Finding joy again // starting over vlog 03

- This is the story of how I found joy again. During one of the darkest times of my life, I began healing my soul. On days when there was no sun in sight, hope can always be found in the smallest things.
Every day I wake up and set my intention for the day. We decide what the story of our life will be everyday when we rise. These are the days I picked myself up, by throwing myself a "favorites" day and dancing my heart out. Where I wandered around Paris and let myself get lost; where I treated myself with love and kindness and to a home cooked meal and bad tv. These are the moments when I turned off my phone and spent a few hours making pottery and listened to the rain on my window. Or when I woke up early and welcomed the quiet and stillness, picking up a pen to make drawings. These are the moments I spent with online friends sharing our goals and manifestations, reflecting and supporting each other, realizing that community is everything and we are never truly alone if we don't want to be. I tried to capture these moments but if you take away just one thing: it's never too late to begin again. I love you, thanks for being my friend.

Yes!!! Why do we feel like it's "too late" when we're literally in our 20's or 30's? The only time it's too late is when we're dead
I needed to read this. Thank you. 🥺
social media has made us feel like if we don’t succeed by 25, we’re forever failures
I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way
It’s funny I sometimes feel it’s too late, but I’m only 16... Like gosh social media why did you do that to me
@@chloe-fy4wc girl then youre not even started. Trust the process🙂 xx a 31 year old
Came here for the french and the art, stayed for the wisdom and the relatability.
I'm nearly 60 and every day I live with the intention of joy. Watching your vlog is one of the joyful activities of my day. Merci!
I’m 40 and also in Australia 🇦🇺 this Chanel also brings me joy 🤩
Same 55 from UK 😍I need this escapism.
*"I was in like a weird shed, with people smoking weed out of an apple"...* now THAT'S a painting I want to see..
so glad I'm not the only one...
sounds a lot like skins tbh
I was married for 9 years and divorced. 5 years later i met my prince and have been married for 38 year’s happily. Life is full of surprises and you have just started to live. i hope you have a beautiful life. I have and you can too. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰
shayna, you literally never fail to put a smile on my face 🤍 you are so unique and i’m grateful for your energy!!! ☀️
woah was not expecting to see a comment from u here haha
When you said "people dont wanna see perfect people" I was internally screaming YES. It feels so healing and authentic to have the chance to observe and to be a part of what theyre actually going through, instead of the perfect picture that someone tried to draw of themselves. This video really made me want to comment this because after a very long and hard day, this video felt like just sitting down and having a talk with a person you know.
I SOOOOOOOOOO needed this on this cold California morning. I am going into my 2nd job this morning to do something I’ve NEVER DONE!!!!!! I’m an RN and I’ve starting teaching but I got tapped to do theory instead of an area I was completely comfortable with so.......TODAYS IM GOING TO KICK ASS AND BE AWESOME!!!!!! Oh and I’m 48😬👍🏻🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I wanna be as awesome as you when I'm 48 ❤️
You got this! Go teach, go learn, you go girl!
I started a tradition with myself where I spent New Years Eve alone, order really great Chinese food, and watch a good movie. I’ve done it several years in a row. The only reason I didn’t do it this year was because one of my best friends lost her brother at the beginning of December and she wanted to spend NYE with friends and her bf ❤️
I love being alone. Too much so sometimes.
I almost managed to keep it together until the credits, where a simple “I’m rooting for you” caused me to shed a few tears. You’re a doll
same
me too haha
yes!! me too
healing is so important. thank you for sharing parts of your journey with us
thank you
I loved when you said that cemeteries are a place that bring you peace because that's how i feel about your channel!
Recently I went through a similar situation to yours and this sentence "People don't want to see perfect people, they wanna see people that they can really connect to" hit me deeply, I even wrote it down in my journal․
I've done your method today
I woke up and I said to myself: Today is going to be joyfull
I've danced, painted, drunk great coffee, eaten nice food with pleasure, had nice talk with my friends, danced!, studied :D, played with my cat and I mostly done these everyday but today I gave it myself from heart and these were beautiful. I felt very active and had this awareness of what I am exactly doing. You really inspire me
it is past midnight now, my neighboors possibly see me but now I'll dance more
I cried wenn you danced, it felt so pure and raw. Thank you for reminding us that joy can be found in the simplest things!
Getting out of bed in winter is so hard, I feel you 💔 Especially when it seems there is nothing to look forward to in the day, and your bed seems like a warm refuge from the world. Sometimes the only answer is to make it your mission to enjoy the day. And as long as you're enjoying yourself nothing else matters.❤️❤️
yassss 🙌🏻
“fuck that shit, that’s not who we are in 2021”. quote of the year 💜
I'm a new subscriber and I crying watching this because I was having such a hard time for the past 3 years. And this year I've been through so much healing. It just reminded me of what I've been through. Thank you for this.
Beautiful ❤️
MERCI BEAUCOUP
@kchoi you’re an inspiration
this series is everything. i think its healing you and us simultaneously. keep creating love. xx
I feel like i’m gunna be a small fish in a big pond here but i’ve been just indulging in your videos; i’ve found you in a really dark place in my life. I just want to say that I appreciate your message of just being yourself and to not be afraid of self expression. It just feels nice to not feel alone. Thank you for this channel and these beautiful videos Shayna 💛
I am enjoying these videos so much. I can't help but find some kind of connection between your neighborhood then and now...what those neighborhoods represent and why you moved. I don't know much about you but --maybe it's the English professor in me...I am writing your back story in symbolism and metaphor. You are more aligned with yourself now. You are where you belong.
Would love a morning dance play list so I can wake up and vibe with my favourite real life art fairy!
healing is not linear and that is more than okay, and thank u for showing that. your content is beautiful and raw and real. so thank u. much love and sending hugs.
True words 🤍
''My favourite things day" ....I love this idea and I'm going to start this little tradition with myself from now on xx
Same as you, I make distance even with close friends because I don't want them to see my pain, my weirdness, my anger, my thoughts...
2021 is gonna be the year for me to give my confidence and affirming myself, being authentic and living for me without the fear of others.
So happy to have discovered your personality through this beautiful YTB channel
I wish you luck and happiness and that your journey is going to successful
I'm the same. Learning to be more open with people who I trust and respect (and who reciprocate) is hard, but worth it. It's good to get out of your own head. Good luck!!!
I'm not going to lie, these last few videos you have posted have shown such a different more vulnerable side we haven't seen before & I must say, its refreshing. I really feel you in these videos, thank you for documenting these hard times. It allows me to enjoy my down days which always transfer to creativity (when i allow it in) So thank you.
shayna is more free than most people will ever be in their entire life. i aspire to be like shayna.
Yes! Now she’s the person I look up to
@@chloe-fy4wc yeah shayna a wonderful role model. she's the main reason i have the balls to make videos too!!
@@LucyVivienneSmith omg, that’s wonderful! also, your latest cover is so good 💕
@@chloe-fy4wc oh my thank u !! i really appreciate it. would u be able to subscribe? im only a small artist and music has always been my dream 🥺💞
i find it so weird and amazing how just seeing you go through all this process of kind of finding yourself (in a way?) again and getting back to what makes you happy also makes at least me have this super strong will to also do what i love and what makes me happy, i feel like even though i've never really exchanged a single word with you i can connect sooooooo deeply to what you talk about and what you show in your videos and i sure am here for it :) ily shayna
I spent my first Christmas by myself this year! It made some of my family upset, a little, not that much, but I chose to be by myself. It was the most peaceful day, I listened to Mooji talk about Christ in a wonderful Satsang. I ate what I wanted, when I wanted. I contacted only those I wanted to. I forced myself to be honest, what do you really want to do on this Holy day? ME, I want to do ME, MYSELF and I. It was so great to enjoy a holiday on my own. I am finally at peace on my own, almost three years it has taken but so worth the journey. I enjoy your video's so mucn because I can totally relate to your thoughts and feelings. Thank you for being so brave. Love and Light to you and your journey.
I personally think the best way to life is by 100% authentically being ourselves and accepting ourselves for who we are, what we have and even where we live.
Finding your channel in 2020 helped me see that. 💡
A life I Once hated has become a life I can't wait to document and share with the world. You made me accept myself and now all I can say is that You are indeed a gift 🌟
Having a favorite day is the best idea in the world. I wrote it down in my goals journal 👩🏫. I'm a new subscriber, but you inspire me so much. I'm binge watching your video's now. Love your bright personality 🤗💕
I am SO gonna give you my money when the poetry book comes out!! 😍
such an artsy queen!
thank you!!
I am so grateful to have found you and your channel! Your light and energy is something that is so desperately needed in this world! As for you saying you're never too old...that is so true. I left a 16-yr abusive marriage at the end of 2019 and started a new life, just me and our 6 kids. The kids are thriving and I have found a happiness and freedom I have never had before. Keep shining your light, babe!! 💜
✨when some has control of your mind they have control of your emotions...how you view the world, yourself & others...do not absorb, react or respond to abusive personalities...the soul is never happy if the ego is always bruised...there’s nothing more peaceful than connecting with your own soul, it’s the most powerful relationship you will ever have
YES! There's so much value in not being perfect. Flaws are dynamic and beautiful and we should share them with the world and not be afraid to be vulnerable
Watching you dance with that music laid on top made me almost cry!...The joy you emanate and growth you show is so beautiful. I love how you maintain a childlike wonder of the world despite going through undoubtedly such dark times. Love to you from Ireland
This is just what I needed. I’m 52, solo parent of three (amazing) humans and trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up (closed my practice and walked away from my career last Fall). You make me smile and uplift me while I sort it all out... merci! Can’t wait to learn more about your self publishing adventure and all that you do in 2021! Santé!
The calming music, inspiring talks and beautiful images. I wanna jump up and do things! 💚
Gosh your „videos“ (pieces of art I mean) really send me into another reality... and at the same time they always feel like coming home
Thank you for sharing your healing process with us. My own journey of healing has felt so rough lately, but this has inspired me so much to actively pursue joy. I’m definitely adding dancing to my morning routine! :)
Keep going with the process!!! They call it 'The Work' for a reason. Work at it everyday with determination.
Shayna, you are such a gorgeous soul and these videos are so touching and raw and just fill my heart so much!!!!! I am sending you so much love 💕💕💕💕
I was thinking of self publishing as well but have no idea how to go about it! Thank you for showing us it's doable!
I LOVE your energy and I love the setting your intentions first thing in the morning!!!!! And.....I agree 100% with going to cemeteries. I'm Sicilian so going to the cemetery is totally part of my culture. It's not the dead you have to worry about. It's the living. I'm sending you love, hugs and positive energy....❤️
your vlogs are unbelievably healing for me. that advice about not caring that you've never done something before spoke straight to my soul. thank you have a wonderful and amazing year Shayna xx
This energy of "we're all here to support each other." I am drinking this in with a damn STRAW!
I have been in such a creative rut for the last few years, and I didn't even realize it. I have chosen the STEM path, which I love, but since being in college and now graduate school, it consumes my whole life. I'm never asked to focus on the creative aspects of my life. Growing up I was always into painting and physical 3D mediums. I am farther and farther away from my creative-self that I used to define myself as when I was in middle school and high school. The last few months I have been trying to focus on that creative energy, both in the act of creating, but also in the spontaneity of my life and the perspective of my experiences. I am starting to feel so inspired now. And in a way, I didn't realize I was missing until I started to have it again. I am so in love with your energy. Your presence brings me to tears because you can take nothing and bring meaning to it just by looking at it with intention. You have already taught me so much and I appreciate you taking the time to share your life here.
This video made me feel nice and relaxed. I love the idea of having a day where you just do all the things you love. So simple but so profound.
I love your soul and your videos. You gave me so much inspiration to keep on going with my dreams. Because of you, I started journaling and manifesting, then I found spirituality and my life changed completely, all because of you, so thank you so much for doing what you do and your content, you are really inspiring. Hope you get better and better each day. ❤
You are so rawly empowered. You remind me of all of the things I love about myself. I see you and I see me and fall in love all over again. I cannot thank you enough for just sharing with us you. Thank you.
shayna, your videos are so healing!! I come back and watch them over and over every time I want to be uplifted. Thank you dearly for sharing your spirit!!!
just found your videos today during an important change in my life. realizing that I need to let the past hurts and it’s like a beautiful tragedy. your videos have been giving me so much hope
your videos are filmed so beautifully, they make me take a step back and look for beauty in the smallest things
Ah! Shayna! I can't get through a video of yours without laughing and also crying... I am so looking forward to hearing about the self publishing process of your poetry collection! I have always had in the back of my head to publish my own poetry. You are an inspiration! And thank you for your little messages at the end of your videos. They always feel like a warm hug that I can cry into
YOU ARE SO INSPIRING!!! ugh it makes me want to cry. what a beautifully orchestrated video. thank you so much for sharing this with the world. you motivate me to share my truth with the world as well... something I’ve spent my entire life being afraid to do.
Loved that video!!! And totally agree about connection and authenticity!!! You can connect online to like minded people of there aren't many physically around you... And being true is so important!!!! The world has enough of fake perfect people. I am looking for true, messy in the process of healing people because that's what life is all about! Thank you for being you 🧡
I'm not a big commenter but man oh man your videos a treasure
im not crying 😭 ❤️🎉 I found you through Damon’s videos and I’ve been keeping up for a while. Ahhhh, I’m grateful for your vulnerability and openness. It makes me want to create even more. My 2020 was a good art year and I’m excited to do more and push myself out of my comfort zone try new realms of painting, videos, photography, etc. 😊🎉❤️
Nothing makes me feel held quite like your videos. Thank you for always being so raw and real ❤️
Never been this early! Not even in my online class lmao
Kidding aside I hope you all have a lovely day! Stay mindful and be grateful even for the smallest things✨🧘♀️
Good morning! have a great day
That sneak peek poetry from your book! 🥺🥺🥺 all the feels. It was so beautiful! 💐🌾🍄🌻🌺✨
Your videos really help me because I’m in the same situation.. today is my first day alone in my new apartment after living with my (now ex) boyfriend for 5 years and I have never felt so alone.. it feels so good to see that someone is having the exact same feelings right now. I’m so thankful for your first video of the series. I have never seen anyone be this open about their sadness and I have never felt more understood. and it makes me hope that if you can get better with time I can too even if it doesn’t feel like that now ♥️
You are so right about what kind of people we like to see. Someone we can connect to. That's why I love your videos
Great video! It's never too late to try new things, they keep the soul playful and young.
So glad to be reconnecting with your channel again❤ Originally I had found your channel after my trip to France. I felt nostalgic and wanted to feel connected to that great experience I had on that trip. Then 2020 happened and like many people I too lost my job. Between a bunch of mixed emotions I finally decided to persue my dream job. Iam scared, nervous, anxious, yet happy... that light of happiness grew a bit more after your first video titled starting over. Just as I asked God for a sign days later that 1st video of yoyrs popped up❤. Thank you for sharing your genuine experience
I came across your video today while being in a week long slump, struggling to find my spark again and you've left a mark on my me in some way. Thank you I admire you so much
I love Paris and montparnasse. It was always my dream to live there (in Paris, not in the cemetery specifically, lol). Such a fun vlog I loved watching your favourites day. You inspire me to live a freer life. Thank you Shayna! 💝🎉
Hello way over in Paris. Wishing you an awesome Winter Season. Thank you for your sharing your light and joy during this time. . . .btw, you are a great dancer !
I have been feeling a bit lost but this has inspired me to work on my mental health and do more things that make me happy. Thank you Shayna!
I like the way your window is slanted!!! You can hear the 🌧️!!!
You are glorious and adorable. 💕You life is blooming 💕
Great things are coming. 🫂
I love looking back at these with where you are now!
Girl, you are life-enhancing! Thank you, from a fellow Aquarian xxx
Only just started to watch your videos and I can't believe I haven't found you before. You are such a wonderful soul ❤ I'm trying to get back into art and creating to heal myself, I'm excited to see your journey and I'm excited to go on this with you 😊 you are such a sweet sweet angel 🤗
I just came across your vlog, you’re such an inspiration! Nearly 65 and thinking to start over again, because of your comments, good vibe and energy. Thank you! Sending love from Puerto Rico.
Thank you so much for this, I feel I have started anew or learned major new things every couple of years. I am in my 5th decade now :) At some point I started studying besides going to work and have been at it for the last 9 years (different courses, all finished by now). This year now, I made a pact with myself to set 2 major goals for 2021 (that's enough so you don't stress yourself out), and to do 5 productive things per day :)
While one of the big things is studying a little each night and sending in the homework each Sunday this whole idea has taken a huge weight of my chest.
Keep it managable, do not compare yourself to others and enjoy the 5 little productive things you just do for yourself (tidying, cleaning, reading the next chapter, workouts, ...). And don't hang out at places you don't wanna be at :)
Your films are such a joy xox
Merci Shayna :) À chaque fois que je viens faire un tour sur ta chaîne j'en repars rempli de vitalité et de poésie. Bon courage pour cette nouvelle année.
What a beautiful video, full of uplifting inspiration and creativity. You are full of wisdom! Thanks for your videos ❤
I adore your spirit and strength
I cannot believe how much we’re working through the same issues right now, this is so helpful to share it with someone! Thank you for putting yourself out there and letting us know you, it’s a gift! And I’m grateful. Bisous & Bonne année Shayna!!🌻✨💗
Watching you is very cathartic and inspiring. Thank you for giving me a glimpse into your life
this is year is yours, it’s mine. it’s ours. we’re going to do it-whatever “it” may be :’)
love from michigan, usa
you talking about just doing whatever you feel like doing...SLAPS. for soooo long, in fact- up to NOW, it felt as if I had to just stay in my corner of only making videos or taking photos. I put limits onto myself even if I wanted to try something new artistically...just because it didn’t feel like the “Me” I’ve been working on for so long. Anyways, thanks for touching on that topic 🥺 cheers to your new chapter & the new year, best of luck💗
I think it is very interesting how art can accompany our phases and our changes💖
Beautiful poem , yes you are very inspiring and like a younger me , the inlived life I see in you . Thank you. Yes starting now also for myself.
I loved that poem you read that you made! I usually don’t read poem books but have started to think I might start. I’d like to read some more of yours! It was satisfying and real like you mentioned. Have a great week all :)
Thank you for sharing so transparently. I know you're going through some heavy stuff, and maybe you know this already, but sharing this is going to help a lot of people that go through it in the future. I know I can relate. 😍 🤟
You make freedom very contagious; you're creating even when you don't realize it
Your vlogs are like therapy to me. A quiet serenity, a soft introspection. A feeling of discovering who I once was, but at the same time who I will be. Thank you and Happy New Year
I truly adore you. thank you for existing and thank you for your videos
Shayna you are the best ever. I swear every single video of yours is worth more than solid gold. Thank you ENDLESSLY for sharing yourself with us
Beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your soul with us Shayna!
You are A JOY!!! I'm soooooooo glad I found you!!!! 😆 😆 😆
Its nice to see how you are living your best life! Lovely art work .
I spend new year alone. Its lovely. I listen to.music I love, films I enjoy, I don't share my favourite takeaway and go to bed when I want. I even spend it in different places in the silence and its joyful
the contrast between the serious and inspirational instrumental music that was playing while you were crunking and dancing so playfully made me giggle. thank you for sharing your light, you are loved
Wow I really wasn't expecting to enjoy the poetry. I would actually purchase the book.
I loved watching this vlog! Thank you for sharing your authentic self Shayna and the reality of how you are taking the processing of starting anew and starting a new year ❤️I set my intention for this new year as 'coming home' and trying to tap back into that personal authenticity.
I can’t express how much these videos mean to me xx feel like we’re going through it together xx
for the past year or two ive started each morning by saying "today will be a good day!" and starting off your day on a positive note is so much more powerful than people think, even if its just by whispering a little "thank you" or saying to yourself, or even just opening your eyes and smiling! it tricks the brain and makes it into a habit! :)
