Found your videos for the candid conversation about fragrances and issues in the community, stayed for the life advice (…and also for the fragrances lol). The “hell yes or hell no” concept got me into stoicism and really helped me change my habits both in my daily life and in my goals and relationships. Appreciate your perspective and I like the variety in content, makes it more exciting/enjoyable when you post!! 🙏🏻
thanks for the vid, ive been doing similar things for the past year now, saying no and spending more time doing things i love rather than trying to appease people, done wonders for my mental health i think everyone should adopt a similar mindset
Wonderful insight Alex. All of this it’s what I’ve been doing my self for a while now. The world obsessive behavior of feating on the trends is sickening. I still have my social networks, but only visit them to review messages and notifications. I rarely make post on them, the world doesn’t have to know my entire life, especially on scams and identity theft era. There is nothing more healthy that be your best self. However, ones have to be conscious that this mind set, sometimes, could push you to be alienated. When ones refuse to be a “follower/pleaser,” and starts to say “no,” or to behave different, (blatantly disagreeing with others) being truthful, speaking your mind, making different choices, taking different decisions, (all with respect and avoiding to harm anyone), many will tend to avoid you because they consider you awkward and rude. But the reality is that people are not accustomed to this way of being, and they can’t realize the ones has been the one completely real and truthful, in comparison with them that are judging you. But being alienated is not a bad thing, only those that really respect and appreciate you for what you are (the good, the bad, and the ugly) will choose to have your company and care of you. No one else is needed around you, only those willing to share with respect, care and learn ones from the others. The rest of the time ones have to learn to appreciate the loneliness learn of your own self. Sometimes, we live the most part of our lives trying to become someone we are not, and never get to known ourselves. We need to find our strengths, maximize our talents and abilities, give our real selves a chance to grow and shine, it’s one of the ways to reach fulfillment in life. However, nothing have makes my life fills as fulfilled and meaningful than seeking to learn about the love of God through the live and teachings of Jesus registered on the New Testament on the Bible. This has been life changing to me. Jesus said: “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” John 7:38. I literally experienced what He said here, and it was just the beginning, of what has been a wonderful and transformative process of an entire renewed and empowered life that I never imagined or dreamed. When we are willing to follow God’s instructions, we will finally experience the true wholeness of our lives.
My focus right now is reaching a point of contentment with things that I obsess over (all materialistic things, that’s how the youtube algorithm hooked me with your fragrance addiction vid) so I can put them to rest. I feel like winning that headspace back will be a foundation for improving everything else in life.
Great video as always. My word for 2025 is simplicity & I’m also in the process of stripping back what no longer sparks joy. Love the little insights into your life such as running etc & good luck with your race 🏅
Loved this❤ & as a former runner, I know that high! Enjoy!! - I want to scroll less, too; - Be a better friend; - Purchase less fragrance; - Spend more time with my current fragrance collection. (My olefactive palette has expanded & some that I didn’t like at first, I now notice I have an appreciation for.) - Eat, Move, Speak & Act like I love myself❤
"Live and be present," my motto ✨️ 🙌 😎

There's nothing like that runner's high!
These sound like excellent things to focus on this year. All the best!
It is not daily increase but daily decrease, hack away the unessential. The closer to the source, the less wastage there is.
