When was the last time you cried - what started you off? And good luck guessing the mystery kitchen object! 👏😃 You can find my friend Dani's sister-in-law's very hygge etsy shop here! www.etsy.com/uk/shop/GrownAndMade
I cry all the time...happy tears, sad tears, empath tears...I used to be ashamed of my tears but mostly because other people would say something negative about it. But now, I just do me and if I feel like crying I go ahead and cry. I had an aunt who cried at beautiful sunsets so I guess I got her genes!
I’m not a crier either. But I am more likely to tear up when I am moved by something. The last time was watching a movie with my son last weekend. I try and remember not to hide it from my kids and explain that is ok to cry to them.
Haven't cried in years. Part of the ptsd.
@@susananderson7473 I know that feeling..... doesn't mean I don't 'feel' the emotion though.
Something to do with steaming a haggis
Typically I'm not a big crier. Anything involving my children is almost a given for crying though. And when I do cry, it's not for long. But I had a big ugly cry on Dec 30th. I rang the bell signaling the last of a year's worth of various treatments for breast cancer. I kept a strong solid face for my family because I think they took the whole ordeal harder than I did. I beat it and It was such a relief to have that all behind me. Cheers to a happy and healthy 2022!!!!!!!!!
I have read that being positive and keeping a positive attitude has been shown to help in fighting cancer! Way to go in fighting it off and remaining strong for you and your family!
Did you know that crying is good for your immune system? It's been easier for me to cry since I found that out! I grew up in a household where parents said "If you want to cry, I'll give you something to cry for". It took me a long time to get over that. Now I can cry at a cloud or a warm cookie, which seems much healthier. Since my husband died recently, I've gone through boxes of tissues. And now I don't have to worry about somebody punishing me for those tears.
Wow, that's fascinating, Jan - thanks for sharing!
Yes I had that ‘I’ll give you something to cry about’ too. I was also punished for laughing too much, dragged into a cold shower 🥶
Hi Jan, I must find out more about that. Fascinating! I too was told 'I'll give you something to cry for' (growing up in Scotland in the '60s) but it just made me cry all the more! How wonderful that you are free to cry now. As you say, much healthier. I am sorry for you loss.
I'm so sorry and I'm sorry for your loss. I wish you well.
@Cheryl Burge I'm so, so sorry. I cried reading your comment. I wish you the best and all that's kind and good
Oh Diane, i so enjoyed this episode! I have really missed the more frequent episodes that you used to do! Your approach to life is inspiring to me. Congratulations on facing down the nerves and completing your swim. You are a champion!
Aww, thank you, Carolyn! I’m on Instagram daily with photos and videos 👋😃
Congratulations on winning your gold medal!!! As far as the last time I remember crying, it was about two years ago when Covid was just starting and I learned that my 2-1/2 year old granddaughter may have contracted it. We had to wait a few days for the test. In the meantime I got really depressed and I was sitting on my bed and started to cry. What really helped was my dog, Molly, a seven year old black Labrador climbed on the bed and took her paw and stroked my arm. It made me laugh to be comforted by my wonderful dog. Turned out she didn’t have it after all.
Aww, our pets can be such a comfort, Cheryl!
I am dealing with a lot of anxiety that is starting to really affect my health, and working with a doctor to eliminate all the physiological explanations of my issues to be able to move on to psychological ones. I have to start doing sports. You are an inspiration and a very determined woman. Congratulations on your tenacity.
If you are trying to fix physiological causes, don't miss the histamine connection with anxiety and depression. Anxiety was a pretty major histamine intolerance symptom for me I do believe. It wasn't really the one I tracked, but it creeps up if I'm eating high histamine foods well before hives appear.
I am sorry you are dealing with anxiety. I have also been having a lot of trouble and know how difficult it is just to get through the days sometimes. I try to do some exercise most days but need to increase the intensity and length of sessions to benefit fully. I’m not sure where you are in your journey but don’t dismiss the benefits of medication. I was resisting but went on medication in early December and it made a world of difference within just a couple of weeks. I also highly recommend a couple of amazing UA-cam channels: Therapy In A Nutshell and Dr Tracey Marks. All the best and take care 💕
Thank you for your advice.
The wee spurtle gets into the bottom edges of the porridge pan easier than a spoon.
I can get teary over nothing much if I have too much sugary food for too long.
I really felt the chill with the Go Pro footage. Well done to you.
Easy! That’s a spurtle
I am a Brownie guide leader and we took our unit to the cinema before Christmas. We watched a special screening of the Disney film Encanto. At the end, the girls sitting next to me said ‘Are you crying, Snowy Owl?!’ Of course I was, buckets and buckets. Sometimes you just have to.
Aww, how sweet of them, "Snowy Owl"! 💕😍
What you do is amazing! I've made a weekly steps goal (100,000), and I was out walking in 18 degrees F this morning. I bundle up and keep going to get myself through January. Congrats!
Sure love you Diane! I appreciate your honesty while still cheering us on to do better. We all need a good cry every now and again. So proud of you in your competition.
This resonated with me very strongly as I felt exactly the same way last Saturday. I was very nervous before driving to a cross country (running) competition with my running club. I was so worried about being slow and not good enough. However, all club members are welcome regardless of ability and we can all have an impact on the final result. I had to remind myself that I could do it and have done several times before. My running pals were very supportive and cheered me over the finish line. So I could have easily turned around and headed home but I faced my fears and what do you know, I had agreat time .....despite the horrendous mud!
Brilliant, Lesley - I'm sure you were elated!
Thank you, Diane. What a good take on how vulnerable we can feel at times, especially during this difficult period. It really does help when we know people we admire struggle with apprehension and fears and get through those situations.
Well done Diane! I love the story about your Scottish 'stick'. I have never seen one before. It's beautiful and looks really tactile.
About your ice swimming....Does the sea ever freeze so you have to chip away at the ice before you swim?
Thank you for sharing a snippet of your life.
Hi Cathy! Yes, we broke the ice last year for our skinny dips 👋😃
You were making me tear up and I know that feeling so well. The feeling in the gut and the welling up with tears that you can't control sometimes. I get it at work (from home) when things are going sideways. I get it when I watch a movie or tv with emotional subjects. As a child I loved sports and did it just for fun until it wasn't because of the way the serious athletic girls (one in particular) ruined it for me as they always had to have the win and I became a quitter. I admire you and all you do.
Thanks for the inspiration to push through the anxiety and tears. I am just now recovering from a hip replacement surgery which, as you can easily understand, was very anxiety provoking. I worked hard to visualize a positive outcome and take the morning hours step by step (with a self made checklist) with many little perks to set a positive attitude. Happy to say, all is excellent and using your outlook, organization, and hygge tips were such a help. So thank you so much Diane.
I cry pretty much every day. It helps me think more clearly and move forward in my life. It's like decluttering for the soul. Welcome the tears and never apologize for them. Congratulations on a wonderful swim and happy new year! 💙
Wonderful, Lemon!
Diane, thank you for sharing your life experiences. Congratulations on winning the gold medal in one of your favorite sports🎉 Since I learned that crying are prayers, I allow the tears to flow freely💝
Well done Diane! 🥳 I love that you have a friend named Erika from America. My daughter’s name is Erika and when she was little I would make up bedtime stories about our family and all of our family road trips. Her name was ‘Erika America’. Hearing you say your friend’s name made all of those warm and lovely memories come rushing back. 😍
There’s rarely a day goes by lately when I don’t cry..I’m going through the menopause and have anxiety..but I’ve always been quite an emotional person. I even cry at the Xmas John Lewis adverts lol 😆
I was choking up just watching you get emotional! 😁. Love, love, LOVED this video. 👍👍 Determined now to have porridge for my breakfast tomorrow 😁. I’m Scottish and can’t recall a spurtle in my childhood. I thought you were showing us one of those things to ‘muddle’ a cocktail!!
When I'm over tired, the tears flow for me.
The first time I learned what a spurtle is was when my friend from Scotland gifted one to me years ago. I didn't cry then but I've cried all my life.
Hey Diane I'm very sensitive and cry very easily especially at the moment with how some things in my life are, I even got teary watching this as I'm not in such a great place at the moment - Well done with your ice swimming competition 👏 and I love the Spurtle, you'll have to let us know if it works 😊
Yay - so lovely to "see" you here, Bex! Sending an extra hug if needed!
@@DianeinDenmark Thank you 🤗
Congratulations Diane!! I love how you challenge yourself daily! You really are a true inspiration to your subscribers❤️
Congratulations on your swim! This video was so important. As a person who has generalized anxiety disorder, I get anxious about so much and it often results in crying. It was comforting to hear you talk about your own experiences and vulnerability. Thank you for addressing this topic in such a compassionate way. ❤
You are so very welcome, Jane - thank you for your kind words!
Oh? I did not know there was such a thing as generalized anxiety disorder. I was never able to get diagnosed but I know when I was a teen up till mid 20’s everything was stressful. If I missed the bus I would cry, if someone shot me down (said awful things) I would cry, if I slipped down the stairs I would cry, Showing up late to work, I was so anxious but I never knew to even talk about stress or anxiety at that age as I didn’t know it existed until I got older now I can talk to someone about this and know what it is!
My husband works for a company called Bob’s Red Mill. They mill different flours and the make Scottish Oats. Bob used to go to Scotland once a year to the World Porridge Making contest and more than once he won “The Golden Spurtle” 🥇
Well this was a very timely video. My church has been making an effort to have women more front and center to demonstrate the equality between the sexes, (I live in the South in the US, so this has generally not been the norm) and I was asked to record a video for this reason. It’s something that will continue on an ongoing basis. I’m very capable of doing it, but it makes me VERY nervous. I’ve been debating whether or not to continue doing it because of the discomfort of the nerves…even though it’s something that’s important to me and that I believe in. You’re encouragement today has convinced me to push through the nerves and to keep trying. Thank you for your openness and vulnerability. 💙✌🏻
That was fun! I thought the rounded end was for pushing mini tart shells into shape before filling them!❤️
It definately would work for that as well!!!
You are so amazing Diane! 💕 You are my favorite mentor because you are so uplifting and have such practical tips and advice that greatly help to improve my life. You also give me permission me to give myself Grace when needed. 🙏 🥰
I’m a cryer I cry everyday over something. It’s hard at times but I wouldn’t have it any other way I’m what is known as a HSP makes me super loving and caring so I accept it.
I teared up right along with you Diane! I am so happy for you (and you were so speedy!) you're an inspiration
I am late to the party but have to comment in solidarity! I am a lapsed runner, but when I was consistent with it, I competed in many 5Ks and even a half marathon. Without fail, I'd be there in the throng of like-minded people waiting for the starting signal, most of us strangers to each other but also in a special sort of kinship. To this day, I choke up while waiting for the race starting signal. It's a tribe thing, it's a gratitude thing, it's just special. It's special because I worked so hard to develop the endurance and capability to ENJOY races and it's special because I'm surrounded by others who did exactly the same, even if we don't even know each other. Sometimes my husband and I run a race together and he spots me tearing up and just gives me a smile. He understands that not much gets me weepy, but for some reason, this does. Cheers to you for sharing this, Diane! Now I must go dust off my trainers and get back out there. I need to feel the magic of the race starting signal again.
Yay, so glad to hear you'll be getting back in the running game, Gidget!
Whahahahahaha. All that crackling in the beginning was your GoPro arguing about the cold.
I have cried every day since 24th Match 2021 when my Dad passed away. And then 6 weeks later Mum followed. Anything and everything can set me off x
Gentle hug to you Sharon. I’m so sorry, it’s so hard to loose your dad and mom so close together this past year. Take care of yourself 💐♥️
Sending some love and hugs your way❤️
Sending hugs to you, Sharon!
Good for you, Diane! I know the feelings you talk about exactly. But, they tell us we are alive and pushing ourselves forward! You have good friends! I went for a x-country ski with a good friend this morning and we loved the exercise and the chat about anything and everything. We are both taking our health and fitness in hand this year and it will be so good to have the support and encouragement!
Diane I too cry when I get mad or frustrated by things that have upset me directed at me. I think it is because I was stressed at the moment I cried.
I also cried for 10 years after the decision to abort a child in 1990 at 23 yrs old (which I was against in beginning), the loss was too devastating plus that resulted in me not able to have more children. So I remained childless so all that caused me to cry every night I was alone for 10 years until one day a weight was lifted and I didn’t cry any more. I am still devastated but the acceptance is now there. It happened I can’t reverse it! So I haven’t cried for a number of years except if I watched sad movies in past year!
Ps I love swimming but not sure if I could ever brave going into freezing waters. Well done 👏🏻on your challenge of swimming in cold water and getting a metal🎖
Diane, I can so relate. I am not competitive, just like to do something if it is fun! Cheers to you! 😘
Yay, go us, Faith!
😢 kaDee from Seattle,
I cry every Christmas,
Those darn Christmas songs, by Karen Carpenter gets me every time.
I was crying with you at the end of the video! Ra Ra Ra!!! You got it first Diane!! Congratulations!!!! Love from Argentina
Such a timely and supportive video, thank you Diane! I need that reminder to push through that fear and to not just avoid the situations that are scary. 💕
Thank you for showing up so pulled together as you do! Many you-tubers are going without their usual presentation. Really shows that your habits work through the challenges of life!
As I sit here watching this from warm and sunny Florida, I even got a chill once your GoPro hit the ice cold water and the hearing the sound of your breath! Congratulations on your win Diane!
Your friends cheering for you got _me_ a bit choked up.
Diane, I can relate to your saying you cried or were on the verge during your ice swimming. I am finding myself to be in a season where I need to branch out and socialize more. I am 45. I am divorced. My son is a teenager. I have a bit more time now and going out to find me and my interests again starts those type of tears. Thanks you for your active lifestyle that reminds me that I need to find a life for me. ♥️🇺🇲
Hello Diana
You look lovely
Yes I do cry easily
Once again thank you for your videos
Today I was decluttering paper work
I do this every January one day a week the whole of January
For half hour on a Tuesday
I feel good
And now it's me time afternoon
Soak my feet
Do 10 minutes of mindfulness
And paint my nails
Great plan for the month, Mary - I am cheering you on with my pom poms!
@@DianeinDenmark
Ah thank you Diane
Congratulations Diane!👏👏🍾
I've been with you for years. This has got to be one of your best videos yet! Congratulations and thank you, Diane.
I am also not a crier but when I do, it is usually about my family especially my children.
Oh, I do cry while watching movies! I guess that is why I enjoy watching crime and crime thrillers instead of drama! Haha.
A spurtle! I have two for stirring porridge. My Scottish father-in-law made them on his lathe. Absolutely treasure them!
I cry maybe every few months, usually when I'm very frustrated or feel hopeless about a situation. I can sympathy tear up if someone I'm with is crying.
Diane, I know you're not a "professional" but you swim so regularly, you can call yourself a swimmer! I feel the same about housework and homemaking. I feel that I'm not a housekeeper/homemaker, even though I've been babystepping, decluttering, zone cleaning since 2019 (possibly 2018). I gained more confidence in myself in 2021 and incorporated the daily focus into my life. I need to be kind to myself and tell myself that I am a homemaker and I've worked hard to become one even though I'll always be a work in progress.
Yes, you should congratulate yourself for all your efforts, Edel - you are doing a great job! 🖐😀
And being angry makes me cry too, and not much else!
❤️ lovely as always Diane!
I learned to run last year and ran my first race (a 10K) in September. I started crying at the start line! I think it was just nerves and excitement. My friend who was with me had no idea what to do! Apparently she's not a cryer lol.
Not sure what you were worried about...you kicked bahookie! 😂 You are such an inspiration for getting out of your comfort zone!
Go Diane!🏅
It's a spurted for stirring porridge!
Way to go Diane!! Thank you for sharing your great accomplishment with us! What a fabulous experience! You did great! 🥰
Congratulations!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥂🥂🥂
Well done Diane! That was great. 👏😊
Hi Diane, I was never much of a cryer ... until I had my children. Since then I do cry very easily - the news, a sad film, Bob Saget passing, anything! And P.S. - that's so cool (pun not intended) that you filmed underwater!
Pain pushes VISION pulls!
Loved this Diane! Well done! Xx Niamh in Dublin
Thanks Diane. I always learn something new from you! 😄
Well done,for your win. I can't even get into the Mediterranean sea as quick as you . Hate cold water.
I get tearful when I think of my darling son, he was hit by a drunk driver.. Died age 18 ..
Sorry to hear that. You have every reason to be tearful. My heart goes out to you. I can't even imagine what you are going through. Take good care of yourself.
@@MrsBullfinch thanks xxx
You are in my thoughts, Joan! 💖
What a great video!!! So happy for you!!!
Thank you Diane for a fantastic video and for sharing your feelings so openly. You are such an inspiration and I am sure you are helping many people to look at themselves in a different light. Well done with the race, which I thoroughly enjoyed watching. Best wishes from Brittany, France.
Sending you huge hugs Diane xxx
I use to cry at everything but life kind of knocked it out of me. Last time I cried was when my stepdad died. After that, I haven't really cried at all. Not when my husband died, not when my mom died. It's like the well dried up. I was sad but couldn't cry.
How interesting, Cheri! What about "happy tears", do they still come?
@@DianeinDenmark Not really. It's truly like the well dried up. It's been almost 17 years. I do laugh and feel sad but no tears.
Hi, Diane, thank you for sharing, you’re a real braveheart and so are all the other ones! Congratulations🏅! I know that teary feeling, because I joined a lot of running competitions, although I’m not a pro and not even talented… but I prepared well, like a pro, and had fun. Some 'real' sports people asked me why I’m doing that, because I’ll never climb up the 'steps', haha, I told them: I KNOW! But with only the talented ones YOU could never afford such competitions, we fun people are the most and we pay the most. For me, it was the MOTIVATION to reach my goal: having (almost) daily fresh air and movement after a long day in the office. I really wished I’d live near the coast, I’d be one of the daily swimmers for sure! Love the sandals of the lady her daughter made for her! So thoughtful and funny! Well, time for my (almost) daily round of 4-5k, a grey day needs some colours🌈. I’ve knitted some new colourful hats and scarfs I’ve to show the world. And some routines aren’t done so far. Love, Monika❣
Haha: forgotten: I’ve NEVER heard of a spurtle , I even don’t know a german word for this object, although I’m a real 'oat girl', grown up with oats.
That was so fun to watch Diane! Congrats on your medal! ❄️🏊♀️🏅
I think the object is either something to make a hole in a pie to let the steam out or a magic wand 😜💕 edit: so it’s a spurtle, well you learn something new every day 👍
Watching this video again. So excited for the ice challenge today 🧊🏊🏼♀️💨🐻❄️
Hi Diane, love your videos! It's a spurtle for making porridge💓
Well done. Great achievement 👏
Congratulations on your medal . Thanks for sharing this with us.
It was errand day, but cut short to snow squalls with zero visibility and freezing rain! We were able to get about half done and the rest is pushed back til tomorrow. Rest of the holiday lighting was packed away this morning. The tree stand is in a block of ice in an oak barrel for awhile…. Just an easy breakfast for dinner, French toast is a fav. Gonna take a rest!
French toast sounds good right now, Jeanne!
Congratulations Diane! Thanks for showing us this side of you, I'm so glad I found your channel.
This was a fun chat Diane. After watching your channel for a while - it has made me want to join a fitness group. I don’t even care what the activity is as much as it is spurring me on in health and community. We moved to a new area and then the pandemic hit and it has been such a challenge to feel connected.
Great, being connected with a group gives so many benefits!
Thank you for this video because I really needed it.
Glad it was helpful, Dia Elaine!
You were flying! Congrats on your metal!
So exciting Diane!! You did great!
This was such a lovely video. Glad you shared.
Well done on the swimming, love the spurtle.
Awe, you are so fantastic Diane!! Congrats on your swim and medal. I got Christmas decor and the trees down and all put away over the weekend, some hubby help too........and so that is done. And even put out Valentine decor. Looking forward to your next video! Take care!
Oh a round spurtle. I’ve only seen flat ones. Blessings
That was really great!! Woohoo! You are AMAZING! I thought the implement was for bread. I may be watching too much British Bake Off. 🤣
Another wonderful and inspiring video Diane! I always enjoy your positivity
Fantastic Diane! Congratulations
Thank you so much, F Sp!
Yay for you! Always love seeing your ice swimming videos. And I appreciate the thoughts about the "winter blahs"
It is a spurtle to stir your porridge x well done, just watched to the end. You are awe inspiring 👍
I have my mother's spurtle! I didn't know anyone else who had one! On another note, I can't thank you enough for your heartfelt sharing. Thank you for keeping it real for us. I'm most likely to cry when thinking of loved ones who have passed on but I'm not alone there.
Way to go!👏🎉🤩🍾
Oh Diane, thank you for sharing. I seem to cry every day. Happy tears, proud tears, upset tears, etc. And yep at movies, or even sporting events when I know someone has worked so hard to cross that finish line and they did it or even if they didn't win... I see the work they put into and feel the sadness when they don't win. I had tears watching your video. Congratulations on your win!!! Looked like a GREAT time with all the ladies.
I appreciate you so much on so many levels. Thank you for being you, and discussing things many shy away from that we all experience. Good job.
Got a little tear eyed watching you swimming. Congratulations...I am in aww of your winter swimming. Take care.
Proud of you!
Thanks for taking me swimming 🏊♂️ with you.
Any time, Nancy!
Congratulations Diane. What an inspiration you are.
Thank you so much, Jane!
Oh Diane this video was amazing. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability. I am a weeper and I must say that as soon as you jumped in the water, I was weeping! You are a true inspiration.
Bravo to pushing past the jitters/and those stomach butterflies and completing your Ice Swim Race - Brava & congrats in coming 1st!
I've always found that I do better when I have some structure without it I become less productive and even feel out of sorts sometimes feeling down, become super sensitive and can cry at anything. Sometimes it's out of frustration, or a past memory or just a feel good movie. The good part is I can recognize it very quickly (when I'm out of structure) and reset where needed. Prep the night before to simplify mornings, early to rise for exercise, journaling, quiet time to start my day helps me feel mentally, emotionally and physically stronger and happier.
I've lived in Canada my whole life and still don't like the cold🥶could not imagine swimming in 3 degree C
