“Maybe living in my car is better for my mental health” 🙌🏾👏🏾 sis! Everyone ain’t there yet. People won’t get it, but I’m so happy for you for realizing the freedom that comes with just letting go. Proud of you!!!
This reminds me when I was homeless. I was sleeping in the airport, and I slept outside a couple of times-- But I truly learned what community could be & how resourceful I could be. It's like everytime I was about to really give up, someone magically appeared & gave me what I needed to keep going. Those nights I was starving & Ethiopian women came and gave me what I needed..those were the times where I found what true joy was; how losing so much simultaneously made me realize I actually lost nothing. I was simply attached to things that really weren't serving me.
@@JacquesChevon literally went thru the same exact thing. We do really serve the God of abundance. Never went without. Lots of tough situations but so much growth from pling yourself up from the bottom
Thank you again for the powerful medicine. I faced living in my car in 2018 and I let go. I lived in a tent for almost two years and it’s when I had a living experience of being supported by spirit and by humans. I used to be proud of doing it alone and Life broke me open. A simpler life allows more time to just be. I watched Stephanie Perry last week and she said write yourself a permission slip and I did. I give myself permission to work as little as possible. I give myself permission to feel safe. I give myself permission to receive!!
i’m working towards dumping my bills & my apartment permanently… also considering leaving the country (south africa) & completely abandoning modern life for something simpler and more heart centred
Every time I had an apartment I felt like I was paying for an expensive closet. I’m a homebody I like to be at home. I felt I never got to because I had to work for the place 😂😂
This is such a brave post. I love it. Most people would be scared to say these truths. I have lived without a home for 4 years while traveling the world and just having faith that things will fall into place. It's been amazing. So much less stress and so much adventure and growth. No rent. No consumerism. I lived out of my carry on luggage. And lived far better than I did when I had an apartment and all the stuff and stress. I lived in mansions for free while traveling, but I'd been holding on to my studio apartment for years, not knowing I could have a far better life experience. That season is coming to an end, but I'm so glad I followed God's leading and chose an unconventional life. I'm glad I've learned to trust what I need. I've rarely had a "regular" desk 9-5 because that's not how I'm designed. Listening to ourselves and God changes everything.
Listening to this had me teary eyed, this message truly blessed me today. Everyone around me constantly tells me I’m too hard on myself, I overcommit, I hustle to achieve, I people-please and all for what?! PLEASE continue to share messages like these. The world needs you 💜
LOL, I too was not born to fit in, I have figured out that I am frustrated all the time because while many say and treat me like an extrovert, im actually an introvert. I am anxious all the time and so I decided to stay away to keep myself from being anxious all the time. Then I was happier, and I could finally breathe. While I love my job, I do not want to be stagnant, and travel is a huge part of my preferred life. I too am starting to do things only that I want to do and taking everything in stride so that I can lead my dream life.
Being in alignment is 🔑 I agree with everything you said. I have a saying, “Don’t force jeans, relationships, or ponytails.” PERIOD! Be in flow. Let goooo. Over the past few months I’ve let go of friendships that I’ve had well over 10 years. It was very painful, but I realized that they were no longer serving me & I was holding on out of fear of “what if there’s nothing greater later?” Our body & our soul constantly speaks to us, giving us messages/signs. It knows. The mind just has a hard time catching up sometimes bcz of all of the UNlearning we have to do. Thank you for allowing us to see your life “falling apart,” only to be put back together where it’s intended to be💜
I battle depression stemming from domestic PTSD. I've been divorced for 30 yrs, he died a few months ago, but still, I struggle. I struggle horribly with self-esteem. Finances are always, always an issue. I am a sm business, independent contractor. My business fell apart 30 yrs ago, but I limp along. I've tried all sorts of different jobs, still staying with my nail business. Each job always ended. Door closed. I have no idea what God has in store for me. I take it day by day. I slept in my car a few times, escaping a bad situation in bad relationship. Starting, staying, finally escaping, no self-esteem. I felt I was not worth more than that. Stemming from my parents who made sure that I felt not worth more than that. At almost 60 yrs, I struggle to find where I fit in. I find myself always looking in instead of being a part of. I like hearing you talk. I find it gives me clarity to just be. T9 breath. Think of positive things, ideas. To walk quietly in the moment. The path of life is long, crooked and filled with pot holes. You help me to know I am not so alone. I can be strong in my own self-worth, take a small step, then another, then another. We are just taking those tentative steps, hopefully in the direction God wants us to take, to find our path, be all we are created to be.
It's a blessing to be able to let go!! I feel very blessed because I have let go and have been abundantly blessed by the people The Most High put in my life. 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽
YASSSSS I am living proof of this. I had a great paying job, paying ridiculous rent in a big city. Working to survive. Last year I put all my shit in storage, left my job and moved into my SUV and traveled. Now I'm in a place I never thought I'd be, with people who understand my lifestyle, and away from the rat race. I never would have chosen this for myself, but my higher power knew what I needed. I had to let go of EVERYTHING and let the universe lead me. Fear was real, but once you make the leap it's beautiful. Trust that you will be taken care of. I'm sooooooooo happy for you. Nature really heals. 🥰
Thank you for these raw, real conversations! There are some people out here literately working just to pay bills, buy more stuff and keep up appearances. I spoke about something similar in a video I posted this morning - focus on what YOUR soul and spirit needs, then figure out how to get there.
Your point on fighting for people hit me so hard. In my later years, Ive been ACTIVELY and INTENTIONALLY trying to preserve my relationships and Its all been pointless because these people really didn't care as much as I thought they did. I thought I would be a better person if I fought for the relationships, something I never did growing up and now I resent the fact that I allowed people to change the way I did things. Like you mentioned, I was trying to convince them that I was a good thing and stay and when it inevitably failed, it affected how i viewed myself as a whole. Like why I am fighting so hard for people who obviously dont care nor see the value in me.
This was me and I realized that loving people isn't wrong, but loving the wrong people comes with pain ... you are not a weak person, but we deserved the same energy.... BUT IF WE CAN GIVE IT TO OTHERS WE CAN GIVE IT TO GOD AND SELF.... SENDING LOVE YOUR WAY
You’re so right about not wanting to leave a job for benefits when in actuality the job is the reason we have the high blood pressure to need the benefits in the first place 😩 imagine how much healthier we’d me as a society without work as it exists in our society
Oh wow! That's REALLY generous of you. I'm so glad that what I share resonates. My goal is always to be honest, uplift and love. Much love and joy to you!
Another thing that many think but are too afraid to say out loud. My sister you are overwhelmingly my shero! Fear is a very powerful motivator, and we speak of faith, but we do not actually live faithfully in the belief systems we speak off. THIS IS BRAVERY IN ITS TRUEST FORM, living in the faith you speak of. IF you really believe it, why is it so difficult to live? NEVER STOP EXPLORING THE TRUTH MY SISTAR!!!!
LESLYN!!!! You are SO good to me!!! Thank you so muuuuuch! And I agree, we say a lot of things we don't actually LIVE. I really want to live that thing. I don't want to be a liar. I wanna be honest about it all.
I’m happy for you embarking on this journey sis. It’s not easy but it’s worth it. I’ve also unsubscribed to this world and clung onto God and what He has for me because I did the career thing, I made the money but I was far from happy. Once I fully accepted God into my life I have pure joy, peace and love that exceeds all understanding despite all the losses. The losses were worldly therefore mean nothing to me for my treasures are above💜
Thank you for speaking on this ❤🙌🏽I recently had to walk away from my career because it was literally killing me. Panic attacks, depression, high blood pressure, no energy daily and constant headaches. I had to take a leap because clearly my body was telling me that was no longer the right path for me. Some people will get it and some won’t until it’s too late. Keep walking this path because you are helping women see it’s possible to thrive once letting go! ❤
Giiiirl I lived in my car for 10 months and it felt soooo freee and yes things will align always and God makes a way EVERY time you take that leap of faith 🙏🏽💯 I resonate with you 🪞✨✨✨
I’m so happy u are living in your truth. I know for me I’m moving to Mexico and moving into my life of where I want to be than old goals and dreams. What makes me happy has changed and I’m done with survival mode. I say move in your car. Enjoy where u at and don’t overthink it. U got this beauty ❤
You are always so kind and amazing to me. Thank you so muuuuch! And I'll be moving to Mexico next year (if all goes well), and I COMPLETELY feel you!!! I want you to THRIVE!!!! Thank you so much. Your generosity is healing.
@@AleciaRenece yassss excited for u... Regardless if it's next year .. try for a summer even or weeks.... It'll motive more ❤️❤️❤️ ...kinds words always Queen 👑
@@AleciaRenece u have healed so many women specifically black women. U say things outloud that I write in my journal. We're trying to figure it out. Remember u don't need to know each step. Keep moving your feet. Just like climbing stairs. We don't look down... it's natural. But the main focus is to enjoy the journey getting there. Manage our minds with being comfortable with uncomfortablity. ❤️❤️❤️
I could write a letter on how much this resonated with me. Thank you so much sis. I am on such a similar path of healing I'm so glad you took the time to make this. From your fellow eccentric aka. weirdo !
TESS FROM THE US!!!!! Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Ayyyyyyyyyyye! Shout out to the Weirdos and Eccentrics in the worrrld! Much love and joy to you on your healing journey, darlin'!!! 💛💛💛💛💛
Becoming homeless was one of the BEST things that ever happened to me, because it led to me being freed from 25 years of parental abuse & virtual isolation. Before, during, & after my time of homelessness God led me to let a lot of things go - possessions, relationships, ideas... It was a pruning season. After a pruning season new things - better things - can grow & grow freely. The Bible says to seek first the Kingdom of God & His righteousness & all other things will be added to you. I believe that the Kingdom of God is not only a literal place, but also a state of mind - that faith like a child, joyous, peaceful, contented state - and from that state comes healing. Less is actually more & with God you are sufficient in ALL things at ALL times. I recently started a new job that I love & it has been an answer to prayer. Within the last few weeks I've realized that I had been holding on to a version of myself & ideas about how I thought my life was meant to go from two years ago, and that holding so tightly to all of that & valuing that preconceived notion was holding me back from fully experiencing this new season of my life that I am currently living in. I want to live in my present instead of my past or future. I had to let some more things go - not in anger, but in love - to lovingly lay those old memories, ideas, & dreams to rest because they no longer are helpful to the version of me that is alive right now. I pray that you will find freedom, peace, safety, & joy on your journey always. 🙏❤
Also, I stayed in my previous job too long even though I wanted to leave and try something new that was more in line with who I am & my personal values & personal needs. I felt for months that I should leave, but then I kept hanging on because I felt obligated to & hoped things would get better, but with each month that passed things only got worse. I was so stressed out & unhappy & I began experiencing physical health problems. I would cry before work & while I was at work I would be praying to God, "God, when will You make a way for me to leave? When can I be done with this job?!" And I felt His spirit tell me, "You can be done whenever YOU decide to be done. Whenever you trust Me enough to let go. Whenever you trust Me enough to provide for you." I finally let go & God did sustain me & provide for me for what turned out to be nine months time! I always had enough & resources were tight a few times, but I always had enough. God made plenty of ways. I had to wait a while for the new job I really wanted, but God sustained me then too & when He decided it was time for me to begin again, everything fell into place. God is SO good & He's shown Himself strong so many times for me this year & yet I still struggle with trusting Him sometimes... I'm aware of that & trying to work on it. I am still trying to grasp the concept of His unconditional love & neverending love & endless resources. I think that comes from experiencing toxic conditional love from the world & the false concept of trying to make myself "useful enough" to earn love & inclusion.
"You can be done whenever YOU decide to be done. Whenever you trust Me enough to let go. Whenever you trust Me enough to provide for you." P H E W. I am in tears. This caused me to weep. Your testimony is PHEW! Thank you so much for sharing this. I needed to read ALL of this! THANK YOU. It's like I've been saying, "God HELP me. Don't you see me?!" And He's been saying exactly what you said above. There is so many of us suffering and I feel that pain. If we could just let what is killing us go... God is the Source. He adds no sorrow to His blessing.
@@AleciaRenece Thank you SO much for sharing this, Alecia!! Your words blessed my heart & were a confirmation to me - sometimes I question myself when it comes to sharing things about my life, but I'm trying to be brave with that & follow the Holy Spirit's leading when I deeply feel I need to share, so I'm glad you found my comment encouraging - that strengthens my faith that God is working through my life & what I can share matters. 🙏 Yes, let go of the things that are killing us - the things the world says you must have or care about. Your personal peace & joy & life are what matters! No "thing" in this life is truly "real" anyway. When you said, "Maybe things fell apart because God loved you" - that hit me deep! Everything I thought I new about my life completely changed & seemingly fell apart two years ago, but also because my life was broken it could finally be healed. If I believe that God has GOOD plans for me, to bless me with prosperity, hope, & a future with Him on Earth & in Heaven, then there truly is nothing to fear! This is our Father's world & our "home" is in His heart & wherever on this planet we may roam. ❤
felt ALL that you said. I've felt alot of things falling a part in the last few years..however, I'm grateful in the midst because I have grown, and continue to get more clarity with my relationship with God, how he sees me, and how I want to be in relationship with others while showing up in the world. Again, thank you for sharing your heart with us 💛
I’m literally here right now realizing things are falling apart for my greater good!! God knows what I don’t know and I can’t control how things go. I have to fix the way I think and control issues to fix things that are broken
I’m currently deciding if I want to continue in relationships with my siblings. I’ve proven to be a “good sister” for decades but I’m not willing to sacrifice my mental health based off loyalty, disrespect, apathy. At 51 I’m learning that was the little girl in me looking to be liked, validated, approved and accepted. I want to manifest relationships that support and encourage me instead of it always being one sided. What will life look like for me without holding onto to these relationships? Thank you for another epic video!
You have to do what's best for you. You're rejecting the Beast System is a brave thing. If living in your car makes you happy, DO YOU! When Gautama Buddha rejected his luxurious life, he became an ascetic and was homeless. He made it his mission to let go on material possessions and dedicate his life to enlightenment. The community feed him and his disciples. I look forward to a point in my life where I let go of attachment to material. Lucky for you, you're already there! 😊 Just be safe out there, Alecia! 🥺🥺🥺 There's so many crazy evil folks out here preying on the homeless as well as those living in a home, so I hope you are safe in your car!
That is such beautiful encouragement. I never knew this. Thank you so much for sharing! And absolutely! I will definitely be as safe as I possibly can be! Thank you for always being so kind to me.
Well said. It is dangerous out there. Fortunately, she’s not completely alone. Her husband can also help to keep her safe. (At first I thought she was out there on her own. I’m glad she’s not.)
I’ve had to undergo a similar exercise. I found I have to do it every few years. It’s almost like a reboot that helps me re-align so that I’m walking my path more closely with my own truths. For me, living in a car is extreme, however simplifying your lifestyle is healthy and very necessary if you are feeling stuck or caged. When your abdominal system is clogged, you need to detox. Simplifying and letting go of unnecessary possessions, ideas, associations clears your mind, your body, heart and spirit. Don’t wait until you’re burned out to do it. Make it a part of your way of life. Thanks for sharing and being so transparent.
Yes some things should fail because they were never meant to be built in the first place 🙏🏿💕 As human beings we have the capacity, creativity and resilience to change this world and create a better standard of living and quality of life. Where we take care of those who are vulnerable and empower them 🙏🏿
I use to feel that way to, that I wasn’t enough and that I needed to behave in a certain way to be loved or enough. But I realized that I HAVE to live for myself. Your life is really yours to live.
@@AleciaRenece I didn't know that other black women felt this way. I am over exposed to white women who have the freedom to show up in work and their families truly as they are but I feel like black women continue to play into respectability politics and there being only one acceptable way to be a black female human and its weird
Listening to this helps me on my journey. It makes me think of what I perceive as "failure" as something that's actually meant by God. He's in control. 🙏🏽Thanks for this...be blessed! ❤️ Btw, I love those glasses. 💯
I had a major anxiety attack on yesterday in my car at work. After screaming I just can't, I decided 30 day notice starts now!!! This was confirmation. This is not the life God wants for me. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
Last year 2023 I did not renew my least I out everything in storage and lived in my SUV for 10months I cleared my kind by driving the whole country divorced my wife and I worked a full time job out of my car. It was what I needed I am a full spirit. It was definitely rewarding. When I need to really rest I got a hotel for a few days and relaxed but I definitely felt free and less stressful. Do what makes your heart feel good and on purpose. It was easy for me living in my car Because I am also a truck driver and been sleeping in many parking lots across the country after dropping my load…..I feel alone in the world but I am happy and have learned to do what feeds my soul…..so do that for yourself
I live in my car. I used to live in my truck(18 wheeler) for two years. It’s the same except no microwave and mini fridge. I’m currently working on a business I can do anywhere in the world instead of clocking into this job.
I love this! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! And I'm hoping that you are able to build your business with ease, joy and peace (and much abundance)!!!
Yess, trusting ourselves in a society that constantly tries to convince us to question our intuition is not easy! We have sooo much power - and that's why these mind tricks are being deployed. I'm hearing this message to let go too 🤎
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!! MARISSA!!! YEEEEEEEEEES! It's definitely not easy. And it's so easy to get sucked back in. Thank you so much for always being so open and kind! And thank you for the reminder that this is why these things keep popping up. Much love to you!!!
Paused at 12:03 "I'm not moved by it. I couldn't care less." perfectly reflects my feelings as well. I wished more ppl spent more time self-actualising themselves, like you do. Depth, self-discovery, learning, meaningful relationships, immersive experiences, feeling deeply, being of service to others etc are far more valuable pursuit than the value we attach to trinkets, material possessions and certificates. Great segment as always 💐💐.
Thank you Alecia for your warmth and honesty. I was in the woods near me this morning, and I had many of the same thoughts you expressed today. I won't write more, just want to say I agree with you and I'm on the same sort of path. I don't fit in and I'm happy. You are a blessing❤
I always love your content, But this one hit different. I thank you for being transparent and Is invulnerable and living in your purpose. You are so wise and you're helping Change the world with your videos alone. You should be so very proud of yourself your honesty and your journey in this lifetimeYou should be so very proud of yourself & your journey in this lifetime
😭💛 my heeeeeeart! Thank you so very much. This means so much to me. Sometimes we can't see our progress because we're so close up on it, and we need people who can see (you) to remind us of what we forgot. Thank you so much for seeing me and celebrating me... AND for reminding me to celebrate myself. Much love and joy to you. Thank you so much.
You speaking truth again. U is speaking my falling life as u speak. Everything has fallen apart. The job at the PO, the car getting repoed, everything; and this is the 2nd time I lve felt freedom. At first I was like I hate this unknown but God is opening my eyes to his vision for my life. So thanks for telling me my OWN STORY. LOL
I'm looking at all these beautiful comments giving you Kudos, agreeing strongly with you, Hi fives and an Amen. All are testaments of your voice's significant affect on the masses, and here's mine too! ...👍♥️🙏👏
I messed around and tried to like this video a second time! 😂. The way you are affirming, giving permission to, and freeing so many; you deserve the world! In whatever capacity that is that makes YOU HAPPY!
God is the source. Trust. 🌱🕊️🌊🙏🏽🌄🌲🦋🐾🧘thank u for this healing heart truth. Letting go. Many deep connections experienced here, im greatful. May this flow and trust expand and heal so many human animals 🙏🏽.
👍🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾... YUP!!... @ the title... let it fall apart ... so you can build a BETTER ONE!!!... I'm in the BUILDING BETTER part of my walk now... I can tell you from experience... it's NOT easy AT ALL ... sounds cliché... but it TRULY is ALWAYS worth it in the end... just keep reminding yourself of this as you're walking on this journey of "Breaking yourself down, to build yourself higher up"... less people or even NO PEOPLE around or in your life will be NECESSARY... Stick with it ALLLL THE WAY THROUGH!! 😊👍🏾
I quit my professional career... traded lots of money and prestige for my mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. Yes, I lost all my friends (but most were covert bullies actually), my family couldn't and still can't make sense of it... but when I say I blossomed. It was worth it. Even when I didn't know where money was coming from, I was less stressed than when I had a six-figure salary because the only stress was rent and not my job performance, maintaining pretences, and so on. I no longer felt existential ennui-- it was replaced with existential curiosity. The "dream track" really is not for everyone because the Most High didn't give us all the same dream. I found people who actually understand me when I stopped trying to fit in and pretending to be happy with all the meaningless stuff that "everyone" is supposed to want. Thank you for this video cos sometimes I forget amidst the inundation of society's ideas and voices against my small one.
Every word, sentence, description, example you shared resonated with me 100%!!! It's miraculous that you just popped up on my YT page to reaffirm the corrected of my journey. And you shared so eloquently exactly what I have been feeling about my life for the past 4 years. "It's ok to let go." Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽
I have children to care for, pets to care for, elderly parents to care for, property to maintain. Living in my car is not an option but that carefree teenage dream sounds nice. 💖
Yes. I’m reading Tricia’s book and it’s really speaking to how I’m currently feeling. It’s inspiring me to make changes and surrender and not be so forceful. Trusting Spirit and flowing is something I am working on too. Thank you so much for sharing this message ❤
Yeah holding on is a destroyer...especially relationship that was never meant to be.....and the good guy that was always there was maybe the right one....who knows....i let go...i breathe again......im in peace
I was feeling this lost in 2018 and lived in my car. It showed me how litttle I needed but it motivated me because it gave me time to think because I was no longer working so hard to pay for the life I was living. I’m now in a position I couldn’t imagine because I had that mental break. I still struggle but I’m glad I did it. If living in a car isn’t for you, find the best way lower your monthly expenses so you can get ahead. Downgrade that car and get a cheaper apartment. Work towards your real goals and don’t be afraid of what ppl think
Thank you for your transparency. I too have had to learn how to trust God and I am still learning how to trust God because of my past issues. He does love and want us to trust Him. I really enjoy your channel. Be blessed, D. Elaine
Trust God “not doing anything by my own effort or own might to get things done” A WORD 🙌🏽 I had to realize, yes I’m intelligent but God is definitely way more than I am and letting go of the HOW and stop tryna figure shit out myself has helped my anxiety immensely!
This is so relatable. I moved out of my expensive California apartment last year and it was the best decision ever. This year I've actually had time and energy to think about what I want for my life, instead of stressing out about how to pay rent every month. Letting go is scary, but I believe it's necessary to get you on the path to the life you were meant to have all along. Thank you for sharing your insight 🙏🏾
So serendipitous to have come across this video after making the commitment to give up “productivity” or “doing” today, for a while - it’s time to allow myself to rest. I’ve been in survival mode my whole life and I want to learn trust, full faith in God, and what better way than by finally listening to the nudges that have been saying it’s okay to be, you are safe to just be. My mantra lately is “I am safe and secure in the unknown because I trust and serve God”. I so welcome deep healing. And what a relief. I wish all who need it rest and slowness and flow, and the relief of settling into a place of being whatever you are each day, each given moment - fluid and malleable ❤ Thank you for this msg 🙏
Exactly God was here before we were anyways so all we have to do is believe and see with not just our eyes but with our souls! We need to undo this hold the mundane world has had on us, it’s not easy but starting is the healthy starting of beginning.
omg, you spoke to my soul. we are all not meant for or destined the 9-5, climbing the corporate ladder or doing the grunt work and not being appreciated. i’m doing some deep soul searching at this point in my life, discovering what’s most important- my mental health and peace of mind which is connected to my physical health. i’m coming up with a plan for how i can leave the 9-5 world and sustain a peaceful and more purposeful (whatever that will mean for me, personally) life.
I've been binge watching your videos for the past 2 days, everything you said has been resonating so deeply with what I found out for myself. I'm so excited to see what can grow out of living in creation instead of survival.That. shit is DEAD! I'm doing it differently moving forward
Alecia you always speak such wisdom! I let it all go months ago. I live day by day and I have never been happier. I'm no longer looking for a dream career because I don't dream of labor. This used to keep me up at night, and I let go of that too. I'm not scared for what's to come. I even said if I go homeless, I'll be happy, because I know that I am where I am supposed to be. Life is a beautiful mystery and I'm happy that it's kept as one
I felt like I was the only one who felt this way! The people I talk to don't understand this concept of letting go and flowing. I stumbled across your video and I couldn't help but smile the whole time because now I know im not the only one being pulled into the unknown of letting everything fall apart and trust that it will all work out.. I'm not apart of any religion.. I don't believe In God.. but ive been on a 2 year spiritual journey of just trying find my destiny. I believe my intuition is the Key to finding it. I am finally learning how to trust my intuition and follow it....and ive been feeling the urge to let go and trust it will all work out. It's scary as hell, but after a year of stewing on the concept, i feel actually ready now and excited to do it!! It took literally a year of fighting with my own fears to be able to get comfortable with just the thought of letting go!! I believe life isnt supposed to be a predictable mundane boring repetitive life. I just feel the same way as you in this video. Thank you so much for posting. It's so comforting to know someone else out there is heading down this scary but exciting path. ❤❤❤ 😊 I'm ready 💪
Currently reading / listening to the audiobook of Rest as Resistance based on your recommendation and it’s one of the best books I’ve read / listened to in a long time! 📖 So so so happy the algorithm brought your channel to my UA-cam feed, you have a loyal subscriber & listener ❤ I have very early childhood memories of always identifying as a socialist / communist leaning and not understanding how everyone doesn’t see that capitalism is the root of all evil. None of my friends or family get it. I’m so glad that UA-cam can connect those of us with the same worldview 🙏🏻
In letting go I've realized that we are a part of nature. That just as the birds and trees, and flowers and ants are being provided for simply by doing what is instinctual to them, so too can we experience that abundance of having everything we need in that moment by simply living as who we were meant to live annd as you said living in flow
Girl I love your videos, so much of what you share resonates with me. You inspire and encourage me to keep on keeping on. I’m not cray. Bless you and thank you for sharing, 💝
Wow, this talk was incredibly inspirational and insightful and would way rather listen to your channel than any mainstream motivational preaching I’ve ever heard
Everything you spoke resonated with me....thank youuuuuu for all the authenticity. This is the first video where I truly connected with the other person. A true blessing. I will be replaying this video over and over.
“Maybe living in my car is better for my mental health” 🙌🏾👏🏾 sis! Everyone ain’t there yet. People won’t get it, but I’m so happy for you for realizing the freedom that comes with just letting go. Proud of you!!!
I'm feeling the same way .. steadily letting go until It all comes together!
I felt the freest when I was homeless.
I been so interested in car life too...
I can relate! I bought a van so I can continue to travel and live in it too! 😁
This reminds me when I was homeless. I was sleeping in the airport, and I slept outside a couple of times--
But I truly learned what community could be & how resourceful I could be. It's like everytime I was about to really give up, someone magically appeared & gave me what I needed to keep going.
Those nights I was starving & Ethiopian women came and gave me what I needed..those were the times where I found what true joy was; how losing so much simultaneously made me realize I actually lost nothing. I was simply attached to things that really weren't serving me.
Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share this. ❤ God always makes ways to provide.
@@JacquesChevon literally went thru the same exact thing. We do really serve the God of abundance. Never went without. Lots of tough situations but so much growth from pling yourself up from the bottom
@@jonathanjack1000 Absolutely! 😊❤️
Thank you again for the powerful medicine. I faced living in my car in 2018 and I let go. I lived in a tent for almost two years and it’s when I had a living experience of being supported by spirit and by humans. I used to be proud of doing it alone and Life broke me open. A simpler life allows more time to just be. I watched Stephanie Perry last week and she said write yourself a permission slip and I did. I give myself permission to work as little as possible. I give myself permission to feel safe. I give myself permission to receive!!
Same...and then I finally realise I never needed those people..those things
💐💛🌺🫂 Yeeeeeeeeeees!
"We don't like who we are but yet we're fighting so hard for things that don't make us well..." Phewww that one struck a chord
Constant Self Celebration reinforces self value. It builds healthy self esteem
i’m working towards dumping my bills & my apartment permanently… also considering leaving the country (south africa) & completely abandoning modern life for something simpler and more heart centred
Every time I had an apartment I felt like I was paying for an expensive closet. I’m a homebody I like to be at home. I felt I never got to because I had to work for the place 😂😂
@ALPHAROYCE YEEEEES! We're prepping to leave the country too. We need a change of pace, culture and priority. I am SO excited for you!!!
exactly where im at
There is so much freedom in letting go. The more I loosen my grip the happier I've become💜
Yes! I'm learning the same!
This is such a brave post. I love it. Most people would be scared to say these truths. I have lived without a home for 4 years while traveling the world and just having faith that things will fall into place. It's been amazing. So much less stress and so much adventure and growth. No rent. No consumerism. I lived out of my carry on luggage. And lived far better than I did when I had an apartment and all the stuff and stress. I lived in mansions for free while traveling, but I'd been holding on to my studio apartment for years, not knowing I could have a far better life experience.
That season is coming to an end, but I'm so glad I followed God's leading and chose an unconventional life. I'm glad I've learned to trust what I need. I've rarely had a "regular" desk 9-5 because that's not how I'm designed. Listening to ourselves and God changes everything.
Listening to this had me teary eyed, this message truly blessed me today. Everyone around me constantly tells me I’m too hard on myself, I overcommit, I hustle to achieve, I people-please and all for what?! PLEASE continue to share messages like these. The world needs you 💜
LOL, I too was not born to fit in, I have figured out that I am frustrated all the time because while many say and treat me like an extrovert, im actually an introvert. I am anxious all the time and so I decided to stay away to keep myself from being anxious all the time. Then I was happier, and I could finally breathe. While I love my job, I do not want to be stagnant, and travel is a huge part of my preferred life. I too am starting to do things only that I want to do and taking everything in stride so that I can lead my dream life.
I LOVE this so muuuuch, Leslyn!!!!! YEEEEEES! And shout out to all of us who never fit in!!!
10:15 Its a mental game, we keep working with the hopes to one day not having to struggle, problem being, that day never comes...
Being in alignment is 🔑 I agree with everything you said. I have a saying, “Don’t force jeans, relationships, or ponytails.” PERIOD! Be in flow. Let goooo. Over the past few months I’ve let go of friendships that I’ve had well over 10 years. It was very painful, but I realized that they were no longer serving me & I was holding on out of fear of “what if there’s nothing greater later?” Our body & our soul constantly speaks to us, giving us messages/signs. It knows. The mind just has a hard time catching up sometimes bcz of all of the UNlearning we have to do. Thank you for allowing us to see your life “falling apart,” only to be put back together where it’s intended to be💜
I live in my car and I've never been happier 😌..I love my life, compared to where I was 6 years ago. Those materials things in life means nothing.
YEEEEES! I am here for all of it. When we were sleeping in our car, I felt so infinite. I felt so FREE.
I battle depression stemming from domestic PTSD. I've been divorced for 30 yrs, he died a few months ago, but still, I struggle. I struggle horribly with self-esteem. Finances are always, always an issue. I am a sm business, independent contractor. My business fell apart 30 yrs ago, but I limp along. I've tried all sorts of different jobs, still staying with my nail business. Each job always ended. Door closed. I have no idea what God has in store for me. I take it day by day. I slept in my car a few times, escaping a bad situation in bad relationship. Starting, staying, finally escaping, no self-esteem. I felt I was not worth more than that. Stemming from my parents who made sure that I felt not worth more than that. At almost 60 yrs, I struggle to find where I fit in. I find myself always looking in instead of being a part of. I like hearing you talk. I find it gives me clarity to just be. T9 breath. Think of positive things, ideas. To walk quietly in the moment. The path of life is long, crooked and filled with pot holes. You help me to know I am not so alone. I can be strong in my own self-worth, take a small step, then another, then another. We are just taking those tentative steps, hopefully in the direction God wants us to take, to find our path, be all we are created to be.
In my opinion, letting go is the most courageous thing we can do. Thank you for this video. Blessings and peace 💜
YEEEEEEEEEEEES, COLETTE!!!! I completely agree!!!!!! It's scary to let go, but freeing! Much love to you!!! (I still wanna collab by the way! LOL)
It's a blessing to be able to let go!! I feel very blessed because I have let go and have been abundantly blessed by the people The Most High put in my life.
🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽
YASSSSS
I am living proof of this. I had a great paying job, paying ridiculous rent in a big city. Working to survive. Last year I put all my shit in storage, left my job and moved into my SUV and traveled. Now I'm in a place I never thought I'd be, with people who understand my lifestyle, and away from the rat race. I never would have chosen this for myself, but my higher power knew what I needed. I had to let go of EVERYTHING and let the universe lead me. Fear was real, but once you make the leap it's beautiful. Trust that you will be taken care of. I'm sooooooooo happy for you. Nature really heals. 🥰
Thank you for these raw, real conversations! There are some people out here literately working just to pay bills, buy more stuff and keep up appearances. I spoke about something similar in a video I posted this morning - focus on what YOUR soul and spirit needs, then figure out how to get there.
Oop! Lemme follow you! We need more truth tellers! Thank you so much for being so kind and generous!
"nature is my medicine" I literally had that exact thought this past week.
I hear you!
Your point on fighting for people hit me so hard. In my later years, Ive been ACTIVELY and INTENTIONALLY trying to preserve my relationships and Its all been pointless because these people really didn't care as much as I thought they did. I thought I would be a better person if I fought for the relationships, something I never did growing up and now I resent the fact that I allowed people to change the way I did things. Like you mentioned, I was trying to convince them that I was a good thing and stay and when it inevitably failed, it affected how i viewed myself as a whole. Like why I am fighting so hard for people who obviously dont care nor see the value in me.
This was me and I realized that loving people isn't wrong, but loving the wrong people comes with pain ... you are not a weak person, but we deserved the same energy.... BUT IF WE CAN GIVE IT TO OTHERS WE CAN GIVE IT TO GOD AND SELF.... SENDING LOVE YOUR WAY
You both are speaking FACTS! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
You’re so right about not wanting to leave a job for benefits when in actuality the job is the reason we have the high blood pressure to need the benefits in the first place 😩 imagine how much healthier we’d me as a society without work as it exists in our society
You've highkey have become a motivational speaker to me. You have a way of words and describe everything I've been feeling. Thank you. 🙏🏾
Oh wow! That's REALLY generous of you. I'm so glad that what I share resonates. My goal is always to be honest, uplift and love. Much love and joy to you!
Lol she said I am an Alien. Girl I’m a outkast too and weird and always get found out I felt that
This was an an entire word. I feel blessed hearing this.
I'm SO grateful this resonated with you!!! Much love and joy to you!
@@AleciaRenece Thankyou! To be honest Alecia, your videos have gotten me through this year. Grateful for you sis! Infinite blessings ❤️
Another thing that many think but are too afraid to say out loud. My sister you are overwhelmingly my shero! Fear is a very powerful motivator, and we speak of faith, but we do not actually live faithfully in the belief systems we speak off. THIS IS BRAVERY IN ITS TRUEST FORM, living in the faith you speak of. IF you really believe it, why is it so difficult to live? NEVER STOP EXPLORING THE TRUTH MY SISTAR!!!!
LESLYN!!!! You are SO good to me!!! Thank you so muuuuuch! And I agree, we say a lot of things we don't actually LIVE. I really want to live that thing. I don't want to be a liar. I wanna be honest about it all.
I’m happy for you embarking on this journey sis. It’s not easy but it’s worth it. I’ve also unsubscribed to this world and clung onto God and what He has for me because I did the career thing, I made the money but I was far from happy. Once I fully accepted God into my life I have pure joy, peace and love that exceeds all understanding despite all the losses. The losses were worldly therefore mean nothing to me for my treasures are above💜
Thank you for speaking on this ❤🙌🏽I recently had to walk away from my career because it was literally killing me. Panic attacks, depression, high blood pressure, no energy daily and constant headaches. I had to take a leap because clearly my body was telling me that was no longer the right path for me. Some people will get it and some won’t until it’s too late. Keep walking this path because you are helping women see it’s possible to thrive once letting go! ❤
Giiiirl I lived in my car for 10 months and it felt soooo freee and yes things will align always and God makes a way EVERY time you take that leap of faith 🙏🏽💯 I resonate with you 🪞✨✨✨
Thank you so much for sharing this. This is encouraging!!! Much love to you!
How wonderful! Your wisdom at your young age is anointed.💜
Wow. I'm humbled and I thank God. Thank you so much for being so kind and generous! 💛🌺🌞🌻
I’m so happy u are living in your truth. I know for me I’m moving to Mexico and moving into my life of where I want to be than old goals and dreams. What makes me happy has changed and I’m done with survival mode. I say move in your car. Enjoy where u at and don’t overthink it. U got this beauty ❤
You are always so kind and amazing to me. Thank you so muuuuch! And I'll be moving to Mexico next year (if all goes well), and I COMPLETELY feel you!!! I want you to THRIVE!!!! Thank you so much. Your generosity is healing.
@@AleciaRenece yassss excited for u... Regardless if it's next year .. try for a summer even or weeks.... It'll motive more ❤️❤️❤️ ...kinds words always Queen 👑
@@AleciaRenece u have healed so many women specifically black women. U say things outloud that I write in my journal. We're trying to figure it out. Remember u don't need to know each step. Keep moving your feet. Just like climbing stairs. We don't look down... it's natural. But the main focus is to enjoy the journey getting there. Manage our minds with being comfortable with uncomfortablity. ❤️❤️❤️
I could write a letter on how much this resonated with me. Thank you so much sis. I am on such a similar path of healing I'm so glad you took the time to make this. From your fellow eccentric aka. weirdo !
TESS FROM THE US!!!!! Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Ayyyyyyyyyyye! Shout out to the Weirdos and Eccentrics in the worrrld! Much love and joy to you on your healing journey, darlin'!!! 💛💛💛💛💛
Becoming homeless was one of the BEST things that ever happened to me, because it led to me being freed from 25 years of parental abuse & virtual isolation. Before, during, & after my time of homelessness God led me to let a lot of things go - possessions, relationships, ideas... It was a pruning season. After a pruning season new things - better things - can grow & grow freely. The Bible says to seek first the Kingdom of God & His righteousness & all other things will be added to you. I believe that the Kingdom of God is not only a literal place, but also a state of mind - that faith like a child, joyous, peaceful, contented state - and from that state comes healing. Less is actually more & with God you are sufficient in ALL things at ALL times.
I recently started a new job that I love & it has been an answer to prayer. Within the last few weeks I've realized that I had been holding on to a version of myself & ideas about how I thought my life was meant to go from two years ago, and that holding so tightly to all of that & valuing that preconceived notion was holding me back from fully experiencing this new season of my life that I am currently living in. I want to live in my present instead of my past or future. I had to let some more things go - not in anger, but in love - to lovingly lay those old memories, ideas, & dreams to rest because they no longer are helpful to the version of me that is alive right now.
I pray that you will find freedom, peace, safety, & joy on your journey always. 🙏❤
Also, I stayed in my previous job too long even though I wanted to leave and try something new that was more in line with who I am & my personal values & personal needs. I felt for months that I should leave, but then I kept hanging on because I felt obligated to & hoped things would get better, but with each month that passed things only got worse. I was so stressed out & unhappy & I began experiencing physical health problems. I would cry before work & while I was at work I would be praying to God, "God, when will You make a way for me to leave? When can I be done with this job?!" And I felt His spirit tell me, "You can be done whenever YOU decide to be done. Whenever you trust Me enough to let go. Whenever you trust Me enough to provide for you." I finally let go & God did sustain me & provide for me for what turned out to be nine months time! I always had enough & resources were tight a few times, but I always had enough. God made plenty of ways. I had to wait a while for the new job I really wanted, but God sustained me then too & when He decided it was time for me to begin again, everything fell into place. God is SO good & He's shown Himself strong so many times for me this year & yet I still struggle with trusting Him sometimes... I'm aware of that & trying to work on it. I am still trying to grasp the concept of His unconditional love & neverending love & endless resources. I think that comes from experiencing toxic conditional love from the world & the false concept of trying to make myself "useful enough" to earn love & inclusion.
"You can be done whenever YOU decide to be done. Whenever you trust Me enough to let go. Whenever you trust Me enough to provide for you." P H E W. I am in tears. This caused me to weep. Your testimony is PHEW! Thank you so much for sharing this. I needed to read ALL of this! THANK YOU. It's like I've been saying, "God HELP me. Don't you see me?!" And He's been saying exactly what you said above. There is so many of us suffering and I feel that pain. If we could just let what is killing us go... God is the Source. He adds no sorrow to His blessing.
@@AleciaRenece Thank you SO much for sharing this, Alecia!! Your words blessed my heart & were a confirmation to me - sometimes I question myself when it comes to sharing things about my life, but I'm trying to be brave with that & follow the Holy Spirit's leading when I deeply feel I need to share, so I'm glad you found my comment encouraging - that strengthens my faith that God is working through my life & what I can share matters. 🙏 Yes, let go of the things that are killing us - the things the world says you must have or care about. Your personal peace & joy & life are what matters! No "thing" in this life is truly "real" anyway. When you said, "Maybe things fell apart because God loved you" - that hit me deep! Everything I thought I new about my life completely changed & seemingly fell apart two years ago, but also because my life was broken it could finally be healed. If I believe that God has GOOD plans for me, to bless me with prosperity, hope, & a future with Him on Earth & in Heaven, then there truly is nothing to fear! This is our Father's world & our "home" is in His heart & wherever on this planet we may roam. ❤
felt ALL that you said. I've felt alot of things falling a part in the last few years..however, I'm grateful in the midst because I have grown, and continue to get more clarity with my relationship with God, how he sees me, and how I want to be in relationship with others while showing up in the world. Again, thank you for sharing your heart with us 💛
Thank you so much for sharing with us!!! It really means a lot. Much love and joy to you!
This message was right on time.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Thank you so so so so so much!!!
I’m literally here right now realizing things are falling apart for my greater good!! God knows what I don’t know and I can’t control how things go. I have to fix the way I think and control issues to fix things that are broken
I’m currently deciding if I want to continue in relationships with my siblings. I’ve proven to be a “good sister” for decades but I’m not willing to sacrifice my mental health based off loyalty, disrespect, apathy. At 51 I’m learning that was the little girl in me looking to be liked, validated, approved and accepted. I want to manifest relationships that support and encourage me instead of it always being one sided. What will life look like for me without holding onto to these relationships? Thank you for another epic video!
Beautiful and exactly where I am ❤
You have to do what's best for you. You're rejecting the Beast System is a brave thing. If living in your car makes you happy, DO YOU! When Gautama Buddha rejected his luxurious life, he became an ascetic and was homeless. He made it his mission to let go on material possessions and dedicate his life to enlightenment. The community feed him and his disciples. I look forward to a point in my life where I let go of attachment to material. Lucky for you, you're already there! 😊
Just be safe out there, Alecia! 🥺🥺🥺 There's so many crazy evil folks out here preying on the homeless as well as those living in a home, so I hope you are safe in your car!
That is such beautiful encouragement. I never knew this. Thank you so much for sharing! And absolutely! I will definitely be as safe as I possibly can be! Thank you for always being so kind to me.
Well said.
It is dangerous out there. Fortunately, she’s not completely alone. Her husband can also help to keep her safe. (At first I thought she was out there on her own. I’m glad she’s not.)
Things that fall apart were never supposed to be built in the 1st place. Love that💜
All I can say is thank you🥺♥️
I’ve had to undergo a similar exercise. I found I have to do it every few years. It’s almost like a reboot that helps me re-align so that I’m walking my path more closely with my own truths. For me, living in a car is extreme, however simplifying your lifestyle is healthy and very necessary if you are feeling stuck or caged. When your abdominal system is clogged, you need to detox. Simplifying and letting go of unnecessary possessions, ideas, associations clears your mind, your body, heart and spirit. Don’t wait until you’re burned out to do it. Make it a part of your way of life. Thanks for sharing and being so transparent.
Yes some things should fail because they were never meant to be built in the first place 🙏🏿💕 As human beings we have the capacity, creativity and resilience to change this world and create a better standard of living and quality of life. Where we take care of those who are vulnerable and empower them 🙏🏿
I use to feel that way to, that I wasn’t enough and that I needed to behave in a certain way to be loved or enough. But I realized that I HAVE to live for myself. Your life is really yours to live.
YEEEEEEEEEEES! Thank you so much for sharing that with us!!!
@@AleciaRenece I didn't know that other black women felt this way. I am over exposed to white women who have the freedom to show up in work and their families truly as they are but I feel like black women continue to play into respectability politics and there being only one acceptable way to be a black female human and its weird
Listening to this helps me on my journey. It makes me think of what I perceive as "failure" as something that's actually meant by God. He's in control. 🙏🏽Thanks for this...be blessed! ❤️ Btw, I love those glasses. 💯
😍🙌🏾
I had a major anxiety attack on yesterday in my car at work. After screaming I just can't, I decided 30 day notice starts now!!!
This was confirmation. This is not the life God wants for me.
Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
Last year 2023 I did not renew my least I out everything in storage and lived in my SUV for 10months I cleared my kind by driving the whole country divorced my wife and I worked a full time job out of my car. It was what I needed I am a full spirit. It was definitely rewarding. When I need to really rest I got a hotel for a few days and relaxed but I definitely felt free and less stressful. Do what makes your heart feel good and on purpose. It was easy for me living in my car Because I am also a truck driver and been sleeping in many parking lots across the country after dropping my load…..I feel alone in the world but I am happy and have learned to do what feeds my soul…..so do that for yourself

Yess, trusting ourselves in a society that constantly tries to convince us to question our intuition is not easy! We have sooo much power - and that's why these mind tricks are being deployed. I'm hearing this message to let go too 🤎
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!! MARISSA!!! YEEEEEEEEEES! It's definitely not easy. And it's so easy to get sucked back in. Thank you so much for always being so open and kind! And thank you for the reminder that this is why these things keep popping up. Much love to you!!!
@@AleciaRenece Wheww!! Is it! You're so welcome. Thank YOU for sharing these gems with the world. Your words are so needed. 🤎
Wow "Whatever is torn down is a clear path for me to walk through" that is amazing!
Paused at 12:03 "I'm not moved by it. I couldn't care less." perfectly reflects my feelings as well. I wished more ppl spent more time self-actualising themselves, like you do. Depth, self-discovery, learning, meaningful relationships, immersive experiences, feeling deeply, being of service to others etc are far more valuable pursuit than the value we attach to trinkets, material possessions and certificates. Great segment as always 💐💐.
Thank you Alecia for your warmth and honesty. I was in the woods near me this morning, and I had many of the same thoughts you expressed today. I won't write more, just want to say I agree with you and I'm on the same sort of path. I don't fit in and I'm happy. You are a blessing❤
I love this so much. Much love and more happiness to you!
I always love your content, But this one hit different. I thank you for being transparent and Is invulnerable and living in your purpose.

You should be so very proud of yourself your honesty and your journey in this lifetimeYou should be so very proud of yourself & your journey in this lifetime
😭💛 my heeeeeeart! Thank you so very much. This means so much to me. Sometimes we can't see our progress because we're so close up on it, and we need people who can see (you) to remind us of what we forgot. Thank you so much for seeing me and celebrating me... AND for reminding me to celebrate myself. Much love and joy to you. Thank you so much.
You speaking truth again. U is speaking my falling life as u speak. Everything has fallen apart. The job at the PO, the car getting repoed, everything; and this is the 2nd time I lve felt freedom.
At first I was like I hate this unknown but God is opening my eyes to his vision for my life. So thanks for telling me my OWN STORY. LOL
I'm looking at all these beautiful comments giving you Kudos, agreeing strongly with you, Hi fives and an Amen. All are testaments of your voice's significant affect on the masses, and here's mine too!
...👍♥️🙏👏
Wow. Thank you so much for offering that. It truly means a lot!
I messed around and tried to like this video a second time! 😂. The way you are affirming, giving permission to, and freeing so many; you deserve the world! In whatever capacity that is that makes YOU HAPPY!
God is the source. Trust. 🌱🕊️🌊🙏🏽🌄🌲🦋🐾🧘thank u for this healing heart truth. Letting go. Many deep connections experienced here, im greatful. May this flow and trust expand and heal so many human animals 🙏🏽.
👍🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾... YUP!!... @ the title... let it fall apart ... so you can build a BETTER ONE!!!... I'm in the BUILDING BETTER part of my walk now...
I can tell you from experience... it's NOT easy AT ALL ... sounds cliché... but it TRULY is ALWAYS worth it in the end... just keep reminding yourself of this as you're walking on this journey of "Breaking yourself down, to build yourself higher up"... less people or even NO PEOPLE around or in your life will be NECESSARY...
Stick with it ALLLL THE WAY THROUGH!! 😊👍🏾
THANK YOU SO MUUUUUCH!!! This is EVERYTHING.
I quit my professional career... traded lots of money and prestige for my mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. Yes, I lost all my friends (but most were covert bullies actually), my family couldn't and still can't make sense of it... but when I say I blossomed. It was worth it. Even when I didn't know where money was coming from, I was less stressed than when I had a six-figure salary because the only stress was rent and not my job performance, maintaining pretences, and so on. I no longer felt existential ennui-- it was replaced with existential curiosity. The "dream track" really is not for everyone because the Most High didn't give us all the same dream. I found people who actually understand me when I stopped trying to fit in and pretending to be happy with all the meaningless stuff that "everyone" is supposed to want. Thank you for this video cos sometimes I forget amidst the inundation of society's ideas and voices against my small one.
Freeing up from that pressure we place on ourselves is so powerful, I really resonate with this message 🌸
Every word, sentence, description, example you shared resonated with me 100%!!! It's miraculous that you just popped up on my YT page to reaffirm the corrected of my journey. And you shared so eloquently exactly what I have been feeling about my life for the past 4 years. "It's ok to let go." Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽
I have children to care for, pets to care for, elderly parents to care for, property to maintain. Living in my car is not an option but that carefree teenage dream sounds nice. 💖
Me too.. I need play in my life.
Yes. I’m reading Tricia’s book and it’s really speaking to how I’m currently feeling. It’s inspiring me to make changes and surrender and not be so forceful. Trusting Spirit and flowing is something I am working on too. Thank you so much for sharing this message ❤
I LOVE YOU. Period!!!
Sister you are such a gem! God Bless you, thank you for this word
Yeah holding on is a destroyer...especially relationship that was never meant to be.....and the good guy that was always there was maybe the right one....who knows....i let go...i breathe again......im in peace
I was feeling this lost in 2018 and lived in my car. It showed me how litttle I needed but it motivated me because it gave me time to think because I was no longer working so hard to pay for the life I was living. I’m now in a position I couldn’t imagine because I had that mental break. I still struggle but I’m glad I did it. If living in a car isn’t for you, find the best way lower your monthly expenses so you can get ahead. Downgrade that car and get a cheaper apartment. Work towards your real goals and don’t be afraid of what ppl think
I felt the relief in that deep sigh! What a beautiful message. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and gifts.
I’m right here with you on this path. Letting it all go ❤️ this was amazing
Oh wow!!! I'm so happy this spoke to you!!! Much love and joy to you!!! 💛🌺🌻🫂
Great perspective. I never heard anybody explain it like that. The power in letting go. Wonderful sharing.
THANK YOU! Just….THANK YOU!❤
Thank you for your transparency. I too have had to learn how to trust God and I am still learning how to trust God because of my past issues. He does love and want us to trust Him. I really enjoy your channel. Be blessed, D. Elaine
You made this for me. Thank you. ❤
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Do what you gotta (or don’t gotta!) do girl, to be you. 💛
Thank you so muuuuch!!! 😭💛🌻
Trust God “not doing anything by my own effort or own might to get things done” A WORD 🙌🏽 I had to realize, yes I’m intelligent but God is definitely way more than I am and letting go of the HOW and stop tryna figure shit out myself has helped my anxiety immensely!
YEEEEES!!! Same here! I am exhausted. Enough playing God!
This is so relatable. I moved out of my expensive California apartment last year and it was the best decision ever. This year I've actually had time and energy to think about what I want for my life, instead of stressing out about how to pay rent every month. Letting go is scary, but I believe it's necessary to get you on the path to the life you were meant to have all along. Thank you for sharing your insight 🙏🏾
That is complete faith and the ability to trust in oneself.
So serendipitous to have come across this video after making the commitment to give up “productivity” or “doing” today, for a while - it’s time to allow myself to rest. I’ve been in survival mode my whole life and I want to learn trust, full faith in God, and what better way than by finally listening to the nudges that have been saying it’s okay to be, you are safe to just be. My mantra lately is “I am safe and secure in the unknown because I trust and serve God”. I so welcome deep healing. And what a relief. I wish all who need it rest and slowness and flow, and the relief of settling into a place of being whatever you are each day, each given moment - fluid and malleable ❤ Thank you for this msg 🙏
That thumbnail tho🔥
THANK YOOOOOU! I was experimenting with some portraiture!
@@AleciaRenece worked out great sis...it literally looks like museum worthy art🔥
Exactly God was here before we were anyways so all we have to do is believe and see with not just our eyes but with our souls! We need to undo this hold the mundane world has had on us, it’s not easy but starting is the healthy starting of beginning.
omg, you spoke to my soul. we are all not meant for or destined the 9-5, climbing the corporate ladder or doing the grunt work and not being appreciated. i’m doing some deep soul searching at this point in my life, discovering what’s most important- my mental health and peace of mind which is connected to my physical health. i’m coming up with a plan for how i can leave the 9-5 world and sustain a peaceful and more purposeful (whatever that will mean for me, personally) life.
I've been binge watching your videos for the past 2 days, everything you said has been resonating so deeply with what I found out for myself.
I'm so excited to see what can grow out of living in creation instead of survival.That. shit is DEAD! I'm doing it differently moving forward
Alecia you always speak such wisdom! I let it all go months ago. I live day by day and I have never been happier. I'm no longer looking for a dream career because I don't dream of labor. This used to keep me up at night, and I let go of that too. I'm not scared for what's to come. I even said if I go homeless, I'll be happy, because I know that I am where I am supposed to be. Life is a beautiful mystery and I'm happy that it's kept as one
Amen to ALLLLL of this! I’m in this period of my life now. YHWH Bless you!
I been let go. I am not trying to find what I lost. Hermit mode has served me. I love the picture for this video ❤️
I felt like I was the only one who felt this way! The people I talk to don't understand this concept of letting go and flowing. I stumbled across your video and I couldn't help but smile the whole time because now I know im not the only one being pulled into the unknown of letting everything fall apart and trust that it will all work out.. I'm not apart of any religion.. I don't believe In God.. but ive been on a 2 year spiritual journey of just trying find my destiny. I believe my intuition is the
Key to finding it. I am finally learning how to trust my intuition and follow it....and ive been feeling the urge to let go and trust it will all work out. It's scary as hell, but after a year of stewing on the concept, i feel actually ready now and excited to do it!! It took literally a year of fighting with my own fears to be able to get comfortable with just the thought of letting go!! I believe life isnt supposed to be a predictable mundane boring repetitive life. I just feel the same way as you in this video. Thank you so much for posting. It's so comforting to know someone else out there is heading down this scary but exciting path. ❤❤❤ 😊 I'm ready 💪
Currently reading / listening to the audiobook of Rest as Resistance based on your recommendation and it’s one of the best books I’ve read / listened to in a long time! 📖 So so so happy the algorithm brought your channel to my UA-cam feed, you have a loyal subscriber & listener ❤ I have very early childhood memories of always identifying as a socialist / communist leaning and not understanding how everyone doesn’t see that capitalism is the root of all evil. None of my friends or family get it. I’m so glad that UA-cam can connect those of us with the same worldview 🙏🏻
In letting go I've realized that we are a part of nature. That just as the birds and trees, and flowers and ants are being provided for simply by doing what is instinctual to them, so too can we experience that abundance of having everything we need in that moment by simply living as who we were meant to live annd as you said living in flow
This is so healing. Thank you. 🙏🏾
I could listen to you all day lady 😊
