also 600,000 of you !!!!!!!! what did i do to deserve you all !!!! my heart is so full and my gratitude is overflowing. i wouldn't be in this position if it wasn't for your continued support and i hope i hope i can continue to make beautiful things for you guys... ily 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Congratulations, Moya! 🩷 You truly deserve it. Your vlogs are so therapeutic and provides so much healing to me and my boyfriend. I don’t know what you do and how you do it but that’s the feeling you always give with your vlogs. Continue making more videos and will always support you!!! Stay happy and healthy! 💕
I honestly enjoy these vlogs even more than the travel or show vlogs (though those are great too). The slower pace of these city vlogs feels more relatable, and I can really connect with them-especially the last part with the talking and painting. I love to see it!
I think being comfortable is also human. We are meant to crave comfort. Being comfortable is not bad but if you have feelings of wanting something else or more- than that’s when you are uncomfortable and need change.
@@moyamawhinney I think most of the time we are in a constant race to be better and chase after our goals, when we forget to stop and appreciate how hard we have worked to get where we are. I don't think being comfortable is bad, i think it is just a pause in our journey and being present and enjoying our achievements
This! I don't think comfort and growth are mutually exclusive. A comfortable setting free of stressors really gives inner processes the chance to unravel and you a chance of a deeper understanding of yourself. Even therapy works best when the patient is in a comfortable and safe place and has room to grow! While therapy during a uncomfortable time and crisis focuses more on stabilising and bringing comfort and safety before working on the issues! So I agree with these comments, if you are in a comfortable place and start working through your goals and inner issues and come out feeling UNcomfortable, it's because your place of comfort isn't really the right type of comfort for you anymore. And maybe that's the task; to find out what will bring you happiness and comfort now that you've grown out of your comfort zone.
it's saturday morning; I`ve just gone on a hot-girl-walk, showered, made blueberry pancakes, a matcha and a smoothie, and I am now sitting in bed watching my favorite youtuber. the sun is out for the first time in weeks. I´m having coffee with my mum in a few hours. it really is the small things in life
I would argue that you can grow when you're stable and comfortable, that routine and stability allow for spontaneity. I'm just weary of blowing up your life just to feel something
I love the reflection on the growth mindset and have similar thoughts. However, I find within myself it sometimes comes from a place of being a perfectionist too. the need to always be better is great and admirable but balance is important. There is nothing wrong with enjoying the comfort of something that serves you and there can always be further exploration within that. Life is so challenging at points sometimes it is best to savour the comfort within it. Thank you for sparking engaging dialogue and thoughts
I love how you explained all your thoughts in the middle of experiencing them. Often people tell you afterwards, but it’s so much more interesting hearing about your “raw journal” sessions🥰💕
I remember I read something and ever since I get back to painting bc I was afraid of mistakes or bed art “ avoiding mistakes kills creativity” and it’s SO true
There is probably not much time in life where we truly feel comfortable - I think it is a blessing. Nothing wrong to relish it and celebrate what you have! But if you are feeling uncomfortable being comfortable for a while, maybe it is a start of something new! Sending love
I always have some trouble with the 'comfort zone' thing that we've always been told. Some people do find joy in comfort. For those who knew a lot of discomfort, reaching the "comfort zone" is the promised land, the oasis. I did a lot of growing to allow myself to enjoy any part of my life where I find ease, flow and familiarity. I do think it is a lot about perspective, one could argue you are not in your comfort zone right now because you do not feel comfortable, you feel maybe stuck? Wanting more, growing..this can be achived organically by following your heart. If you grow tired of something, you will grow naturally out of it. love the daily life vlogs
Congratulations on 600k subs Moya..damnnn its been like 4 years since I've been watching your channel believe me you've grown so much as a person I'm so proud of u..and so grateful to be a part of this beautiful community ❤✨
"comfortable and growth can not exist at the same time" wow i really needed to hear this, i will have this engrave in my mind now. tomorrow i start a new job and i've been feeling like quitting just bc it is something out my comfort zone
i love your perspective moya and hearing your thoughts is so helpful for us viewers to be self reflective as well! personally i feel like ive been uncomfortable for so long that now feeling comfortable, knowing what my comfort zone even IS, has been so rewarding and fulfilling! will definitely challenge it one day when i'm feeling too comfortable, but it's definitely okay to enjoy being comfortable and enjoy the peace. otherwise i feel like i'll keep chasing something that i'll never get to 'enjoy' :)) those are my musings, thank you for the prompt!!
a timely reminder ! Been dealing with that feeling you reference with your experience in Spanish in my own life when it comes to dance. reminding myself there is no ideal self there is only getting better
I think it comes out in your videos too. I feel like your old videos were more addictive to me personally because u were putting urself through discomfort and it inspired me ❤ u got this
it makes me a little emotional sometimes when you watch other youtubers because I wish you could watch yourself as we watch you (I hope that makes sense lol) you’re so amazing at what you do and every time you post it makes my day
It's fine to step out of our comfort zone to try new things and work at things, but there's nothing wrong with a certain level of peace and comfort at the same time. If we have too much chaos or discomfort, we won't grow either.
Moya your bedroom is so beautiful - I love the abundance of space and light. As always, I loved this video, I always feel so calm and peaceful after watching your YT :) wishing you all the best as always
Also regarding the comfort zone conversation - I feel the same. There is no growth without both comfort and challenge. What is one thing that scares you? Identify it and try to challenge it to gain a sense of achievement and growth. For me, I am scared by the ocean/swimming so I have signed up to a scuba diving course which terrifies and excites me.
have been missing your videos so much lately .. please update regularly .. been watching your journey since past 2 years .. its fascinating to see how much you've grown !
I am someone who never comments on videos but I absolutely loved the part of this where you opened up more about comfort zones. Love you content as always and thank you for being you!♥️ love from the South East of Ireland!
Hii, paris french girl over here. This video is pure joy and relaxation, I've been stressed recently and your channel is like journaling in a video, it brings me such peace! I wanted to ask as well where you got that dinner in the end of the video, I'm always looking to discover new foods here and it looked so good!
It’s been busy the past few months so I’ve only gotten back to seeing your videos recently, but immediately I get connected to the journaling videos!! Feeling so calmed and reflective seeing this
Your content is so inspiring for what I've always wanted to make as a creator, the balance of your introspective thoughts, to your tasks, to your meals. I love how you make videos!
Thank you Moya, for being so honest and keeping that section of the video where you were navigating all those ideas.. a lot of people, myself included really relate to it❤️
I totally agree with stepping out of your comfort zone! The thing I wonder is at what point is it ok to stay in your comfort zone? When you’re happy? Is it ok to stop ‘growing’ …?
Oh Moya I just love you so much. You have no idea the level of peace and #comfort that you bring me - no matter where your journey takes you next, I’m so glad you decided to spend some of it with us ❤
Omg, thank you for this video. I feel I'm experiencing exactly the same fear about being creative and not caring about the result, because is not going to be good (and shouldn’t matter as long as I am happy.) Thank you Moya for understanding, but mostly for sharing ❤
I love how open you were in this video. I hope you realize how much comfort, happines and peace do you bring to our lives just for being real with your thoughts and emotions. Everyone lives life for the first time, so there is no a right or wrong way to live it. What would I recommend is to watch some youtubers who talk about stepping outside of your comfot zone and who also share some helpful tips. Remeber not to be too harsh on yourself. Whatever you feel is okay. :)
Love seeing you living your daily life in the beautiful city of Paris. And thank you for sharing your real, honest feelings. It is true that a lot of growth lies out of our comfort zones, but most importantly stepping out of it has to also feel safe. The fact that you have this awareness is also a great thing I'm sure you'll make your way out of that comfort zone at your own pace. P.S. Congrats on 600k. This channel is my comfort zone that I'm never letting go of!🥹💖
I adore you, Moya. I mean I saw you first via the Glossier video and idk like there was a vibe connect and when I open the UA-cam subscription and I see a notification from your channel I get so excited and as a person who wants to be independent in France idk I just love your videos and find them calming and motivating. Lots of luck to you!!!🎉🎉😊❤
Hi Moya! loved the video! Is it possible to know which lens and camera you're using? I've been searching for a wide angle lens that could work on my NikonZ30 with a similar exaggerated effect. Hope to see you soon! :)
loved the vlog portion of this video but what u said while at the studio spoke to me SO MUCH! felt so seen! p.s. huge congrats on 600k, i found a ss i sent u ages ago of when u had 333k subs and had posted 111 videos (i had to share the angel numbers w u) MWAH i hope paris is treating u well and heres to the girls who are going out of their comfort zones to grow in the next quarter of the year
I love your videos, I live in Paris but your videos create a new whole version of Paris and I love it so much thank you Also I love them because it makes me happy to live and excited to experience things in my life
In the last part of the video, when you talked about leaving your comfort zone, I could totally relate. I recently moved to India for an internship, and everything is new and unfamiliar. It's uncomfortable because I don't know anyone, but I know that it's the only way for me to grow. Of course, I would rather be at home with my friends and family, but I also get bored with that after a while. I wonder if anyone else feels the same way.
I think art is something that is hard to enjoy for its sake without judging ourself. Maybe it’s because what we produce reflects our inner state more than anything else we do and so any criticism feels very personal and hard to take .. and so many of us quit as a result. I started again recently after giving up at school and felt so much joy from just drawing practice circles. I thought I must focus more on the joy it brings than what I or others think about the result. Enjoy your art ❤
Hi Moya! 🌟 Hope everything’s great with you! Just wanted to say I absolutely love your vlogs-they always make me so happy and I get so much inspiration from your life! 💖✨
omg moya! i love ur videos, i’ve been watching them for a year and a half now! every time i watch one, it inspires me to be more present and do things that will make my life better! you are so so inspiring!!! thank you! also, where is ur black t-shirt from?? 😊
moya i'm obsessed with the way you film and edit your vlogs, so simple yet so effective! ❤ i'm wondering, what camera do you use to film those more "fish eye" wide lens shots?
Hi Moya, I’ve been watching your videos since you were at uni, and I just wanted to say I completely understand how you feel. During my surprise gap year I was so frustrated, feeling like I wasn’t growing and I was just stuck. My experience has been that the more I pray and look to God, the more opportunities I recognise in my life, it’s not always easy and I am often pushed out of my comfort zone, but slowly I am growing as a person, and I know it’s in the right direction. Just wanted to say I will be praying for you, and if you feel like there’s something you’re missing in life, know that He is constantly watching over you, loves you like crazy and is waiting for you to talk to him. One of my favourite verses is Isaiah 49:16, I hope you like it too ❤
That spech feels very personal… I lived in Paris the last year and I had the same crisis every single day of my life just feeling stucked by not be the most productive person in world and I experienced work in something I didn’t love it but I had to and make me feel so empty. But now you make me think that maybe I was just crossing the uncomfortable process I don’t know maybe we just have to keep calm and be happy in every step Greetings from mx 🇲🇽
rlly liked ur rambles about comfort zones! sometimes i feel pulled between wanting to push myself out of my comfort zone so i evolve but also wondering how i can be content/appreciate every stage of my life w/o always looking forward. you might like the book A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers! 💛
“If you're happy doing what you're doing, then nobody can tell you you're not successful.” ― Harry Styles p.s: art by definition can not be "good" or "bad", enjoy the process and the journey :)
bc why did your reflections stop me in my tracks and hit all the right notes ✋🏽😭 but also i feel like you need to be in your comfort zone for some time to allow your soul to have space to form and then you will feel more ready to go for your bigger, more risky dreams
Right now I'm comfortable! But that's okay, I love my home my friends etc I don't need to be a traveling queen 24/7. My saying is "comfort zones are meant to be broken" but actually it's nice to be content and happy and maybe not chase newness?? Girls in our 20s xxx
As far as art (coming from someone who dabbles in art)… The only “good” art is that which touches someone on an emotional level, even if it is only reaches a single person (and that one person may be you). So - create art that makes you happy.
Feeling super sick because the temperatures dropped… but the video is really warming to me! I wanted to ask, is the Fable book club still in your projects ? Have a great one ❤
What I have realised for myself is that I hate being uncomfortable and my comfort zone is like a blanket I wrap myself in - nothing bad can happen to us in the blanket of our comfort zone The thing is, staying in your comfort zone is a slow form of self destruction for a creative individual (i think) . Because when we aren't challenging ourselves in new ways, we're not succeeding in new areas which I think will ultimately bring our self esteem down. I think we need to take creative risks and welcome the idea of potentially failing in some endeavours because that is how we grow as people and as artists. But that is all a very black and white way we are approaching this, success vs failure, comfort vs no comfort etc I think the most healthy way to approach wanting to branch out is just to look at it as play, just trying new things for fun and nothing else and seeing what comes out of it Instead of striving to reach success in a new hobby and wanting to be the best, just try to make it playful and fun and take a break when it feels too serious
also 600,000 of you !!!!!!!! what did i do to deserve you all !!!! my heart is so full and my gratitude is overflowing. i wouldn't be in this position if it wasn't for your continued support and i hope i hope i can continue to make beautiful things for you guys... ily 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Ao glad to be part of your community. Love your vlogs.
You inspire me ❤
Congratulations
we love you moya! day 1 over here :)
girl i've been here since you had 10k subs... so proud of you! :)
Congratulations, Moya! 🩷 You truly deserve it. Your vlogs are so therapeutic and provides so much healing to me and my boyfriend. I don’t know what you do and how you do it but that’s the feeling you always give with your vlogs. Continue making more videos and will always support you!!! Stay happy and healthy! 💕
Congrats Moya🥳🥳🥳 Always looping your vlogs in the background to go through my day!! Love your aesthetic and you inspire💕💕💕
I honestly enjoy these vlogs even more than the travel or show vlogs (though those are great too). The slower pace of these city vlogs feels more relatable, and I can really connect with them-especially the last part with the talking and painting. I love to see it!

so true and honestly what my therapist was saying too she was like ‘is it a bad thing?!’ 😭🤍
@@moyamawhinney I think most of the time we are in a constant race to be better and chase after our goals, when we forget to stop and appreciate how hard we have worked to get where we are.

IDEAL IDEAL IDEAL IDEAL wow ily
I would argue that you can grow when you're stable and comfortable, that routine and stability allow for spontaneity. I'm just weary of blowing up your life just to feel something
I guess I would examine where these feelings of needing to change are coming from, and maybe why you're afraid of being "happy and comfortable"
So glad you’re posting regularly again!!

She's using canon legria mini for the wide angle and Sony Handycam AX43 for the rest

Honored to be part of your community....so appreciate you sharing. It helps me make sense of my life journey.
rlly liked ur rambles about comfort zones! sometimes i feel pulled between wanting to push myself out of my comfort zone so i evolve but also wondering how i can be content/appreciate every stage of my life w/o always looking forward. you might like the book A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers! 💛
Fauna is one of my favorite places to go when I’m visiting Paris !
Je suis la seule française ici ? I am so early!!!!! sending love Moya ❤🇫🇷

p.s: art by definition can not be "good" or "bad", enjoy the process and the journey :)
bc why did your reflections stop me in my tracks and hit all the right notes ✋🏽😭 but also i feel like you need to be in your comfort zone for some time to allow your soul to have space to form and then you will feel more ready to go for your bigger, more risky dreams
you’re my inspiration moya ❤
Right now I'm comfortable! But that's okay, I love my home my friends etc I don't need to be a traveling queen 24/7. My saying is "comfort zones are meant to be broken" but actually it's nice to be content and happy and maybe not chase newness?? Girls in our 20s xxx
As far as art (coming from someone who dabbles in art)…
The only “good” art is that which touches someone on an emotional level, even if it is only reaches a single person (and that one person may be you). So - create art that makes you happy.
ily moya😭❤️

favourite person on the internet ❤
beautiful!! which camera are u using? im crazy looking for this type
so here for the existential thoughts. Lately been contemplating the notion of happiness and if that's even a sustainable goal 😂 lite stuff
So in love with the vibe of your videos! But i was wondering which camera do you use its look so good
What I have realised for myself is that I hate being uncomfortable and my comfort zone is like a blanket I wrap myself in - nothing bad can happen to us in the blanket of our comfort zone
The thing is, staying in your comfort zone is a slow form of self destruction for a creative individual (i think) . Because when we aren't challenging ourselves in new ways, we're not succeeding in new areas which I think will ultimately bring our self esteem down. I think we need to take creative risks and welcome the idea of potentially failing in some endeavours because that is how we grow as people and as artists.
But that is all a very black and white way we are approaching this, success vs failure, comfort vs no comfort etc
I think the most healthy way to approach wanting to branch out is just to look at it as play, just trying new things for fun and nothing else and seeing what comes out of it
Instead of striving to reach success in a new hobby and wanting to be the best, just try to make it playful and fun and take a break when it feels too serious
