*Whoever reading this comment may you stay blessed with your lovely family & may you be protected from every disease and may your all dreams come true I work hard for my village food channel and if you will support me I will be happy*
Literally yesterday watched an old video here on Cathy Hay channel - permission to rest. There she says the same analogy about holding a weight with a water bottle and how it grows heavy the longer you hold it up. Anyone want to check out plz do. She is brilliant too. Love when you do talking videos Sadia (love recipes of course but these are like a mood lifter energy pack) . ❤
'If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I’ll bet they’d live a lot differently. When you look into infinity, you realize that there are more important things than what people do all day'💛✨
Such a beautiful thought! Definitely going to give this a try! I am sure it would shift perspective and inspire us to give our best shot at every day in our life and create meaningful moments to reflect upon! 💙🌌🌠
I've also been contemplating about how we're easily distracted and how I want to distract myself because in silence I catch myself thinking of past mistakes and negative thoughts. I guess it was easier as a child since I had less worries. But I hope the tips in this video help me better acknowledge my thoughts in silence for I want to be in the present moment as often as I can. Wonderful topic to talk about, Sadia.
I am so grateful that you uploaded a video on this topic! I want to let you know that since I followed your channel, you have brought so many positive changes in my life. As a person who have been always very critical, negative, and had a bad relationship with food, your videos had a great influence on me, leading to positive self-esteem. The encounter with you, Sadia, has opened the doors to a whole new world. Thank you for everything. (I don’t know if your will see my ramblings, but whoever does I wish you have the nicest day ❤️)
@@random_thing- she's pregnant and it's starting to show a little. She probably wants to wait before making the announcement but I wanted to be the first to tell her congratulations 🙊 It's also why she is trying to avoid any angles that show her belly with the exception of a few that are only in angle for a second or so.
This book has really a lot in common with the therapy I give to clients: ACT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. It is derived from eastern philosophy combined with cognitive behavioral therapy and it's evidence based. I love how psychological therapy is finally using ancient wisdom to guide and help people. Even the cup exercise I do in a slightly different way :) Second, I love how you display my lovely hometown Utrecht and my favourite place in the world, the Efteling. So this is definitely one of my favourite videos of you! Thanks!
MindOfMine My son studied abroad (from the US) in Utrecht 6 years ago. We spent 4 magical days there with him. As I watched the video I couldn’t help but feel that the setting was Utrecht. Thank you for confirming. We hope...one day...we will get to visit Utrecht again.
To put the cup down, I like to journal to just empty my head and put my thoughts on paper and they don’t weight me down as much. I don’t feel tired or exhausted mentally as much ever since I took up journaling and it has been very therapeutic for me
Journaling is big for me too. And I think largely because I find myself in lord of form, distracting myself by my phone or tv. Journaling literally forces me to put away the technology and sit with the thoughts in my head!
One form of "stay"ing that I really recommend is having a conversation, and approaching that conversation with curiousity. For example, approaching anxiety by finding someone to talk to about it. Noticing what it feels like in my body, and notice which narrative it is trying to speak. Sometimes, if no one is around, you can learn to have this conversation with yourself, but friends are really useful. They can offer perspective and love when that is hard for our own brains to do
this is crazy .. i can’t afford my car anymore and i honestly don’t even need or use it. The thought of giving it back has haunted me but it’s a heavy cup that i don’t need to hold as there’s no use for it anymore. I opened youtube and see this video .. i think i got my answer ..
RosesOfGold i’m sorry to here that, i will be making an appointment with my dealership to start the process of return.. i will document my journey on my channel as well. i hope it can help people. I pray and wish the best for you !
Abby Weeks yeah now that i have finally taken the step to not distract myself from the problem. I’m going to brainstorm it’s like sadia said about holding the cup while distracting yourself. I was refusing to let go and accept reality. FIRST step accept the truth. That’s very kind of you to offer solutions i’m very great full for thoughtful people on the youtube community!
@@alinaasifa7718 Ive finally decided to sell it last week and waiting for buyers (but secretly hoping no one shows up lol) clicking on this video was so random for me and then I see your comment... its like a sign
I feel that the 'Lord of Form' and the 'Lord of Speech' are really just tools or processes that we employ to attach ourselves to the 'Lord of Mind' invariably. So, even when we pick up our phone to check notifications (Lord of Form), it's just a subtler way of overcoming the same uneasiness of reality for which people attach to the Lord of Mind (with drugs, lust, etc), albeit with a milder intensity. Also, sometimes the visuals in your video are so good, that I tend to become oblivious to the message being spoken, and have to rewatch the video. Very interesting analogy and content!
This video really taught me a lot. I actually am currently running away from completing an assignment through the lord of form. Just distracting myself, so I am gonna try to actually do it and stop procrastinating. Imma try to put the cup down. Thank you sooooo much for your amazing advice. And whoever is reading this, I hope you have a wonderful day!
I don't know if it comes natural or if it's learned, but your ability to communicate so clearly with your audience is such a gift. This channel is often the first place I turn to when I need a pick-me-up. Like the audiobook you mentioned, Pick Up Limes is "incredibly refreshing...healing, gentle, and kind." Thank you, Sadia.
Thank you for this truth. We live in a culture that does not prioritize developing inner awareness. If anything, avoiding being alone with ourselves and our inner heart shape has become a modern addiction. But what happens to a whole society of people who systematically feel alienated about being with themselves and then are taught that their best option in life is to become comfortably numb to their own inner experience? What psychological damage have we inflicted on ourselves, tormented each other with, and wreaked havoc on the environment with when we repeatedly avoid working spiritually with our own mind and heart? I really appreciate this video. Thank you, once again.
Whats difficult is we dont like change....especially a painful change...only if we knew the pains we are suffering today will shower us much more abundance in future,we willingly would hv welcomed the change...there are some things in human life which are beyond his control...these things,feelings should be let gone....certain times,we dont decide what comes in n goes out of our lives....we hv to accept it as it is( n we dont like it the way it is)... but once u hv accepted it,u r in a better place( peaceful n wiser,n not afraid of it anymore).... i joined pickuplimes in 2018 n it has been a wonderful journey with it...i wish u all the best....
CONGRATULATIONS on 2.98M , Sadia! You have motivated me everyday for the past 6 months and I am truly grateful for that! Watching you grow this fast makes me really happy. And my channel is growing too!! I have just passed a 200 subs and I am really proud to tell you that! You are the type of person I aspire to be, everyday!
I have recently lost a friend. She was someone who had the ability to make other people instantly smile and I was devastated by her departure. This video really helped me to deal with my feelings and confront them, so I am forever grateful, especially because I am an introvert and not an expert in showing the world how I feel. The lord of speech is the one I identify myself with the most!
before i finish watching the whole video i just want to say you are wounderful your way of talking is lifechanging im dealing with overthinking and easily stuck to thoughts this video changed me ur cups of water is the best way of describing how life can be happier just by putting the bad thoughts away love u alot and u r the best
PSA: Everyone needs to read the book Lost Connections by Johann Hari-- whether you've struggled with anxiety/depression or not, this book is a life changer. It changed my entire way of thinking and helped me get through a deep bout of depression, the first and only one I've ever had but one that lasted nearly a year. Please. Read. This. Book.
Sadia, I'm a doctor from BANGLADESH. I work in a Covid hospital. This video makes me feel alive. Because, I'm goi going through a lot. Thanks sadi, at least I know where I have to go after a long, hectic duty. God bless you❣️Love you ❣️
Pema! I study her books with a friend. We do a chapter each week. We find that we highlight the important passages and almost every sentence is highlighted! She is an amazing teacher. Thank you for sharing her insights.
I have picked up meditating. With guided meditations it is a bit easier to put the cup down,so to speak. Some days it's easier to be in the quiet than others, but I feel like that's part of it. And it opens up new spaces inside of you, you grow when you accept your fears, your stressors, when you accept all of yourself.
This video was so insightful. I'm currently on a break from most social media and realized how the distractions I found myself gravitating to in times of frustration, boredom, or avoidance only served to be temporary. In my week of very limited TV and social media perusing, I became so much more aware of myself and my thought processes. Because of distractions, there was so much in me I had not been paying attention to. It's amazing how we live in a world of distractions and most often don't even feel we are distracted. So happy to have come across this video.
@pickuplimes I cried during the compassion part. It's just so true. Sad memories are hard to let go so you just build up these walls around you and tend to stay in it but it just makes you have a harder time when you have outburst of feeling. Thankyou for making me realise ❤️
Hello! If you're reading this I just want to remind you: There is something really amazing about you. You are valuable, worthy and cherished💖 please stay safe
I have been reading a lot about releasing past burdens and triggers and it was getting a little difficult to grasp the concepts, but the way Sadia explains them makes the whole thing so simple and doable. Much love to you for bringing forth something so profound in such a simple manner.
Thank you so much for sharing this! It was important for me to hear you today. So grateful for your wise words and support! Thank you for reminding us TO PUT THAT CUP DOWN!
I'm an Indian..each day I watch Ur video ...it gives me a special vibe to make that day the best...u are so simple and that's what I love the most...Sadia Ur my favourite motivator... A lot Love from India..
Maybe this was something I needed to hear. I spend the week putting in a lot of effort to get a week off to go on vacation and I was willing to give up a certain amount of income for it. This video made me think about why I am feeling so strongly about taking this time and I feel like that when I am on a holiday there are no other responsibilities and that at home I feel like I should work on school, but for my graduation internship I feel really nervous to get started and I just want to numb that thought. Thank you ❤️
Omg I just freaked out because I finished reading that book from Pema Chodron. This is a sign to me that I manifested this permanent change in my life and I thank you Sadia! You cleared to me that this is my calling to stop distracting, and escaping the discomfort of life by clinging to comfort and security “feeling”. It’s time for us all to face our present life and show up fully to it. The fear, the uncomfortable, the unknown. Thank you!
It takes me at least 5 times the video length to take in all the video the vibes the words the reasoning and I am so glad you are alive and trust me you keep innumerable people alive in their bodies :) keep up the good work.
I can’t believe the timing... this is exactly what my therapist was trying to explain to me just yesterday - how I’m using (and abusing) certain things to distract myself from my inner world, my thoughts and feelings. I didn’t really get the gist of it then, but it seems clearer now. I need to let go of these crutches and sit with myself.
Your way of life is finest your thoughts are organised andclear It makes me want to be more positive person Thank you sadia To make my life A blessing I achived a lot by just seeing your vedio
I just wanna thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, I absolutely love your videos and you are actually saving us from ourselves. I feel like our life is driven by two things 90% of the time that is fear and desire. Desire to get something or reach somewhere and fear of not getting that or even loosing something either in the present or in future and if you we can learn to deal with these two things we can be truly free of our minds and thats when we can achieve satisfaction and peace. just something i wanted to share but I do love your videos so much cooking ones and these both, so thank you so much.
I agree with practically everything you’ve said. I get the feeling that you’ve put a lot of effort into understanding the world around you and I think that is very admirable. I wish you and anyone else reading this luck on their journey to being okay. It won’t happen immediately, but it will happen. Much love, internet user.
We all woke up and found ourselves in this human form, in this experiences of constant aversion and attraction, without any memory of consenting to this. May we be kind to ourselves and others through this life.
I was so immersed in the stunning visuals, the class editing that I forgot to listen and had to play the video twice! 😂😂 Amazing work on this video Sadia! ❤️
You can always opt to see the glass of water as half full and not half empty in life you should always see the good, be positive and appreciate what you have. Thanks for sharing this audiobook will look into it 🙂
My therapist described this as a baloon everyone has (aka emotional and Spiritual baggage). We try to hide it, for example in a water tank. We push it down, when we're talking to somebody or experience unpleasant Situations. But if we need two hands it will pop up and not only us but others will see it on the surface too. So whats the best thing to do? My answer destroy it with a needle wasnt a healthy answer 😅 she said, take it with you. Put it right to your side that way, the weight wont take your energy but you still can do stuff with two hands, like more difficult situations.
This spoke to me instantly I could not hold in the tears. The analogies with the glass we hold and the walls we put up are so true. I feel exactly like this. Fighting off depression has been tough lately and this type of content really helps in knowing I'm not the only one feeling this way. Thank you Sadia for being such a light for so many people. You inspire me and others to be gentle with ourselves and search for meaning and awareness in life, be it in the kitchen or within ourselves. Much love to you and your crew for the amazing work you do!
The feeling I get everytime Pick Up Limes’ notification pops up in my screen 😍🥰😱🤗🤩🤩🤩. PUL never fails to make my heart smile every time. Thank you so much for making my day again. ❤️
I love it when you make those types of videos. You’re so comforting and warm, as if you were talking to us personally. Your way of presenting makes us think about our experience, understand and grow in a gentle way. You spark joy 😊
Sadia thank you for posting all this content. You can only imagine the impact you have had and the inspiration that you’ve caused. Thank you for being a voice of love, peace and kindness.
Sometimes it’s really hard to live in this society you have so much expectations to uphold... I am also afraid of letting go of some things, because I am scared that people will judge me
Good people will love you regardless of any differences. Great people will support your growth by showing their love so that you don't have to wonder if it's there.
The famous saying: In your 20s you care about what others think; In your 40s you completely ignore what others think; In your 60s you realise no one cared about you. My strong suggestion is that live life happily because that will only be the memory to make you smile.
I kind of knew, but now it is even clearer. This is what I often do when I start feeling anxious and I am alone. I think it will help to look through social media but it rarely does. Sometimes series or a movie works as first aid and if that is the case I let it. Especially if I cannot track down my anxiety or if it is PMS or something else. Other times I find that what helps is yoga because it helps me see things more clearly and also helps me to feel better. I think what finally puts down the cup for me is journaling (which I just realized by reading people's comments, thank you!).
"The Places that Scare you" by Pema Chödrön. I am definitely going to check out the book. Thank you so much Sadia. This is a hefty subject that you shared so succinctly, eloquently, and compassionately. Much love to you and whoever is reading this comment
Sadia you have such a way with words! You’re able to tackle complicated subjects and break them down to make them easy to understand and you always have such a calming, positive atmosphere about you, which I admire very much.
Your so right , when I stopped and reflected on my life I realized that I had been for 11 years in a abusive relationship and had to end it and let go and move forward it’s the best thing I ever did 😀
4:18 Robin's hair looks absolutely gorgeous. Thank you, as always, for this fantastic video. I've been following the idea of focusing on myself and my surroundings attentively for quite some time, but there simply are distractions - and I think I've learned from you that it's okay to get distracted. More importantly though, one mustn't give up and refocus. I also really like that you admit your struggle, which brings you closer to your viewers :)
Watching this video, I seem to be able to find out that I seek refuge towards many things, rather than getting the job done or going through the plan of doing what needs to be done. Becoming aware of the many things I seek refuge in and getting up to do the opposite is a "feeling of ease." Thank you 💙
Wow! Just 3 hours ago I was chatting with my house mate about letting go off baggage from the past and how these can have a negative energy on us and this talk brings home so many things that are true. For me, it's Lord of Mind. Love your topics and keep them coming ❤
Good morning. It's 4am here in the Philippines. Waking up to something like this is such a treat. Thank you. I think I rely most on the lord of speech. Labels and praises make me feel very secure and confident but now I realize that I am just distracting myself from my fears of not being good enough in my work, in my relationships, and even in my abilities. Thank you for this. Much love from The Philippines 🇵🇭
This is so neat. I learned about this long ago. In Galatians chapter 5 of the Holy Bible it talks about this very thing. Wow, Jesus Christ is so omnipresent in all of us in so many ways. This episode was a great reminder for me to return to him. Thanks for sharing 🤗💁
8:01 oh wow healing , gentle , kind.. we have something of that blend other than sadia's voice??? i am surprised... :) jokes a part.. you are so wonderful Sadia.. a true inspiration with more practical information on the point...
Thank you for another beautiful video Sadia. You’re helping to make the world a better place, and for that I’m so grateful. Love and many blessings to you.
"Putting the cup down" reminded me of a book by David R. Hawkins "Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender". If you haven't already I highly recommend reading it. Loved the video
“ Three lords of materialism” ~ The lord of speech ~ The lord of mind I'm thankful to you because I have learnt something i have come across so many distraction in my life but after watching this I realized nothing can distract us instead of being judgemental its better to kind and compassion these words inspired me more😇
You are an awesome intellectual. I am going to start reading the book now. Thanks a lot for being so compassionate. It really helps. Living alone isn't a piece of cake, you have to bake the whole cake by yourself.
All these videos speaking to me one after another, Overcoming Trauma by School of Life, From Marine to Monk, and now this. The timing is impeccable as I feel myself starting a new chapter. Thank you for this video 🙏🏽 ❤️ It’s such a beautiful introduction to mindfulness. I highly recommend looking into it more for anyone interested, it’s been the most transformative concept in my life so far along with meditation and impermanence
For me, i think that i would need the distraction to break away for a bit, and then after i can finally sit down and think of the middleground of what's stressing me out so that i would approach it with a more open mind. Thanks Sadia!
So, recently I have been feeling overwhelmed by “things” , possessions, even others possessions. Understandable considering that we have 5 people and a baby with another on the way in a 1200 square foot house. On the upside, it is giving me the inspiration to let go of possessions that do not bring me joy. I find this refreshing, as I would love a more minimalist look in our home. This video really got me thinking. Thank you 🥰
I feel ya! We're 4 people over here in a 1200 square foot house, and I feel possessions are overwhelming our life! Definitely trying to simplify over here to keep things manageable. Some things are baby things, and as my son grows out of them, I'm very much looking forward to sticking them in the attic or getting rid of them! I want to simplify.
Please please make more videos like these! More than the content, its just looking at the way you speak with so much sense of calmness that makes us feel peaceful and inspired!

The lord of speech is the one I identify myself with the most!
before i finish watching the whole video i just want to say you are wounderful your way of talking is lifechanging im dealing with overthinking and easily stuck to thoughts this video changed me ur cups of water is the best way of describing how life can be happier just by putting the bad thoughts away love u alot and u r the best
PSA: Everyone needs to read the book Lost Connections by Johann Hari-- whether you've struggled with anxiety/depression or not, this book is a life changer. It changed my entire way of thinking and helped me get through a deep bout of depression, the first and only one I've ever had but one that lasted nearly a year. Please. Read. This. Book.
Thank you .... I will get this book .. I suffer with mild depression and anxiety
Sadia, I'm a doctor from BANGLADESH.
I work in a Covid hospital. This video makes me feel alive. Because, I'm goi going through a lot. Thanks sadi, at least I know where I have to go after a long, hectic duty. God bless you❣️Love you ❣️
Nusrat mahmuda Thank you for your work in caring for others. Blessings and love.
I am wishing you good health and positive energy for your noble work and in your life.
Pema! I study her books with a friend. We do a chapter each week. We find that we highlight the important passages and almost every sentence is highlighted! She is an amazing teacher. Thank you for sharing her insights.
She is such an amazing woman 🌹 I admire her so deep , greetings from Turkey 🇹🇷
How intelligently and with how much awareness to yourself and your surroundings..you live..true inspiration
As a vegan who loves mindfulness, I must say, this video, her personality, her relationship with her bf, her wisdom and voice is a #mood. 💕
Exactly
I have picked up meditating. With guided meditations it is a bit easier to put the cup down,so to speak. Some days it's easier to be in the quiet than others, but I feel like that's part of it. And it opens up new spaces inside of you, you grow when you accept your fears, your stressors, when you accept all of yourself.
My aunt suggested this channel to me, And i love how relaxed and tension free you see. I admire that 🤗💗
Aw send my thanks to your aunt 🤗 happy you're both here!

This video was so insightful. I'm currently on a break from most social media and realized how the distractions I found myself gravitating to in times of frustration, boredom, or avoidance only served to be temporary. In my week of very limited TV and social media perusing, I became so much more aware of myself and my thought processes. Because of distractions, there was so much in me I had not been paying attention to. It's amazing how we live in a world of distractions and most often don't even feel we are distracted. So happy to have come across this video.
This came just in time I have been struggling and giving in to distractions so now I will try and follow your advice, u help me everyday. Thank u
@pickuplimes I cried during the compassion part. It's just so true. Sad memories are hard to let go so you just build up these walls around you and tend to stay in it but it just makes you have a harder time when you have outburst of feeling. Thankyou for making me realise ❤️
Hello! If you're reading this I just want to remind you:
There is something really amazing about you. You are valuable, worthy and cherished💖 please stay safe
So are you
So are you xian
R u single ? Lol 😉😊😚💕💖😁☺
thanks! u too ♡♡♡
There is so much detail here that I can't explain how good it feels to realize a few things that one is actively going through..
When I'm stressed or scared of letting go someone or something I write it down in my diary with beautiful words and then convince myself.
I have been reading a lot about releasing past burdens and triggers and it was getting a little difficult to grasp the concepts, but the way Sadia explains them makes the whole thing so simple and doable. Much love to you for bringing forth something so profound in such a simple manner.
Thank you so much for sharing this! It was important for me to hear you today. So grateful for your wise words and support! Thank you for reminding us TO PUT THAT CUP DOWN!
I'm an Indian..each day I watch Ur video ...it gives me a special vibe to make that day the best...u are so simple and that's what I love the most...Sadia Ur my favourite motivator... A lot Love from India..
Maybe this was something I needed to hear. I spend the week putting in a lot of effort to get a week off to go on vacation and I was willing to give up a certain amount of income for it. This video made me think about why I am feeling so strongly about taking this time and I feel like that when I am on a holiday there are no other responsibilities and that at home I feel like I should work on school, but for my graduation internship I feel really nervous to get started and I just want to numb that thought. Thank you ❤️
Omg I just freaked out because I finished reading that book from Pema Chodron. This is a sign to me that I manifested this permanent change in my life and I thank you Sadia! You cleared to me that this is my calling to stop distracting, and escaping the discomfort of life by clinging to comfort and security “feeling”. It’s time for us all to face our present life and show up fully to it. The fear, the uncomfortable, the unknown. Thank you!
It takes me at least 5 times the video length to take in all the video the vibes the words the reasoning and I am so glad you are alive and trust me you keep innumerable people alive in their bodies :) keep up the good work.
I can’t believe the timing... this is exactly what my therapist was trying to explain to me just yesterday - how I’m using (and abusing) certain things to distract myself from my inner world, my thoughts and feelings. I didn’t really get the gist of it then, but it seems clearer now. I need to let go of these crutches and sit with myself.
Your way of life is finest
your thoughts are organised andclear
It makes me want to be more positive person
Thank you sadia
To make my life
A blessing
I achived a lot by just seeing your vedio
I just wanna thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, I absolutely love your videos and you are actually saving us from ourselves. I feel like our life is driven by two things 90% of the time that is fear and desire. Desire to get something or reach somewhere and fear of not getting that or even loosing something either in the present or in future and if you we can learn to deal with these two things we can be truly free of our minds and thats when we can achieve satisfaction and peace. just something i wanted to share but I do love your videos so much cooking ones and these both, so thank you so much.
Hey! That's Utrecht, Eindhoven and the Efteling :) Hope you had a good time!
I agree with practically everything you’ve said. I get the feeling that you’ve put a lot of effort into understanding the world around you and I think that is very admirable. I wish you and anyone else reading this luck on their journey to being okay. It won’t happen immediately, but it will happen. Much love, internet user.
Few videos deserve like even before watching.. liked first and watching the video now..
Awwww too sweet! 🤗
@@PickUpLimes 😊😊😊😊
We all woke up and found ourselves in this human form, in this experiences of constant aversion and attraction, without any memory of consenting to this. May we be kind to ourselves and others through this life.
I was so immersed in the stunning visuals, the class editing that I forgot to listen and had to play the video twice! 😂😂 Amazing work on this video Sadia! ❤️
You can always opt to see the glass of water as half full and not half empty in life you should always see the good, be positive and appreciate what you have. Thanks for sharing this audiobook will look into it 🙂
My therapist described this as a baloon everyone has (aka emotional and Spiritual baggage). We try to hide it, for example in a water tank. We push it down, when we're talking to somebody or experience unpleasant Situations. But if we need two hands it will pop up and not only us but others will see it on the surface too. So whats the best thing to do? My answer destroy it with a needle wasnt a healthy answer 😅 she said, take it with you. Put it right to your side that way, the weight wont take your energy but you still can do stuff with two hands, like more difficult situations.
Give it to Jesus.
Simply don‘t try to hide it
This spoke to me instantly I could not hold in the tears. The analogies with the glass we hold and the walls we put up are so true. I feel exactly like this. Fighting off depression has been tough lately and this type of content really helps in knowing I'm not the only one feeling this way. Thank you Sadia for being such a light for so many people. You inspire me and others to be gentle with ourselves and search for meaning and awareness in life, be it in the kitchen or within ourselves.
Much love to you and your crew for the amazing work you do!

Every time I listen to you I’m met with such a peaceful wave of calm insight. So beautiful. Thank you.
The feeling I get everytime Pick Up Limes’ notification pops up in my screen 😍🥰😱🤗🤩🤩🤩. PUL never fails to make my heart smile every time. Thank you so much for making my day again. ❤️
I love it when you make those types of videos. You’re so comforting and warm, as if you were talking to us personally. Your way of presenting makes us think about our experience, understand and grow in a gentle way. You spark joy 😊
I miss these kinds of content from PUL! So timely as ever. Watching from the PH at 3am.💕
Sadia thank you for posting all this content. You can only imagine the impact you have had and the inspiration that you’ve caused. Thank you for being a voice of love, peace and kindness.
The way you have shown the nature and places around yo explain the concept is so beautiful 💜as always your voice mesmerises us 💚
How I wish you had a podcast!!! I would pay for it happily!!!! Your voice is just worth millions, literally makes me less anxious
Sometimes it’s really hard to live in this society you have so much expectations to uphold... I am also afraid of letting go of some things, because I am scared that people will judge me
Good people will love you regardless of any differences. Great people will support your growth by showing their love so that you don't have to wonder if it's there.
The famous saying: In your 20s you care about what others think;
In your 40s you completely ignore what others think; In your 60s you realise no one cared about you.
My strong suggestion is that live life happily because that will only be the memory to make you smile.
People who really understands will never judge you❤😊
I kind of knew, but now it is even clearer. This is what I often do when I start feeling anxious and I am alone. I think it will help to look through social media but it rarely does. Sometimes series or a movie works as first aid and if that is the case I let it. Especially if I cannot track down my anxiety or if it is PMS or something else. Other times I find that what helps is yoga because it helps me see things more clearly and also helps me to feel better. I think what finally puts down the cup for me is journaling (which I just realized by reading people's comments, thank you!).
"The Places that Scare you" by Pema Chödrön.
I am definitely going to check out the book. Thank you so much Sadia. This is a hefty subject that you shared so succinctly, eloquently, and compassionately. Much love to you and whoever is reading this comment
Sadia you have such a way with words! You’re able to tackle complicated subjects and break them down to make them easy to understand and you always have such a calming, positive atmosphere about you, which I admire very much.
More of these videos, please! So important and real, especially right now ❤️
Your so right , when I stopped and reflected on my life I realized that I had been for 11 years in a abusive relationship and had to end it and let go and move forward it’s the best thing I ever did 😀
4:18 Robin's hair looks absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you, as always, for this fantastic video. I've been following the idea of focusing on myself and my surroundings attentively for quite some time, but there simply are distractions - and I think I've learned from you that it's okay to get distracted. More importantly though, one mustn't give up and refocus. I also really like that you admit your struggle, which brings you closer to your viewers :)
half the time while watching I lost what Sadia is talking cos your voice is so soothing and calming 😌😌 Loved it!
me, sipping wine while staring at my phone: "Lord of Form? Never heard of him."
Lol
LOL
Lol
🤣🤣
🤣
Thank you. You have a bright and loving spirit.
I think Sadia can lend her voice for an audio book... her voice is so calming :)
I agree 👍🏻
Watching this video, I seem to be able to find out that I seek refuge towards many things, rather than getting the job done or going through the plan of doing what needs to be done. Becoming aware of the many things I seek refuge in and getting up to do the opposite is a "feeling of ease." Thank you 💙
Europe is so beautiful. Happy to live here! Following you from Germany
Me from the Czech Republic 😄❤️
Wow! Just 3 hours ago I was chatting with my house mate about letting go off baggage from the past and how these can have a negative energy on us and this talk brings home so many things that are true. For me, it's Lord of Mind. Love your topics and keep them coming ❤
Her smile makes my day❤❤
Lots Of Love Sadia❤
Good morning. It's 4am here in the Philippines. Waking up to something like this is such a treat. Thank you.
I think I rely most on the lord of speech. Labels and praises make me feel very secure and confident but now I realize that I am just distracting myself from my fears of not being good enough in my work, in my relationships, and even in my abilities.
Thank you for this. Much love from The Philippines 🇵🇭
You are angel Sadia....I don't know why but this time I really needed it...thanks for the vd....❤️😇
Your voice has the power of healing ❤️❤️
This is so neat. I learned about this long ago. In Galatians chapter 5 of the Holy Bible it talks about this very thing. Wow, Jesus Christ is so omnipresent in all of us in so many ways. This episode was a great reminder for me to return to him. Thanks for sharing 🤗💁
The essence of Zen summarised in the simplest way. Thanks Sadia! You're a humbling inspiration for me 😊
8:01 oh wow healing , gentle , kind.. we have something of that blend other than sadia's voice??? i am surprised... :) jokes a part.. you are so wonderful Sadia.. a true inspiration with more practical information on the point...
Thank you for another beautiful video Sadia. You’re helping to make the world a better place, and for that I’m so grateful. Love and many blessings to you.
"Putting the cup down" reminded me of a book by David R. Hawkins "Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender". If you haven't already I highly recommend reading it.
Loved the video
“ Three lords of materialism”
~ The lord of speech
~ The lord of mind
I'm thankful to you because I have learnt something i have come across so many distraction in my life but after watching this I realized nothing can distract us instead of being judgemental its better to kind and compassion these words inspired me more😇
Wow, never been so early before, although I watch every video of yours like a film or series! Thanks for your effort, Sadia. You are one of a kind.
You are an awesome intellectual. I am going to start reading the book now. Thanks a lot for being so compassionate. It really helps.
Living alone isn't a piece of cake, you have to bake the whole cake by yourself.
Just purchased "When Things Fall Apart"
Myself as well - I got a few of hers and can't wait to start diving in to learn more - happy listening, Alison! 🌻
I have it and love it. I picked up every once in awhile when things fall apart. Thanks, I’ll take it out today😊
I love that book!
All these videos speaking to me one after another, Overcoming Trauma by School of Life, From Marine to Monk, and now this. The timing is impeccable as I feel myself starting a new chapter. Thank you for this video 🙏🏽 ❤️
It’s such a beautiful introduction to mindfulness. I highly recommend looking into it more for anyone interested, it’s been the most transformative concept in my life so far along with meditation and impermanence
Currently at the precipice of what some astute beings call a “Pick Up Limes phase”
For me, i think that i would need the distraction to break away for a bit, and then after i can finally sit down and think of the middleground of what's stressing me out so that i would approach it with a more open mind. Thanks Sadia!
Wow your latte looks so delicious.
So, recently I have been feeling overwhelmed by “things” , possessions, even others possessions. Understandable considering that we have 5 people and a baby with another on the way in a 1200 square foot house. On the upside, it is giving me the inspiration to let go of possessions that do not bring me joy. I find this refreshing, as I would love a more minimalist look in our home. This video really got me thinking. Thank you 🥰
I feel ya! We're 4 people over here in a 1200 square foot house, and I feel possessions are overwhelming our life! Definitely trying to simplify over here to keep things manageable. Some things are baby things, and as my son grows out of them, I'm very much looking forward to sticking them in the attic or getting rid of them! I want to simplify.
This is something that Sadhguru has been talking about for many, many years. Check it out :)
Please please make more videos like these! More than the content, its just looking at the way you speak with so much sense of calmness that makes us feel peaceful and inspired!
