Amy, your videos are always so inspiring. This video was especially eye-opening, as I've been struggling with this idea. Thank you so much for all the amazing videos! Your hard work truly makes a difference!

1. working = putting effort that something you WILL achieve 2. making experiences > tv 3. scrolling = lack of control 4. achieve things in real life than on games 5. spend time with loved ones
@@CrypticCyber yeah I think it's about consuming entertainment in a mindful way, not just to unplug our brain at the end of the day. Watching anime while exercising at the gym is such a smart idea. As it keeps you motivated it's so positive, you'll for sure reach goals you'll be so proud of. I watch a lot of anime during the day while working (I'm self employed and I do a manual job), and it keeps me motivated and inspired on top of helping me learning Japanese while discovering wonderful stories, so I see nothing negative in that.
when you said 'in life, with all the things that are out of our control, why would i want to put one more thing outside of my control?' i had to pause the video to process that, it blew my mind. social media has such a grasp on people that we don't even realise that we're being controlled by it, every night i love laying down and watching youtube after work instead of doing something meaningful. and what for? why do i give youtube control over my life? when did that happen? and why did i not notice? i'm subscribing asap.
this comment highlight important thing that i've missed from the video. I was just working and listening for this video and at the end of the video she mentioned that she wanted to make this comment section as a sharing place, i got interested to read the comment section. and this comment makes me realize, that is so freaking true. Social media are made to makes us addicted and spend most of our time to social media. i always wonder how people makes time to study more or to do freelance job, when i, after office hours feels so tired and so not enough time. After having some thought, i think social media are taking too much time in my life. there's so much unneeded information i got from social media. I think i will do some social media detox
Hi, Ami! Yesterday I spent 24 hours without using my phone. Recently I haven't had any motivation for the simplest activities, so I decided that I would spend this day taking advantage of every moment for myself. I learned that every time I sat on the bed to relax with my phone in my hand as usual, I simply didn't do anything useful, that I did it out of habit, because I was bored. Now I know that when I am bored or tired, it will be better to use this time differently. I can admit that this day will remain in my memory as one of the best days of my life. I felt like I was living every second without interruption for some useless information from TH-cam or Tik Tok.
Wow, this comment is also eye opening. I've been feeling the same as you recently, and I think I'll try doing this tomorrow or sometime this week. Thank you for this!
Hi wow!! I’m super impressed - amazing job! Thank you so much for sharing. I’m really happy to hear that you had one of your best days and that this will encourage you to do it more!
@@puru_rurin Essentially, every time I am having trouble finding the motivation to do something productive, I just imagine myself as a player commanding my sim to go and start the task! This is especially helpful as someone with inattentive ADHD. Additionally, I imagine myself "gaining skill" whenever I'm playing an instrument, drawing, exercising, socializing, etc
I agree with the need for the meaning part. But the rest of points depends on a person. I love books and shows that let me experience different lives, worlds, and emotions.
Yea I agree with you too. I enjoy watching anime and reading manga they have so many morals books and shows too. But yea mindset is so important ppl think action advice is important. To do action you'll need a good mindset
"Believe that whatever you're pursuing that that is already part of your destiny and all you have to do is continue putting in the actions to get there" 4:38
I really love these points. However, I feel compelled to say that I feel that there is nothing wrong with playing video games by yourself sometimes, or doing other time-passing things by yourself for fun. With that said, I think it's important to be intentional with the time that you spend and where you spend it. I think it's fine to allow yourself to spend an hour playing video games or 2 hours watching TV as long as you follow through with the intention of setting that time boundary for yourself. If you unintentionally spend the rest of the night playing video games, then that can become a problem. Sometimes I think of it as not a waste of time, but how one CHOOSES to spend that time. Again, love the video and all the pointers! Keep shining Amy :)
1. work = moving toward something you already know you can achieve 2. watching tv = not giving yourself memories 3. scrolling = lack of control 4. video games = holding me back from levelling up in life 5. time with loved ones = rest and recharge
This is so true, it's all about mindset. I still remember the first year of covid being so productive for me as opposed to others. I am in the last year of my high school and i am craving that discipline that i had when i was just 13 years old. It makes me realize that if my younger self can do it then surely there is something wrong with my approach towards life in general and i must fix it. Thanks for that awakening. Only the right mindset can yield something fruitful, preach that!
Ur comment is soooo relatable. I miss my 12 years old me. She was so determined, focused, would fight her very best to achieve her goal. Now I'm no longer her 😭
Hi Amy, I am one of the silent watcher of your videos but today I really wanted to appreciate the dedication and hardwork you put in to improve our mindset there was one quote I heard "We rise by lifting others"😁 and you are one of the rare people who follows it. I will really appreciate your efforts one day when I grow up.
I'm a Christian so I usually use the Bible to reframe things. Recently I started doing that with work and instead of a chore it became a gift I can thank God for and something I can use to bless others. Thanks to that work changed into something really meaningful and easier to do. Great video. Have a nice day. ❤ EDIT: I see a lot of people ask me, how I reframe work using Bible verses. Bear with me, it's gonna be long. First, I checked what I tell myself about work on a daily basis. Usually it's things like: "I feel completely unqualified for this task", "I'm too stressed about it to even start doing it", "I can't focus at all, why bother trying". Then I searched for the Bible verses to combat these thoughts and reframe how I see work. For now I mostly use: Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me", 1 Peter 5:7: "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you", Ephesians 4:28: "Anyone [...] must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need". Now whenever I'm about to work and my brain goes into anxiety mode again, I remind myself of the first two verses and ask God to give me everything that I need to work well, trusting that He will help me. After I finish my tasks for the day, I thank Him for His help. That way, working becomes a gift from Him, not just a chore. And for the moments when I question why I'm even working, I remind myself of the third verse - that there are people out there who can benefit from me doing my tasks well. Maybe someone will need money from me in the future, and thanks to working hard, I will be able to help. Maybe the article I'm writing for work will be found by someone in need of it - it would be a good idea to put effort into writing it. And so on. Of course, these are just examples based on my own struggles - your brain could be demonizing work in another way, which means you could need different Bible verses to reframe it. Hope that helps!

I've been off of social media since June and it's been really life-changing. I only go on TH-cam to still feel a sense of community, but also be more intentional with what I am exposed to. I find that being in this self-improvement niche encourages me to think likewise. You really are as strong-minded as the people you surround yourself with or the concepts that float around your everyday life! The path towards my goals that have felt so out of reach became much clearer when I removed all of the unnecessary distractions that were controlling my life.
I see and partially agree by what you mean. Would like to share my thoughts as an introvert (or maybe ambivert? As I change depending on my mood and state of mind) I see her advice to recharge with people as one of the ways that worked for her. Honestly, we all need to recharge or socialize to a certain extent to maintain a healthy mindset. In my experience, even hobbies sometimes become like work, that I need to do this because I (or am supposed to) like this. That is just my personality, not so deep. So even as an introvert, depending on the people around, your own state of mind, what activities you do together, etc. parameters, socializing helps and is one of the methods recommended. It could be to simply exist with a friend who does their own thing and you do your own. You are just in the same space together. Would like to know if you have different thoughts or experiences.
I am introvert but when pandemic and quarantine started, i realize how true one of Maslow's heirarchy of needs which is love and belongingness aka social circle. No matter how introvert u are, u always need people to talk with. Introverts are just selective to people they connect.
My dream was to become a dentist, so I worked hard throughout high school. Unfortunately, I didn't get the results I needed on my finals and got waitlisted. I've been watching your videos through summer break, and I'm ready to make an academic comeback this year! I'm gonna redo my exams and ACE them. I definitely believe that I can do anything I set my mind to as long as I value the 24 hours I have every single day! In my culture, and throughout my life, I've valued my family a lot, and I think I struggled to balance school and relationships. But I finally found a youtube who actually has similar values as me! Thank you for sharing the things you know. If I get into dentistry, I'll really feel like I owe a lot of it to you!
@@randomdds everyone has different passions and people find enjoyment & life satisfaction from different things, this person may get that from dentistry. if you feel different and like there are better professions in the world, maybe its time to re-evaluate and think about if your career path is making you content, and if it isn't, what small/big changes could you make to make yourself content ♥
I've consistently been first in my class since I was six, and I'm currently in eleventh grade. Back then, I didn't study much, but this summer, I suddenly started studying every day, leading others around me to believe that I wanted to be the best at everything. The truth is that I had higher expectations. Sure, being at the top is cool, but getting the career I wanted was my main goal, and achieving that goal involved more than just studying hard. Despite spending hours studying every day, I never got tired of it; in fact, I grew accustomed to it since I enjoyed it and knew it would lead me down the road I desired. You expressed exactly how I felt. Rather than going through social media, I help my mom around the house, look after my siblings as I am the oldest, and hang out with my close friends. In order to enjoy the process and learn more every day, I believe it is vital to make sure you are doing it because you want to rather than just because you have to.
I'm literally so grateful to you and you're one of the reasons I'll be scoring a distinction on all three of my subjects. I watched one of your videos talking about attention span and I haven't scrolled a single yt short/reel on insta since that. I had been procrastinating for so long but it was because of that video that i got the inspiration to actually start working for what's going to be mine. And now this video is again a boost of motivation to me, I was going to take a nap but now, after I finish writing this, I'll straight up start my pomodoro timer and start studying. Thanks again❤
Never have I ever watched your video and not taken something valuable from it. This is my fourth time coming across your content, and I'm always enlightened by the realizations you help me discover about my potential and purpose. Please keep doing what you do. you're underrated, but the best out there on yt
Hey! People it's fine if you are struggling. Sometimes life isn't easy and sometimes it's better to seek a professional advice. I thought watching videos like this would change me but no and it got worse. Depression is not joke (I have it for 6years now), don't blame yourself. Life is hard . Please be safe and healthy!
I beg to differ about video games...I have made many many wonderful friendships made through video games irl and they have fullfilled me in other parts of my life, like helping me get a job and generally being a great influence learning from these wonderful people.
Hi! Thanks for sharing that video games have been helpful for socializing! It’s important to be discerning about advice because the video is about working harder and how we can more easily do that, which for many people includes playing fewer games. If games make you bond, then it would be considered productive :)
She resonates every point that even David Goggins also said. 1. Do something meaningful - Find your vulnerabilities and start acting. 2. Meaning comes from pride and desire to achieve your best version - The purpose is always you. 3. Bond with other people and get off addictions - You get lazy and fall for this because you forgot how bad it was for you. It's an practice you do everyday.
I started watching your videos this week and they’ve helped so much. Just earlier this week I got in trouble for not doing my homework, and now I’m doing it as soon as I get home. Thank you, Amy 😁
Hi Amy! I just want to say thank you for your dedication to make all of your videos on TH-cam. It all really helpful. Hope you and your family will always happy! 🥰
i often felt like why am i doing these? I am studying for what? Aren't I living my parent's dream. But then I realized I have a motive in life, I dont want to just live an average life regretting I want to make memories get into the college I love than just yapping about it. Thanks amy this really helped me understand how do I understand myself and focus.
The mentality of Human Capital is something that Facebook greatly encourages. It makes everyone vain in thinking that whatever they accomplish and how others view them, is what matters in life. And that if a person does not have the accomplishments or things that impress others, that person isn't worth anything (they have low Human Capital).
i love it, really appreciate your video ! The man who tries to find happiness in life would never find happiness, happiness lies in the process of finding meanings of life, and meaning lies in the process of getting beyond of ourselves and try to be the best version of ourselves !
The last one really helped me. I am taking summer classes online and am back home for now. I have been having the best conversations with my older sister. We have grown as people so much and love who we are becoming. My sister is unfortunately sick and may not have very much time left. I know that I have school work and other responsibilities, but I will start more to give her time to just chill and have fun. I have been using much of my free time to play video games and watch movies after doing school work, I will reduce those times drastically to make more memories with her and other family members. Thank you so much for this video, especially for that last one, I will no longer see it as a waste of time or taking time away from school work when we have 2-3 hours convos and have it eat into video game/media time instead.
Hi, thanks for your courage in sharing. I am sorry to hear about your sister, but it is great you know now to cherish your time with your loved ones. Wishing you and your family the best
One of your advice literally changed my life. In one video you said that no matter how hard or how mean my proffersor i will end up with the result that i want. It was something like that and you showed how you worked on those hard subjects. So i too found some resources for my hard subjects and worked hard on them. Guss what, i ended up with A passes. While my some other clever classmates get low results for those subjects, i got A passes. I'm really thankful for your videos, they always motivate me.
Hey Amy, I am a girl who is currently in class 11.In india we actually complete high school in 10th class. I found your channel while scrolling through shorts on TH-cam. There you had mentioned that you were a VALEDICTORIAN. And at that time I didn't know what valedictorian was. Then I discovered that the valedictorian is someone who comes first among all aispairents who give the exam for high school graduation from your school. And tyen I was like, 'being valedictorian is really cool' so I started studying hard and following your tips. In midtimes I was like why amy is not being aesthetic but then one day I realized that aesthetics are there just to make us a little happier but the reality is never going to be that much aesthetic. There I realized that out of many people out here you are teaching us all the true values😊. And my hard work finally paid off. I finally became the valedictorian. 🎉🎉 And I really want to tell you that if I didn't know about you, I would not have that amount of motivation. This video of yours had give me alot to think about. Inspired by you I also have started my own TH-cam channel just to enjoy my studies. And to the A team. Because of y'all guys I have been doing really great in studying. Once again I thank you from the bottom of my heart💖💖 Yours truly, Perfectionista 🫶
Hi Perfectionista!! I’m so so grateful you’re part of the A-Team and am amazed at what you achieved! I was so happy and shocked at how you said my video led to you becoming valedictorian - it also means you had the potential all along, which is the message I try to spread. Thanks for taking the time to share with me this amazing achievement and story :) ❤️
@@wamyy5 You're so welcome amy, And we all really appreciate that you are taking this much efforts to build a community where everyone feels empowered. Keep going girl🦋🦋
Amy!❤ you inspire me so much! I’m just a teenage girl and the pass few weeks I’ve been confused on what to do and where to start, and now I have confidence and perseverance!!! Without you I wouldn’t have been able to block out my negative thoughts that were telling me “I wasn’t intelligent enough” or “I lost my chance to learn in my childhood” Thank you!!!!!! ❤
My experience with academics is a painful one. Until I was 12, my parents put in a lot of effort to push me to do well, and so I did and that motivated me to continue the streak of being the topper at everything. I did not use a phone back then, my goal in life back then was academic domination. Then, I entered high school (my school's called high school, ages 13-18, anyways) and it was basically a school for the gifted, super accelerated in STEM and I got so demotivated by the geniuses around me. My parents didn't interfere with my studies much anymore at that points. My grades went down the rut, and that lasted a year and a half until I decided enough was enough, then ended up doing really well at the end of my second year. After that, in year 3, I thought I would continue the streak of excellence I just started again. However, the fact that I was a time-waste-prone person still had not changed. I ended up performing, cohort-average-like that year. This year, I thought I was going to have my academic comeback. A semester lapsed, I actually failed my Physics exam, just passed my Math exam, and a subject I always prided myself on, English, dropped to a new new low of a B. I performed worse than expected for Biology, the subject I am most passionate about. Days after this, I fell into a cycle of extremely low self-confidence, trying to forget I was a failure, and what stood out to me the most is that the single true vision of myself that I had in my head was the one who topped every subject, and scored one of the top marks in the country, and got into the most competitive high school in the country. And lastly, made my parents the most proud. I am now at the most expensive school, and my parents do make it a point to tell me every single time about how I am wasting away their hardwork. And I understand, truly. However, my vision now is to get back into that successful sense of self that I used to be in. That feeling of wanting to score the highest possible grades. It's a new semester, however, I do feel that my old habits have not changed. However, I am trying so hard. I am consulting all my subject teachers weekly, and trying to put in effort to stay on top of all my academics, despite the rigour. Although it is true that I am undertaking the hardest academic curriculum possible here, the country of the smartest Asian students collapsed into one, I am going to stop making the excuse for myself that it is okay to be mediocre within that crowd. The most important thing to remember is my potential, which I know is far above mediocre, even in this school. So I am going to make it happen, and hopefully in 5 months, y'all will see an update to this story about my academic comeback ❤
Be proud of how hard you're working, but make sure to stay healthy and move when you can! You can do this!!! It sounds like you're smart and dedicated, so you have what it takes, even if you fall off from time to time. Best of luck!
Hi Amy Wang, I struggle a lot with working and I sometimes don’t understand how to work too much or too little. I struggle (I know I already said struggle) too much with simple tasks and it’s overwhelming but I always try and never give up. After discovering your TH-cam channel I felt more connected to those around me and I realized that I am emotionally intelligent. You are amazing Amy Wang, I want to discover more about you and recently I have gotten interested in Computer Science and you helped me reach my potential. I appreciate your hard work. I will strive to be a better person thanks to you!
the point about social media controlling our lives is so apt, but it's rarely mentioned. with already too much outside our control, why let another thing get added into that list. beautiful!
Hi Amy, I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much I absolutely love your videos! They are incredibly helpful, and I always feel so much more confident in my studies after watching them. Your hard work and dedication really shine through in everything you do, and it inspires me to work harder. Thank you for all the effort you put into creating such amazing content!
Wow, this hits so close to home. As a 20-year-old who just graduated and now working full-time, my dreams don’t quite align with society’s typical path. I’m determined to become a full-time trader, and I have complete confidence in my abilities to get there. On top of that, health and fitness are huge priorities for me, which is why I wake up at 5 a.m. to run, meal prep before work, and hit the gym afterward. When people see my schedule, they often ask how I stay so motivated or keep up with it all. But to be honest, it doesn’t feel like a chore, in-fact, it excites me! I feel a passion and drive to get better every day and reach my goals. I absolutely relate to this video. That said, I make sure to spend 30 minutes every night with my partner and unwind with my family on weekends. But this is the life I love, and I say with confidence that I will eventually become a successful trader and I will compete in my first bodybuilding show in 2027. Great video, keep it up!
Just subscribed to Amy recently and this is the second video I’ve watched. I’m ready to reframe my mindset and stop making excuses. Going to get more serious on my content creation!
Hey Amy, this video was really interesting, i really appreciate when you make videos on topics like this. And as a 10th grader , with lots of expectations of my Asian parents , i feel overwhelmed and pressured to get those A+. Earlier I got so anxious and distressed while studying for my exams because i only used to think about my marks and my class rank. But I'm glad that I've found a way to escape this loop hole. Now, I always try to enjoy what I'm doing, whether its studying , participating in debates, extempores, writing competition or basketball,. After I joined this beautiful motivating inspiring A-team I'm performing much much better in school and life. I can finally manage my time to work on my hobbies, to play basketball and to spend time with my family. AND I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO REFRAME THESE THINGS , its going to be easier for me as i'm not addicted to social media. THANKYOU SO MUCH , it really helps a lot. ♥
I'm glad you're enjoying and doing so many fun things aswell like basketball as you mentioned! Please don't let go of your hobbies! That's one of the things I really regret not doing last year and now that I'm in grade 11 and there's competitive pressure and entrance exam stuff so I've to work alot, and don't get time for hobbies (like I completely stopped drawing for like 5-6 months now) However I'm trying to implement drawing and excercise during my study breaks. Anyway I'm glad you're enjoying your time, and please don't feel pressureised, just be consistent and keep working hard in a way you enjoy! P.S, fun fact, last year in 10th grade school topper had the exact same name as your first name in your username 😅
Hey Amy i have this video on my watchlist for a while but today i want to watch it and i click it.... And i thought that's what everyone wants in their life . "Leveled up"
Amy, you don't know just how much this changed my mindset. Like very literally, i've heard so many people say "you need to make life meaningful" but i don't think anybody's ever put it in this particular way for me to understand. that part really made me think that our brains want us to chase instant happiness, while we should be trying to chase meaning and fulfilment. thanks a bunch.
i might have just watched the best video of the year! Moving out of my family for university two years ago, I had really lost the point of life, didn't see the point in eating and all. All of this made me understand that I should find a meaning in the things I do, I had lost it (or not lost but realized there was a meaning when I lived back home but wasn't aware of that at that time) by living alone and having too much with myself. It's something I had understood and discussed with a few professors at uni. However I still struggled to clearly understand what that "meaning" was and your video finally helped me understand what areas I should insist on in the future. Thank you so much!
Thank u for this video! Since 11th grade, just when I moved away from my parents and my siblings, I felt really lonely and depressed and this video has led me to new realizations
yeah she literally told me waht ia m doing with my life right now as just thinking of doing it rather than actually putting some efforts ily sm girl this was my first time here and it really helped me a lot ty again
First of all, I want thank you for this video. I have been going through a few life changes and have been reading a lot of self-improvement books. Your video provides a different view on a few topics I read and helped me to have a eureka moment.
Omggggg Amy the whole video is just so logical I loved this concept that *if you have excitement and some meaningful work to do, you wont be bored and won't need to fill that time with entertainment* 🧡
Amy, thank you so much for posting. Your videos are super inspiring and it makes me want to get up and start doing my homework again (which I've been slacking off of)
I love your videos, they've helped me become more away. Reframing scrolling as a lack of control really struck something in me. That, and TV as not creating new memories. You've inspired me to not waste my time and add meaning to my life
Very valuable video, and this is definitely true. Having meaning is the difference between feeling fulfilled with your life or not. However, the entertainment section is entirely subjective. Outdoorsy people only watch shows or read books when they’re bored, but some of us actually love storytelling and need to engage with it in order to feel fulfilled too. Watching a show or reading a book isn’t a waste of time if you’re selective with what you pick up, and they 100% are experiences too! Our experiences don’t just happen outside of the house or with other people. Not to mention we all need art in our lives, and to say that we don’t is to act like every story written to this day has been useless.
This is the first video of your channel that I watch. I really liked it. Meaning is so important, I've learned so much about myself the last few years that I start doing some random projects by myself because, for me, they are important and very meaningful. Thank you !
Your the most realistic and accurate person I've seen on TH-cam. It's really true that the world isn't in the gadgets but the people around you, experiences and all. Lots of love❤
Your videos helped me work towards my goals, Watching your videos feel like I have a team and am not alone, social media is filled with show-off people and far from reality.
This video really help me understand why I do the things I do and why I want to do it. Amy channel is just so incredible, it just has some of the most valuable information. Amy you're one of my biggest motivation to keep trying. Thanks Amy for this incredible pieces of information.
easily you clic me up what i've been learning in courses in simply but clear phrases easy going but meaningful. love it ! hope this week ill see the effect of it
Hi Amy. I just wanted you to know that I really enjoy your videos and I learned a lot about myself and how to cope with different situations. This mindset-action and reframing mindset is amazing. I will definitely use it in my daily life. Thank you so much. I’m looking forward to every video!
This is honestly the most practical and paradigm shifting approach to go about managing my life (as a college student hoping to graduate with a first class honours). I am so glad to have come across this channel cause I relate to Amy’s mindset and fits perfectly with where I want to go. Back in my high school days I was one of the top students that graduated with straight As and was always at the top. Though I didn’t get to be the top by being naturally “smart” or anything but through my hard work, commitment and my work ethic that I consistently built as I went. This is just what I needed to hear to sharpen my saw and get in to flow of working towards my goals of achieving the best possible outcome from my college experience and reach my long term goals. This is much needed advice, thanks a lot Amy!
I felt exactly the same way about Tiktok. I didn't want random stuff thrown in my face and still don't. I want to be selective in how I spend my time, even if I'm "wasting" my time. Good points all around.
Thank you dear, I really appreciate your sharing ❤ I believe in the power of the mindset my self, I even think it's more powerful than "actions" !! If you have the right mindset and the right intention as well, your actions will be on the right path..
Sometimes people are also around the type of people that inadvertently discourage them (maybe it's not on purpose but the result is the same). What I found that helps me is to be brave & stay true to myself & goals regardless of what's around me; a dialogue between me & me. Guilt & shame is not the same as accountability & compassion. I've also been prioritising relationships & communication a lot more. Even if I don't feel like I'm good at it or have a lot to offer, that's where compassion comes in. It's who I am rn & where I'm currently at. I accept that and help myself for tomorrow. Don't fall into the guilt-and-rot death loop (DON'T!!!). Even if you are alone, like me, there are ways to ground yourself. Courage is sometimes quiet, like the roots holding a tree in the wind. It's the small tasks, the boring repetitive tasks, when you reach out to someone, even when you're finding it out on your own - the days you sit & commit your time to it. Whoever sees this, you're resilient & capable
This is sooo good and totally different. Really would look at these distractions in a different way. I think I need to watch this video everyday in the morning, to reframe my life. Thanks a lot Amy!!
I’m watching your videos and now I consider you as my older sister because I started to give meaning to all advices and reframes you say, is being helpful to organize my ideas about my life, thank you so much for that (English is not my first language btw, sorry if there’s mistakes)
i am working on my art goals rn and this helping alot to realise that my time isnt wasted, i also play games for 1-3 hours every evening but that is because i am actually trying to actively become a twitch streamer and i enjoy it and like learning new things about the game i like, i think its fine to do that if its something you are actually trying to get better at and improve in, but if you dont wanna do anything that has to do with video games it can suck your time away for sure, i have been addicted to games before and its not fun at all
Solid advice, thank you! It's always valuable to see what successful peoples' systems are like, so I can see where my own systems can be improved. I like the last tip a lot; it has definitely been my experience that doing things for others is massively more motivating and rewarding than doing them for yourself. I would point out, though, that not everyone finds social experiences to be "recharging". That's certainly true of extroverts, but introverts can actually find social interactions to be exhausting, and their version of "recharging" actually involves getting in some alone time. Just my $0.02! Thanks again!

Omggg i recommended that u put podcasts on Spotifyyy

1. working = putting effort that something you WILL achieve
2. making experiences > tv
3. scrolling = lack of control
4. achieve things in real life than on games
5. spend time with loved ones
Thank you for this summary
Ok I am not finding anything fruitful in the video
the 5th one is tricky
@@studyrankers7210 it's productivity slop, it's supposed to make you feel good while you procrastinate on doing useful things
Thanks for this. A real time saver!
'watching TV = not giving yourself memories'- so eye opening
I watch TV or anime when I'm running at the Gym so the time flies by and it also makes me want to go to the gym more
@@CrypticCyber yeah I think it's about consuming entertainment in a mindful way, not just to unplug our brain at the end of the day. Watching anime while exercising at the gym is such a smart idea. As it keeps you motivated it's so positive, you'll for sure reach goals you'll be so proud of. I watch a lot of anime during the day while working (I'm self employed and I do a manual job), and it keeps me motivated and inspired on top of helping me learning Japanese while discovering wonderful stories, so I see nothing negative in that.
Amy really do be out here saving peoples lives
FRR
True,... fr😂
She saved mine . lol 😂🥺💖🥰 I love Amy . She brings so much meaning into my life.
Frr
Jesus Christ is the only one that can truly save you ! Seek Him :)
my father always said "work without looking at the clock so you can spend without looking at your wallet"
Nice one funny it took me a second to realised
Work without looking at the clock so u don't have to look at the picetag
@@YuvanNair yeah, i just translated from my main language to english
@@aumondi21 yeah it's allg I got mine from a vid so yea urs def better🤣
work to buy??? that's a road towards never ending consumerism and possibly dissatisfaction
when you said 'in life, with all the things that are out of our control, why would i want to put one more thing outside of my control?' i had to pause the video to process that, it blew my mind. social media has such a grasp on people that we don't even realise that we're being controlled by it, every night i love laying down and watching youtube after work instead of doing something meaningful. and what for? why do i give youtube control over my life? when did that happen? and why did i not notice? i'm subscribing asap.
Your comment made my day. Helping great people like you realize their potential is why I do what I do. Thank you ❤
this comment highlight important thing that i've missed from the video. I was just working and listening for this video and at the end of the video she mentioned that she wanted to make this comment section as a sharing place, i got interested to read the comment section.
and this comment makes me realize, that is so freaking true.
Social media are made to makes us addicted and spend most of our time to social media.
i always wonder how people makes time to study more or to do freelance job, when i, after office hours feels so tired and so not enough time. After having some thought, i think social media are taking too much time in my life.
there's so much unneeded information i got from social media. I think i will do some social media detox
@@harryyanto480 yes!! I did that recently and it was amazing :) you can do it!
This comment ❤❤
Hi, Ami!
Yesterday I spent 24 hours without using my phone. Recently I haven't had any motivation for the simplest activities, so I decided that I would spend this day taking advantage of every moment for myself. I learned that every time I sat on the bed to relax with my phone in my hand as usual, I simply didn't do anything useful, that I did it out of habit, because I was bored. Now I know that when I am bored or tired, it will be better to use this time differently. I can admit that this day will remain in my memory as one of the best days of my life. I felt like I was living every second without interruption for some useless information from TH-cam or Tik Tok.
Wow, this comment is also eye opening. I've been feeling the same as you recently, and I think I'll try doing this tomorrow or sometime this week. Thank you for this!
@@yikers7530 I'm glad I helped.
Wow I wanna do that too but I am addicted to youtube
@@Average_sucksyou can do it!!
Hi wow!! I’m super impressed - amazing job! Thank you so much for sharing. I’m really happy to hear that you had one of your best days and that this will encourage you to do it more!

Yes, yes and especially.. ✨YES✨
I always like to imagine my life as if I'm playing the Sims 4. It makes doing work, gaining skills, and just generally improving myself more fun
I tried that for a day once and it was really fun!! I'll try to incorporate it more again :D
@@yikers7530thank you for replying and keeping the conversation going ❤
Oml that sounds smart, can you tell me how exactly you went about doing that
@@puru_rurin Essentially, every time I am having trouble finding the motivation to do something productive, I just imagine myself as a player commanding my sim to go and start the task! This is especially helpful as someone with inattentive ADHD. Additionally, I imagine myself "gaining skill" whenever I'm playing an instrument, drawing, exercising, socializing, etc
Playing sims 4 motivates me to get my life in order.
I agree with the need for the meaning part. But the rest of points depends on a person. I love books and shows that let me experience different lives, worlds, and emotions.
I relate to this so much books are such an outlet that let me experience other worlds 😊
Yea I agree with you too. I enjoy watching anime and reading manga they have so many morals books and shows too. But yea mindset is so important ppl think action advice is important. To do action you'll need a good mindset
"Believe that whatever you're pursuing that that is already part of your destiny and all you have to do is continue putting in the actions to get there" 4:38
Amy is like that one friend who shares their lunch with you when you forget to bring money(its a compliment)
Aww too sweet ❤
Yaa ❤
I really love these points. However, I feel compelled to say that I feel that there is nothing wrong with playing video games by yourself sometimes, or doing other time-passing things by yourself for fun. With that said, I think it's important to be intentional with the time that you spend and where you spend it. I think it's fine to allow yourself to spend an hour playing video games or 2 hours watching TV as long as you follow through with the intention of setting that time boundary for yourself. If you unintentionally spend the rest of the night playing video games, then that can become a problem. Sometimes I think of it as not a waste of time, but how one CHOOSES to spend that time.
Again, love the video and all the pointers! Keep shining Amy :)
Yep, just we shouldn't mindlessly play them, and let them control us. And set a set time!!
1. work = moving toward something you already know you can achieve
2. watching tv = not giving yourself memories
3. scrolling = lack of control
4. video games = holding me back from levelling up in life
5. time with loved ones = rest and recharge
This is so true, it's all about mindset. I still remember the first year of covid being so productive for me as opposed to others. I am in the last year of my high school and i am craving that discipline that i had when i was just 13 years old. It makes me realize that if my younger self can do it then surely there is something wrong with my approach towards life in general and i must fix it. Thanks for that awakening. Only the right mindset can yield something fruitful, preach that!
this is my life story
good luck for your final year
@@AutumnZephyrStar thanks! It's the college part that's stressful, but we'll get through it! All the best for your endeavors as well!!
Ur comment is soooo relatable. I miss my 12 years old me. She was so determined, focused, would fight her very best to achieve her goal. Now I'm no longer her 😭
Hi Amy,
I am one of the silent watcher of your videos but today I really wanted to appreciate the dedication and hardwork you put in to improve our mindset there was one quote I heard "We rise by lifting others"😁 and you are one of the rare people who follows it. I will really appreciate your efforts one day when I grow up.
So honored to receive one of your comments. Thanks for your kind words ❤ looking forward to seeing how you progress!
And yes, I totally believe in “raising all boats”!
I'm a Christian so I usually use the Bible to reframe things. Recently I started doing that with work and instead of a chore it became a gift I can thank God for and something I can use to bless others. Thanks to that work changed into something really meaningful and easier to do.
Great video. Have a nice day. ❤
EDIT: I see a lot of people ask me, how I reframe work using Bible verses. Bear with me, it's gonna be long.
First, I checked what I tell myself about work on a daily basis. Usually it's things like:
"I feel completely unqualified for this task",
"I'm too stressed about it to even start doing it",
"I can't focus at all, why bother trying".
Then I searched for the Bible verses to combat these thoughts and reframe how I see work. For now I mostly use:
Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me",
1 Peter 5:7: "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you",
Ephesians 4:28: "Anyone [...] must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need".
Now whenever I'm about to work and my brain goes into anxiety mode again, I remind myself of the first two verses and ask God to give me everything that I need to work well, trusting that He will help me. After I finish my tasks for the day, I thank Him for His help. That way, working becomes a gift from Him, not just a chore.
And for the moments when I question why I'm even working, I remind myself of the third verse - that there are people out there who can benefit from me doing my tasks well. Maybe someone will need money from me in the future, and thanks to working hard, I will be able to help. Maybe the article I'm writing for work will be found by someone in need of it - it would be a good idea to put effort into writing it. And so on.
Of course, these are just examples based on my own struggles - your brain could be demonizing work in another way, which means you could need different Bible verses to reframe it.
Hope that helps!
Can you please explain more how you used bible to reframe work, I am curious to know more please
I’d like to hear how you did this. Thanks!

@@ugwukelechi4138I've just edited my comment to include explanations. 😊
I've been off of social media since June and it's been really life-changing. I only go on TH-cam to still feel a sense of community, but also be more intentional with what I am exposed to. I find that being in this self-improvement niche encourages me to think likewise. You really are as strong-minded as the people you surround yourself with or the concepts that float around your everyday life! The path towards my goals that have felt so out of reach became much clearer when I removed all of the unnecessary distractions that were controlling my life.
to say "you recharge while being with people" is such an extroverted thing to say.
spot on! 💯
I see and partially agree by what you mean. Would like to share my thoughts as an introvert (or maybe ambivert? As I change depending on my mood and state of mind) I see her advice to recharge with people as one of the ways that worked for her. Honestly, we all need to recharge or socialize to a certain extent to maintain a healthy mindset. In my experience, even hobbies sometimes become like work, that I need to do this because I (or am supposed to) like this. That is just my personality, not so deep. So even as an introvert, depending on the people around, your own state of mind, what activities you do together, etc. parameters, socializing helps and is one of the methods recommended. It could be to simply exist with a friend who does their own thing and you do your own. You are just in the same space together. Would like to know if you have different thoughts or experiences.
I am introvert but when pandemic and quarantine started, i realize how true one of Maslow's heirarchy of needs which is love and belongingness aka social circle. No matter how introvert u are, u always need people to talk with. Introverts are just selective to people they connect.
Yeah it can be fun, but afterwards im usually drained 😂
Right people can actually recharge introverts too
My dream was to become a dentist, so I worked hard throughout high school. Unfortunately, I didn't get the results I needed on my finals and got waitlisted. I've been watching your videos through summer break, and I'm ready to make an academic comeback this year! I'm gonna redo my exams and ACE them. I definitely believe that I can do anything I set my mind to as long as I value the 24 hours I have every single day! In my culture, and throughout my life, I've valued my family a lot, and I think I struggled to balance school and relationships. But I finally found a youtube who actually has similar values as me! Thank you for sharing the things you know. If I get into dentistry, I'll really feel like I owe a lot of it to you!
You will do it ! Your motivation is your key, don't give up !!!
As a dentist, why be a dentist?
There's way better professions in the world.
@@randomdds everyone has different passions and people find enjoyment & life satisfaction from different things, this person may get that from dentistry. if you feel different and like there are better professions in the world, maybe its time to re-evaluate and think about if your career path is making you content, and if it isn't, what small/big changes could you make to make yourself content ♥
Yay yay!!!
Amy you are young, but your wisdom is timeless , what an advanced soul!!
spread the wisdom, and well done for coming through the hard times..
I've consistently been first in my class since I was six, and I'm currently in eleventh grade. Back then, I didn't study much, but this summer, I suddenly started studying every day, leading others around me to believe that I wanted to be the best at everything. The truth is that I had higher expectations. Sure, being at the top is cool, but getting the career I wanted was my main goal, and achieving that goal involved more than just studying hard. Despite spending hours studying every day, I never got tired of it; in fact, I grew accustomed to it since I enjoyed it and knew it would lead me down the road I desired. You expressed exactly how I felt. Rather than going through social media, I help my mom around the house, look after my siblings as I am the oldest, and hang out with my close friends. In order to enjoy the process and learn more every day, I believe it is vital to make sure you are doing it because you want to rather than just because you have to.
scrolling = lack of control. THIS IS GOLD! PURE GOLD!
I'm literally so grateful to you and you're one of the reasons I'll be scoring a distinction on all three of my subjects. I watched one of your videos talking about attention span and I haven't scrolled a single yt short/reel on insta since that. I had been procrastinating for so long but it was because of that video that i got the inspiration to actually start working for what's going to be mine. And now this video is again a boost of motivation to me, I was going to take a nap but now, after I finish writing this, I'll straight up start my pomodoro timer and start studying. Thanks again❤
Out of all these kind of videos I've watched, this is probably the most helpful one I've watched in my entire life.
Never have I ever watched your video and not taken something valuable from it. This is my fourth time coming across your content, and I'm always enlightened by the realizations you help me discover about my potential and purpose. Please keep doing what you do. you're underrated, but the best out there on yt
Hey! People it's fine if you are struggling. Sometimes life isn't easy and sometimes it's better to seek a professional advice. I thought watching videos like this would change me but no and it got worse.
Depression is not joke (I have it for 6years now), don't blame yourself. Life is hard . Please be safe and healthy!
Whatever you do, don’t give up❣️
I beg to differ about video games...I have made many many wonderful friendships made through video games irl and they have fullfilled me in other parts of my life, like helping me get a job and generally being a great influence learning from these wonderful people.
Hi! Thanks for sharing that video games have been helpful for socializing! It’s important to be discerning about advice because the video is about working harder and how we can more easily do that, which for many people includes playing fewer games. If games make you bond, then it would be considered productive :)
… given that it doesn’t take away you think you should be doing! Hope this helps.
real
She resonates every point that even David Goggins also said.
1. Do something meaningful - Find your vulnerabilities and start acting.
2. Meaning comes from pride and desire to achieve your best version - The purpose is always you.
3. Bond with other people and get off addictions - You get lazy and fall for this because you forgot how bad it was for you. It's an practice you do everyday.
I started watching your videos this week and they’ve helped so much. Just earlier this week I got in trouble for not doing my homework, and now I’m doing it as soon as I get home. Thank you, Amy 😁
Hi Amy! I just want to say thank you for your dedication to make all of your videos on TH-cam. It all really helpful. Hope you and your family will always happy! 🥰
You as well ❤️❤️❤️
i often felt like why am i doing these? I am studying for what? Aren't I living my parent's dream. But then I realized I have a motive in life, I dont want to just live an average life regretting I want to make memories get into the college I love than just yapping about it. Thanks amy this really helped me understand how do I understand myself and focus.
The perspective of focusing on the meaning of life rather than chasing happiness is truly something new and thought provoking to me
Thanks amy😊
She really addressed the the bad influences with social media and culture today and the solutions to these problems.
The mentality of Human Capital is something that Facebook greatly encourages. It makes everyone vain in thinking that whatever they accomplish and how others view them, is what matters in life. And that if a person does not have the accomplishments or things that impress others, that person isn't worth anything (they have low Human Capital).
i love it, really appreciate your video !
The man who tries to find happiness in life would never find happiness, happiness lies in the process of finding meanings of life, and meaning lies in the process of getting beyond of ourselves and try to be the best version of ourselves !
My way of studying has become so much better just by following Amy's simple tips
So thanks!!!❤❤
The last one really helped me.
I am taking summer classes online and am back home for now.
I have been having the best conversations with my older sister. We have grown as people so much and love who we are becoming.
My sister is unfortunately sick and may not have very much time left.
I know that I have school work and other responsibilities, but I will start more to give her time to just chill and have fun.
I have been using much of my free time to play video games and watch movies after doing school work, I will reduce those times drastically to make more memories with her and other family members.
Thank you so much for this video, especially for that last one, I will no longer see it as a waste of time or taking time away from school work when we have 2-3 hours convos and have it eat into video game/media time instead.
Hi, thanks for your courage in sharing. I am sorry to hear about your sister, but it is great you know now to cherish your time with your loved ones. Wishing you and your family the best
This is the first time I've watched your video and it is what I'm looking for: to live a wealthy/meaningful life, not a busy life!
One of your advice literally changed my life. In one video you said that no matter how hard or how mean my proffersor i will end up with the result that i want. It was something like that and you showed how you worked on those hard subjects. So i too found some resources for my hard subjects and worked hard on them. Guss what, i ended up with A passes. While my some other clever classmates get low results for those subjects, i got A passes. I'm really thankful for your videos, they always motivate me.
Hey Amy,
I am a girl who is currently in class 11.In india we actually complete high school in 10th class. I found your channel while scrolling through shorts on TH-cam. There you had mentioned that you were a VALEDICTORIAN. And at that time I didn't know what valedictorian was. Then I discovered that the valedictorian is someone who comes first among all aispairents who give the exam for high school graduation from your school. And tyen I was like, 'being valedictorian is really cool' so I started studying hard and following your tips.
In midtimes I was like why amy is not being aesthetic but then one day I realized that aesthetics are there just to make us a little happier but the reality is never going to be that much aesthetic. There I realized that out of many people out here you are teaching us all the true values😊.
And my hard work finally paid off. I finally became the valedictorian. 🎉🎉 And I really want to tell you that if I didn't know about you, I would not have that amount of motivation.
This video of yours had give me alot to think about. Inspired by you I also have started my own TH-cam channel just to enjoy my studies.
And to the A team. Because of y'all guys I have been doing really great in studying.
Once again I thank you from the bottom of my heart💖💖
Yours truly,
Perfectionista 🫶
Hey! 11th grader here too 👋
Hi Perfectionista!! I’m so so grateful you’re part of the A-Team and am amazed at what you achieved! I was so happy and shocked at how you said my video led to you becoming valedictorian - it also means you had the potential all along, which is the message I try to spread. Thanks for taking the time to share with me this amazing achievement and story :) ❤️
@@wamyy5 You're so welcome amy, And we all really appreciate that you are taking this much efforts to build a community where everyone feels empowered. Keep going girl🦋🦋
Amy!❤ you inspire me so much! I’m just a teenage girl and the pass few weeks I’ve been confused on what to do and where to start, and now I have confidence and perseverance!!! Without you I wouldn’t have been able to block out my negative thoughts that were telling me “I wasn’t intelligent enough” or “I lost my chance to learn in my childhood” Thank you!!!!!! ❤
My experience with academics is a painful one. Until I was 12, my parents put in a lot of effort to push me to do well, and so I did and that motivated me to continue the streak of being the topper at everything. I did not use a phone back then, my goal in life back then was academic domination. Then, I entered high school (my school's called high school, ages 13-18, anyways) and it was basically a school for the gifted, super accelerated in STEM and I got so demotivated by the geniuses around me. My parents didn't interfere with my studies much anymore at that points. My grades went down the rut, and that lasted a year and a half until I decided enough was enough, then ended up doing really well at the end of my second year. After that, in year 3, I thought I would continue the streak of excellence I just started again. However, the fact that I was a time-waste-prone person still had not changed. I ended up performing, cohort-average-like that year. This year, I thought I was going to have my academic comeback. A semester lapsed, I actually failed my Physics exam, just passed my Math exam, and a subject I always prided myself on, English, dropped to a new new low of a B. I performed worse than expected for Biology, the subject I am most passionate about. Days after this, I fell into a cycle of extremely low self-confidence, trying to forget I was a failure, and what stood out to me the most is that the single true vision of myself that I had in my head was the one who topped every subject, and scored one of the top marks in the country, and got into the most competitive high school in the country. And lastly, made my parents the most proud. I am now at the most expensive school, and my parents do make it a point to tell me every single time about how I am wasting away their hardwork. And I understand, truly.
However, my vision now is to get back into that successful sense of self that I used to be in. That feeling of wanting to score the highest possible grades.
It's a new semester, however, I do feel that my old habits have not changed. However, I am trying so hard. I am consulting all my subject teachers weekly, and trying to put in effort to stay on top of all my academics, despite the rigour. Although it is true that I am undertaking the hardest academic curriculum possible here, the country of the smartest Asian students collapsed into one, I am going to stop making the excuse for myself that it is okay to be mediocre within that crowd.
The most important thing to remember is my potential, which I know is far above mediocre, even in this school.
So I am going to make it happen, and hopefully in 5 months, y'all will see an update to this story about my academic comeback ❤
Hey don't obsess over the results. Give your best and JUST DO IT!
Be proud of how hard you're working, but make sure to stay healthy and move when you can! You can do this!!! It sounds like you're smart and dedicated, so you have what it takes, even if you fall off from time to time. Best of luck!
@@afridarahmani1911 thank you!!
@@Allison_Wells94 thank you for the motivation and advice!!
All the best! I'm entirely sure that you WILL do it ❤ . Keen for the results xx
Hi Amy Wang,
I struggle a lot with working and I sometimes don’t understand how to work too much or too little. I struggle (I know I already said struggle) too much with simple tasks and it’s overwhelming but I always try and never give up. After discovering your TH-cam channel I felt more connected to those around me and I realized that I am emotionally intelligent.
You are amazing Amy Wang, I want to discover more about you and recently I have gotten interested in Computer Science and you helped me reach my potential. I appreciate your hard work. I will strive to be a better person thanks to you!
the point about social media controlling our lives is so apt, but it's rarely mentioned. with already too much outside our control, why let another thing get added into that list. beautiful!
Hi Amy,
I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much I absolutely love your videos! They are incredibly helpful, and I always feel so much more confident in my studies after watching them. Your hard work and dedication really shine through in everything you do, and it inspires me to work harder. Thank you for all the effort you put into creating such amazing content!
Wow, this hits so close to home. As a 20-year-old who just graduated and now working full-time, my dreams don’t quite align with society’s typical path. I’m determined to become a full-time trader, and I have complete confidence in my abilities to get there. On top of that, health and fitness are huge priorities for me, which is why I wake up at 5 a.m. to run, meal prep before work, and hit the gym afterward. When people see my schedule, they often ask how I stay so motivated or keep up with it all. But to be honest, it doesn’t feel like a chore, in-fact, it excites me! I feel a passion and drive to get better every day and reach my goals. I absolutely relate to this video. That said, I make sure to spend 30 minutes every night with my partner and unwind with my family on weekends. But this is the life I love, and I say with confidence that I will eventually become a successful trader and I will compete in my first bodybuilding show in 2027. Great video, keep it up!
Just subscribed to Amy recently and this is the second video I’ve watched.
I’m ready to reframe my mindset and stop making excuses.
Going to get more serious on my content creation!
Many more people supposed to think like that! Change mindset urgently! 🙏🙏🙏 I hope to be one of them! 😊
Love this! Thank you! Don't stop now! Keep going Sista!
hearing unique and different words is so awesome, Thankyou for being you Amy!!!
Hey Amy, this video was really interesting, i really appreciate when you make videos on topics like this. And as a 10th grader , with lots of expectations of my Asian parents , i feel overwhelmed and pressured to get those A+. Earlier I got so anxious and distressed while studying for my exams because i only used to think about my marks and my class rank. But I'm glad that I've found a way to escape this loop hole. Now, I always try to enjoy what I'm doing, whether its studying , participating in debates, extempores, writing competition or basketball,. After I joined this beautiful motivating inspiring A-team I'm performing much much better in school and life. I can finally manage my time to work on my hobbies, to play basketball and to spend time with my family.
AND I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO REFRAME THESE THINGS , its going to be easier for me as i'm not addicted to social media. THANKYOU SO MUCH , it really helps a lot.
♥
Hi!! That’s so wonderful to hear about the progress you’ve made :) the A-Team is cheering you on! ❤️🥳
@@wamyy5 yss! Always A-Team❤
I'm glad you're enjoying and doing so many fun things aswell like basketball as you mentioned! Please don't let go of your hobbies! That's one of the things I really regret not doing last year and now that I'm in grade 11 and there's competitive pressure and entrance exam stuff so I've to work alot, and don't get time for hobbies (like I completely stopped drawing for like 5-6 months now)
However I'm trying to implement drawing and excercise during my study breaks. Anyway I'm glad you're enjoying your time, and please don't feel pressureised, just be consistent and keep working hard in a way you enjoy!
P.S, fun fact, last year in 10th grade school topper had the exact same name as your first name in your username 😅
❤
@@rihannaCO thanks for helping make our A-team such an amazing community ❤️
your videos are like goldmines, i keep pausing them to take notes, thank you so much amy!!
This is exactly what I was waiting for!!!!! 🧡✨
Ps: I'm happy to see that you are still doing the application!!! Keep going Amy you got this girl! 🧡✨✨
Hey Amy i have this video on my watchlist for a while but today i want to watch it and i click it.... And i thought that's what everyone wants in their life .
"Leveled up"
I felt the video redefining me as I am healing thorough some trauma , so kudos to Amy for helping me recover
I am doing so well this semester thanks to you. Your videos inspired me so much especially the ones about studying. 😊
A lot of wisdom in this video. Thanks for the reminder!
I LITERALLY LOVE THIS CHANNEL SO MUCH!!! ❤❤😍😍😍
Amy, you don't know just how much this changed my mindset. Like very literally, i've heard so many people say "you need to make life meaningful" but i don't think anybody's ever put it in this particular way for me to understand. that part really made me think that our brains want us to chase instant happiness, while we should be trying to chase meaning and fulfilment. thanks a bunch.
i might have just watched the best video of the year! Moving out of my family for university two years ago, I had really lost the point of life, didn't see the point in eating and all. All of this made me understand that I should find a meaning in the things I do, I had lost it (or not lost but realized there was a meaning when I lived back home but wasn't aware of that at that time) by living alone and having too much with myself. It's something I had understood and discussed with a few professors at uni. However I still struggled to clearly understand what that "meaning" was and your video finally helped me understand what areas I should insist on in the future. Thank you so much!
Thank u for this video! Since 11th grade, just when I moved away from my parents and my siblings, I felt really lonely and depressed and this video has led me to new realizations
I genuinely loved this video, thank you! I've indirectly followed through this, but hearing it makes it more real and less left to chance
yeah she literally told me waht ia m doing with my life right now as just thinking of doing it rather than actually putting some efforts ily sm girl this was my first time here and it really helped me a lot ty again
First of all, I want thank you for this video.
I have been going through a few life changes and have been reading a lot of self-improvement books.
Your video provides a different view on a few topics I read and helped me to have a eureka moment.
I think i’ll watch this video every single day now! It was soo clear, so thankful for it! ❤️
Omggggg Amy the whole video is just so logical
I loved this concept that *if you have excitement and some meaningful work to do, you wont be bored and won't need to fill that time with entertainment* 🧡
I never thought I needed a recommended youtube video so much in my life. thank you, Amy 🥺
Amy, thank you so much for posting. Your videos are super inspiring and it makes me want to get up and start doing my homework again (which I've been slacking off of)
You have no idea how much i needed this in my life. Thank you.
I love your videos, they've helped me become more away. Reframing scrolling as a lack of control really struck something in me. That, and TV as not creating new memories. You've inspired me to not waste my time and add meaning to my life
Very valuable video, and this is definitely true. Having meaning is the difference between feeling fulfilled with your life or not. However, the entertainment section is entirely subjective. Outdoorsy people only watch shows or read books when they’re bored, but some of us actually love storytelling and need to engage with it in order to feel fulfilled too. Watching a show or reading a book isn’t a waste of time if you’re selective with what you pick up, and they 100% are experiences too! Our experiences don’t just happen outside of the house or with other people. Not to mention we all need art in our lives, and to say that we don’t is to act like every story written to this day has been useless.
This is the first video of your channel that I watch. I really liked it. Meaning is so important, I've learned so much about myself the last few years that I start doing some random projects by myself because, for me, they are important and very meaningful.
Thank you !
Thank you so much Amy for these mindset shifts! Really greatful to have you 💗
the video I desperately needed! thank you for this! 💖
i love your personality!!
glad to know someone is speaking my language!
Your the most realistic and accurate person I've seen on TH-cam. It's really true that the world isn't in the gadgets but the people around you, experiences and all. Lots of love❤
Your videos helped me work towards my goals, Watching your videos feel like I have a team and am not alone, social media is filled with show-off people and far from reality.
That’s a great idea to work on something beyond yourself, it releases plenty of resources and makes you fulfilled🙏🏽
Omg. Watching your intro needed so much motivation for me
when she asked what work meant, my analytical part of brain said work= displacement X force lol
lol #physics
loll
😂😂
Mine said pressure by volume ahhh too much thermodynamics 🥹🥹🥹
This video was really refreshing, love your advice! Thank you 😊
This was just what I needed💕💕❤️ perfect video, perfect timing
This video really help me understand why I do the things I do and why I want to do it. Amy channel is just so incredible, it just has some of the most valuable information. Amy you're one of my biggest motivation to keep trying.
Thanks Amy for this incredible pieces of information.
Amy, you have changed my mindset. Thank you a lot. I was struggling with this for a long time.
why do I stumble on your video suddenly and stay and get my mind blown by these definitions? I love your content!
easily you clic me up what i've been learning in courses in simply but clear phrases easy going but meaningful. love it ! hope this week ill see the effect of it
Thank you lady! I feel better after i watched this video
By far the best piece of advice I’ve received so far from a TH-cam video.
Hi Amy. I just wanted you to know that I really enjoy your videos and I learned a lot about myself and how to cope with different situations. This mindset-action and reframing mindset is amazing. I will definitely use it in my daily life.
Thank you so much. I’m looking forward to every video!
That’s fantastic! Thanks so much for being here and letting me know 🥰
this video has a GREAT meaning!
This is honestly the most practical and paradigm shifting approach to go about managing my life (as a college student hoping to graduate with a first class honours). I am so glad to have come across this channel cause I relate to Amy’s mindset and fits perfectly with where I want to go. Back in my high school days I was one of the top students that graduated with straight As and was always at the top. Though I didn’t get to be the top by being naturally “smart” or anything but through my hard work, commitment and my work ethic that I consistently built as I went. This is just what I needed to hear to sharpen my saw and get in to flow of working towards my goals of achieving the best possible outcome from my college experience and reach my long term goals. This is much needed advice, thanks a lot Amy!
I felt exactly the same way about Tiktok. I didn't want random stuff thrown in my face and still don't. I want to be selective in how I spend my time, even if I'm "wasting" my time. Good points all around.
Thank you dear, I really appreciate your sharing ❤
I believe in the power of the mindset my self, I even think it's more powerful than "actions" !!
If you have the right mindset and the right intention as well, your actions will be on the right path..
Sometimes people are also around the type of people that inadvertently discourage them (maybe it's not on purpose but the result is the same). What I found that helps me is to be brave & stay true to myself & goals regardless of what's around me; a dialogue between me & me. Guilt & shame is not the same as accountability & compassion.
I've also been prioritising relationships & communication a lot more. Even if I don't feel like I'm good at it or have a lot to offer, that's where compassion comes in. It's who I am rn & where I'm currently at. I accept that and help myself for tomorrow. Don't fall into the guilt-and-rot death loop (DON'T!!!). Even if you are alone, like me, there are ways to ground yourself.
Courage is sometimes quiet, like the roots holding a tree in the wind. It's the small tasks, the boring repetitive tasks, when you reach out to someone, even when you're finding it out on your own - the days you sit & commit your time to it. Whoever sees this, you're resilient & capable
This is sooo good and totally different. Really would look at these distractions in a different way. I think I need to watch this video everyday in the morning, to reframe my life. Thanks a lot Amy!!
OMG.. that was so strong :" do not chase for happiness"
I’m watching your videos and now I consider you as my older sister because I started to give meaning to all advices and reframes you say, is being helpful to organize my ideas about my life, thank you so much for that (English is not my first language btw, sorry if there’s mistakes)
i am working on my art goals rn and this helping alot to realise that my time isnt wasted, i also play games for 1-3 hours every evening but that is because i am actually trying to actively become a twitch streamer and i enjoy it and like learning new things about the game i like, i think its fine to do that if its something you are actually trying to get better at and improve in, but if you dont wanna do anything that has to do with video games it can suck your time away for sure, i have been addicted to games before and its not fun at all
Solid advice, thank you! It's always valuable to see what successful peoples' systems are like, so I can see where my own systems can be improved.
I like the last tip a lot; it has definitely been my experience that doing things for others is massively more motivating and rewarding than doing them for yourself. I would point out, though, that not everyone finds social experiences to be "recharging". That's certainly true of extroverts, but introverts can actually find social interactions to be exhausting, and their version of "recharging" actually involves getting in some alone time.
Just my $0.02! Thanks again!
