this is one thing Millennials have gotten to faster than other generations: wellness is so underrated but is so intrinsic in every aspect of my life. I am on this journey now at 46. No better time to start than now.
Better late than never. And don’t even try to explain to some in our generation that think you can’t be successful without struggle. They’re stuck in suffering.
They have no choice but to get there faster. Look at everything they have to contend with. The generation following them have gotten there even faster. If you think about it the quicker they get there, the more the knowledge spreads and the more opportunity to live peacefully for longer. I know it's a mouthful but hopefully you get my drift.
Woah, I’m 26 and I felt like she spoke to my soul… I actually am so emotional… I feel like someone understands what it’s like to feel the way I do. We need to talk about these things a lot more.
this peace in pursuit is found in a spiritual relationship with Jesus the Prince of Peace Isaiah chapter 9 verse 6= Isaiah 9:6. Then we have true purpose in life 'all is well with my soul' and we have the power to live in His forgiveness, friendship & amazing grace! ok :)
She literally found the key to life at 26 and broke it down to the smallest molecule. This is a video I will reference for years to come. I am grateful ❤️💜
This young lady is more that a title “millennial” she is a beautiful spirit, focused on healing and health. I am so grateful to have watched her Ted Talk…with my children. ❤️👸🏾 Blessings to all. 🙏🏾
I have learned this a long time ago. Something that I tell my friends that smoke weed chronically is that when the high wears off, all your pain will come right back. That’s why it’s so important to deal with your problems and stop brushing them under the rug. Be vulnerable with yourself and with others.
Beautiful message! I could not agree more. The hustle culture is toxic. Our well being (mentally, physically & spiritually) is the foundation of authentic and meaningful progress.
And that’s exactly where I’m at. I always say that I may not have everything together yet but I have a great foundation now. Which is mentally, physically,spiritually and emotionally. It’s such a beautiful feeling I must say.*
As a health coach I adore this. Honestly this message needs more views. The truth is that most people don't do many of the "basics" you mention. You are blessed and ahead of many. Be well!
I just turned 26 and don't know what I'm going to do with my life honestly. My anxiety is worse than ever. I started going to therapy and is helping a lot
“Work really hard at being GOOD AT YOU.” Love this SO MUCH!!!! “Good at you.” You know, we hear so often encouragement to be our best selves. And while that’s wonderful… there’s still an implication in there to be your best self, SO you can provide better for others. And of course, those of us on this journey to better ourselves often care deeply about finding more ways to give… but wow. What you said here means the world to me. To me, it means, giving myself permission to be good AT me, FOR me!!! That I get in that alignment with myself and my own wellness - for my own sake, first, and always… (like you talk about, having a wellness practice) and THEN, I can give from a place of wholeness and joy. Wow. Yes… I will be coming back to this talk again. Thank You, Chloe! What a joy to listen to this today! ❤️
I am about to be 30 in less than two months, and I needed to hear this. I have been so focused on my purpose and that hustle and bustle mentality, but it has really broken me down to the point where I don't recognize myself anymore. As a result, it has affected my grad school studies and my new job. I am used to functioning at a higher capacity, but something has been feeling different, and I no longer feel like the rock star that I was professionally.
Hi Ashley, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for sharing part of your story. I truly relate with what you're saying, and want to be honest that that's exactly why I chose to give this talk. Feeling so burntout that you don't recognize yourself anymore is truly the exact consequence or hustle culture- as you already stated. You're not alone at all, and I hope you know i'm rooting for you. You're gonna get through this beautifully. The first step is choosing to nurture you
Same..i want to be overseas live and work there but i feel that it’s so out of reach..im so grumpy now and i hate everyone but I know I shouldn’t but I just feel frustrated, tired, really exhausted but damn the billssss…not sure if I should take a vacay for 2 months or just pursue studies overseas 🥲
@@chloehakim-moore thank you so much for responding and for your kind words. It’s beautiful to see women, especially women of color uplifting one another. Thank you for being an inspiration and leading by example.
I agree to some extent but thoughtfully, it's all about striking a balance between wellness and purpose in the context of time management. Also knowing the truth about certain issues of life will help many people live their best lives. I started to live a better life when I started to know the truth about Me and my Free Will, standard of living, Time, success, failure, purpose etc.
I absolutely agree. If you connect to your God purpose instead of running the streets, idling your time, and believing you will have forever to correct mistakes of your youth, you will achieve wellness. I'm 52, and retired at 35.
This TED talk really struck a chord with me being a busy medical student trying to find a balance between everything going on in my life. I appreciated the way Chloe was able to use her personal anecdotes to better deliver the idea of focusing on wellness within yourself versus purpose as it made it more digestible. People that pursue the path to becoming a doctor are definitely a perfect example of individuals striving towards purpose and end up putting their ow needs and wellness at the wayside. I am definitely guilty of doing this. While having goals and aspirations in life is important, the road you take to get there can come at a cost of your well being. Before listening to this talk I don’t think I have sat down and considered what does wellness mean for me, what do I need in order to feel content and at peace the way Chloe described. Even looking into the future at my career in which I would be taking care of other people, this made me think of the cliché saying “you can’t pour from an empty cup”. In order to show up for my patients in the way they would need me to and be able to provide the best care of my ability I need to have a full cup. In other words, I know I need to take care of myself and make sure I am at peace the way Chloe described so that I could provide that peace and care for others. This could be related back to a medical ethical tenet of beneficence that healthcare providers try to uphold. This is the responsibility of providers to act for the benefit of the patient and to always defend and protect the rights of their patients. Overall, I believe the lessons described in the Ted Talk should be followed by all individuals but especially those in the healthcare industry or any other occupation that has you taking care of the wellness of others in order to provide the best care possible.
Felt so proud as a Trini woman to hear this presentation. So profound, and as a mom raising young Trini girls also, I am happy the next generation is in good hands like yours.
I'm in my mid 30's and she talks my thoughts and feelings when I was in my late teens to 20's. It's quite interesting to look back and realise how much calmer I am now with lifes ups and mostly downs.
“What does health look like to me?” Such a simple yet thought provoking question to ask myself. Thank you so much for this. I’ve been awake for the last few hours battling with intrusive anxiety ridden thoughts. This video popped up as if God sent it to me directly. You’re delivery was so comforting. Thank you for your transparency.
she was literally at the spot i am currently pushing my way through. im 26, im scared, im anxious. i never felt anxiety or even had a panic attack till this year and it sucks. Hearing her really helped me see im not alone and this is just a phase ill overcome.
This was a fantastic talk. I am just so grateful that while our more modern world seems to have more anxiety than ever- we also have the data, the language, and basic mental health normalization- to actually address it. This gives me faith in the future of humanity.
So grateful for this message. A lot of times we find ourselves getting caught up in this thing called "life" that we often neglect our well-being because we are so caught up in surviving rather than living...and for us at that. Message Recieved!
I struggle with this every day and at the moment I’m only 23. This affirmed what I’m working towards everyday, which is peace. Peace is always with us but I do believe it starts with wellness.
This Ted Talk was great!! Everything I'm feeling as a millennial. Sometimes we just go through life thinking we've dealt with everything we've been through but little do you know it's weighing on your mental. We must take care of ourselves first. Self care is essential, you're well-being is important.
Wow. "How can we make world peace when we don't know how to have peace for ourselves?" 💜 This is the exact thing that compelled me to embrace Islam. When I pray every day or listen to the Quran that is what inner peace is to me. ☪️ We all have our journeys to reach that place and it's honestly one of the greatest things we can ever do.
With all do respect Ma'ma God tells us in the Holy Bible 🙏🏽that there are many fake God's...but that He is the 'Only True God!' We do have free - will to believe in what we choose...however bible verse John 3:16 is the TRUE ANSWER,to all of life's problems. Please read it, and try Jesus...He is literally our '💜True Peace!' Take care and God bless you!
Sister, I adore this for you. I’m deeply grateful that Islam has provided you with such beautiful guidance. Thank you for sharing your kind reflection here 🤍✨
With all do respect... I encourage you to actually do your research on Islam. Allah means ONE God in Arabic. We love Jesus, but he is a prophet and that's all. Even in the Bible Jesus prays... So if you're praying to Jesus who is he praying too.. that's not fall into the trap of worshiping false idols because that is the number one major sin. May Allah bless and guide you. 🙏🏿💕
there is soo much pressure in society to be the best and being better than others.. it's breaks you inside.. all I want is to be mentally stable and happy with myself regardless of what others think.. I hope i get there one day.
Love this. Our generation seems to understand this more but its causing a ripple effect for the older generation..which I'm glad. everyone deserves peace... wellness is definitely the way to go..
🥺 This was amazing. It’s so profound that Chloe shared this with us before we would all be pretty much forced to sit with ourselves and reflect on our inner wellness. As a fellow overachiever and purpose chaser her story resonates with me deep deep. Over the past 5 months I have adjusted to finally allowing myself to focus on my wellness as the priority and not what I am producing/improving in the world. I’m so thankful to have found this video. 💛🕊
Whenever I am about to set out for the day, I constantly remind myself that there is nothing to be afraid about out there, because it's either it works or it doesn't, but that does not mean I won't try. That way I clearly redefine my "purpose" as against "wellness".
I suffer from an anxiety disorder and I am Generation X. This was one of the most beautiful TED talks I have heard. And you are so right. Wellness body, mind and soul is what really fills us up.
Mrs. Chloe, you helped me realize so much. I done cried, laughed, and innerstood exactly why I’ve been feeling the way I’ve been feeling. You literally spoke to me, and I appreciate your testimony. Thank You so much, I thank God for speaking through you.
She is not old enough to be called Mrs. Chloe. Don't look for reasons to treat women as if they are old when they are young. I am sure you don't do that with men.
12:45 The key to living a healthy life. Thrive through things that are challenging and wonderful at the same time. Called wellness. Thank you for this video so beautiful! Such an amazing soul. Thank you for sharing🙏
Watching this just now helped me make a decision that isn't a huge one, but is one that pits "what I should do" vs. "what is good for me." I choose what is good for me. I'm GenX and LOVE learning from gifted millennials like this beautiful soul.
Thank you for the wonderful Ted talk I have been doing work on myself and haven't felt this good in years. The more I trust that all this hard work will pay off the more I've seen it come to fruition. ❤️
🦋💘This is my second time listening to this talk at different points in my life. Each time was thought provoking and phenomenal. The first time I heard this, I I was getting deathly ill, and the next time was nine months later surviving internal bleeding twice and healing. Thank you for this amazing talk.💘🦋
Well done! As a Transformational Life Coach the one thing that amazes me is how many people go through the “26-33 years old change.” and we are not aware that this is a natural change that will occur but we are not informed so when the changes start to happen many labels are attached to it. That change can happen easier if we are informed and prepared. I am happy you shared your experience and your topic is wonderful. Great job fellow Caribbean 🙏🏾
What a brilliant brilliant and amazing young lady. Fortunately we are in a day and time where it’s more acceptable to talk about these things. We now have Immediate access to wellness and mindfulness through social media that was never really available to previous generations. Our grandparents and our ancestors did not have access to these resources and it definitely was not an acceptable societal standards. The boldness of millennials are making a difference for all generations.
I lived everything about this TED Talk. I related so much and the words that was spoken by this beautiful being was everything I needed to hear at this very moment. It’s 3:40am and I believe I now have clarity on what my focus should be from here on out. Thank you Ms. Hakim-Moore & to think we share the same last name ❤️
I’ve literally been living this and teaching as many people that would lend an ear to this for the last 5 years!!! No goal setting let’s just get better…mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually
Bless you Ms Moore for sharing a universal truth! Change for the better always starts with the betterment of self. Honesty about our frailties will yield a path of discovery to what holds us back from living the abundant life!
that's crazy i felt that same way as a millennial in 2015. most of that year i had panic attacks/anxiety. i was living working with strangers for 11 months but i learned that wellness as a whole was important. living in a new location every month or so and learning to be outside my comfort zone, those people became good friends with, and shift my perspective in life
watched this a few days before my 25th birthday and have to say, i really needed this one. it's so easy to get caught up in the idea that we should have accomplished something by a certain age, but i think everyone has a different life cycle and it's okay to just stay more present.
This TED talk spoke to me, as a millennial and a medical student who is consistently surrounded by messages of purpose. Who goes to medical school without that driver? The pursuit of a purposeful life is an admirable endeavor, but can, as Chloe mentioned, be a double-edged sword. On one hand, having a clear sense of purpose can give us direction, motivation, and a sense of fulfillment. On the other hand, chasing that “purpose” can lead to an unhealthy amount of stress, higher risk of burnout, and decreased focus on wellness, and on living in the moment. It's important to note that there isn’t anything inherently wrong with having a sense of purpose. In fact, observational studies referenced in the Blue Zones show that having a sense of purpose is linked to greater health and a longer lifespan. However, the problem arises when we become so obsessed with achieving our purpose that we neglect other important aspects of our lives, such as our health and relationships. In our society, there’s often a pressure to be constantly achieving and striving for success. We’re told that we should always be working towards something: a promotion at work, a personal goal, a social cause. While these focuses can be motivating in the short-term, they could can also lead to chronic stress and burnout if we don’t take breaks and prioritize self-care. Thank you for reminding us to pause and do this, Chloe. The idea of a “purposeful life” is often conflated with a life of productivity and achievement. As a society, we’re encouraged to work harder, longer, and smarter, in order to achieve our goals. We’ve already seen in the United States that this leads to a culture where people sacrifice their health for the sake of their careers. From an ethical standpoint, it’s important to consider the impact of our pursuit of purpose on others. When we become consumed by our own achievements, we tend to neglect the needs and well-being of those around us. This can lead to a lack of empathy and a failure to recognize the importance of relationships and community. The pressure to achieve a certain accolade determined to gain purpose could also lead to unethical behavior, such as cutting corners, cheating, or exploiting others in order to get ahead or reach that goal. In order to avoid the pitfalls of chasing a purposeful life, it’s important to prioritize our individual well-being, and relationships. This means taking breaks when we need them, practicing self-care, and being mindful of our own limitations, and when we need breaks, because that means something different for everyone- I’ve seen that in medical school. A purposeful life should be one that is fulfilling, meaningful, and does not come at the expense of physical health or mental well-being. By striking a balance between our goals and our well-being, we can lead purposeful lives that are also healthy and sustainable in the long run. Easier said than done, but I’m going to do my best!
This was amazing. I truly believe the pursuit of wellness makes all things fall in alignment for us. The key result being a sense of peace that is simply wonderful!
Seeing this was about a month before COVID hit the US really hard… yikes. I want a follow up speech! I’m sure it would be just as beautiful as the first too.
Didn’t mean to watch this but thank you universe. I’ll try not to work so hard just to cover anxiety up, or for society. I really do want to be successful, but I need to be healthy along the way or it is not sustainable. I wish you all the best on your journey! We got this.
I believe wholeheartedly about this Wellness Movement. At 43, I know I'm not a millennial, but I drink water, eat salads, and I should Exercise more than I do. Even so, I'll drink Soda and Kool Aid every now and then, but only in moderation. I don't have a spouse and kiss yet, because I'm still trying to get to the point where I'm well enough physically, financially, and spiritually to support a family.
Wow this was amazing!!! And perfect time, I been struggling with my purpose but keep forgetting that wellness is important, i have to heal first and pay attention to myself. This was beautiful 💗
Thank you so much Chloe for sharing what is so important for all of us! Your Ted Talk actually came at the right time for me and was so inspiring. Self love is so important and taking care of our individual wellbeing is the key to a happy and fullfilling life. Thanks!!
I really happy that I found this. I really can't relate to everything she said. I have narcolepsy and have been though anxiety depression and panic attacks, over thinking. An lately I been thinking just to focus on my health overall and see where it takes me. Thank you God for letting me find this Ted talk
This was such a beautiful and heartwarming talk. Thank your for your message and grace. Your grandmother is beaming down on you and I hope you are still finding peace and wellness in life.
I find that if I follow and perfect the following areas: mind, body, spirit and family I will grow stronger and not only discover my purpose but sustain my purpose.
This was so needed especially since we're year 2 into COVID and that's been the focus, taking care of your overall wellness. I continually tell my clients that they need to focus on their 5 core of wellness.
Great Ted Talk - this video found me at the right time. I'm 27 and I graduate this summer from Community College and will be transitioning into a four year university this fall. A lot of blocked/neglected emotions have been surfacing (because of this big transition that's happening). Thank you for explaining that Wellness is key. It is time to figure out what health looks like physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and socially for me.
This is one of the best Ted Talks I’ve ever heard. I have never heard someone so young speak so well, you had me hanging on to every word. Amazing work. Well done and thank you for sharing!!
I'm so proud of you Chloe for talking about your personal story in regards to wellness! Dang...I never thought that you had to go through a cancer treatment just to get to where you are now. The bad relationship part I can understand. I hope that we can talk again in person. You did save my life, after all. :)
Athena, your messages always warm my heart and put the biggest smile on my face. Once this virus settles, we will get tea or hot chocolate together. You're a ray of sunshine on a gray day. :)
Wow... I would agree... this is what I have been searching for and I am 49. I grew up on purpose... that is all I have ever heard, which is why I have a full time job and 3 side hustles! I just felt a shift...
The mist incredible Ted Talk I’ve ever seen!!! I resonated completely with the feelings of burn out and overwhelm at trying to find fulfillment through purpose! What an honest and authentic voice!!! Wish I could hear more talks from her! I’ve been focusing on my mental/emotional and spiritual path these past couple years especially and I’m still feeling challenged but I know there’s hope in it! @F W… I completely agree that even at my age of 44 I can still make this mindset shift! Wish I knew at 26 that key information!!! Gonna save this video and maybe share it with some friends that should really see it! Thanks Chloe🙌🏼🙏🏻
This was so amazing. You are wise beyond your years and I am so glad you are sharing your journey with the world. Thank you so much for existing in your space as you are, and encouraging others to do the same. Keep up the good work, Chloe.
This was so encouraging to watch. I’ve been riding the struggle bus of nursing school since 2019. This has been such a hard season in my life. I’m finally seeking out resources for my mental health and to help me deal with the pressures of nursing school.
Each generation gives the next generation hope and permission. Mental health and self care were not introduced in the 60s or 70s. Parents from this time had a different responsibility and I truly and humbly thank them. My parents and those from that time opened doors and my generation opened windows. It’s beautiful to see that the next generation has now opened closets. I look forward to seeing what the generation following opens.
This was an amazing talk. Individuality will lead to self discovery , allowing everything to flow naturally and find you. I love how we have prioritized wellness and peace of mind. Truly unmatched.
this is one thing Millennials have gotten to faster than other generations: wellness is so underrated but is so intrinsic in every aspect of my life. I am on this journey now at 46. No better time to start than now.

This young lady is wise beyond her years and needs to be protected at all costs. I'm sharing this with my kids. Awesome Ted Talk!🙏🏽
This was a fantastic talk.
I am just so grateful that while our more modern world seems to have more anxiety than ever- we also have the data, the language, and basic mental health normalization- to actually address it.
This gives me faith in the future of humanity.
So grateful for this message. A lot of times we find ourselves getting caught up in this thing called "life" that we often neglect our well-being because we are so caught up in surviving rather than living...and for us at that. Message Recieved!
I struggle with this every day and at the moment I’m only 23. This affirmed what I’m working towards everyday, which is peace. Peace is always with us but I do believe it starts with wellness.
This Ted Talk was great!! Everything I'm feeling as a millennial. Sometimes we just go through life thinking we've dealt with everything we've been through but little do you know it's weighing on your mental. We must take care of ourselves first. Self care is essential, you're well-being is important.
Wow. "How can we make world peace when we don't know how to have peace for ourselves?" 💜 This is the exact thing that compelled me to embrace Islam. When I pray every day or listen to the Quran that is what inner peace is to me. ☪️ We all have our journeys to reach that place and it's honestly one of the greatest things we can ever do.
With all do respect Ma'ma God tells us in the Holy Bible 🙏🏽that there are many fake God's...but that He is the 'Only True God!' We do have free - will to believe in what we choose...however bible verse John 3:16 is the TRUE ANSWER,to all of life's problems. Please read it, and try Jesus...He is literally our '💜True Peace!' Take care and God bless you!
@Amira Lee You said this beautifully! ♥️ Prayer is very helpful in finding that inner peace. I know it helps me.
Sister, I adore this for you. I’m deeply grateful that Islam has provided you with such beautiful guidance. Thank you for sharing your kind reflection here 🤍✨
With all do respect... I encourage you to actually do your research on Islam. Allah means ONE God in Arabic. We love Jesus, but he is a prophet and that's all. Even in the Bible Jesus prays... So if you're praying to Jesus who is he praying too.. that's not fall into the trap of worshiping false idols because that is the number one major sin. May Allah bless and guide you. 🙏🏿💕
I love it too. I have a piece of art from the Dali Lama that says essentially that. Universal Truth!
Considering when she originally gave this talk, this was RIGHT ON TIME. So thankful she shared her experience, definitely resonates for me
Yes! Wow.
there is soo much pressure in society to be the best and being better than others.. it's breaks you inside.. all I want is to be mentally stable and happy with myself regardless of what others think.. I hope i get there one day.
Love how 'social' wellness was included
Love this. Our generation seems to understand this more but its causing a ripple effect for the older generation..which I'm glad. everyone deserves peace... wellness is definitely the way to go..
Well said.
SAY IT LOUD ASHLEY!!!!
🥺 This was amazing. It’s so profound that Chloe shared this with us before we would all be pretty much forced to sit with ourselves and reflect on our inner wellness. As a fellow overachiever and purpose chaser her story resonates with me deep deep. Over the past 5 months I have adjusted to finally allowing myself to focus on my wellness as the priority and not what I am producing/improving in the world. I’m so thankful to have found this video. 💛🕊
Whenever I am about to set out for the day, I constantly remind myself that there is nothing to be afraid about out there, because it's either it works or it doesn't, but that does not mean I won't try. That way I clearly redefine my "purpose" as against "wellness".
facts we can only do our best since we are extremely incapable of fighting against the universe
@@mjahidyousef2151 Sure! Nature is a force of its own.
I suffer from an anxiety disorder and I am Generation X. This was one of the most beautiful TED talks I have heard. And you are so right. Wellness body, mind and soul is what really fills us up.
YES INDEEDY!!!!
a healthy mind is a healthy body, and a healthy body is a healthy mind
Mrs. Chloe, you helped me realize so much. I done cried, laughed, and innerstood exactly why I’ve been feeling the way I’ve been feeling. You literally spoke to me, and I appreciate your testimony. Thank You so much, I thank God for speaking through you.
She is not old enough to be called Mrs. Chloe. Don't look for reasons to treat women as if they are old when they are young. I am sure you don't do that with men.
My daughter is 26 and this is her story to the T. 💜
Ya girl. We gotta be honest with ourselves. Love yourself.
What a beautiful and bright woman! Such a great message that’s hitting home for me right now.
12:45 The key to living a healthy life. Thrive through things that are challenging and wonderful at the same time. Called wellness. Thank you for this video so beautiful! Such an amazing soul. Thank you for sharing🙏
Hi Chloe, so proud to hear of your Trinidadian heritage. I'm in Trinidad 🇹🇹. Making us proud!
Watching this just now helped me make a decision that isn't a huge one, but is one that pits "what I should do" vs. "what is good for me." I choose what is good for me. I'm GenX and LOVE learning from gifted millennials like this beautiful soul.
Brilliant delivery and refreshingly authentic. Thank you.
I started crying at 14:36, one of my fav TedTalks
Thank you for the wonderful Ted talk I have been doing work on myself and haven't felt this good in years. The more I trust that all this hard work will pay off the more I've seen it come to fruition. ❤️
I'm 38 and everything you said resonate with me...I'm also Trinidadian....keep up the great work sis❤❤⚘🙏🏿
🦋💘This is my second time listening to this talk at different points in my life. Each time was thought provoking and phenomenal. The first time I heard this, I I was getting deathly ill, and the next time was nine months later surviving internal bleeding twice and healing. Thank you for this amazing talk.💘🦋
I love this. I’ve been driving myself crazy being a part of the chase. Now I just want to be happy and at peace.
Well done! As a Transformational Life Coach the one thing that amazes me is how many people go through the “26-33 years old change.” and we are not aware that this is a natural change that will occur but we are not informed so when the changes start to happen many labels are attached to it. That change can happen easier if we are informed and prepared. I am happy you shared your experience and your topic is wonderful. Great job fellow Caribbean 🙏🏾
What a brilliant brilliant and amazing young lady. Fortunately we are in a day and time where it’s more acceptable to talk about these things. We now have Immediate access to wellness and mindfulness through social media that was never really available to previous generations. Our grandparents and our ancestors did not have access to these resources and it definitely was not an acceptable societal standards. The boldness of millennials are making a difference for all generations.
I lived everything about this TED Talk. I related so much and the words that was spoken by this beautiful being was everything I needed to hear at this very moment. It’s 3:40am and I believe I now have clarity on what my focus should be from here on out. Thank you Ms. Hakim-Moore & to think we share the same last name ❤️
COOL!
I’ve literally been living this and teaching as many people that would lend an ear to this for the last 5 years!!! No goal setting let’s just get better…mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually
Suggestion: Set goals; but put your physical, mental and spiritual health first.
Amazing talk!!! I'm 29 and after several therapy sessions, I'm finally discovering this for myself.
So glad I stumbled across this! Self love and wellness is really all we need to make the world a better place.
YES LAAAWWWDDD!!!!!
Bless you Ms Moore for sharing a universal truth! Change for the better always starts with the betterment of self. Honesty about our frailties will yield a path of discovery to what holds us back from living the abundant life!
that's crazy i felt that same way as a millennial in 2015. most of that year i had panic attacks/anxiety. i was living working with strangers for 11 months but i learned that wellness as a whole was important. living in a new location every month or so and learning to be outside my comfort zone, those people became good friends with, and shift my perspective in life
watched this a few days before my 25th birthday and have to say, i really needed this one. it's so easy to get caught up in the idea that we should have accomplished something by a certain age, but i think everyone has a different life cycle and it's okay to just stay more present.
This TED talk spoke to me, as a millennial and a medical student who is consistently surrounded by messages of purpose. Who goes to medical school without that driver? The pursuit of a purposeful life is an admirable endeavor, but can, as Chloe mentioned, be a double-edged sword. On one hand, having a clear sense of purpose can give us direction, motivation, and a sense of fulfillment. On the other hand, chasing that “purpose” can lead to an unhealthy amount of stress, higher risk of burnout, and decreased focus on wellness, and on living in the moment. It's important to note that there isn’t anything inherently wrong with having a sense of purpose. In fact, observational studies referenced in the Blue Zones show that having a sense of purpose is linked to greater health and a longer lifespan. However, the problem arises when we become so obsessed with achieving our purpose that we neglect other important aspects of our lives, such as our health and relationships. In our society, there’s often a pressure to be constantly achieving and striving for success. We’re told that we should always be working towards something: a promotion at work, a personal goal, a social cause. While these focuses can be motivating in the short-term, they could can also lead to chronic stress and burnout if we don’t take breaks and prioritize self-care. Thank you for reminding us to pause and do this, Chloe. The idea of a “purposeful life” is often conflated with a life of productivity and achievement. As a society, we’re encouraged to work harder, longer, and smarter, in order to achieve our goals. We’ve already seen in the United States that this leads to a culture where people sacrifice their health for the sake of their careers. From an ethical standpoint, it’s important to consider the impact of our pursuit of purpose on others. When we become consumed by our own achievements, we tend to neglect the needs and well-being of those around us. This can lead to a lack of empathy and a failure to recognize the importance of relationships and community. The pressure to achieve a certain accolade determined to gain purpose could also lead to unethical behavior, such as cutting corners, cheating, or exploiting others in order to get ahead or reach that goal. In order to avoid the pitfalls of chasing a purposeful life, it’s important to prioritize our individual well-being, and relationships. This means taking breaks when we need them, practicing self-care, and being mindful of our own limitations, and when we need breaks, because that means something different for everyone- I’ve seen that in medical school. A purposeful life should be one that is fulfilling, meaningful, and does not come at the expense of physical health or mental well-being. By striking a balance between our goals and our well-being, we can lead purposeful lives that are also healthy and sustainable in the long run. Easier said than done, but I’m going to do my best!
WISDOM. I’m doing this in my life now-understanding my worth and setting the bar higher than ever.
This woman has so much wisdom and charisma ❤
This was amazing. I truly believe the pursuit of wellness makes all things fall in alignment for us. The key result being a sense of peace that is simply wonderful!
J’ai k
Seeing this was about a month before COVID hit the US really hard… yikes. I want a follow up speech! I’m sure it would be just as beautiful as the first too.
You cant find your purpose, purpose discovers the ones who seeks the truth.
This. is. the. reason. Thank you Chloe.
Didn’t mean to watch this but thank you universe. I’ll try not to work so hard just to cover anxiety up, or for society.
I really do want to be successful, but I need to be healthy along the way or it is not sustainable.
I wish you all the best on your journey! We got this.
I believe wholeheartedly about this Wellness Movement. At 43, I know I'm not a millennial, but I drink water, eat salads, and I should Exercise more than I do. Even so, I'll drink Soda and Kool Aid every now and then, but only in moderation. I don't have a spouse and kiss yet, because I'm still trying to get to the point where I'm well enough physically, financially, and spiritually to support a family.
What a Beauty: wise, strong. Pride of her grandmother, surely. Thank you for this
Wow this was amazing!!! And perfect time, I been struggling with my purpose but keep forgetting that wellness is important, i have to heal first and pay attention to myself. This was beautiful 💗
Thank you so much Chloe for sharing what is so important for all of us! Your Ted Talk actually came at the right time for me and was so inspiring. Self love is so important and taking care of our individual wellbeing is the key to a happy and fullfilling life. Thanks!!
I really happy that I found this. I really can't relate to everything she said. I have narcolepsy and have been though anxiety depression and panic attacks, over thinking. An lately I been thinking just to focus on my health overall and see where it takes me. Thank you God for letting me find this Ted talk
This is WONDERFUL and a must-watch for ALL!
Advice from a 25 year old. Yeah 😁
This was such a beautiful and heartwarming talk. Thank your for your message and grace. Your grandmother is beaming down on you and I hope you are still finding peace and wellness in life.
I find that if I follow and perfect the following areas: mind, body, spirit and family I will grow stronger and not only discover my purpose but sustain my purpose.
I am so pleased with this entire presentation. Chloe is on point! This message was communicated well and I’m glad I took the time to listen✨ 💯
Thank you are the only words I can express right now. Thank you!
She is literally amazing !! I hope she does more this
thank you Chloe for your moving story! I really needed it!
This was so needed especially since we're year 2 into COVID and that's been the focus, taking care of your overall wellness. I continually tell my clients that they need to focus on their 5 core of wellness.
Thank you Miss Moore for your message is timely as a Trinidadian myself......
Really loved this talk. Wellness is sooooo important and it is multidimensional. When you pursue wellness you automatically pursue purpose.
BEAUTIFULLY SAID!!!!!
Great Ted Talk - this video found me at the right time. I'm 27 and I graduate this summer from Community College and will be transitioning into a four year university this fall. A lot of blocked/neglected emotions have been surfacing (because of this big transition that's happening). Thank you for explaining that Wellness is key.
It is time to figure out what health looks like physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and socially for me.
I was depressed 😔 since I was 8. I worked myself out of it. Most difficult yet beautiful thing I've ever had to do
I hope you continue to appreciate yourself and what you done for yourself.
@@jadoresophya thank you. Although difficult at times. I come out on top regardless.
This is one of the best Ted Talks I’ve ever heard. I have never heard someone so young speak so well, you had me hanging on to every word. Amazing work. Well done and thank you for sharing!!
I'm so proud of you Chloe for talking about your personal story in regards to wellness! Dang...I never thought that you had to go through a cancer treatment just to get to where you are now. The bad relationship part I can understand. I hope that we can talk again in person. You did save my life, after all. :)
Athena, your messages always warm my heart and put the biggest smile on my face. Once this virus settles, we will get tea or hot chocolate together. You're a ray of sunshine on a gray day. :)
@@chloehakim-moore So are you Chloe!💛☀🌼
@@dianediane1245 Thanks so much!
Wow... I would agree... this is what I have been searching for and I am 49. I grew up on purpose... that is all I have ever heard, which is why I have a full time job and 3 side hustles! I just felt a shift...
13:50 - PURPOSE!
Constantly pursing goals as purpose leaves us with "Peace and fulfilment just outside of our reach"
The mist incredible Ted Talk I’ve ever seen!!! I resonated completely with the feelings of burn out and overwhelm at trying to find fulfillment through purpose! What an honest and authentic voice!!! Wish I could hear more talks from her! I’ve been focusing on my mental/emotional and spiritual path these past couple years especially and I’m still feeling challenged but I know there’s hope in it! @F W… I completely agree that even at my age of 44 I can still make this mindset shift! Wish I knew at 26 that key information!!! Gonna save this video and maybe share it with some friends that should really see it! Thanks Chloe🙌🏼🙏🏻
This was so amazing. You are wise beyond your years and I am so glad you are sharing your journey with the world. Thank you so much for existing in your space as you are, and encouraging others to do the same. Keep up the good work, Chloe.
She's so cute! What a great great message! So thankful I watched this!
This was so encouraging to watch. I’ve been riding the struggle bus of nursing school since 2019. This has been such a hard season in my life. I’m finally seeking out resources for my mental health and to help me deal with the pressures of nursing school.
I was thinking of pursuing a nursing degree. I still am. Stay encouraged!
-Someone who cares

Speaking TRUTH to POWER!
Each generation gives the next generation hope and permission. Mental health and self care were not introduced in the 60s or 70s. Parents from this time had a different responsibility and I truly and humbly thank them. My parents and those from that time opened doors and my generation opened windows. It’s beautiful to see that the next generation has now opened closets. I look forward to seeing what the generation following opens.
Love your perspective and I agree.
This was an amazing talk. Individuality will lead to self discovery , allowing everything to flow naturally and find you. I love how we have prioritized wellness and peace of mind. Truly unmatched.
