Much love and joy and RESTFUL HEALING to you! 💛🌺☺️🤗 And yeeeeeeeeeees!!! To ALL of this! We definitely need to take in all thr Creator has given us. There is so much beauty we miss out on by busting ourselves. It's so sad. Thank you so much.
@@marquittabell4983 your babies need you 🔴 stop!!! Save yourself. Stop and heal learn to be satisfied with what you have. Your tired. You are needed here. Do the work to heal. Listen to this until you really get the message
Your comments about staying up late really resonated with me. I remember when I was in law school, people used to stay up ALL NIGHT. I couldn't do it. I studied on a strict schedule, but I went to bed when my body was tired. Later, I found out a lot of people were taking meds to help them stay up. These bad habits affect lawyers for a lifetime. There is a high rate of divorce, suicide, alcoholism, addiction, and depression in the legal profession.
I worked like a dog for 20 plus years. I agree with everything you said. At one time I went 15 years with one xmas off, and put my health at risk. Now I take care of people who have worked themselves into the ground. There but the grace of God. No more killing myself for a job.
Im so tired its exhausting, mentally, physically, burnt out and just in need of rest Thank you for this video, its confirmation that im not lazy im just exhausted
Yep, I hate my life. Work, eat, sleep repeat. Groceries, wash clothes on the weekend and get ready for the work week. Throw in a couple fun things on the weekend and that's life. By the time I get off work, I've already been up 12+ hours. Too tired and/or achy to do anything. Thinking of what else I can do to support myself...
For a while now, I thought something was wrong with me. It's good to know that other people feel and think the same things that I've been feeling for over a couple of years now. Now, I know that I am not crazy or lazy. I am just tired, mentally, physically, and of this system.
Opting out is such a great way of putting it. Since I've "opted out", I've quit cigarettes, lost 35 Lbs, spent way more time with my grandmother and mother than I have since I joined the workforce. I've had a chance to build a better bond with my dog, and I've had a chance to really ask myself what I want out of this life. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and art! 🤙🏾
I love ALL OF THIS!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! 💛☺️🌺 All of this feels so wholesome, peaceful and beautiful. This is really inspiring even to me. Thank you so much. Your input and support is so appreciated!
I resigned from my job…I’m working to the end of my contract (June 16) only because I get a lump sum payout. I will use that to pay bills while I rest. I’m tired.
I'm disabled and in the process of decluttering now bc I'm done with this shit. I'm 35 and I've worked since I was 14 and I'm out. I've never even been on vacation except one cruise and that was a splurge and I barely recovered. I'm learning so much about myself. Thank you so much for this video. New sub. I'm slowly selling all my shit and I'm out of the rat race.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Your story and perspective are so important. Welcome! I'm happy you're here! Also side note, I LOVE your name. 💛💛💛
WOW! The timing of this video is totally God sent!! I am tired & I do feel ashamed for saying so!!! This is such a strong thought & I pray God will allow me to allow myself to process this and move forward accordingly!
I am SO glad that this video was timely for you! ☺️💛 That really makes my heart so HAPPY! And I am praying the same thing for you! Much love and joy to you!!! 🤗🌺💓
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I'm so happy it's resonating with you!!! Thank you so much for sharing that it's an issue in retirement too! That's so interesting! I'd love to hear more about it! 😊💛 Much love and joy to you!
When I moved to America I was told that AA were lazy so was excited to have 3 jobs when my friend from NYC came to visit she couldn't recognize me I looked tired stressed and exhausted. Finally the light came on and I went from 60 hours per week to 20 hours per week. And I have never look backed. I work smart not hard. I am able to spend time with my kids.... and just time to rest.
This resonated with me 100 percent. What I don't say, you said it. I just started telling myself it's okay not to be okay. Society never asks are you okay or tells you to take a break. Everything is get more, get more, secure your future. It's like, listen I'm tired burnt out, and just need to reset. And society takes it as if I'm being lazy or a failure.
Ase I have been working since fourteen. I am tired. My new wealth is health. Definitely coming around the mountain upon the fifty-nine half mark to lighten the load of the poop show that is now upon the country and its fookery. Namaste
Also, work/life balance is REAL!! We have 24 hours and we’re expected to USE ALL 24 of them for someone else’s productivity. As a mom, I need time for myself after ALLLLL of the things I’m “expected” to do. I felt this message so hard I had to comment twice 😂
Hi friends! No shame. You are not lazy. You're tired. Love your body. spirit and soul. Rest. You can get this version of the song and others here: 🌈 Download this Song for Free Here: www.aleciarenece.me/feelgoodmusic much love and joy to you!
Love this. Feel like I opted out since I was born lmao. family called me “the lazy queen” from the time I was little 🤣 I still just hear the Queen part
El. Oh. Ellll! Yeeeeeeeeeees, Queen!!! 👑 I know that's right! "Queen" would be thr only thing I would hear too! 💛🌺☺️ Own that title. Rest in your Queendom. 🌻 Thank you so much for sharing! This was everything! Much love and joy to you!
You are spot on..REST is Biblical....if you think about it...Our creator, the 'MOST HIGH' was the first to implement a day of rest (Sabbath)....God created us to 'Live' not just 'Survive'.....so Yes, let us 'Take our Rest', it's our divine right! ❤️
Awwwwwwwwww! Thank you, GORGEOUS! You are so kind and generous! 💛☺️🥺 Singing is one of my FAVORITE things to do. And Having my music touch y'all is such a blessing! I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Much love and joy to you 💛☺️🌺
As a 53 yr old woman I've had enough of hustling now. Im a self employed hairdresser and I'm working differently now. I'm doing a whole life reset. It feels great to have a leisurely breakfast and to work from 10am -5pm. I no longer work long hours or on holidays. I spend time instead with my husband. We actually do things together like exercising, trying recipies, going to the movies, the beach etc. We are empty nesters and it feels great to actually have our time to do what we want. I particularly DO NOT feel guilty for taking a day off. I used to when i was younger. I feel this is the best stage of my life and i will no longer give all of my time and energy to glorify being seen as a workaholic!
I am just who you've described in this video. I'm guilty and not even wanting to take a nap. Thank you for releasing me from the guilt and shame for feeling guilty for taking a rest.
I completely understand that. *BIG HUGS* Yeah, the answer to exhaustion is not to do more. It's to re-prioritize and do things in a way that honors you!
Yeeeeeeeeeees!!! 🌺☺️🌻 The Nap Ministry is EVERYTHING! Her work is so life changing!!! I'm so glad I found her. We are DEFINITELY undoing this programming. It is a work, but it is worth it! Thank you so much for hearing my heart! Much love and joy to you! 💛💛💛
You have said so much that makes sense. I've always known this wasn't right, but you have confirmed. My house flooded in 2016, lost everything. Same house caught fire in 2021. I was living on GO since 2016 because whenever it rained, the anxiety would shoot through the roof. I was sad, moody, exhausted, mentally, emotionally and physically drained. On top of that I had a young child and an active teenager. I worked full time and served as a chauffeur for my kids and aging mother. The fire almost took me out. Still looking for items that I thought were saved, but were apparently lost and/or discarded. After the fire, I went to therapy. The therapist said, it seems like you want me to give you permission to rest. After thinking about it, that's exactly what I wanted. Yes, the fire was bad, but others had it worst. Should I complain? She said, take time off, drop your daughter off at school, go home and do nothing... It's ok. Isn't that sad? I literally needed permission to rest.
I opted out for these exact reasons. I've learned to listen to my body. It has made a world difference in my health and my relationship with my daughter and mother.
I just discovered your youtube channel and you are AWESOME!!! I am 59 yrs. old and you are articulating so many sentiments, thoughts and feelings I have experienced my entire life but did not have the 'freedom' to speak or admit. And only now am I beginning to learn to set boundaries and discover what is truly right for me and my life. Thank you so very much, Alecia for creating this channel and sharing your content. Peace and Light to you and all here
Beautiful beautiful beautiful!! Today I choose to rest. I've actually been in a "season" of rest since the beginning of this year. I got Covid in the beginning of January then had neck surgery at the end of January, and you know this is the first time in my life where I truly haven't worked or done anything in my whole entire life. And you know what?? It's been one of the biggest blessings of my life. I actually am being still and learning to hear just what it is that I really want in my life What I want to do and where I want direction I want to be next. Beautiful sister you hit the nail right on the head in speaking we're not lazy we're just tired. So today I choose to rest and so should you. Blessings 🙌 ❤🙏
Absolutely fabulous content and one of the warmest smiles and energy ever on TH-cam thank you for including us in your journey in search of a new way. We all are coming to the same place in our lives.
Thank you so much for this!!! Even though I follow Buddhist philosophy, I truly love your videos and what you're expressing is what's encouraged in Zen Buddhism, and that is to live in the present moment and embrace a quiet mind. Sometimes, people work endlessly and obsess with "hustle and grind" to escape their inner thoughts because often they don't have inner peace. I love to see other Black women confront "hustle culture" because there seems to be this unspoken rule in our culture, especially Black culture, that if you aren't tired and stressed TF out then you're not working hard. Why does my work ethic have to be measured by the amount of torture I endure for a paycheck?! 😫😓
Your energy is just as euphoric as your music! You have no idea how your videos/channel have warmed my spirit and really made me feel less alone in my journey. I have so much gratitude in having access to your influence. Your content is therapeutic!!! Thank you ✨
Omg yessss AL of this! 👏🏾 👏🏾 you literally read my flipping MIND! 😯😵💫🤯 HARD WORK DOES NOT ALWAYS EQUAL SUCCESS. and also vice versa. I personally feel like I am smarter than most (not all) of my previous supervisors. Thank you for talking about it!
I'm so glad this resonated with you! 🤗🌺💛 And yes!!! Hard work does not equal success at all. Thank you for sharing and thank you for listening and hearing my heart! 🥰☺️
Thank you so much for making this video! I have been laid off for the first time in my life and it the first time I just laid around and did nothing but reflect and heal from some of life's experiences and I am grateful! Your message resonates with me.❤
Awwww! Yaaaaaaay! I'm so happy this encourages you! Listen to it as many times as you need to. I need to be reminded of the same thing. 💛🤗 It really does make my heart happy to know that you are getting what you need! Much love and joy to you! 😊
So much of the truth you speak are ideas that I've had repeatedly invalidated by many others... Now you're not just reminding me it's okay to know and self-assure the validity of my own wisdom, but you're expanding on it wonderfully with your own truth. Thank you. ❤
Just some advice slow down use pauses, and stops ,thank you for your wonderful insights you are a diamond, and your soul makes me happy I like being around you. Your are a friend I need, Peace in jesus!!!!!
I do talk really fast when I'm excited. LOL! I apologize. I'll definitely try to slow down next time. Thank you so much for your kindness. Much love and joy to you!
I love your channel! I learned this appreciating my body when I was diagnosed with a tumor in 2019 that ended up in 2020 the stranger aka (cancer). I felt ashamed and embarrassment. Here I was a Wellness Lifestyle Coach. Helping others with their health. I had to stop coaching others to coach myself. That was my wake up call that needed to immediately start working on healing myself emotionally long with building up my immune system by doing non invasive treatment that was non toxic. I did not know that my emotional health was literally dying. I torture myself for 48 years by suppressing my emotions. I take full responsibility for making myself sick by not taking care of myself emotionally. I learned that we are all humans with this beautiful energy that is inside each and one of us . Do you know why some of us black people have trouble with intestinal conditions? We haven't let go of the past of any hurt, trauma, guilt, shame, disappointment, release that emotional pain out of our body and forgive ourself. I speak from experience and help many of my clients with that same experience. It is time to let go of the past family! I learned this the hard way it cost me my health. Now I love me unconditionally and I know I have value. I look at life differently. My health is Non- Negotiable! I have a peace of mind by remaining calm by trusting with the Grand Creator GOD JEHOVA'. Thank you for your beautiful music and your service.🥰
I love this SO muuuch! And I may need to seek your services. I have IBS and it's definitely triggered by my emotions. And I completely resonate with that shame. Feeling like "here I am helping others, and my stuff isn't 100%" Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I'm sending you much love and joy and healing!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I am so glad this resonated with you! Yes! I do do coaching for creative Black women. But I would LOVE to chat! Feel free to email me at hello@aleciarenece.com 💛🤗
The song at the end! 🤗💕💕💕💕 thank you for this, and the work you are doing sharing these messages. I’m never someone who shares videos with friends lol but I sent your video to all my friends and ppl I care about and got such good feedback! It opened discussion about so much burnout and being more forgiving with ourselves!
I have a medical condition, because I kept grinding to get ahead. To all the people out there, please slow down take your time and enjoy life. We are not a lazy people, we are brilliant and full of love, look around and take in what the creator has given us. Thank you for this video

Some people have the capacity to physically or mentally work hard. They were born with this energy. Like you, I’m not one of those people.
Yep, I hate my life. Work, eat, sleep repeat. Groceries, wash clothes on the weekend and get ready for the work week. Throw in a couple fun things on the weekend and that's life. By the time I get off work, I've already been up 12+ hours. Too tired and/or achy to do anything.

Most of us work to pay bills. I am exhausted but if I knew of a way to pay bills without having to work, I would have done it a long time ago.
Same here!!!
Think of your biggest bill and opt out of it, by finding another way to pay for it or pay it off.
You are spot on..REST is Biblical....if you think about it...Our creator, the 'MOST HIGH' was the first to implement a day of rest (Sabbath)....God created us to 'Live' not just 'Survive'.....so Yes, let us 'Take our Rest', it's our divine right! ❤️
Exactly!
I’m opting out by choosing not to have children.
💛💛💛 ABSOLUTELY. I'm definitely here for folks to make the best decision for themselves ☺️🤗
Me too!! ❤️ …. by choosing to not have any more 😂
100 Agree! I assure you people will challenge your decision, but stick to it! You know you better than anyone else! #challengingthenorm

Great idea for self preservation.

I am just who you've described in this video. I'm guilty and not even wanting to take a nap. Thank you for releasing me from the guilt and shame for feeling guilty for taking a rest.
Same here. Did you take that nap? ❤
The white people are also tired and I agree 100% with everything you said. I wish this awful situation can be changed somehow.
I was crying the whole time. I'm so exhausted. Thank you.
Bravo! Thank you for speaking life into us... All truth!

Thank you! I’m so burnt out between parenthood and working
You have said so much that makes sense. I've always known this wasn't right, but you have confirmed. My house flooded in 2016, lost everything. Same house caught fire in 2021.

Glad I found this channel because I is tired
I remember having a boyfriend that broke up with me saying if he stay with me we will be poor and I'm too content.
I agree. I recently quit my job so I can focused on myself and my business. I feel liberated. I am taking a month off
I LOOOOOVE this so much!!!
Speak on it, sis. Speak on ALL of it!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful!! Today I choose to rest. I've actually been in a "season" of rest since the beginning of this year.

So much of the truth you speak are ideas that I've had repeatedly invalidated by many others... Now you're not just reminding me it's okay to know and self-assure the validity of my own wisdom, but you're expanding on it wonderfully with your own truth.
Thank you. ❤

Truth!🙌🏾
Yeeeeeeeeeees! I'm trying to Tuck the truth deep into my heart so it'll permeate throughout my entire life. 😊💛
So glad I found your channel on here recently. It has truly been a blessing. :)
I love your channel! I learned this appreciating my body when I was diagnosed with a tumor in 2019 that ended up in 2020 the stranger aka (cancer). I felt ashamed and embarrassment. Here I was a Wellness Lifestyle Coach. Helping others with their health. I had to stop coaching others to coach myself. That was my wake up call that needed to immediately start working on healing myself emotionally long with building up my immune system by doing non invasive treatment that was non toxic. I did not know that my emotional health was literally dying. I torture myself for 48 years by suppressing my emotions. I take full responsibility for making myself sick by not taking care of myself emotionally.
I learned that we are all humans with this beautiful energy that is inside each and one of us .
Do you know why some of us black people have trouble with intestinal conditions?
We haven't let go of the past of any hurt, trauma, guilt, shame, disappointment, release that emotional pain out of our body and forgive ourself. I speak from experience and help many of my clients with that same experience. It is time to let go of the past family! I learned this the hard way it cost me my health.
Now I love me unconditionally and I know I have value. I look at life differently. My health is Non- Negotiable! I have a peace of mind by remaining calm by trusting with the Grand Creator GOD JEHOVA'.
Thank you for your beautiful music and your service.🥰
I love this SO muuuch! And I may need to seek your services. I have IBS and it's definitely triggered by my emotions. And I completely resonate with that shame. Feeling like "here I am helping others, and my stuff isn't 100%" Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I'm sending you much love and joy and healing!

Doing the lord's work 🙏
Lord knows I’m tired.
Whewwww a WORD
💛💛💛
And I have to take a nap everyday 💅🏿
Yeeeeees!
Wow
And this shame is MULTIPLIED if you got children. They're so quick to say, "Nobody told you to lay down and have kids," blah blah blah. Ugh!
Exactly! It's absolutely ridiculous. We have to give ourselves permission to rest. The world will never give it and they keep moving the goal post.
Resonated ... every word!
🙏
💛💛💛
