I got severely depressed after being in lockdowns for over a year in Toronto. I’ve never felt so low in my life. 4 months in the depression on a grey Saturday I decided to put on some running shoes and run around the block. After 15 mins I was panting. A year and half later I do intense cardio 5 times a week and life is definitely worth living again!! If you’re reading this take it slow and slowly build up the cardio. It’s medicine and it will help you get joy back in your life. It takes time though!
Toronto here also! Completely agree with you, it’s tough to start but after awhile running becomes part of your normal daily routine. Starting up Running has got me through some very challenging times and helped with self esteem.
Thank you for making this video. I am severely depressed and trying to get back into moving my body again. It reassures me that when I push myself, I should remember to actually be gentle. I will get where I need to be eventually.
I’ve also been in a dark place for the most of this year and last year. Took a break from work and school and have just been sedentary in my room. I’ve gained around 5-6kgs already and it just makes the depression worse.
dude thank you so so so much for this, i’m trying to lose 60 pounds but i haven’t been able to get out of bed most days to work out and i’ve just been gaining weight :(
Just pause and breathe - do everything out of love for yourself and not out of hate. Literally just try to wake up, feel your breathe, and try ten minutes of gentle movement and notice how it makes you feel! Time and love and patience ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Intermittent Fasting! I cut 35lbs in a couple months without working out. It's a good start. After you lose 20lbs you should have more energy to start working out. The hardest part is starting
My doctors have been telling me to exercise ever since I was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety 6 years. I did not know how to start or where to start. This helps so much! Thank you!
I prayed to G.od that He should send me a message on how to help my today’s client ( I am a private trainer ) who is depressed for many years. And after my prayer I found your video. This is just amazing and wonderful thank you so so much!!!!
Thank you. 2 years ago i got diagnosed with a panic and anxiety disorder. I had therapy and i was okay. Now its back and im at the start again. I live with prolonged stress and in addition to that i have anxiety everyday. I ecperience headaches, neck pain, back pain, throat pain, constipation and stomach aches everyday. I can never stop my mind from thinking and since the wait list is long again for therapy I wanted to exercise to lessen symptoms. This video helped me a lot forward. Im only 17 and i hate being this stressed out already.
we have the same experience, mine now is just starting to tighten my chest and then my thoughts are purely negative so I want to treat it right away because maybe I don't have anyone to talk to and I don't exercise now I know how to cure it and I'm a 16 year old boy
wow thank you ! this actually helps a lot more than I expected. I am very housebound (due to anxiety and panic attacks) at the moment and it sucks but i will start here. Let's do this you wonderful people out there :)
This is such great advice! You are so well spoken and I love how you focus on doing a workout that fits our mental state rather than pushing ourselves to the edge for physical looks. I've been struggling with the worst depression I've ever had for the past year and a half, and it all started when I stopped working out consistently for the first time in my life. Now I'm trying to get back in to it and I started out doing workouts that were too hard for me. I used to do them all the time, but I lost all my strength from not working out for a while so I'm back to square 1. It made me mad at myself, but then I realized something about myself. Completing a workout makes me feel more accomplished so i make sure that on the bad depressive days I pick a workout that is 30 minutes instead of an hour because its easier to get through and that the workout isn't too strenuous. If I'm really not feeling it, I will just sit on the floor stretch because it releases so much tension in my muscles. Thank you so much for all your advice. I especially liked the journaling idea about our emotions before and after a workout!
This was really encouraging and helpful. I have a laundry list of extremely dangerous mental illnesses and several suicide attempts under my belt and when I cycle into my depressions coupled with my PTSD and my ADHD I cannot stick to a routine when it is complex and extended because like you said, going there (to the gym) and having a preplanned routine rather than just getting to the gym and then having fun there, makes me feel even worse especially when I then stressed my body and couldn't finish the routine. But just going there and having fun and just being aware of what I enjoyed and did is really great cuz I can just go and set a timer and just give myself an excuse to move around and be human and active. Thank you, I appreciate your wisdom; it seems such wisdom truly can come from anyone and at any age.
Maybe work out at home maybe 10 minutes of skipping something that’s not too tedious I find working out at home is better than the gym with my depression I couldn’t see myself working out at the gym. I’d get a membership go for one day or a week quit and then reinstate my membership later and honestly it was an endless toxic cycle
Hey bro i was diagnosed with ocd and severe panic attacks. U have to do cardio wich is running goin for a long jog or doing sprints it really helps with severe panic attacks and depression bro trust me ive been through it i had sucidal ideation plenty of times. Please put running cardio into ur schedule atleast 6 days a week or even 7 days. Exercise running works on ur serotonin and gaba receptors wich is responsible for ur mood and for ur anxiety so please try
Yes this is so good! Thank you. I have been dealing with exactly what you're saying with getting out of bed, while also trying to ease back into my exercise routine. I have felt down for not being able to do what I could before at the gym(weight/intensity) But it is a huge boost to know that you don't have to accomplish it all at once. Being able to consistently get moving is what helps me through my anxiety and depression. It snowballs in a positive way to my diet, my thoughts, and everything in my life.
Man, this video really hit home. I've been going through some really funky depression lately, and where I used to love to workout now I dread it. I feel good once it's done, but getting started has felt like so much work lately. And where you said if you look a certain way everything will be ok also really rang true to me. It doesn't matter what you look like when you feel like crap inside. Thank you for making this video.
It's crazy how much it can help just to hear someone talk who truly understands what you are going though. Honestly just hearing you talk about how you wished you broke your leg or had some physical injury so that other people could actually see and understand and be sympathetic to what you are going through made me cry. It's so true and so sad, and I feel like that's one of the worst things about struggling with depression. Even the most well meaning people often just do not understand how depression feels. They want to tell you to just do something, as if it were actually that easy. It feels like hitting your head against a wall trying to make them understand, and in the end your just left feeling even more exhausted, defeated and alone. People just look at you and think "oh you're fine, there's nothing wrong with you, you SHOULD be able to do this". It just contributes even more to that feeling worthlessness and hopelessness. It's so much easier to just believe all those negative judgments when you're already feeling so low. I just want to thank you for sharing your experience and for understanding and spreading love.
It’s so true that recovering from depression is a lengthy process. It was 2 years ago I had a break down and nearly ended it, and I’m still learning how to function with it. There’s good days and bad days. I’m not on medication anymore, but I manage it with exercise and diet. There’s days where I just don’t have the motivation to do anything, and those are the days I go for a walk instead of pushing myself too hard. I used to force myself to the gym, but because I had no energy I’d have a rubbish workout and that would trigger negative thoughts, so instead I’ve learned to be gentle with myself, and go for a walk and treat myself to a hot chocolate on my route. I’ve stopped putting a silly amount of pressure on myself and instead I’ll give myself really small goals, like doing an extra 5 minutes on the bike, or running 5 minutes continually, or doing an extra rep on my weights. My aim is to make myself feel good rather than hitting a big goal, and I take each workout on a day by day basis to what I need from it that day. Over time I’ve learned what boosts my energy, what helps my anxiety, and what prevents me getting in a rut. I’ve come to love running outdoors. There’s something meditative about controlling your pace and paying attention to your breathing, and when it feels like everything in your life is going to shit, it’s a small part of your day where you can zone out snd be at peace.
This is exactly what I’ve needed to hear, I’ve put on some weight over the last year and my mental health has never been great as a sufferer of depression and anxiety. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos and getting started :)
Totally agree with you. It doesn't start smoothly at the beginning but slowly gets effective. Especially the morning sun helped me to change dramatically
Wow how is this so precise and exactly what I needed. I just became aware how my ambition to be better has created an environment that was abusive to my self . I remember laying in bed having an panic attack because I was so overwhelmed about what my routine was for the next day . At that point I realized I was putting too much on myself . 😓😓😓 I cried and apologized to me . Moving forward I am literally just working less and being ok with doing to less . This is crazy nobody ever talks about that .
@@sumitrapatel1610 I am actually much better now in this department , I wish I could tell you the exact steps I took but it’s been awhile . I feel like that’s when I developed a deeper connection with myself and understood that me working myself to death was infact a thing I used to torture and abuse myself honestly. Respect your body , respect your time, do not just over work and think about why you’re doing this ??? Do you feel you have to ? Do you feel inadequate if you don’t ? Why are you so judge mental and dismissive towards yourself . I see people doing what I was doing and they have this big smile but I see straight through lol I will never put myself through that again I value my rest , I understand I will get there evenetuakly , I make space for nothing because I know I also enjoy that too! Everything you do will get you to your goal . No matter how small fast slow big . As long as you’re moving you’re doing enough . That reminds me lol I think the first thing I started doing was acknowledging the small efforts I’ve done as BIG efforts . Like when I cleaned my house , washed clothes , did something for kids . I didn’t just overlook it and hurry to my next tasks I said to myself “good job” “you’ve done well” “you have completed a task” this goes for working out too . Everything you do deserves a pay on a back !
thank you for this i struugle with mental health issues and body image and i lack motivation toworkout even though i hate my body and my apperearance, stuff like this video slowly makes me realize that you have to start excersizing and treating your body well to feel truly happy with your apperance and state of mind. you cant be happy if your constantly torturing yourself withexcersize to be skinny or have the body you want, you have to take it slow and remember that by working out you are going to feel better despite any change in appearance.
very precious words, thank you. I'm trying to cope with chronic anxiety and burnout, while I have to still work and study for my exams. My boyfriend and all the world is repeating to me that I should do some sport or workout. And I try! I start for a couple of days and then I have so many things to do but I feel so slow and tired that I just think that I can't waste my time in this way and I quit. Hope to start again with a new mindset!
Hi. You’re video is very warm and happy and I love it. The problem is I’ve gotten so used to feeling sad and depressed that I wish I could find happiness. I pushed my best friends away, the people that cared for me the most. Feels like we broke up and I feel so heartbroken. They’ve been the best while I’ve been terrible. I know you don’t have to respond but I’m glad I found you’re video because it’s a start.
"movement is your medicine" is a phrasing i think i needed to hear years ago. changing the mindset to recovery instead of self-progression/improvement is a wonderful way to change pace.
Hi Gee, I wanna say a million thanks for making this video. Let me tell a bit about what im going through now. Im been going through depression for 3 years on and off now. 4 months ago my relationship of 9 years ended. My partner decided she had enough of my depression so she left me. It woke me up for 3 months cuz of the initial shock of the breakup. I worked hard and was positive to try and win her back. But its too late. So im gone back to being depressed this month and i dont feel like doing anything. Ive lost my business and is staying with my parent. im 27. Today i searched for ways to get out of depression and found your video. I got up and clean the house for the first time in months. Im feeling better at this current moment but i know tomorrow is gonna be the same but i'll watch this video everyday if i have to. Thank you so much.
I am crying.. what a great video and what a beautiful philosophy. I suffered from depression last year and it got better every month. But then I pushed myself too much. And it all started again. I haven't moved my body in months and my physical health is getting worse every day. But the thought of working out stressed me so much. Reminded me of my eating disorder. But seeing working out as medicine is really the best thing I have ever heard. That is true selfcare!
I am just starting to figure out that doing a shitload of HITT workouts was not the thing to do. When quarantine started and I couldn't go to the gym I started doing HITT workouts at home every day. This helped bring on anxiety and depression. With that I stopped the HITT for awhile and made improvements. Then I went back to HITT and anxiety came back with terrible insomnia. I unfortunately didn't realize that was a contributing factor. No more HITT for me. Regular weight training and walking will do.
Hey. Thank you very much for all the tips. You are the first person I found on YT after years of refusing to document on anything depression related. And I realised how much I can relate to the symptoms you’ve told about yourself. I’m going to try to exercise slowly, but not making any big plans before, as I’m afraid to not be able to follow it. You are probably never going to read this comment, but I also noticed you haven’t been uploading anything for 7 months now. I just hope you’re okay and didn’t fall back to where you were 😢 (And if you did, remember you’re not alone - this is what I’m telling myself lately) Sending you all the love in the world ❤
Hey, just found you but I loved this video. It relates to my experience so much and the realisations I’m slowly coming to after years of mental illness and feeling trapped in my mind and body. I grew up dancing too (no mistaking those pliés! 😍) and I think I’ve definitely cut a piece of myself off by not moving creatively anymore and only moving in an “exercise” way. You’re so right about the level of activity, so important for hormone balance. It’s frustrating that we constantly get told to burn x amount of calories etc for weight loss rather than do x level of activity for inner bodily balance and peace! The weight loss would just be an added bonus. About to go find you on Insta, you’ve put into words a lot of things I struggle to when I’m not well so this has been really quite comforting. Thank you x
Hahahah you spotted that turn out ey ;)!!! Aww I’m sooo glad that you liked the video and can relate. It’s such a hard concept for us all to get our heads around! Check out my new video with some natural tips for anxiety ua-cam.com/video/8BAqjiPsf0w/v-deo.html ❤️ xxx
A daily walk in nature with my dog is a must. I notice how much more susceptible to depression and anxiety I am when I don’t unplug and get outside and move. Outside in my opinion is so much more beneficial then the gym.
I watched this video being skeptical but I started crying because I thought I was alone, I looked this up because I’ve been trying to lose weight for years but it’s never worked because of my anxiety and depression made it extremely difficult thank you so much your wonderful
I honestly cannot express how thankful i am for this video. I’ve suffered with depression and disordered eating for years and i’m trying to recover from self harm addiction and this past year i’ve been just struggling with movement as it can trigger me although i knew it could help me, i just ended up feeling terrible after every workout. But everything you said in this video is what i’ve wanted and needed to hear for a long time. Thank you so so much XO
If you didn't already, please read "potatoes not prozac" by Kathleen Desmaisons. Self harming is caused by low Beta Endorphin, which as you say canbecome addictive, the same way tattoos become addictive for the same reason.
Knowing how depressed and down you were at one point in your life, and then seeing you smile like you did at 7:27 of this video gives me hope that I can smile again. This truly is a very good and helpful video and I am going to start moving more. Thank you very much.
I’m a 71 year old man and have had anxiety and mild depression since childhood..since I really increased my level of exercise in the gym I really feel great most of the time..try to avoid meds and give exercise a go but seek professional advice for more serious depression etc..exercise can be a positive addiction..
It's been a really hard time for me, I'm 16 and it's almost like my own life isn't just the same anymore and I know nothing about me and everyone and everything I trusted fell apart. I hope I overcome it someday, thankyou so much I have no friends or help at the moment it felt as if you were here ❤️
@@flora25 hi flora, I commented this 11 months ago around the same time as now I was completely lost and hopeless about everything and it had been like that for a while. Now 11months later I saw my comment because you replied and I'm here to tell you, it got better - it got really really better. I'd found myself again and the things I love, I've grown so much in so many ways and I am so proud of me for coming this far. I want you to know that it WILL GET BETTER i promise I genuinely thought it was a lie until it did get better. Whether it be long or short you need to know you'll come out stronger than ever. Do not lose hope and keep going love 💕 I'm so proud of you for pushing. Be strong.
Thank you for what u said in the very beginning about being patient with ourselves. 💗 I'm trying. I was up to 3 panic attacks a day..they seemed to come out of nowhere if I'm.being honest i am certain it was from laying down (giving up). After a horrible rape and a long drawn out 3 year court process and cancer I got so tired and tired mentally if that makes sense. I had lost hope in EVERYTHING. I did break down and take meds and im so so so so anti meds. I'm angry about it really. I miss my haply self. Im FINALLY starting to get up but i feel.so beat down i do TRULY have to take it slow. Thank you for this theres so many of us struggling and no one talks about this. Maybe the movement meds will help me kick the phsyc meds faster. Im going to start LITERALLY right now being kinder to myself. Im going to let myself like u said view this similar to a broken leg or arm .... That statement was my lightbulb moment sis. Thank you 💗
Thank u so so so so much. I didn't know when I gave up in my body it would cost me my mind too but it was true. I was so bad that I had to prep my body to move. Literally making myself drink enough water and starting slow to keep from straining my heart as I was scared if I jumped up I'd legit have a heart attack because I was truly that bad that I literally could not get up.
Thank you so much 💖😭. Thank you for your love and kindness and encouragement in this video. I’ve been so exhausted from mental health stuff and lies I’ve been working through so thank you for your encouragement. This was what I needed to hear today. I feel so understood.
Awww my angel! I whole heartedly understand and I promise it will get easier. There is light at the end of the darkness - patience patience patience and love and you will get there one moment at a time xxxxx
Thank you, I used to love movement but my depression has really done a number on my enjoyment of literally anything. I'm going to try moving my body again today but without putting myself down for not being as fit as I used to be, I really needed to hear this.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video! It’s just what I needed. I have bipolar 2 disorder. I couldn’t manage to get out of bed the last 2 days & called out sick from work - even though I work from home, so I’ve felt really guilty. Was sitting here trying to find the motivation to go get on my indoor bike for like 30-45 minutes because I’ve been eating so much. So I searched on YT for videos about exercise & mental health, and came across your video. I just subscribed! Would love it if you could do more videos like this, as well as your exercise videos. Thanks again!!
Thank you for this times a million. Halfway through the video I cried, got up, and starting stretching for the first time in months. I used to be so flexible as I used to dance often but depression and the pandemic took it from me. You helped me feel so understood. Thank you
There are not many videos like these, and I really appreciate this one. I have tried exercising to help my mental health but ive always gone to the hard and pushy workouts and after a few days i would just quit and feel horrible about myself. I would also tell my friends that I did the workout, and when I did quit, I felt horrible... they would think im still taking care of myself but I gave up. Ill try to do 5 minutes of stretching first, and try loving myself slowly. Again, thank you so much
This was so helpful. I put on so much weight from stress/depression/etc and of course like you did, I’m telling myself to go workout as hard as I can to burn off the stress but also weight. This was a helper reminder to not do that! Can’t wait to watch more of your vids. 💗
This was very comforting and encouraging to hear. I can relate with struggling to get out of bed. I've struggled with that alot myself. My depression isn't as bad as it was a year or so ago. It's still there of course and my anxiety but I'm trying to cope and deal with it and be open with it. I'm not on any medication atm, I will be soon. I need to be. With my anxiety it's at a point where I struggled to leave my home and go out for walks and do just day to day things. My anxiety is crippling. I love this video and your take on it. So relaxing to watch tbh. It was very comforting and encouraging hearing this from you. Btw you seem lovely ☺️
Thanks for this video it was a wonderful reminder. I love using exercise as part of managing my mental health, and particularly walking with my dog 1-2 times a day I find really useful. So glad you have made it through those tough times!!
This found me today is a really weird mental place. I’ve been a stay at home mom for almost 5 years and with everything going on in my personal life I’ve felt so alone lately and it’s really weighed down on me. I haven’t been myself at all. I love being home with my babies but it really is the hardest thing I’ve done and this video just made me sob. Not in a bad way but a really healing way. It’s really nice to hear that being kind to yourself and find something small that makes you happy and the moment you said “if no one has told you that today I am proud of you” really just got me. Thank you so much for this
@@bunheadsballet thank you so much! I’m definitely going to take it what you’ve said in your video and comment and be kind to myself and not push myself like I’ve felt I’ve had to! 🖤
I watch this when I was a couple months in to my depression. Now that moment you described happened for me but it took time . Just be patient more than a year later
Thanks so much for this! Some really insightful points from your experience that I hadn't thought about before, but really resonate with. Keep sharing!
I got hit by a car, all the left side of my body broke. I never suffered from anxiety or depression. Being in a wheelchair was really hard for my mental health. I got panic attacks for the first time. I’m much better now. Walking and anxiety medication really helped. If you need medication don’t feel ashamed. Feeling better, and being yourself is a priority.
Time stamp at 9:00 for teachers that lift you up. I'll come back to It but thank you so much for this video. I really needed this. I'm a hot mess and lucky still have the ability of typing my problems into search bars.
I guess you just solved all my problems. I'm sure I don't suffer from depression but since a few weeks I feel very sick, I feel weak and unmotivated and I tried to push myself through my daily training routine and it just made everything worse. Then I paused everything for a week and I didn't get any better. Now I was worried because I want to stay in shape but it seems like my body just want a never ending pause and I didn't know what to do. I guess, after watching your video, I just will put on some music and let my body move the way it wants to. Maybe I'll do some stretching or yoga instead if intense ballet classes or strengthening excercises. Thank you so much, it seems like you are down to earth and you understand how it's like to be a normal human being and not an alien with never ending power, motivation and energy.
This is a great video! Thank you so much for this! Very helpful Don't know who is will read this, but I just want to put out there that I'm currently struggling a lot with Depression and anxiety, but I think it looks very different for everyone. For me, there are good days and bad days, or good parts of the day and bad ones. On weekends I don't want to get up don't want to do anything at all. I go to work because I have to, but I regularly have meltdowns at work too and hide in the bathroom to gain back some strength to get back out there. However, I have things that distract me and make me feel like I'm completely fine, like hanging with friends, and being on social media. I'm not completely crippled in bed by it, but it's definitely there and it comes and goes. Just thought I would share just in case someone's symptoms are similar to mine and they can feel identified.
This is absolutely me. I used to be addicted to working out.. in a good way. Now I literally have to spend a great deal time to talk myself into it.Good luck!
I'm part way through this video and stopped to comment... I already relate. I'm 38 year old dude who has battled severe anxiety depression from childhood (panic attacts, low self worth, suicidal feelings, etc.) Been trying to "fix" myself for 20 yrs or so. Been through therapy, meds, etc, in my early 20s. Began turning to "natural" cures, (exercise, exercise, exercise, and healthy eating, and all that...🙃) since about 05. I too view movement as medicine and have taken that to the extreme as well...70 mile bike rides, crazy HIIT routines, 15 miles hikes on backpacking trips in the wilderness alone, etc... all efforts to "fix" myself... but become discouraged when these routines obliterate me or I'm unable to maintain the intensity for a sustained period... (work, and other neccessary life responsibilities crowd in)I guess I just wanted to say I can relate, as do millions of people I'm sure. Thank you for the video! Best regards ✊😊
I was in a very strong depression for dance because some people didn't like the way I danced and they closed me many dreams and opportunities, in fact now I'm at a time of hating what I loved most in the world "dance", because I think dance took my whole life and sometimes I'd like to focus that time on other things ( but it´s difficult to hate her you know). But I discovered that it was my life and I learned a lot from it, and I have beautiful moments and practices from her. Definitely with your video I think it will help me a lot to see the movement from another perspective, not the strict but the liberating prospect, to find fun and love with movements instead of dancing for the same usual routine. Thank you!
After my oldest sibling got deported, I fell into a deep depression and severe anorexia. Now, two years later I strength train everyday from 1-2 hours. I’ve never felt so grateful for life and am grateful I can wake up everyday and go to the gym
My goodness I really really like you. You are the first thing that has made me smile in the last 7-days. I'm subscribing the hell out of your channel💖💖💖🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😊😊😊♥️♥️♥️
Wow this vid of so cool i never see anyone post about struggling to exercise when dealing with bad mental health its really helpful for me especially dealing with school its sooo hard to get out of bef
Thanks for sharing these tips! These are some things I haven’t thought about doing before! It’s hard to come to the realization that it won’t get better in one day & that it takes time. I always forget that. I’m excited to try these tips out! 🥰
I got severely depressed after being in lockdowns for over a year in Toronto. I’ve never felt so low in my life. 4 months in the depression on a grey Saturday I decided to put on some running shoes and run around the block. After 15 mins I was panting. A year and half later I do intense cardio 5 times a week and life is definitely worth living again!! If you’re reading this take it slow and slowly build up the cardio. It’s medicine and it will help you get joy back in your life. It takes time though!
Toronto here also! Completely agree with you, it’s tough to start but after awhile running becomes part of your normal daily routine. Starting up Running has got me through some very challenging times and helped with self esteem.
@@nervesinapattern7261 Took me a year of lockdowns to figure out why half the city was running by lakeshore every day!
I joined Couch2-5K I somehow managed to complete it and now try run 2-3 times per week, GameChanger!!!! Boom 💥
Thanks Scott. You have no idea how I needed to read this
Thank you ❤
Thank you for making this video. I am severely depressed and trying to get back into moving my body again. It reassures me that when I push myself, I should remember to actually be gentle. I will get where I need to be eventually.
I’m so glad it helped!!!! Patience and kindness and you’ll get back to yourself again ✨
How’s it going now?
Hope you're doing better now.
I’ve also been in a dark place for the most of this year and last year. Took a break from work and school and have just been sedentary in my room. I’ve gained around 5-6kgs already and it just makes the depression worse.
dude thank you so so so much for this, i’m trying to lose 60 pounds but i haven’t been able to get out of bed most days to work out and i’ve just been gaining weight :(
Just pause and breathe - do everything out of love for yourself and not out of hate. Literally just try to wake up, feel your breathe, and try ten minutes of gentle movement and notice how it makes you feel! Time and love and patience ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Intermittent Fasting!
I cut 35lbs in a couple months without working out.
It's a good start. After you lose 20lbs you should have more energy to start working out.
The hardest part is starting
My doctors have been telling me to exercise ever since I was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety 6 years. I did not know how to start or where to start. This helps so much! Thank you!
Start small!!!! You’ve got this!
I prayed to G.od that He should send me a message on how to help my today’s client ( I am a private trainer ) who is depressed for many years. And after my prayer I found your video. This is just amazing and wonderful thank you so so much!!!!
Thank you. 2 years ago i got diagnosed with a panic and anxiety disorder. I had therapy and i was okay. Now its back and im at the start again. I live with prolonged stress and in addition to that i have anxiety everyday. I ecperience headaches, neck pain, back pain, throat pain, constipation and stomach aches everyday. I can never stop my mind from thinking and since the wait list is long again for therapy I wanted to exercise to lessen symptoms. This video helped me a lot forward. Im only 17 and i hate being this stressed out already.
You're beautiful and deserve to be happy..keep going I believe in us🙌🏽we have what it takes to be great
we have the same experience, mine now is just starting to tighten my chest and then my thoughts are purely negative
so I want to treat it right away because maybe I don't have anyone to talk to and I don't exercise now I know how to cure it and I'm a 16 year old boy
wow thank you ! this actually helps a lot more than I expected. I am very housebound (due to anxiety and panic attacks) at the moment and it sucks but i will start here. Let's do this you wonderful people out there :)
Sending you much love and peace ❤
This is such great advice! You are so well spoken and I love how you focus on doing a workout that fits our mental state rather than pushing ourselves to the edge for physical looks. I've been struggling with the worst depression I've ever had for the past year and a half, and it all started when I stopped working out consistently for the first time in my life. Now I'm trying to get back in to it and I started out doing workouts that were too hard for me. I used to do them all the time, but I lost all my strength from not working out for a while so I'm back to square 1. It made me mad at myself, but then I realized something about myself. Completing a workout makes me feel more accomplished so i make sure that on the bad depressive days I pick a workout that is 30 minutes instead of an hour because its easier to get through and that the workout isn't too strenuous. If I'm really not feeling it, I will just sit on the floor stretch because it releases so much tension in my muscles. Thank you so much for all your advice. I especially liked the journaling idea about our emotions before and after a workout!
Vigorous Bike riding totally took away my depression and anxiety! Amazing
This was really encouraging and helpful. I have a laundry list of extremely dangerous mental illnesses and several suicide attempts under my belt and when I cycle into my depressions coupled with my PTSD and my ADHD I cannot stick to a routine when it is complex and extended because like you said, going there (to the gym) and having a preplanned routine rather than just getting to the gym and then having fun there, makes me feel even worse especially when I then stressed my body and couldn't finish the routine. But just going there and having fun and just being aware of what I enjoyed and did is really great cuz I can just go and set a timer and just give myself an excuse to move around and be human and active. Thank you, I appreciate your wisdom; it seems such wisdom truly can come from anyone and at any age.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hang in there!!

Maybe work out at home maybe 10 minutes of skipping something that’s not too tedious I find working out at home is better than the gym with my depression I couldn’t see myself working out at the gym. I’d get a membership go for one day or a week quit and then reinstate my membership later and honestly it was an endless toxic cycle
Hey bro i was diagnosed with ocd and severe panic attacks. U have to do cardio wich is running goin for a long jog or doing sprints it really helps with severe panic attacks and depression bro trust me ive been through it i had sucidal ideation plenty of times. Please put running cardio into ur schedule atleast 6 days a week or even 7 days. Exercise running works on ur serotonin and gaba receptors wich is responsible for ur mood and for ur anxiety so please try
Yes this is so good! Thank you. I have been dealing with exactly what you're saying with getting out of bed, while also trying to ease back into my exercise routine. I have felt down for not being able to do what I could before at the gym(weight/intensity)
But it is a huge boost to know that you don't have to accomplish it all at once. Being able to consistently get moving is what helps me through my anxiety and depression. It snowballs in a positive way to my diet, my thoughts, and everything in my life.
Man, this video really hit home. I've been going through some really funky depression lately, and where I used to love to workout now I dread it. I feel good once it's done, but getting started has felt like so much work lately. And where you said if you look a certain way everything will be ok also really rang true to me. It doesn't matter what you look like when you feel like crap inside. Thank you for making this video.
It's crazy how much it can help just to hear someone talk who truly understands what you are going though. Honestly just hearing you talk about how you wished you broke your leg or had some physical injury so that other people could actually see and understand and be sympathetic to what you are going through made me cry. It's so true and so sad, and I feel like that's one of the worst things about struggling with depression. Even the most well meaning people often just do not understand how depression feels. They want to tell you to just do something, as if it were actually that easy. It feels like hitting your head against a wall trying to make them understand, and in the end your just left feeling even more exhausted, defeated and alone. People just look at you and think "oh you're fine, there's nothing wrong with you, you SHOULD be able to do this". It just contributes even more to that feeling worthlessness and hopelessness. It's so much easier to just believe all those negative judgments when you're already feeling so low. I just want to thank you for sharing your experience and for understanding and spreading love.
It’s so true that recovering from depression is a lengthy process. It was 2 years ago I had a break down and nearly ended it, and I’m still learning how to function with it. There’s good days and bad days. I’m not on medication anymore, but I manage it with exercise and diet. There’s days where I just don’t have the motivation to do anything, and those are the days I go for a walk instead of pushing myself too hard. I used to force myself to the gym, but because I had no energy I’d have a rubbish workout and that would trigger negative thoughts, so instead I’ve learned to be gentle with myself, and go for a walk and treat myself to a hot chocolate on my route.
I’ve stopped putting a silly amount of pressure on myself and instead I’ll give myself really small goals, like doing an extra 5 minutes on the bike, or running 5 minutes continually, or doing an extra rep on my weights. My aim is to make myself feel good rather than hitting a big goal, and I take each workout on a day by day basis to what I need from it that day. Over time I’ve learned what boosts my energy, what helps my anxiety, and what prevents me getting in a rut.
I’ve come to love running outdoors. There’s something meditative about controlling your pace and paying attention to your breathing, and when it feels like everything in your life is going to shit, it’s a small part of your day where you can zone out snd be at peace.
You're a beautiful person and deserve happiness.. If you need some support you can message me whenever..
Movement as medication really struck me! Such a good way to see it xx
The sun will shine again 💛 thank you for this
Always lovely ❤️❤️❤️
Hi lovely! Check out my new video with some more natural tips for anxiety 🤍🤍🤍
I will probably watch this video every week. Everytime I can't get out of bed I listen to your words and allow myself to feel hopeful
This is exactly what I’ve needed to hear, I’ve put on some weight over the last year and my mental health has never been great as a sufferer of depression and anxiety. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos and getting started :)
Aww I’m so glad it helped lovely! Check out my new video with some natural tips for anxiety ❤️❤️❤️ ua-cam.com/video/8BAqjiPsf0w/v-deo.html
Totally agree with you. It doesn't start smoothly at the beginning but slowly gets effective. Especially the morning sun helped me to change dramatically
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow how is this so precise and exactly what I needed. I just became aware how my ambition to be better has created an environment that was abusive to my self . I remember laying in bed having an panic attack because I was so overwhelmed about what my routine was for the next day . At that point I realized I was putting too much on myself . 😓😓😓 I cried and apologized to me . Moving forward I am literally just working less and being ok with doing to less . This is crazy nobody ever talks about that .
That is so true and freeing
How you now ?
@@sumitrapatel1610 I am actually much better now in this department , I wish I could tell you the exact steps I took but it’s been awhile . I feel like that’s when I developed a deeper connection with myself and understood that me working myself to death was infact a thing I used to torture and abuse myself honestly. Respect your body , respect your time, do not just over work and think about why you’re doing this ??? Do you feel you have to ? Do you feel inadequate if you don’t ? Why are you so judge mental and dismissive towards yourself . I see people doing what I was doing and they have this big smile but I see straight through lol I will never put myself through that again I value my rest , I understand I will get there evenetuakly , I make space for nothing because I know I also enjoy that too! Everything you do will get you to your goal . No matter how small fast slow big . As long as you’re moving you’re doing enough . That reminds me lol I think the first thing I started doing was acknowledging the small efforts I’ve done as BIG efforts . Like when I cleaned my house , washed clothes , did something for kids . I didn’t just overlook it and hurry to my next tasks I said to myself “good job” “you’ve done well” “you have completed a task” this goes for working out too . Everything you do deserves a pay on a back !
thank you for this i struugle with mental health issues and body image and i lack motivation toworkout even though i hate my body and my apperearance, stuff like this video slowly makes me realize that you have to start excersizing and treating your body well to feel truly happy with your apperance and state of mind. you cant be happy if your constantly torturing yourself withexcersize to be skinny or have the body you want, you have to take it slow and remember that by working out you are going to feel better despite any change in appearance.
very precious words, thank you.
I'm trying to cope with chronic anxiety and burnout, while I have to still work and study for my exams. My boyfriend and all the world is repeating to me that I should do some sport or workout. And I try! I start for a couple of days and then I have so many things to do but I feel so slow and tired that I just think that I can't waste my time in this way and I quit.
Hope to start again with a new mindset!
I’m in tears bc of this. Thank you 🥺❤️
Hi. You’re video is very warm and happy and I love it. The problem is I’ve gotten so used to feeling sad and depressed that I wish I could find happiness. I pushed my best friends away, the people that cared for me the most. Feels like we broke up and I feel so heartbroken. They’ve been the best while I’ve been terrible. I know you don’t have to respond but I’m glad I found you’re video because it’s a start.
"movement is your medicine" is a phrasing i think i needed to hear years ago. changing the mindset to recovery instead of self-progression/improvement is a wonderful way to change pace.
Hi Gee, I wanna say a million thanks for making this video. Let me tell a bit about what im going through now. Im been going through depression for 3 years on and off now. 4 months ago my relationship of 9 years ended. My partner decided she had enough of my depression so she left me. It woke me up for 3 months cuz of the initial shock of the breakup. I worked hard and was positive to try and win her back. But its too late. So im gone back to being depressed this month and i dont feel like doing anything. Ive lost my business and is staying with my parent. im 27. Today i searched for ways to get out of depression and found your video. I got up and clean the house for the first time in months. Im feeling better at this current moment but i know tomorrow is gonna be the same but i'll watch this video everyday if i have to. Thank you so much.
I am crying.. what a great video and what a beautiful philosophy.
I suffered from depression last year and it got better every month. But then I pushed myself too much. And it all started again. I haven't moved my body in months and my physical health is getting worse every day.
But the thought of working out stressed me so much. Reminded me of my eating disorder.
But seeing working out as medicine is really the best thing I have ever heard.
That is true selfcare!
Awww sweetie!!!! I’m so proud of you! Be and patient on your journey, one little day at a time ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The one thing that really made me feel better, energized, and determined to reach my goals was Forwago. Thank you so much !!!
Thank you so much! This video help me in so many ways, you have no idea! Thank you so so much, Gee!
I am in the same boat… Something as simple as a phrase like: “motion is medicine”, has helped me so much. It just clicked, thank you so SO much! ♥️
I am just starting to figure out that doing a shitload of HITT workouts was not the thing to do. When quarantine started and I couldn't go to the gym I started doing HITT workouts at home every day. This helped bring on anxiety and depression. With that I stopped the HITT for awhile and made improvements. Then I went back to HITT and anxiety came back with terrible insomnia. I unfortunately didn't realize that was a contributing factor. No more HITT for me. Regular weight training and walking will do.
Hey. Thank you very much for all the tips. You are the first person I found on YT after years of refusing to document on anything depression related. And I realised how much I can relate to the symptoms you’ve told about yourself.
I’m going to try to exercise slowly, but not making any big plans before, as I’m afraid to not be able to follow it.
You are probably never going to read this comment, but I also noticed you haven’t been uploading anything for 7 months now. I just hope you’re okay and didn’t fall back to where you were 😢 (And if you did, remember you’re not alone - this is what I’m telling myself lately)
Sending you all the love in the world ❤
Hey, just found you but I loved this video. It relates to my experience so much and the realisations I’m slowly coming to after years of mental illness and feeling trapped in my mind and body. I grew up dancing too (no mistaking those pliés! 😍) and I think I’ve definitely cut a piece of myself off by not moving creatively anymore and only moving in an “exercise” way. You’re so right about the level of activity, so important for hormone balance. It’s frustrating that we constantly get told to burn x amount of calories etc for weight loss rather than do x level of activity for inner bodily balance and peace! The weight loss would just be an added bonus. About to go find you on Insta, you’ve put into words a lot of things I struggle to when I’m not well so this has been really quite comforting. Thank you x
Hahahah you spotted that turn out ey ;)!!! Aww I’m sooo glad that you liked the video and can relate. It’s such a hard concept for us all to get our heads around! Check out my new video with some natural tips for anxiety ua-cam.com/video/8BAqjiPsf0w/v-deo.html ❤️ xxx
A daily walk in nature with my dog is a must. I notice how much more susceptible to depression and anxiety I am when I don’t unplug and get outside and move. Outside in my opinion is so much more beneficial then the gym.
I watched this video being skeptical but I started crying because I thought I was alone, I looked this up because I’ve been trying to lose weight for years but it’s never worked because of my anxiety and depression made it extremely difficult thank you so much your wonderful
I honestly cannot express how thankful i am for this video. I’ve suffered with depression and disordered eating for years and i’m trying to recover from self harm addiction and this past year i’ve been just struggling with movement as it can trigger me although i knew it could help me, i just ended up feeling terrible after every workout. But everything you said in this video is what i’ve wanted and needed to hear for a long time. Thank you so so much XO
If you didn't already, please read "potatoes not prozac" by Kathleen Desmaisons. Self harming is caused by low Beta Endorphin, which as you say canbecome addictive, the same way tattoos become addictive for the same reason.
Knowing how depressed and down you were at one point in your life, and then seeing you smile like you did at 7:27 of this video gives me hope that I can smile again. This truly is a very good and helpful video and I am going to start moving more. Thank you very much.
This video literally changed my life for the better. Thank you so much!
I’m a 71 year old man and have had anxiety and mild depression since childhood..since I really increased my level of exercise in the gym I really feel great most of the time..try to avoid meds and give exercise a go but seek professional advice for more serious depression etc..exercise can be a positive addiction..
It's been a really hard time for me, I'm 16 and it's almost like my own life isn't just the same anymore and I know nothing about me and everyone and everything I trusted fell apart. I hope I overcome it someday, thankyou so much I have no friends or help at the moment it felt as if you were here ❤️
i’m 16 too. i know how you feel and i’m the exact same way.
@@flora25 hi flora, I commented this 11 months ago around the same time as now I was completely lost and hopeless about everything and it had been like that for a while. Now 11months later I saw my comment because you replied and I'm here to tell you, it got better - it got really really better. I'd found myself again and the things I love, I've grown so much in so many ways and I am so proud of me for coming this far. I want you to know that it WILL GET BETTER i promise I genuinely thought it was a lie until it did get better. Whether it be long or short you need to know you'll come out stronger than ever. Do not lose hope and keep going love 💕 I'm so proud of you for pushing. Be strong.
@tanusharma8748 what a lovely person you are ❤
Thank you for what u said in the very beginning about being patient with ourselves. 💗 I'm trying. I was up to 3 panic attacks a day..they seemed to come out of nowhere if I'm.being honest i am certain it was from laying down (giving up). After a horrible rape and a long drawn out 3 year court process and cancer I got so tired and tired mentally if that makes sense. I had lost hope in EVERYTHING. I did break down and take meds and im so so so so anti meds. I'm angry about it really. I miss my haply self. Im FINALLY starting to get up but i feel.so beat down i do TRULY have to take it slow. Thank you for this theres so many of us struggling and no one talks about this. Maybe the movement meds will help me kick the phsyc meds faster. Im going to start LITERALLY right now being kinder to myself. Im going to let myself like u said view this similar to a broken leg or arm .... That statement was my lightbulb moment sis. Thank you 💗
Thank you for sharing your journey. Sending all of the love. You’ve got this ❤️❤️❤️
This is video I needed in this hard time i've been in a while. Thank you so much for your wisdom. ♥️
This is so great. Thank you so much
Thank u so so so so much. I didn't know when I gave up in my body it would cost me my mind too but it was true. I was so bad that I had to prep my body to move. Literally making myself drink enough water and starting slow to keep from straining my heart as I was scared if I jumped up I'd legit have a heart attack because I was truly that bad that I literally could not get up.
Thank you! thank for your messages.
She described the way I’m feeling completely
Thank you so much 💖😭. Thank you for your love and kindness and encouragement in this video. I’ve been so exhausted from mental health stuff and lies I’ve been working through so thank you for your encouragement. This was what I needed to hear today. I feel so understood.
Awww my angel! I whole heartedly understand and I promise it will get easier. There is light at the end of the darkness - patience patience patience and love and you will get there one moment at a time xxxxx
Hey lovely! Hope you are well! Check out my new video with some natural tips for anxiety ua-cam.com/video/8BAqjiPsf0w/v-deo.html ❤️
Thank you, I used to love movement but my depression has really done a number on my enjoyment of literally anything. I'm going to try moving my body again today but without putting myself down for not being as fit as I used to be, I really needed to hear this.
This makes me so happy to hear! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this video! People who have not been through anxiety or depression cannot understand.
Loved your vid, reminding ourselves to take it in our stride💞
Your message was incredibly beautiful. So as you. ❤
Thank you so much for this wonderful video! It’s just what I needed. I have bipolar 2 disorder. I couldn’t manage to get out of bed the last 2 days & called out sick from work - even though I work from home, so I’ve felt really guilty. Was sitting here trying to find the motivation to go get on my indoor bike for like 30-45 minutes because I’ve been eating so much. So I searched on YT for videos about exercise & mental health, and came across your video. I just subscribed! Would love it if you could do more videos like this, as well as your exercise videos. Thanks again!!
Thank you!
This gives me hope, I’ll try it!!!
Thank you for this times a million. Halfway through the video I cried, got up, and starting stretching for the first time in months. I used to be so flexible as I used to dance often but depression and the pandemic took it from me. You helped me feel so understood. Thank you
Bethany this is incredible! I'm literally so proud of you
Hey lovely! Hope you are well! Check out my new video with some natural tips for anxiety ua-cam.com/video/8BAqjiPsf0w/v-deo.html ❤️
Thank you for this advice also making me feel better about my self made me cry in happiness thank you
There are not many videos like these, and I really appreciate this one. I have tried exercising to help my mental health but ive always gone to the hard and pushy workouts and after a few days i would just quit and feel horrible about myself. I would also tell my friends that I did the workout, and when I did quit, I felt horrible... they would think im still taking care of myself but I gave up. Ill try to do 5 minutes of stretching first, and try loving myself slowly. Again, thank you so much
I’m so glad it resonates! Sending all the love!
Hey lovely! Hope you are well! Check out my new video with some natural tips for anxiety ua-cam.com/video/8BAqjiPsf0w/v-deo.html ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing, what i walked away with was viewing body movement as medicine that is powerful.
This was so helpful. I put on so much weight from stress/depression/etc and of course like you did, I’m telling myself to go workout as hard as I can to burn off the stress but also weight. This was a helper reminder to not do that! Can’t wait to watch more of your vids. 💗
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ aww be gentle and kind sweetie. It’s the lifestyle that makes the long lasting changes! Punishment never gets us anywhere! Xxxx
Very well said. Thank You
This was very comforting and encouraging to hear. I can relate with struggling to get out of bed. I've struggled with that alot myself. My depression isn't as bad as it was a year or so ago. It's still there of course and my anxiety but I'm trying to cope and deal with it and be open with it. I'm not on any medication atm, I will be soon. I need to be. With my anxiety it's at a point where I struggled to leave my home and go out for walks and do just day to day things. My anxiety is crippling. I love this video and your take on it. So relaxing to watch tbh. It was very comforting and encouraging hearing this from you. Btw you seem lovely ☺️
Thanks for this video it was a wonderful reminder. I love using exercise as part of managing my mental health, and particularly walking with my dog 1-2 times a day I find really useful. So glad you have made it through those tough times!!
Thankyou so much for this! Really appreciate it
This found me today is a really weird mental place. I’ve been a stay at home mom for almost 5 years and with everything going on in my personal life I’ve felt so alone lately and it’s really weighed down on me. I haven’t been myself at all. I love being home with my babies but it really is the hardest thing I’ve done and this video just made me sob. Not in a bad way but a really healing way. It’s really nice to hear that being kind to yourself and find something small that makes you happy and the moment you said “if no one has told you that today I am proud of you” really just got me. Thank you so much for this
Awww you are so sweet!!!! I’m so glad it found you in the right moment! Sending all the love to you and your little ones
@@bunheadsballet thank you so much! I’m definitely going to take it what you’ve said in your video and comment and be kind to myself and not push myself like I’ve felt I’ve had to! 🖤
thank you. i was a perfectionist. i am learning to let go and just enjoy
Thank you for this 💕
Wow this is fantastic thank you for sharing! Such wise and kind words ❤
Yup Excerise is key
I really needed to see this today. Thank you.
I watch this when I was a couple months in to my depression. Now that moment you described happened for me but it took time . Just be patient more than a year later
Thank you so much x
This was exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you so much
Sending all of the love!!!!
Hi lovely! Check out my new video with some more natural tips for anxiety 🤍🤍🤍
This video was so encouraging and helpful thank you so much for all the wonderful tips 🙏💕
Thanks so much for this! Some really insightful points from your experience that I hadn't thought about before, but really resonate with. Keep sharing!
I got hit by a car, all the left side of my body broke. I never suffered from anxiety or depression. Being in a wheelchair was really hard for my mental health. I got panic attacks for the first time. I’m much better now. Walking and anxiety medication really helped. If you need medication don’t feel ashamed. Feeling better, and being yourself is a priority.
Time stamp at 9:00 for teachers that lift you up.
I'll come back to It but thank you so much for this video.
I really needed this. I'm a hot mess and lucky still have the ability of typing my problems into search bars.
Thank you very much for this ,especially words of encouragement at the end
Of course! Sending all the ❤️
I guess you just solved all my problems. I'm sure I don't suffer from depression but since a few weeks I feel very sick, I feel weak and unmotivated and I tried to push myself through my daily training routine and it just made everything worse. Then I paused everything for a week and I didn't get any better. Now I was worried because I want to stay in shape but it seems like my body just want a never ending pause and I didn't know what to do. I guess, after watching your video, I just will put on some music and let my body move the way it wants to. Maybe I'll do some stretching or yoga instead if intense ballet classes or strengthening excercises. Thank you so much, it seems like you are down to earth and you understand how it's like to be a normal human being and not an alien with never ending power, motivation and energy.
Exactly!!!! Just LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!!!! It will ALWAYS telling you what to do xoxox
Hey lovely! Hope you are well! Check out my new video with some natural tips for anxiety ua-cam.com/video/8BAqjiPsf0w/v-deo.html ❤️
This is a great video! Thank you so much for this! Very helpful
Don't know who is will read this, but I just want to put out there that I'm currently struggling a lot with Depression and anxiety, but I think it looks very different for everyone. For me, there are good days and bad days, or good parts of the day and bad ones. On weekends I don't want to get up don't want to do anything at all. I go to work because I have to, but I regularly have meltdowns at work too and hide in the bathroom to gain back some strength to get back out there. However, I have things that distract me and make me feel like I'm completely fine, like hanging with friends, and being on social media. I'm not completely crippled in bed by it, but it's definitely there and it comes and goes. Just thought I would share just in case someone's symptoms are similar to mine and they can feel identified.
This is absolutely me. I used to be addicted to working out.. in a good way. Now I literally have to spend a great deal time to talk myself into it.Good luck!
Thank you for this video 🖤
I'm part way through this video and stopped to comment... I already relate. I'm 38 year old dude who has battled severe anxiety depression from childhood (panic attacts, low self worth, suicidal feelings, etc.) Been trying to "fix" myself for 20 yrs or so. Been through therapy, meds, etc, in my early 20s. Began turning to "natural" cures, (exercise, exercise, exercise, and healthy eating, and all that...🙃) since about 05. I too view movement as medicine and have taken that to the extreme as well...70 mile bike rides, crazy HIIT routines, 15 miles hikes on backpacking trips in the wilderness alone, etc... all efforts to "fix" myself... but become discouraged when these routines obliterate me or I'm unable to maintain the intensity for a sustained period... (work, and other neccessary life responsibilities crowd in)I guess I just wanted to say I can relate, as do millions of people I'm sure. Thank you for the video! Best regards ✊😊
Lovely ..nice work ❤️
I was in a very strong depression for dance because some people didn't like the way I danced and they closed me many dreams and opportunities, in fact now I'm at a time of hating what I loved most in the world "dance", because I think dance took my whole life and sometimes I'd like to focus that time on other things ( but it´s difficult to hate her you know). But I discovered that it was my life and I learned a lot from it, and I have beautiful moments and practices from her. Definitely with your video I think it will help me a lot to see the movement from another perspective, not the strict but the liberating prospect, to find fun and love with movements instead of dancing for the same usual routine. Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
