Video

Fantastic video. I hope more people stumble across it like I have. All the therapy and most of the medications just made me suffer worse but re starting a skill my Nana first taught me as a child, the skill or art of crochet was the start for me. Crochet has assisted me more than I would have ever dreamed possible. I have alot of trauma in my past, childhood trauma, chronic illness, Major depression, Anxiety, ME/CFS and PTSD. I too was a Paramedic but after 3.5 decades of looking after others it's time to look after me. And crochet and living rural on property with my dogs is truly helping me. Thank you so much for sharing your powerful story. Much love 💗💗💗

I have got few ideas for your videos and I would love to share them with you .

Yes, coming back from time off can be more stressful than before I left.

My mom and sister are going to the Caribbean in a couple weeks. They usually go in the winter but the only opening was in the summer, so hurricanes will be something to worry about. I never go with them, but maybe next year, my mom and I want to go to Washington DC.

Thankful I stopped to participate in this today. Thank you for dedicating focus on desk stretches

Good video! It should help with some back pain I have.

Something odd happened during the upload and the sound is very low on the middle of this video. I'll try uploading again tomorrow for anyone who wants to hear the middle portion.

I'm a squat with my arms resting on my knees/thighs kind of guy. 😂

Good visualizations. I felt like I was taking an early spring walk.

I needed this. I'm still stuck in old patterns that manifest as being extremely anxious when in high volume public areas like stores or sporting events.

I hope to find my passion and somehow turn it into a career.

Thanks for sharing

Appreciate your stretches.

I will admit that I was severely bullied all through school, and for a time, I was like Doc Hudson in the first Cars movie: a bitter, loathing man who alienated people I had known and wanted nothing to do with them. Not to mention that I had a very short, almost volatile temper. Which did land me in trouble with the assistant principal a few times. I've really mellowed out now that I'm almost 37.

Good video for a "wing-it."

I appreciate you. This is just what I needed today.

It's me. I hate the bird poses.

Great stretch.

Thank you for the video. I made a set with beads I had at home. They are now on my meditation table, which I recently set up. Thank you for the explanation and the inspiration.

Just joined along with you and going to do this a couple more times with the focused breathing. Feels wonderful when at a desk all day, most especially.

Good video! I needed that.

I use a daily planner as well. Makes a huge difference.

I like the idea of using a mantra to bring you back to focus on your breathing. I haven't done that - and I think it will be quite useful.

Good video! And much needed. We all need to take a beat.

Not exactly a "ten second tidy", but very helpful!

I so needed this today!!! Thank you!!! ❤

Can you tell me the name of the beads and their purpose? I’ve not come across those before. Or, if you have a previous vid about them, let me know. Thank you.

I appreciate the video. But not a fan of any of the bird poses. 😂

Very good check-in.

Very helpful tools to get through stressful times.

I always fail at my New Years resolutions. Especially when it comes to quitting smoking.

So happy to have found you April. Love your calming voice. Now to binge watch a few videos ,after these next few crazy days.

Been a while since I commented, but I'm still using your techniques as you introduce them to me.

Thank you as always. I will try this.

Absolutely. I am always so tense that I often have muscle aches and tensions in my neck and shoulders.

"Inhale, count to four. Exhale, count to four. That's all there is to it" -BJ to a panicking soldier early in the videogame Wolfenstein: The New Order. But in all seriousness, I've tried that, and it does work. Especially given my sometimes crippling social anxiety.

I work in a very high stress environment. Due in large part to my overbearing boss of a woman. She constantly piles workloads on me, and doesn't respect my personal time. She always texts, calls, and emails me at home, with the strict expectation that I reply immediately. I can't turn my phone off.
