Sarah: “go to sleep early, wake up early”
Me: *watches this video at 3am*
Did you go to sleep first? That's how it's supposed to work lol
Lmao
LOL SAME
4 am team 🙋🏻♀️🤣
It’s 5:45a and I’m still awake and watching this. 😹
To the people commenting on what Sarah said about depression:
I think she was referring more to dealing with the blues and not the medical condition.
That's what I thought too. I thought it was obvious she wasn't referring to the medical condition, but maybe that's just me?
Yes, I think she didn't mean it the wrong way. She said she understands depression is a medical condition
Ok but she did say depression...
Eliška Illnerová if u google it the word depression has 2 meanings
@@j4nn4h4sh well, the "other meaning" refers mostly to things that aren't human. And when you're referring to humans, the term "depression" is widely understood as the illness. So when you don't want people to think you're talking about clinical depression, just say "when you're feeling down".
I don't want to jump at her or anything, her only mistake was to use the wrong word. Other than that she was right. But I've heard too many tips from healthy non-professionals about how to get out of depression, and they're all so useless that they're borderline offensive. That's why I had to add my two cents.
I am not religious, however I really enjoy how gently you talk about your religion. It’s not in my face, you don’t scream about it, you never try and convince anyone of it, and you don’t judge those who don’t follow. It’s very refreshing and appreciated ❤️ love from Ontario
Yes!
This also seemed to be a little more God heavy than some of her other videos, and it still wasn't TOO much. I love how gentle she is as a whole.
It is refreshing isn't it?! She embodies what the TRUE love of Jesus looks like.
Also not religious
@@ashtonlynnmarie I agree!
does anyone notice that tip n°20 was exactly at 20:20 IN a video talking about 2020 resolution wow!!
🤯
Eeeee!
Yesss🤣
this is my favorite coincidence ever.
@@Laura-bk6es mine as well
I love the darkness comments. People need to realize that when you are sad and depressed, you have to be vigilant of what your medias are. What you are listening to and viewing can really pull you down. 2015 was the worst year of my life and I realize now, I was feeding it. I listen back to playlists and they were all sad and I was working at a very depressing place as well. Just all around bad. I love your channel and your positivity.
I agree. Our actions and daily habits have a huge impact on our mental state
literally when you asked "what are you drinking?" I was having the most delicious coconut water straight from the tree of my parent's place
Oh that sounds so good!!
I was just taking a sip of water when she asked that lol
I last drank a local brand of cola named Fritz Kola. It comes in glass bottles and here in Germany we have a deposit system so we return them to the supermarket and they get washed and refilled, which I love :)
I Love FritzLimo
That's so cool! We sometimes get milk at a place called Farm Fresh and it's in glass and you return them as well 😊
I wish companies here would do that. They used to. One of our local grocery stores just started selling a brand of milk and iced tea that comes in glass bottles, and we can return the glass bottles for a discount on the next bottle of milk. I love it! More companies need to do this.
Fritz Kola is also sold in a vegan restaurant near me (in Spain) and I love it!
@@sportypocahontas4774 Me too :)
When I was first diagnosed with RA, I could barely move without wanting to scream from the pain. I am SO SO grateful now to walk, hike, lift weights, everything! ❤. New year's resolution is to be more grateful of all that I have and all that I can do!
Sarah Cook I was one on a pretty high chronic pain before they could figure out I had hips issues I had terrible years. I had 2 surgeries in 2015 that changed my life. I can’t imagine living for ever with that amount of pain. Hope you can find something to relive your pain.
Same here! 🙋🏻♀️
Sending you lots of support!!!
New spoony here, same!
Sarah Cook I am so happy for you. I have psoriatic arthritis mutalins. It’s a rare form of psoriatic arthritis. I am really struggling. It’s like I need 12 plus hours of sleep and a nap everyday. I want so much to get myself together. I am trying. I not only want a better life for me but for my family. God bless you! Leslye
You're right when you're saying that it's important to try and concentrate on the positive things but also as someone who struggles with depression and anxiety since early teen years - hearing that it's valid, it's not your fault and other people experience similar things is really really important. We have to talk about it, it shouldn't be a tabu. People need to feel they're not alone with their struggles! Hearing someone who says that it's okay to feel like that actually has a healing power - this is what makes you start work on yourself. Until then, if you have depression, you tend to feel like everything's your fault, that it's your fault that you feel that way and that will just make it worse...
It would be awesome if you would do a monthly “books I read this month” video. Make it into like an ongoing series’
Hi Sarah,
I found your channel a little over a year ago when I felt my life was in shambles. My grandmother who raised me fell I'll Novemeber of 2018 and this up coming Feburary it will be a year without her. I rededicated my life to the Lord when she fell I'll and found my soberity with an addiction I fought for years. And after she passed I began to live minimalist in all aspects of my life. From my house, to my relationships, my diet and to my life goals. It really helped me prioritize things and see what was important. I returned to school and graduated, I married the love of my life, I took a dream job as a barista, got baptized and this August found out my husband and I are expecting our first child next April!! 😌 I can still remember when the days were too much to handle and even when I was grieving how much I loved your videos. And I still do. You're videos really do mean a lot to me and bring me joy. I appreciate you and your family so much. So I just wanted to thank you! I always pray for you and your family ❤ I want nothing but the best and as many blessings for you and your family in 2020!!
Hey so I felt the need to have a little confession in ur comment section. When you changed from beauty to minimalism I was super skeptical but now my mind has been totally changed, I am making changes in my lifestyle and these changes are making me so much happier everyday and i never would have looked into minimalism or being intentional with my lifestyle if it hadnt been for you. I watched you as a beauty guru and I would have never watched ur new videos if I hadnt really enjoyed ur old ones. Thank you so much for helping me change my life
Allison Keene I agree 100%!
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. -Psalm 51:10
I love how you aren't afraid to talk about your religion bc Ik a lot of ppl who don't like to talk about God. I appreciate that of you
Since you haven’t dealt with depression yourself it might be best not to really touch on the subject much since you don’t know much about it. It is incredibly beneficial to know we are not alone in the way we feel when we are depressed. Being around others and talking with others who know what your going through and understand you....it’s so so incredibly important.
I agree with you in the part about need for understanding. I definitely think it's crucial to know your not alone in what you're going through. However, I also agree with Sarah, but I think she meant something a bit different than you. What I got from that is people (not just depressed ones, people in general) need more positivity in their lives. They need to look for good sides of life, and it doesn't mean they should look away from this world's any problems, but they shouldn't let themselves be so easily overwhelmed by them. If everybody feel bad about some situation (and all of us sometimes do), and instead of looking for a solution and looking forward to a better future they just blindly believe that it's okay and to feel so bad and are sometimes even encouraged to feel that way, it's just a clear path for a clinical depression in not so long time horizon. I know that, I was there. And I know that if some good people in my life didn't help me see better things in life instead of dwelling on those horrible feelings i'd be the same wreckage of a person I once was.
Christina Anaya I think it’s also remember to important that when you’re down low it’s really hard to seek that out. Just saying we need to stop normalizing it (which is what I heard her say, I’m paraphrasing) doesn’t help.
Totally agree. Thankfully I've never had an actual depression, but I am very prone to depressed moods and anxiety unfortunately. Hearing about other people who deal with this helps me feel not alone and gives me tools to deal with it. Only focusing on the positive as Sarah says in the video unfortunately does not always help. Listening to happy music when I'm feeling sad for example can make me feel even worse. That being said: @christina Anaya thank you for expressing your opinion respectfully and not makin the commentsection a fighting pit about everything we disagree on with Sarah.
Coming from someone who has gone through and came out on the other side of depression--I don't think you should surround yourself solely with others who are also depressed. Sure, it's comforting to know that you are not alone in what you are feeling/experiencing, but it's also so very important that you have people around you who are speaking LIFE into your situation. Depression is not a state that is meant to be lived in forever. It's so hard to try and live with a brain that feels like it's fighting against you--but you have to take a look at what you're feeding into yourself. For me certain music, TV shows/movies, social media, certain people were feeding into my depression and only worsening the problem. I feel our society has normalized depression without helping people get to the root of what is causing it.
Again, I’ll agree with Sarah, it’s like having cancer and agreeing and accepting to have a cancer... you would do that would you? When your brain fails to keep you afloat and tells you to give up you need to work hard to get to a better place, not to sit accepting it. It’s like when you put too much on weight and you’re not happy, do something about it don’t learn to accept your new size .... that’s what this compares to. I didn’t have depression but my best friend has a clinical depression and she’s not letting it take over and dictate her life, she’s training her brain with me and friends to feel better
I love the way your content makes me want to be a better version of me. 🌻
The food guilt one is huge!! I started feeling so much better once I started eating healthy but also left that guilt behind and allowed myself to eat whatever I wanted. Dont beat yourself up for enjoying food!
I love that you remind us that movement is something we take for granted. I’m an RN and see firsthand people can’t move at all! By not moving, we discount an amazing blessing! Thank you!
You mentioned being intentional about relationships and I have been really focusing on building up my relationships with my immediate family. My Dad just turned 81, my Mom just turned 80 and they both have good strong minds and health but I don't know how much longer I will have them. Also my oldest sister just turned 59 last month with my other siblings all being in their 50's not that thats old but I want to appreciate them now while I have them here on earth. Just one big thing I have been working on.
Number 12 was to have a servant's heart, which reminded me of a quote we use a lot at camp and I thought you might like it. It's "I am third." This translates to God comes first, others come second, and I am third.

Ive heard of this. However i put myself before god
😉 I like it! Mikey D you too.👍Thank you.
Thanks for the encouragement Sarah! I'm making a 2020 goals list as we speak! Now that it is the new start of a decade I would like to make a list of goals/improvements every year and pack it with my Christmas decor to read and evaluate the next year! I've come up with a lot more than I thought I could, some that really hit my feelings too. I remember my dad wanting us to do this when we were younger and I would think "how dumb!" But now being many years later and married starting my own life, I get it. I feel so bad for ever thinking that way. Your goals change and you often forget what you want to improve on, so its nice to have the list and to remember the person you've grown from. Sometimes we aren't the person we were from a year ago.
This video is very well done, Sarah. It is cohesive and flows well without appearing rushed or dragging on. The advice is grand, and works! I'm 20 years ahead of you as wife and momma and goals like these have helped me along my journey. Atta girl!
"Do it. I'm your Mom. I'm telling you: do it."
~Sarah Therese 2020
When you talked about hobbies, I realized that I haven't been drawing or painting since I got to college, until now that I've graduated and currently working. I realized that aside from reading, drawing is the one talent I have where I can relax and just visualize whatever I want. Oh, thank you for this and all the other advices. I just feel motivated rn! God Bless Sarah. Have a great day.😊
Sarah: “make lists”
Me: makes lists of habits that Sarah recommended
Same!😂
Same!
I started making lists during quarantine and it literally has changed my life.
Last year my husband and I started Dave Ramseys baby step program and paid off all of our debt by the end of the year! $26,000 of car and student loans along with a water softener loan and are now debt free besides our house mortgage. And i am due with our first baby this month, so we finished just in time! (And baby is already paid for in full in our health savings account)
Clarissa Standley how wonderful. Congratulations! My children are grown. I remember how excited we were. Enjoy every minute even the hard days. They grow up too fast. My daughter is about to leave for graduate school and I keep telling her come home I miss you. She’s like ( ok mother ). But I love reminding her that her momma is always here for her. I’m sure I will find good reasons to travel to visit her new home. My girls are stubborn and independent, wonder where they get that. Oh yah. Definitely enjoy this season in life. Leslye
Came from Instagram - pretty amazed by the behind the scenes process and seeing all the hard work involved in putting up a video. Thank you, Sarah!! I really admire your work ethic and enthusiasm!! ❤️
I just wanna say thank you for that it was super helpful and I’ve been praying and praying everytime I’m anxious or have a bad thought for everything to be okay but instead god brought me back to this channel so I can see my flaws, it made me realise that I need to slowly chip away at things and have discipline to do small bits often with everything I intend on achieving rather than be in a cycle of stress and worry but not being proactive and then letting it build up and feel worse and let it manifest into other anxieties I develop to distract from the rut I’m in. Thank you Sarah and god bless!
in 2019 for the first time in my 22 years i have debt, school loans and a new car loan. It has stressed me out so so much. can’t wait to have it paid off and be debt free once more!
Yesss I would absolutely love to see all of your routines💜
Girl I can feel Jesus into your words and I love it ❤❤
A few years ago I had really constant acne and was always getting cold sores and sick. I was depressed and miserable from being left out, made fun of, whispered about, and overall bullied. I chose to leave school because of it and switch to online school. I haven’t had that bad skin constantly since then. Awesome (:
I just discovered your channel and I absolutely love it. I’m 22, going through a serious rough part for a few years now in my life. I’m also Christian and I know the Lord has not and will never leave me, but sometimes I just want the pain to all end. I’ve considered things I shouldn’t. I started cleaning around the house and declutter it my closet while listening to your videos and, honestly, I believe the Lord used you to give me much hope, peace, and motivation. I’ve subscribed to your channel and really hope to keep watching your videos. Thank you 💜
CAN I JUST SPEAK FOR ALL OF US
Sarah,
We would LOVE a podcast 💕
#sarahspeaks
Adagio Borntrager yes plzzzzzz!!!!
YES WE WOULD!
I also closing my eyes and imagining that I’m listening to a podcast. ✨
yes please! that'd be delightful.
YES WE WANT A PODCAST!
Also, your background in this video is Golden. So pretty and calming!
“I love everything that the new year brings”..... not so much anymore right? Haha
I am enjoying this time so so much haha you should too
I was ready to write the EXACT same thing hahaaha
Too soon
I know! I think many of us didn't know what it was coming our way. 😳
Lolol
I'm always amazed how it all looks easy when you talk about it or do it-being a mother of three, being a wonderful wife, practising Bible in everyday life...I enjoy watching yout videos and always feel better after doing it. Thank you for every advice you give and for the great energy you provide us with. God bless you and your family, wish you all the best in 2020!
In 2019 I figured out what was wrong with me 😆. I stopped eating breads/wheats on a daily basis (all in moderation now), and I took cows milk out of my diet. In no time my skin cleared up, no more acne or swelling redness, and no more bloating! What a change !
Your videos keep getting better and better!! You are going to hit 1 million subs in 2020 for sure!!! 👍👍👍
I'm Peruvian. I found your yt channel a few days ago, and so far I've seen so many of your videos, and I find them so inspiring and admirable. I'm trying to watch all the videos I can in order to grow up as a person, and also to become a minimalist (I need it urgently, need to declutter asap). I feel like I'm learning so much from you. Thank you for existing. I love your personality and your videos. Many blessings for you and your family!
Hola muchacha! 😃 Hope you're feeling better.
You know what? every time I see one of your videos, you make me feel better, like more positive and happy and grateful. You have that "power" on us, I know that a lot of people will agree with me.
I just want to thank you for taking the time and share with us all the things that you mentioned.
Those are the things that I needed to hear to pushed me and be a better person and the best version of me 😉
Wish you only the best this new year and all your life, because you deserve it and blessings for you and your family 🙏 🤗
When you started to talking about being debt-free and financial freedom, I thought " she sounds like Dave Ramsey" and then you said Dave Ramsey and I laughed so loud. My fiance and I listen to his podcast together. So happy that you like him too
Dedication & discipline over motivation 🙌🏻
Peppermint tea with honey.
I 2nd your habit of going to bed and waking up early. I got a dog in May of last year, and he wakes up naturally between 7 and 7:30, which was way earlier than I was alone. We both adjusted to wake up around 7:15 together and get out for a morning walk. We go to bed when the sun goes down, which changes through the year. I feel so accomplished and energized, and I really enjoy that my body’s natural clock is timed to the daylight cycle. It feels so good to go to bed early and get enough sleep.
I have literally just discovered you and I already love you! You are an amazing human being and are doing a great job for the entire humanity by spreading all this information that makes the content of your videos. I really have a lot to learn from you and I thank you for that. I wish you a peaceful life, full of love and meaning!
The last thing I drank was your green smothie! It makes me feel so good after I have it is CRAZY!!! It is reallly just AMAZING!!!
Your so motivational, and really make me feel happier and more motivated!
Isla Ever makes:)
I just want to say that I decided to watch this video on a whim and it literally put me in the best head space to deal with what's going on with me right now.
Thank you Sarah, for deciding to share your wisdom :) you reminded me what life is really all about, in good times and bad times.
I am reminded to stay positive and calm and trust in my abilities, as well as in my partner's. To help lift people's spirits and my own, instead of focusing on all that is going imperfectly. To decide to keep my faith that things will work out even though it's hard ❤
And most importantly, you reminded me that no one is perfect, even myself, and that that's okay. I have the ability to right the wrongs in my life as best I can, and to forgive those I love who have done something wrong. Because at the end of the day nothing really that horrible has happened and I still have a lot to be grateful for :)
Why are you so amazing? Every time my anxiety takes a stab at me, your videos always seems to ease whatever crappy feelings are going through me! Thank you!
Happy Nee Year ❤️
Oh! And today I started my day with a cup of orange tea. Then water. Then French pressed coffee. Then water. Then earl gray tea. Then water. Then almond eggnog. 💜💜💜
Love this! Thank you for the motivation. I last drank coffee. ☕
Love this Sarah!! For sure implementing a few of these in my life this year. Also related SO much to how we need to focus on Christ when we are feeling down.
I love that you talked about health and what you went through in 2019. I also struggled with intense hormonal acne and pain with my back and just feeling so awful. I started going to a chiropractor in August and taking organic whole food supplements at his direction. So far I'm feeling so much better, my hormones are being balanced, and I'm seeing the root of why I was feeling that way: stress and anxiety. All by the grace of the Lord, I am learning to trust and let go. It's really crazy how everything is connected with our bodies. That's how we were made.
Thank you Sarah! May He continue to bless you and your family in 2020! ❤
Don’t settle with depression! I struggled big time, and finally got off my booty and went to the Holistic Doctor, and found I was majorly deficient in many nutrients and my hormones were off balance. There is hope ladies!🙏🏼💞
"i love the new year"
6 months and 20 disasters later, in quarantine: aha ha haha
I feel like this is a video I’ll need to watch several times this year as a reminder of all the good advice
In 2019, I wanted to invest in my hobby sewing. I was able to sew a dress, Fanny pack, etc. it is crazy how much you realize can do until you start to put time and feel more passionate towards a certain hobby.
This 2020, I hope to come out with a swimwear line. I have been practicing creating certain swimwear tops.
Anyone wondering about routines, I have tips to start:
Try an order of things that u need to get done and if u like the order than continue it everyday
If not than find what is most important to u and figure out the order and timing of the things that u need to get done
“Christmas crack” is what I’m drinking. It’s a spiced mocha coffee mix that I make every year
Whats in it?! I need to know
I have depression. You are 100% accurate in saying we need to surround ourselves in positivity. God tells us to think about whatever is true, pure , admirable , etc and to dwell on those things and peace will be with us. Love you and your videos. I’m drinking water right before bed!
I’ve just finished my first coffee for the day, and I’m now onto my first bottle of water (my Tupperware 1L bottle refilled from the tap, not bottled water 💧)
Absolutely loving your videos and have been binge watching them this weekend.
liking the vid before watching it cause ik it’ll be another quality content 👌👌
Happy 2020 from Russia. You're such a blessing🕊️💓
Philippians 4- Be anxious about nothing but in everything give thanks Let your request be made known to God, but the peace God which surpasses all understanding and guard your hearts and your minds. Thank you for the reminder to look for the positive😀💕. So many good habits here!
i have been binge watching your channel lately. and you have really inspired to be more minimal and to really dive into my faith and be in the scripture and to love the lord even more. happy 2020!
Sarah I am a Christian and I have to tell you after a 6 year battle with Depression- being told going toward the lord to help with it, or to make it better...NO. I watch videos about depression because they remind me I am not alone in this battle. Sorry if you don't understand that
@@susannovak8263 I have battled it most of my adult life but the last 6 years have been hell on Earth. To have someone say turn to the lord, let the evil fall away. If I could pray away depression it would have been gone 25 years ago along with all my other health issues!!
Everyone: the new year is so exciting! Its time for a new year and a fresh start.
Corona virus: *NOPE*
Hi Sarah! Been watching your videos about a year now and I got to say that they just keep on getting better every time - content-wise, the editing, the positivity! :) Love love love what you're doing.
So glad I found your videos! Your positivity is contagious and it’s so awesome to hear your honest remarks. I’ve watched a few as I’m getting some work done this afternoon. While I don’t share your faith, I really enjoyed your remarks on sharing with others and having a servants heart. That, and having a schedule- it absolutely resinates with me. Hearing from another young wife (with a life!) legit is awesome. Thank you for putting this together and for sharing. I look forward to future videos.
I last drank water. Boring but nothing quenches the thirst like water
She’s clearly never battled with depression and anxiety because if she had she would never have this cavalier attitude towards it. I appreciate her positivity but 99% of the time, its not that easy.
@Monica Soto I agree I have struggled with severe anxiety depression and I understand now that i used feed it with what I surrounded myself with.
@Monica Soto I don't want to be mean but your God did not do the best but your husband did. Thank him.
@@catty90at everything comes from God. God gives good things to his children. This includes her healthy husband who is able to work full time and take a 2nd job.
I have depression ,anxiety and panic attacks. Although it’s hard,but I’ll keep this in my mind and tried working on it. Not easy but at least I did take that first step to do it
Totally agree. It's the epitome of telling a depressed person to just snap out of it - it's dismissive and invalidating. Clinical depression doesn't work that way. Perhaps she didn't mean it that way, but regardless I do agree with other commenters on here that if she's never struggled with the issue nor practices/studies it then she should not speak on it so ignorantly. I feel like she's just discussing sadness, and doesn't actually understand the distinction between sadness and depression. 🤦♀️
I love this! I think I need to save this and watch it again and again, especially later in the year. Thank you Sarah ❤️
I’ve practiced intentionally using my phone and it’s been amazing! I used to be insanely addicted to it, and I think between college in general and a busy life i finally stopped using it as much. it’s crazy how many times people are together spending time and yet just staring at a screen
I went through and deleted all my subscriptions that didn't benefit me positively. You were one of the only ones left. Thank you!
I have my A-levels soon and I'm going to start uni in fall, so I'm very excited for the year. :)
Best of luck for both! X
Thaaaaank you
I have to be honest ... I NEVER have motivation at the start of the New Year... it is always extremely hot at this time every year. It has been 42+ degrees Celsius (107+F) where i live in Australia for the last 2 weeks and soooo this has always been my time to relax and take it easy... Come back to me in the first week of February and i can guarantee that i will be motivated to crush life again. :)
I love this video, thank you, Sarah. Side note; the background is so light, airy, clean, organized, and feels so refreshing.
Having a physical book actually gives me anxiety. Seeing how much I’ve read and how much I have left just makes me want to give up or keep reading. I don’t know why 😂 so I Kindle is the way for me! No need to see how much I have left and I can actually enjoy the book!
DISCIPLINE baby! That’s where it’s at!
Thank you again Sarah, for some quality content and your beautiful personality 💕
Thankyou sarah for sharing . When im getting depressed I know whats going down so I put on some toby mac and start worshipping the Lord.
First two minutes of this video are absolutely golden!!
This is what makes you different than other youtubers, and why you're the one I watch!
Happy new year! I'd love to see more family vlog cuts with Kieran and the Kids playing somewhere or on a small trip/walk in the woods... :)
You had me until you started to tell people that if they are depressed that they should just pretty much stop being depressed. Depression is not a choice. You have obviously never had to personally deal with depression or anxiety. I am talking about REAL, deep, depression. Not just oh..it’s a bad week I am feeling down depression. Also what you say about having debt and just choosing to work on that debt really comes from a place of great privilege. You had some good points and suggestions but your bad ones, your naive ones, really detracted from your good message.
Agreed! I know Sarah comes from a good place but I wish she wouldn’t talk about certain things that she doesn’t know or understand.
Rewatch that segment where she mentions depression and sadness. What I received from that is that she knows it’s a real thing and she feels for anyone going through it, but try not to stay in that place. Surround yourself with positivity and know that you CAN overcome it. Keep your heads up!
Shawnee Summerson the thing is that it’s not as easy as “not staying in that place”. I know she is coming from a good place but she doesn’t fully understand and saying to someone with depression to “focus on the good” or “don’t stay in that place”, that really hurts rather than helps. Also, talking with others who feel the same way and understand what your going through is very beneficial which she suggested isn’t a good idea so I think she just shouldn’t talk about certain things she doesn’t understand.
Saying “don’t stay in that place” implies it’s the persons fault for still being there. It implies they have the power to change and they just aren’t doing it. I know that personally when I’m there it’s most often for no reason at all and I crushed that it’s happened again. There’s nothing I did to put myself there, and there’s nothing I can do to take myself out of there. I agree that those comments aren’t helpful in a real sense.
I could be very wrong here, because I am NOT Sarah. But, it felt more like she was saying don't feel so stuck in a rut because it is so common. Don't get to a point where all you do is surround yourself with others that are down and negative (different than talking to people about your feelings and being relatable and validated). And telling us to focus on the good, is not wrong or naive. It is greatly beneficial. It may not be what drives one out of depression, but it is a great reminder, when in the thick of it, things can be brighter and better ahead. I don't think she believes that anyone purposefully becomes or stays depressed. It seems more like she is worried that if too many people "normalize" (really poor choice of words.. maybe more like "promote depression as an identifier"), it will lead to people drowning in the depression far longer than if they were able to remind themselves that it IS possible to come out on the other side. Rather than JUST finding a group of people that know how you feel and can make you feel less alone, find the thing that really breaks through that depression. Beit, medication, therapy, support groups, vacation, quitting a job, etc. Just don't get caught up in depressing surroundings.
Discipline over motivation! Thanks for teaching me that line over a year ago Sarah! Such an important truth
“Start talking when it makes the most sense and is most respectful for the other person” woah, I really needed that! I also struggle with one-on-one conversations when it comes to the balance of talking and listening. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I had a really hard time and a heavy heart recently. I need this video. Love you and your family. Have a happy 2020. Godbless ❤️
Yes! work on being debt free. I found Dave Ramsey 6 months ago. I've been able to pay $4300 to my debt on a very small budget.

You are so uplifting, helpful, and inspirational. Thank you for your videos. I'm a newlywed and both my husband and I are trying to make our lives more organized and simple as we work toward starting a home business and just navigate life in general. Your videos have been very helpful.
This video is so inspiring and filled with so much positivity. Im muslim myself and literally every single point you talked about, has been stated in islam. I really appreciate how you respect what you have been given and not taking anything for granted whilst also living a simple, loving and purposeful life that brings you genuine happiness. We could all learn one or two of these things if not all because all of them are so beneficial to us mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. ❤️ Wishing you and your family all the happiness.
I always tell people to just make your bed when you first wake up. It sets the tone for the rest of the day =)
As soon as I see your name it makes my day!!
The “focus on the good” made me subscribe. You are amazing ❤️
This is an amazing video! I especially love; real books and NOT KINDLE OR AUDIBLE, putting OTHERS FIRST and when depressed, don't surround yourself or delve even DEEPER into it! 100%. A real book can never be replaced. This world is so full of everyone thinking of only themselves, we need to start thinking about others again/more. And when I was depressed and anxious I was on this group for people with anxiety, and reading those things every day made me spiral down that path SO much more. I had to delete the group and find my way out of the depression and anxiety and it was so much easier without watching videos or reading about it constantly!!!!!!
Thank you so much for this video.
I love your videos, and I understand what you’re saying, but people in the dark, depths of depression cannot see the light. No matter how many times you tell them. Please be very careful when talking about mental health.

Me: *eating another spoonful of cookie dough*
For someone who had faced trauma that leads to depression and anxiety, it is extremely isolating, and it is comforting to find others who have similar experiences. You feel a disconnect from “normal” people, and surrounding yourself with positivity actually has the opposite effect and leads to feelings of more loneliness and separation. However, I like some of the other tips and still found this a neat video!
I really appreciate what you said about accepting things that we cannot change. I've made mistakes and they still haunt and it's hard to accept them but your not wrong, they feel heavy and I hope I can also come to accept them.
