Retired a year ago. My philosophy now is that I no longer put up with people's crap. After many years of dealing with narcissists, I only give my time and attention to people who can give mutual respect. Time is too short, and none of us know how much time we have left. ❤
I always like to tell people to treat themselves like they would a good friend or loved one. Often times, we hold ourselves to such a high standard that we fail to show ourselves the same kind of love.
Such a profound thought to ponder, Nicole. My most recent breakup built me up...not down. It took me time to realize this fact. At first I forced myself to treat the self with such high standards. I struggled at first. Yet it numbed the hurting in my heart. Then I challenged myself to create art I only dreamed of creating. I didn’t believe I could achieve such a creative challenge. But this was a test of, my ability to CHANGE my way of being and how I see myself. If I can accomplish what I deem to be impossible, i empower myself to confront self conflict with knowing I have the power and ability to think differently and more positively about myself. Thank you for your thoughts that have filled my spirit with such encouragement, Nicole.
I want to live single and build myself up work on me than once my life is stable and grounded I really want the right woman to come into my life as just a friend cause relationships are based off of friendship I have morals like not having sex until after im married I want to have a pure relationship with a woman. I want to obey God's commandments and live pure.
I need to build a good, strong relationship with myself. Growing up I was always told I'm not good, I won't amount to anything. And that has stuck with me into adulthood.
I feel like this is true for nearly everyone ---if we are honest---just that the shame and blame and bullying varies in intensity and whether or not we also had people building us up or not too
Struggling with end of relationship realise I have totally lost myself. Busy mum and doctor spend all my time caring for others including my recent boyfriend. I’m going to try to find me and focus on her. Thank you x
Context: You're the only person that has to live with you from birth to death. The root of many issues is in our lack of self-love and self-acceptance 1. Taking things less personally - We think someone's words or actions mean more than what we think about ourselves 2. Overthinking - it's putting our self worth in the hands of other peoples ideas. When we are solid we don't need to outsource that. 3. Stressing about what other people think about you - We worry about what others think about us when we are unsure of what we think about ourselves 4. Over-justifying your decisions - We over-justify to control other's thoughts about it. We need them to see it our way for us to feel good about it. 5. Stressing about making the wrong decisions - It's less about making a mistake than what it means about us 6. Needing to be right/people to agree - When we need to be right we need others to see something about us. When we don't doubt ourselves it's okay if other's don't agree. Interjection: Ego. Our made up sense of self there to protect our authentic self. It's nice when people agree but the ego will make us "have" to be right. 7. Fearing making mistakes - Isn't about the outcome, it's about what we make it mean about you. You fear beating yourself up not the misfortune 8. Fighting for acceptance - How often to find yourself convincing people that you are good enough. Fighting for love, not fighting to be loved
Sometimes i hate the youtube algorithm but right now i love it because it brought me to you. Hi everyone, i am 56 yo and have been on a self esteem journey like forever. Love from new england. THANK YOU!!!
The truth is the more you do it, the more real it becomes. Confidence is really like a muscle, the more you work it, the stronger it becomes. The less important you allow people's thoughts to become, the more people just fade away into the background. Its amazing
I spend a little time each day on myself and usually a portion of that time is spent watching and listening and learning from Julia Kristina Life Coach. I enjoy her upbeat approach and the look of the vids ( call it modern noire) and I often look at Julia while listening to her and it feels personalized. Her approach and the important information she shares has helped me tremendously especially lately. It's helpes me to identify things that I need to work on. And to understand others around me and identity how to react or respond to them and their actions. Keep up the intensity your passion comes across during every presentation I've watched. Thank You, Daniel T
@@juliakristinamah Dear julia.i don't have a problem loving me. I just wished someone else did.lol praying for a Godly spouse.i know have enough love to go around.the Lord.me and her.promise.in Jesus name bless you sweetheart.🙏🌹🙏
20:12 so crucial in knowing to throw in towel with relationship that is very mistreating even though they say and act like love you, if there's a lot done and said to disrespect and disregard your feelings for feeling worthy enough then thats not loving to yourself no matter how they try to make up for it, thats not real love its toxic and taking you for granted.
I've noticed that I am more courageous, I don't overthink as much, I don't talk so negatively about myself (fear, doubt etc.), I don't create stories in my head about what people might think of me (I realized this were my own doubts and fears), I am finding comfort in the uncomfortable (i am not as afraid of consequences), I don't feel like I need as much validation, I don't take things as personal anymore, I can start a conversation without being afraid of what the other person will think of me, I am more responsible for my actions (not avoiding responsibility).
I used to overthink everything. This was largely because I was in a relationship that made me feel less of myself. I was never told that I'm loved, comforted, appreciated and also always second guessed myself. Even when I left the relationship because it was clear that it wasn't good enough, I still thought I did the wrong thing and that I've hurt him. But I asked myself what about all the things he did to hurt me, whatabout my joy and my mental stability which was always disturbed? I think I didn't love myself enough to even believe that a good decision I took. I beat myself
Things that will get better when I love myself more: health, relationships, job prospects, home environment, skin, worldview, achievements, friendships, attitude, money management. Now to watch the video and see what you said!
Julia--Thank you so much! This needs to be taught in homes, schools, temples and places of worship. When you fill your own bucket of self-love, then you're ok to pour love into other people's bucket and you also make room for people to pour into yours. To anyone reading this, I hope you have a wonderful, peace-filled day!!
You know,your exactly 💯 right,we have been programmed to rob ourselves of positive thoughts and experiences, but alot of people are evil with hidden agenda ,i am glad to be able to listen to your teachings
I didn’t have friends as a kid. I fought to be loved. I want friends now. I do realize that first I could be my own friend. I want to know how. I remember about 40 years ago I read a book “How to be your own best friend”. It is finally the number one priority in my life
Wow! This is so true. I’m so dependent on approval. Then take it personally when I don’t get the approval. I approve of me already. It’s meaningful to be reminded.
And Julia, I love the way you pause and take deep breaths. I love that and it helps me feel confident in what you’re saying. Thank you for being you! Appreciate! 🙏🦋
I started watching you two years ago after getting out of a bad relationship. Throughout this time I’ve identified traumas & struggles I weren’t even aware of and today I can say I’m in a much better position than I was then. Thank you for the work that you do! It’s changing our lives❤️
I took the boundaries course a while ago and it just hit me. In order to set better boundaries I needed to get better at liking myself. It sounds obvious, but these layers keep getting revealed! Thank you! I always love your videos! ❤️
TRUST IS THE KEY! Trusting yourself and later acquiring the ability to slowly start trusting others is the fundamental basis of a healthy relationship with yourself and consequently with other people. This message is POWER! Thank you Julia.
I was actually researching and reading about these things. I want to learn to depend, love, care and improve myself instead of depending on others who arent available. I feel devalued when they arent around and that sucks. I dont want to be emotionally dependent on them. I wanna be ok just being myself. Thanks for this vid!
I am 65 yrs. old and I struggle with loving and accepting myself. I just found Julia K. and I will continue to listen to your videos. I'm afraid of failure. I'm afraid I will not be successful to make the necessary changes to be a better me. I will take it slow and do my best to learn.
I love myself now and do more every day. I was brought up however internalising the toxic negativity of parents and I experienced deep lack of self love for most of my life which led to extreme emotional pain and I never understood why. It is the most amazing liberation when the penny finally drops and gradually you start feeling it as well as knowing it..
Key point: If one is sure of himself/herself, then why is there a need to justify it to someone else, especially when the decision does not impact the other person. Great!
I have had a couple years learning how to love myself and never knowing how to get back up from falling on my feet. This video has helped me 10x more then I try to give myself advice every day.
I'm sure there are other examples of that feeling of impossibility you're describing in your life, where you now just breeze right through it it without thinking about it. I'm telling you this partly to tell myself it, too, btw. My brain will come up with examples as I catch myself effortlessly doing something I used to think was not possible for me.
Hi I'm code and this video came to me not a day too soon . Like the universe showed me this . I'm on disability and have a hard time with everything in this video . Facing adversity of homelessness and the next obstacle in my life like having a job for a first time and a long time. Believing that I love and accept myself is such a foreign language. Something I battle with everyday . Ty for the vid
soo grateful i found this channel! i'm ila, currently a sophomore, who recently trying to investing on self-love this past months.. because how much pain i caused for going the other way. it really sucks that the environment i'm in have people-pleasing tendencies, but i don't feel alone for bravely taking this decision, i have myself. finally breathe out after my lungs were drenched in sorrow for too long might be the best thing that ever happen to me. one year ago, you can find me in the backseat, avoiding interactions yet overly pleasing people.. only for shitty treatments (mostly from myself). i had no idea how toxic i was, and isolating myself like that wouldn't change anything. and like what this video said, the root of my problems were lack of self-respect. this video explained my changes after growing to love myself well. i trust myself with my own beliefs, abundance, opinions, and self identity, therefore everything feels less personal to me. if there's different opinions, i take it with a grain of salt aka respecting it without thinking mine is way low than that. i also grow to know the essence of mistakes.. it's not something to avoid but to handle with full responsibility. these healthy responses are what i must do for so long. atleast i finally learned how to do this, even with the hard way. i'm so grateful and will always thrive to grow positively more, together with myself!
Thanks so much for this julia..Think i’ve been a volunteer victim,just need to keep contributing-calmness is a human superpower. The ability to not overreact or take things personally keeps your mind clear and your heart at peace Mental strength is incredibly important. Take care of your mind and the way you speak to yourself. Don’t let negative self-talk weaken you. Talk like you are blessed. Walk like you are blessed. Think like you are blessed. Work like you are blessed. And you will be, one way or another. Everything gets a bit uncomfortable when it’s time to change (or when it’s time to recalibrate your expectations). That’s just a part of the growth process. Things will get better. Be patient, and remind yourself that you will never have to force anything that’s truly meant to be. Just do your best, then adopt a “whatever happens, happens” mindset. Don’t try to force things-let go and allow the right blessings to flow. peeeace Ed
This video spoke volumes to me- I am constantly breaking promises to myself- then feeling guilt and shame and an utter lack of confidence in my ability to ever get anything done. This problem runs deep in my psyche and has kept me from moving forward with the things in my life that I am passionate about- I have skills, I can do hard tasks but need some way to actually DO THEM!
Looking forward to watching after work!! I’ve been steadily loving myself more and it’s a genuinely amazing feeling, though getting there is challenging ❤️
I have just started listening and she is awesome. I have a lot of trauma I life lately, my fiancee and my daughter's father killed himself 2 weeks ago. I needed this
Just found your channel. I was doing well with knowing who I am, self loving but in the last year I began to let others emotions run me! Thank you for your video, information!
Don't love anyone more than you should love yourself. Put yourself first across the board. Be kind with you, stroke your soul, listen to God's voice and not the ego's one. Be airy, be etherical, be bold, be playful. You live once therefore don't worry too much about what the others could think about you because who are they? More than you? Certainely not. Let your soul expresses loudly within you unapologetically
Love your videos love watching them.i learnt many things I never thought of. When I have had bad days your videos so inspiring. I love how it's clear and so easy to understand. You inspired me through rough times and opened my eyes threw my weakness. Thank you
That's amazing! I just uploaded an interview with an awesome life coach talking about this exact topic. I love it that people are interested in knowing more about what self love is and how to truly love themselves. It's critical for our mental, emotional and social health.
You speak and teach so clear. I understand you easily since my English is not on high the level. So you are great and wise. I want to watch all your videos. You answered my prayer. I have been saying yes for many many years but now I say no when I need to. I also try to be a nice nice to others but I get angry or worried because they do not treat me the same. Before I started watching your videos I wanted to make a full stop in my life and figure out what is wrong. I pray a lot to Jesus and I found my answer which is you. So what I started some months ago you are confirming that I am on the right road but you are making it more clear to me to see better. I thank you for these videos that you are sharing. I love them. May God bless you more and more Julia.
I tend to overexplain myself is because in my past, people made decisions without explaining their reasons. It was very difficult to come to peace with it. I wished I understood why they acted the way they did, it would have saved me a lot of time. When it comes to the well being of my children, I need my partner to agree with me, yes!
The lack of self-acceptance was one of my biggest struggles. I continue to work on loving myself after the shift society. Loving myself more has allowed me to build the foundation to trust my ideas and thoughts, my decisions, my actions, my motivation, my goals. I was searching for family members to love me, but I am not searching it. My perception of life with regards to my multicultural and multilingual knowledge is so different to my family and people in the U.S.A. I am not searching to find happiness with my family that did not accept me. I found happiness with myself and people around the world that have supported me. My Nonna and Bisnonna are two people that have cared about me the most and listen to me.
This was an excellent video very informative I spent 36 years in a marriage riddled with intimacy issues on my husband’s part due to his childhood trauma I did everything to be the perfect wife to no avail as through therapy after he passed in ‘22 I learned he had Madonna complex after getting over that shock I realized I needed to take a look at all my relationships and why I chose ones that were not on equal footing I do have some great friends but also some that weren’t healthy. Your video sheds light on how we think about ourselves I’ve always been a confident person but a lot of what you said I could relate to fear of failure and over thinking things were my two biggest thank you you’re an incredible therapist
the reason why i struggle with a lot of self love issues is because of my childhood and my parents. i did everything in this video, and i love how simple you put this. i used to attract narcissistic people, i used to be a people pleaser, i am still so hard on myself overthink and it’s so freeing to not care about what people think. the freedom and learning to be in the moment is amazing. 🧡
Believe it or not, all of these apply to me. It is a living hell. I have been in this place for so long that I can't get out of it. I've been told by several doctors that I'm in a constant state of the flight response. And I am. Thank you for this video...it's helpful and gives me a lot to think about and star practicing.
Thanks & good job. I've been working on this as I try to self actualize (radical authenticity). It seems that our culture expects us to conform to toxic behavior (people pleasing, self abandonment, manipulation, etc.). Self love seems to be making things worse (rejection & isolation). I must be doing something wrong. 🤔😕🙂
I feel sad to recognize more than one statement here... especially the last one. I don't do this with everyone, but with my partner or the person that I like, looking for his approval all the time. I'm tired of this cycle...
Hi my name is Annabelle and I live in France. Watching your videos since few month as i was lacking boundaries and self love and caused me so much troubles. I’m better now and looking to improve my brand new skills to live my best life.
Thought i completly accept my self, no not completly but thought i am good enough. i do think that, but i regonised things from this video i've been doing to be accepted by others, and also fearing to make a mistake. Thanks for this insight
You are changing lives Julia and you know it. Just wanna thanks you and God that I found out your channel Julia. I grateful that I have started taking care of my mental health at an early age of 18. Just thank you thank you and thank you
I’ve already listened to this twice and been 🌟 starring so many of my notes. So grateful for your videos to help us become everything we are capable of being - which is amazing. Thank you Julia - you are not only making a difference but doing and being the difference! I embrace all the benevolence of your tremendous work. ♥️
So helpful for me exactly where I am at because I can use this as a measuring stick for how much I have grown and how I’ve learned to value myself and display emotional maturity :)
You are a force of nature, a true budavista. During this pandemic your enlightening perspectives is such a blessing. I am more in tune with my intuitive self and I have a new BFF, my spirit. Thank you for being there for all of us you are a God send.
Shifting! My waking intuition said I should work on my SELF LOVE today!!! I was about to watch another video when I saw this perfect message here!!! Thank you! Synchronicity Intuition Gratitude. Check, check, ☑️
So grateful we live in a time where you can go on UA-cam to get guidance better than what an expensive , poor-fit of a therapist may try to give you

@@nicoleonfeels Welcome, Nicole! Your kind thoughts truly uplift one’s spirit.
That’s really good advice Nicole thanx
If you are reading this I just want to say that in no way are you not valuable or loved.
Truth.
Thank You
I want to live single and build myself up work on me than once my life is stable and grounded I really want the right woman to come into my life as just a friend cause relationships are based off of friendship I have morals like not having sex until after im married I want to have a pure relationship with a woman.
I want to obey God's commandments and live pure.
When i started to love my self a lot of one sided and narc relationships faded away
Me too!
Same
How do you do it
💯💯💯

make sure you know which one you're doing.
How good is that one. Hunna remember that one for a loooong time
Thank you so much for doing these videos. They are so very helpful and enlightening ❤
Struggling with end of relationship realise I have totally lost myself. Busy mum and doctor spend all my time caring for others including my recent boyfriend.
I’m going to try to find me and focus on her.
Thank you x
Ohhh good one.
I use to make excuses for bad behaviour because I didn't love myself. Now I love myself I don"t take any bad behaviour.
Being so hard on myself for making mistakes. I wasn't always this way.
Can you work on going back to being kinder to yourself?
Context: You're the only person that has to live with you from birth to death. The root of many issues is in our lack of self-love and self-acceptance

Hey! Welcome here. So glad you found us.
Planet C64,You deserve better
I can relate... feels like a lifelong battle
Julia you are GEM. 60 yrs old and I needed this. I wish I knew this in my 40s-50s. But now is also great to know
so good that you know it now ❤️
It’s never too late I would say ;-))
This comment by itself motivational
Im in my 50s now andI wish knew this in my teens :)
When we speculate on what people think of us. Im guilty of that one. Starting to build a more solid relationship with myself!
The truth is the more you do it, the more real it becomes. Confidence is really like a muscle, the more you work it, the stronger it becomes. The less important you allow people's thoughts to become, the more people just fade away into the background. Its amazing

I'm here so no narcs can ever get near again. I want to learn about myself and others. There are so many manipulative people

You're always with yourself, so you might as well Love You .❤❤❤
You know,your exactly 💯 right,we have been programmed to rob ourselves of positive thoughts and experiences, but alot of people are evil with hidden agenda ,i am glad to be able to listen to your teachings
There is a difference between fighting for love and fighting to be loved!!!
Fighting to be loved, want to be loved, I've recognized the real thing too. So I need to work on this one. People Pleaser deluxe.
I am working on that too
Sometimes in life we are so busy looking after everyone else, we forget about ourselves. You have to look after yourself ,nobody else will
I didn’t have friends as a kid. I fought to be loved. I want friends now. I do realize that first I could be my own friend. I want to know how. I remember about 40 years ago I read a book “How to be your own best friend”. It is finally the number one priority in my life
I think loving yourself is also loving others. It isnt fair to family and friends for us to outsource our worth and self esteem to them.
Agreed. The more we love ourselves, the more love we have to give to others.
Wow! This is so true. I’m so dependent on approval. Then take it personally when I don’t get the approval. I approve of me already. It’s meaningful to be reminded.
And Julia, I love the way you pause and take deep breaths. I love that and it helps me feel confident in what you’re saying. Thank you for being you! Appreciate! 🙏🦋
thanks Victoria - and thank YOU for being YOU!
These ten things are consistent with your own boundaries. That's what's good about them.

Glad they connect - thanks for being here.

when you said fighting for acceptance it made me cry, hit me right in the heart..
Listening to these videos makes me realize...I am better. Took 3 years and I am finally realizing that I am good.
Sometimes when we don’t love ourselves, we treat others badly. It’s not always about the behavior of others.
Really wonderful work and free to the public. She's gold
Glad you're here.
Gosh.....I think I’m starting to LOVE MYSELF!!! BOOYAH! 🥂🙏🥰🥰🥰

Yes, it is a process and does take work.
I'm sure there are other examples of that feeling of impossibility you're describing in your life, where you now just breeze right through it it without thinking about it.
I'm telling you this partly to tell myself it, too, btw. My brain will come up with examples as I catch myself effortlessly doing something I used to think was not possible for me.
Exactly
When begins when you decide to you need do the work. Saying this from experience. Still a long way to go. I wish you well.
@@nancymasuda9717 I'm certain you're correct, but being retired and on social security leaves my options very limited at best.
Hi I'm code and this video came to me not a day too soon . Like the universe showed me this . I'm on disability and have a hard time with everything in this video . Facing adversity of homelessness and the next obstacle in my life like having a job for a first time and a long time. Believing that I love and accept myself is such a foreign language. Something I battle with everyday . Ty for the vid
soo grateful i found this channel!
i'm ila, currently a sophomore, who recently trying to investing on self-love this past months.. because how much pain i caused for going the other way. it really sucks that the environment i'm in have people-pleasing tendencies, but i don't feel alone for bravely taking this decision, i have myself.
finally breathe out after my lungs were drenched in sorrow for too long might be the best thing that ever happen to me. one year ago, you can find me in the backseat, avoiding interactions yet overly pleasing people.. only for shitty treatments (mostly from myself). i had no idea how toxic i was, and isolating myself like that wouldn't change anything. and like what this video said, the root of my problems were lack of self-respect.
this video explained my changes after growing to love myself well. i trust myself with my own beliefs, abundance, opinions, and self identity, therefore everything feels less personal to me. if there's different opinions, i take it with a grain of salt aka respecting it without thinking mine is way low than that. i also grow to know the essence of mistakes.. it's not something to avoid but to handle with full responsibility.
these healthy responses are what i must do for so long. atleast i finally learned how to do this, even with the hard way. i'm so grateful and will always thrive to grow positively more, together with myself!
Thanks so much for this julia..Think i’ve been a volunteer victim,just need to keep contributing-calmness is a human superpower. The ability to not overreact or take things personally keeps your mind clear and your heart at peace
Mental strength is incredibly important. Take care of your mind and the way you speak to yourself. Don’t let negative self-talk weaken you. Talk like you are blessed. Walk like you are blessed. Think like you are blessed. Work like you are blessed. And you will be, one way or another.
Everything gets a bit uncomfortable when it’s time to change (or when it’s time to recalibrate your expectations). That’s just a part of the growth process. Things will get better. Be patient, and remind yourself that you will never have to force anything that’s truly meant to be. Just do your best, then adopt a “whatever happens, happens” mindset. Don’t try to force things-let go and allow the right blessings to flow.

I love the way you explain things. It's simple but yet sophisticated. You relate to people.
I need to listen to this every single day, for the rest of my life. Thank you for this 🙏
You asked a question fighting fighting for acceptance that's the one I struggle with🥊
I hear you. It can be tough. Keep working on your relationship with yourself and it will get easier.
This video spoke volumes to me- I am constantly breaking promises to myself- then feeling guilt and shame and an utter lack of confidence in my ability to ever get anything done. This problem runs deep in my psyche and has kept me from moving forward with the things in my life that I am passionate about- I have skills, I can do hard tasks but need some way to actually DO THEM!
The one that struck me is " Fighting for acceptance"
This is pure gold Julia... if there were such thing as an Owner's Guide to Self-Awareness, this is it... thank-you!
You’re gifted at what you do, Julia Kristina!
I loved the whole message. I am working on self love now. I can say it's a beautiful sight to see. I'm loving the skin I'm in.
Looking forward to watching after work!! I’ve been steadily loving myself more and it’s a genuinely amazing feeling, though getting there is challenging ❤️
I have just started listening and she is awesome. I have a lot of trauma I life lately, my fiancee and my daughter's father killed himself 2 weeks ago. I needed this
Just found your channel. I was doing well with knowing who I am, self loving but in the last year I began to let others emotions run me! Thank you for your video, information!
Don't love anyone more than you should love yourself. Put yourself first across the board. Be kind with you, stroke your soul, listen to God's voice and not the ego's one. Be airy, be etherical, be bold, be playful.
You live once therefore don't worry too much about what the others could think about you because who are they? More than you? Certainely not. Let your soul expresses loudly within you unapologetically
ida loup,You must be a precious being
Easier said than done
Love your videos love watching them.i learnt many things I never thought of. When I have had bad days your videos so inspiring. I love how it's clear and so easy to understand. You inspired me through rough times and opened my eyes threw my weakness. Thank you
That's amazing! I just uploaded an interview with an awesome life coach talking about this exact topic. I love it that people are interested in knowing more about what self love is and how to truly love themselves. It's critical for our mental, emotional and social health.
You speak and teach so clear. I understand you easily since my English is not on high the level. So you are great and wise. I want to watch all your videos. You answered my prayer. I have been saying yes for many many years but now I say no when I need to. I also try to be a nice nice to others but I get angry or worried because they do not treat me the same. Before I started watching your videos I wanted to make a full stop in my life and figure out what is wrong. I pray a lot to Jesus and I found my answer which is you. So what I started some months ago you are confirming that I am on the right road but you are making it more clear to me to see better. I thank you for these videos that you are sharing. I love them. May God bless you more and more Julia.
I tend to overexplain myself is because in my past, people made decisions without explaining their reasons.
It was very difficult to come to peace with it.
I wished I understood why they acted the way they did, it would have saved me a lot of time.
When it comes to the well being of my children, I need my partner to agree with me, yes!
I put so much pressure on myself. My goal is to love and accept myself as I AM!
The best motivation to love yourself.....
Glad this connected.
The lack of self-acceptance was one of my biggest struggles. I continue to work on loving myself after the shift society. Loving myself more has allowed me to build the foundation to trust my ideas and thoughts, my decisions, my actions, my motivation, my goals. I was searching for family members to love me, but I am not searching it. My perception of life with regards to my multicultural and multilingual knowledge is so different to my family and people in the U.S.A. I am not searching to find happiness with my family that did not accept me. I found happiness with myself and people around the world that have supported me. My Nonna and Bisnonna are two people that have cared about me the most and listen to me.
This was an excellent video very informative I spent 36 years in a marriage riddled with intimacy issues on my husband’s part due to his childhood trauma I did everything to be the perfect wife to no avail as through therapy after he passed in ‘22 I learned he had Madonna complex after getting over that shock I realized I needed to take a look at all my relationships and why I chose ones that were not on equal footing I do have some great friends but also some that weren’t healthy. Your video sheds light on how we think about ourselves I’ve always been a confident person but a lot of what you said I could relate to fear of failure and over thinking things were my two biggest thank you you’re an incredible therapist
Loving our selfes brings balance . Being good to our selfes brings balance , staying focused and not procrastinating brings balance...
I'm crying 😢... This video was so mind blowing for me. Thank you so much.
I listen to you every morning, you are a true blessing!
the reason why i struggle with a lot of self love issues is because of my childhood and my parents. i did everything in this video, and i love how simple you put this. i used to attract narcissistic people, i used to be a people pleaser, i am still so hard on myself overthink and it’s so freeing to not care about what people think. the freedom and learning to be in the moment is amazing. 🧡
Since last 6 months I have been searching this information. Thanks lot Mam.
Fighting for love and fighting to be loved....WOW! 🙏🏻👍🏻❤️
Believe it or not, all of these apply to me. It is a living hell. I have been in this place for so long that I can't get out of it. I've been told by several doctors that I'm in a constant state of the flight response. And I am. Thank you for this video...it's helpful and gives me a lot to think about and star practicing.
Thanks & good job. I've been working on this as I try to self actualize (radical authenticity). It seems that our culture expects us to conform to toxic behavior (people pleasing, self abandonment, manipulation, etc.). Self love seems to be making things worse (rejection & isolation). I must be doing something wrong. 🤔😕🙂
This is so good! I recently made a big decision that a lot of people that are in my life do not like. This one really hits home for me right now.
Love myself more and more
I feel sad to recognize more than one statement here... especially the last one. I don't do this with everyone, but with my partner or the person that I like, looking for his approval all the time. I'm tired of this cycle...
You can change! the first step is to recognise, and you've done that 🤓 make some small changes today, you can do it, you are worth it.
@@jaimwah so sweet of you, thank you
Hi my name is Annabelle and I live in France.
Watching your videos since few month as i was lacking boundaries and self love and caused me so much troubles.
I’m better now and looking to improve my brand new skills to live my best life.
I love the simple plain language you use to explain each item. You are brilliant
Thought i completly accept my self, no not completly but thought i am good enough. i do think that, but i regonised things from this video i've been doing to be accepted by others, and also fearing to make a mistake. Thanks for this insight
Enjoy the wind in the nature everywhere , in the mountain on the beach and breath deeply
