Claudia, I'm not sure you understand how much your deep talk really just motivated me and made me feel so good. I felt like I just had a long talk with my friend, and the thing is, I don't really associate with my friends and family anymore because I'm so caught up in me me me. Which isn't a bad thing, but because I'm so busy doing me; working 2 jobs, going to school, taking extra online courses, volunteering...I'm so consumed in me that I forget about other people around me. And the time that I have to myself, I spend it on social media and I start to compare my lifestyle to others and I wish I had time with my friends and family...I wish I had time to prep food and eat healthy, go to the gym. My everyday schedule starts from 5am-11pm everyday. Something about this long talk really made me feel like I need to step back and relax. Focus on my mind and body, emotionally and physically.
you go girl! now is the time to be selfish and work on what you really want and feel passionate about. The best investment you can make is investing the time to work on yourself :) Way to be!
I totally get it... but I think it's also all about balance! designate as much time as you can to doing things that will only better yourself and who you want to become. While still reaching out to friends and family so they don't feel like they've gotten the cold shoulder from you AND that way you're not missing out :) I'm only 20 as well and all my friends are out clubbing and thats just not my mindset... and you shouldn't feel bad if your priorities are different than other people your age!
Cat Tang THIS COMMENT 🙌🙌🙌 reading this comment my mind was like "oh my gosh me too... me too.. ME TOO WHAT THE" like legit the working 2 jobs, school, comparing myself to others on social media and trying to be healthy and do meal preps and AGH. Relating to you so hard rn and sending you good vibes to get through the busy routine of life 👍🏻
These last 12 months of me being out of college has changed me so much. I cried a lot, spent a lot of money, changed emotionally, physically ups and downs, but the biggest is that I don't even know what I want to do next. I hate not having a plan to really understand my capacity and commitment to the life I want to pursue. Ughhh life is weird. I'm weird. Seeing u so happy makes me want that same genuine love of life. Thank you for this, we love you !
Im about to eneter college and i really dont know what i want to pursue in life because i dont know what im good at and therefore you are not alone! i see you went through it all girl and its all going to be worth it dont worry too much and just expirement on things and maybe youll find something you love(: or its all in the matter of time everything happens for a reason and i hope the best for you and i hope life does you better
This is literally what I just went through! I'm doing a lot better now and actually heading in a direction I think I'm happy with but also still don't know what I want to do long-term. It's a weird thing, trying to figure out life and goals and all that. Best of luck to you!
I love when you talk about anything like this, I love listening to people talk about important meaningful topics, what their passionate about, their goals in life, literally anything because we can all learn from other people and how each of us view life and just other things in different ways, I would love if you included chatty parts into your vlogs once in a while, I think it could be really good for you and for others, you could just give your opinions and talk about what ever is on your mind, so thank you for your words
I resonated with everything you said, but the last point really hit me hard. While it's true that often the videos beauty/lifestyle vloggers post seem frivolous, I definitely think that it's helpful. Your home decor vlogs motivated me to start finally shopping for my apartment, and your makeup videos help me reach a confident level with wearing makeup and feeling good about wearing makeup, but also enjoying makeup free days. At the end of the day it's what you take from it and how you view it/ use it. Your channels are helpful in more ways than one and I hope you continue to pursue this. :)
I rarely ever actually listen to long talks on youtube but I'm glad I did. I really love how passionate you are about this topic and the look in your eyes was such a beautiful thing to see, so pure. I really needed this I actually started tearing up a bit! this motivated me to make my time worthwhile and not be at home or on social media on my free time. thank you, you're an angel claudia✨🦋🌺
You're right, I've noticed the change in you ever since you've moved out into your own home. You appear very "at peace" and it's showing in your energy and how you're communicating to everyone through these vlogs! I really love your presence on TH-cam. You touched on some really wonderful key points about the role of social media. Everything about you is so refreshing! Sending lots of love to you ❤️
I get what you mean. It happened to me, spending so much hours in social media and wondering where my day went at the end of the day. So I made some changes in my day to day activities so that what I do is beneficial for me (join online trainings, read my books, talk to friends, etc). I still check social media when I need a break or just relax. I really appreciate when you post videos where you talk to us and share your thoughts. I think you're really a good role model. You're motivated and inspire a lot people. I can tell how much you respect/love your craft and I really think you can go places because of your mindset and attitude.
your positivity is so contagious claudia and every time i listen to your own experiences and findings, i have a desire to strive to do more with my life and to look at the brighter side of things
Claudia, I dont believe your videos are mindless at all. You inspire me (and millions of others) to eat healthy, take care of your body, work hard, and every one of your videos motivates me in some way! Your fashion and beauty vlogs have influenced my sense of fashion (and how I like to express myself) and have made thousands of others feel better about themselves. Your videos are not mindless at all but I understand your point of focusing your time on the important things in life which i agree with 100%.
Your videos are definitely not mindless! You radiate such positivity and you inspire me to be happy with every video you post. Love watching your videos regardless of the content.
I'm not much older than you but I'm 23 and I can tell you're hitting that age where you start realizing everything and getting extremely passionate about the important things in life. It's maturity hitting you. Its mentally overwhelming but it feels really good deep down. You are such an intelligent and productive person, you should be proud of yourself!
This is honestly why I love your channel, Claudia. You really make me think about how i'm living my life. I'm only 15 years old, but I always seem to find myself falling into the hole of being lazy and being on my phone on social media for hours and just wasting my time on pointless things when I know I could be doing something better with my time and just stuff I know that would help me in the long run. I just feel that I have major procrastination problems...when I always wish that I could have a better lifestyle...Ughhh I idk idk
Omg I really needed this! I have recently deleted all my social media for the most part and have began focusing more on myself and what's really important to me. Especially just being more independent in this part of my life I think I really needed this. I would make myself upset or be emotional over things I didn't have any control over. I have always been so inspired by you! Thank you x1000 I'm so glad you're so open about this! Love you 💛
you're so motivating Claudia! You're not doing just mindless content at all. Every video that I see of you every once in a while is fresh air for me, I mean it makes me think a lot about my life and the things that seem important to me so huge THANK YOU!! Keep sharing those inspiring thoughts :)
I love watching / listening to your chatty vlogs whilst organising and planning. I enjoy listening to what you have to say and your outlook on certain things. keep up the good work! xx
Your vlogs seriously make my day. When I'm not having a good day, I watch your videos and get overjoyed! You make me motivated to go out and do productive things! You are literally so down to earth, and when I watch your videos I feel like I'm hanging out with a friend. You are so talented and amazing at what you do and I hope be at least half of the astonishing person that you are!
Thank you Claud! Every single one of your talks get me so motivated. I have realized that I have been spending my time on my phone, scrolling through youtube and instagram without any idea of what am I looking for. Instead of getting up in the morning and going to the gym or for a run, I would lay in my bed on my phone for hours dreaming about the perfect body... Also, I have to study because I have some exams left for the end of the August, but instead of studying I've been doing literally nothing. Your talk was a punch in my face, but in a good way. It got me to the point of realizing that I'm constantly wasting my time and that I need to become picky about what am I spending it on, just like you. Thank you to the moon and back!
I have been watching your videos for awhile and I wanted to tell you that you really are a lovely person. Watching your videos always makes me feel better. Seeing you happy and following your dreams really encourages me to do the same! :)
I love watching these types of deep talks in your vlogs Claudia. I would definitely say that you're the #1 most motivating youtuber that i watch. I always feel happy after watching your videos and never regret 'wasting my time' watching TH-cam videos. I feel like our mindset is very similar so that's probably why i've been subscribed to your channel for so many years. I'm so proud of all of your success and hope that all of your dreams come true in the future. Love ya ❤️
you can genuinely see Claudia's happiness with acting because the entire time she was talking about it, she was glowing and smiling. please don't let youtube get in the way of really launching you're acting career because a true subscriber would understand. if anything you could post more about acting if it makes you happy! there's alot of people looking for guidance in that career.
Hey! I work at a talent agency in Hollywood! For advice, we are always pushing clients to take acting classes, but something that is REALLY useful especially for someone like you would be a college course. There are many theater schools out there or even just private/community colleges that allow you to sign up for one course and it's a great way to learn but not have to commit weeks straight. Most courses are just one day a week or two days a week and trust me that is more than enough to expand your knowledge and keep up the practice. There also improv classes you can take PER session. And acting coaches are also recommended because you can use them regularly or to prep for each audition. This might also sound silly but a film history course could really help you too. I took one at Woodbury university in Burbank, CA. The guy was super cool and we literally just watched movies and then dissected everything about them- from the acting to the shot composition. Also just on TH-cam- the user name Every Frame Of Painting is my favorite channel- it breaks down movies and every single one has a new topic of theme to discuss from directing to acting. It also will make you want to watch more movies! I hope that helps you! Good Luck :)
I'm 19 years old and this year hasn't been the best. There's been a lot of hurt, pain and distractions that came along with 2017; not only for me, but for my family and those around me. My ex just recently broke up with me because of how distracted I was and how he couldn't find it in himself to make the time anymore and that put another weight of hurt on my shoulders, you know? I've been watching your vlogs and your main channel videos for years now and they honestly help a lot. It's been about three weeks of me learning how to be single again and how to replan all the things in my future that involved him. And within those three weeks I have realized so much about myself and my drive to be something that is more than what I am right now. And just to know that like youtubers or celebrities have these moments in their lives that they need to readjust and they need to make different plans and create different things is so refreshing and motivating. So thank you for being a person who motivates and inspires people to thrive in the things they want to do because one voice can change a lot. And you, Claudia, have that voice. I love you so much and thank you! ♥️
I love the positivity you show us. Being realistic though, we all have ups and downs. You seem to be happy 24/7 and yeah I understand you only show us a small glimpse of your life. I'm not trying to be negative at all because I've always been supportive towards you. No one ever has a perfect life, showing your down sides doesn't make you weak.
Oh my god, I've been having a real tough time lately with anxiety and friends suffering from depression and this video somehow gave me the push I needed and made me motivated again for the first time in a while. Thank you so so much Claudia, love you
Loved this! I would love to hear you talk more about pursuing your dreams/stepping out of your comfort zone/taking risks to accomplish your goals. So many of us (myself included!) get stuck in ruts where we think our dreams are way too far out of our reach and won't take a risk to get what we want out of life.
I agree! I used to spend a lot of time on social media and then one day my school had a phone free day and I had a realization-I spent so much time on social media and what I thought was important to know and look at but then the next day, I would only remember about 10% of it - at most. My time could've and should've been spent playing with my dog, going for a run, or watching something worth watching with information that will matter the next day. Now I'm trying to spend a lot less time on my phone and social media because it's really not that important and it's not beneficial. :) Thanks Claudia you're awesome!
And this is why I think you're so successful. You literally put 110% in everything you do and that is an amazing quality to have! Keep up the good work :)
This motivated me so much, recently I am at a point in my life where I am making so many important decisions and working so hard for school therefore my free time is precious, and I admit I get drawn into the endless scrolling but this had awaken them idea that I can go and do other things and I can chose who and when I hang out with. It's made me realise I have control over my life and I am the only person who can create the person who I want to be and that no one else is going to do it for me. Thank you so much it had really helped me out of this rut I have been in.
I swear, it's gonna be SOOOOOOOO cool to look back on this exact video when you've made it big in the industry and will have landed a huge role in a movie or televised series. But this message was much needed for me b/c I'm pursuing modeling and I always find myself feeling like I'm not making the most of the time that I have. I may not be where I want to be at the moment but I can continuously work towards it by increasing my knowledge of the craft.
passion is one of the best things in life and it is so awesome to see you, one of my favorite youtubers, research, read, write, and think!!! Educating yourself is so important and it is always so interesting to see that our interests could be worlds apart, but our passion and willingness to absorb new information is so similar. thank u claud
Claudia i feel the same way about learning right now. I'm so obsessed with reading and I want to take classes and learn so much! I am in such a similar place in life you are! You're going to do great! I promise
thank you for the constant motivation!! I am veryyy unmotivated and ungrateful and lately have been trying to stay conscious of that. I still need help with staying motivated considering I have existential depression & overthink every little thing...but watching your vlogs is so helpful! it'd be cool if you made a full video about staying positive / gratefulness / changing your mindset
i love this girl! your vlogs this year have pushed me to do better and have motivated me to really go after the things i want in a more ferocious way! i've started to work out more, read more and get back to the things that i know i love and really make time for the things i know will only make me better. and i agree with you completely about cutting out the mindless scrolling that we've all been accustomed to! i catch myself checking my instagram and snapchat just for the sake of checking them, and it's become a tick almost :( we all need to take a little break from the mindless and be more conscious and present in our own lives, and filter our intake down to things that will bring us to a place that's better than we were before :) all the love to you claudia!
I think it should be known that as a 26 year old pursuing a creative career (musician) I find your videos not only refreshing after a day of hard work but also incredibly inspiring. To say your videos are similar "pointless scrolling" is definitely not accurate. I find that no matter what you post, whether it be a main video or vlog that your work ethic shines through. To see someone who is career driven, self-motivated and constantly striving to learn should NOT be discredited. Claudia, I sincerely enjoy you as a person even without knowing you personally. I think you are showing the young women who watch your channel an extremely positive and SMART life as an influencer. You have also proven yourself to be more than that and let every woman know that your dream is achievable no matter who you are as long as you educate and dedicate yourself. I hope that this message reaches you and you understand that you make up the small percentage of influencers who are actually trying to change the world through encouraging their viewers to be uniquely themselves and nourish their minds with positivity and knowledge. Continue right along your path. Your support system is huge because you support each and every one of us. Much love from Dallas ❤️
This is so important!! Your advice can be taken anyway it doesn't necessarily mean for acting we all can be planning and devoting time to our dreams like researching people in any industry! Woah girl
claudia, this is why you're one of my favorite youtubers. you talk about real shit that will actually make me a better person, instead of just filling my brain with content about youtubers doing random shit and living a luxurious life just 'cause they were fortunate enough to make a living doing youtube. keep living your best life, and thanks for sharing it with us all!!
Honestly, I can't tell you how much this sir down meant to me. It felt like you were talking to me, all of us watching, and not just to a camera. And it really made an impact to me. I've spent my whole life moving and moving and if not moving then studying and working hard to get into uni. I've barely had time for myself or to do things a normal person my age would do. I can relate to how you felt before your vlog break and it's made me realize that I need to stop for a moment. Even during summer, I've been practicing for sports next year and studying for the SAT and other things. And I can agree with other people that it's definitely made me think about having me time and "being a human again." I just wanted to thank you in general and I love you and take all the vlog breaks/breaks you need ♡
i hope you never feel that your content is mindless. everytime i watch your videos they motivate me to balance my life, continue to eat healthy, workout, clean, etc. and in the end ensure that whatever it is im doing, that it makes me happy and fulfilled. especially after watching your vlogs i can't help but feel that there is always something i can be doing to live out to my fullest potential. love ya clauds!
In today's society, I'm really happy to say that I have no social media. No peer pressure that makes me want to look like something I'm not, no "ooh look what I got, jelly?", and no "look where I've been, #lifegoals". I don't feel the need to update my status and tweet every few seconds because I don't really see the reason why. And so, I'm also proud of myself when I type this: I put my hours into putting smiles on people's faces. I put my hours into helping people have a better day, let out a genuine laugh. I put my hours into living and being myself, without thinking who will see it, and what anyone would think of me. I enjoy every moment that I'm in, I take photos of the people and places I wouldn't want to lose the memory of, I don't see life through my phone screen. I feel like, it's a waste of time, spending hours and hours on phones, apps that are pointless, unnecessary hate sessions, the list goes on.. I'm just really happy to say I have been putting my hours into building a life for myself that doesn't involve any of these and I like to say that I'm doing a good job at it. Thank you, Claudia, for taking the time to have a deep conversation with your audience, I personally, immensely enjoyed it xx
You're such a relatable girl, meaning that like I feel like I can relate to you in such a casual and easy way, like you're a big sister on the internet for me. Your long deep talks really do change my mindset and this video has kind of opened my mind because until now I haven't even realized how much I've been sucked into the Internet world. Thank you for just doing you Claudia!!! You inspire me daily
Claudia, can I just say that every time you start talking about your love for acting and everything, it gets me thinking about my dream. The dream I have had for myself for as long as I can remember, literally I remember being 2 years old and thinking to myself how I wanted that dream. The dream that idea of going for it scares me shitless and if I really start to think about it, I start to cry. You have made something in me think more about it and I've been wanting it more and more recently. And I really think its because of you. I don't know if Im going to ever pursue it, but you've definitely made me want to pursue it. Keep doing you Claudia!!
Claudia, you're one of my favourite internet people. Although we'll never meet in person, it always feels like you're a friend I've grown up with (literally because I've been watching you since the beginning). I feel you have a great ability to be down to earth, informed and have real conversations. Even though the conversations are happening through the camera, it feels like I am/we are participating in the dialogue with you. You have a great way of inspiring people, being relatable and including us in your growth. As you grow, I think we also grow with you. It's a lovely feeling that you share with all of this with us. I really enjoyed this talk and reflection.
Thank you for these moments. I truly believe that by watching your videos I get more and more motivated to find what drives me and what I'm really passionate about. Not to mention that it's soooo refreshing to see someone HAPPY with their life. Thanks for being you and for posting these amazing rambling thoughtful vlogs. Love xx
this is why i love you claudia! it's crazy how you posted this video and this last week i've been working hard on growing my craft in photography and making videos and building a website. little signs like these keep me going. def subbing to the channel you were talking about
i love when you talk about things you're passionate about and share things that can improve yourself. i think you should make a video with suggestions of random things like books and movies and even the five minute journal. like a favorites video but instead of talking about products you could talk about self improvement. you could keep documenting your journey on your youtube which will be nice for you to look back on and it can also help others with their personal journeys as well. i love when you talk about this stuff! can you tell? lol love you clauds
Hi Claudia, I rarely ever comment but thank you for this video, it really encouraged me to push my personal boundaries and to strive to be good at what i'm doing!!! And i guess this is all part of loving and valuing yourself as an individual. Keep going girl!
I'm not even kidding, before watching this video I was so unmotivated, i was thinking about quitting something that's so important to me bc i didn't see results and stuff, and what are the odds that I clicked on this video and you are talking about motivation and all of bunch pf stuff that I needed to hear.. Wow I'm mind blown, please do more vlogs even just sitting down like this and talking to the camera about everything really, it motivates me and a lot of people, you can realize it just by scrolling down in the comments! I love these videos and I love listening to you talking, it's so nice to hear someone dealing with your same problem and resolving it at the same time, it helped a lot! Thank you Claudia
to the mindless clothing video comment : none of it is really mindless - social media allows for more and more information to be absorbed ( whether good or bad ) people take it in. and some may not think that a video about makeup or clothing is stimulating - when in fact you get to see different patterns and styles of clothes that maybe you've never seen. you get to witness what youtubers enjoy. for me, i love seeing individual and unique styles - it's one of the main reasons that i follow claudia. my own personal style has def been inspired by her, and now that she's making more content about the mind - my brain gets to be inspired too 💖 luv ya : keep doin you gurl 😊✨
I am going through the same stage in my life right now, and it feels so good to know that other people understand and feel the same. I was about to slow down, but your video gave me that push that I needed. Thank you Claudia.
There is a difference between pretty pictures and videos that you tubers like you make! All of your videos are helpful and definitely entertaining. Saying your videos are the equivalent to mindless social media scrolls is like saying movies have no purpose. It's the entertainment industry, people watch and you do your job in a full circle. Your videos make people happy, including me, in the exact way movies make people happy. Also your TH-cam, for me, serves as my personal motivation board so it really is useful aside from entertainment. Love you so much and keep doing what you love to do cause that's the only way you should live your life!
i love acting so much!! i'm 18 and have been doing theatre my whole life and am currently in the process of auditioning for college acting programs, and i get really frustrated with youtubers who just jump right in and get acting gigs seemingly off of their fame alone, but this was a really good refreshing reminder for me to be less judgey, because people (like you!) clearly love it so much and are working really hard! i'm happy for you!
Hi Claudia! I'm 18 years old and I watch your videos since I was very young. I love this kind of vlogs because you have the chance to show your true self. These chats really help me and motivate me to not waste my time on superficial stuff and be productive. I really appreciate that you take the time to chat with us and write those posts because they are really helpful. These chats push me to improve my behavior, to be ambitious in order to achieve my goals and make me feel good. Usually I don't leave comments but I felt the need to thank you for your work. Love you:)
You never fail to inspire me Claudia, this video made wanna get out of bed and start learning things, exploring the world and meeting new people. The way you see life and how wisely you talk about things its amusing. I think you deserve all the best in the world for inspiring so many people like me. By the way, I could hear you rambling about life for hours, so dont worry about the vlog being too long. I love you!
I love that you have this positive, dedicated attitude to actually being a professional in acting and doing it for real at the same level as life-long actors, as opposed to some other influencers / youtubers who just do it on the side but don't really dedicate much time to mastering the craft. It's also really inspiring to me as I'm also trying to change my career path in a completely new direction where other people have been training for it for years, and I need this kind of motivation to put all those extra hours in! xxx
Thank you Claudia! I needed this video and was hoping you'd post a video explaining your Instagram post and how you were feeling. Honestly your channel helps me to sit back and reevaluate or just take a look back and re think life with these talks. Love it! Ahhh makes me feel so good :) Love YUHHHHHH
Whenever you have a talk and mention about something that people choose to avoid talking about, it just gives me that click in my mind like, I should really change how I spend my time and all sorts and it's really helpful because I'm spending time watching your videos so that I can treasure my time more as time comes. Thank you for this :)
I think the problem with today's world is that the 'distractions' you talked about (instagram pictures, funny videos, entertainment of this kind) stop to be just a quick 5-minute breaks. We actually start to spend more time on the 'quick distractions' rather than on what we actually do (study, create, whatever it is). When the order is reversed, we kind of lose sense of what is the actual purpose of our actions and we get sucked in. Extremely happy you talked about it Claudia, pozdrowienia z Polski ❤️
Honestly this isn't the first video where you say something along the lines of TH-cam just not crossing your mind and really I think this saying is so good all good things must come to an end. Your TH-cam channel and all it is and will be and what not is amazing and I've loved every second of it, but you should explore what else is out there! You should do all you want to do without fear of having to say no due to a prior obligation. You can recognize that TH-cam got you this far and the doors it's opened up for you but I think it'd be a really fun journey to see what it's like if you pursued acting without a TH-cam channel. Or at least no main channel and you just vlog whatever cool experiences you have. This is your one life and it's only yours so don't live in the fear and thought of disappointing your viewers. If they truly love your content they'd watch you on their tv, phones or in a movie theater.
I wish so bad I knew someone like you in my life. I loved this vlog, I love your vlogs. I love them because you get to see you and it's a platform where you share your thoughts like the ones in todays vlog which are so so important. Thank you for making these! I wish I could just sit down with you and chat in person I feel like we'd have so much to talk about haha. I've recently been trying out similar things like using my time better, educating myself through maybe watching documentaries on topics I find interesting like the ocean and conservation (chasing coral on Netflix is amazing btw you might like it). I've also taken up a hobby in running... but like properly running, marathon running and maybe not life changing to others it's helping me so much with anxiety and my mental health because I'm fuelling my bad into good. Using all the energy anxiety takes in my body and channeling it into my legs to run. It's so fun to get sucked into techniques on how to be faster and stronger and train better and to have goals and sign up for races. I'm loving the energy you are putting out in the world right now, you're on such a great track in life and I look up to you so much. Lots of love Natalie x
I totally get where you're coming from but I also think there are the times where the mindless is useful and the times where it isn't so I think your videos (the ones that are purely entertainment, not you're thought provoking ones like this) are valuable too. Last year I had depression and severe anxiety, and while I had purpose and passion I had no energy to do anything with it and forcing myself to "go through the motions" as some might say, was emotionally exhausting and could cause worse breakdowns - this was where the mindless viewing and entertainment became useful. I couldn't do anything with my time, so TH-cam in particular was a fantastic way to give myself a break when I needed. However this year I have recovered (at least with depression mostly) and I've also started my own business so self-employment and business growth has sucked my mental energy and I'm finding myself desperately trying to shake off the emotional escaping habits I formed last year - TH-cam and food addictions in particular. I don't really know where I'm going with this other than - different content has different value to people at different times in our lives and the key to success is to be mindful of whether our habits are beneficial at this period or not, and I'm glad you're promoting this form of mindfulness, while also refusing to make you think your "mindless" (for lack of a better word, for I never thought of you as this) content lacks value.
idk, i've never been so obsessed with a youtuber before. i started admiring you since 2015 or 2016 im not sure.. in love with you and your vids when i watched your daily makeup routine and then i started following you on social media. since then i always LOVEEE how you making your videos, about how much you REALLY care about your fansss OMG!☺️💛💛 you have a really good personality Claudia. and your body, your beauty i think its a PLUS for you.. never stop chasing your dream! you really bring a positive vibessss for us, your subs& fans!😊💖
This video made me think about what I really want to do in my life and to stop wasting time unto useless stuff. Thanks Claud! You're such a huge inspiration. -Much love from the Philippines 💓😊
Two of my main passions are mental health and writing and I have been taking the time lately to put energy into both everyday. No more excuses, I want to make a difference in the world, and not spend hours endlessly scrolling through Instagram
I'm 17 and I know everybody will say I'm still young...but I still don't know what I want to do in my life. In my country I have to make a decision next year....Can someone give me an advice? How do I find my dream job?
Miona Tesanovic what do you like? So that. There's to much pressure to choose just one thing. Do several things and keep going. Chances are you'll change careers once or twice in your life anyway.
Miona Tesanovic work as hard as you can towards your passions, don't give up when it gets tough (more than likely at times it will), don't lose yourself through the process of finding what your future holds for you!
I went through the same thing and what I did is that I took classes in a community college that interested me and it really helped! Don't be scared to try new things or things you've always wanted to try. I got into filming because i decided to try the class out and ended up loving it! Take your time and don't rush your decision just trust your gut :)
Do what makes you want to wake up everyday, do what makes you curious, do what excites you. I am currently 20 years old in my 3rd year of college and I am an accounting major. Accounting isn't for everyone, but for me it drives me to work so much harder and learn so much in life. It's a career that makes me want to do more and make me a better person. I highly recommend finding something that speaks to you deeply, and even if what you pick first isn't what you thought it was going to be, doesn't mean you are stuck. You have your whole life to find your career and what you love doing. I hope you find something 💖💖💖
Wow Claudia. I love all your videos so much and get so freaken excited when I see you post. But this video was just incredible. I just got back from a missions trip to Rwanda Africa, and what you were talking about with regards to time, legit I've been thinking soooo much about . We had wifi maybe 4 x in the 3 weeks we were there and it was so nice to be present and disconnect. However being back home I've been slipping back into endless scrolling like you were talking about and I NEEDED this soo much! ( im tearing up writing this ) I know you might not see this but I just wanted to say thank you, and that you inspire me so much. I am so proud of how far you've come and to see how happy you are talking about your passions, made me happy. Keep being you and more videos like this please !🙏🏼 love you ❤️🇨🇦
I recommend reading Bonnie Gillespie's "Self-Management for Actors", Larry Moss' "Intent to Live", Tim Phillips' "Audition for your career, not the job", and "Ivana Chubbuck's "The Power of the Actor." Good good good stuff! There's also so many awesome podcasts like "KCRW's The Business" and "Kahnversations." Also, I LOVE watching the Actor's Roundtable discussions - so many awesome nuggets of wisdom! I know exactly how you're feeling, but just keep on keeping on like you're doing and work on your craft every chance you get! When you keep moving toward that goal, something will happen! ❤
i totally get what you're saying about obsessing over stuff. i really want to write for TV and so i watch endless interviews with writers and watch tons of episodes of tv shows that inspire me and it's the best feeling even though it takes time away from other stuff. but seriously this is so relatable.
Claudia, I 100% disagree that your channel is "mindless". You working out and showing your healthy eating has inspired me to work out and start being happy with my body. It really is the little things! But I do agree that its good to have a little break and do something "mindless". You have an excellent balance of those. I love your videos and your beautiful, bright personality! Thank you so much for being yourself and inspiring me and so many others. You are truly amazing!!
Oh my lord, Claudia I love you so so much! This little rant thing or whatever you wanna call it just made me realize how much time I'm throwing away just sitting on my phone scrolling through looking at dumb and pretty irrelevant things when I could be doing something to benefit the people around me as well as myself. Also doing things that actually matter, thank you so much for this video lol again I love you and keep doing what you do girl!!💜💜
I needed this video so badly. I think that the majority of your fans would support you diving fully into acting, which is clearly your passion, and continuing to upload content only to your Vlog channel. this is the stuff we all love- you sharing your unfiltered, deep, relatable thoughts that make us feel connected and not alone :) Sincerely, someone your age who just moved to LA and also can find herself spending hours on the mindless bullshit. ❤️💕
I feel like you're becoming such wise and mature young adult and I love that I can see it happening through out you vlogs and videos. It also helps ME see things clearer, I feel like a grow watching you, so thank you very much for this 💘
Recently I have been more cautious with how im spending my time and day . I also myself notice how much time im on my phone when i could be reading book, going to the library, drawing , painting actually doing stuff that stimulates my brain. Thanks clauds for the vlogs !
I love your long vlogs! I really appreciate this video and can really relate to it. I have been acting the same way lately and realized I have been this way since.. FOREVER. But since yesterday I have been in a slump and not feeling the best. But this reminded me that I have things to do and need to stay busy and keep my head up. Thanks Claud ❤
Claudia- Watching your vlogs inspire me to do something with my life. When I watch and see all the amazing things you are doing for yourself it pushes me to want to do more. I want to start eating healthier, start working out, you inspire me to be independent and work harder. Thank you so much for everything you do because for me, it's making a difference. Love you claud :) 😘
I stg I was literally thinking about that a few weeks ago and it makes so happy that you're sharing that with us since you have these huge platform 👏 I mean, it's not bad if you want to scroll down your feed and stuff if you have nothing to do throughout your day, but make sure everything is surrounded by positivity or filled with vibes that will make of you a better person. You know what I mean? Real nice vlog's, Claud 💕
As much as I love your more preaching videos this one felt extremely genuine. I've been in a strange mental state for a while and I'm constantly trying to get out of it because I'm ALWAYS in my own head and I always think very existentially and I think life is easier lived when it's simpler. I have passions that I force out because I get caught up with school, work, friends, family and legal issues and it's just easier to forget when I'm living my life through other people on social media. I don't really scroll through Instagram like you but I binge watch shows frequently to the point that I fall out of touch with reality. As hard as it is juggling everything trying to stay afloat by doing stuff that I love will hopefully help. Idk if that made any sense
I feel like in a way how much social media we consume it can be bad but at the same time it helps us form opinions and helps us develop our own thoughts about different situations. But thank you for this, these kind of vlogs where you just talk to us and just say what's on your mind makes me happy :)
Claudia, I'm not sure you understand how much your deep talk really just motivated me and made me feel so good. I felt like I just had a long talk with my friend, and the thing is, I don't really associate with my friends and family anymore because I'm so caught up in me me me. Which isn't a bad thing, but because I'm so busy doing me; working 2 jobs, going to school, taking extra online courses, volunteering...I'm so consumed in me that I forget about other people around me. And the time that I have to myself, I spend it on social media and I start to compare my lifestyle to others and I wish I had time with my friends and family...I wish I had time to prep food and eat healthy, go to the gym. My everyday schedule starts from 5am-11pm everyday. Something about this long talk really made me feel like I need to step back and relax. Focus on my mind and body, emotionally and physically.
you go girl! now is the time to be selfish and work on what you really want and feel passionate about. The best investment you can make is investing the time to work on yourself :) Way to be!
I totally get it... but I think it's also all about balance! designate as much time as you can to doing things that will only better yourself and who you want to become. While still reaching out to friends and family so they don't feel like they've gotten the cold shoulder from you AND that way you're not missing out :) I'm only 20 as well and all my friends are out clubbing and thats just not my mindset... and you shouldn't feel bad if your priorities are different than other people your age!
RTRTRTRT
Cat Tang THIS COMMENT 🙌🙌🙌 reading this comment my mind was like "oh my gosh me too... me too.. ME TOO WHAT THE" like legit the working 2 jobs, school, comparing myself to others on social media and trying to be healthy and do meal preps and AGH. Relating to you so hard rn and sending you good vibes to get through the busy routine of life 👍🏻
Paige Cunningham ahhh! Thank you thank you! Likewise Paige! It's tough but I know it's gonna be worth it in the end! We can do this!
These last 12 months of me being out of college has changed me so much. I cried a lot, spent a lot of money, changed emotionally, physically ups and downs, but the biggest is that I don't even know what I want to do next. I hate not having a plan to really understand my capacity and commitment to the life I want to pursue. Ughhh life is weird. I'm weird. Seeing u so happy makes me want that same genuine love of life. Thank you for this, we love you !
Im about to eneter college and i really dont know what i want to pursue in life because i dont know what im good at and therefore you are not alone! i see you went through it all girl and its all going to be worth it dont worry too much and just expirement on things and maybe youll find something you love(: or its all in the matter of time everything happens for a reason and i hope the best for you and i hope life does you better
I can relate to this soo much ^^^
hello its me RELATABLE
This is literally what I just went through! I'm doing a lot better now and actually heading in a direction I think I'm happy with but also still don't know what I want to do long-term. It's a weird thing, trying to figure out life and goals and all that. Best of luck to you!
Same same same
I love when you talk about anything like this, I love listening to people talk about important meaningful topics, what their passionate about, their goals in life, literally anything because we can all learn from other people and how each of us view life and just other things in different ways, I would love if you included chatty parts into your vlogs once in a while, I think it could be really good for you and for others, you could just give your opinions and talk about what ever is on your mind, so thank you for your words
I agree!
Same! I love how claudia can actually use her social media presence to influence and motivate other people.
Bruh, the only thing im putting hours into is netflix and sleep
No but seriously, I really enjoyed this talk claudia!
claudia. u dont need to act. u need to become a motivational speaker!! i would love to see you giving a ted ed talk one day!!
Same
Me too!
I resonated with everything you said, but the last point really hit me hard. While it's true that often the videos beauty/lifestyle vloggers post seem frivolous, I definitely think that it's helpful. Your home decor vlogs motivated me to start finally shopping for my apartment, and your makeup videos help me reach a confident level with wearing makeup and feeling good about wearing makeup, but also enjoying makeup free days. At the end of the day it's what you take from it and how you view it/ use it. Your channels are helpful in more ways than one and I hope you continue to pursue this. :)
RandomKK101 it's so true. It's all about your perspective and what you take away from it
I rarely ever actually listen to long talks on youtube but I'm glad I did. I really love how passionate you are about this topic and the look in your eyes was such a beautiful thing to see, so pure. I really needed this I actually started tearing up a bit! this motivated me to make my time worthwhile and not be at home or on social media on my free time. thank you, you're an angel claudia✨🦋🌺
You're right, I've noticed the change in you ever since you've moved out into your own home. You appear very "at peace" and it's showing in your energy and how you're communicating to everyone through these vlogs! I really love your presence on TH-cam. You touched on some really wonderful key points about the role of social media. Everything about you is so refreshing! Sending lots of love to you ❤️
I get what you mean. It happened to me, spending so much hours in social media and wondering where my day went at the end of the day. So I made some changes in my day to day activities so that what I do is beneficial for me (join online trainings, read my books, talk to friends, etc). I still check social media when I need a break or just relax. I really appreciate when you post videos where you talk to us and share your thoughts. I think you're really a good role model. You're motivated and inspire a lot people. I can tell how much you respect/love your craft and I really think you can go places because of your mindset and attitude.
your positivity is so contagious claudia and every time i listen to your own experiences and findings, i have a desire to strive to do more with my life and to look at the brighter side of things
Claudia, I dont believe your videos are mindless at all. You inspire me (and millions of others) to eat healthy, take care of your body, work hard, and every one of your videos motivates me in some way! Your fashion and beauty vlogs have influenced my sense of fashion (and how I like to express myself) and have made thousands of others feel better about themselves. Your videos are not mindless at all but I understand your point of focusing your time on the important things in life which i agree with 100%.
Claudia I love your vlogs! They're really upbeat and they make me want to be productive!
Your videos are definitely not mindless! You radiate such positivity and you inspire me to be happy with every video you post. Love watching your videos regardless of the content.
I'm not much older than you but I'm 23 and I can tell you're hitting that age where you start realizing everything and getting extremely passionate about the important things in life. It's maturity hitting you. Its mentally overwhelming but it feels really good deep down. You are such an intelligent and productive person, you should be proud of yourself!
This is honestly why I love your channel, Claudia. You really make me think about how i'm living my life. I'm only 15 years old, but I always seem to find myself falling into the hole of being lazy and being on my phone on social media for hours and just wasting my time on pointless things when I know I could be doing something better with my time and just stuff I know that would help me in the long run. I just feel that I have major procrastination problems...when I always wish that I could have a better lifestyle...Ughhh I idk idk
Omg I really needed this! I have recently deleted all my social media for the most part and have began focusing more on myself and what's really important to me. Especially just being more independent in this part of my life I think I really needed this. I would make myself upset or be emotional over things I didn't have any control over. I have always been so inspired by you! Thank you x1000 I'm so glad you're so open about this! Love you 💛
you're so motivating Claudia! You're not doing just mindless content at all. Every video that I see of you every once in a while is fresh air for me, I mean it makes me think a lot about my life and the things that seem important to me so huge THANK YOU!! Keep sharing those inspiring thoughts :)
I love watching / listening to your chatty vlogs whilst organising and planning. I enjoy listening to what you have to say and your outlook on certain things. keep up the good work! xx
Your vlogs seriously make my day. When I'm not having a good day, I watch your videos and get overjoyed! You make me motivated to go out and do productive things! You are literally so down to earth, and when I watch your videos I feel like I'm hanging out with a friend. You are so talented and amazing at what you do and I hope be at least half of the astonishing person that you are!
Thank you Claud! Every single one of your talks get me so motivated. I have realized that I have been spending my time on my phone, scrolling through youtube and instagram without any idea of what am I looking for. Instead of getting up in the morning and going to the gym or for a run, I would lay in my bed on my phone for hours dreaming about the perfect body... Also, I have to study because I have some exams left for the end of the August, but instead of studying I've been doing literally nothing. Your talk was a punch in my face, but in a good way. It got me to the point of realizing that I'm constantly wasting my time and that I need to become picky about what am I spending it on, just like you. Thank you to the moon and back!
You always motivate me to keep going and work hard. Whether it's my channel, school, or even just working out. Thank you so much Claudia.
I have been watching your videos for awhile and I wanted to tell you that you really are a lovely person. Watching your videos always makes me feel better. Seeing you happy and following your dreams really encourages me to do the same! :)
I f-ing love you. You're so down to earth I love it.
I love watching these types of deep talks in your vlogs Claudia. I would definitely say that you're the #1 most motivating youtuber that i watch. I always feel happy after watching your videos and never regret 'wasting my time' watching TH-cam videos. I feel like our mindset is very similar so that's probably why i've been subscribed to your channel for so many years. I'm so proud of all of your success and hope that all of your dreams come true in the future. Love ya ❤️
you can genuinely see Claudia's happiness with acting because the entire time she was talking about it, she was glowing and smiling. please don't let youtube get in the way of really launching you're acting career because a true subscriber would understand. if anything you could post more about acting if it makes you happy! there's alot of people looking for guidance in that career.
Hey!
I work at a talent agency in Hollywood! For advice, we are always pushing clients to take acting classes, but something that is REALLY useful especially for someone like you would be a college course. There are many theater schools out there or even just private/community colleges that allow you to sign up for one course and it's a great way to learn but not have to commit weeks straight. Most courses are just one day a week or two days a week and trust me that is more than enough to expand your knowledge and keep up the practice. There also improv classes you can take PER session. And acting coaches are also recommended because you can use them regularly or to prep for each audition. This might also sound silly but a film history course could really help you too. I took one at Woodbury university in Burbank, CA. The guy was super cool and we literally just watched movies and then dissected everything about them- from the acting to the shot composition. Also just on TH-cam- the user name Every Frame Of Painting is my favorite channel- it breaks down movies and every single one has a new topic of theme to discuss from directing to acting. It also will make you want to watch more movies! I hope that helps you! Good Luck :)
I'm 19 years old and this year hasn't been the best. There's been a lot of hurt, pain and distractions that came along with 2017; not only for me, but for my family and those around me. My ex just recently broke up with me because of how distracted I was and how he couldn't find it in himself to make the time anymore and that put another weight of hurt on my shoulders, you know? I've been watching your vlogs and your main channel videos for years now and they honestly help a lot. It's been about three weeks of me learning how to be single again and how to replan all the things in my future that involved him. And within those three weeks I have realized so much about myself and my drive to be something that is more than what I am right now. And just to know that like youtubers or celebrities have these moments in their lives that they need to readjust and they need to make different plans and create different things is so refreshing and motivating. So thank you for being a person who motivates and inspires people to thrive in the things they want to do because one voice can change a lot. And you, Claudia, have that voice. I love you so much and thank you! ♥️
I love the positivity you show us. Being realistic though, we all have ups and downs. You seem to be happy 24/7 and yeah I understand you only show us a small glimpse of your life. I'm not trying to be negative at all because I've always been supportive towards you. No one ever has a perfect life, showing your down sides doesn't make you weak.
Oh my god, I've been having a real tough time lately with anxiety and friends suffering from depression and this video somehow gave me the push I needed and made me motivated again for the first time in a while. Thank you so so much Claudia, love you
Your energy and productivity is so contagious !!! Loving these vibes!
Absolutely loved this video. Keep these chats coming, super inspirational.
Loved this! I would love to hear you talk more about pursuing your dreams/stepping out of your comfort zone/taking risks to accomplish your goals. So many of us (myself included!) get stuck in ruts where we think our dreams are way too far out of our reach and won't take a risk to get what we want out of life.
I agree! I used to spend a lot of time on social media and then one day my school had a phone free day and I had a realization-I spent so much time on social media and what I thought was important to know and look at but then the next day, I would only remember about 10% of it - at most. My time could've and should've been spent playing with my dog, going for a run, or watching something worth watching with information that will matter the next day. Now I'm trying to spend a lot less time on my phone and social media because it's really not that important and it's not beneficial. :) Thanks Claudia you're awesome!
And this is why I think you're so successful. You literally put 110% in everything you do and that is an amazing quality to have! Keep up the good work :)
This motivated me so much, recently I am at a point in my life where I am making so many important decisions and working so hard for school therefore my free time is precious, and I admit I get drawn into the endless scrolling but this had awaken them idea that I can go and do other things and I can chose who and when I hang out with. It's made me realise I have control over my life and I am the only person who can create the person who I want to be and that no one else is going to do it for me. Thank you so much it had really helped me out of this rut I have been in.
I needed a new video from Claud's to make my day better:) thanks doll you are my idol
I swear, it's gonna be SOOOOOOOO cool to look back on this exact video when you've made it big in the industry and will have landed a huge role in a movie or televised series.
But this message was much needed for me b/c I'm pursuing modeling and I always find myself feeling like I'm not making the most of the time that I have. I may not be where I want to be at the moment but I can continuously work towards it by increasing my knowledge of the craft.
Claudias vlogs are seriously my fav
passion is one of the best things in life and it is so awesome to see you, one of my favorite youtubers, research, read, write, and think!!! Educating yourself is so important and it is always so interesting to see that our interests could be worlds apart, but our passion and willingness to absorb new information is so similar. thank u claud
Claudia i feel the same way about learning right now. I'm so obsessed with reading and I want to take classes and learn so much! I am in such a similar place in life you are! You're going to do great! I promise
thank you for the constant motivation!! I am veryyy unmotivated and ungrateful and lately have been trying to stay conscious of that. I still need help with staying motivated considering I have existential depression & overthink every little thing...but watching your vlogs is so helpful! it'd be cool if you made a full video about staying positive / gratefulness / changing your mindset
i love this girl! your vlogs this year have pushed me to do better and have motivated me to really go after the things i want in a more ferocious way! i've started to work out more, read more and get back to the things that i know i love and really make time for the things i know will only make me better. and i agree with you completely about cutting out the mindless scrolling that we've all been accustomed to! i catch myself checking my instagram and snapchat just for the sake of checking them, and it's become a tick almost :( we all need to take a little break from the mindless and be more conscious and present in our own lives, and filter our intake down to things that will bring us to a place that's better than we were before :) all the love to you claudia!
I think it should be known that as a 26 year old pursuing a creative career (musician) I find your videos not only refreshing after a day of hard work but also incredibly inspiring. To say your videos are similar "pointless scrolling" is definitely not accurate. I find that no matter what you post, whether it be a main video or vlog that your work ethic shines through. To see someone who is career driven, self-motivated and constantly striving to learn should NOT be discredited. Claudia, I sincerely enjoy you as a person even without knowing you personally. I think you are showing the young women who watch your channel an extremely positive and SMART life as an influencer. You have also proven yourself to be more than that and let every woman know that your dream is achievable no matter who you are as long as you educate and dedicate yourself. I hope that this message reaches you and you understand that you make up the small percentage of influencers who are actually trying to change the world through encouraging their viewers to be uniquely themselves and nourish their minds with positivity and knowledge. Continue right along your path. Your support system is huge because you support each and every one of us. Much love from Dallas ❤️
This is so important!! Your advice can be taken anyway it doesn't necessarily mean for acting we all can be planning and devoting time to our dreams like researching people in any industry! Woah girl
claudia, this is why you're one of my favorite youtubers. you talk about real shit that will actually make me a better person, instead of just filling my brain with content about youtubers doing random shit and living a luxurious life just 'cause they were fortunate enough to make a living doing youtube. keep living your best life, and thanks for sharing it with us all!!
Honestly, I can't tell you how much this sir down meant to me. It felt like you were talking to me, all of us watching, and not just to a camera. And it really made an impact to me. I've spent my whole life moving and moving and if not moving then studying and working hard to get into uni. I've barely had time for myself or to do things a normal person my age would do. I can relate to how you felt before your vlog break and it's made me realize that I need to stop for a moment. Even during summer, I've been practicing for sports next year and studying for the SAT and other things. And I can agree with other people that it's definitely made me think about having me time and "being a human again."
I just wanted to thank you in general and I love you and take all the vlog breaks/breaks you need ♡
i hope you never feel that your content is mindless. everytime i watch your videos they motivate me to balance my life, continue to eat healthy, workout, clean, etc. and in the end ensure that whatever it is im doing, that it makes me happy and fulfilled. especially after watching your vlogs i can't help but feel that there is always something i can be doing to live out to my fullest potential. love ya clauds!
you're so good at doing creative videos, like that night rutine you did once... you should do that more often you're sooooo good!!!
Please start like a tea time with Claudia because I love these sit downs!
what a legend. honestly claudia you motivate me so much just by being motivated yourself
In today's society, I'm really happy to say that I have no social media. No peer pressure that makes me want to look like something I'm not, no "ooh look what I got, jelly?", and no "look where I've been, #lifegoals". I don't feel the need to update my status and tweet every few seconds because I don't really see the reason why. And so, I'm also proud of myself when I type this: I put my hours into putting smiles on people's faces. I put my hours into helping people have a better day, let out a genuine laugh. I put my hours into living and being myself, without thinking who will see it, and what anyone would think of me. I enjoy every moment that I'm in, I take photos of the people and places I wouldn't want to lose the memory of, I don't see life through my phone screen. I feel like, it's a waste of time, spending hours and hours on phones, apps that are pointless, unnecessary hate sessions, the list goes on..
I'm just really happy to say I have been putting my hours into building a life for myself that doesn't involve any of these and I like to say that I'm doing a good job at it.
Thank you, Claudia, for taking the time to have a deep conversation with your audience, I personally, immensely enjoyed it xx
I love this so much. It was entertaining but also wasn't just a vlog, it made us think and consider things, which I love!!
You're such a relatable girl, meaning that like I feel like I can relate to you in such a casual and easy way, like you're a big sister on the internet for me. Your long deep talks really do change my mindset and this video has kind of opened my mind because until now I haven't even realized how much I've been sucked into the Internet world. Thank you for just doing you Claudia!!! You inspire me daily
Claudia, can I just say that every time you start talking about your love for acting and everything, it gets me thinking about my dream. The dream I have had for myself for as long as I can remember, literally I remember being 2 years old and thinking to myself how I wanted that dream. The dream that idea of going for it scares me shitless and if I really start to think about it, I start to cry. You have made something in me think more about it and I've been wanting it more and more recently. And I really think its because of you. I don't know if Im going to ever pursue it, but you've definitely made me want to pursue it. Keep doing you Claudia!!
Claudia, you're one of my favourite internet people. Although we'll never meet in person, it always feels like you're a friend I've grown up with (literally because I've been watching you since the beginning). I feel you have a great ability to be down to earth, informed and have real conversations. Even though the conversations are happening through the camera, it feels like I am/we are participating in the dialogue with you. You have a great way of inspiring people, being relatable and including us in your growth. As you grow, I think we also grow with you. It's a lovely feeling that you share with all of this with us. I really enjoyed this talk and reflection.
Thank you for these moments. I truly believe that by watching your videos I get more and more motivated to find what drives me and what I'm really passionate about. Not to mention that it's soooo refreshing to see someone HAPPY with their life. Thanks for being you and for posting these amazing rambling thoughtful vlogs. Love xx
this is why i love you claudia! it's crazy how you posted this video and this last week i've been working hard on growing my craft in photography and making videos and building a website. little signs like these keep me going. def subbing to the channel you were talking about
i love when you talk about things you're passionate about and share things that can improve yourself. i think you should make a video with suggestions of random things like books and movies and even the five minute journal. like a favorites video but instead of talking about products you could talk about self improvement. you could keep documenting your journey on your youtube which will be nice for you to look back on and it can also help others with their personal journeys as well. i love when you talk about this stuff! can you tell? lol love you clauds
did this make any sense? lol i think i expressed what i was trying to say clearly but i never know
Hi Claudia, I rarely ever comment but thank you for this video, it really encouraged me to push my personal boundaries and to strive to be good at what i'm doing!!! And i guess this is all part of loving and valuing yourself as an individual. Keep going girl!
I'm not even kidding, before watching this video I was so unmotivated, i was thinking about quitting something that's so important to me bc i didn't see results and stuff, and what are the odds that I clicked on this video and you are talking about motivation and all of bunch pf stuff that I needed to hear.. Wow I'm mind blown, please do more vlogs even just sitting down like this and talking to the camera about everything really, it motivates me and a lot of people, you can realize it just by scrolling down in the comments! I love these videos and I love listening to you talking, it's so nice to hear someone dealing with your same problem and resolving it at the same time, it helped a lot! Thank you Claudia
to the mindless clothing video comment : none of it is really mindless - social media allows for more and more information to be absorbed ( whether good or bad ) people take it in. and some may not think that a video about makeup or clothing is stimulating - when in fact you get to see different patterns and styles of clothes that maybe you've never seen. you get to witness what youtubers enjoy. for me, i love seeing individual and unique styles - it's one of the main reasons that i follow claudia. my own personal style has def been inspired by her, and now that she's making more content about the mind - my brain gets to be inspired too 💖
luv ya : keep doin you gurl 😊✨
I am going through the same stage in my life right now, and it feels so good to know that other people understand and feel the same. I was about to slow down, but your video gave me that push that I needed. Thank you Claudia.
There is a difference between pretty pictures and videos that you tubers like you make! All of your videos are helpful and definitely entertaining. Saying your videos are the equivalent to mindless social media scrolls is like saying movies have no purpose. It's the entertainment industry, people watch and you do your job in a full circle. Your videos make people happy, including me, in the exact way movies make people happy. Also your TH-cam, for me, serves as my personal motivation board so it really is useful aside from entertainment. Love you so much and keep doing what you love to do cause that's the only way you should live your life!
That house is such a DREAM
i love acting so much!! i'm 18 and have been doing theatre my whole life and am currently in the process of auditioning for college acting programs, and i get really frustrated with youtubers who just jump right in and get acting gigs seemingly off of their fame alone, but this was a really good refreshing reminder for me to be less judgey, because people (like you!) clearly love it so much and are working really hard! i'm happy for you!
Hi Claudia! I'm 18 years old and I watch your videos since I was very young. I love this kind of vlogs because you have the chance to show your true self. These chats really help me and motivate me to not waste my time on superficial stuff and be productive. I really appreciate that you take the time to chat with us and write those posts because they are really helpful. These chats push me to improve my behavior, to be ambitious in order to achieve my goals and make me feel good. Usually I don't leave comments but I felt the need to thank you for your work. Love you:)
"how incredible must it be to have something that makes you feel so alive" ahhh i'm forever rooting for you, claudia!!!! go get your dreams girl 💓
This put me in a good mindser and gave me some perspective on a few things. Thanks Clauds!
Where did you buy that yellow jacket?😍
its free people i think!
Yes it's Free People. I haven't been able to find it anywhere! If you find it lmk :)
Leah Carton I think it's sold out
Free people pipeline hoodie! Yeah i think most if not all the sizes and colors are sold out :(
You never fail to inspire me Claudia, this video made wanna get out of bed and start learning things, exploring the world and meeting new people. The way you see life and how wisely you talk about things its amusing. I think you deserve all the best in the world for inspiring so many people like me. By the way, I could hear you rambling about life for hours, so dont worry about the vlog being too long. I love you!
your instagram post really motivated me, don't stop making content and sharing ur knowledge
I love that you have this positive, dedicated attitude to actually being a professional in acting and doing it for real at the same level as life-long actors, as opposed to some other influencers / youtubers who just do it on the side but don't really dedicate much time to mastering the craft. It's also really inspiring to me as I'm also trying to change my career path in a completely new direction where other people have been training for it for years, and I need this kind of motivation to put all those extra hours in! xxx
Thank you Claudia! I needed this video and was hoping you'd post a video explaining your Instagram post and how you were feeling. Honestly your channel helps me to sit back and reevaluate or just take a look back and re think life with these talks. Love it! Ahhh makes me feel so good :) Love YUHHHHHH
Whenever you have a talk and mention about something that people choose to avoid talking about, it just gives me that click in my mind like, I should really change how I spend my time and all sorts and it's really helpful because I'm spending time watching your videos so that I can treasure my time more as time comes. Thank you for this :)
I think the problem with today's world is that the 'distractions' you talked about (instagram pictures, funny videos, entertainment of this kind) stop to be just a quick 5-minute breaks. We actually start to spend more time on the 'quick distractions' rather than on what we actually do (study, create, whatever it is). When the order is reversed, we kind of lose sense of what is the actual purpose of our actions and we get sucked in. Extremely happy you talked about it Claudia, pozdrowienia z Polski ❤️
You're my BIGGEST inspiration. So intelligent and your values and opinions are amazing.
Honestly this isn't the first video where you say something along the lines of TH-cam just not crossing your mind and really I think this saying is so good all good things must come to an end. Your TH-cam channel and all it is and will be and what not is amazing and I've loved every second of it, but you should explore what else is out there! You should do all you want to do without fear of having to say no due to a prior obligation. You can recognize that TH-cam got you this far and the doors it's opened up for you but I think it'd be a really fun journey to see what it's like if you pursued acting without a TH-cam channel. Or at least no main channel and you just vlog whatever cool experiences you have. This is your one life and it's only yours so don't live in the fear and thought of disappointing your viewers. If they truly love your content they'd watch you on their tv, phones or in a movie theater.
I'm here to watch Claudia shine
I wish so bad I knew someone like you in my life. I loved this vlog, I love your vlogs. I love them because you get to see you and it's a platform where you share your thoughts like the ones in todays vlog which are so so important. Thank you for making these! I wish I could just sit down with you and chat in person I feel like we'd have so much to talk about haha. I've recently been trying out similar things like using my time better, educating myself through maybe watching documentaries on topics I find interesting like the ocean and conservation (chasing coral on Netflix is amazing btw you might like it). I've also taken up a hobby in running... but like properly running, marathon running and maybe not life changing to others it's helping me so much with anxiety and my mental health because I'm fuelling my bad into good. Using all the energy anxiety takes in my body and channeling it into my legs to run. It's so fun to get sucked into techniques on how to be faster and stronger and train better and to have goals and sign up for races. I'm loving the energy you are putting out in the world right now, you're on such a great track in life and I look up to you so much. Lots of love Natalie x
I totally get where you're coming from but I also think there are the times where the mindless is useful and the times where it isn't so I think your videos (the ones that are purely entertainment, not you're thought provoking ones like this) are valuable too. Last year I had depression and severe anxiety, and while I had purpose and passion I had no energy to do anything with it and forcing myself to "go through the motions" as some might say, was emotionally exhausting and could cause worse breakdowns - this was where the mindless viewing and entertainment became useful. I couldn't do anything with my time, so TH-cam in particular was a fantastic way to give myself a break when I needed. However this year I have recovered (at least with depression mostly) and I've also started my own business so self-employment and business growth has sucked my mental energy and I'm finding myself desperately trying to shake off the emotional escaping habits I formed last year - TH-cam and food addictions in particular.
I don't really know where I'm going with this other than - different content has different value to people at different times in our lives and the key to success is to be mindful of whether our habits are beneficial at this period or not, and I'm glad you're promoting this form of mindfulness, while also refusing to make you think your "mindless" (for lack of a better word, for I never thought of you as this) content lacks value.
I love your driving vlogs girl my favorite!🙏🏼
idk, i've never been so obsessed with a youtuber before. i started admiring you since 2015 or 2016 im not sure.. in love with you and your vids when i watched your daily makeup routine and then i started following you on social media. since then i always LOVEEE how you making your videos, about how much you REALLY care about your fansss OMG!☺️💛💛 you have a really good personality Claudia. and your body, your beauty i think its a PLUS for you.. never stop chasing your dream! you really bring a positive vibessss for us, your subs& fans!😊💖
This video made me think about what I really want to do in my life and to stop wasting time unto useless stuff. Thanks Claud! You're such a huge inspiration.
-Much love from the Philippines 💓😊
Two of my main passions are mental health and writing and I have been taking the time lately to put energy into both everyday. No more excuses, I want to make a difference in the world, and not spend hours endlessly scrolling through Instagram
keep on inspiring people Claudia.you're doing good!
I'm 17 and I know everybody will say I'm still young...but I still don't know what I want to do in my life. In my country I have to make a decision next year....Can someone give me an advice? How do I find my dream job?
Miona Tesanovic what do you like? So that. There's to much pressure to choose just one thing. Do several things and keep going. Chances are you'll change careers once or twice in your life anyway.
Miona Tesanovic work as hard as you can towards your passions, don't give up when it gets tough (more than likely at times it will), don't lose yourself through the process of finding what your future holds for you!
I went through the same thing and what I did is that I took classes in a community college that interested me and it really helped! Don't be scared to try new things or things you've always wanted to try. I got into filming because i decided to try the class out and ended up loving it! Take your time and don't rush your decision just trust your gut :)
Do what makes you want to wake up everyday, do what makes you curious, do what excites you. I am currently 20 years old in my 3rd year of college and I am an accounting major. Accounting isn't for everyone, but for me it drives me to work so much harder and learn so much in life. It's a career that makes me want to do more and make me a better person. I highly recommend finding something that speaks to you deeply, and even if what you pick first isn't what you thought it was going to be, doesn't mean you are stuck. You have your whole life to find your career and what you love doing. I hope you find something 💖💖💖
Same here same age, youre not alone and i hope you find something you love throughout this short time decesion!!!
Wow Claudia. I love all your videos so much and get so freaken excited when I see you post. But this video was just incredible. I just got back from a missions trip to Rwanda Africa, and what you were talking about with regards to time, legit I've been thinking soooo much about . We had wifi maybe 4 x in the 3 weeks we were there and it was so nice to be present and disconnect. However being back home I've been slipping back into endless scrolling like you were talking about and I NEEDED this soo much! ( im tearing up writing this ) I know you might not see this but I just wanted to say thank you, and that you inspire me so much. I am so proud of how far you've come and to see how happy you are talking about your passions, made me happy. Keep being you and more videos like this please !🙏🏼 love you ❤️🇨🇦
I recommend reading Bonnie Gillespie's "Self-Management for Actors", Larry Moss' "Intent to Live", Tim Phillips' "Audition for your career, not the job", and "Ivana Chubbuck's "The Power of the Actor." Good good good stuff! There's also so many awesome podcasts like "KCRW's The Business" and "Kahnversations." Also, I LOVE watching the Actor's Roundtable discussions - so many awesome nuggets of wisdom! I know exactly how you're feeling, but just keep on keeping on like you're doing and work on your craft every chance you get! When you keep moving toward that goal, something will happen! ❤
i totally get what you're saying about obsessing over stuff. i really want to write for TV and so i watch endless interviews with writers and watch tons of episodes of tv shows that inspire me and it's the best feeling even though it takes time away from other stuff. but seriously this is so relatable.
Claudia, I 100% disagree that your channel is "mindless". You working out and showing your healthy eating has inspired me to work out and start being happy with my body. It really is the little things! But I do agree that its good to have a little break and do something "mindless". You have an excellent balance of those. I love your videos and your beautiful, bright personality! Thank you so much for being yourself and inspiring me and so many others. You are truly amazing!!
Oh my lord, Claudia I love you so so much! This little rant thing or whatever you wanna call it just made me realize how much time I'm throwing away just sitting on my phone scrolling through looking at dumb and pretty irrelevant things when I could be doing something to benefit the people around me as well as myself. Also doing things that actually matter, thank you so much for this video lol again I love you and keep doing what you do girl!!💜💜
I needed this video so badly. I think that the majority of your fans would support you diving fully into acting, which is clearly your passion, and continuing to upload content only to your Vlog channel. this is the stuff we all love- you sharing your unfiltered, deep, relatable thoughts that make us feel connected and not alone :)
Sincerely, someone your age who just moved to LA and also can find herself spending hours on the mindless bullshit. ❤️💕
I feel like you're becoming such wise and mature young adult and I love that I can see it happening through out you vlogs and videos. It also helps ME see things clearer, I feel like a grow watching you, so thank you very much for this 💘
YOU ARE AMAZING AND I LOVE YOU. ❤️
Recently I have been more cautious with how im spending my time and day . I also myself notice how much time im on my phone when i could be reading book, going to the library, drawing , painting actually doing stuff that stimulates my brain. Thanks clauds for the vlogs !
your energy inspires me so much!
I love your long vlogs! I really appreciate this video and can really relate to it. I have been acting the same way lately and realized I have been this way since.. FOREVER. But since yesterday I have been in a slump and not feeling the best. But this reminded me that I have things to do and need to stay busy and keep my head up. Thanks Claud ❤
Claudia- Watching your vlogs inspire me to do something with my life. When I watch and see all the amazing things you are doing for yourself it pushes me to want to do more. I want to start eating healthier, start working out, you inspire me to be independent and work harder. Thank you so much for everything you do because for me, it's making a difference. Love you claud :) 😘
I stg I was literally thinking about that a few weeks ago and it makes so happy that you're sharing that with us since you have these huge platform 👏 I mean, it's not bad if you want to scroll down your feed and stuff if you have nothing to do throughout your day, but make sure everything is surrounded by positivity or filled with vibes that will make of you a better person. You know what I mean?
Real nice vlog's, Claud 💕
As much as I love your more preaching videos this one felt extremely genuine. I've been in a strange mental state for a while and I'm constantly trying to get out of it because I'm ALWAYS in my own head and I always think very existentially and I think life is easier lived when it's simpler. I have passions that I force out because I get caught up with school, work, friends, family and legal issues and it's just easier to forget when I'm living my life through other people on social media. I don't really scroll through Instagram like you but I binge watch shows frequently to the point that I fall out of touch with reality. As hard as it is juggling everything trying to stay afloat by doing stuff that I love will hopefully help. Idk if that made any sense
I feel like in a way how much social media we consume it can be bad but at the same time it helps us form opinions and helps us develop our own thoughts about different situations.
But thank you for this, these kind of vlogs where you just talk to us and just say what's on your mind makes me happy :)
