sticking to it.
I so much relate to that !! I went through that a few weeks ago because of Fear, fear of succeeding and actually moving my work and myself to the next level but also social media really consumed me.
As a graduating student, I'm thankful for this video, school just finished and no more homeworks until next school year and lately I've been feeling overwhelmed and unmotivated. It feels like I'm back to zero, I don't even know how I manage to graduate and survive lmao
It’s ur holiday time ,take time for yourself ,read other books ,meditate ,work out ,go out with friends do all the happy things u can think of u will be energised for the next journey!😍
Really happy that you didn't feel like sharing too much with the public, and that you listened to yourself! I feel it's *natural* to have such periods of time..
I found this at 111k views. I haven’t been meditating every morning when I wake up and before I go to bed. I haven’t been journaling as much and have just been on my phone in place of doing these things. Thank you for this❤️

I've been feeling fear in me since 2020. I don't want to go out of my comfort zone and try new things. However, this video really motivate me. Thank you for making this video ❤️
I found Krissy Cela’s recent video on how time of the month can affect our motivation interesting. Definitely times in the month where I am super motivated and other times I just want to rest. I’ve also been struggling to motivate myself to do work but I am journalling on it and realise that it does not align with my values so I am looking for a new job!
Thank you for this video, it will help me a lot. It's been three weeks since I finished my school term exams and even though it's been a while it's been hard for me to get motivated again both in studying and in other areas of my life. I have lost interest in many things and I got tired of feeling like this. So here I am starting little by little again. Thank you for reminding me that we are human and not machines, I was so desperate for motivation when it is also necessary to rest and de-energize. I thank you for helping me understand that and I will take each of your advice little by little. Lots of health and blessings to you Lan
Oh I’ve missed you! You’ve really helped me cope through some rough times. I was so happy you posted and this is exactly what I needed. I stop meditating, and writing every morning, doing my gratitude list just didn’t make the time and stress from family issues and work just got on top of me. I’m feeling positive and remember everything the mind says the body hears. One day at a time 🙏🏻🙂
This is such a timely and spot on video for me at this moment! I cant get myself working out and I feel lack of confidence because of my mommy pouch! Dont feel you have the need to post every week. I basically juat watch each of your new post whenever it appears on the feed. We v much appreciate your will to be vulnerable in front of us. You produce one of the highest quality videos! Lots of xxx
OMG this video is super related to my situation right now! Been hitting a rock bottom regarding my phd journey for the past month and having the fear of failing. Then I found myself again after a short trip to another city sending my brother to college (I mean, not a holiday or so). But I felt like, oh, I actually just need to go out of my work desk, thesis out of sight for couple of days. And I started coming back to your channel for guided meditation this morning after missing meditation for few months. Yeah I really need to get back on track and I look forward to try your suggestions. Thank you Aileen🌹
I’ve also been feeling really unmotivated lately, it became worse when a trip I was planning for my birthday in 3 weeks had to be cancelled at short notice. That threw me off even more such that I’m struggling with doing my daily habits, exercising (it’s currently winter in my country), staying on track with my graduate school tasks and my job. I want to make the change and get back to “normal” but at the same time I just feel like lying in bed all day and doing nothing.
Hi Aileen💕✨ I knew your Channel the last year and I was surprised about how much art, knowledge, inspiration, hope and light that contains. I was happy to find a TH-cam channel that provides a content that we need in our days, I mean to find someone who can guide us with her words and her energy that stems from her heart and soul is a great thing . I discover the world of healing last year and I was glad to find you sharing your own real experience you inspiring me to go on this long exciting journey. Regarding your question, when I lose motivation in something I give myself a break and look back ask myself and think deeply take some notes and search for answers then make a plan and track my progression even if it was tiny, and try to be present and more grateful. Aileen, you may be lost your motivation in making this type of video because you master it and you need to jump to your next level. I believe that you will figure it out and find a new spark again hope you the best and I sending you too much love and positive energy, Marwah 🧚♂️💕🌿
I think for me, the pandemic "squashed my bounce" quite a bit. In the household I'm in, we had to shield (not go anywhere etc) for a year. It wasn't a choice to not go to the gym classes, see friends, etc, I went into trauma. My life became through a screen. Lots of things started, stopped, changed, I had no continuity or consistency with anything really. I felt very isolated. I said to myself I must do exercise every day and eat well as they're the two things I had control of. But, like you, I struggled motivating myself to exercise alone. I struggled with lack of privacy, etc. I didn't gain a lot of weight like many people did. But I feel heavy, untoned and not "sharp". So exercise definitely needs to be a priority for me. Quality social connection and meaningful things. I need a plan too... We can do this....x thanm you for making this video.
I have been lack of motivation in the past two months and feel like giving up and runaway from my fear. The content you shared in this video is how exactly I felt... Going to try the hacks you shared and see whether it works for me. Thank you so much Aileen
I really am trying from past 2-3 weeks to be consistent on my workouts and there are some days when i can't workout. I used to stress out before but now i am accepting that i cannot be in my a game everyday. Its okay to miss workouts but be consistent. Do it when you have time or you are in capacity to. This has changed a lot in me..i feel more better and Free now. And your videos helps me in understanding myself a lot better. Our own brain can be so bad sometimes. Thank you for motivating.
Studying anatomy. The professor provides an colorful, color coding, easy packet though I’ve been unmotivated to study. Possibly it’s because of how I view the class as ‘easy’ I felt like it easy for me not to study. There several other reasons, as you mentioned that’s making me unmotivated. I would love to challenge myself and take this class seriously.
“To see what it would be like to prioritize my self and well being.” So beautiful, thanks so much for sharing this! As a new TH-camr, this feels like a really helpful reminder for me to start off with!
I’ve always been struggling with my exercising. I want to gain weight and build lean muscles and be healthy in general, but every time I start, I can only be consistent with it for about a month and then I don’t do it for another few months, and it’s so hard to keep going back to it after few months. I’ve been trying to be consistent with it for the past few years to finally get my dream body but it’s been difficult ! 🌸☀️ Thank you Aileen, you have motivated me to keep trying!😊💕
the fear is so real! sometimes i lack motivation because I fear that my dreams are too hard to achieve, and that is simply blocking me. But when else would we pursue our dreams if not in this life? :)
Hey sister. I really love your videos. I am an asian. And honestly whenever I need motivation i really hop on TH-cam and just click on your videos it really make me calm and at peace and i even want to try your notebooks am a pretty big fan of it but i don't know whether I can get it or not i really would love to have it . I started journallinng and doing morning pages from getting motivation from you . I wish I could meet you . 💓 Lots of love from India 💓
Simply watching this video motivate me for good projects, thank you Aileen for those. simple tips that we too often forget 💕, I really love the idea of keeping track of my work I realized it's what I missed lately thank you 💕 I really appreciate your videos and lately I've been seeing more of an authentic side of you it's so beautiful thank you again sending you love ❤
I started watching your videos when I felt lost a long time ago and I instantly feel comfortable & good. Your content and your amazing voice I love them they are soothing- 💜
Actually i'm struggling with focusing while i'm studying... i'm just on that low level of power and i find everything overwhelming... i'll try yoga it's one of the activities i wanna do 😅 thanks for your inspiring videos Eileen❤ i wish i could get to know u personally and had a conversation❤😁
I'm having problems with health and nutrition. Thank you for this because in just showing up it's a huge difference. Made my nutrition list as well to be more motivated and be reminded to be more mindful of what I eat and also from your previouse vlog "mindful eating". Can't wait to have progress. Thank you
I am so inlove with this video, relate much to the content, thank you aileen, it helped my mind thinking about prioritizing self care and mental wellness.. more videos like these please..
I really needed this.. But as for me I'm not lacking confidence bcs of failing.. I know I will and can do it.. But I just don't do.. 🥺🥺but it's final season.. I have to focus on exams and at the end of June I will.. Will completely change... And I have a lot of things I wanna do.. Including my TH-cam, Fitness, and mindfullness... I think I can.. And I rly hope.. All these years I have been failing to do it.. But I never give up... Thanku Aileen for this.. ✨✨
I am mostly struggled with fear because I care about the feelings of people around me although I know that it is not good for my health. Also, I have been disconnected from myself but it already got better because I spend my own time in cafe daily by a comfort zone created. I am going to think about what is my low point, and based on knowledge learned, I am going to focus myself on a plan. Then, I am going to make it reality by practicing it daily.
So happy that you are back. I have watched your channel for a while and it keeps helping me get better everyday. Thank you for that and love you so muchhh
This is so relatable. These past few days I've been so stressed and unmotivated to do things that I used to love--the stagnant feeling. I'm still studying feel like I'm stuck between prioritizing myself or studying... I'm always thankful to you Aileen, you always impart knowledge that I/we can apply to our life. Hoping for myself to get back on track soon🥺🤍 P.S that Bonus reason hits different. I will reflect on that. Stay Safe!
thank you for another great video Aileen! ✨ i realized one reason why I've been unmotivated: I compare myself to others too much. whenever I decided to start a creative work, I remember other people my age and think, "wait, what I'm abt to do is NOTHING compared to what they did, so what's the point?" i realized that this is an unhealthy mindset coz it always ends up in me doing NOTHING. but hey, doing something small or minor is still waaay better than doing nothing at all, right? this can be tied up with your reason that I'm disconnected from myself. yes, all I've thought abt recently was how teenagers my age (17, about to go to senior year) are doing really well. I've worried a little too much abt college applications and how other teens are able to get high stats (perfect GPA, SAT score, extracurriculars, essays...) and it honestly stresses me out.... so I'll try to reconnect to my deepest self by journalling so that I'll just shut all the voices in my head that compares me with other ppl.
My issue is i feel as if im not good at content creating and not popular or rich enough to be successful creator but I have to remember that i am perfect and that im good at things and that i shouldnt measure my success like others. Just showing up and doing it is success.
Thanks Aileen for this video. I can relate. 🤩 I also feel not motivated sharing my life / my thoughts onto social media. Just like Aileen mentioned, I think it is the fear of failing and I am not quiet down in my mind. The fear is quite hare to overcome...
I feel like I can always relate with you. If I feel unmotivated I love watching your videos t get back on track. Thank you for always inspiring me. I feel like I have a sister that guides me in my life. Thanks ate (sister) keep on creating videos!
Thank you so much for this video. These past three days I've felt weirdly stuck.. Also last night I had a dream with flowers that looked like the ones at the start of the video, I thought that was funny 🌷✨

Excellent timing!
My spark’s been drowned out by family stuff. Things are getting better now for everyone but I’m still working on getting it back.
I know how that feels, for sure, it will definitely pass but I hope you and your family will do well in the near future ♥️
Ahh hope everything is figured out with the family stuff. ❤️

Thx for being here on utube ... U r the reason I feel a bit better after watchin your videos
Thanks dear❤
i feel lost and i just want to rest.
Cleaning but I listen 👂 to you utubes now and I get more accomplished, thank you
Its so beautiful that the first step to get out of a rut is to be aware when you hit 'that' low point, and you just build your growth upwards from that moment and i really like the way you adress it ❤
I used to be a very unmotivated person, with your videos i have changed so much! Thanks you so much Aileen :>
Your videos are the moment I wait for every weeks ✨
the universe really knows what timing is..this is such a divine timing moment where u explained my feelings in such a way that i now understand on a much deeper why this happens to myself
This was so helpful 🤍🤍
Here’s a little SUMMARY in case anyone is short on time ⬇️⬇️⬇️
🔴WHY you lack motivation:
-FEAR: (ex: fear of failing)
✅Solution: you have to face it and overcome it
- DISCONNECTION FROM SELF: not doing core habits to stay in tune with your intuition such as
meditation or journaling
✅Solution: Do those core habits again
-COMFORT ZONE: you operate too much in it, it’s safe and easy, but it means LESS energy coming in.
✅ Solution: do something new or get in a new environment
BONUS TIP: lack of motivation can be a REDIRECTION- maybe you’re not feeling that zest for a reason
✅Solution: maybe try a new path
✨HOW TO PICK YOURSELF BACK UP:✨
- hit a low point where your SELF AWARENESS kicks in & you’re ready to change
- gather KNOWLEDGE and INSPIRATION: organize ideas + plans; ask yourself what YOU can stick to
- TRACK YOUR PROGRESS: it can motivate you!
- make TIME and PRIORITIZE: make a schedule and make it easy to show up
✨ I really hope this helps! Have a great day :)
Oh no, I just realized someone else made a comment like this! I’m so sorry! I hope this still helps tho!
This actually helped me alot,so thank you sm
genuinely feel like you might've read my mind or something for this one. thank you for reminding me again and allowing me to find my spark to my fire! :)
so for the past few weeks, I've just been accepted as a transfer student at USC and in a way, I was happy in the sense that I feel like my hard work has paid off. For the past year, I've been studying in New York and have been hustling hard because of the culture, and during then, I felt alive and on my feet all the time. Now that I'm back home for the summer, I want to create my own art again but I started to question myself 'why do i do what i do? why am i doing art... and why is it important to me?'
I can't exactly say that I've found an answer in the past few weeks of my reflection but at points, i wanted to do art because i felt anxious about not doing anything. but when i did art, i just wasn't happy with what i created. However, i think it's okay to allow yourself time to not feel motivated. it's fine to have moments of not doing anything.

When I didn't pass the exam with flying colours, I felt like ...I developed a sense of anxiety as well as sadness, and then I saw your video, I realized that I needed to update and improve myself to be better, become a better version in my life, and be self- motivated
The biggest failure doesn't not lie the failure itself but the facts that I don't try my best and try enough that leads to my failure
Thank you for this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been putting off exercising because I have also always heard that the best time to exercise is in the morning. I am just not a morning person though and Can completely relate to what you said. I’m going to start working out in the afternoons/evenings and with more confidence that it’s what works for me.
Thank you so much Aileen for still trying to post even though it has been hard for you to find motivation. I have been struggling recently to find motivation for life in general, and I realized that I was disconnected with myself. I have never been good at tracking my progress, but I’m going to try and be better with that this time around. You are always so inspiring! Love you girl! 💕
Thank you! I hope it helps 💕
I've lost my creative spark since 2017. Miss being consistent with it. The ending of this video was beautiful thank you ☺️ Hope everyone reading this feels valid and inspired 💚💚💚

these past 4 weeks i’ve went through all four stages to why i’m unmotivated and depressed and I’m ready to exit this rut and leave it in march. I want to enter the month of april with the energy I came into the beginning of this year with. January was so good to me. I just pray to keep my eye on my goals and God’s vision. I pray to stay consistent, limit social media, and be more productive throughout each day. I pray to challenge myself in so many ways and lastly to grow in such a way that I don’t even recognize the new version of myself! I love and appreciate you Lavendaire, you bring such a peaceful vibe to me and I appreciate the knowledge given ❤
I had a meltdown a few days ago and the worst part about it was I did it in front of my daughter. That was my low point that has brought me here today, I am just not happy or motivated where I am financially, work-wise, in my living space, etc. the only thing I’ve ever been happy with is my daughter and I showed her that side of me I never wanted to show her. It was my wake up call. Thanks for the video Aileen, it’s exactly what I needed, hope you find that energy and motivation again soon to keep posting- I love your videos!
The way you broke it down made it so easy. I need to do a journal of my day track what I did in the day. And yes FEAR is my biggest!
I found out lately that I have OCD and now I have depressive episode. It's so strange to me, because I was always happy person. But I started watching your videos and I feel better already. You are really inspiring and your videos help me so much. You are amazing Aileen, I hope you know that ❤️
I know what you mean, I went through something similar when I got my ADHD diagnosis last year. I try to remember that getting a diagnosis means you can find the right treatment but it’s hard not to think about the time lost on not being diagnosed sooner.
I lacked motivation to work out for about a year. I was still finding movement most days (walking and yoga), but I hit a plateau because I was doing the same things for so long. I decided to join a gym 3 minutes down the street and now take a weight lifting class 2x/week! It's totally different than what I'm used to, but that's what keeps me showing up because it's exciting and new. Happy body, happy mind. And I still take walks and practice yoga which is the perfect complement to weights :)
Love that for you! Agree, changing it up can be really great
I got my weight done but no luck with motivation in everything else
OMG Aileen! It's like you're speaking to me. Thank you for making this video. Sometimes you know what it is that is holding you back, but when you hear someone else tell you it just hits different and it resonates with you on a deeper level.

Summer recently just started for me and my year of school was just so stressful and I cried a lot because of friend issues, the amount of work I have gotten, my really bad stomach issues, never getting enough sleep and so much more. The whole year I was so burnt out from everything going on. By the end of my school year I really lacked motivation and being productive…I just was sitting watching TV for a couple weeks and I would just sleep all day long. I would always be so tired and never wanted to get up and I even didn’t get myself up to get something to eat. I’m still recovering from my school year and I’m doing better. I’m taking things slowly and trying to plan easy things I can start off with like working out and getting better sleep. I’m also getting myself back into my healthy habits like drinking alot of water, journaling and in general just taking care of myself. Thank you so much Lavendaire for posting so many helpful videos especially this one🥰🥺you don’t know how much you have helped me this month just getting myself back together and inspiring me to try so many new things!💜 your such a relatable person and show others that it’s ok to take things easy and to always do what’s best for you🥰💜 thank you so much again for everything!🥰🤗🥰
Hi Ate Aileen.Im Julie Mar Aberilla from Philippines,I really love watching your videos every morning to start up my day and listened to your to your podcast while doing my chores.Whenever I heard your voice,it feels like your positivity flows throughout my nerves,until one of your videos I Had watched caught my interest (50 facts about me) .I realized we have a lot in common and similarities.It seems like I see my future self to you.
You aren't just save my day,you also save my life .
I LOVE YOU ATE AILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!🥰💜
Thank you for your beautiful words I really wish I could change my life for the better
Honesty about how you feel instead of feeling you owe everyone yourself is cool
Thank u Aileen for adding subtitles..
Even if I could understand english
Subtitles is something that I read simultaneously which helps to be more consistent and the combination of ur healing voice is something I love... Thanks and thanks a lot
Lots of love from India.. 😊
that’s soo true! I want to do something but I want to do it perfect not just like others and because of that fear I can’t even start it.
This came at a really good time. I am currently feeling like I'm approaching a low point again due to hating my job, trying to juggle work/school and just life, etc... I woke up this morning and I felt like I need to pace myself and put myself first so I will definitely try out some of these tips. I think the hardest thing for me is finding a routine and sticking to it.
I am on same page Lilli. Hope we all will find our motivation which has lost somewhere 🪷

I so much relate to that !! I went through that a few weeks ago because of Fear, fear of succeeding and actually moving my work and myself to the next level but also social media really consumed me.
I hadn't thought that a lack of motivation could come from fear....That's helpful! Thank you, Aileen. xo
As a graduating student, I'm thankful for this video, school just finished and no more homeworks until next school year and lately I've been feeling overwhelmed and unmotivated. It feels like I'm back to zero, I don't even know how I manage to graduate and survive lmao
It’s ur holiday time ,take time for yourself ,read other books ,meditate ,work out ,go out with friends do all the happy things u can think of u will be energised for the next journey!😍
Really happy that you didn't feel like sharing too much with the public, and that you listened to yourself!
I feel it's *natural* to have such periods of time..
I found this at 111k views. I haven’t been meditating every morning when I wake up and before I go to bed. I haven’t been journaling as much and have just been on my phone in place of doing these things. Thank you for this❤️

I've been feeling fear in me since 2020. I don't want to go out of my comfort zone and try new things. However, this video really motivate me. Thank you for making this video ❤️
Aileen is like that bestie who will give you tons of life advices and always push you forward. That's exactly what I need today. I love you Aileen 💖
I found Krissy Cela’s recent video on how time of the month can affect our motivation interesting. Definitely times in the month where I am super motivated and other times I just want to rest. I’ve also been struggling to motivate myself to do work but I am journalling on it and realise that it does not align with my values so I am looking for a new job!
No pressure but pls make more videos. Your voice is soo relaxing and it helps me destress, relax and love your ideas
Thank you for this video, it will help me a lot.
It's been three weeks since I finished my school term exams and even though it's been a while it's been hard for me to get motivated again both in studying and in other areas of my life. I have lost interest in many things and I got tired of feeling like this.
So here I am starting little by little again. Thank you for reminding me that we are human and not machines, I was so desperate for motivation when it is also necessary to rest and de-energize.
I thank you for helping me understand that and I will take each of your advice little by little. Lots of health and blessings to you Lan
Oh I’ve missed you! You’ve really helped me cope through some rough times. I was so happy you posted and this is exactly what I needed. I stop meditating, and writing every morning, doing my gratitude list just didn’t make the time and stress from family issues and work just got on top of me. I’m feeling positive and remember everything the mind says the body hears. One day at a time 🙏🏻🙂
all good, you're right - one day at a time ❤️
Oh wow, that's bind blowing. Prioritizing myself and health first, before work. I so often squeeze myself in and around work.
This is such a timely and spot on video for me at this moment! I cant get myself working out and I feel lack of confidence because of my mommy pouch!
Dont feel you have the need to post every week. I basically juat watch each of your new post whenever it appears on the feed. We v much appreciate your will to be vulnerable in front of us. You produce one of the highest quality videos! Lots of xxx
OMG this video is super related to my situation right now! Been hitting a rock bottom regarding my phd journey for the past month and having the fear of failing. Then I found myself again after a short trip to another city sending my brother to college (I mean, not a holiday or so). But I felt like, oh, I actually just need to go out of my work desk, thesis out of sight for couple of days. And I started coming back to your channel for guided meditation this morning after missing meditation for few months. Yeah I really need to get back on track and I look forward to try your suggestions. Thank you Aileen🌹
I love your videos. They’re so calming and motivating for me. I already downloaded the ap and im going to make a youtube workout playlist now
I’ve also been feeling really unmotivated lately, it became worse when a trip I was planning for my birthday in 3 weeks had to be cancelled at short notice. That threw me off even more such that I’m struggling with doing my daily habits, exercising (it’s currently winter in my country), staying on track with my graduate school tasks and my job. I want to make the change and get back to “normal” but at the same time I just feel like lying in bed all day and doing nothing.
Hi Aileen💕✨
I knew your Channel the last year and I was surprised about how much art, knowledge, inspiration, hope and light that contains.
I was happy to find a TH-cam channel that provides a content that we need in our days, I mean to find someone who can guide us with her words and her energy that stems from her heart and soul is a great thing .
I discover the world of healing last year and I was glad to find you sharing your own real experience you inspiring me to go on this long exciting journey.
Regarding your question, when I lose motivation in something I give myself a break and look back ask myself and think deeply take some notes and search for answers then make a plan and track my progression even if it was tiny, and try to be present and more grateful.
Aileen, you may be lost your motivation in making this type of video because you master it and you need to jump to your next level.
I believe that you will figure it out and find a new spark again hope you the best and I sending you too much love and positive energy, Marwah 🧚♂️💕🌿
I think for me, the pandemic "squashed my bounce" quite a bit. In the household I'm in, we had to shield (not go anywhere etc) for a year. It wasn't a choice to not go to the gym classes, see friends, etc, I went into trauma.
My life became through a screen. Lots of things started, stopped, changed, I had no continuity or consistency with anything really. I felt very isolated.
I said to myself I must do exercise every day and eat well as they're the two things I had control of.
But, like you, I struggled motivating myself to exercise alone. I struggled with lack of privacy, etc. I didn't gain a lot of weight like many people did. But I feel heavy, untoned and not "sharp". So exercise definitely needs to be a priority for me.
Quality social connection and meaningful things.
I need a plan too...
We can do this....x thanm you for making this video.
Love your sharing - openness and insights 🍄
i love youuu thank you for always sharing positivity 🥺💖 i love your energy and your calming voice 💓💕
I have been lack of motivation in the past two months and feel like giving up and runaway from my fear. The content you shared in this video is how exactly I felt... Going to try the hacks you shared and see whether it works for me. Thank you so much Aileen
I enjoy yoga meditation journaling dance videos on TH-cam exercising on my own and with my personal trainer and coloring reading
I really am trying from past 2-3 weeks to be consistent on my workouts and there are some days when i can't workout. I used to stress out before but now i am accepting that i cannot be in my a game everyday. Its okay to miss workouts but be consistent. Do it when you have time or you are in capacity to. This has changed a lot in me..i feel more better and Free now. And your videos helps me in understanding myself a lot better. Our own brain can be so bad sometimes. Thank you for motivating.
You’re changing my life. ❤
thank you so much for these videos they have been giving me more motivation again
Studying anatomy. The professor provides an colorful, color coding, easy packet though I’ve been unmotivated to study. Possibly it’s because of how I view the class as ‘easy’ I felt like it easy for me not to study. There several other reasons, as you mentioned that’s making me unmotivated. I would love to challenge myself and take this class seriously.
“To see what it would be like to prioritize my self and well being.” So beautiful, thanks so much for sharing this! As a new TH-camr, this feels like a really helpful reminder for me to start off with!
😊
انتي الوحيدة الي افكارك تريحني،شكراااا،ارسل لك بعض الحب والسعادة💌💗💗💗💗🦋.
THANK YOU SO MUCH LAVENDAIRE!❤️
I’ve always been struggling with my exercising. I want to gain weight and build lean muscles and be healthy in general, but every time I start, I can only be consistent with it for about a month and then I don’t do it for another few months, and it’s so hard to keep going back to it after few months. I’ve been trying to be consistent with it for the past few years to finally get my dream body but it’s been difficult ! 🌸☀️ Thank you Aileen, you have motivated me to keep trying!😊💕
the fear is so real! sometimes i lack motivation because I fear that my dreams are too hard to achieve, and that is simply blocking me. But when else would we pursue our dreams if not in this life? :)
Thank you for sharing positivity. really needed this🥰
I think you have such positive abundant energy ⭐
Hey sister. I really love your videos. I am an asian. And honestly whenever I need motivation i really hop on TH-cam and just click on your videos it really make me calm and at peace and i even want to try your notebooks am a pretty big fan of it but i don't know whether I can get it or not i really would love to have it . I started journallinng and doing morning pages from getting motivation from you . I wish I could meet you . 💓 Lots of love from India 💓
Simply watching this video motivate me for good projects, thank you Aileen for those. simple tips that we too often forget 💕, I really love the idea of keeping track of my work I realized it's what I missed lately thank you 💕 I really appreciate your videos and lately I've been seeing more of an authentic side of you it's so beautiful thank you again sending you love ❤
I need motivation to just relax without a screen and find a creative project! Thankyou for this video!
thank yu for this video, i really needed it!
I started watching your videos when I felt lost a long time ago and I instantly feel comfortable & good. Your content and your amazing voice I love them they are soothing- 💜
Actually i'm struggling with focusing while i'm studying... i'm just on that low level of power and i find everything overwhelming... i'll try yoga it's one of the activities i wanna do 😅 thanks for your inspiring videos Eileen❤ i wish i could get to know u personally and had a conversation❤😁
Just wanna sendback so much love to you Aileen. Your videos helped me a lot. Hope to meet you someday
I'm having problems with health and nutrition. Thank you for this because in just showing up it's a huge difference. Made my nutrition list as well to be more motivated and be reminded to be more mindful of what I eat and also from your previouse vlog "mindful eating". Can't wait to have progress. Thank you
Health is one of the things I know I need to improve on, this was so inspiring and helpful!
Hi Aileen! Thank you so much for all your videos ❤️❤️❤️ they really helped me alot as a person and you're my most favourite youtuber!!! :)💖💝
I am so inlove with this video, relate much to the content, thank you aileen, it helped my mind thinking about prioritizing self care and mental wellness.. more videos like these please..
I really needed this.. But as for me I'm not lacking confidence bcs of failing.. I know I will and can do it.. But I just don't do.. 🥺🥺but it's final season.. I have to focus on exams and at the end of June I will.. Will completely change... And I have a lot of things I wanna do.. Including my TH-cam, Fitness, and mindfullness... I think I can.. And I rly hope.. All these years I have been failing to do it.. But I never give up... Thanku Aileen for this.. ✨✨
I am mostly struggled with fear because I care about the feelings of people around me although I know that it is not good for my health. Also, I have been disconnected from myself but it already got better because I spend my own time in cafe daily by a comfort zone created. I am going to think about what is my low point, and based on knowledge learned, I am going to focus myself on a plan. Then, I am going to make it reality by practicing it daily.
So happy that you are back. I have watched your channel for a while and it keeps helping me get better everyday. Thank you for that and love you so muchhh
thanks for this video. I am motivated ready to change my life right now.🥰🥰
Thank you for sharing this, been in a similar space lately!
This is so relatable. These past few days I've been so stressed and unmotivated to do things that I used to love--the stagnant feeling. I'm still studying feel like I'm stuck between prioritizing myself or studying... I'm always thankful to you Aileen, you always impart knowledge that I/we can apply to our life. Hoping for myself to get back on track soon🥺🤍
P.S that Bonus reason hits different. I will reflect on that. Stay Safe!
thank you for another great video Aileen! ✨ i realized one reason why I've been unmotivated: I compare myself to others too much. whenever I decided to start a creative work, I remember other people my age and think, "wait, what I'm abt to do is NOTHING compared to what they did, so what's the point?" i realized that this is an unhealthy mindset coz it always ends up in me doing NOTHING. but hey, doing something small or minor is still waaay better than doing nothing at all, right? this can be tied up with your reason that I'm disconnected from myself. yes, all I've thought abt recently was how teenagers my age (17, about to go to senior year) are doing really well. I've worried a little too much abt college applications and how other teens are able to get high stats (perfect GPA, SAT score, extracurriculars, essays...) and it honestly stresses me out.... so I'll try to reconnect to my deepest self by journalling so that I'll just shut all the voices in my head that compares me with other ppl.
I just started watching your videos last week. You are amazing! It’s ok to take a break and your old videos are awesome to watch too!
love your suit and earrings. i love how u always look good in every outfit you wear aileen. 🥰
My issue is i feel as if im not good at content creating and not popular or rich enough to be successful creator but I have to remember that i am perfect and that im good at things and that i shouldnt measure my success like others. Just showing up and doing it is success.
Thanks! I really needed this today ❤️
Thanks Aileen for this video. I can relate. 🤩 I also feel not motivated sharing my life / my thoughts onto social media. Just like Aileen mentioned, I think it is the fear of failing and I am not quiet down in my mind. The fear is quite hare to overcome...
Watching it in November 2024. I can relate to every point of "why". I will start the tips tomorrow.
I feel like I can always relate with you. If I feel unmotivated I love watching your videos t get back on track. Thank you for always inspiring me. I feel like I have a sister that guides me in my life. Thanks ate (sister) keep on creating videos!
I so needed this..thank u❤😃✨
I just found you're channel and I'm in love it helps me so much thank you ❤
I just want to say, thank you for sharing this.
I really REALLY needed to hear this. I needed to quiet my mind. Thank you so much for putting this out
Thankyou for your videos, I think Iam on the right track again 😍😍😍
Thank you so much for this video. These past three days I've felt weirdly stuck.. Also last night I had a dream with flowers that looked like the ones at the start of the video, I thought that was funny 🌷✨
it’s a sign ✨
@@lavendaire yes 🥰
Thanks a lot Aileen I really needed to hear this, love you so much❤️❤️❤️
So many thanks. I was able to find Lavendaire.
