    I've totally had one of those days today. My period cramps woke me up at 6am and I knew it would be one of those days :/ I took it easy, went for a long walk in the sunshine and just caught up on UA-cam and played on the Sims for the rest of the day. THAT is self care!

    Thank you for talking about the difference in self care! I work
    In mental health and we often talk about the difference between self care and self soothing. Going to the dentist, setting boundaries at work and communicating with your partner are 100% self care tasks! It is caring for ourselves and our lives. Self soothing is also so important and can help us to process and deal with very difficult moments like doing a face mask, having a tea and going to the bookstore. Both are good. Different but both helpful in different ways. Thank you for talking about this!!!!

    I had one of these reset/self care days yesterday after a rubbish day the day before. My self care day included going to the gym (on a Sunday which I never usually do!), two lots of washing, some cleaning, cooking a good meal and lots of reading. Felt so much better afterwards

    This video couldn’t have came out at a better time!! Unfortunately, I got Covid again (round 2). And here we go again, laying in bed recovering watching your videos in quarantine. 😂 This time Covid has made me extremely nauseous. At this point in time, it’s so hard for me to watch other peoples videos because the way they vlog give me motion sickness. You have NO idea how much I appreciate the way you record your videos. Everything is still and not shaky but still beautifully atheistic and informative. 💕

    Aw your convo with your dad choked me up. My mom died in November very unexpectedly and my last convo with her was me blowing her off bc she wanted one of my recipes for thanksgiving and I didn’t want to stop what I was doing (work) long enough to tell her. Very good advice to catch up with family. Sometimes even the ones you aren’t to fond of. My mom and I weren’t always in the best terms and I always said it wouldn’t affect me when she passed and I was so very wrong.
    My night routine is the same lol we rewatch GOT every winter since we started dating. Tonight’s episode is the red wedding 🫣

    I went to the dentist this past week,too. Def was not looking forward to it. But I did remind myself it was self care. Sometimes, self care comes in the form of adulting and simply caring for your future self.

    I had the EXACT same dentist experience and I always cry in the chair now. It’s so important to find a dentist you’re comfortable with, I found it hasn’t ended my anxiety but it makes the awkwardness of my crying a little bit better 😅

    I didn't watch this vlog right away, mistakenly thinking it would be the "typical" influencer self-care vlog. WOW! This hit so hard for me. Avoidance is my go-to coping method and although I need it, llately I've even been avoiding therapy bc I feel rough after my sessions. This was the perfect nudge I needed to reframe my thinking and get back on track. Thank you Carter, hope you know how much I appreciate you. 🌿

    Our public library in Cincinnati,Ohio has a warehouse that is open to the public, the selection is massive, the prices are incredibly low. Maybe there is one by you that could aid you in savings on your books.

    • @CarterSullivan

      That's such a cool concept! Not sure if you're a newer subscriber but I actually rarely buy new books! Even when I do though it's something I am okay to spend on-guilt free as it's so beneficial for my mental health. I usually rent books on my Kobo or Kindle from the library! About 95% of my physical books I own I acquire from thrifting for $1-$2/each!

    OMG -- I am *TERRIFIED* of the dentist due to several traumatic dental experiences as a child. I need to go to the dentist but haven't found one that puts me at ease enough to regularly go and get some dental things taken care of. I loved a previous dentist that really helped me through a lot, but....omg.... I'm glad you didn't talk about it further! I would have turned your video off. 🤣

    I was disappointed in Game of Thrones & only watched a few episodes. I found it focusing on male characters with bare- breastfed women in the background & what amounted to sexual abuse of the only female lead.

    • @CarterSullivan
      @CarterSullivan  Рік тому

      I definitely think the show was quite sexist in the beginning- but it does get better. Keep in mind it's nearly impossible to write historical fiction-based fantasy that was not sexist, as mysogeny was part of the setting back then. Is it right? No. After watching the whole series I will say the best character arcs and strongest most badass characters are the female leads!
