    Great video!
    For many years I consumed so much self help content, and even though it helped me a lot at certain times, deep down it came from beliefs that there is something wrong with me, that I'm not good enough, and self hate.
    First when I started to practice self acceptance, authenticity and changed these beliefs, I've started to feel better. When I figured out that I don't have to be special, be successful and achieve a lot to be good enough, it really was a game changer. I don't feel guilty because I'm "behind" anymore, and I act out of inspiration instead. And I find joy in the simple things.
    I still consume self help, but I'm looking for content where it's assumed that you are whole from the beginning.

      @@hannemikkelsen607 Thank you for this beautifully written comment. I resonate with everything you said!
      No amount of self-help content will heal you if you do not have a foundation of unconditional self-love/acceptance, free from shame, social standards/pressures etc. It can feel a bit lonely and scary at first but the freedom and inner peace received in exchange makes it worth it.

    The algorithm brought me here because my "watch later" list is full of self help and self improvement content 😅 I feel called out... But you're right

    I watched the video and then decided to rewatch it while sitting and not walking. Would you say I cheated and watched another self help video? 😅😊
    I clicked to watch it cause I deep down was having the same sense of realization albeit in a different experience.
    Great content,message and well put together. I think you have gone to school for a masters or something.

      That's a great question. 😂 Given that it's the same info, it should be fine ;)
      Thanks a lot for the feedback, much appreciated!

    I agree! Especially the downfall and sadness that comes with “I’ve read, listened to books, podcasts” why can’t I feel better? 🥲 keep it up bibi 🩷
