Cory, I just have to tell you how much I appreciate you as a person. You’re literally the first TH-camr I ever watched and I’ve enjoyed every moment of your story. I found your videos when the rock skipping video went viral years ago. Your mindset has help me look at life in a different way and help me get through a lot over the years. Thank you man!
SAME - he brought me into the world of subscribing to a channel on TH-cam (I now follow over 100) I found him on his first day driving to Alaska....I'm all about that life ....all I think about. He is quite relatable to me in many ways, but anyhow. Never missed a video till he moved back to the states and turned into a semi-quasi Family Channel.
I learned a long time ago to quit worrying about the future, to never plan longer than a few months ahead and just go with the flow. Way less stressful and fits with the creative mind. Any mistakes you make along the way are just learning experiences, without mistakes and failures, you do not grow. Just go with the flow.
Whoahhh!!! That cabin and those views!!! My dream home! So happy for you Cory but sorry to hear about your anxiety on the drive. Glad it subsided. You're the one on a creative retreat but this cabin and magical place is sparking my own creativity so thank you for bringing us along and sharing. Enjoy!
This is such a powerful video. I think a lot of us forget to talk to ourselves and just be with ourselves without the world outside clouding our thoughts.
Just a heads up, your location is tagged in the description. This sounds like this trip isn't just for writing. It will be a good opportunity to clear your head and ground yourself. Take care of yourself ❤
hopefully the nutcases are long gone... I mean, I know close enough where the drummer for Coheed and Cambria lives that I could go find his house if I wanted, but I'm not about to go there uninvited. and I'm sure there's other things that I know from things that he's posted that I could probably arrange the find a place to "run into him"... but... why? what would there possibly be to gain from that? if I were to do that and knock on the door, when he answers where is it going to go from there...? It's just going to be weird, awkward, and creepy. That doesn't sound like an enjoyable experience for either of us to me.
@@better.better But he mentioned that he won't use the fireplace because it's the beginning of July, and we're only at the 5th of July, so he's most likely still there. Also, he said that he has internet there, but it's kinda spotty.
It is neat how when you suffer from anxiety, you think you are the only one, that there is something wrong with you. But I am starting to realize just how common this in, it is not abnormal at all, just part of the human condition. Some of us though have it more severe than others, all tied to our genetics and early experiences.....
Hello Cory, I have been watching you and your family grow from quite some time and became an instant fan. Currently I came out of a toxic marriage, which gave me anxiety and depression and unsure of future. But now I'm loving my life with some 'me' time. Helping people around as much as I can. Just love your videos. Love from India. ❤❤
I used to watch during the early SMP years, grew up with your videos, watched all of the original vlogs, vicariously lived through them, tuned out for last near decade since I started a life of my own, but I periodically type in 'Cory Williams' to see whats going on... Makes me so happy to see you doing well, got a family, seem wiser more fulfilled than ever, really means a lot to me to see you out there doing your thing. Stay Rad! Sending my Love!
Dude , you really do mountains, you were these happy in Alaska tooo Don't worry dear, everybody is going through anxiety and worries in this pandemic, remember you are not alone Take one step at a time, one day at a time, one week at a time After hearing the way you say goodbye, I realised how much I missed it, Thanks for sharing your thoughts , Really happy to see you again. Will pray for you and your family be healthy happy and safe........
I also have anxiety and I find that it helps to put my hand over my heart and I say "Of course you feel ..." and then I take a deep breath and repeat that I am safe and it's okay to feel ... but I am safe. On another note: that cliff is stunning, but I'm definitely happy to see it through a video. The sounds from birds and bugs is my favorite in the world Thank you for sharing!
Hi Cory. Yeah sounds like this is probably more so to clear your heart, soul and mind from hindrances and overthinking than a Writer's retreat. Allow yourself to experience joy as an individual as well. If writing music, books, whatever way of expression you have for yourself is there in your heart than treasure that with no expectations ( not the same as goals ) of yourself. Happy for you to have this time to yourself and your imagination and creativity. We need to grow as individuals as well so for those with children, they can learn and nurture from their parents. I wish you joy, peace, and strength. Love you Cory!
Speaking as a son who's almost about to leave the house, I am completely ready from a personal standpoint. If your son is ready to leave, that means you did your job right. You may not be ready, but at that point, the responsibility has shifted from you to him. It matters that he's ready.
I'm late to watching these but Cory you have been an inspiration in my life for many many years, so much you feel like that old friend or a long distand cousin lol. Sometimes it's do hard to shut off that anxiety and it's hard but I know that learning from each anxiety attack ot panic attack teaches me another bit about me and that relaxing is key. 😊
Hi Cori. I think you are so funny and loving in all of your crazyness 😘 I hope you keep doing what you love and keep sharing it with the world because it needs more people like you! We all need some encouraging and uplifting people to help us with our insane mundane life. Lots of love from Portugal ❤️🤗😉🙏
i miss you on a regular basis 🥺You helped me so much thru my own Anxiety and depression. You have such a strong positive presence. I love how you think. Keep up the good work and please do more videos. 🕊⭐️
The fact that you calmed down when you felt the trees and mountains and whatnot, sounds like you're meant to be in Alaska...I know the feeling, im trying to go back
How true. Moments when I over thought about the future, then got there, looked back fondly at the time of worries, realized I should have enjoyed that moment, and not over thought about my current future.
Wow, I've visited places like that and I really have such trouble leaving. I've had genuine issues going back to the world when I've left these places behind...that place is stunning dude, enjoy!
I watched these two videos out of order. But I was able to see that one reason you may have experienced anxiety driving out there could be about the anticipation and expectation of creativity and productivity that you have for this week, don’t about what you will achieve and the reality of finally spending some alone time... you know as a parent that alone is a weird and rare precious experience... just enjoy being there... everything, even just solitude, is progress. Don’t pin too much expectation on yourself. 💔
❤️❤️❤️LOVE YOU CORY❤️❤️❤️ I have ALWAYS ADMIRED YOUR HONESTY and GOOD HEART ❤️ The view and surroundings where you are staying at the cabin are breathtaking and for you for the taking Cory! Such a beautiful place to clear your head and have some “me time” I, like you Cory have ADD and Anxiety (unspecified) definitely not easy sometimes. As you mentioned though, having ADD is good and not so good. You are VERY CREATIVE and well LOVED by so many. Don’t be so hard on yourself Cory! I know, sometimes easier said then done. You’ve got this, and you will find what you are searching for. All well worth it, and “just for you” Thinking of Cory, nature and the smell of pine trees 🌲 Love Ya Cory! P. S. You can always take off the mattress from the bed and put it inside the screened porch and sleep out there and be “one with nature” 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
Amazing place... I'd do that any day... And you are an amazing person.. Nobody is perfect, but to overcome your flaws and own upto it makes a real person. You've done that and are a great inspiration to us all... Wishing beautiful greatness in the future for you and your awesome family..
Cory, All of us have been so holed up in our coronavirus bunkers that we got too used to it, and we all subsequently forgot how to adventure and we forgot how to cope with everything outside of our homes. The slightest deviation from the solitary home life I crafted for myself is now maddening to me, when it wouldn't have bothered me before the quarantine. My wife and I were slated to do a weekend retreat somewhere within our home state of Illinois, but I panicked, thinking I couldn't mentally or physically handle the challenge of living or sleeping in a different place. Getting back into the game, whether that game is creativity or life outside of quarantine, is going to be a challenge, and it's okay that that's a challenge. But it looks like you're taking that challenge, of getting your life where you want it to be, head-on, and you deserve all the support in the world for that. Cheers to you, Cory, from some dude who's been watching your content for about 12 years now.
The reason I talk to myself is because sometimes I need an expert opinion! You’re definitely an expert on yourself! Those of us who have been around for a while know that you always always work through it!!!!! Usually I’m very excited about what comes out when you’re on!!!! Meaning all together!! As always thanks for sharing!! Tell Kristen and the kids we miss them!! Also I really wish you and I could talk! You know exactly what you need to and just don’t give yourself enough credit!!
This looks like the mounts in North but I really doubt you drove that distance. And IM the sMe way you are in many ways. First off, YES! The mountains always gives a warm comforting HUGS. I'm living by the sea at the moment Nd miss the mountains. You know, I've been watching you for I think 15 years now.. maybe more.. and you've LwYs been sincerity too what people think but that's because you have such a pure heart and even though it's hard too have a pure heart it's a blessing too. Take care of yourself my friend. I have ADD too so I get ALL of this. Oh!!!! Corry go buy some banannas!!
You definitely deserved this to get away and a special treat and a nice break for being such an amazing dad and an amazing loving husband! And I’m glad to see you still have that Jeep you bought when living in Alaska! That Jeep is like a reminder of your Alaska days!
Lovely! ❤ wow that’s a lot to yourself 🤪😂🙌I’m super happy for you in this moment! I dream of writing and retreats while I want my lifestyle to be that too each week but also sometimes get away like this for myself once I trust myself w my practice in the everyday first. I adore bnbs and inns and my hubby always likes hotels lol nice ones but mind you sometimes im just like eventually I need to do this for me with my life work:) and get okay with that sometimes..:) its so soul nourishing! 😅great for you to courageously do this! Not easy for sure ..but important to follow our dreams.. personal vortex activations.. stuff like these experiences are not found in hotels. They just are meant for people who appreciate the charming unique spaces we need for nourishing our souls..
My anxiety has gotten worse over the years. It has gotten to the point I can barely drive cause I can have a panic attack in the middle of traffic. Safe right? I need to do me and probably need to find me a doctor who can help me instead of me just blowing it off like I can do it alone. I hope you embrace you and all of the things you want to do. Good luck on your journey.
I just wanted to share that my husband used to struggle with anxiety and depression. He would have panic attacks almost daily. He struggled with racing thoughts and would bounce back and forth between being anxious and being depressed. It wasn't until he went to a primary care doctor who diagnosed him with ADD. He started a very low dose ADD medication and it has helped him so much! He is able to think clearly and can focus on what he wants to focus on and his anxiety and depression has almost disappeared. He also attends therapy once a month. He used to attend therapy almost weekly because his anxiety and depression was so bad. I don't know if you have tried therapy or medication but I encourage you to look into it and don't quit until you find something that works for you. My husband tried multiple different medications before he found something that worked for him. Best wishes!
I wish I had the money to go on a month long retreat. Or even a summer long writing and reading retreat. I'm going for 4 days this Monday and omg. I can't wait.
Can't wait to see what that amazing Brian of yours will create while up in that beautiful place. Also having an ADHD brain myself I can relate big time.
@12:42 beyond. This is why you have to call your mom! She has had those same thoughts about you that you are having right now. Call your mom! But first! Go forest bathing! Dilute those vibs, green is known to be universally healing! I thought you'd be running or biking through the forest trails with "He's a Pirate" by Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimme (Pirates of the Caribbean theme song) playing in the background. Adventure to that creek below to see what fairies, elves, & gnomes might be doing to ward off those pesky trolls, goblins, and other wild things! On a deeper note . . . I see there is big time anxiety. Only you know the truth about where those anxiety attacks come from. I can only speculate that its from being away from your family. I know that you will always be there for them. Connect with yourself, once you've left that space, make it a ritual to connect with yourself. If others are relaying on you - who can you rely on?
Corey, I hate to tell you this, but in a way your normal, I talk to myself all the time and it helps me concur life's path. Stop thinking so far ahead, day by day 👍😎👍
Stunning place! I get anxiety and panic attacks! Never used to! It came with age! Bananas do calm you! Try natural calm! It works the minute you take it! Mix with hot water and it is the best stuff! Or they have gummies in it now! You will get through this! And that place is perfect for you to regroup!!
Wow 😲 I want to rent that place !!!!!! I feel like you had anxiety on the way up because 1 you were leaving the fam ( maybe feeling a little guilty) like you did during naked & afraid. 2 you know this is going to help and you got anxious in anticipation because great change is coming.
Please be careful about that cliff. My landlord nearly died because she fell off a cliff that looks very much like this, while she was at her own cabin retreat last summer.
What a lovely place! The view is beautiful! Maybe you should read something from the Bible too around this time .. read thru the Psalms.. it will help you with your anxiety. Ask God for direction and His peace will guard your heart and mind:)
This video kinda reminds me of "The Shining" if Jack Nicholson's character did a long monologue......Hope you're ok Cory......stay away from the REᗡЯUM
yes I was thinking the same thing but I think it's because he added the bit about what happened to him on the way up it just adds that flavor of anticipation
Cory, I just have to tell you how much I appreciate you as a person. You’re literally the first TH-camr I ever watched and I’ve enjoyed every moment of your story. I found your videos when the rock skipping video went viral years ago. Your mindset has help me look at life in a different way and help me get through a lot over the years. Thank you man!

Me too, but I’ve actually been watching him since The Mean Kitty song back in 2007! RIP Sparta!
Why do i get Alaska vibes watching this? looks stunning.
I see it too! reminds me so much of the old place!
Exactly.....he needs AK
Same, that was my first thought
I learned a long time ago to quit worrying about the future, to never plan longer than a few months ahead and just go with the flow. Way less stressful and fits with the creative mind. Any mistakes you make along the way are just learning experiences, without mistakes and failures, you do not grow. Just go with the flow.

Everyone needs a retreat place. It is so so so important for health, growth, creativity, insights, acceptance, on and on. You're doing great Cory
WOW! What an awesome place! I envy you. Don't fret over what will be and focus on the now. Enjoy every moment. Sending you man hugs Cory.

Cory that cabin look amazing
Looks absolutely beautiful there, what a lovely place to stay and have peace, thanks for sharing Cory:)
Beautiful scenery , I pray that you find the peace and serenity that you deserve. 😘

Be easy on yourself. You’re a great person, and you do great things! You’ve got this.
😯😯😯so cool cabina cori You are living the Dream that so mucho of us have👏👏
Enjoy and thanks for sharing. I can relate well with some of your mind "thoughts".
Love you, man. Enjoy your time up there, looks amazing!
Lovely! ❤ wow that’s a lot to yourself 🤪😂🙌I’m super happy for you in this moment!

This was interesting in your process to plan out kinda a structure for each day that’s smart. Good for me to think of. Rest day 1 for sure!:)
My anxiety has gotten worse over the years. It has gotten to the point I can barely drive cause I can have a panic attack in the middle of traffic. Safe right? I need to do me and probably need to find me a doctor who can help me instead of me just blowing it off like I can do it alone. I hope you embrace you and all of the things you want to do. Good luck on your journey.
So gorgeous.. lucky you.. Being alone can be scary and wonderful.. Btw.. you're so gonna cry when you give Chell away! Lol..
Thank you so much for the video Cory. The real life has a bad and a good face. You show both of them. Take care a lot of yourself.
I just wanted to share that my husband used to struggle with anxiety and depression. He would have panic attacks almost daily. He struggled with racing thoughts and would bounce back and forth between being anxious and being depressed. It wasn't until he went to a primary care doctor who diagnosed him with ADD.

Have a wonderful day Cory. Enjoy your self!
I wish I had the money to go on a month long retreat. Or even a summer long writing and reading retreat.
I'm going for 4 days this Monday and omg. I can't wait.
Don't forget no Ramen in the Jacuzzi cleaning it is a PITA as i'm sure you remember. Hope your trip is/was a good retreat.
Beeautiful 💭✍️🌗 Love the benches too 🌟
I want to live in that cabin !
Can't wait to see what that amazing Brian of yours will create while up in that beautiful place. Also having an ADHD brain myself I can relate big time.
I hope you have/had a great time Cory. You have definitly been in the lowlands for too long if you call this mountains :)
@12:42 beyond.
This is why you have to call your mom! She has had those same thoughts about you that you are having right now. Call your mom! But first! Go forest bathing! Dilute those vibs, green is known to be universally healing!
I thought you'd be running or biking through the forest trails with "He's a Pirate" by Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimme (Pirates of the Caribbean theme song) playing in the background. Adventure to that creek below to see what fairies, elves, & gnomes might be doing to ward off those pesky trolls, goblins, and other wild things!
On a deeper note . . .
I see there is big time anxiety. Only you know the truth about where those anxiety attacks come from. I can only speculate that its from being away from your family. I know that you will always be there for them. Connect with yourself, once you've left that space, make it a ritual to connect with yourself. If others are relaying on you - who can you rely on?
OMG the jaccuzi!! I'd read with some wine there.
Corey, I hate to tell you this, but in a way your normal, I talk to myself all the time and it helps me concur life's path. Stop thinking so far ahead, day by day 👍😎👍
Thank you for sharing
For your next writing retreat you should apply to be the winter caretaker of a seasonal hotel in the mountains! :D
Good luck Corey, get well.
Just remember to drink a lot of water as you are a higher elevation than back at your house. Can't wait to hear the continued story.
Stunning place! I get anxiety and panic attacks! Never used to! It came with age! Bananas do calm you! Try natural calm! It works the minute you take it! Mix with hot water and it is the best stuff! Or they have gummies in it now! You will get through this! And that place is perfect for you to regroup!!
This is sooo amazing!!
Really makes me wish my country had mountains or even just big/tall hills
You got this bud.
Wow 😲 I want to rent that place !!!!!! I feel like you had anxiety on the way up because 1 you were leaving the fam ( maybe feeling a little guilty) like you did during naked & afraid. 2 you know this is going to help and you got anxious in anticipation because great change is coming.
an assumption.... you miss Alaska and as soon as you got to the trees it reminded you of Alaska and you felt better. You came alive in Alaska
Wow.. I would like to go to someplace like this sometime.. 😍 once you leave plz tell the name of this place.. It's heaven ❤
Cory, I think it reminds you of AK being remote and in the pines. We leave for AK in a month :)
Just a humble algorithm comment lol. Have a nice day
Admit it, Cory: you miss us!!
Have a wonderful retreat, and whether you write a lot or a little, enjoy it.
Okay so now..where was this place??
cory i was marking faces in the car
me - where is kristen hidden camera 🤣 lol just kidding
You should’ve never left Alaska.That was your happy place.
Where is this?
I feel like I remember somebody else going to this place and vlogging, but maybe it's just a deja vu
Dont forget to put the "Bad" into perspective
Do you need a good cook to fix your meals while you are staying in the cabin? :-) Awesome overlook!
Nature!
Get writing! Brain dump all the chatter and let it out. Then let your creativity flow! You have a seriously amazing place to do it in!
Yeah only thing missing with that cabin is a fishing lake
What about Bob?
Baby steps.
Best David
We can all heal together
Please be careful about that cliff. My landlord nearly died because she fell off a cliff that looks very much like this, while she was at her own cabin retreat last summer.
If you haven't left already, please check if you can remove your location on the video! It is currently tagged.
Too bad it wasn't already furnished with a full compliment of cute friendly kitty cats!
What a lovely place! The view is beautiful! Maybe you should read something from the Bible too around this time .. read thru the Psalms.. it will help you with your anxiety. Ask God for direction and His peace will guard your heart and mind:)
It's true. Jesus is the true source of peace
Your first sentence really should be, “I didn’t have a banana.”
Looks like the ozarks
Hi Corey
This video kinda reminds me of "The Shining" if Jack Nicholson's character did a long monologue......Hope you're ok Cory......stay away from the REᗡЯUM
yes I was thinking the same thing but I think it's because he added the bit about what happened to him on the way up it just adds that flavor of anticipation
@@better.better yes......l agree
Snakes !!! Ugh !! 😳
Take time to breathe Corey! Just breathe.
