Y/N: hey hobi

Y/N: is everything alright?

Let's just say

I am happy you are okay

well, really

I was so worried

really

I couldn't even sleep

I have been trying to reach you all day but you weren't answering so

I've been

really, really concerned

I was scared

I still am honestly

but there was really no reason for you to distance yourself like this

you know I wouldn't judge you

I just want to understand

talk to me please

I think I know a little

about what those scars are

I am not going to make you explain

but I know they are not an accident

I have seen those before on other people

I know how self harm looks like

and it's what I saw on you yesterday

don't worry

I am really not mad at you or anything

this doesn't change anything

no matter what you are still my lovely Y/N

it's just

I was so surprised

I really didn't mean to cry

but it really hurts to see you hurt

and I felt so sad

I get that

you were scared

but I don't want you to be

I want to be here for you

and I can't be if you keep shutting me out

I really want to

support you

even if you don't

feel like talking about it

or anything like that

cause as I hope you know

the worst thing for me is

is to see the people I love hurting

so I've thought a lot about how to help you

and honestly

I have no idea how to

I looked it up online

cause I want to learn as much as possible about this

it is

more important now

I have only seen it

from afar

no one I personally know has ever done this

But I have actually seen it on some ARMY

I wish they wouldn't

do this to themselves

I always want to help them but

it's a really sensitive subject

so I can't help

for real

it makes me so upset

this is too

stigmatized

I want to talk about it

let people know they are not alone and there's hope

so many people go through this

I wish people knew

it is an addiction

the same as any other drug

you want to stop but then it won't let go

and you feel trapped and lonely

with this

and I've noticed that it's sometimes called a "trend"among the young

in some articles

it's even something

shameful to some

A lot of people think it's about attention

but the majority hide their scars anyways

they don't want people to think it's for attention

another reason for hiding it

could be

fear of being forced to stop

cause when you have self-harmed for a while

it becomes like

your own safe place

somewhere you can feel something

when you need an escape

from things you can't talk to people about

because they would never understand

what you are going through

and even

if you told them you self harm

they'd ask why

and you don't even know yourself

I think only people who go through it

can actually understand

what I mean..

I feel like I am beating around the bush

so I am just gonna say what I think

I really

hate this

I hate that you are hurting yourself

and I really want you to stop

but I know I can't demand that

and it makes me so frustrated

you know?

I wish I could

throw everything away

everything you use

but I know

that

I can't do that to you

only you can actually

I think

you should realize how serious this is

your life is on the line here

and is it worth it?

no it really isn't

this is nothing but bad

nothing about it is good

it makes you feel worse

at least

in the long run it can be really bad

and affect you very negatively

I know it can be hard

to imagine yourself without it

I agree it's scary parting with something you are so attached to

finding other things

and ignoring it

I can imagine

it is very challenging

because you have

made it your place of comfort

you just need it

it's important to know that you actually don't need it

and this is what you can

tell yourself.. when

you want it

convince yourself

that you

don't /need/ it

because you don't

try to challenge it and see it as your enemy

it isn't your friend and it can't do anything nice for you or anything like that

only temporary fixes

and then you are left with

scars forever

and speaking of

I don't think

you should be ashamed of your scars

but

you need to

think about the circumstances

and if it's suitable

to show them in a situation

if you are going out with some friends

I think it's alright to show it then

and if they

feel uncomfortable then it is

really just something they need to get over

cause if they can't accept you for it

then

they can't accept who you are

cause it really is a part of you

and if they are fresh wounds

which I hope not

maybe it is

better not to bring attention to it

focus on keeping them safe

but of course when you are with me

you don't have to

I don't mind them

I want you to feel comfortable around me

so you don't have to

hide anymore

I am not judgmental about it

My heart just clenches at the thought

but I don't think you understand

how much this affects me

it has made me think a lot

and I am.. I just

feel really /hopeless/ about it you know?

I have always thought

that I could be a better boyfriend to you

and I am just realizing how bad I have been

Y/N: don't say that~

but it's true

I couldn't see how bad you felt and it's kinda my job

so I feel like I have a part in this

but now we can only look forward

we can start by

how can you

get out of this bubble?

that you find yourself in

when you self harm

we have to figure it out

you can try different things

ask yourself why do I want it now

is it really

gonna solve your problems

at all

like I said you can convince yourself you don't need it

and find something else to do

you know that

I care about you so much

more than anything

more than you know

I really f*cking do

I just want you to know

I think you are the most beautiful and precious

person I have ever known

and laid eyes on

I wish you knew that

and I know you always think

that I am lying about it

but I am really truthful

I think I have always known

you aren't totally okay

I don't know

why I didn't act on it

but I think it was subconscious

and whenever you would like flinch

or move away

I would just brush it off

I really thought it was just me

because I can be over the top sometimes

and you might not be used to that

cause you are

more of the quiet type

and I can be too optimistic sometimes, missing out on details

because I can be like that

a little off

I haven't discovered this sooner

and kinda let your self harm get this bad

so I really want

I want to apologize for that

from now on I am

going to be as aware as possible

and I want to be the best boyfriend I can be

and help you out

even if I don't understand everything

I will always do my best to

and cheer you up

make you smile

and as happy as possible

if it wasn't for work I would come to you

and I have never hated my schedule this much

but everything is gonna be okay

I will be there soon

and we can sit down and talk about it

but for now we can

speak over the phone like this

and I will be near my phone whenever you call

you know

I totally believe

you can overcome this and be the happiest person alive

it seems impossible now

but just wait and you will see

it will take a lot of effort and It's not gonna be perfect

but it's okay

nothing is really perfect

we have to struggle and feel pain

to make a happy future

I really

really

think you can do this

you know I really love you

and really grateful

that I still have you

I really love you.. heart

Y/N: I love you too hobi, thank you for understanding

Y/N: I feel like crying right now. I don't know if I am sad or relieved

maybe both

don't cry now, it's okay

you know I would too then

promise you will be careful

I want you safe

whenever you feel weak or tired

you just need to call me

when you feel nothing is worth living for

any longer

I am here then

you know my name is J-hope for a reason

I am your hope

I'll be your strength

Don't forget about me

I love you

bye!

Week of December 30, 2018 Spiritual Self-Mastery Class ~ Ego & Heart w/ Sloane Rhodes - Duration: 17:02.

hi subscribers hi everyone it's Sloane Rhodes here with your weekly self mastery

class ego and heart for the week of December 30th 2018 this is the last

class for the years so that's kind of expecting today I'm gonna be drawing

from the mission of the Oracle deck by Colette Baron Reid and we'll be looking

at one card as the energy for the week and how the ego may try to distract us

from what can be a more peaceful place and where we can explore the

heart-centered energies based on that same energy and then one card in the

position of what we can expect or look forward to regardless and I did want to

remind everyone that there's still two more days to take advantage of the sale

it's 15% off all of my video readings as well as all gift certificates for video

readings that you can utilize for yourself throughout the next year you

don't have to have a reading right away if you're not quite ready but it is a

good savings and also 40% off this is a great deal for my online courses in

particular that three pillars of intuition and methodology for reading

Oracle and tarot cards it's a great deal in that particular course there are

links below and above and also the how to read or record for beginners course

is also an excellent deal and I have a small course how to read crystals or how

to work crystals so you may want to take advantage of that if you have been on

the fence about that are just curious the three pillars of intuition course in

particular will help you connect more and more with your powers of intuition

even if you are already fairly intuitive there's a methodology there which can

can be helpful sometimes because you know sometimes we get lost in what feels

like intuition and maybe is it ego or is it intuition account al kind of thing

okay let's go ahead and get started I hope everyone's been enjoying their

holiday season and are ready for 2019 ready or not it's going right

I'm excited for it okay so first card higher-power beautiful and what we can

expect we're looking forward to regardless is a new life look at that

new year new life I'll show you this card first so this is the card we're

gonna be looking at in terms of the ego and the heart a higher power card and

then what we can expect to look forward to regardless is a new life now I'll get

into this card more but it's not that you will necessarily have a brand new

life but that you are breathing new life into the life that you already have you

know there's many blessings there to be expanded upon but let's look at the

higher power card I don't know if you can see the imagery so soft in this deck

but I there is a beautiful what looks to be some kind of fairy

okay so I don't know if you can see it but there's an image here of looks like

a man or a person and then above them is what could be a fairy or an angel and

the angel has a key at the third eye so the ego so I talked about evening with

the three pillars of intuition class sometimes the methodology can be helpful

because we can start to second-guess our intuition is that my ego is that just my

secret desires my own unconscious desires or is it truly what I'm

intuitive and with a higher power in terms of the ego that thing that can

become an issue but even more importantly than that as I feel this for

the ego the ego doesn't want to give over to a higher power the ego wants to

see the evidence the ego wants to know that the ego has control again this

isn't because the ego is bad because this is what the ego has done for us in

terms of humanity in terms of our ability to use our mind right that's

logical powerful wheel of thought that occurs continuously throughout our lives

and so with the higher power the ecole say there's no point in having faith I

need to see the evidence or yet I have faith but show me show me something

first before before I give it over I know there's more ways I can work it you

know the ego is always overworking things thinking you know we think that

we when we lay awake at night and we're letting our mind cheran away out of

problem really you know just over and over again we tell ourselves that we are

safer that way you know the ego says no keep keep on

this treadmill of this thought pattern because that's where you'll come up with

a solution whereas in truth the solutions come from a pace the place of

peace not from overworking things so it may be that the ego you know says this

is ridiculous don't give up to a higher power just

keep on that treadmill keep on that treadmill but in truth as I feel it here

for you with the key and the number four you have to submit a little you have to

take a breath and allow the universe a higher power spirit your guys and angels

your intuition however you feel about it to come in you have to surrender a

little bit that is where the true solutions lie in that piece in that

surrender because when you are constantly working something the

solutions you come up with tend to be very tight very short-lived and what

you're wanting here you wanted something that's very stable right we have number

four something that's gonna have legs that can last the test of time and so

you have to give a little open allowance here you have to surrender you know to

the higher power whatever that means for you and the ego says no no no no no no

that's not how I create stability in my life

that's this Airy fairy stuff I need to see the evidence I need to keep working

this problem this is why I'm allowing my mind when I go for a walk I'm walking in

nature I'm on a hiker I'm laying awake and better I'm on the treadmill or

whatever this is why I allow my mind to just keep working this problem whereas

you know it's based on your own life experiences that that's not usually how

you come up with solutions solutions usually come when you are in a place

where you leave it for a while and suddenly it pops into your mind

sometimes the solution is fully formed sometimes it's just a hint of a solution

but that's usually where they were the true solutions arise from is from that

place of peace from that place of surrender so that's kind of interesting

how it's coming on here but remember you're never doing it alone you know so

many times especially around the holidays even if we are surrounded by

family or friends we can sometimes feel very alone and this is an illusion

you're always surrounded you're always connected to everyone it's just those

feelings of separations of separation arise from the egoic energy of black and

white thinking duality and that might feel like what are you talking about

it's not an illusion that's obvious we're not on the same page or I'm

actually physically alone but remember you are yes you're having this physical

experience but you are spiritual being first and foremost it's

beyond the physical there's a lot there but remember the key lies with a little

bit of surrender here as I'm feeling this for you and for me this higher

power giving it over allowing things to be that's where the stability will

increase it's creates instability the continual picking apart this continuous

self judgment that things aren't writing to fix myself I need to fix people need

to fix circumstances and this is where New Year's resolutions can come in that

we know in some ways we feel like oh you know it's a fun thing to do or this is

I'm really gonna change my life in 2019 by fixing these things about myself so

if you are someone who likes to have New Year's resolutions this is a little may

seem off-topic but it's all part of the same energy here rather than imagining a

scenario where you are different my life is going to change in 2019 I'm finally

going to go to the gym I'm gonna go to the gym three days a week or I'm finally

gonna leave that job or leave this relationship or or I'm just gonna turn

over a new leaf in some way there is the self judgment there that somehow you're

wrong or that you're not perfect just as you are and that you need to fix

yourself so watch where the ego comes in and you're new and where your New Year's

resolutions are based on this idea of fixing yourself as opposed to expanding

the desires you have for new things in your life there's a some subtle

differences there but they're powerful differences because one is filled with

self judgment that somehow you're you're not exactly where you're meant to be and

you need to fix yourself in order to get better and the other is more about

connecting to what you hold within you already the desires for a more peaceful

life more abundance in all areas deeper connection to others whatever it may be

you connect to where you have that within you already connecting to your

your deeper self connecting to your soul let's say or experiences where you have

already witnessed that either in yourself or in others remembering that

if you're witnessing in it in someone else you hold it within you already and

you can connect to that and then you can bring that out into your resolution or

your hopes and for the future I'm hoping to feel more

deeply connected to my family as opposed to I want to get away from my family

because they're all messed up right you don't have to necessarily spend time

with them in the new year but there's a difference there between trying to get

away out of fear that somehow you need to protect yourself from the evils of

your family or you can feel I want to feel more connected to family in general

and how does family what does family mean to me well family means people who

love and support me so therefore and I have that already maybe with my children

or with my friends or without one person with my animal and I want to expand that

out more in 2019 it's a difference you know you can feel it and that's what

will have legs you know that that's the key really to a more stable and

fulfilled experience in the moment but you know as we are approaching the end

of the year many of you are thinking long term you know many people like to

set long-term goals and so just watch where the goals are based on fear or

anxiety or self judgment that things are awful or you're not perfect just as you

are remind yourself that you're already a perfect being and that you hold

everything you want already within you then you can expand that out in a way

that feels more gentle to your heart and

that isn't filled with so much self judgment or fear and anxiety and what we

can expect to look forward to regardless is this beautiful new life you can see

she's stretching she's arising she's welcoming in a new dawn a new day a new

life right and this can be done as you've heard me say before in any given

moment when you are through your own awareness and consciousness of self your

own aware aware nough sub where your thoughts are and where you connect more

to the heart centered energies of openness expansion perfection if you

will right and so just being aware that your thoughts are coming in begins to

create a new life in terms of your awareness and consciousness of who you

truly are what you're truly desiring but of course you know for many of you it'll

be like 2019 youright is fun it's exciting to think about a home

year but you can begin that at any time so don't don't set yourself up for

disappointment in that way but here she is expanding and stretching and growing

in each and every moment and you can do that more and more consciously whenever

you witness yourself having a thought that is painful or there's a dissonance

there oh you feel separated one of the most common ways to recognize the egoic

energy is when you feel separated from others when you feel that they are

judging you or you are judging them you know there's always that separation

she's so stupid or he's whatever you know if you find yourself doing that

remember that there's parts of you know parts of that is allowing yourself to

hold judgment for your own actions for your own self that somehow your

experiences aren't right and that they are somehow wrong and you work somehow

right you know whatever you know you know that you don't know that you can

master it right away but just bringing awareness consciousness around it with

self-love as opposed to judgment of Safa go there I am gossiping again or

whatever maybe you can bring this self-conscious the the self-awareness of

I felt I can into that pattern for you know an hour the watercooler just

gossiping about you know so and so on you know in department whatever you know

or a family member it's it's all the same energy it's that separation and

that's one of the quickest ways that the ego can can keep us held in that

position of fear anxiety not enough lacking is that separation the feeling

of separation feeling that you're separate from others so whenever you

feel that you can always remind yourself I can breathe new life into this moment

by remembering that I'm actually connected to all things and I can I can

feel the desire to be close to someone because I hold that closest within

myself I've had that experience at some point in my life in some moment and that

you can connect to that and breathe more life into that as opposed to breathing

continuing to breathe out the energy and perpetuating the thought of I'm

separated from this person or they're separated from me and or this situation

or money you know separated from money it's just never here for me it's all

part of the same energy and you can begin to play with it more in kind of a

way that as at a distance so you don't feel so personally connected to it as

you create more awareness at the moment and you can breathe new life you know

right here it's not gonna happen automatically

it happens through your own consciousness and awareness and your

continued growth that you breathe new life into any moment or any situation or

in your relationship there's always room for for a softening it it does take

awareness and you can't always force it just be aware of it you know if you have

a distance with a family member you can begin to consider what would it be like

if we didn't hate each other so much well we didn't hate each other so much

maybe I would recognize that they're not all evil you know they're just a person

doing their best and they got triggered and maybe I could have done things

differently and you don't have to take action upon it but you can begin to

slowly but surely shift the energy or just be curious about it what would it

be like what do we like to have a relationship with this person not when

we're best friends necessarily but where we find common ground we can expand upon

that so there's not so much tension or jaggedness

that feels that distance you know something to consider and to be with a

little bit you don't necessarily have to think about I suppose you can just kind

of feel what it might think what's the experience that that might be like that

might feel better to the heart as opposed to thinking about it because

when we tend to think about these things sometimes we can go back into yeah but

they did this to me you know so rather than think about it think about our

experience it from kind of more of the heart centered energies of what would it

be like I feel like in my body H we have to see

that person and not feel that that tension or that rush of adrenaline this

kind of thing can show up in a lot of different ways it doesn't have to be

relationships can show up in terms of your job and all of this but there is a

potential here a beautiful beautiful energy of what we can expect regardless

is something new is arising this is the theme we've had it in the last two

readings we had something like a renewal I think and then something last time so

this is this is quite a trend and it has been a very long energetic period of

working through issues you know everyone's kind of has had quite a bit

of struggle and had to redefine their values and explore what they're truly

wanting you know in ways that were more intense I feels like in the in in 2018

let's say and there's an opportunity coming here in 2019 if we want to look

at long term and I know many of us like to do that there's a new trend arising

because we have all this new energy so a new trend of being more aware of what

you're desiring as opposed to focusing in on the lack which is always the egoic

spotlight 2019 will bring in much more of our preferences let's say for many of

us because of the deep shifts that were occurring in 2018 so it's a very

exciting time so I wish you much love and a very happy and safe new year and I

will see you I might do a couple more videos this week just kind of stay in

touch with everybody because I know it's been a very tense time for many people

and don't forget I do have the sale going on so if you'd like to take

advantage of it them it's it's up for a couple more days all right much love to

you all

ART TUTORIAL #3 - How To Paint A Self Portrait Painting / Painting Parody Tutorial ~ Marinksy - Duration: 1:43.

Good morning, day, evening and night. It's Sharon again, I am a voiceover from

America and today we will learn how to paint a self-portrait. Have you been

looking at famous self portrait paintings wondering how did they do it?

How did they manage to paint themselves? Have you tried to paint yourself by

looking at the mirror, but every time you look at it it's different, your head has

moved, expression changed, and now you have to start all over?

Have you tried to paint yourself by looking at the photo of yourself, but on

the photo you look different as you look right now, and you want to paint yourself

how you look now to save a moment in time?

Don't worry I will show you how you can paint your own portrait without the need

of a mirror or a photo. You will need: - a canvas and some paint

-a chair -a model - you. Let's get started. First, take

a painting position in front of the canvas.

Then, sit on a chair to pose for yourself. You could stand, but it's easier to sit.

Start painting. This way you are able to capture yourself in the present time and

have a REAL self-portrait. Don't smile, nobody smiles on self-portraits as it

would hurt your mouth to smile for a long time. Just sit still and paint

yourself, looking miserable, existence is pain.

Thanks for watching, more educational videos to come in the future.

Live long and prosper <3

Financial Self Care is a thing - Duration: 5:40.

Hello there!

Welcome back to my channel!

Today we are going to be talking about financial self-care.

Usually, when I speak about financial self-care I have people who are just shocked that financial,

or finances, or budgeting can be apart of self-care, but it can.

So I think this is a pretty important topic.

Financial self-care is actually pretty simple.

It's when you take a look at your finances and figure out how your money best fits into

your life.

But before we get started le's actually clarify that financial security, which is the peace

of mind that your income is going to cover all of your expenses and not having to worry

about that, that is a privilege that many do not have, especially in this economy.

However, regardless of your financial situation, you can benefit from practicing financial

self-care.

The first step to practicing financial self-care is documenting all of your expenses.

This can be things like rent, utility bills, phone bill, car note or bus fair depending

on your mode of transportation.

Basically, anything that you have to pay for in order to survive, is an expense.

Calculate food in there as well, even if you are getting some form of financial assistance

or government assistance, and that government assistance or financial assistance should

be counted as your income because it is apart of your income.

Once you have all your expenses totaled up, and you see that total, take a small break

if you need to.

Because I did, I needed to.

When I first did this I didn't realize just how much of my income went to like rent, gas,

and electric, I have a car note as well.

So I just needed to take a breather.

And just breathe for a second.

After you're done taking your break, write up your income.

Where is the money coming from and how much?

If it changes from month to month then make an estimate based off the previous months,

and what you got paid in the previous months.

Often times I like to take the lowest month and then estimate from there.

I don't like to start off with this really huge amount that I got one of the months.

You know, because it can be unrealistic.

So then you're going to take your income and subtract your expenses from that.

If you have nothing left over then you are living at your means, if you have some money

left over then you are living below your means, but if you have no money and you actually

have more expenses than coming in as income then you are living above your means.

For a long time, before I started budgeting, I was living above my means.

Because I didn't really have an understanding of where all my money was going to.

But once I actually started budgeting I learned that I had to cut back on certain things.

And it wasn't frivolous things, it was more or less like, my phone.

So what I ended up doing was I found out that my phone actually could be used on wifi, and

that there were apps that you could use to be able to make phone calls or text or whatever

it is that you need, through that app, through wifi.

So I canceled my phone service and only used wifi.

However, it may be hard for some people to know where to cut back in their life as far

as expenses.

I like to think, does this expense help me survive, or how can I get this thing at a

cheaper cost or free.

Financial self-care, like all other forms of self-care, is different for each person.

In later videos, we will discuss different types of budgeting,

and so maybe you'll find one that works best for you in those videos.

When I was in college budgeting for me was just putting coins in a jar whenever I could.

And what that ended up doing was that by the end of the year I ended up saving $20.

Considering that my rent was a paycheck and a half that was still good because I still

had to pay for my phone bill, I still had to pay for transportation for me to get to

and from places.

So it was pretty good that I saved the $20.

Do understand that even if you do the coin saving, there may be times where you save

that money and then have to use it the next month.

Because maybe you got less hours at work, or some emergency came up and you had to utilize

that money.

So do understand that even if you get to the end of the year and you don't have anything

in savings, know that there are life situations that happen and you just have to go with it.

It's kind of sad, it really is, but that is the nature of things.

Honestly, Financial self-care can be one of the harder versions of self-care to deal with.

So many people, including myself, still struggle when it comes to taking care of our finances.

Sometimes the smallest changes can add up and lead to the biggest impacts in our life

and our growth.

So that's it for this video.

Thank you for watching, I hope you learned something today.

Books To Read For Self Development in 2019 - Duration: 13:30.

hey what's going on it's Steph here from StephJKing.com coming to you from

beautiful Brisbane Australia and Happy New Year's today is officially the last

day of 2018 which is totally mind-blowing so I hope you have a

wonderful New Year's Eve and New Years Day whatever that means for you if you're

gonna go out and enjoy it with friends and family or if you're going to rug up

or not rug up in Australia that's for sure but like chill out relax it's a bit

of Netflix or something like that I hope you have a lovely lovely time recently

you would have noticed I've been doing a lot of videos around my how to prepare

for the new year and this video is nothing different I wanted to share with

you a list of books that you should read for self development in 2019 so I want

to give you a couple of the books that I've read throughout 2018 that I really

really loved and then I'm also going to share with you my list of books that I

have saved on my Google Drive and also show you which ones that I'm about to

start reading as well but first things first let's go through my favorite ones

from 2018 now I do have some physical books here but there were a couple that

I also read well listen to on audible so I will speak to those ones at the end as

well but the first one is earthers hiring by Peter Kelly actually did a

full book review on this one so I will leave that link above for you

I think it's that side and also linked below if you want to go check that out

but this one was a really like an easy read the author is Australian so I kind

of felt like I wanted to support that anyway and I follow her on social media

and I just love her vibe and I love her energy and the message that she shares

with the world didn't disappoint that special so it's it's kind of written in

a way towards Millennials so my sort of age bracket and just how the world is

changing like how things are happening now from a

business perspective that back in the day or you know just even recently

there's a lot of hustle and grinding and whatnot whereas this book kind of talks

about just going into your flow and listening to like your intuition and

where you think you need to be and how you need to do things and just really be

true to who you are so it talks about stepping into your own what you can do

from like a business point of view in this day and age talks about money and

mindset and actually wrote my own money story because of this book and yeah that

was really good it sort of brought up some negative thoughts or feelings that

I had towards money that I didn't even realize I had so yes that's the first

book next one was money master the game by Tony Robbins this one I was

absolutely obsessed with and it's not you know it's quite a thick book but

this one I was literally like any spare time I had I was reading this book and I

think it's because just during 2018 for me there was a focus on getting my

budgeting sorted getting my fan finances sorted making sure I had the right

accounts open making sure that I was putting money into an investing account

so I could invest that money for it to work for me so this book was just really

perfect timing for me and I just absolutely loved it he pretty much talks

about all the different ways that you can invest your money he talks to all

the massive people like Warren Buffett who else was in there are so many people

so if you are interested in learning more about what to do with your money

and how to manage it then this is a fantastic book it is written more so too

I guess the American side of things so they talk about the 401k but if you're

Ozzie or in a different country in Australia we have superannuation and

superannuation is pretty much the same as a 401k so you can kind of it does

reference other countries so definitely pick that up for a read and then another

one by Tony Robbins is awaken the giant within now this is a

book that I am currently reading I am literally within the first few

chapters so not very far along but I'm loving this book already I'm really

finding that I really like the way that Tony Robbins writes and how he does his

books so I'm probably gonna go out and get a lot more of his books because I

really enjoy his style and just the messaging that he does so he just seems

to do a lot of research when it comes to his books which I really really like but

this one awaken the giant within take immediate control of your mental

emotional physical and financial destiny it just makes you realize the reasons

why you do things and the reasons why you may not have motivation in a

particular area and it's all about the fact that just from what I've read so

far anyway is that as humans we always seek out pleasure vast pain so all our

decisions all our actions everything we do in life is based on us trying to

remove pain and seek out pleasure and that's not just sort of like physical

pain it could be a pain that you've connected to a certain things so for

example it might be that you're trying to lose weight and previously you have

been on really restrictive diets you didn't enjoy it so now you have a pain

associated with losing weight so you then self-sabotage it as much as you

feel like motivated at the beginning and you really want to lose that weight and

you don't understand why you don't have like the motivation or the willpower to

be able to do it it's because you pretty much have a negative connection to

losing weight because of all the previous diets and your feeling of being

restricted and just that negative emotion towards that particular

situation so he actually then goes through and shows you how you can turn

that around so the habits that you want to get rid of how you then can associate

pain to it so you don't want to go back to it and then the good habits or things

that you do want to put attention on to that you may not

been successful in in the past it's changing your thinking around it so that

you can connect a feeling of pleasure to that so when you think about it it's not

ah but you know it's always so hungry and I felt really restricted when I had

to lose weight and it's like that's just not worth it to me you've then got this

more positive connection to that situation which makes you actually want

to go do it and the last two books are actually on audible so the first one was

crushing it by Gary Vaynerchuk it's pretty much about running a successful

business online so utilizing social media and how you can do that he pretty

much goes out and interviews all these people that have had success on

different platforms and they share their stories of what they've done and how

they were able to do it and it was just a really inspiring book to understand

that you can pretty much make money from anything this day and age and it made me

feel really grateful for being in such a time where we do have YouTube Facebook

Twitter Instagram it's really given a lot of people this awesome opportunity

to be able to be super successful and he just really dives into that in that book

so that's a good one if you do want to start looking at how you can make some

money online and the other one is the values factor by dr. John Demartini I

love dr. John Demartini his teachings and messaging I just really am connected

to you and I absolutely love this was a really great book particularly if you

are struggling with trying to determine what is most important to you and what

your life purpose is this really helped me figure out and own what my life

purpose is and be absolutely okay with it so it is a great book highly

recommend that one I highly recommend anything by dr. John Demartini

now I read a bunch of other books as well but those are the ones that just

really connected with me throughout the year some books I started and just did

not feel a connection to them so I actually didn't even finish reading them

and that may not be you know anything against the book it could have just been

that I wasn't ready for that messaging because I've read books for a second

time and I felt like I've gotten a lot out of

them so I won't talk about those books but I will go on and I'm now going to

show you my book list that I keep on my Google Drive so let's go have a look at

that so this is my book list here that I keep on my Google Drive so I'm able to

access it wherever I need and I've got quite a bit here if we scroll down

you'll see that you know I've got the title the author and then the category

next to it and you can see that I'm very much into wisdom and spirituality that

seems to be the topic of the books that I enjoy reading at the moment and that's

not to say that I don't enjoy reading about business or money or anything like

that it just seems to be that I get a lot out of those types of books and

that's just something that's really interesting me at the moment so I want

to read more and more and more about those types of things now how I put this

list together is I just listen to what other people are recommending so people

that are inspirational to me or my mentors or just even people that are in

a very similar community to me so for example the other day I was coming to

the end of one book and so I put out a post in a mastermind community that I'm

a part of and I just said what is your favorite books because I know that group

of people are on a very similar journey to me and have very similar interests so

I looked at all the books that they recommended and then I chose the ones

that really connected to me so the ones that are highlighted in green here

they're the ones that I really want to read next

so again dr. John Demartini the breakthrough experience I've heard

amazing things about that book so I really want to get my hands on it I

haven't been able to find it yet but I will the next one that I really want to

do is you are a badass at making money so I've actually already got that one on

audible so that's pretty much good to go it's just a matter of freeing up some

time I don't really like having multiple books on the go because I like to give

my undivided attention to one book and really study what they're saying to do

and what their advice is in that book so I don't listen to one audible book

and then read a physical book I'm doing one or the other next one is the

untethered soul by Michael a singer that one came up recommended quite a bit

that's very much spirituality so that should be an interesting read next one

is unlimited power by Tony Robbins again I really enjoy his books so I think that

I will like this one as well and the other one is journey of souls by Michael

Newton again this is a spirituality book the reason why I have a couple of

spirituality books on here that I want to read really soon is because in 2019

one of my goals is I want to learn more about that topic because I really

haven't up until now and I've started to sort of learn a little bit more about it

and understand different people's beliefs and I want to learn more so I

can come up with my own I guess conclusion and my own decision on what I

believe in I just want to learn more about the soul and what happens to the

soul after we leave this physical plane so those first five books that I was

talking about earlier the ones that I've already read I highly recommend reading

those ones for self development if you haven't already done so and then sharing

my list is just giving you some more ideas on books that you may want to read

as well so I will leave a list of the next five books that I'm going to read

the ones that were highlighted in green and I'll leave those below in the

description box for you to go check those ones out if you like as well let

me know if you've read any of those books that I've recommended or if you

have a book that you absolutely love that you think based on what I've shared

today that I would enjoy leave me a comment boy and let me know what that

book is because I'm always adding new books to my list so don't be afraid to

leave me a comment and let me know again I hope you have a wonderful Happy New

Year's my next few videos are going to be very specific to how to write goals

for life mastery and also make sure that you are successful in achieving them so

if that is something that you're interested in do make sure you are

subscribed to my channel I will leave a link for you on this side

and until my next upload I'll leave a couple of other videos on this side for

you if you want to go check those out anyway take care and I will see you in

the new year bye

Higher-Self Transformation Meditation that will change your life forever... - Duration: 30:01.

It's about getting to a totally new paradigm, a totally new level, which is who you naturally

are.

So you're gonna be able to let go of your old self image and you're going to begin to

be that authentic part of who you naturally are.

So personally, I think this is going to be one of the most powerful meditations I've

done and I think that if you've listened to it for 21 days, it will transform your life.

So let's go ahead and get into it right now.

What I'd like to ask you to do is to take in a couple of deep breaths in and out with

me, and every breath we take, what we're going to be doing is we're going to be relaxing

our body and we're going to be putting our hands inside of our heart center.

Now, as we put our hands over our heart.

Even just doing that for a couple of minutes, we begin to bring the awareness from being

inside of our head to inside of our body.

And as the awareness goes into our heart, we start to grow that energy around our heart

center.

That's what the heartmath institute is shown.

And just by doing this alone, we begin to start becoming and being who we naturally

are.

So do this either laying down or meditating and sitting down, making sure that you aren't

driving when you do this.

And, uh, we'll go ahead and get into it right now.

So what I would like to ask you to do is to first off, taking a deep breath in, deep breath

out with me and feel your body relax more and more.

So it's going to take a deep breath in

every breath you take, know that your body's becoming more and more relaxed.

Now put your hands over your heart like this.

I began to feel the sensation inside of your heart knowing that as you put the sensation

in there right now, you're increasing that electromagnetic energy inside of your heart,

feeling more of that love that you naturally are.

Now go ahead and take another deep breath in.

Deep breath out.

As you breathe out, feel the sensation inside of your heart increase with more love.

Feel your body relax.

Begin to loosen up.

Now.

Set the intention right now that this meditation changes your life.

That's how powerful you are, that you can set this intention right now, and by the end

of this meditation, you will feel like a 100 percent better authentic version of you.

So let's take in one more deep breath in.

Deep breath out.

Fuel our body.

Relax Bri that out.

Sink into this level of relaxation right now.

Now bring the awareness to your forehead and fill your forehead.

Begin to relax.

Feel behind your eyelids.

Imagine the muscles behind your eyes relaxing.

As you bring this awareness throughout your body, you can feel your muscles loosening

up relaxing.

Bring it to your cheeks now.

Feel that sensation in your jaw.

Feel how loose your jaw feels.

Relax your tongue muscle.

Bring the awareness now into your throat's.

Feel your throat.

Begin to relax now.

Bring the awareness into your left arm, your left hand.

Feel it, loosen up and relax.

Breathe that sensation to your right arm, your right hand.

Feel it.

Relax.

I bring the awareness into your chest, underneath your hands, over your hearts, but the awareness

inside of your heart center right now and imagine that there is a ball of energy inside

of your hearts.

Any color that you like and imagine that right now, this ball of energy is spinning in a

clockwise position.

I'm going to count down from five to one with every number I count.

You're going to feel your body relax more and you're going to feel the increase of love,

energy inside of your heart.

You're going to feel that sensation increase.

Put your hands over your heart.

Now fuel it.

Five.

Imagine that ball of energy, any color that you like, spinning faster and faster, and

the faster it spins, the more you feel this love energy inside of your heart for feeling

it now begin to increase.

You can feel this love.

Begin to this warm feeling.

Begin to spread throughout your body for three, feeling it now become more and more, more

and more love to as you feel it now.

Imagine it increasing even more and one now.

You feel it spread through your entire body, knowing that you feel more love now than you

have in a long time.

Know that this sensation is more connected to who you really are.

Now bringing the awareness from your heart into your solar plexus, right below that of

your heart and feel that area of your body.

Relax.

Bring the awareness now down into your abdomen.

Fill your abdomen, loosen up, relax.

Bring the awareness into your left leg, your left foot, Phillip, loose.

Relax, becoming heavy.

Bring the awareness into your right leg, your right foot.

Feel heavy, your foot in your legs.

Feel how relaxed you feel.

Now, imagine any old energy, any old emotions that you don't prefer to feel.

Imagine them flowing out of your body by going out of your heels.

Imagine that energy, that dark energy going out of your heels.

As you put the sensation into your heels, you can feel that energy begin to decrease

out of your body knowing

that right now you are letting go of what no longer serves.

I noticed how light you feel now, how much more relaxed you feel, and now imagine yourself

in a very relaxing place.

It can be indoors or outdoors.

It's a place you can go anytime you want to do inner work.

It can be a real place or a place in your mind.

Imagine that you were there right now.

Look around and notice what you see.

What colors do you see?

Imagine those colors becoming brighter and brighter.

What kind of sounds do you hear?

Imagine those sounds becoming louder and louder.

Notice how relaxed you feel in this place.

How you can come here.

Anytime you want to quiet your mind to relax.

I notice that about 10 or 15 feet away, you see this doorway, this free standing door

in the middle of the place that you're at.

Now, go ahead and walk up to this door and notice that at the top of the door it says

your name, higher self.

This is the doorway into your heart and to the sacred space of your heart and to this

connection with your higher self where you can get any guidance you want, any question

you want will be answered, and you will feel the authentic core vibration of who you are.

Now go ahead and put your hand on the Doorknob, twist the doorknob open up the door, and noticed

that you see a stairwell that is going down at the bottom of the stairs.

You can see a very bright high vibrational light.

Now begin to take a step down.

Notice with every step you take, you feel more and more relaxed.

You feel this increase of vibration happening inside your body.

You feel this love energy that is increasing with every step that you take.

Take another step.

Now.

Feel this increase of energy as you get closer and closer to your higher self, inside of

your heart, you feel this energy begin to dissipate.

Things that no longer serve you.

Begin to feel yourself.

Let go of vibrations that aren't serving you anymore.

Take another step.

Now you are 10 steps away from being at the bottom of the stairwell and from being in

the presence of your high vibrational higher self.

I'm going to count down from 10 to one with every number I count.

You're going to feel the energy inside of your body.

Increase with love unlike anything you've ever felt before,

and you're going to feel this connection to who you really are.

Now, take it another step.

Ten, feeling your body now begin to double with the sensation of love.

Nine.

Feeling this energy inside of your heart.

Begin to increase.

Eight, feeling more love flow through your body than ever before.

Take another step now.

Seven, getting closer to the bottom of the stairs, feeling this light begin to increase

inside of your body.

Six, five, double the amount of sensation in your love now.

Now you really feel it flowing through you for three, getting closer to the bottom of

the stairs.

Now you're almost there to double the amount of sensation your body double the amount of

sensation in your heart.

One, now you are at the foot of the stairs.

Take one more step and there you are.

It is so bright you can hardly see and you feel this sensation flow through your body

unlike anything you've experienced before.

Allow the sensation to be there so in this vibration, if any emotions come up right now,

allow them to come up and know that it is a process of letting go and allowing yourself

to be in this high vibrational state.

This is who you really are.

I notice that as your vision begins to become clear, as you get used to this bright light

and this love sensation, notice that in the distance you can see your higher, which is

you.

Your higher self looks like you just brighter, very strong glimmer in the eyes, the most

Compassionate Look of love in the eyes.

Take a couple steps towards your higher self as your higher self.

Take steps towards you.

Your higher self tells you right now.

Welcome home now.

Any question that you have for your higher self, your higher self will answer for you.

Ask your higher self any questions you might have, any guidance you might ask for, and

pay attention to what your higher self says.

Ask those questions now.

Now Bank yourself your higher self for any information you've just been received.

Ask your higher self if there's any advice at your higher self has for you and pay attention

to what comes up now.

Bank yourself, your higher self or any information that you've just received.

Now what your higher self now tells you is that you are going to shed the old self image.

Your higher self now walks you over to a chair, a chair with dials on it.

This is a chair.

You can come anytime you want inside this sacred space of your which is where you are

now, and what you can do is you can let go of what no longer serves and why you're in

a higher vibrational energy

and your higher self offers for you to sit down and notice that as you sit down, notice

how comfortable this chair feels that just how it looks serious.

This chair fields.

Now on the left side of this chair, on the armrest you see that have a dial, and on the

right side you see another dial.

Now what we're going to do is we're going to let go of the old self image and this right

here, this exercise right here will change your life forever because you will let go

of what no longer serves.

You will let go of the negativity of the emotions that no longer serve you, and you're going

to feel them drift off.

Notice that on the left, it's labeled your old self image, and right now it is on a 10.

Well, we're going to do now is we're going to let go of our old self image.

Set the intention right now that you let it go, that it is served you.

You're at peace with it, but it is time to let it go.

I put your hand on the dial.

I'm going to count down from 10 to one with every number I count.

You're going to feel an increase.

Have an energy in your body of letting go.

You're gonna.

Feel like this old cell phone is drifts away.

This false self of limitations drifts away and it begins to dissipate.

It's going to be hard to remember the limited self as before.

Put your hand on the dial at 10

and move it from 10 to nine.

As it moves from nine, you can see this self image in front of you, the limited self.

Look how it starts to fade away.

Eight, with every number that I count you feel this old self image begin to dissipate.

The negative memories leaving with it.

Seven, looking at that self image is becoming more and more faint now.

Six, five, feeling yourself.

Let go.

Of what?

No longer serves four, three, double the amount of sensation, your heart feeling like it is

dissipating the old self.

Image two and now you can barely see your old self image and one zero.

Now notice that the old self image that you could imagine is dissipated.

You have let go of your old self image and from this point going forward, your life is

forever changed.

You are letting go of the false self.

I feel how relieved it feels to let of those lower emotions.

Now put your hand on the right side of the dial or the dial is labeled your authentic

higher self.

Now notice that right now it's on level one, but I'm going to do is I'm going to count

from one to 10 with every number I count.

You're going to move the dial all the way up to 10.

By the time it reaches 10, you're going to feel like you have 100 percent merged with

your higher self.

You're going to feel love inside of your body unlike anything you've felt before, and you're

going to know that from this point going forward, you are trans formed.

Put your hand on the dial now and feel it.

Every number I count, you're going to feel double the amount of sensation in your body.

One, move it to to double the amount of sensation.

Now you can feel it inside of your body, inside of your heart.

Begin to increase.

Three, fueling it become more and more and more and more love for five fuel in this authenticity

flow through your body.

Six, feeling the energy increased even more.

Now, feeling this connection inside of yourself unlike anything you've felt before.

Seven, eight.

Feel it now.

Double again.

Nine, allow this light to flow through your body.

Now.

Allow this authenticity to merge with you and 10, this sensation

is completely flowing through your body and you are more in the love vibration than you

have ever felt before.

Allow yourself to feel in this energy.

Know that

this is who you are.

From this point going forward, you are forever changed.

He will notice that people respond to you differently now that you're more authentic.

You feel like the layers have been dropped.

He felt like you can just be yourself and you

feel like you're really living from your heart.

Pay attention over the next few days of how different your life becomes.

Allow yourself to sink into your heart more and every time you

put your hands over your heart, you will remember this sensation that you feel right now.

Listen to this meditation for at least 21 days to get

the maximum benefit out of it, and for now, I'm

going

to leave you in this higher self vibration.

Allow yourself to soak it in and just know that you are forever changed.

✅ Self Care Hacks For Guys in 2019 - New Years Resolution Ideas - Duration: 10:46.

(trumpets playing)

- Hey guys and welcome back to the channel.

My name's Thomas if you're brand new

and I make style and hair related videos

every single week here on YouTube.

So if that's your kind of thing make sure you hit

the subscribe button and come back

and visit me every single Monday.

Oh my God,

it is the last Monday of the year.

Literally about to kiss 2018 goodbye.

It's the 31st where this video

is coming out right now.

If you're on the Northern Hemisphere

it'll probably be the 30th.

And I didn't have any plans to do any videos

or promoting about Christmas or the holidays

or New Year 'cause I just kind of go,

well, we're about hair

and why is it important to do this?

But I actually think it's really important

especially New Year because it's that time

for us to think about where we are in our life,

what we're doing and what the next plan or goal is?

It's come to my attention that self-care

is definitely the next milestone for me

to hit and that's what 2019s gonna be all about,

taking better care of myself.

So if you guys feel the same

and you feel really busy and you just don't

have enough time for yourself,

this video's probably gonna be really good

for you and I hope you get some great ideas

for what you can implement in your 2019,

if you're looking at upgrading

your self-care as well.

Okay, so without further adieu,

let's move into it and we'll get

on to the first resolution.

And by the way, with all these things as well,

they're not just things I'm saying,

oh, I'm gonna do this and I'm gonna do this.

I've actually developed a reason as to why I need

to do it and how I'm gonna get there.

Because that is key with any type of planning

or any type of goal achieving,

you know what I mean?

There's gotta be a tangible way for you

to get there and I'm gonna be explaining all

of that in this video.

So sit back,

enjoy the last video of the year,

which is so exciting.

And yeah, I hope you get some good ideas.

All righty and moving on to resolution number one.

In the self-care department,

because it is my main focus for 2019,

I really thought I could be taking better care of my skin.

Now, I'll be real with you,

I haven't ever been like a skincare guru.

Sure, I've done tutorials and routines

about how I clean my skin with a general face wash,

a spin brush, da da da da da.

But I've never actually taken a really deep dive

into skin care.

And the reason is is because I've never

had super oily skin.

I've never had super pimply skin.

I've never had acne so I've never really needed

to pay that much attention to it.

But get this,

at the beginning of 2018 there was not one line

on my face, right.

I can safely say that

and after the whole year of 2018,

of all that self-development and YouTube work,

like endless nights,

I've actually started to notice very,

very, very faint depreciation lines coming

in on my forehead and around in my crows feet.

And on top of that from all my sleepless nights

I do constantly suffer from dark circles.

So when I kind of reviewed how I could

take better care of myself,

skin care was definitely at the top of there.

And now don't get me wrong either,

aesthetics aren't like everything in life

but my aesthetic appearance really

has a direct impact on how I feel on the inside.

And then how I feel on the inside

has a direct impact on how I interact

with other people in my life.

So it is a very,

very important thing for me to look at.

And because skin care's come

to my attention I kind of went,

well, if I'm not the guru

what the hell am I gonna do?

So I have put my feelers out on the market

and in this video I've actually teamed up

with Tiege Hanley because they've got

an excellent skin care range

that when I saw it I was like,

I need this.

I need this in my life right now.

You may or may not have heard of Tiege Hanley before.

Tiege Hanley is a brand that's been created

by Aaron Marino.

He's like the King Kong of men's style on YouTube.

He's very, very good.

I've been following him for I think ever since

I started my channel.

I was like, this guy's cool.

I like him. But no, Tiege Hanley have brought

out their own skin care range for men.

Their tagline is Uncomplicated Skin Care for Men.

Now, when I saw that and being like the very

low maintenance groomer that I am,

I was like that definitely sounds

like something I need.

It caught my attention.

There's three different levels, right.

Level one gives you all your basic skin care needs.

Level two gives you all the basics

plus a bit more.

And then level three gives you like

the real McCoy,

King Kong package, right.

You get everything that you need

for anti-aging, firming,

cleansing, everything.

Now, the thing I found super appealing

about Tiege Hanley was there's no guess work for it.

So for someone like me whose not a skin care guru,

I get all these products in and I go,

what do I do with it?

They take all the guess work out for you.

They've got like a little pamphlet.

I've stuck it on my mirror actually.

And it tells you all the different steps to use

and when to use them,

how much to use.

So you're kind of guided through the whole process.

I've never seen any type of men's skin care like this,

which is why I was like, wow, I've gotta try it out.

Because it's like a framework

that I can just implement into my normal schedule,

if you know what I mean?

So I'm trying the level three range at the moment.

So the level three range has an eye serum.

It has a firming serum or super serum they call it.

They've got an AM moisturiser with SPF

so you have sun protection.

They also have a PM moisturiser,

which is very nice and light.

I like it.

They also have a light face was

and a exfoliating scrub,

which I think the exfoliating scrub

is my favourite part of it all.

It gives you this really nice cooling sensation

on your face and I look forward

to scrubbing my face twice a week.

It's so good I wish I could do it every day.

Overall, I'm just really happy with the instructions.

The products have been great so far

and the subscription packages,

they're very reasonable too.

I think for everything that you get in it

and the amount of effort that a skin care brand

has put in here specifically for men,

I've never seen an eye serum for men

or a firming serum.

It seems to all be targeted to women these days.

But men kind of need this as well.

So I think it's definitely a great brand

to get behind and I've been using it

for about a week and a half,

two weeks now and I am loving it.

Also, if you have heard of Tiege Hanley as well

and you wanna jump in and give them a test out,

they have given me a special code which is this,

which you can use on their website

which is linked in the description box below.

And that'll get you 20% off your first box.

So if you have been looking to try it out,

or if you're someone like me as well

that's not super certain about your skin care

and you'd like somebody to just hand you the routine,

then it's definitely something good to try.

And while you can get 20% off,

I would hit it up, okay.

But yeah, that's my skin care plan.

I've already put it in action

and I'm ready to go.

I'm actually really enjoying it

and I'm looking forward

to having great skin in 2019.

It's already looking fab,

look at it.

Did you think I was wearing make-up today?

'Cause I'm not.

Link's in the description, enjoy.

Okay, and moving onto resolution number two.

So resolution number two actually

just revolves around nutrition.

Now, you guys know I've been doing

my workout routines a lot more lately.

My body's starting to change shape.

I'm in shape.

I'm looking really good, however,

my nutrition I will be honest,

hasn't been the best.

I eat very plainly on a regular basis

but I always find myself not eating enough

and pretty much lacking in energy a lot

of the time.

Now, the reason I'm lacking in energy

is because I'm either not putting

in the right nutrients or I'm not eating enough food.

And it always comes down to my excuse

that I put in there is not enough time,

which I don't really think's viable excuse anymore.

When I think about it, I'm like no,

I need to be putting more in.

And the sad thing is when I do feel

a little bit rundown or like no energy

I kind of will just rely on a Red Bull or something

not lift me up.

And I've kind of gotta get out of that habit I think

because although I've got this nice frame and stuff

and my body's starting to look really nice,

if I'm not putting the right nutrients into it

I'm actually creating something

that isn't even sustainable.

So I've really hit that mark

where I'm starting to wear out,

I'm starting to get a little bit more tired,

I'm not taking enough care with this

and I think it's really time

to focus more on that which I can do.

With my fitness stuff as well,

that's all been stuff that I've done

at home on my own and the way I started doing that,

leading into my action plan,

was use YouTube videos to figure out

how to work out,

what movements do what and then literally going

and testing it in the gym.

So when it comes to implementing new nutrition,

I don't think it's gonna be an extra hard thing

for me to implement.

I can just go and look for more useful YouTubers.

YouTubers actually work.

But yeah, no,

I think nutrition's definitely something

that I have to be incorporating from now on.

There's nothing worse than having lack of energy

and then feeling really resentful about everything

that you're doing all because you didn't have

enough energy and you're tired.

It's more about putting in the right things

to get the right results.

So that's definitely on my hit list as well.

And if you guys are after any nutrition tips,

when I get them,

let me know.

Fitness will be coming in 2019 as well.

I'm finally getting to the point

where I'm like, all right,

I can definitely do some videos about this now.

I've worked out how to do my flat tummy

and I'm very, very excited to share it with you.

But that is gonna be a 2019 thing.

Now it's time to move onto resolution number three.

So resolution number three

is a very simple one as well and actionable.

So it's to do with my hair.

So obviously I do a lot of YouTube videos about hair.

But these days I only really take care of my hair

when I'm on camera.

Every other time I'm kind of like,

I just let it go like a rat's nest.

And when I think about it,

when I started my channel I didn't really set out

to be a hair guru or thing but after getting

into the whole niche and everything,

I really took pride in it

and I would do my hair all the time.

I'd always be playing with it,

doing different things.

And slowly as my workload's gotten bigger

and I'd put my attention on more things,

my hair, doing my hair daily,

it's kind of fallen by the wayside.

And again, it's another one of those aesthetic things

that when my hair looks great then I feel great,

you know what I mean?

And I've just kind of let it go 'cause I've gone,

there's too much other things important.

But I've forgotten that it's really important to me.

So I'd like to be playing with my hair a lot more.

It's something as simple as putting half an hour

of my morning towards doing it

and making myself feel that little bit extra

rather than just letting it go like a big old bush

and not give to F words about it,

you know what I mean?

But yeah, it's like one thing that went

in the back of my mind and I was like, Tom,

your hair doesn't look as great as it used to.

It's still healthy and everything.

I still use all my healthy hair products

and keep it in really good condition

which is what I love teaching you guys about as well.

It's just the effort that I put into it.

I'm just not making the effort for myself

at this point in time

and that is definitely something I'd like

to bring to the table and do more of in 2019.

That's pretty much my three New Year's resolutions.

So I'm just upping the ante on my skin care,

upping the ante on my nutrition

and also taking a little bit more pride in my hair.

Doing all of those things when no one's looking

means that I'm doing them for the right reasons

and I'm doing them for myself.

I hope that this video was able

to maybe give you some good ideas

of what you could implement in 2019.

I really hope you guys have a great New Year.

I'm looking forward to mine,

I'm gonna be going to a house party tonight

and having some fun.

Probably having a few Jacks,

something cool like that.

Whoever you're spending it with,

I hope you have fun and I will see you next year,

which is tomorrow, next Monday.

Have a good one guys and I'll talk to you later.

Goodbye.

Help Your Parents Navigate Dementia | Q&A: Self Care & Mindful Loving Touch - Duration: 10:09.

hi everyone I am back my name is Laura Smothers - Chu and wanted to say happy last

week of December we are almost through the holidays and I wanted to bring you

the last video in the self care series so if you have not seen my past videos

one of my fellow daughters or other daughters like me she asked me what is a

cheap not time-consuming way to provide self-care for herself and so in this

series of a bunch of how many videos I've done maybe five this is my last one

and it's really about the power of touch so in these past videos I've talked

about being more mindful when you're running outside and interacting with

nature when you're reminiscing about the holidays in the past and how that can

change your mindset for the good and basically it's really important that you

are also getting that universal language of touch and not only does that help you

but it also helps your caregiving parent and your parent with dementia so I was

actually going to talk about a different mindful topic today but I remembered my

visit with my parents a couple of days ago and the touch was just so important

let me just back up a little bit so I have a social enterprise called

befriended heart and it is for other daughters who have a parent with

dementia and are also supporting the caregiving parent in caring for the

person with dementia so basically I live long distance from my parents my mom

takes care of my dad on a daily basis but of course I provide the other

support since I am an only child so that being said my dad when he was first

diagnosed about five years ago the first thing to go were his language

skills and so that's called aphasia so he was not able to think of the words he

wanted to say and he wasn't able to get those out so very early on in my dad's

diagnosis I you know I guess realize the power of touch and how that is a

universal language it is really the basic thing that we all do with each

other to communicate and have that personal connection and you know I

personally believe as I said in a couple of other videos that you know I really

believe that the person with dementia is still in there and really what's the

best way to communicate with them you know other than words but with touch

because that really is a universal love language and I will put a link up here

to the love languages that I talked about five love languages if your

caregiving parent doesn't want help because I think that this definitely

connects to that but I wanted to talk about some of the ways that I was able

to provide loving touch to my dad with dementia and also my caregiving mom you

know during the holidays this year so as I mentioned also another previous video

if you haven't seen this was the last Christmas that my parents are going to

be together in the same house before they both moved closer to me so my dad

is going to a great memory care facility and my mom is going to go to a newly

built independent living apartment so as I'm excited about that there is also

some sorrow there there's some anxiety what my dad does not know yet exactly

what the plans are my mom and I of course are very very informed and so

what my mom and I were trying to do was to try to have the best Christmas that

we could you know realizing the circumstances

that we were going to be my parents are gonna be moving next year so anyway I

would say that probably all of these different ways of physical touch are

applicable to both the parent with dementia and your care getting a parent

but I will say with my caregiving parent probably the best thing I did this year

to manage my mom stress and my own stress was to hire a home caregiver

basically someone that is paid by the family who comes in provides

companionship I know our caregiver cooks for my parents and my mom actually

increased that to five days a week and she said that it's been so helpful and

it really has increased their their quality of life so I did actually do an

interview with my friend Dr. Natali who is from Dementia Careblazers she also

has a very well-known YouTube channel within the dementia industry and I did

talk all about what the steps were that I took to hire a home caregiver and

really you know create all the stops to prevent any funny business from

happening I do actually have a personal story with that so I will actually also

link that here too I hope that you check out that interview and when you check

out that video you'll also get free access to my ten step to home care guide

so I hope you enjoy that and so for the yeah touch options basically I noticed

that my dad has started to do these behaviors where he is you know

scratching his arm a lot scratching his head and from my research

I found that that sometimes comes from boredom so knowing what I did about the

physical touch I started to hold his hand in the car

I saw that it would stop the bit the behavior you know the itching behavior

and it would also you know he started to warm up my hands a couple of days ago

which really made me feel good and as we know this video is also about self care

for us and so the physical touch helps us as well so I was holding his hand

also I know um you know my dad is watching more TV lately than he used to

and so because I can't necessarily engage with him using words you know I

put my head on his shoulder and I could tell that he really enjoyed that he

smiled you know and so while he is more verbal at this time as we know dementia

is not necessarily consistent and so just getting that reaction from him I

could tell that he enjoyed this physical touch

also hugs are huge so um you know hugs actually if there I believe a study has

shown that if it's 20 seconds or longer it really creates oxytocin it creates

dopamine both of those are happy chemicals and it actually decreases

cortisol so as you can imagine someone with dementia is likely pretty stressed

out a lot of the time because especially in my dad's case you know he can't

express himself the way that he used to so

the hugs you know lasting more than 20 seconds you can do that with you're a

parent with dementia and you can also do it with the caregiving parent so I've

been focusing on that as well and not only does it increase oxytocin for the

person that you're hugging oxytocin dopamine and lowers cortisol for the

person that you're hugging but it also does that for you too so I highly

recommend that I know that some of you have parents that you know have dementia

that causes your appearance to lash out or or hit you and of course your you

know you can try to put your hand on their shoulder may be a very you know

less I guess in vase way of providing your a loving touch but

you could also just wait until after they're not agitated anymore and you

know provide that touch on their shoulder or a hug also holding hands as

I mentioned is really helpful too so I think that is about it I hope you find

this helpful let me know what type of physical touch your parent prefers

whether it's the primary caregiver or the parent with dementia and I would

love to see that in the comments below finally I wanted to tell you about a

interview that I'm actually holding next month with my friend and guest expert

Julie went she is a nutritionist and she is specializing right now in delaying

dementia or basically increasing cognitive reserve in our brains so that

we as daughters of a parent with dementia will be less likely to get

dementia so I hope that you will join me next month and if you subscribe now you

will be the first one to see that video so I hope that you have a great New

Year's Eve and I look forward to providing you some interviews next year

thanks so much bye
