Being a young witch in high school it is really hard to protect my energy, especially when everyone is so loud, and there is so much stress about tests, I notice myself getting headaches more often when I come home from school. And right now I am sick so I am staying home today and I think I one of the reasons I got sick was just from stress and not protecting my energy, so thank you for these lovely videos! I am a huge fan of your channel. ❤🧙🏻♀️
I feel you ❤️ high school is unnecessarily stressful - especially considering how much artificial pressure is put on everyone with useless tests and subjects 😅 I hope you find good ways to protect your energy there 🌻
Your video toward the end reminded me of some very good advice from Lori Bruno - she said to always shower/bathe at night before going to bed, so all the day's energy and ick gets washed down the drain and doesn't carry overnight and into the next morning. I started doing that a couple months ago, and it really does feel a lot better 🤗
Also ask the water *water holds energy * to take from you anything that stuck to you from the day and then take a cup of that side water and pour into Mother Earth and ask her to transmute it! Watch it all go down the drain!!
Organization tip. The shelving used for toys in here is what we use for our laundry room. Once our kids no longer needed it for toys we put it in there and that’s what we use for socks and underwear sorting. The socks come out of the dryer and get tossed directly into a different bucket for each person (same with undies). We are a family of 6 so it works well. Just thought I’d share. It takes up less space than laundry baskets and when each little bud key is full each person takes it themselves to go put away.
One of my love languages is “act of service”, which fills my energy. But my wife has become an energy vampire. I love her, but sometimes I send my whole day doing chores for her. Then I feel guilty doing something for myself. Life is complicated. I am the youngest of four. Growing up, I loved being the “helper”. When one of my parents needed help, I was there. Then my siblings would find something fun to do and I was stuck helping mom or dad. My parents seeing this would tell me to go play then I would feel guilty if I went. This habit continued my whole life. Every choice I make I second guess it. Every project I only finish 90% of it. Even when I was looking for a wife. I wanted someone that needed me, but not too much. It might be too late for me, but I can see I might have done better when listening to your videos. Thanks
My main one is acts of service too - it can indeed be a tricky one when you don't have strong boundaries with yourself (and others). What we learn when we are young really shapes our thoughts, feelings and behaviours for later life - but we can definitely rewire! It just takes a ton of effort, reflection, shadow work and practice ❤️ Maybe you could try and start small by doing a weekly thing (for an hour or so) that only involves yourself and brings you joy without necessarily being 'useful' to anyone else. As for your wife, open communication (basically exactly what you just wrote here) might be super helpful 🤗 also, if you really want to tackle this issue, the awaken your inner god(dess) workshop might help you take better care of yourself and unlearn the guilt feeling - I will offer a new course in July or September.
@@Thewitchescookery Thank you for you comment. I did not mean to sound overly dramatic, and I certainly don't want to suck energy from you all. I am starting to do things for myself. I started my own You-tube channel, and I have lots of hobbies. But I still there are time when people (mostly family) that ask for my help, and I just want to rest or go do something on my own. I was just trying to say it is a balancing act. One that I am working hard to get better at. Before, I started watching your channel I was much, much worse off. I think I would have a great time at your workshop. Being around like minded people. I just dont know if I can make it happen. I'll have to get back to you on that one.
Thank you for this. You're so right: social media is (often) such an energy vampire. It prevents connection, and no body ever sees the other person's point of view. Thank you so much for this, I needed it today.
Wow, I have been doing some serious speel crafting and was finally spell casting over a few days. Yesterday I woke up with vertigo and a headache. Once I went outside, barefoot, and walked around, I felt so much better. Sometimes, I forget to reground my self and pull my energy back in.
I have been exhausted lately just with my life being in such a strange place but it’s really helpful to have a reminder that there are some things that I do have control over that I can change to keep my energy.
Thank you so much for posting these sorts of videos! I haven't known where I've stood with Witchcraft for a long time. Half of my family practices, tied to no specific religion or culture, and the other half is strictly religious and against it. I have always been drawn to Witchcraft and reconnecting with nature in general. I've been scared of who I am for so long, and I'm done feeling that way. Thanks to my lovely girlfriend and my recent coming out to my friends as LGBTQ+, I've finally given myself the chance to pick up Withcraft like I've always wanted to. It's been - well, confusing would put it lightly, but fun. Your channel has been one of the biggest factors in the beginning of my journey. You explain things very well, take your time, and have a very comforting/motherly energy. Thank you, truly, for everything you do.
I love love love! This is so important! It’s crazy how much the clutter - whether physical clutter, mental clutter (too many to do items, ideas, and concerns I have buzzing around), or emotional clutter (unprocessed emotions) - drains my energy so much faster! Journaling forever! You captured my visualization PERFECTLY! 💕💕 I’m glad it was helpful for you as it has been so incredibly powerful for me!
Thanks again for this powerful image! I love how people refer to it as 'Rachel's cauldron' in the comments haha - that would be the perfect name for a witchy pub xD
I am the constant helper of people and this Is me...drained! I just hate to see anyone suffer. But then I suffer. Thank you for this! You are delightful !
If you would like to explore more about improving mental health with witchcraft, you might also enjoy my 'Magick on your mind' workshop, starting End of March: the-witches-path.com/book-now/magick-on-your-mind/
Yay! Glad to see you, Bex! Missed seeing your videos, and very happy you're back! This video is so incredibly well timed... I may need to rewatch it 2-3 more times and take notes... This is a constant struggle I have in life, especially working with people who struggle with mental health challenges for a living, all while dealing with my own struggles. Definitely going to need to take some time and really study my "dashboard" and learn how to read my personal fuel tank and what drains it faster than fills it now!
Working in a profession where you are forced to interact with other people's energy is especially draining and you need extra boosts of self-care ❤️ it's no joke - definitely part of why I didn't chose becoming a counselor after Uni. Sending you lots of good energy ☺️
Good to see your face dear one! I worked at a retail pharmacy for 17.5 years. When I stopped working, retired due to disability, it took me 8 months to feel better. It wasn’t the customers, it was the staff. They were an energy sucking bunch. Six months after I was out of there, I stopped by for a visit. The one girl was so toxic, I had a migraine for a week. That was July 2017, haven’t been back since. I’m more protective of my energy now since my empathic nature seems to attract narcissists 🙄🙈
So glad you are out of there now - a toxic environment and people can really do a ton of harm to us - oftentimes we don't even realise it in the moment
Tyvm for this gentle and humorous reminder. I learned these things (the hard way) years ago and had been doing them since, but at some point over the last year I had stopped without realizing it. I'm going to upset a lot of people when I make room for taking up these practices again, but I can't take their upset on as my problem anymore. Tyvm again for this. ❤
You were missed. Glad you were taking care of yourself. I feel like this video was made just for me. So timely. I am a teacher and constantly giving of myself. With family, feel like I am constantly feeling like I am having to give of myself. This week I said no. Trying not to feel guilty.... Thank you for uploading this.
I did an energy and will spell to protect my energy. If I recite it it usually works. I also quit social media I do tumblr. Also if I tell people I'm an agnostic non religious secular witch I get judged or mocked. So I am wanting to keep it a secret from others because I am an agnostic secular witch too. I just love your videos they are so cozy and comfortable you make me feel as if I am not alone.
I don't know how I found your channel, but I am so grateful that the Universe brought me to you! I have been practicing for a while (25+ years! 😨), but your gift for filming information like a friendly fireside chat helps to remind me and gently help me find my way home. Also, you're adorable!
Brilliant and just what I needed 🙏 Sometimes we need someone to remind us of the things we know are good for us and remind us to look after ourselves too. Glad you’re back and thank you ❤
You are such a delight to watch and my energy always feels happy and light after watching your videos. I love the visualization of your inner cauldron. I’m big on imagery and that idea really resonates with me!
This video came at the right time for me. Things have been very stressful at work. This video has helped me a lot to remember I need to take care of me.
This video could not be more timely! It's amazing how being broke can really effect your energy. It feels a bit like an eternal purgatory. Can't go anywhere (like the ocean, which is my biggest mental cleanser) because gas is rediculous. Can't do anything, cant create anything because it all costs money. That's the biggest energy sucker I have had problems breaking free from for years. And now I'm a SAHM and feel bad doing any self love rituals because I dont bring in any dough. Ugh! As always your videos motivate me to get out of my head and make it better! Thank you!
That is a big one!! I used to be there in my early twenties and it is the worst 🥴 once you pull yourself out there and see the options you do have to better your situation life gets infinitely more enjoyable (and stressful 😅). And you absolutely do deserve to treat yourself - your job is being a mom and that is suuuuper hard. Even though nobody is paying you directly, your partner's money is just as much yours if you are keeping the humans at home alive and sacrifice a potential career for that ❤️
@@Thewitchescookery Thanks :) Love all the support I always get from this channel. I'm making a smokeless energy cleanser in my mini cauldron tonight and starting fresh.
Bex, you and your inner child always make me smile and laugh. You have a wonderful way of looking at life. 🥰 I have 'procrastinated' watching this video, because I knew I needed it. 😂 Yes, I am guilty of all of the above - except the M. Manson thing of course 😆- I am always feeling like I need to fix everything and inevitably end up taking on way more energy than I should, most of which is not good for me and which leads to overload/burnout. I love Rachel's concept with the cauldron. Thank you Rachel, for the inspiration. It's time for me to refocus, weed out my mental garden, and regain the energy I've been lacking in recent months. Thank you for the uplift Bex, and for bringing me back to reality. Protecting our energy is essential, as it helps us to stay healthy. With everything going on in our world, it's quite easy to lose sight of that. Take care and much love to you and your beautiful family. ❤ 🌱
Welcome back 🥰 Beautiful advice, I really needed it. I am an empath who really feels the energy of those around me, that mixed with the people pleaser inside of me can be very draining.
Im only in the first few months of my craft so far. But I love you and your channel. I love that you just be yourself, talk freely, don't really censor yourself to seem more relatable. You're relatable because you're being yourself, which is awesome.
Thank you so much for posting this I was talking with a family member last night and they called me just to judge me so badly on something I already felt bad about. She really drained me so much that I had to journal, read and do meditation 🧘🏾♀️ and I still feel some type of way, so hearing you say that we can not change how other people feel about you or how other people think has helped me a lot. Soon I will be joining your workshops and future retreats and I hope to find like minded people like me so that we can become family and help fill each other cups ♥️ Thank you for being you! I need help learning how to set boundaries and what that looks like, if you could do a video on that (if you haven’t already) I would really appreciate it. 🥹
Omg girl I just saw this! I don't know how to operate TH-cam well apparently. I'm star struck 😍 thank you for replying! I think you're absolutely amazing ❤️
I so needed this video. I have been in a funk the past month especially. Due to several reasons and feel like I have no energy in all aspects. And I try to always have positive energy, and lately, everything is draining my energy. Thank you so much for this video! Blessed Be!
Great advise. This is an area I need a lot of work on all areas. I am married to an energy sucker and finally am being able to protect myself from his negativity.
@@Thewitchescookery my first sigil was I am free. You have opened so much for me that again my life is beautiful. By the way, there is a wee package headed your way.
Very cool video! It's exactly the information I've been needing lately--protecting one's energy, psychic self-defense, and taking a break from engaging with trolls on Twitter! Ugh...anyway, this is just what I've needed, and I much appreciate your work in all your videos. Bright blessings from Seattle USA! :)
I love to listen to you. You have a soothing voice and delightful accent. Your expertise and advice imuch appreciated also. Thank you for helping your listeners to enjoy the life instead of surviving it.
So glad to see you back! This topic is very well timed for me….been feeling just blah lately and started to force myself to declutter my home, and avoid negative people at work
I have been searching for a witchy mentor like you for years! Thank you so much for making these videos! I feel like I discovered your videos right when my energy is cleared enough to hear and understand your advice.
Welcome back, I’m loving all your videos. This topic is perfectly timed, loved the reinforcement of not engaging with trolls-it’s annoying but I’m letting it roll on past me- I might say out loud (but not written), “sorry your life is so bad you feel the need to spread this cra*”…. If they’re really bad I just say, “sucks to be you”. But that lets me take the high road and not give them my time or thought. It also makes me smile, tbh! And I’m happy to say, I never got on Twitter or TikTok 🤣
Oh my goodness! Its headaches after a practice or deep meditation. I should really focus on mentally shielding my energy for good amounts of time throughout the day before and after practices. I am an empath too so around in public, covering my head with a band or mantle helps me mentally envision protecting my energy from sucking up unwanted energy.
Have seen video ...a lot of times... and it is always fitting, always gives me such good advice..and I can still learn or understand ...from it. It s always a very very good reminder in my daily "kopflosen oder kopfvollen Gewusel" ... . So much truth in it . Many things we know and often forget oder not completely able to see (own head fog) on myself. 😊 thank you. For this
Hi..my name is Secrete...I live in Michigan... You enabled me to have peace with you I am. I probably will never get to see you In real life. Or text or talk to you for real. But I'm very happy I know you from My heart Blessings and love to you and your family. ❤
Thanks Bex! I'm really struggling with this right now, actually for the last 2+ years. We moved into a much smaller house and I thought I got rid of enough stuff beforehand, but I wasn't even close. I don't have problems getting rid of sentimental things at all, I just don't have the energy to get started. My husband is just as depleted! I've been so overwhelmed that I've gotten behind on other things now too. I'm hoping to use Ostara(today!) as a springboard for change. Thanks for the lovely tips, as always!
Your video. You made me laugh tonight. I watched. I might be dying. I've been crying. Often. I enjoyed my laughing. Thank-you witch. 🤣 Avril B Well-being and Fitness, Journeys. Formerly, The Bellis Fairies, Avril and pets, fur babies.
Very glad that your feeling better, totally get back issues keeping fuel in the tank is something we all need to be reminded of ... thank you for a perfectly timed video
Love this video. Loving that we featured in it also :) :) Totally agree with limiting looking at the news etc. I have been doing that and it really does help, and you would hope that your family/friends would tell you something important, like if an asteroid was coming :) xxxxx
I needed this video. Strange perfect timing. I was just thinking I haven’t seen your face in awhile and boom you appear with the exact thing I needed to hear. 💜 I will watch this a couple times to drill it in. Thanks for the pick me up 😊
Oh Bex you made my morning 🌄 💕 This is so validating & some great advice. Being an empath protecting energy is a must. Can't wait to air out the house but it's wee bit chilly right now minus 25 lol. Thank you sending many blessings 💜
I think you should add mind-reading to your repertoire because this video couldn’t have been more perfectly timed. I received feedback on some pretty major work, and while the outcome is mostly positive, one person was unnecessarily mean in their comments. So this video was just what I needed
I soo love your energy, thank you!! I feel at home here in Germany , literally just a walk in nature and creatures magically appear 🥰 i love it here :)) Thank you for this wonderful video, it really energized me 😊🌸
You look exceptionally beautiful Bex so I would say that the self care time was effective. This video comes at such an important time as I have been very drained. Thank you so much for all this wonderful advice that i will incorporate into my life. I too have a strong act of service mentality and you opened my eyes to changes that i need to make.
I hope you find ways to reclaim power over your energy and are able to establish strong boundaries ❤️ or, if that doesn't help, try eating a looooot of garlic before you see them 😂
Hello! I've been a quiet follower, but I just wanted to say I'm happy you're back! I love to watch your videos🩷 You always make me laugh (literally laughed out loud when you made that comment about his ribs)
Welcome back! You are so adorable! I'm happy that you've been able to take some time to recharge your batteries! 🐇 Thank you for the tips on how to protect one's energy. This is something I struggle with, I'm happy to have some tips on how to be more in control of my energy. Cheers!
Great to see you.lovely video!would love some more details on dealing with the inner saboteur and why we tend to attract troubled negative people who dump on us yet don't support back.Its exhausting.Try as I do keeps happening despite gratitude and deep connection to Beloved Mother EARTH. Thanks BECKS.
@@morganniciomhair8284 I might be able to make this into a video :) but the main message probably comes down to 'setting boundaries' - with others and with yourself
Thank you for all the wonderful information, it was needed! As usual your sense of humor made me laugh out loud. Plus wanted to tell you that you look so pretty and healthy!

Your example of an energy vampire is literally my sisters! I just yelled HOLY SH*T at the screen!

@@Thewitchescookery Thanks :) Love all the support I always get from this channel. I'm making a smokeless energy cleanser in my mini cauldron tonight and starting fresh.
Thank you for reminding me of being self aware & alert about things that may be draining my energy. Love, Love, Love ❤❤❤
Bex, you and your inner child always make me smile and laugh. You have a wonderful way of looking at life. 🥰 I have 'procrastinated' watching this video, because I knew I needed it. 😂 Yes, I am guilty of all of the above - except the M. Manson thing of course 😆- I am always feeling like I need to fix everything and inevitably end up taking on way more energy than I should, most of which is not good for me and which leads to overload/burnout. I love Rachel's concept with the cauldron. Thank you Rachel, for the inspiration. It's time for me to refocus, weed out my mental garden, and regain the energy I've been lacking in recent months. Thank you for the uplift Bex, and for bringing me back to reality. Protecting our energy is essential, as it helps us to stay healthy. With everything going on in our world, it's quite easy to lose sight of that. Take care and much love to you and your beautiful family. ❤ 🌱
You are wise well beyond your years, thank you so very much.
Welcome back 🥰 Beautiful advice, I really needed it. I am an empath who really feels the energy of those around me, that mixed with the people pleaser inside of me can be very draining.
I really hope your back is feeling better ♡
Im only in the first few months of my craft so far.
But I love you and your channel. I love that you just be yourself, talk freely, don't really censor yourself to seem more relatable.
You're relatable because you're being yourself, which is awesome.
Thank you so much for posting this I was talking with a family member last night and they called me just to judge me so badly on something I already felt bad about. She really drained me so much that I had to journal, read and do meditation 🧘🏾♀️ and I still feel some type of way, so hearing you say that we can not change how other people feel about you or how other people think has helped me a lot. Soon I will be joining your workshops and future retreats and I hope to find like minded people like me so that we can become family and help fill each other cups ♥️ Thank you for being you!
I need help learning how to set boundaries and what that looks like, if you could do a video on that (if you haven’t already) I would really appreciate it. 🥹
oh i hope so much that you feel less drained very soon🥺🫂 i know judgment is hard. 💙🪴
@@anonivan thank you so much Indie! I’m doing much better now 😇♥️
You have no idea how much you're helping my transition. I love your videos because of your personality the information is a bonus
Awwww I am so happy to hear ❤️🤗
Omg girl I just saw this! I don't know how to operate TH-cam well apparently. I'm star struck 😍 thank you for replying! I think you're absolutely amazing ❤️
Your tick impression sent me to the moon. XD
I so needed this video. I have been in a funk the past month especially. Due to several reasons and feel like I have no energy in all aspects. And I try to always have positive energy, and lately, everything is draining my energy. Thank you so much for this video! Blessed Be!
Glad you're feeling better. Thank you for this video. Didn't realize how much I needed it to validate my feelings and such.
I miss watching you. It always makes me smile. Your such an inspiration. Thank you
I love your sass and lack of filter when you describe things 😁💜💚
Great advise. This is an area I need a lot of work on all areas. I am married to an energy sucker and finally am being able to protect myself from his negativity.
That must be quite challenging! Take good care of yourself and your boundaries. And open communication is key ❤️
@@Thewitchescookery The challenge is to much now. He is a covert narcissist and getting worse. Like you said, I am letting him go and it feels good.
@@nannygranny9534 that's a very wise decision ❤️ be free and happy!!
@@Thewitchescookery my first sigil was I am free. You have opened so much for me that again my life is beautiful. By the way, there is a wee package headed your way.
@@nannygranny9534 ❤️🌻🤗 I am so happy to hear! And that is so so sweet of you!!!
Very cool video! It's exactly the information I've been needing lately--protecting one's energy, psychic self-defense, and taking a break from engaging with trolls on Twitter! Ugh...anyway, this is just what I've needed, and I much appreciate your work in all your videos. Bright blessings from Seattle USA! :)
This could not have come at a more perfect moment!
🤗❤️
I love to listen to you. You have a soothing
voice and delightful accent. Your expertise and advice imuch appreciated also. Thank you for helping your listeners to enjoy the life instead of surviving it.
Awwww thanks so much - that is a very lovely comment 🤗
So glad to see you back!
This topic is very well timed for me….been feeling just blah lately and started to force myself to declutter my home, and avoid negative people at work
Wonderful that you are already working on protection your energy 💪💪✨
I have been searching for a witchy mentor like you for years! Thank you so much for making these videos! I feel like I discovered your videos right when my energy is cleared enough to hear and understand your advice.
I completely missed this video, and while clearing out my notifs on youtube, found it! Very very needed right now. Thank you for sharing!!!❤❤❤
I loved how your deck totally matches the vibe you give off. And also thank you for the "comparison is the thief of joy"
Good to see you again! Hope you continue to heal and strengthen 💜
Thank you ❤️
I can’t tell you how much I needed this video! Thank you, Bex, for these great magical tips. Love from Michigan, USA
Welcome back, I’m loving all your videos. This topic is perfectly timed, loved the reinforcement of not engaging with trolls-it’s annoying but I’m letting it roll on past me- I might say out loud (but not written), “sorry your life is so bad you feel the need to spread this cra*”…. If they’re really bad I just say, “sucks to be you”.
But that lets me take the high road and not give them my time or thought. It also makes me smile, tbh! And I’m happy to say, I never got on Twitter or TikTok 🤣
Oh my goodness! Its headaches after a practice or deep meditation. I should really focus on mentally shielding my energy for good amounts of time throughout the day before and after practices. I am an empath too so around in public, covering my head with a band or mantle helps me mentally envision protecting my energy from sucking up unwanted energy.
Have seen video ...a lot of times... and it is always fitting, always gives me such good advice..and I can still learn or understand ...from it. It s always a very very good reminder in my daily "kopflosen oder kopfvollen Gewusel" ... . So much truth in it . Many things we know and often forget oder not completely able to see (own head fog) on myself. 😊 thank you. For this
So very glad to see you back! The video really made me stop to think about all the energy suckers in ,my life! Thanks for all the tips.
Hi..my name is Secrete...I live in Michigan...
You enabled me to have peace with you I am.
I probably will never get to see you
In real life.
Or text or talk to you for real.
But I'm very happy I know you from
My heart
Blessings and love to you and your family. ❤
Absolutely fantastic video! Also, your sense of humor never fails to make me chuckle.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I needed this so much! I've felt like I'm just going through the motions of life lately. Time for some me time!
Yesssss 💪💪💪 take the time!!
Yes- I feel those things, especially lately!
🤗❤️ sending you lots of good energy
Thanks Bex! I'm really struggling with this right now, actually for the last 2+ years. We moved into a much smaller house and I thought I got rid of enough stuff beforehand, but I wasn't even close. I don't have problems getting rid of sentimental things at all, I just don't have the energy to get started. My husband is just as depleted! I've been so overwhelmed that I've gotten behind on other things now too. I'm hoping to use Ostara(today!) as a springboard for change. Thanks for the lovely tips, as always!
The timing of this was perfect. Thank you!
So glad!
I always feel more energized and relaxed after all your videos! 🥰
This is my favorite video of your that I’ve watched so far. So wise. Great ideas.
Your video. You made me laugh tonight. I watched. I might be dying. I've been crying. Often. I enjoyed my laughing. Thank-you witch. 🤣

Very glad that your feeling better, totally get back issues keeping fuel in the tank is something we all need to be reminded of ... thank you for a perfectly timed video
Thank you! Back issues succccckk like Marylin 😅
I love the momness, and the utter lack of BS in the video.
Thank you and hilarious how you brought it! ❤😂
Love this video. Loving that we featured in it also :) :) Totally agree with limiting looking at the news etc. I have been doing that and it really does help, and you would hope that your family/friends would tell you something important, like if an asteroid was coming :) xxxxx
I needed this video. Strange perfect timing. I was just thinking I haven’t seen your face in awhile and boom you appear with the exact thing I needed to hear. 💜 I will watch this a couple times to drill it in. Thanks for the pick me up 😊
Hihi my secret witch power 😅 sending you lots of good energy
Oh Bex you made my morning 🌄 💕 This is so validating & some great advice. Being an empath protecting energy is a must. Can't wait to air out the house but it's wee bit chilly right now minus 25 lol. Thank you sending many blessings 💜
So true! Especially if you are very sensitive to other people's energy, it is especially important ❤️
Same, I live in a basement apartment right now, and the weather makes it hard to get outside and recharge. My tiny herb garden is my savior.
I needed to hear these words out loud! Danke schön! 🌛🌝🌜
You are hilarious & so on point. Recently discovered this lovely & inspiring space. From one momma to another, you are really great.
Thank you for this, it’s much needed. Nice to see you back 🦋🦋
I'm grateful for your tips!
Thank you! You too! 🤗
Welcome back. Love this video.
Really needed this video right now (and the laughs), thank you 💐
I think you should add mind-reading to your repertoire because this video couldn’t have been more perfectly timed. I received feedback on some pretty major work, and while the outcome is mostly positive, one person was unnecessarily mean in their comments. So this video was just what I needed
This video made me laugh and smile right when I needed it 💕
I soo love your energy, thank you!! I feel at home here in Germany , literally just a walk in nature and creatures magically appear 🥰 i love it here :)) Thank you for this wonderful video, it really energized me 😊🌸
You look exceptionally beautiful Bex so I would say that the self care time was effective. This video comes at such an important time as I have been very drained. Thank you so much for all this wonderful advice that i will incorporate into my life. I too have a strong act of service mentality and you opened my eyes to changes that i need to make.
Thanks so much ❤️ I am sending you lots of good energy and strength
Thank you very much I needed this I have a energy vamp that keeps breaking through all my attempts 😔
Appreciate you so very much!!🦋💜
I hope you find ways to reclaim power over your energy and are able to establish strong boundaries ❤️ or, if that doesn't help, try eating a looooot of garlic before you see them 😂
@@Thewitchescookery 🤣 that made me cackle Thank you love
Planning my hand fasting and 😅 self care…yes must pencil this in too. Great timing. Thank you for the reminder and tips!
How exciting!! And definitely pencil it in - with a big, fat, permanent marker pen 😂
As a Sigma Empath, this is a great reminder.
Purple eyeshadow is my fav on you 💜!!!
Hello! I've been a quiet follower, but I just wanted to say I'm happy you're back! I love to watch your videos🩷 You always make me laugh (literally laughed out loud when you made that comment about his ribs)
Absolutelly loved it 😍 and needed that...especially today...thank you soooo much
Welcome back! You are so adorable! I'm happy that you've been able to take some time to recharge your batteries! 🐇 Thank you for the tips on how to protect one's energy. This is something I struggle with, I'm happy to have some tips on how to be more in control of my energy. Cheers!
I just love you, thank you for your knowledge, humor and beautiful spirit! ✨💜💜🧿✨

Thank you so much. 💖😍 am so glad that you are back with your vibrant energy! Your video is so packed with ideas on this important subject!!!
Awww so glad you enjoyed it!! ❤️
Great to see you.lovely video!would love some more details on dealing with the inner saboteur and why we tend to attract troubled negative people who dump on us yet don't support back.Its exhausting.Try as I do keeps happening despite gratitude and deep connection to Beloved Mother EARTH. Thanks BECKS.
@@morganniciomhair8284 I might be able to make this into a video :) but the main message probably comes down to 'setting boundaries' - with others and with yourself
Thank you for all the wonderful information, it was needed! As usual your sense of humor made me laugh out loud. Plus wanted to tell you that you look so pretty and healthy!
