Hi Ana, my 40s, like yours were filled with some very big problems and challenges. Looking for a bit of gratitude for the good things in my life really helped me to cope with the remorse and sadness I felt for the things I had lost. Yoga has been a sustaining tool that helps with my physical health and my mental well being. I will always feel remorse, sadness, and some anger when I experience unwanted change, but I've found that the simplest things - a bike ride, watching birds gather at the feeder in my back yard, or a phone call to a friend can lift my spirits for a little while. You and Brian have had to face, and continue to face, towering obstacles, road blocks, and quandary. I do hope you can find safe harbor.
Hi Ted! Oh, gratitude is such a vital part of my daily mental/emotional routine too! and I agree that the simplest things are the ones that bring big changes to our mood. Thank you for your gentle and supportive presence, as always 🌿
Yoga is demonic in nature and should not be used in anyones life!
You are wise beyond your years. Dear Ana, I don't always get to listen to you the day you put out your videos, but I seek them out. I am close to the end of the road with an issue that has been going on for almost 4 years now. I don't know what the outcome will be. But I know, whatever it is, it will be alright. Everything always works out in the end.
I love what you said about gentle challenges, and I agree. I think it’s good to not let anxiety, fear, and hyper-sensitivity rule your life…tempting as it may be. Otherwise, next thing you know it becomes too much to even leave the house.
Finding balance is key. That, and learning to trust yourself.
It pains me to look back in my 20s and some of my 30s, and see how I disrespected myself, both in what I put in my body, and the relationships I was in. Now as I work to repair all of that, I’ve never felt better. Change is scary, but it also opens the doors to new experiences. I’m excited to see what’s next in your adventure! I admire your courage, creativity, and ability to remain authentically present and connected throughout the experience.
Hi Katherine 🌸You've made very important points, thank you. Changes are indeed the doors to new experiences, so beautifully said!
I had to make big scary changes when I was younger, because the prospect of continuing to live the same way for good was scarier. Changes that are not chosen are much harder to deal with but I found that every time it gave me either new opportunities in ways I was unable to have or even imagine before or led me to personal growth. And it never ends. Life is a series of big adventures and I try to remember to embrace that, especially if going through difficult and scary times.
I can so relate to your thoughts and approach to changes. Life as an adventure is one of my best-working grounding thoughts too! Thank you so much for being here, my friend 🌸
I love you so much, dear Ana! Whatever is coming in your life, i wish you all the best. Life can be really difficult, and encountering special souls like you just makes it easier and joyful. Big hug! 🤗
You have been so brave, Ana, so resilient. It has taken me many years to learn that one of the most important skills to have is the ability to adapt! It is a difficult thing for me. I feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings, familiar routines....but I am learning.
Thanks always for your perspective
I like what you said about intentional decluttering. I'm in a place now where I have been living in my current home for a year, and there has started to get some clutter in those corners where it's easy to ignore it, or clothes I bought that don't look right on me, or the garage. So I'm trying to pay attention to those places and clean up and declutter so that the house gets back to the way I like it.
I surely need the productivity class, Thank you 🙏
Thanks Ana! I always enjoy your videos! I am 58, and the changes never stop coming!
Excellent topic and video. 😊
Hey Ana and Brian! Beautiful and powerful video. I'm going through some changes myself at the moment, and working on focus, as well. That love hoodie suits you: soft, cozy, classic. I've seen the two inspiring quotes before, but it's been so long they weren't front of mind, so thank you for bringing them back into view. Whatever changes are coming, at least you will be weathering them together. I'm very glad you're able to maintain contact with your family. Stay safe. Namaste'. 💖💖💖
Thank you dear Ana for another thoughtful vlog. As I've grown older I find that during challenging times, I get more done and am able to focus more by stripping everything down to the basics. I see you are doing this too so bravo. It seems so many suffer from anxiety these days. Recently I've read that Neurofeedback can help with this. You might like to check it out. I'm hoping to check it out myself but it will be awhile yet before I do.
Ana, the idea of this video, to accept and prepare for new seasons in our lives, perhaps try new strategies, is quite forward looking and positive. I think you forties will be good years, Ana.
With a gentle smile, great intelligence and an open heart, you have encouraged others to be well, creative, and resilient all the way from your Siberian home and them though the stresses of cross-border moves, needing to generate income to pay bills, and leaving family, possibly permanently. I think you’ll continue to connect with family as best you can, will continue to make a good life with your husband, and you’ll increase your earnings over time, by following your own advice :-)
Thank you for your kindest, supportive words, dear friend ❤️ They brought me a wave of gentle confidence today.
@@anagoldberg I saw a rude comment yesterday (not saying which one), so I decided to send some ❤️ your way.
Also, I guess you caught my typo above; I meant to say “and then through…”
Ana, one more video about "What i eat in a day" please.🙏❤️
Whenever I clean, I put your videos in the background. Keeps me motivated😂❤
Thank you, Ana. Always uplifting.
Your video, as always, is precious as well. Thanks Ana.
Another great video Ana. Have a wonderful day
Thank you Ana for your wonderful videos. I can relate to so much of what you say in your videos. I am also an introvert and creative - drawing and photography being my main artistic expressions. I am also quite sensitive and I have been through several periods of depression in my life. I am in my late 40’s and I just discovered a year ago that I am autistic. I do also have some traits indicating adhd, especially procrastination or executive-disfunction. Autism and adhd are often connected. I now think my depression is best explained as autistic burnout after periods of stressful changes and from constant masking or hiding my autism. I am what used to be called high-functioning autistic or Asperger syndrome- but high-functioning comes at a cost because when you hide your autistic traits and discomfort in various circumstances eventually you suffer burnout/depression. If you suspect you may have adhd I recommend you also look into autism - there are some quite good online tests for autism spectrum quotient (AQ) that may be helpful. Knowing now I am neurodivergent has been a tremendous help understanding my strengths and challenges and with that knowledge I feel better equipped to maintain my mental wellbeing.
Thank you for sharing your experience and for your gentle suggestion, my friend 🌸
As you say Ana, change is always happening. Change brings both challenges and opportunities - change fosters resilience and creativity - change allows us to see how we have grown as well as how strong and resourceful we are. When we allow ourselves to be centered in our inner wisdom, trust our intuition, know that the loving and supportive Universe wants us to have the most loving and joyous life we can imagine, and access our natural balance and flexibility, we can move with more confidence and more excitement that if we get lost in fear or anxiety. In watching your channel, for some time now, I have seen how much you have grown and how much you have allowed yourself to find the flow that moves through life, and use it to take you places you may not have thought you were capable of going. All the best to you and Brian as you continue your inner and outer journeys. Peace & Blessings.
As always, your beautiful words brought me a lot of peace and self-reflection. Thank you, Willowbei 🌿
Excellent thoughts on this topic - thanks Ana
Still watching but really excited about your thumb piano. I love mine so much. I don’t play well, but it gives me joy and distraction when I need it.
I'm glad to see you being more open to embracing change, or at least you have developed a new mechanism to help you make it a more effective experience. I wish you all the best in whatever new adventures ahead of you.
Dear Anastacia, your channel brings me solace in very grey and confusing days like today. Thank you.
Your friend, Luz.
Dear Luz, I'm so glad to read this, thank you for being here ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this with us, we're so lucky to have you!
...."changes are always around the corner, deep and transforming"..so true dear Anna ! I also kind of struggle to have a structure and not be distracted by different things that might come up. Good idea to take this ADHD test. Maybe I should try this as well. So, thank you for another very inspiring video 🙏 Every Sunday I am happy to see when you upload and really enjoy your thoughtful content and your calming way of talking🥰.
By the way your eyes sparkle while talking🌟🤩, very beautiful.
All the best to you and Brian💐and lots of love from Hamburg
Thank you for your kindest words, dear friend ❤️ Sending lots of love to Hamburg from Belgrade!
I love your gentle approaches Anna. Thank you.
Dear Ana,
Još jedan predivan video.
Promene su uvek dobrodošle.Nikad nisam volela da upadnem u zamku rutine i da mi je svaki dan isti.
Kažu da čovek ne stari sve dok ima planove.
Ovaj me video potakao na razmišljanje.Hvala ti na tome.Veliki pozdrav tebi i Brajanu.❤❤❤
This is such a great saying! Thank you for sharing this, draga Nena ❤️ Sending love!
Thank you Ana. This video has come at the time I most need it. It's been a great help to me. I'm packing up my house and trying to adjust to moving on to a smaller one up north, as my children also leave home to go to university. I will try to embrace this change and keep the door firmly shut to that black dog that is trying to get it. ♡
Dear Kate, wishing you all the best with the move ❤️
I loved this video, the quotes & photography are so beautiful. Yes we all have to go through changes big or small & your content is so wise & helpful. Thanks so much & have a lovely week ❤💐🌞
Thank you, Sharon! You too, have a beautiful week ❤️
perfect timing! i’m starting school tomorrow in a new class which makes me a bit nervous. now i’m gonna watch your video and hopefully it will ease my worries 😊 new beginnings can be lovely if you let it!
Wishing you all the best with the new class, my friend! 🌷
@@anagoldberg thank you so much 🌷 it went well, i let myself be present and not let anxiety take too much space of my day. it was a challenge for me, meeting new people but i was gentle with myself and it made me feel very safe. i love your account, you’re an amazing human with a kind heart, we need more of you 💓
Letting my life just flow as it may is hard for me. I want to work on this. I think I will probably be happier ❤. Great video. I like that hoodie too.
I feel you, Elise! I have the same struggle, but little by little, acceptance is taking its place 😊Thank you for being here ❤️
Thank you, Ana, for sharing part of your day with me!
xoxo's Sandie☺🌷
Thaank you for being here, dear Sandie ❤️
This is the first video I've ever been recommended by you, so I am new to your channel. and I'm sorry to make it about this because I know it's not at all what the video is about, but seconds in and I am questioning. You are in your 40s? That is amazing, I am a 25 year old woman and I feel as though you look as young, or even younger, than me. I am really curious to know what your lifestyle is like, such as diet, exercise, sun exposure, and other things you might do or not do (for example, drink/not drink, saunas, cold exposure? which can mean like wim hof style or living in a very cold environment in general). I know stress also plays a big part in aging.
I would be really grateful to know more about how you can achieve such a youthful and healthy look, I'll look around your channel now for more answers and also to listen to your life advice.
Ciao Ana, I found your video during a moment of my life in which a lot is gonna change. I use mindfulness meditation to not fall into overwhelming emotions but my best "skill" (that comes from not so good things about the past) is to disconnect from my emotion. With this method I do not feel overwhelmed by the anxiety or the fear of failure, but I also deprive myself of the good emotions too (excitement, curiosity, joy...). I know that this mechanism, even if useful, is a bad thing for my personal growth, so I'm experimenting other kind of things to ground myself in the right place while the change happens. Your words are like hugs in a world where everyone's best suggestion is "get over it, all of us pass through changes and nobody died for this, it's not a tragedy!". Thank you 🌻
I hope you'll find the best grounding practice that works for you, my friend. I know from my own experience that it's a slow and probably never-ending journey. Sending you much love and support ❤️ Thank you for being here 🌸
Your videos are always so soothing and uplifting, to someone who tends to see everything at once and gets frozen! Lol! Thank you for all you share, Ana. Your perceptions and your energy are a gift. 💖🌼🌺
You're so kind, my friend ❤️Thank you for being here!
Hi Ana, thank you for your video. It has helped me a lot as I am going through many changes right now. Take care Gale x
Hi Gale! Sending you love and support, dear friend 🌷
Love, love ana. Your way and on this video. I get trouble with focus and will check out the skillshare. Finally, i love concept of gentle challenges and wish wellness. Big Thanks! Paka paka (sp) :))
Very nice video 💯☕🙋🏻♀️👍
Very inspiring presentation. I love your presentation give me new perspective on evolving and growing. Thank you for sharing
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, dear Maria ❤️ Sending love
Thanks a lot for this video - it made my evening calm, open and relaxing... and I love the Virginia Woolf quote you chose :)
Thanks!
Thank you for your kind support, Shirley ❤️

Wait until you hit your 50's! It gets a little tougher.. But hey we learn to adapt, may I suggest a book or a philosophy try Marcus Aurelius meditations..
Hallo Ana, such as always I enjoy watching your video and hearing your calming voice. I hope you will not leave Serbia because I am happy that so nice and mindful people came to live in our country, and I think that you have a lot to offer to our society to strive to become better place more inclusive and more acceptable to others and other ways of thinking.
I have one question regarding Skillshare- when someone purchase membership, does monthly fee covers all courses that somebody follow or there’s a separate fee for each course that somebody follow on the top of monthly fee?
Thank you for your kind words, my friend 🌸As for your question - with membership you get access to all courses on Skillshare, without any exception, the complete library. The free trial with my link also provides the complete access to all classes. Hope this helps! ❤️
@@anagoldberg thank you so much for your reply, now is clear. Wishing you all the best 🍀
Hi Ana,
Please share what kind of yoga you practice, it seems to be very good and helpful, l want to try, but l am sure you need a teacher, and also l hope it is not too late to start at 65 years old.
Thank you ❤
It's never too late to start yoga, my friend! I used to go to a studio years ago, but now I practice at home. I can 100% recommend the following channels here on UA-cam: "Yoga with Kassandra" and "Yoga with Adriene". Start gradually, with classes for beginners and maybe give a 30-day yoga challenge a try! (both channels have a variety them). Hope this helps 🌸
@@anagoldberg thank you
Вы переехали из Р в Сербию?
Sorry for the change of subject, but I've been wondering what happened to your cat?
He's staying with my elder niece now, happy and thriving 😊
@@anagoldbergSo very happy to hear that! Hope that gives you comfort and peace of mind as U find steady ground🙏🏻❣️
I wizh people would add 'mental and phyzical' when they talk about 'health'. You can ruin your life with bad mental health juzt az much - ok, i did care work, i would zay, phyzical pain iz worze becauze you don't zleep, with mental pain you do fall azleep, you get a break - but you can ztill ruin your life with it
Anastasia, I love you! I think you're great but your videos 😢make me a bit sad because they are often too melancholic, sad and serious! You're young, healthy and beautiful! Please don't take life too seriously despite all the hardships. Lighten up ❤
I think a refugee (sort of) has the right to be a little melacholical. Who wouldn't in her situation? May I suggest you all read an old novel by Erich Maria Remarque, The Arch of Triumf, that novel (and movie) have similar vibe as Ana's videos!
@@v_hovila You're right! But I keep waiting for her success, peace of mind and happiness! I want to see her thrive! I wish her all the best ❤️
Andrea, it is almost as if you expect Ana to be happy just for you! She is being authentic and also profoundly philosophical with messages for any deep thinker.
@@judithrussell9162 You're probably right 🤔
@@judithrussell9162 things are so shitty nowadays in my country that I need more cheerful and light content...
Love all of your videos but this one really sparkled with me today. Thanks!
Well, im not surprised my dear :-) because ADD/ADHD is underdiagnosed among women. Welcome to the club ; -)
Sorry to be so shallow about it, I understand your channel is much more than that. As well as you as a person. But I really believe all of that which I previously mentioned goes beyond looks, also means that the underlying health is good as well due to slowed aging.
Even if you said you got botox, and that's the real reason why, I would be grateful just for the honesty 🫶🏻 Just wanting to know how it's possible for myself to apply whatever steps people like you have taken
❤
