Hi
Don't let stress ruin your life, and if you notice that you have it ask for help. I lived completely burned out for some years and it's pure hell, at the point that i can't stand straight, i was dizzy all the time because my neck was rigid as a rock, and i was working like a complete robot because my brain was fried. Also i have no friends, my family is really little and broken.
is it normal to not get any attention either?
amogus?
Bad posture,
I immediately made my back straight.
Thank you
Me: relates to all of these
Also me: well, time to do absolutely nothing about it
Food For Thought: A change in bad habits leads to a change in life.
But how to release anger without hurting anyone?
Why your voice give me nostalgia 👾
I suffer from negative thoughts and low self esteem and Idk how to get out
super soothing voice
"…Are you slouching right now? Straighten up!"
1:38 AMOONGUS?!?!?!?!?!?!
I relate to every single one. Please help me. I cried a bunch in this video because not only do I relate to every one, I want help. I do every one of these. (is this called taking it personally?) Just please help.
When I feel Heartbroken I go from sadness to being angry at myself because I don’t like to talk about it sometimes
Be yourself always. Go for your goals and dreams. To become the best vision of yourself and to be happy. What you can achieve.
I relate to #6
Now I don't know if I'm just lazy or what, but having a good posture doesn't feel second nature nor worth it. I feel as though it's a bit uncomfortable, too. I sit and stand the way I do for maximum comfort, and stand up straight not only prevents me from thinking as per usual (I'd have to keep it in my mind constantly or else I'd relax and lower my shoulders again) but makes my shoulders feel a bit off (?). It's not a good feeling to know that a comfortable position is really a bad thing, but I also have 0 motivation to fix it.
Many thanks for these tips. But why say "don't forget to subscribe" instead of the more positive "remember to subscribe". I read in a psychology journal that the brain has no idea what negative forms mean and focus on the verbs so we should avoid using the negative and choose verbs of the action we want to accomplish which makes perfect sense to me 🙂
I relate to 5 out of ten of these symptoms
this is all about me and I hate myself for it. I promise to improve and avoid all of this:))✨ thank youu!!
i didn't think that there's a channel at youtube like this at least once, thank you very much i hope i can beat my own negative shts.
I know what my weekend plans are!
This video helps a lot, thank you so much! Ive been in a bad self cycle these past few weeks and this really addressed my worries
Help🙂
You know you're highly stressed when little things make you cuss – but some things have to be dealt with, whether you want to or not
This kind of title is pretty so frustrating…….Yes, I do a few different things on this list, so what does that mean for me? That I’ve destroyed my chances at contentment? That I’m “devastating my chances at emotional well-being?” well, great, good to know, those are some pretty descriptive and damning words. What am I supposed to do with this information? Any suggestions? Just…. Not do those things? Or is the damage already done?
1. Suppressing emotions – Yes
2. Stress piling up – All the time, so much pressure
3. Negative thoughts – Every day, I’m always so hard on myself
4. Too much social media – Can relate
5. Not being true to yourself – No
6. Bad posture – Yes
Oh my, I have almost all of these
best female narrator voice ever.

Wow. She acts like she has none of these problems and then at the end she said she has these problems🎉
every single one i related too today.
I have bad posture😢😢😢, stressed, and a lot of suppressed emotions, and negative thoughts😢
Negative thoughts and bad posture, are the main for me. Social media triggers procrastination. Normally if I do not Suppress my emotions, could lead me to bad moments so I'm learning to flow with them.
