My thing is not trying to physically be perfect, but I have this image in my mind of EXACTLY who I want to be, and when I'm not that person I end up hating myself for it. It will take some time, but I'm trying to accept the fact that that is not me and that's OKAY!
OMG thats the reason why i am such a shy person, because i think i am going to say something stupid, or people dont care what i say, or i am going to be boring and blablabla... And i dont show who i am in reality. I will try to let it go and be more me. Thank you for your all the things you do for us, Cassey, it really means a lot to me.
There are so many people who feel the same way and I do too, at times. What helped me come out of my shell was to look at it from the other perspective. If someone said something stupid, do you hate that person or do you don't care and find it funny and laugh about it with them? Everyone make "stupid" comments every now and again and it's perfectly fine. Besides, talking with people is a learned skill and the more you practice with people the better you will get, just learn to be kind to yourself while you try. You will get there. :)
So true! I have always been very shy and anxious talking to other people because I'm always worried other people might be annoyed or bored by me..but somehow it makes me sad because I just want to be myself and more self-confident..Thank you Cassie for giving us inspiration and courage :)
I agree with everything that you said, when I brought myself from 115 to 90lbs I thought I was gonna be happy and popular and people would like me, but it brought the opposite, I was miserable and it took to where I am today to love me for me. I still have my challenges, but one day I hope for me and all the other popsters to find the best versions of ourself and be happy being confident and beautiful
Totally needed this, had a really bad body image day today.. I remember back when I was deep in my ed, I was so thin, had a "defined stomach", a thigh gap, but guess what? I was miserable. I was so unhappy, thinking I needed to love more weight. The only thing I thought about was what I was going to eat, how I would get my workout in for the day. I wasnt happy. I wasnt living. So please focus on the important parts of life guys. Life isnt about that sixpack. Be happy, be healthy (healthy doesn't have anything to do with looks) and just live ypur life, have fun ❤
This was exactly what I needed, thanks Cassey! I am such a perfectionist and procrastinate so much because I am TERRIFIED of being anything less than perfect. I've become really negative and slipped into bad habits recently, spending days in bed avoiding things I need to do. This is the motivation I need to push past the fear and just do! Thank you x
Wow this is such a refresher. I really love tip #3. i'm always afraid of failing and it just causes nothing but anxiety and actually getting nothing done! thanx for this video^^
I had to accept that not shaving my armpits helped me be the happiest version of me possible! It isn't normal in society but it is normal for me :) Thanks for helping me accept myself and be positive!!
once ranted to an internet stranger about school stress and she dropped some straight wisdom I still remember today: "if you have to choose between overworking yourself and stressing and breaking down for an A or taking some time for yourself and getting a B, TAKE THE B and enjoy your life."
I completely agree with this! I am so much happier in myself now when I am 10kg heavier than when I was restricting. I am much more confident in my curves then when I was striving for something that wasn't sustainable or healthy. Thanks for the pep talk Cassie xx
Thank you Cassey for making this video! I am such a perfectionist and it can really affect my health and sleeping pattern. This has shown me to relax and sometimes its okay to fail
I've been having the worst anxiety this past week and had a crazy panic attack while driving, so you have no idea how much I needed this video! Love you cassey xx
I've been told many times to stop being focused on others in general and prioritize my happiness. I really didn't conceive it, I used to fear selfishness this way but now that hate struck me because I was deeply in love with someone who doesn't care at all and keep on hurting me during months and months using my feelings in some ways, I totally think I MUST let go. To care a lot for others until you forget about yourself and losing it, it's definitively WRONG, especially if you just receive disregard and pain in return.
Omg Cassey I love you soooooooooo much! You seriously transformed my life from day 1 and changed me into the person I am today. Thanks for being yourself and reaching out to women all around the world. Please never change! Love you
I love these kinda videos I think when you stop thinking about how perfect you want to be, you start becoming the real kind of perfect because you're happy and healthy 💕
It's actually a little funny, I was just thinking about being "stagnant" and the negative effects it has on the body. You further expressed my thoughts and opened my eyes to other things. Cassey, thank you for making this video. You help connect so many people with your positive messages and encouragement. God bless you!
This is why you are an amazing person i really love how you approach life and you are setting an amazing example for people especially young girls love you cassey
Even though I love watching Cassie's videos, at first when I saw the title I was like 'not another cliché pep talk' but I'm glad I clicked on it cause it's one of the best talks I've ever watched...❤️❤️❤️
I started my fitness journey one year ago and I learnt so much things.. throught mistakes and attempt..but your body knows everything better than anyone, any book or science rule. when you really listen to it you can achieve your goals! perfection mith can bring you down.. but you have to stay up by improving yourself day by day! one step At the time ;)
This has to be one of the most relatable videos I have ever watched! I have struggled with severe perfectionism my whole life, leading to depression and needing therapy. However, watching this 8 minute video has helped me so much more than the hundreds of hours of therapy I have attended over the last few years! I know it will take me a while to get over this, but being able to play this video when I feel like giving up on exercise or my academia because I'm not achieving perfection gives me so much reassurance. Thank you so much for making this video and continuing to be such an inspiration :) x
Totally agree hun. I was just thinking about this the other day. Skinny isn't the answer, strength is. It took me 15 years to realize that. I'm 33 and finally loving my body. I'm not thin, but strong. 💖
i used to be a perfectionist! been trying to find the right balance for 3 years. im getting there. thank you for this video. my sister in law told me this " focus on a few really important things in life and everything else will fall into place!"
I think it's all about accepting ourselves. Once we are in good terms with who we are, we're free of the obsession of being perfect. We just have to be ourselves and worrying about being/doing the best we can be/do BUT don't let the pressure consume you. We all make mistakes, that's a part of life ♥
This video has made me feel so much better about myself. Cassey is the only fitness instructor that doesn't strive for perfection. She just gets it :) love you Cassey
Thanks for this video, Cassey! It's kind of funny that this was posted today, because just last night my boyfriend told me that even though I'm not the thinnest I have ever been, he likes where I am because it's healthier mentally and even physically. I definitely struggle with the idea of "being perfect" when I look at how my body was in the past, or how much thinner I used to be, etc... but I just need to realize that having balance is just as important as setting goals and working hard. :)
Cassey being a sensitive person .. (like she said that perfect body video makes me cry everytime) and getting off by negative comments.. amazes me every time.. Her job is not easy... having a fit body like that...living with a smile on face.... .. motivating thousands of people... and then facing negativity now and then.. I must say you are not only strong body wise.. but a very strong soul... blessed you are by giving this strength to your popster.. thanks for letting us change our lives.. love you
Cassey, just wanted to let you know this motivated me alot.. im trying to be perfect all the time and tend to stress over the tiniest ( food) mistakes, and gaining weight even though its not realistic at all and not even unhealthy and we are humans not robots indeed! ty so much
Everything you said is so true! Sometimes it takes a lot of digging inside and reflecting to figure out whether you want to stay on the path that you are on. It's also really hard to quit what makes you unhappy sometimes. But, if you pay attention to yourself, you follow your dreams, and you don't obsess over perfection in life, then you'll be ok. I think we will be ok :) love you Cassie!
I needed this; at the exact moment, I saw this in my email. Thank you, Cassey for the advice. My heartbeat slowed down and I felt rooted again and remembered my success is only based on if I'M happy. I have a few things to work on, but at this very moment, I choose to be happy. Thank you for your kind words and motivation. Here's to a new day!
Cassey I love the way you are talking with us, like we are your close friends and with so much love and happines.... It's just beautiful! You are not like other fitness instructors on UA-cam in that, and in so many good ways :)
thank you for this video cassey. I'm currently on a weight loss journey. used to be 149 lbs at my heaviest, now I'm down to 120, but the last 5 lbs are so hard to lose... I'm always focusing on numbers, the scale, etc, and I'm always overwhelmed and feel so unhappy. hopefully I can learn to be a little more less harsh on myself.
Thankyou so much Cassey... I am not, nor have ever been, skinny and I have always thought that people were constantly judging me for it. I have always compared myself to other girls and thought that I am worthless because I am not skinny but you are a huge inspiration and you help me see that there is no such thing as perfect so thank you so much
I definitely loved this video! I have been a perfectionist for as long as I can remember, but have been working on reducing the stress that it causes me for the past few years. My favourite thing to do is to remember that there is no such thing as "perfect" so why strive for something that doesn't really exist. I do have anxiety when it comes to being wrong, but I have slowly been able to realize that it's not the end of the world to not know something.
Thank you Cassey for this boosting and refreshing video, I can totally relate to that bcz I always seek perfection which always lead me to feel miserable and sad, instead now I'm focusing at getting better in my life rather than look what is the top and best thing in every little things, for example I always want an acne free and healthy face, lifted and sexy body, best clothes, best job, expensive car and phone, a perfect house, amazing friends, perfect personality, perfect speech .... litteraly I want everything to be perfect, now I'm happy to say that I care less for that and enjoying life by maintaining a routine for everything I listed but I don't freak out or get miserable if an acne scar lasted 2 weeks to go or if new acne show up, sometimes you should accept it like the way it is. but I'm still struggling for saying no to others bcz I love helping people but it shouldn't be over your own time and happiness
Cassey, your timing's just perfect!! For the past year I've been trying to finish my design thesis and I've been through so many ups and downs... Sometimes I get so frustrated I stop working for days, so your point about perfectionism leading to procrastination makes perfect sense to me... With the deadline for my presentation coming up, this video is the kick in the back I needed right now!! Thank you so much for being such an inspiration and also for creating these workouts for us!!
I don't know if you're gonna see this but the first time I started to try to be heathly, when i was doing workout, i was like " if i lose weight, i lose weight. If I gain weight, i gain weight " And you know what happenned ? I lost weight and I'm stronger because i've just listen my body and I think the fact that i started by listenning my body gave me more confidence and more motivation to do workout everyday ! Doing your video is always a pleasure. THANK YOU SO MUCH ! Without you, I just wouldn't be here. ♥
LOVE THESE videos. They seem so genuine to me and motivating. I've been struggling because of many things past months but they're not fitness related anyway, I love to excercise regularly. I know you're a fitness person but I'd appreciate if you do these videos even more in general, or touch different topics ... not so related to excercising and weight loss etc. :) Just my humble opinion. I believe you're inspirational in sooo many ways.
And this is why I love your videos I am such a perfectionist with my videos, the songs I write, with my acting. I need to seriously take your advice. Sometimes I have to realize that our imperfections make us perfect and it's okay not to be perfect
I just started crying while watching this video... it doesn't mean that it made something bad to me, rather what I have made to myself! I was so bad for myself, I knew that, but now I understand the point, from the top to the bottom! Thank you so much Cassey! I will try to be the best myself as I can, but without this whole guiltiness, toxic perfectionsm... It's normal to me, to not to do something, because I feel I will fail, I concentrate on the negative stuff that much I can't do anything... and it leads to anexiety! I will try to be happy! :)Thank you, Cassey! :)
this video has helped me so much. i spent the morning crying and i feel at ease watching this. i put too much effort trying to eat perfect and follow blogilates everyday but i cant. i get so sidetracked but as long as im trying im making progress right.
Thank you Cassey for inspiring everyday. You are so right. You can have the happiest life ever no matter what you look like. It's not about ho small person. But I still thow you look but about how you feel. About two years ago I decided to lose weight. I don't know why because I was not overweight at all. But I ate super healthy, counted Calories and trained insane. In this time I was under 90 lbs and I'm not a small person. But I still thought I was fat. In this time I was always unhappy and unfriendly even to my best friends, my family and my boyfriend. I only focused on my weight and didn't care about the other beautiful things in life. Now I'm 110 lbs what is still so skinny (I'm pretty tall) and I feel so much better. I eat healthy but as much as I want because I want to gain muscles again. I never count calories and when I'm craving for tacos, Pizza, fries, cake and ice cream I just Eat it without any kind of guilt. I got all my self confidence back and I think my life is perfect now, even if I'm not the skinniest or don't have a sixpack or something like that.
Man, I hate how I hit almost every point you mention. I struggle with this some days, and other days it's easier. It also helps when my husband is kind of the opposite of me and can go with the flow (and knows how to say no). I try to learn from him but listening to you talk about is just such a great reminder. Thanks for all you do Cassey! Keep rocking it ❤ Idk if you've ever seen the movie "Meet the Robinsons" it's all about growing from your mistakes and learning how to embrace them in a way. Very deep meaning behind a kids movie,lol. I love it!! Their tag line = Keep Moving Forward.
IM CRYING. I love this video so much. I'm honestly so happy now and I'm barely even in the video. This speaks to me so much and I believe this will help my best friend and I. I STARTED TO feel like I suck at cheer but this gave me a boost of confidence. 💖
you actually have been an inspiration in my fitness journey 😊 use to think my weight on the scale was alk that matter..well NOT ANYMORE! now i strive to feel energize, to feel strong and look strong, and most importantly i feel confident about ME. Thank yoh so so much Cassey! 💕💕💕🍁
The only thing stopping me from breakin down and cryin in a tight ball is the fact that I'm emotionally dead... This video and your workouts really helped me calm down, thank you so much Cassey... ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thanks Cassey, seriously. It's like 3 in the morning and I've been awake just thinking about life and worrying about failing in my major. And even though it's not workout related, this video did help me relax and give me some motivation for what's to come. Thanks for reminding me it's okay to fail and that failing sometimes is just part of human nature, definitely gonna come back to this whenever I need it ^_^ Cheers~!
I can't get over how beautiful your hands are! All of your gestures are so elegant! I got a bit distracted by that, oops! Thank you for being such an inspiration, these are great things to keep in mind when I'm stressing out about making a mistake or something at work.
I love this Cassey! :( You inspire not only me but a bunch of other people who are faithful to your channel! Please continue to spread your positive energy, and know that you're changing lives of people for the better
I didn't even realise I was a perfectionist until I heard #4. I'm going to make it my goal to "just say no" as the feeling of being taken advantage of is not a good one. Thanks for sharing!
I'm so relieved to see that I'm not alone. :( Perfectionism is such a complicated thing because people appreciate how well I do things but sometimes it's just a bit too much for me and I wouldn't have to do things "so perfectly".
The worst thing with perfection is when you are so worried about the work that you are doing to turn out perfect that you end up not enjoying the process of doing the job.
Thank you so much for sharing this message, Cassey! It was really timely for the phase of life I'm in right now. I am feeling the agony of being stagnant at the moment and I've been questioning why am I feeling so lost and purposeless. But your video helped shed light on my situation and I'm motivated to do take control over my life. If I don't plan my life, someone else will. And what's the likelihood that they'll have the best in store for me, right? Hehe, long time fan of yours, first time commenter. Keep going at it, girl!!!
This is amazing! Normally the people who do this just do it to be "inspirational". You are so much more real and I love it! Love you Cassie❤️❤️❤️ from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺
THANK YOU! I really needed this because I'm trying to hand in a lot of assessments this week and I'm freaking because it's not perfect. Thank you again xx
Thank you so much for this video cassey!! I'm such a perfectionist and am trying but to overcome my bad habits, so this video has come at the best time x
I love my body, so I work hard to improve it, My body improves to show it loves me, Hard work and hate will get you nowhere, Effort and love is the the key!
I absolutely admire everything you are saying it is such a valuable lesson everyone needs to learn! Cassey, blogilates gives me life and happiness, I look forward everyday to working out or watching these videos or even talking to new people about it! The one thing I did want to say was the, the one thing I absolutely love about myself is my easy breezy personality and I'm so grateful you mentioned it and its benefits! THANK YOU
The difference between her and other trainers is mainly that she relates waaayy more and always talks to us like a real person with real problems...Not saying the others are bad, but she truly is my favourite because of her nature..
Oh my! Just the thing I wanted to hear :) Literally been under so much anxiety perfecting everything that haven't been able to complete anything. Time to let go :) You are the best!
this is so true! I dance so I've just accepted that I'm never going to have tiny legs but that fine cos my muscly legs keep me strong and mean I can dance the best I can
I loved this video! I absolutely agree that being healthy and strong is so much better to reach for than the current perfect society is trying to push down our throats. I am so happy I found your channel. Thank you 😊
you are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo freaking amazing cassey! your workouts and videos in general has helped me so much, thanks for showing me so many things and learning me so much about happiness and myself! i am so thankful for you, love you so much!!
This is so true, my friend always asks me: What's the worst that can happen if you do not do something/be somebody? Honestly, life just goes on. It makes me put less pressure on myself and enjoy life more, because seriously, what's the worst that can happen??
I agree with you totally, even when I weighed less, I still wasn't happy, it's all a mindset!
I feel like I'm going thru this now, Cassey is so inspiratonal
Same, i'm at my skinniest rn but i still feel like i'm not good enough tbh
My thing is not trying to physically be perfect, but I have this image in my mind of EXACTLY who I want to be, and when I'm not that person I end up hating myself for it. It will take some time, but I'm trying to accept the fact that that is not me and that's OKAY!
Katie Franken omg I can relate so hard😂😩
OMG thats the reason why i am such a shy person, because i think i am going to say something stupid, or people dont care what i say, or i am going to be boring and blablabla... And i dont show who i am in reality. I will try to let it go and be more me. Thank you for your all the things you do for us, Cassey, it really means a lot to me.

Yea, don't be afraid to speak up! You'll be just fine!
I agree with everything that you said, when I brought myself from 115 to 90lbs I thought I was gonna be happy and popular and people would like me, but it brought the opposite, I was miserable and it took to where I am today to love me for me.

Cassey is Bae
This new comment section is not...
She really is.
Totally needed this, had a really bad body image day today.. I remember back when I was deep in my ed, I was so thin, had a "defined stomach", a thigh gap, but guess what? I was miserable. I was so unhappy, thinking I needed to love more weight.
The only thing I thought about was what I was going to eat, how I would get my workout in for the day. I wasnt happy. I wasnt living.
So please focus on the important parts of life guys. Life isnt about that sixpack. Be happy, be healthy (healthy doesn't have anything to do with looks) and just live ypur life, have fun ❤
Just like my mom always used to tell me, "Only people that try can make mistakes."
I love this! Thanks so much
I love this video, especially when you talked about saying no. I know I tend to be a total people pleaser and have a hard time saying no.
I'm still working on this!
We need more videos like this on UA-cam! Love everything you touched on, imperfection is beautiful!!❤️
This was exactly what I needed, thanks Cassey! I am such a perfectionist and procrastinate so much because I am TERRIFIED of being anything less than perfect. I've become really negative and slipped into bad habits recently, spending days in bed avoiding things I need to do. This is the motivation I need to push past the fear and just do! Thank you x
Seriously when you accept yourself it is easier to understand other people too :) Thank you Cassey, such an inspiration for all of us!
Wow this is such a refresher.
I really love tip #3. i'm always afraid of failing and it just causes nothing but anxiety and actually getting nothing done!
thanx for this video^^
Same😏
Cassey Ho: best and most inspirational instructor ever.
I had to accept that not shaving my armpits helped me be the happiest version of me possible! It isn't normal in society but it is normal for me :) Thanks for helping me accept myself and be positive!!
once ranted to an internet stranger about school stress and she dropped some straight wisdom I still remember today:
"if you have to choose between overworking yourself and stressing and breaking down for an A or taking some time for yourself and getting a B, TAKE THE B and enjoy your life."

Thank you Cassey for making this video! I am such a perfectionist and it can really affect my health and sleeping pattern. This has shown me to relax and sometimes its okay to fail
Yup! Don't let perfectionism affect your health!
My perfectionist ass thought this said "How to be perfect and enjoy life"
ikr.
Lol!
same here
Elise Abell I did to😂
I've been having the worst anxiety this past week and had a crazy panic attack while driving, so you have no idea how much I needed this video! Love you cassey xx

I love these kinda videos I think when you stop thinking about how perfect you want to be, you start becoming the real kind of perfect because you're happy and healthy 💕

Aw, love you, Cassey. As an older woman, I so appreciate the message you're putting out there for young women. Kudos!
Totally agree hun. I was just thinking about this the other day. Skinny isn't the answer, strength is.
It took me 15 years to realize that. I'm 33 and finally loving my body. I'm not thin, but strong. 💖

One thing to help is don't compare yourself to others we are all different and you should love your self
Thankyou so much Cassey... I am not, nor have ever been, skinny and I have always thought that people were constantly judging me for it. I have always compared myself to other girls and thought that I am worthless because I am not skinny but you are a huge inspiration and you help me see that there is no such thing as perfect so thank you so much

Thank you Cassey for this boosting and refreshing video, I can totally relate to that bcz I always seek perfection which always lead me to feel miserable and sad, instead now I'm focusing at getting better in my life rather than look what is the top and best thing in every little things, for example I always want an acne free and healthy face, lifted and sexy body, best clothes, best job, expensive car and phone, a perfect house, amazing friends, perfect personality, perfect speech .... litteraly I want everything to be perfect, now I'm happy to say that I care less for that and enjoying life by maintaining a routine for everything I listed but I don't freak out or get miserable if an acne scar lasted 2 weeks to go or if new acne show up, sometimes you should accept it like the way it is. but I'm still struggling for saying no to others bcz I love helping people but it shouldn't be over your own time and happiness
Cassey, your timing's just perfect!! For the past year I've been trying to finish my design thesis and I've been through so many ups and downs... Sometimes I get so frustrated I stop working for days, so your point about perfectionism leading to procrastination makes perfect sense to me... With the deadline for my presentation coming up, this video is the kick in the back I needed right now!! Thank you so much for being such an inspiration and also for creating these workouts for us!!
I don't know if you're gonna see this but the first time I started to try to be heathly, when i was doing workout, i was like " if i lose weight, i lose weight. If I gain weight, i gain weight " And you know what happenned ? I lost weight and I'm stronger because i've just listen my body and I think the fact that i started by listenning my body gave me more confidence and more motivation to do workout everyday ! Doing your video is always a pleasure. THANK YOU SO MUCH ! Without you, I just wouldn't be here. ♥
LOVE THESE videos. They seem so genuine to me and motivating. I've been struggling because of many things past months but they're not fitness related anyway, I love to excercise regularly. I know you're a fitness person but I'd appreciate if you do these videos even more in general, or touch different topics ... not so related to excercising and weight loss etc. :) Just my humble opinion. I believe you're inspirational in sooo many ways.
And this is why I love your videos I am such a perfectionist with my videos, the songs I write, with my acting. I need to seriously take your advice. Sometimes I have to realize that our imperfections make us perfect and it's okay not to be perfect
*THIS VIDEO HELPED ME AND MADE ME WISER OMG*
Love this! You are such a beautiful person inside and out!!
I just started crying while watching this video... it doesn't mean that it made something bad to me, rather what I have made to myself! I was so bad for myself, I knew that, but now I understand the point, from the top to the bottom! Thank you so much Cassey! I will try to be the best myself as I can, but without this whole guiltiness, toxic perfectionsm... It's normal to me, to not to do something, because I feel I will fail, I concentrate on the negative stuff that much I can't do anything... and it leads to anexiety! I will try to be happy! :)Thank you, Cassey! :)
this video has helped me so much. i spent the morning crying and i feel at ease watching this. i put too much effort trying to eat perfect and follow blogilates everyday but i cant. i get so sidetracked but as long as im trying im making progress right.
Soooo well said! I made my 12 year old daughter sit down and watch this video with me. Great advice, Cassie! Love it!
Thank you Cassey for inspiring everyday. You are so right. You can have the happiest life ever no matter what you look like. It's not about ho small person. But I still thow you look but about how you feel. About two years ago I decided to lose weight. I don't know why because I was not overweight at all. But I ate super healthy, counted Calories and trained insane. In this time I was under 90 lbs and I'm not a small person. But I still thought I was fat. In this time I was always unhappy and unfriendly even to my best friends, my family and my boyfriend. I only focused on my weight and didn't care about the other beautiful things in life. Now I'm 110 lbs what is still so skinny (I'm pretty tall) and I feel so much better. I eat healthy but as much as I want because I want to gain muscles again. I never count calories and when I'm craving for tacos, Pizza, fries, cake and ice cream I just Eat it without any kind of guilt. I got all my self confidence back and I think my life is perfect now, even if I'm not the skinniest or don't have a sixpack or something like that.
She seriously is such a inspiring person, oh god
Man, I hate how I hit almost every point you mention. I struggle with this some days, and other days it's easier. It also helps when my husband is kind of the opposite of me and can go with the flow (and knows how to say no). I try to learn from him but listening to you talk about is just such a great reminder. Thanks for all you do Cassey! Keep rocking it ❤
Idk if you've ever seen the movie "Meet the Robinsons" it's all about growing from your mistakes and learning how to embrace them in a way. Very deep meaning behind a kids movie,lol. I love it!! Their tag line = Keep Moving Forward.
IM CRYING. I love this video so much. I'm honestly so happy now and I'm barely even in the video. This speaks to me so much and I believe this will help my best friend and I. I STARTED TO feel like I suck at cheer but this gave me a boost of confidence. 💖
you actually have been an inspiration in my fitness journey 😊 use to think my weight on the scale was alk that matter..well NOT ANYMORE! now i strive to feel energize, to feel strong and look strong, and most importantly i feel confident about ME. Thank yoh so so much Cassey! 💕💕💕🍁
This is what a role model looks like. Cassey you are amazing!
I actually started crying while you were talking about #5. Such a good and important video
The only thing stopping me from breakin down and cryin in a tight ball is the fact that I'm emotionally dead... This video and your workouts really helped me calm down, thank you so much Cassey... ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thanks Cassey, seriously. It's like 3 in the morning and I've been awake just thinking about life and worrying about failing in my major. And even though it's not workout related, this video did help me relax and give me some motivation for what's to come. Thanks for reminding me it's okay to fail and that failing sometimes is just part of human nature, definitely gonna come back to this whenever I need it ^_^ Cheers~!
Your the best Cassey! Love your workouts, love your cheap clean eats videos and when you open up and talk to us. You make me feel happy.
I can't get over how beautiful your hands are! All of your gestures are so elegant! I got a bit distracted by that, oops! Thank you for being such an inspiration, these are great things to keep in mind when I'm stressing out about making a mistake or something at work.
I love this Cassey! :( You inspire not only me but a bunch of other people who are faithful to your channel! Please continue to spread your positive energy, and know that you're changing lives of people for the better
I'm sitting here doing HW and thinking of college applications and the things i want to achieve, and this video has really helped me so much
I'm loving all these inspirational body positive videos you've been doing lately. They always brighten my day right up!💛
I didn't even realise I was a perfectionist until I heard #4. I'm going to make it my goal to "just say no" as the feeling of being taken advantage of is not a good one. Thanks for sharing!
A true perfectionist right here! Anyone else? 🙋🏼
✋
same here. Being a perfectionist sucks sometimes tbh.
Yes, and it is such a struggle sometimes :/
I'm so relieved to see that I'm not alone. :( Perfectionism is such a complicated thing because people appreciate how well I do things but sometimes it's just a bit too much for me and I wouldn't have to do things "so perfectly".
The worst thing with perfection is when you are so worried about the work that you are doing to turn out perfect that you end up not enjoying the process of doing the job.
Thank you Cassey for helping me making my life better!!!
CASSEY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I NEEDED TO HEAR THIS SO MUCH
Thank you so much for sharing this message, Cassey! It was really timely for the phase of life I'm in right now. I am feeling the agony of being stagnant at the moment and I've been questioning why am I feeling so lost and purposeless. But your video helped shed light on my situation and I'm motivated to do take control over my life. If I don't plan my life, someone else will. And what's the likelihood that they'll have the best in store for me, right?
Hehe, long time fan of yours, first time commenter. Keep going at it, girl!!!
I love these personal talk videos. Makes me feel so connected with Cassey and the whole POP pilates community. Keep doing you, guys!
This shows exactly why I love Cassey Ho! Thank you for making these videos. You inspire me. -Viola Greenwood, 2016 AAU National Golf Champion

Effort and love is the the key!
I absolutely admire everything you are saying it is such a valuable lesson everyone needs to learn! Cassey, blogilates gives me life and happiness, I look forward everyday to working out or watching these videos or even talking to new people about it! The one thing I did want to say was the, the one thing I absolutely love about myself is my easy breezy personality and I'm so grateful you mentioned it and its benefits! THANK YOU
The difference between her and other trainers is mainly that she relates waaayy more and always talks to us like a real person with real problems...Not saying the others are bad, but she truly is my favourite because of her nature..
Love your advice/talking videos! 💕

Completely off topic , but I LOVE that chair 👍🏻💕 xx
Literally my fave chair ever.
even the colour of her top fits that chair perfectly haha
This is so true, my friend always asks me: What's the worst that can happen if you do not do something/be somebody? Honestly, life just goes on. It makes me put less pressure on myself and enjoy life more, because seriously, what's the worst that can happen??
failing allows us to learn from our mistakes. Quote from The Lion King Broadway "the past can hurt, but you can either run from it or learn from it" 💛
