"Hate yourself happy ..." You've got a real gift for coining a phrase, Anthony. I believe this is the result of a materialist, competitive culture. There are centuries of programming behind that twisted way of thinking, the latest coming from Madison Avenue. As if we didn't have the right to simply exist. Thank you for expressing your thoughts. I personally find them clarifying.
"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." Carl Rogers
"We distract ourselves, not being where we are, because we aren't okay with it" resonates with me so much. We're rarely ever present and in the moment. I think that we need to really balance self-love and self-improvement so one doesn't overshadow the other and we miss out on actually living.
My therapist was the one who finally put that lil seed of "self-love = growth" in my brain. I had just left a job that made me feel I was lazy, slow and incompetent. I decided to start building my own business, but I was still deep down the mindset of "I'm not enough, I need to work faster. They were right, I'll never get anywhere working the way I do. I need to change myself. I'm a failure." Months later, I was completely paralyzed, couldn't create a single piece, didn't believe in myself. At the same time, I started seeing a therapist and we worked on several things, including this. She convinced me to take a break (wow, that was scary!!!) so I wouldn't burn out completely. Then slowly I started falling in love with my creation again. I started getting more and more confident, creating more, learning, evolving... And people like my things because of how *I* make them. And hey, I just opened my first online shop five days ago!!! :D I changed, yes, but not to be less me. I'm more me now and I love it!
And thank you so much for adding your voice to this stand. I'm done with shame-based productivity, too.
Feeling a similar path right now for sure. Thank you for sharing this. I’d love to check out your store, as well. Congrats on launching!
Hearing this is eye opening
Hate myself happy, just so spot on. 100 % recognizable.
This is absolutely perfect, especially now. I'm transitioning to a new job this is so relevant. I have followed you for years and as ever you have hit the nail on the head. Thank you 🙏
Hate myself happy. Wow. so true for me.
'hate myself happy' is my new favorite descriptor for pretty much every productivity back I've tried that's lead to burnout ❤️.
Yes! I want more hair on top! Great video Anthony. You rock!
This is me! I am always competing with myself. Trying to push myself, distract myself, keep busy. I'm frightened of being bored. Maybe it was because I was conditioned as a child "only the lazy are bored". Its easier to distract than deal with the uncomfortableness of the moment, or situation. Yet I can always love and help others, I just put myself last, or never. This has opened by eyes, I found this so useful, Thanks.
Self-judgment/negative self talk is a habit that I tend to feed into too much sometimes.... It really depletes my worth and makes me believe things I know aren't true, and so this video is honestly a great reminder for me to just be. PS: I'm really liking this new direction of content, Anthony. It's more raw and real, and I feel as if the world needs more of that
Good food for thought. Thank you.
I have found we often need to take the time to just be there and be content where we are to regain our emotional and spiritual balance so that we are able to move forward in a positive direction
Wow how did you know that this warring against myself constantly was the very battle I am in! Trusting the Lord and not my own efforts is hard, when He said the flesh is weak that doesn't mean get tougher, but trust Him more.
Thank you! I needed this.
Thank you for sharing - love it!
It's mental health week in my country,I believe. Although this message is always timely. Thanks! Teaching and living online for so long wasn't good for my soul. Productivity culture made it worse. I started a bullet journal and took a deep dive into the ideas behind it. It's a great help in hanging out with myself and improve in a healthy way.
Anthony, I started watching your videos when I started watching UA-cam, when you created your Chanel. In a mean while I didn’t follow everything. And I also thought maybe watching so much “extreme minimalism” content in such a young age wasn’t the best to me (yes, I was really young). But I also think you were never that extreme egsample. You also had so amazing to had. Watching this right now felt so nostalgic and I honestly don’t know why I haven’t been following the things I actually learnt years ago. I have been struggling a lot w keeping distance from social media and being able to focus and work. I didn’t know you had been diagnosed w adhd and would love to know more about it. I was actually questioning why would I be relating so much w every single thing you had been saying since I started watching you, I am really truly grateful for your sharing and I tell you your simplicity and honesty goes trough the screen and also trough the sees to Europe! You are great! I will try to apply now this feeling of actually working instead of writing you a comment :) I guess I have a human brain, thanks again!
And my monkey mind didn’t let me do what I actually came here for: I have always had this idea that I was not where I was and I want you to check out an amazing Portuguese artist from the 80s that became an icon and really talks about this. I think it also shaped the way I see it. António Variações is his name and you can check the song about this topic: “eu só estou bem aonde não estou”.
Gosh I love this.
Appreciate you.
Gosh. You need wayyyy for recognization
