Glad there are other Black women talking about this! I always try and check in with myself. One weekend I do housework or projects the other weekend I chill and do absolutely nothing! That is my pattern! Yes we are mammals and should hibernate too!
I just found your youtube channel today and I am so glad. Thank you for showing me that i am not alone in these thought practices. Ive been looking for a job, and ive just had an epiphany: I have this incredible opportunity to rest, and enjoy my space and solitude, and Ive been doing my best to stay busy... I have plenty of opportunity, to rest. and ive been trying to stay busy???????? in the first vidoe of yours i watched, you affirmed this though: YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN A JOB. I am not lazy. I am TIRED. My bones crack as i walk across my apartment floor. I AM ONLY 20??? My bones shouldn't be aching like this or sound like bubble wrap. whew. I am ever so grateful for the universe for showing me things exactly as I need to see them. Im going to go take a bath, and sit in silence
Hiiiiiiiii! And welcome! Thank you so much for watching! And yes alignment! You are so welcome! It was my absolute pleasure and joy. Much love and joy to you, Sis! 🌺☺️
I feel you on being on guard to make sure I’m not burning myself out again. Doing nothing is challenging for those of us who are so used to doing. My do-nothing practice? Hammock time!
Exactly!! The anxiety is so real! It's like I have to trust myself all over again. And hammock time sounds AMAZING! Much love, joy and REST to you! 💛😊🌻🌺🌞
I believe I was introduced to your music thru IG by my sister, Brittany Turner, a few years ago. Then after I had a few of these SAME conversations with myself & my family (giving ourselves space to be, rejecting the American dream, being anti-hustle, protecting my peace as an empath, etc.), you popped up on my YT feed. This right here feels like confirmation & affirmation from the Most High - your video subjects are speaking to all of my thoughts. Thank you for ministering to us just by sharing your own truth. ❤️ grace & peace, Sis!
Hi Candace!!! ☺️🌺💛 And yaaaaaaaay! I LOVE Brittany 🤗 she's amazing. And I am so glad this is confirmation for you! Yaaaaay! It always blows my mind how being honest really moves folks. I don't even have all of the answers. It is literally my pleasure and joy to create and share. ☺️💛 And much love and joy to you!
Oh wow!!!! Thank you so much! I'm so happy you're enjoying this! That makes my heart so HAPPY. ☺️💛🌺 I'm loving your content as well! You're so real! I appreciate you!
I like to take 4 hour naps on the weekend and then I feel bad because I could've been working on other things. But often times resting helps motivate me to do things later. Like that burst of motivation to clean my room at 10 something at night or wash my hair, lol.
As someone who eased into slow living in the city and did not know it, I can tell you that this works ... I go to my nearest parks and just sit there and breathe ... this late spring has been pleasant... I also look at repurposing and reintroducing existing work to new audiences whenever possible ... the constant joy-killing pressure of HAVING to produce WHATEVER for WHATEVER can be eased.
Hi. In my case I have over produced so much that now I have to focus on just uploading onto sites. Sometimes it feels like I over do. When I look at the files there are so many. I'm happy that I'm never going to run out of things, but it's also amazing what the brain can store up if you don't let things out, and create. Even when I'm at rest I'm thinking of creating art, or producing music. I was called by a teacher once a compulsive photographer. Since I began taking pictures in the 70's I just got hooked on what comes from looking through the lense. Everything is amazing. I can't stop. I'm not crazy, but I can see what others felt back then. Now that I don't have to wait for films to be developed it's so easy to just shoot, and put away. It feels like an artists work is never done. Enjoy your day.
Awwww yaaaaay! I am so glad you're here! Thank you so much for subscribing! And I am embracing slow living and I'm wondering "What have I been doing this whole time?" LOL. Much love and joy to you! 😊💛
Thanks so much for sharing your experience! I’ve been recovering from burnout for the past 3 years. For me, creative recovery meant taking leave from the animation industry to work retail for a while. I still struggle to find joy in creation the way that I used to, but there are sparks of hope that weren’t there before. The self reflection and care that you talk about are so important. Let’s reach our finish lines whole and at peace! ❤
I want that for you too! Big love and joy to you! 💛☺️🌺 I am super grateful to be able to take a week to heal. I totally understand the privilege I have to do that. When I can't take a week off, I take time in the mornings or evenings to decompress and recharge. I'm wishing you rest! ❤️🌞
I totally understand. Be patient with yourself. You're unlearning YEARS of believing that we always have to be producing and doing and creating. It takes me a while to get comfortable with resting, it's not always easy. IT's a process and you're doing great. Even if you feel guilty, you're still doing it and you should be proud of yourself. I see you and celebrate you! 😊🌺💛🌻🌞
So grateful I found you the other day. We are in very similar journeys. Grateful for your content in a world we are pushing ourselves to grind, consume, spend, repeat. Thank you beautiful ❤️
I rlly loved the affirmations u put at the end! That was a rlly nice touch :) i been thinking about this lately too, great video! Btw you are ✨GLOWING ✨🥰😍
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I'm so happy you enjoyed them! I needed to hear this myself, so I wanted to share with others. ☺️💛🌺🌞 I'm so happy this is resonating with you. And OMG!!! 🥺 THANK YOU SO MUCH! 💛 You are so generous and kind. Thank yooooou! Much love and joy to you!
Girl I am enjoying doing nothing today. 'U' Chill when u need to, we want u safe, and at ur best! I have learned to say No, much better now, so I take time out for me. Today I will only go out for my BP med, (working on this girl) and allow myself my fav candy- Ferrero Roche, while listening to your Beautiful rendition of Bill Withers', Just The Two of Us! First time hearing this, It's a treasure girl, So Cool! 👍♥️
Oh yeah binging on movies and books. Reading 'Before I Forget', about B. Smith and Dan Gasby. Next read 'God Send Sunday' by a friend, Jacqueline Freeman Wheelock, Yes! And watching some really Great movies too! 😊

Love seeing women pushing self care, we really need it.We are all a work in progress.
Doing nothing is CLARITY & SILENCE. You can't think when everything is crazy so may distractions

Omg, you and my daughter Organization, so much alike. Yesterday my wife and I took a chill pill from our daily hustle. You are so right.
Yeeeeeeeeeees! Shout out to your daughter, and shout out to y'all for relaxing! It makes a HUGE difference!
