  • You're not alone. I recorded this back in January. I wondered whether to release it. Today I found the courage. I'm still working through the challenges. They will be there every day, and that's okay.

      Don't overthink... now there's a challenge 🤣. I really appreciate the positive vibes - thanks for such an encouraging comment. I love making videos and making music, so that's not going to change. I'm working on finding the right balance between rough-and-ready informal chats (which often contain no useful information!), and detailed, planned video essays. It's not an easy one - but life's not worth living without challenges! Love back-atcha from Jupiter orbit. ✨🪐

      @MikeRenouf just BE, my friend that's all it takes, I'm defo an overthinker, but I switch off when I jam as for me if I'm in too much mindfulness it scuppers the creative juice, and you are flying in general, cool channel, cool views of opinion and a cool community throwing you support on the reggy, keep er lit sir, and just do YOU, ti's all good big sir Ten Hut 🫡

    Knowing you recorded this in January really adds context. Checks and balances! Doubt is a check.

    So many insights :) "It's all in my head" - yes. "This is like therapy" - yes - life is therapy, just be open to it. Never try to be yourself - the whole concept of "yourself" is debatable - try to have fun and you'll be good. xoxo

    Live is the way, then the mind never focuses on a fix or a can do better, you just flow with no choice, once your makin videos and editing if you have any mild concern you will be all over it because you have the fix or do better option, but going live reduces the extra unnecessary thoughts, and that is why you find your flow place...
    You will always be more conscious of a recording because you know it can be redone, but when live, it is what it will be

    • @MikeRenouf
      @MikeRenouf  6 місяців тому

      Totally agree eMo! I'm still trying to find that balance between genuine, relaxed and informal videos, with presentations that are accurate, full of value and contain interesting information. It's a knife edge and not easy! Thanks for the regular encouragement! ✨🪐

      @MikeRenouf all good sir, perhaps you should find a formula for the variations of content, or maybe that's the reason you are having current ponders, as you strive to find that worklfow for the content variation, in search of that routine that fits, nevertheless a great conversation this always, as many people have their ways n means in struggle or flow state

    • @MikeRenouf

      I think you nailed it there - everyone likes a 'format' because it feels comfortable, dependable and they know what they're getting. Good input my friend 👍

    I often record 5 -6 vids before I'm like I've had enough now I'm posting this one . Lots of um's and fuck offs and head grabbing (which doesn't really get seen cos thats usually off camera. Oh and I've noticed when i feel like ive done something wrong I rub or scratch my nose 🤷🏼‍♂️. Then thought im glad i dont play poker 🤣.

      Hehe. Yeah stay away from the casinos with a tell like that!
      The editing of videos certainly throws a lot of options into the situation - how much to do keep in, or chop out... Sanitize the presentation too much and it feels hollow and false. Keep it all in and risk boring people with 'ummm... Errr...'
      Everything comes down to creative choices. ✨🪐

    The more you record yourself the less you'll be in your head. You gotta make the choice not to a fu*k too much.
