    I'm 31, married, child-free, 1 dog from Iran. I love your videos because you are real. I'm sick of TH-camrs living in big fancy expensive new houses that are always clean and showing off their lives. I love you because you talk about everything both positive and negative and show your life both sides (positive and negative) and make me feel I'm not alone. There are people like me. People like me exist. I don't need to feel sorry for myself because I don't have a house like those TH-camrs. I don't need to feel sorry for myself because my house is always messy and not clean and sometimes just too depressed and tired to clean. Sorry for my weak English I know my English sucks but I just wanted to thank you for your effort and courage to show the real YOU and your real LIFE and I really appreciate that. And you are very beautiful inside and outside and your life is beautiful too it's warm and nice I love your dog too I love your house and lifestyle I am learning so many things from you please keep posting videos LOVE FROM IRAN❤🥰

    ❤❤ So proud of you! Everyone has had this experience and many of us have dealt with full blown depression. As a therapist and also a person with depression I can say you did ALL the right things and it must have been so hard, but I'll bet it was pretty successful! If you're in a funk or depressed you should do whatever you DON'T feel like doing. You want to isolate? Force yourself to get together with people. You feel like lying in bed all day? Go for a walk in the sun. You feel like sitting in your jammies and eating cheetos? Take a long shower and do your hair and go out for coffee. It's really hard to do but it helps so much. You're a great role model! Keep making good decisions one day at a time and you'll get where you want to be.

    Thank you Carla. I considering moving because of the lack of sunlight coming into my place but cannot even think about all of the work that requires. I am always trying to “make progress” and when I have down time to relax I often feel guilty like I should have completed a task instead. I had to learn to really take care of myself and allow for rest. I just took a nap and feel better for it. This past week has been so busy with work, preparing taxes, 2 violin lessons, getting my car fixed, having a mini migraine, getting a blood test to check my Vitamin D/B12 and lots of housework and errands. Absolutely no free time. Some days our energies are low we need to be extra loving to ourselves and focus on finding joy. Life is a lot of work. Thank you for being so honest. I hope you give yourself some love for everything you have accomplished and for just being a lovely soul.

      Oh my gosh, our weeks are so similar it’s crazy. I got an IV infusion for my migraine condition after having several days of pain finished tax preparation’s taking Samson for treatment for his arthritis getting my car fixed and all the other life work stuff on top of it. Rest and relaxation and major self-care have to be part of the to do list too 😅❤️

      @@TheCarlaProject Oh wow! So similar! Sorry to hear about the migraine pain that led to an IV infusion. I am sure I probably should have done the same a few times over the years. Migraine sufferers really really have to do extra self care as some level of low mood and even depression follows a migraine. You seem to really be doing well at fighting that low mood! After I was looking forward to one of your videos because I was feeling very overwhelmed and I was helpful to see someone who was doing their best to have a good day. I got up and went for a walk and accomplished a few more small tasks. One step and one day at a time. Sorry for Samson suffering from arthritis. 😢 He is in good hands though. Sending you good vibes! 🌸🌈

    It’s okay to be in funk sometimes, is how you get out of it that really matters. You recognized that you were in a funk, you removed obstacles that can suck you back in, and you got up and did something about it. You got dolled up for you, not anyone else and it made you feel good and reminded you what a beautiful boss lady you are! You will always be fine because you are this mindful about your feelings and confronting them head on. 😊

    Love it Ms. Carla some suggestions on possible projects. 1)A day in the life of Sampson, including grooming, spa day and vet appointment. 2)Follow up with friends that you helped organize their places, see how their doing after the fact. 3) a routine of meal preps from the sponsors, or do a week prep e.g. salads etc. 4)A class on organization e.g. dresser org 101 or pantry or fridge. 5) how you organize your bills or expenditures, do you have a place for receipts or bills, where do you store them or do you have an assigned place for that e.g. cubby or on your office, do you do an electronic spreadsheet, you maybe can provide a template you created and and example it certainly does not need to be your personal info, but an example for us to follow. Thank you 🙏 ❤❤❤ much love and blessings to you , the family, and our dear pal Mr. Sampson.

    Hi. I really enjoy your videos. I don’t comment much because I watch on my TV. Some basics. I’m 67 years old living in Alabama. I have a small 3 bed one bath house. Which I’m sure seems large to you. Your videos are so inspiring and real. Love love Sampson. I have two dogs and two cats and have volunteered at a no kill shelter for over 20 years. The comment someone made about your apartment being old and worn is just wrong. Your building is an older building and the characteristics are classic. You have done a lot with it. Everytime you go in your closet in your bedroom I’m envious. The windows are something that would be hard to get anywhere else. I do understand the problem with steps for Sampson. One of my dogs is older and has back problems. To help him when needed you can get a sling that is made specifically to help dogs with stair problems. You can tell Sampson loves you just as much as you love him. And you have some wonderful friends.

    • @TheCarlaProject
      @TheCarlaProject  ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'm so grateful that you and Samson are okay Carla. Your videos are so motivational and uplifting to my spirit.
    I've also been in a funk, due to chronic back pain and need to take social media fasts here and there. It can totally do a number on my mind when I just don't see a way to move out of it and forward. But then your video came at the perfect time this morning, spoke my language and now I'm up cleaning and decluttering, feeling a little lighter, focused (less brain fog) and looking forward to seeing just a clean FOYER if I don't do anything else today lol.
    Thank you SO much for showing us it's not just us, that we're not alone in what we're going through and that it's okay to not be 100% 24/7.
    Self-care is key and just placing one foot in front of the other and piecing one tiny task to another tiny task... can eventually bring the whole puzzle together and into frame and focus!!! Thank you Carla. Again; I'm grateful you're both okay and also that you're practicing self-care (self-love)...🙏🏼❤️💪🏼

I had to keep family away because they can be counter-productive. One did slip in and texted me at 7 am when i have told her three times to only text after 9 am.

    I really understand the funky mood lately. At Christmas I had a heart “issue”. After MULTIPLE tests & procedures it was finally diagnosed. What it really was was a wake up call for my family & I about the stress in my life & how my body is handling it at 52. I have a genetic heart problem & a birth defect that I didn’t know I had. The good news is that there’s medical management & now my doctor & cardiologist don’t think that I’m seriously crazy for complaining to them with the known symptoms of the issues that they didn’t realize that I had wrong with me! Now I have to learn to relax because I seriously don’t have any patience & mediation is one of the hardest things for me to do!

    I hear you girl! I've been in a Funk for a few months now. After a wrist operation. Oufffffff the worst feeling. Hope you go yourself some flowers if that's all you do and bring that sunshine into your home. You deserve it. 🥰

    Totally agree with starting with reaching for our phone, iPad, in the morning. Because of possible electrical issues with my car radio, I recently stopped listening to my radio, just turned it off completely. I usually listen to public radio. Even that silence has made me feel less anxious. The constant news was really increasing my anxiety.

    I loved this. So much of what we see online is all 'look how perfect and happy my life is' and it can be so alienating and make us feel much worse. This was all very relatable. I have the same habit of scrolling online first thing and I too am trying to establish a different morning routine. Loved that you bought yourself flowers, I will do that today if I pass a shop selling them. I'm proud of myself this week as I tackled problems I'd been avoiding but last night I had a meltdown and was up half the night with a migraine, crying, shivering and panicking. Today I feel calmer and this video was nice to watch. Thank you and keep being you.

    Good-evening Carla. The Lord put me in your space at the right time. I thought I was the only one that has “funk” days. It’s horrible and it takes a few days to get out and then everything is fine and I’m back to making other people happy.

    Hey Carla! Something must be in the air, I cried today:( I miss my mother to pieces! I lost her in November and it’s been quite an emotional roller coaster:( However, I’m so looking forward to your video, even if there are bumps in the road. Plus, I know you’re spirit! U have literally become my TH-cam friend 😊So, time to get up bc this whole community needs you… Samson!!!

    I love this! I recognized where you got the flowers. I need to do that more often, there's no reason to not get yourself flowers. I love when you show Samson's reaction, he is so adorable. But unlike him I think those pants are amazing. :) I'm about to do some cleaning and organizing so thanks for the motivation. I'm going to blast some tunes and hopefully my dogs won't judge my terrible dancing. You have a gorgeous apartment btw. The light and the high ceilings and the trees at the window are so lovely.

    I've set app timers on my phone and I've found it really helpful for me. 30 minutes on Instagram and 30 minutes on Facebook. Sometimes the funk is stronger than the timer and I end up just wasting time on other apps buuuut we do what we can haha

Last weekend I sat outside for several hours. Feeding/watching the birds and squirrels and enjoying the warm day. It felt like a perfect mid 70's day.

But seriously your videos, and the way you think are so relatable for me. Thank you for being you! I absolutely love your videos. I have decluttered so much before moving and still feel like it’s not enough and now I moved some things that shouldn’t have been moved and I feel exhausted!

    I feel ya, Carla. I too have been in the funky funk lately. And it is so odd because spring arrived and days are longer, but somehow I just have not been feeling it. And I avoid Instagram 95% of the time because it pulls me in and yeah, it is such a time suck. I’m bad about Facebook, but I can get on and off that one a lot quicker it seems. But, still check it too often. Maybe I need to figure out how to make my app not have the notification dots. 😆 But thanks for the reminders…I need to do the hydrate and get outside more. I skip those too frequently. Oops. Here’s to a more fulfilling and less funk-y week!

Where I live, temperatures are still below 0° and we keep on having snowstorms after snowstorms🥶 The good thing is daylight is longer so snow will melt faster.
