I heard in a podcast that said, “it’s important to live life by design rather than emotion. Basically, sticking to a routine is what allows us to be the healthiest version of ourselves (especially when you're fighting these demons ex. OCD for me). I’ve had to overhaul how I approach taking care of my brain (exercise, journaling, studying etc) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 40-60% effort into my journaling habit - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on my yt channel. After a really bad depression phase I started to believe I couldn’t change and I’d feel that horrible forever. Historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now I’m trying to give a small, consistent mediocre effort everyday. And its crazy how it adds up. I’m still figuring out how to be a person again, reintegrate into society but right now I have a solid foundation that I’ve never had before.
Love love love this. I’m totally similar. I’m an all or nothing person, and it’s a cycle of going all in and then burning out. If you have recommend that podcast, let me know! :)
What a treat you are! Thank you for offering us this more casual conversation ☺ As usual, it is a true pleasure being able to listen to you. You are one of the few positive, nuanced influences on the Internet. Hope you're well!
on the topic of food, i really appreciate the little tidbit where you talk about not trusting your body when you don't have an appetite. that's something i struggle with A LOT, as someone who struggles with both depression and bad gut issues, sometimes i wonder just how intuitive am i being when it comes to eating? a while ago i completely lost my appetite, i don't feel like i get hunger cues. and when i do feel hungry it rarely happens as much as it should. so often times idek when i should eat. often i wonder if thats right. like i guilt myself over eating because i don't feel hungry even though thats not in my control. and as you said, it's not normal to not eat. thats where the logic comes in, and i'm learning to just follow something very simple: just eat anyway. i'm probably oversharing sorry! but i never hear anyone talk about eating intuitively when you don't feel like you can trust your body, so thank you for mentioning it! and yes 😭 wellness culture can be weird...especially on tik tok. that is not the place for good advice lol
When it comes to exercise, I have a friend who would always tell me that there's a type of exercise for each person. That if you feel like you hate it (which I did) is because you haven't found the sport for you yet. I used to not believe him fully, but this year I have started practising a sport I absolutely love and so exercising has become something I am actually looking forward to. I am shocking myself 😂. Exercise does not need to mean hitting the gym, going for a run, or being all alone at home following workout videos if you don't like doing any of that. It can be something that is beautiful to you and that you can share with others too, something that actually gives you joy. 😊
The thing you said about avoiding dinner is so to the point! Feeling like you have everything under control until such a dilemma unveils how distorted your priorities have become. Which fits well with what you said about communities. It's a really honest criticism of the wellness culture.. I hope your thoughts reach lots of people, you have truly helped me :)
The movement conversation (that was sparked by you, many moons ago) totally changed my life. I recently hired a personal trainer and it is so liberating to have workouts given to me and not talk about weight loss or food. I am finally learning to love and celebrate my body for what it can do
I adore your videos so much. I spent the first half of this year in recovery from an ed, and I consistently looked up to you for inspiration on self love and care.
Hey Nina I love how you analyse different topics. Could you maybe talk about having a carreer and the worklife in general? I am curious what your thoughts are on this. Looking maybe specifically at topics like; education, expactations of society, how some careers seem to be more appreciated then others, how your career impacts your selfimage, mental health in relation to work etc.
I am among other things a fairly newly diagnosed Diabetic. I have learned that I can't eat certain things because it is not healthy for me, and some of those things are how i self medicated myself. I am lucky in that I love veges and tofu and all sorts of foods, so my choices in what to eat are abundant. But man it is hard still like I would love to eat mash potatoes, but that would not help me any. would love a good beer, but do not want to place my carbs there lol. I have noticed my digestion has changed a bit and I can no longer eat a lot of red meat, which I should not do anyways lol moderation is key. When i started I ate the same things over and over again because they were safe. but I am branching out to other foods to see what happens and to have more choices. I still believe that food should be enjoyed as a pleasure as well as fuel. it is just picking the pleasure that keeps you healthy. Also Dates are awesome lots of sugar but well worth the sugar grams lol
That is such a good video!!! I recently thought about the aspect of community in/ as wellness a lot so it was interesting to hear you touch on that as well!
Hey Lovely! So when are you gonna tell us about your hair colour/ journey...did you dye it yourself? I am veeeeeery tempted to go red, but am a dyed blond- so my hair is already on the edge 😅 but you grow with your challenges don't you 😄😄 soo please share...i feel like hair changes everything about how we feel, or at least it has the potential to. Lots of love to you! 🤸🏼♀️🥰
Hi Nina beautiful video 💙 I was wondering if you have ever struggled with binges due to adhd. I have times I completely disconnected from reality until I realise what I’ve done and feel sick .. other times as you sat, I don’t eat enough during times of hyperfocus and obsessions .. Yiu have any gentle general tips on this? Apart from physical grounding, etc
I hope you're OK! Maybe the video raised sensitive topics for you and you needed to let the feelings "go out"... That's sometimes a good thing to let it go.
this feels like facetiming an older sister, thanks for the advice

I don't know why I started a non stoppable crying episode.
I hope you're OK! Maybe the video raised sensitive topics for you and you needed to let the feelings "go out"... That's sometimes a good thing to let it go.

Lovely video, but I really didn't vibe with the layout
