This is not a duo I would've ever imagined but I love it! Always glad to see non-sarcastic Grace :)
Great collab, Kati! This is actually one of the things that I've been working on lately. I've realized that taking time for myself for basic needs, even eating a leisurely dinner, instead of feeling bad that I haven't gotten more done, is ok. We're all human, and we have to be our best physically and mentally to do our best in the rest of our life!
Thank you, Grace, for your transparency!
This video makes me so happy because in a way I idolize Grace and it's just really comforting to know that she goes through similar things that I do when it comes to mental health. She's human. Great work ladies! Thank you for giving me hope.
Oh I loved this! I really love seeing this side of Grace. I'm 25 and definitely relate to struggle between working constantly or thinking constantly about work and the need to take meaningful time off (without feeling guilty). It's especially difficult because my work environment is regularly chaotic. It's always good to hear that this struggle is more or less universal-- from media stars to average Joes, we're in this together!
I'm 11 1/2 months clean from cutting and the biggest ways to keep my head clear from bad thoughts I draw, listen to music, and solve my Rubik's cubes.
Awesome! 🎊🎉
+Jessica Dawson you'll make it some day.
+Sam Henders right on
So cool!!!! Congrats on the hard work- I know that's not easy. Keep being strong!
Tomorrow (April 1), will be 8 weeks without cutting, for me!!!
loved this video ! and both of you are so pretty!
As I have been to a couple of Tony Robbins events I can say I really enjoyed them and got a lot from them. The firewalking is quite fun but I got more out of it the second time I went.
The first month of last semester I was working 6 days a week and going to class 4 days a week. I had about no time for any time to myself but what I would do is take five extra minutes and do a face mask and watch a TH-cam video at night. And then one my way to school on the bus I'd just zone out and listen to music and play a mindless game. My mindless game of choice at the time was crossy road. No that wasn't perfect, yes I almost burned out, since well. My only day off of work during that time was a class day, and that class day I was at school for 8 hours +. That was not a fun time, luckily my boss cut my hours back as soon as she could before I started majorly burning out.
I was totally playing candy crush through the entire video :P I wish I were better at stepping out of my comfort zone. I know how much more energized it always makes me feel, but sometimes anxiety is really stubborn...
Hi Kati! First of all, i love your channel and i think it's really nice that you take your time to do all of these videos!
And second, yesterday i tried to download one of your workbooks. And to be able to download it you have to confirm your email address in an email that you sent. But i never got that mail. I tried multiple times and checked if i wrote my address right, which i did. But i still never got the email to confirm it. I don't know if it's a bug or something, just thought i'll let you know!
Grace is mom 😂😍
I can't self sooth I do not feel like I deserve it
I see the Snapchat logo on the video but can't find your username! Help Kati!
its katimorton1
thank you!
I hope everyone else can see that up-side down head in the background...
My best friend and I are introverts, so we live to spend time together like reading and stuff. She actually just texted me to come over because she wants to "socialize without really socializing" it's so good when people get you/how you self care! :P
I wished more people were like that :-)
lol, Mamrie's prosecco bottles in the background 😂
Mamrie's giant upside-down head in the background!
Aww! What a sweet, mindful side of Grace.
Spotted: a wild Mamrie Hart lurking in the shadows of this video.
Yesterday was my last session in therapy and I'm really excited because it took a lot of hard work to get there. But I wanted to know if you could make a Monday about having absentee parents. This was one of the biggest struggles for me in therapy and it still is. My mom left when I was three and she's been in and out of my life ever since it's been this constant cycle of her promising to be a better parent and be there for me and my sisters and us getting our hopes up only to have her go back on her word just days later. One of the biggest things my therapist had to check me on is that I make excuses for her behavior or I have a really bad habit of taking on the blame even though I know I didn't do anything. So during yesterdays session she left me with this she said that sometimes we have to come to the realization that there are bad people in this world and sometimes those people are our parents and I have to find a way to mourn that parent that I wish I had and except the parent that I do I have. So long story short I would love to have a video on this topic because I know I'm not the only one.
So proud of you ❤️❤️
trash thank you....It's been interesting managing on my own these last days.....but this is when the real work starts
+Ashtin Paulet I relate to this so much. I can ruminate for days on end wishing my parents were different people. Like you said it's important to remember we did nothing wrong and leave that guilt with them because it doesn't belong with us :-)
Natalie Lamon Right now I'm in the process of writing her a letter which is really weird because I'm mourning the loss of someone who is still alive. But I feel like even if I don't give it to her it's still nice to put words to my feelings I'll always love my mom she gave birth to me but at this point I know that it's best that I love her from a distance.
I know that this video is really important about your health and what not, but all of my attention is with an upside down face cardboard cut out of Mamrie in the background. sorry.
I'm SO glad you are getting so popular, Kati!! You deserve all the success in the world! You've helped me a lot and many other people as well :) LOVE you too Grace!!!
I love funny Grace but I REALLY love serious Grace! She has such a smart, thoughtful perspective!
Those are a lot of good recommendations, expecially with exams coming up for me. I usually try to have an hour break for myself everyday so I don't burn out.
I came to this video because I'm a big +Grace Helbig fan. I was in the middle of an anxiety/depression funk so this advice, coming from someone I look up to is perfect. Couldn't have been a better time for this video. You don't know how much this helped me. Thank you both.
+Kati Morton (Mental Health Vlogger) I'm a licensed psychotherapist from Portugal and I can confirm everything you said :) Let me just add as a self care tool: LEARN TO ASK FOR HELP (from family, friends, a therapist, etc). Everyone deserves it! We do not have to do it all alone! :) x
I always feel guilty when I take time for myself and do something enjoyable and relaxing instead of something "productive". But I'm going to take inspiration from this video to give myself some time - I prepared paints and brushes and I'm planning to spend evening with them.
Two beautiful women.
Karens probably
I get to do monotonous bullshit all the time (I'm a dishwasher) so that won't help me. Listening to metal and drinking beer helps calm me down, at least temporarily.
hey Kati! I've been following you for years. I had a very traumatic hospitalization for mental health issues almost 3 years ago. I have a very hard time trusting mental health professionals now and am scared to ask for help. Your videos are helping me see that there are good therapists out there. I am starting to see that getting help is SOOO important for my mental health and I probably won't be in that situation with the hospital again. You continue to give me hope and inspire me in my recovery. thank you for bringing hope to so many people ❤❤❤
Wow Kati and Grace! My favorite two TH-camrs, I'm so incredibly happy! ☺️💖
Also the techniques are really helpful, thank you for putting all the effort into your videos, Kati. We appreciate it so much. You are an amazing person, please keep your great attitude! 💕
I love grace so much. in a not...weird way. but like she's great honestly she inspires me massively in every way. also her hair is a messy perfect mop of ..hair and reminds me of my own hair. its great.
YAYYYYYY I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!
and i have to say my no1 self care and distract technique (opposite to emotion if we are talking dbt) is watching Grace!! def changes my mood :)
how does one take Care no themselves while being a parent? I often feel guilty when I try and take some "me time". (aka: getting coffee with friends, driving around with friends, basically doing anything without my son) I just feel so bad (and I only ever go out if he's napping or sleeping because I don't like to bother people to watch him.) Not really sure where this is even going, but could you make a "me time video for moms?"
every time I try to do something for myself, there's laundry and dishes and cleaning to be done 😔

Jillian Seiden omg same. i do think it's like having a bad plumber. We have to learn to rationalize and understand that we simply got to find a good plumber to fix things up.
...does that mean we get a not too deep episode with you? :3
+emberchord omg I hope so!
I struggle finding the correct balance between taking time for myself and doing all of the things I need to get done for my classes.
It's so important to remember to just breathe every once in a while. Great video Kati!
Kati and Grace! My two biggest TH-cam inspirations in one video. I loved this so much! Great advice for me: someone who struggles with balancing my work/education/mom/personal life!
We spend so much time on the outside and not much time on the inside inside is important looks don't last forever a personality change for best can last.
This was great, I'm a huge Grace fan too! I also studied Spanish in Costa Rica and totally experienced culture shock at first too! It's definitely shaped me (having that experience) and has helped me get outside of my comfort zone in other ways :)
Kati AND Gracie?! :D A great stress reliever for me is coloring...yes Im an adult but it works and I love it xoxo
I'm done with Candy Crush. Like I'm at Level 1610 and there aren't any more levels. Yeah.........
Kati, can you please talk about EMDR. My therapist (who i've been seeing for almost 2 years) wants me to consider doing this with her (she is becoming trained in this now) since I just opened up about a trauma that happened 7months ago. I'm really considering saying yes but i've read how hard the process is and it scares me. What would you suggest??
Any tips for busy mums, I have two kids and I'm 7 months pregnant, my husband own his own business I just never seem to get anytime to myself ever. I'm lucky if I can use the bathroom alone! I have been treated for GAD in the past and I know that meditation really helps me but for the last few months I just haven't been able to fit it in the my life........I just feel so tired and frazzled all the time. I don't feel like my best self and it's affecting my relationships
+Connie Ive:l read your comment and hope that Kati'll write to you her professional opinion. You deserve to take care of yourself& not only for you:you're not alone &if you don't feel well+healthy,and-why not?-happy,you won't be able to do your best for your family!What a pity for your two children &the one you're expecting! Don't you feel the love+support of your husband? If it's really not enough,you need advice.Please ask a therapist for help or group therapy,even if it's too hard to do...I wonder:aren't you both &your hubby "pregnant" together? Don't let whatever trouble to damage your family's happiness,problems cannot be solved by themselves,WE have to fight+work for the solutions. My best wishes♥(apologize for my mistakes.I'm from Greece in south Europe)
Whats with the huge face at the back of the room?? lol.
Also, Kati, your biceps are amazing!!!
And last, this video was really helpful, thank you so much for all the hard work you put on creating this.
I'am a Libra too, like both of you.sometimes we have very masculine traits when de-stressing . I don't fish but I like some video games. I like your channel, I am subscribing.
+Kati Morton
I really liked this talk. I would not have minded if it was closer to 30 minutes than 10.
How about an in-depth coffe and a chat about how to build yourself up after a break-up? I'm not talking about immediate action after heartbreak, but what you do years later when there's still a black hole in your heart?.. I can't be the only one.
VIDEO REQUEST: Hi Katie, could u do a video on post natal depression or other mental health related pregnancies?
I'm so into Candy Crush. I feel like I'm too far in to delete it though. But I recently got into puzzling, which has been an incredible way for me to take my mind off things, but still be working toward something. I highly recommend it!
New subscriber here! Your videos are like Netflix binges for me. I need to get back to studying but with every video, I see 4 more that interest me. Just one more and I'll get back to studying...
Great Video, thanks so so much. I wished you lived in Ohio, you would definitely be my therapist. Iam addicted to this channel. :-)
Kati if you're reading this can you please make a video about school refusal or school phobia it's something that I am currently suffering from, if you could that would be great! -Frank
Kati.M. Esto por las redes sociales. Que digo esto. Físicamente nunca. Y tenía Esperanza. Gloria a Dios.
is that the cardboard head cutout of mamrie in the back omg
I'm clean for 7 months and 10 days by now and what helped me with it was promising it to someone I really, really love and who I know would be hurt more than it would hurt myself if I did again. I also listen to music a lot, write stuff down I want to do like creative ideas for example to which I can get back to when I'm stressed out, read a lot, go to my horse (that helps a lot and is really perfect by the way!) and stuff like that to take care of myself. I also watch TV shows a lot and see my therapist regularly which also helps my brain to shut down sometimes. She teached me deep breathing techniques to calm myself during exams when I for example start to be scared and maybe get a panic attack. We also built up a routine that makes it easier for me to get back into homework and learning for exams when I'd usually just sit there and do nothing.
I just sorted value cards recently as a way to see what areas I can explore and incorporate into satisfying activities. I started an art journal tonight but this vid gave me the idea of taking myself on "field trips" like when I was in grade school. There's tons of free stuff I can do like go to museums, discover some weird stores, go on a nature hike and/or picnic, do some outdoor drawing, visit local historical sites, parks, talks, book signings, etc.
I loved this collab between the two of you and would love to see it happen again!!
Is really envy people whose "down time" activities are also productive times. I get overwhelmed very easily; a lot of the time all activities feel like obligations and I just shut down. Rats.
I recently subscribed to your channel because it gives me a good pick me up when I have to miss my weekly therapy sessions if im sick or have a scheduling conflict. I love them so much!! Especially these collabs with some of the creators who have helped me through my recovery.
Will you do a video on what appropriate boundaries are between you and your spouse/partner on the content that is discussed in therapy? I just started therapy and am having a hard time not telling my partner about everything my T and I discuss even if it is detrimental to our relationship. Thanks!
Also, I like that in the vid above it is about putting yourself first in order to have better relationships around you!
Thank you so much for making this video!! I am a social work major, and I was planning on talking about self-care in my group for grad school. This totally helped me. Going to recommend this video to others & add it as a fav :)
and learning the type of self care you need (can afford) is a real struggle. Anyone have suggestions on how they don't completely self sabotage and how they take time out for themselves?
Do we need to take Grace's truphie off her? ("Best Suppressing of Emotions")
Awe this was a pleasant surprise!! I love funny sarcastic Grace, but I love Grace when she talks on a more serious note just as much ❤️
Kati, can you tell us what Grace is wearing? I love her top! That will be my self care tip 😗😗😗
I like her videos but this is video mainly is about what they,not things we could do to relax. Just keeping it really.
Sunday is my day off so I'll sleep in, eat a good breakfast, read a book with a steaming mug of coffee and then do workout and then whatever the hell I want
when I'm feeling anxious i usually write songs..its really a great thing to turn something thats negative into a song that you're proud of... just a suggestion to anyone :)
Why people think is weird to have coffee or a meal alone? There's nothing wrong, at least for me, I don´t always like to do those things with someone.
thx for this awesomely ha bisky vid from poptrigger/TYT could you have grace baldridge on she is a lesbian so it would kool to have her talk to you a little bit about her life on the common room she talked about it a bit but it would be good to have her on here
I was waiting for this collab to happen! I feel like itsGrace videos are my personal therapy: whenever I feel down or stressed out, I watch one of them and it makes me smile and helps me a lot! Thanks Grace and Kati!
My wife was wondering why this 69 YO Libra was listening to two high school girls talk and giggle.
This is awesome I love Grace thanks Kati for this I love to do a lot of drawing and trying out new mediums
in therapy I reached a point where a part of me likes to sabotage and procrastinate so I am bad at self care especially lately. I was told taking care of myself is going to be hard for me.
this was helpful. good to know that people that have their shit together also like to veg out, don't feel so guilty as much :)
Great tips ladies ! Keeping life in balance is very important :-)
Grace is so nice 💕 thanks Kati 💕
He'll yea loved thus vid like all your vids . you are amazing at what you do .x 😊 💙
I'm a libra and really relate to feeling so much better after cleaning my area before getting started and stuff like that!
Help! Tomorrow I see my dietician again and I've been messing up. I haven't been following the meal plan and I've been lying to my dad about eating meals. My dad's going to be upset and I'm probably going to gain weight when I start eating again. I don't want to deal with that. What do I do?
So exited that you made a video with Grace!!! And there are some great tips here! :)
what is the term the use to talk about leisure activities? it sounds like monogness or something like that..
OMG Katie your hair looks amazing really suits you.
I like a hot bath with tea. And a book. Bit lately I've loved lemonade
lol,Mamrie's big upside head just casually lurking in the background !
Only watched 40 seconds and had to thumbs up. I made it to the credits but you had me at hello
That giant Mamrie head is the only thing I could focus on.
The cutest happy friends ever lol
Heck YES! Great video. :-)
I find the more I like myself the more I don't like other people. lol
Amazing grace... i see what you did there
everyone i know is a libra even on youtube i'll never be free smh..
This was so great to relax and listen to while driving
First :)
I do a lot of rainbow loom when I'm stressed out, I also write in my journal when no one is around but I have done that very often.
Love the video Kati!!!
+Kati Morton (Mental Health Vlogger) it's hard to do but it's really fun 😊
Love Kati’s bubbly personality
I just love that Giant Mamrie's head in the background
This video has really helped me sooo much!!!!!
That Lisa Stansfield reference. lol.
Shout! Libra sisters! Oct.21!
I watch a lot of TH-cam. Lol love you guys!
Haha I've deleted candy crush twice too.
