- obsession with self help & spiritual growth can be damaging
while i'm always one for wanting to be the best version of myself possible, i'm starting to notice that the obsession with self improvement has taken over a lot of our lives. whether it be on social media or from a new book, there are thousands of different tips on how to level up, glow up, grow, etc. even our spiritual journeys feel like a constant call for us to be better so we can attract more abundance. this video is a reminder that a lot of this pressure to constantly improve is rooted in capitalism, and that you are inherently worthy of love, joy, and success - just as you are at this given moment.
my vids are now available on spotify & apple!

Just a little chit chat vid to serve as a reminder that you are enough as you are ❤
The fact that she is posting videos like this is gold cause it is what I am going through rn...
No cap but your "value" is how you are percieved by men in the sexual/dating market place, and to give the advice that you are "enough" is misleading and pandering.
Ofc ur not XD
thanks
needed this. thank you
I was extremely guilty of this. I'll be a better man when I lose weight , save money, buy a house, etc. Then I realized.....I'm already a good man. My life is already good. When I stopped chasing the "white rabbit," a heavy weight was lifted from me. Don't miss the journey trying to reach the destination.
I'll be a better woman when I lose weight, get a high paid career, buy a car, and buy my own condo. I don't want to date and find a serious partner until I achieve those things. I'm hoping I will by age 30. I only got 5 years left
Amen🙏❤️
Oh you got me tearing up😢
@@se2664 As someone who is 25, it’s good to have goals but your life isn’t over if you don’t achieve all those things by 30. That mentality needs to end.
Whew this was worded perfectly. So good, thank you!
My friend calls it “destination addiction”. We always think once we reach a certain point in life, that will be the end all be all & life will finally be perfect but that’s never the case. The whole time we were supposed to be enjoying the journey & process not waiting until we get to the destination.
I feel like that what life should be, obviously with a balance. Its like a business, you have a mission statement that is the whole purpose of the business that has no limits and objectives that can be measured that helps you accomplish that bigger mission. Your lifetime should have a purpose and you should have goals that should help you fulfill that purpose. Yes you should enjoy the journey and you enjoy it by seeing you get steps closer to fulfilling your purpose. But sometimes you have to stop and reflect on how far you’ve gone to express gratitude but you still have to chase your destination to feel accomplished. That how I see it
Interesting term. I thought of it as a hedonic treadmill, but destination addiction is a good way to describe the process!
I’m trying to learn how to enjoy the process
destination addiction can be really dangerous, because it can get to the point where constantly thinking about reaching certain destination makes you lose time that you could use to actually work on your goals. I’ve been there
Led me to think
THIS! We are not incomplete without improvements. We operate from such a sense of lack that we forget abundance is already here and we just need to slow down to recognize and enjoy it
Yesss
In other words just stop and be grateful for what you have instead of always looking at what your friends are buying,stop looking for the best new thing and don't BE afraid to miss ou
BUY into this mindset: You are inherently worthy of the best and valuable without doing anything else than being who you already are everything that you want will come to you with a lot more ease knowing you are already more than enough as you are at your Core beloveds
Yesss we are these divine beings who have been taught otherwise so we just have to remember this!
Well that all depends on “who” you are otherwise this might be terrible advice 😂
@@sanban6766 im not sure what this comment means exactly but ill take it you mean shitty people, i know my take on this is quite relative and you may read this w a grain of salt (since this entire topic is very widely philosophically debated anyways) but just to open perspective, i honestly think many people who do shitty things/are shitty people dont necessarily come from a place of worthiness or value, and even if they act like it externally, its just a front. imo no one with an inherent sense of worth or value would take the time to take down anothers bc its kinda like filling a void for your own, and why make up the losses for something you already possess? i understand that not everyone's core beliefs are healthy, but making someone's worth a dichotomy of good and evil does not change them one bit, this isnt any sort of justification whatsoever and ofc people need to be held accountable for their shit but that doesnt mean taking down their inherent worth as a human being, realizing you are more than enough doesn't mean you accept the shit youve done but is rather than a self-reminder that you are more than just your actions which are projections of how you are internally/mentally anyways, internal empathy (in conjunction with accountability) is a step towards healing and growth.
@@sanban6766 Exactly. I absolutely agree. And it sounds like an excuse for “I really don’t believe I’ll achieve my desires. We all need to be mindful of what we’re actually co-signing and coming into agreement with. Worth should never be aligned with improvement. That has absolutely nothing to do with improvement and shows a huge lack of comprehension.
@@bakkei444 wow this was so beautifully put. you are so articulate & amazing. i cannot believe how much i love this
I've been feeling this sense of contentment lately and life is flowing so much easier fro me. My prayers are simpler. My intentions are simpler. It feels good.
Well said, Jasmine! It's all about getting closer to your internal self; that's where peace of mind and contentment comes from. I work myself too hard for other people because I was afraid they would judge me if I ever stopped self improving. Getting closer to my true self has made me realize I can take breaks for myself - and that's okay.
I love this comment
Pls share more!!
@@sivialove475 thanks!
Glad that's happening for you! I'm going through similar feelings right now so that's cool
"You are the universe experiencing itself."
That is amazing and definitely something that's going to stick with me for a long time.
"and the universe said I love you
and the universe said you have played the game well
and the universe said everything you need is within you
and the universe said you are stronger than you know
and the universe said you are the daylight
and the universe said you are the night
and the universe said the darkness you fight is within you
and the universe said the light you seek is within you
and the universe said you are not alone
and the universe said you are not separate from every other thing
and the universe said you are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself, reading its own code
and the universe said I love you because you are love."
A real quote from the end credits of Minecraft that I think you'd enjoy! I actually have the first 4 lines as a tattoo because of the meaning and sentimental value.
you should read alan watts - the book on the taboo against knowing who you are. it explains this thought beautifully
“life is learning again and again how to love ourselves more deeply”
i have not loved a sentence more spoken
In my journal yesterday, I literally wrote “why is life a project?” because I was so tired of feeling like I constantly had to be working on myself. Then today this video came up in my recommended - such perfect timing. I really needed to hear everything that you’re saying, thank you so much 🙏🏾 I’ve subscribed!
I've never commented before but it's so interesting how we seem to be evolving in the same way. A few weeks ago something just "clicked" internally where I felt satisfied, content and proud of me. My growth is now more about expanding and enjoying that process of expansion instead of trying to compensate for things I'm "lacking". I'm starting to accept and like me for who I am in this moment and not just who I can be. I'm no longer loving me for my potential. I've started to just *be*... if that makes sense.
Same! It is such an eye opener.
Society likes to sell many things as the solution for our problems even when they aren't,you Will run,fight and get it but in the end you won't feel/get what you were expecting and then you notice that you made a mistake,what is really important is your Health both physical and mental if you have This then everything else became unnecessary or just a bonus thing.
Same here, I just recently had the revelation that after a year or so of getting comfortable accepting my awakening, I'm starting to feel rooted and secure enough to branch out from my perception of "the spiritual self". I don't know if you have experienced this, but when I was first spiritually awakened it was so terrifying, but it eventually became my safe space; one of self love and acceptance. Then any time I deviated from my "spiritual identity," I felt lost and scared that I would lose that safety. I finally just now am starting to feel safe enough to branch out into other aspects of my personality I had abandoned post-awakening.
The power of the present is truly a beautiful thing. I remember I used to be so fixated on the future; to the point where I was missing out on who I was in the moment. It wasn’t until I let go of that fixation, that my life would begin to change for the better. I say this to say: Let go of the attachment to your desires, while still taking the action. If you feel like you’ll never be complete without fulfilling your dreams, then you’ll broadcast that energy. That energy will only replicate, and reflect. Show up for yourself today and always remember that who you are today, is deserving of the life you wish to live.
@Trinity M I respect your point of view, however, let me respectfully go more in depth for you.
I’m not sure who “we” is, but I’m not using the term “energy” to label every single thing. However, energy is in everything and that’s something that can be proven. Honestly if a person wishes to use that term, tell me why they can’t?
Is there a rule? What spaces are you referring to? It would make sense if I was completely mislabeling, but that’s not what’s being done here. I was more directly discussing positives and negatives outcomes to which a situation can bring. “Energy”, can take a positive or negative form, depending on what you do. Let’s use anxiety as you stated in your reply. What type of impact does anxiety have? Well, that depends on the situation; as anxiety can be a good and bad thing. Let’s just say one’s anxiety causes them to stop progressing in life. What do you think will come if this person decides to not deal with it? It would continue to bring more negativity in to one’s life. Therefore that’s negative “energy”. Now let’s take a look at the grounding stones you discussed. Obviously this is not something negative you gave energy to, so what do you think that is? It’s positive “energy”. I stated the word “energy” since it can be seen, so I thought, that I’m implying positives and negatives. I agree, that we should learn ourselves as humans. However in the rate at which we “get stuff” isn’t something that’s necessarily supposed to be fast all the time. There are lessons that are completely avoidable and things that we may need to work through a bit more. That’s like saying you can quickly master or avoid depression by having mental health hygiene, when that’s not how it works. Don’t trick yourself into thinking you can figure everything out faster by just doing that; that can be detrimental. These are my thoughts though, and we can chat more if you wish, I love stuff like this.
I love this. All 2022 I was telling friends how tiring the past 2 years have been and I just want to do nothing this year. I don’t want to grow, I don’t want to work towards anything. I just want to sit back and enjoy what I have manifested so far. Which in turn can be growth itself. I also realize that in itself can be a privilege because just as much as I have achieved so much everything is also getting more and more unattainable. Food, house prices and rent. This makes it hard for some of us to enjoy the now.
The key to life really seems to be having self-love and the urge for self-improvement coexist.
I truly believe both is super important, and that's also what you said, between the lines.
Being too obsessed with improving can hinder oneself I definitly agree, but self-love alone,
believing I am enough in the present moment, without doing absolutely anything, will only bring you so far, in my opinion.
Nice Video!
I think what she meant is even improving yoursef will come naturaly i mean you will feel the ease to be more disciplned without beating yourself UP, doing it with love
@@cyrineabid3446 I see your point, or the clarification of her view point respectively. To me it seems like our opinions on this topic are very close, it is just that we phrase it differently and slight differences in the approach.
agree!
this is so real!! for a long time i thought i’d be more deserving of romantic and platonic love once i improved. while it’s important to be the best you can be in a friendship/relationship, it’s also possible to be loved at the place that you’re at. i developed a lot of anxiety because i was so worried about not being good/perfect enough for friends or a boyfriend. thank you for speaking about this!!
ouch
I felt same
i love u so much thank u for this
im stuck in that stage right now, i feel like im not worthy of any romantic experiences. it sucks
Yes, everything you do in life is spiritual. Whether you are meditating or twerking, eating vegan or eating a buttery ass steak… the point of life is to live!
I had the realization that “this is it” on one of my shroom trips 💗
I highly suggest the book Wherever You Go, There You Are by Jon Kabat Zinn if you haven’t read it already. I think you or anyone watching your channel would love it!
Yessss! And thank you for the book suggestion, I'm adding this to my list!
Thanks Lynette ❤
Great observation! I totally agree. Spirituality is the greatest self improvement because it makes you centered and grounded more than external achievements
thx! gonna watch some twerking videos now :D
@@davidvillacrez lol
7:29 another thing that helps - at least for me - is to change the word “worthy” or “deserving” to “capable”. once you start believing that you’re actually capable of doing something, you’re gonna be so much more motivated to make that thing come to life
“We are the universe experiencing itself” keeps me grounded and gives me more peace than anything else. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤
“Happiness is not something that you have to achieve. You can still feel happy during the process of achieving something” - Kim Namjoon.
I heard this quote in 2016 and I never really got it as a teenager. Not until I'm working towards university graduation in 2022 that I realize what it's actually mean. I keep reminding myself that I will be happy and not miserable anymore when I reach a certain goal, whether it's to get an internship, finish my internship report and my graduation thesis, finish my internship and actually graduated. But when I reached those goals, there's new problems coming up. I graduated and I now I need a job, or my life is over!!! I keep on feeling depressed, waiting for the next time I reach my goals to feel that tiny bit of happiness before going back to the darkness again.
If anyone out there is planning for their 2023, quarterly, monthly or weekly goals, don't put happiness as a compensation/ reward for you finishing those goals. It will never truly make you happy. You can be happy without having accomplished something in your life. You are worthy of happiness. Your own existence right now is worthy of respect and admiration.
I realized I had destination addiction when I finished my doctorate and realized there was nothing past that. When you’ve maxed out potential, the only thing leftover is the life you still have to live.
I needed to hear this, I’ve personally been watching too much hyper masculine testosterone filled self improvement content, constantly feeling like I have to grind every single second, wake up money is on my mind 24/7! and it’s been burning tf me out so much especially mentally
So to hear this from a woman’s perspective and essence. Thank you
I never comment but yours hit home I’m trying to get away from that I was so obsessed
I’m wishing you the best in that journey! You are inherently valuable!
Since Wednesday night to now i started feeling so stressed and tired of thinking of what’s next I need to do. I realized I’m going through a huge re-birth to and breaking out of old ways of thinking. However that old conditioning of pressure to keep pushing is installed from society so it takes patience with yourself. This entire year I’ve been unemployed since graduating from college a year ago and since then I felt so much pressure to improve, get off my ass etc.. cause I needed to do something for others approval when really I have creative dreams that don’t have to do with the corporate system.. people still put me in a box. But all I can remind anyone reading this is understand you’re working with the universe ❤ you don’t need to keep hustling. Take one step at a time and put in the work but don’t stress yourself out, anytime we shift from go go go and “I have to do it all” to I am goimg to do my best and trust the divine is helping me 🦋 you’re on to something huge! Never give up on your vision even if it’s slow rn. Keep it up 💕 I’d rather you go after what you want then try to please others ❤️
I always say to myself that seeking self improvement and become obsessed with it could be another face of self hate, accepting our self in good or bad is key of life.
Can’t wait to see next week video love u💖
Absolutely
@3:26 That part I rewinded like 20x, because the part where you say most of us have worked REALLY hard, that narrative for POC is even more true because often times we don't feel like we've worked hard enough, and that's seen in our childhood upward. Resting and relaxing is the goal, comfortability is the goal, and contentment, not the rat race. So, thank you that part resonated with me, so I just wanted to leave my think piece. 🌺🌷🌺🌼🌺
Man, I was just having an internal panic about not achieving certain goals and calculating the time it would take to recover lost efforts and seeing this video RIGHT in front of my face after refreshing the home page is just what I needed. I am wonderful just the way I am in this given moment
rest is soooo so important and we don't get enough permission to do so. thank you for reminding us that rest is okay and should be honored. xx
I am so happy to see you talking about this. The constant self improvement mindset also subconsciously promotes the idea we are “broken” / “need to be fixed” / “not good enough” / “damaged”. I just had this realization now.
Whenever I feel like watching another self improvement video out of “fixing” energy - I step back and try to give myself self-love instead ❤
Man this made my eyes water a bit. In this moment, I am enough. And I deserve everything right, not 3 years from now. Not once I reach a certain goal... thank you for this!
yesss🥺
the title alone was something i needed to hear
I get your point but it is REALLY important to not confuse this with justifying laziness and lack of ambition, because yes you need to be constantly improving and evolving, not for others but for you, in order to grow you need to fail so you need to be trying constantly and get out of your comfort zone. Don’t forget that
this, life is a balance. I feel this is a good mindset when the improvement is hindering you
you have impeccable timing with your videos, i always find you comments so uplifting and insightful ✨
You are so timely. Just talked about this with my family literally yesterday. Receive this heavy
i literally posted a video on this topic last week, i always find that things u talk about are so relatable to my current thoughts. it’s insane how much we can be in alignment with people we don’t even know. it feels like the collective consciousness just continues to reveal itself
ive been having a really hard time lately with coming of age (23) and growing up. I spent the latter part of my teen years and first parts of my twenties in the pandemic, and i feel like it negatively affected me so much. i became addicted to nicotine, weed, food, social media, and i drank more than i should. ive been on this craze of quitting all of it in the span of the past month and i just quit nic today and im absolutely losing it. i was scrolling through my recommended when this video showed up, and holy shit did i need to see this. ive been so focused on "getting better and being the best version of myself and having it all figured out and a game plan" that ive been ignoring everything else in life, the good and the bad. ive just been existing and striving towards the future instead of living in the now.... thank you so much for this
this video couldn’t have come at a better time for me. thank you so much lynette for touching on something that i myself have been struggling with. lately i’ve felt as though i’ve just been overloading myself with new "productive habits" so that i attract the things that i already have where as sometimes just existing and knowing that you’re in the right place at the right time is all you need on your journey. the rest will follow just as the universe intends. sending lots of love and light to everyone in this comment section 🙏🏾
i was listening to this while doing my stretches and you woke me up from my daily trance of always trying to improve. I had already forgotten how much i had improved in the past months! thank you for the wake up call 💓
Self improvement is the only thing keeping me from going sepukku mode tbh . That's where my true value lies tbh .
cried the whole time i was watching this. thank you Lynette
this is the exact video for me right now-- feeling into rest has been my main area of healing recently-- it literally feels like im putting down heavy suitcases♥︎♥︎ thank you
Thank you for this kind reminder, Lynette. I needed it! Also, at the moment I see that it could go beyond loving yourself, accepting yourself fully sounds like what's needed. ♡ Take care of yourself and have a great new year.
Thank you. I definitely need to appreciate my self as I am more. If I’m constantly chasing a “better me” I don’t allow myself the space to accept myself as I am now. Thank you
I really needed this. I'm always very goal driven but this can be a double edged sword if you don't balance it. It's important to try to improve but not to the point that it's unhealthy. We can't lose sight of the little things in life and most of all the happiness that comes with it. Thank you so much for being a light to others! ❤️
I think this point is one of your most powerful, the constant chase is also exhausting. You hit the nail on the head. Thank you 🙏
Sis! I am so happy I found you and your channel! I have these conversations with myself all the time usually because my circles don't get where I'm coming from and I'm left feeling weird and awkward after talking to them. I feel grounded and on my right path after listening to your videos.
This is so true. I've seen the increased amount of "leveling up" and self-improvement / spirituality videos and contents in the internet for the last two years and all I can say is it is ego-based. I know this because I also been there trying to improve myself and my life and it just brought me a huge amount of disappointment in myself. It feels endless to go chase or do the next thing, it will only burn you out and you feel not enough. I'm currently still healing myself from the damage that I made. I had to unlearn all these beliefs that my worth is based on what I can do and my accomplishments.
i love this video. thank you for speaking it. we feel like we are asked to continually "heal" ourselves, but you end up realising it's an endless pit, and then you forget it's about the process of unfolding the lessons and experiencing the beautiful unraveling of ourselves and how we are able to deepen our connection with ourselves through those experiences
Lynette you are telling THEE absolute truth! This was such a fitting on time video. I’m a true believer in “live in and enjoy the moment.” I apply that statement to not always whipping out my phone, or hurrying to video record something as well. Thank you for sharing! ♥️
I had this realization a few weeks ago so the timing of this video is impeccable! I was chasing perfection and assumed my worth would be realized at sometime in the future but accepting that I am good enough as is right now is freeing
I really needed this. I need to sit with myself sometimes and do nothing and be happy with that. Not be so toxic to myself and feel like I have to work work work work or I’m not good enough. I am good enough, and wanting to be better is still being better.
Lately I've started to enjoy various moments of my life, when I hang out with friends, when I drive through this one spot on my way home and blast my music, when I rewatch my favorite shows, when I make a drawing I feel proud of, etc. I'm a very goal oriented person but I've adapted my mindset to recognize that I can be actively completing "goals" and enjoying what I already have, therefore succeeding in the present. I like what you said about being capable in the present, I believe that I can accomplish my future goals because I am capable of having a happy worthwhile life now, regardless of what I want for the future.
This shows the perfect timing. I needed this advice today. I've been focused on constantly improving instead of appreciate all that I have and all that I am. Thanks for the video!
I really needed this message. I was so focused on making my identity on what I can do and it's directly affecting the future that I know is mine.
For the last year, I felt like I had to continue to do and be and I identifed with the hardships within certain aspects of my journey and gains I made from it.
I realized that life can just be, whatever it is. However, no matter what happens, I will always be my own best advocate, my own best lover and my own best friend. I was not used to receiving and it showed based on the actions I took previously.
I am more than enough and I am more than okay.
this was such a wonderful reminder that i’m worthy of my desires in this moment. it’s so natural to me to feel the need to do more to have more, but i do think that’s not “natural” at the same time. i loved what you said about what if you just enjoy where you’re at right now. i hope youre basking in your success and your prosperity, you deserve it
growing up in church really drilled this mindset into me. i spent the last few years figuring out which parts of myself were truly mine-my thoughts, beliefs, mantras, life path. and while I still have to remind myself that I don't need to be in constant movement and that rest is ok, i've truly begun to sit with myself and enjoy the journey without feeling pressure to self-improve. thank you for your words!
Thank you I really needed to hear this! In many ways I have become obsessed with self improvement as I think it’s given me this sense of control over my life. I’m learning a lot at the moment about feminine and masculine energy and it’s a very masculine energy to be in. Constantly thriving for “better” and trying to achieve never ending goals. I remember this horrible feeling of achieving the work promotion I wanted and then there was this feeling of okay ticked that off the list “now what”. I don’t want to feel like that anymore, constantly climbing the mountain only to get to the top and then climb another mountain.
It’s so good to be able to let go and go with the flow of life and to give yourself time to rest and to enjoy the moment. ❤❤❤
This was perfectly said! I didn't know how much I did this before I listened to this video. And to think the answer is simple. Just live in the moment, JUST LIVE! ❤
Thank you so much for this video i feel everything you say. We need to stop doubting ourself for who we truly are at the moment and trying to be a perfect version of ourself and think when we reach that eveything is perfect. But that version of oureself is already inside of us. We just need to recognize it and be happy with who we are as human beings. For everyone who is doubting they self you are amazing as you are today and everything you truly deserve will fall in line just dont give up!! Need more content like you on in this world i appreciate it!! Keep doing youre thing❤️💯
I'm so glad i've stumbled across your video. lately i've just been tired like seriously tired of this cycle of life.I've been feeling like i've reached my max capacity constantly running like a little hamster all for what?! I've even gotten to the point i can't appreciate the stage in my life that i've reached and it makes me sad cause i know i've worked so hard to be here but it still feel like it's not enough and even worse i feel like i'm meant to be doing something else but i don't have the strength anymore for anything. I shared all that to say thank you for making this video cause at lease i know i'm not crazy for feeling this way!
This is aligning with what I’m wanting to practice into the new year. I’m ALWAYS “working on myself” and feeling like all I do is just focus on that.
Focus on what makes you feel good, stop giving so much energy to the things u don’t want 💕
This is so interesting. I was just talking about this . I said to myself “I’m tired of self improvement “… all I have been doing is working on self improvement. Self improvement is not a bad thing but I was obsessed with I guess
I saw the title and immediately subscribed. thank you for this, it was such an amazing watch.
I LOVE YOU!!!! OH M Y GODNESS KEEP SPREADING LOVE BABY!!!! i needed to hear this, even if it was as one random viewer out of thousands. Thank you so much! I WILL LOVE MYSELF AND I WILL NOT LET OTHERS EFFECT ME ANYMORE
I loved this..because this was me for the past months. It can be damaging because youre constantly searching, trying to avoid making more mistakes, when in reality I've trapped myself away from many opportunities instead of consistently going. Thank you for this.
I absolutely loved this video Lynette, brought new words and ideas to things I have been thinking a lot about lately - had to rewatch the part when you said "You are the universe experiencing itself" - thank you as always!!!!
For a long time I have always had the feeling that I had to reach some things to be happy (in my case, money, losing weight, traveling, etc) , but I realized this is only a mentality, is not like a specific point of your life where you are gonna be "perfect" or have everything you want, having those things are not gonna change totally my life but being grateful for even having food or a bed to sleep in should be enough for being happy :D, tysm for the video
I needed this ❤ thanks for the reminder that we are enough in the present moment that we are in. You’re such an inspiration!
❤❤❤
Agreed! I needed to hear this message today. I have been working myself to the brink trying to prove myself and others wrong. I'm so exhausted
Girl, your videos are truly needed thank you
Thank youuuuu. Coming out of the other side of my spiritual awakening, I now realize how much of a project I was making myself. And I'm over here like why aren't my big manifestations coming through, but the truth is even with all the healing I've done I didn't feel like I was healed enough to deserve good things in my life.
This was a supremely divine reminder- it’s like I “know” all of that- I’ve heard it a thousand- HOWEVER- it’s so hard to actively embody this when you’re in a hard place for a long time- especially in these 2020’s … anyway- this was perfectly put and I never even seen your channel before. Subscribed. Thank you again 🙏🏼
I needed this so much rn. I've worked on myself enough. I deserve to rest. I am good enough as i am. I have come so far already, there's no need to limit myself of things i want. I am good enough to have healthy relationships, career options, possibilities. I have learned enough. There's no need to hold myself back, it has been limiting me. I am ready as i am, i don't need to improve all the time. Thank you sm for helping me realize this
YOU are a new level ! This is so true and helpful . This is unconditional love . Totally accurate and I deeply understand what are you taking about. Muchh LOVE.
thank you so much for this video. these days i was in a pretty bad mental space and having someone to explain to me that im enough and worthy is really important
Girl, you are helping me so much you don’t have any idea!! You’re the most realistic UA-camr I found for real keep going please we need you!!! ♥️
my right ear starting ringing at 6.06 because yeeeah i’ve been really feeling that too. glad to be here, thanks lyn 🙏🏽🧚♂️
Your sensibilities are so incredible and empowering, thank you!
These mediums you’re using to share your ideas are great for reaching so many people, I could also see a book of yours really taking off if you were to ever write one.
This is my first time commenting on literally anything at all but THIS really helped my change perspectives a lot ! it was just miraculous! deeply grateful for all the work u've put in. thanks a lot!
I love you so much !! You speak everything I feel as an affirmation towards the life I want... You are doing everything I dreamed of years ago. Seriously you're one of the best and you've opened my eyes to who I need to be. 💞
lol " i think what alot of us really want is just to rest" LITERALLY!!
Thank you for this bc yes! Something clicked for me- I’ve learned to shape my reality and understood that I’m not lacking! Growth is about seeing all the blessings from the view of my already full cup and blessed life❤
Thankyou so much for this wonderful reminder. I’ve just recently had to move back home with my family and I’ve been struggling with my perception of myself about my life and how it could turn out. And it wasn’t even a full month of me being here and I got this brand new iPad Air for free after my old one being basically totaled. Saying all this to say, once I got the new iPad, I had to remind myself I deserve this, otherwise I wouldn’t have it.
Now I just have to believe that about every single thing I want in my life without any doubt. Everyone deserves to be happy and have a fulfilling life. It’s why we incarnated and came back to Earth at THIS specific time. The work is just doing the shadow work and dissolving the ego of the things that don’t serve us anyone.
Y’all stay safe and stay up💫
Omg, this has been such a big thing that Ive been coming to terms with. Letting go of the idea that I have to be someone, I have to stop this or start that in order to be “fixed” or ok or worthy of praise, has been so freeing. The notion that I deserve to be happy, that I am a complete human being, right where I am today, has been such a big comfort.
Funnily enough it came to me through a song, from which I essentially took away “you’ve done enough”.
Thank you so much for saying what needed to be said about the pressure we are made to feel as a society to be the best version of ourselves. I don’t usually comment but I wanted to put this out there.
This video just touched me in ways that I did not expect. I am going through a really bad breakup and I realized that he put so many unrealistic and unfair expectations on me and focused on who he wanted me to be instead of loving me as I am right now. It is still hard, but to hear you say that I am worthy and valuable as I am.. I needed that! Definitely gained a new subscriber girlie.
I'm in tears over hear 🥲 needed to hear this today. Thanks love xx
Amen girl! Was thinking about this the other day, how toxic this can become and UA-cam is definitely media where you can really see this happening- so much of my suggested content is how to better yourself, which def makes me guilty of buying into this. This is why I love your content, it’s much more present focused❤
Thank you so much for this lynette😭😭🙏❤️❤️❤️
This is a very important message, thank you for sharing!
The ‘self improvement’ path is a great way to get yourself going on this journey. That being said it is extremely important to eventually find a balance between growing and loving yourself and loving exactly where you are right now.
You got this ❤️
I truly appreciate your videos because I resonate alot with your content. More & more I realize how much unlearning there is to do. When you choose to let go of man made beliefs, titles, rules...and just wake up each day living in complete alignment to your values, what you want for yourself there's just a different level of peace you find within. I've recently worked on no longer label any moment as "bad", because they have truly contributed to my greatest "Aha" moments.
i just found your channel a few weeks ago and you are so inspirational to me! Thank You! for saying the things that some of us actually needed to hear ❤
I love your channel; definitely one of my top favorites! I also really admire your mind and how you share. Much love to you❤️
Yes! I agree. A lot of people are trying to improve themselves all the time, but at the same time they don’t understand why and which desires are their
Thank you so much. I needed this divine message. Wish I heard this growing up. But grateful I’m hearing this validation now. This so resonates with me and is so self compassionate
This video couldn’t have come at a better time ❤ you summed up exactly how I’ve been feeling and I find it really difficult to rest because I feel like I’m being unproductive or lazy. Always chasing and controlling rather than just going with the flow, but I am more aware of this pattern so I’m trying to lean into just being and celebrating the moment and everything I have done. Thank you for sharing x
This video just popped up and I’m so happy to have found your corner of the internet! Loving everything you have to share ✨
Thank you so much for speaking on this. I definitely needed this reminder today. I’m grateful that you decided to do all that you did to end up where you are now. I’m proud of you! 💗✨
Thank you so much I love watching your videos. Yes it’s so true and realizing this is helping me with standing up for myself and learning that lesson!
Thank you for making this video. I feel like walking around in my own numb shell most of the time and not really learning from most conversations I have (prob also due to masking and my brain). But this is actually feels like something kinda fresh and needed to me and I'm really glad I could hear this. I think I needed it rn!
This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. I feel like this genre of self improvement videos, and healing journey. Videos has gotten a little toxic. You’re right everybody needs to value and love where they’re at currently and stop worrying about getting to the next version of themselves.
ugh this video rings true for my throughout my whole life... needed this. thanks for making me realize i should be content with where i am ❤
this video has definetly meant a lot to me, i could not thank u enough for sharing this thought
