I'm a 27yo brazilian girl and a little lost in life, it's not even spring here in Brazil, it's autumn, but I love your videos and they've really helped me see life in a different way that's more like what I really want for me... I feel exhausted trying to live a life in which my value is based exclusively on the job I have and hate, my looks or the things I can buy (but don't need) while the things that really matter to me seems to have no importance or value at all, or even worse, are seen as a "waste of time" such as journaling or working with something more artistic, for example. I don't usually comment on anything, but maybe it's good for you to know that you've been reaching people all over the world. Thank you so much for sharing so much knowledge and wisdom!!
To me, it sounds like you are not so lost because you know what is important to you. When you live your life according to someone else's values, you will feel very depleted. So don't let others dictate to you what is a waste of time!
@@ShesUnreal Thank you so much!
That's the change I hope to achieve, unfortunately sometimes we end up doing what is expected of us and not what makes us truly happy because that's all we were told to do our entire lifes, but I've reached my limit and Ana's videos are very inspiring to me.
Thank you again for your kind words and advice!
It's difficult to stop allowing our jobs and our looks to dictate who we're supposed to be. But as someone 40 years your senior, I can assure you that looks and jobs change. YOU will evolve. There's a big difference, and I think you're on the right path.
Dear Rafaela, I'm so glad to know you through this comment! Thank you for letting me see you ❤️ I can feel every word you've put and I resonate with it. You know your own values and no one can take it away from you. Life changes constantly, you have a lot of time to figure things out. Listen to yourself and don.t be afraid to act. I wish I was as thoughtful as you when I was 27 😅 Sending much love and support your way. You be you 🌷
@@anagoldberg Thank you so much for your kind words and peaceful videos, Ana!
Keep producing such valuable and soulful content, you are inspiring many people around the world and also congratulations on creating this beautiful community of kind and generous individuals like yourself! ❤
Ana- I have a lot of anxiety, too. I love your idea for dealing with yours. It helps to know that others feel the same way. Georgia O’Keefe said, “ I have been absolutely terrified every single day of my life but I never let it stop me from doing a single thing I wanted to.”
Wishing you a happy spring, my friend. And much peace. ❤
What a brilliant saying, Beth! Thank you for sharing it ❤️ Sending love and peace to you too.
My effort this spring to create a new habit is to gradually walk a little further each week. I have a small pedometer that I keep in my pocket. My average per day at the beginning of the year was around 6-7,000 steps and now my average is 7-8,000 steps per day.
Privet Ana and thank you for your lovely, calm videos and your heartful presence. I loved the idea of photo journaling, maybe I'll try that some day too. Also I think it's a fantastic idea to write all fears (and perhaps other emotions as well?) down in the journal, so go for it! I do emotional journaling almost on a daily basis whenever I feel something's bugging me. Then I sit down with some music that usually starts palying in my mind and play it and that always brings the emotions forth so that I can relelase it and understand "the story" behind them. I've been doing this kind of emotional clearing work already for years and it has taught me a great deal of myself, the stranger I was to myself way too long. I've also been rather fearful in my life but diving in to myself, my inner self has become the easiest part. The most difficult part has been trying to live in this physical world ,"out there", but I'm managing in my own ways. Lots of love from Finland 🥰
You are a precious person! Keep your talents in your heart and share them with us!
When I was struggling with a child’s illness I had many terrible emotions. Over time, I managed de-construct the emotions and I found that I could carry the suffering of loss, sadness but the suffering that came with fear was unbearable. I do not know exactly how I managed to conquer fear…but detangling it from other emotions was part of the process. I think I also started getting angry at being fearful and started emulating other people who seemed to not live in fear. As well, I came to understand that even if the worst did happen, I would not unravel and be destroyed. But if I continued to live in fear, destruction was likely.
I'm so sorry you had to go through such challenging times with your child, dear Alexandra... Your experience and the way you describe your thoughts is very powerful. You're an inspiration ❤️ Thank you.
It's a bit like becoming friends with your fear 🌼
Ana, you may feel fearful, however, you are a very courageous person, because you choose to move through and past the fear.
I was a very sick child and I became more and more anxious as my world shrank and I sensed my families fears concerning me. However, once I became healthier I realized I no longer wanted to live in that limiting world of fear. I decided to think of what would be the scariest experience for me that others felt completely safe doing. That turned out to be being the central focus of strangers and possibly doing something embarrassing. I was 14 at the time when I took a drama class. It helped me to see that rarely does most scary things actually pan out as our imagination would have us believe. As long as an action or event is in actuality safe, I know if it scares me I should do it to see if the result can open a door to a wonderful experience as well as amazing myself by bolstering my confidence.
I think, it is a good idea to write your fears down, because then they are a bit out of your head! I like your bracelets a lot and I wish you and Brian all the best ❤️🍀🙋🏼♀️.
Clean windows are a huge energy and mood boost, especially when you live where winters are hard. Good luck on your "no or less fear" journey. I too have done brave things, but I envy those who lack anxiety.
Thank you, Michaela 🌷I think almost all people have anxiety, some more than others 😊
Hi Ana, I love your videos so much. They are very calming and relaxing ☺️. Right now in the USA our spring has been cold and rainy. Finally the weather is starting to improve so that I can enjoy being outside and enjoying nature. I have a pretty large backyard so I planted a lot of perennials, peach trees, apple trees,blueberries, and Concord grapes. I enjoy watching the birds and animals come out and enjoy the yard as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and have a wonderful day.🥰🌻❤️
It's a brilliant strategy 👏 Mindfulness and kind to your feelings ❤
I also have the habit of planting flowers on my balcony. It's these little wonders that motivate me and make me grateful 🌺
You are such a beautiful and sensitive person Ana. Thank you for being that way in this (sometimes mad) world💞
Thank you for your kindness, Eduarda ❤️
Привет, Ана 😊 I just wanted to share something I heard recently (in a podcast on psychology and the mind). Whenever you feel an inner conflict or feel stuck between different feelings or desires, remember that all these different parts of you are trying to protect you. For example, a desire for change may be trying to protect you from stagnation, but at the same time fear may just be your mind trying to protect you from loss and pain. For me it was a huge shift in perspective to realise that fear (or any part of you you don't like) may actually be looking out for you, even if in a misguided or unhelpful way. Just sharing in case it strikes a chord with other people out there too 🌷
Привет, Юле! I really love this perspective, thank you so much for sharing ❤️Indeed, fear can be not just a destructive but a protecting force.
Hi Ana…. Happy Spring to you. We in Autumn now, I love it.
Clean windows bring in light and hope into your home. Having a clean home is important. Enjoy spring and be safe. Love from Cape Town South Africa 🤗🌷
So nice❤
I see the lilacs are there already. They are divine 😍
And I must clean my windows too 😁
Much love
I am happy to see you looking more at peace with your new life. I wish you success on your project to conquer fear, I think you will find you have already won.
Thank you, Tere 🌷
Thank you for bringing peace and joy into our hearts Ana 🙏❤️🌈
Nice vid to watch on Earth Day. Beautiful, simple steps. Thanks, Ana. I echo the feeling of worry with heat after spring. I've been trying to notice more bird songs and birds. I saw short about how can help with mental health and trying to savor each day 🐦 😊 🌿
I'm gardening too this spring! I love it.
❤❤❤❤❤
As always, thank you. Clean windows feel good :-)
Chronic fear can be very real. The new fear/rhyme game sounds fun.
Dearest Ana, always looking forward to Sundays to see you and to see what you are bringing forth I can learn from. You never disappoint. I see from your videos that you are happy and you make your own simple pleasures. I wish you continued happiness, good health and love, my dear friend. ❤️🌸🌼🌺❤️
I think I will go on nature walks and photograph something that will remind me of the day. It sounds pleasant enough, and I like to collect photos of places I've been. Thanks for the inspiration, Ana!
I'm so glad you got inspired with the idea, Betty! ❤️
❤❤❤❤
Fantastic, I bought a little printer for my smartphone for using the stickers for my diary. Always beautiful to see you Ana, sending you love ❤
Sending love back, dear Melanie! A little printer for stickers is such a great thing to have 🌷
@@anagoldberg Thank you ❤️
Yes. We love A stranger
I love this video is really inspiring ❤
Hi Ana, gee, this is such a thoughtful and relevant video! Like you, spring brings a sense of foreboding for me. I used to look forward to this season but now, with all the extreme weather changes, I have grown fearful. Out here in CA spring means that fire season is soon to come, and the potential for more extensive destruction of our land. But this morning I see that a flock of quail have returned to my back yard and I will be filling the feeder for them once again. Seeing these silly birds just makes my day, as does your weekly video. Thank you Ana ❤❤
Enjoy those silly birds ❤❤prayed you find peace and decreased anxiety in Jesus name❤❤❤.
Birds are such lovely companions! Happy you have them as your friends there, Ted 🌷
Happy Spring, Ana ! I have also found that when I want to change something, doing so with individual steps usually helps to keep anxiety managable. When you feel fearful, Ana, please remember the day when you were so brave you had a booth at that street fair! You met many interesting people, and fit right in as part of that exciting day!
You're so sweet, my friend! Thank you ❤️ And happy spring to you too!
Thank you Ana, much appreciated...
Love this video Thank you so much for sharing
😊😊
Ahhhhh, a beautiful video! The nature footage was especially gorgeous - to see you talk about getting through a tough winter over all these scenes of sunshine and blossoming was somehow very precious.
And I loved your fear-training habit! I am very fearful too! I would love to hear how the project goes, if you ever feel like talking about the process more.
Hi Maria-Anna! I can already see the benefits of this habit. At least, the silly rhymes I come up with make me laugh and thus diminish the fear 😊
Hi Ana, I love all these ideas. I've been thinking of planting some veggies in my small apt for several yrs now. You have inspired me! I think writing down thoughts, fears, etc. is very theraputic. Sending love, Lori
Good luck with planting, Lori! 🌿 Sending love back to you ❤️
I see what you mean by going through frightening scenarios but always feeling fearful. I've experienced the same myself several times. Although fearful is the last word I'd use to describe you, considering what you've gone through in your life and still are. There's a quote upon my desk stating: "You don't get rid of something by avoiding it but only by going through it" and I know that's the bare truth. Yet, I think there's a fine line between stretching your limits when you feel they can be challenged and forcing yourself to do something you're not ready for and you'll maybe never be. Your idea about facing your fears by putting them in rhymes is genius 😮I hope it'll work for you ❤🙏
Thank you for your kind words, dear Anna ❤️ Sending love!
You're strategy for coping with fear reminds me of a Shel Silverstein poem called "What ifs", I was just working in a 5th grade classroom where they wrote their own rhyming "What if" poems and it was very similar to your exercise. I love it :D
I enjoy your videos very much Ana! ❤❤
Great video Ana
Great thumbnail image! ❤
Ana. Please give an example of a rhyme that you did when fear wanted to steal from your life ?(as suggested). I want to try it too. Thanks. South Africa.
I do all my personal writing in my mother tongue, not in English, so it's difficult to share 😊 And the rhymes so silly that I would feel embarrassed. My advice is just go with the words souns good together and brings some meaning alongside with humor. The other day I wrote a rhyme about my fear of failure and then laughed out loud reading what I wrote about it. It immediately reduced the drama and seriousness of my fear 😅
Hi Ana I understand your fear I’m the same and it causes a lot of anxiety I really like your pictures with a story this is very nice thank you for sharing your video
Nice vlog Ana, thank you.
Your new habit is so interesting !. I love this idea ❤ can you give me an example of the two lines rhyme ? Sandrine, France
Wonderful content & I think facing Fear by means of writing is a really good idea- I’m positive it will help you. Beautiful scenery & loved the journal photos. I hate cleaning windows but it has to be done ! 😂Tomorrow evening we are celebrating Passover & praying for worldwide peace 🙏🙏❤️
Happy Passover, dear Sharon 🌷 Much love and peace to you ❤️
This is another lovely vlog. I wish you all the best in your endeavours. I admire those who take risks and are fearless. I'm not like that, unfortunately. I'm sending you sunny greetings from Greece, where I'm currently on vacation 🥰. Best wishes for you and Brian ❤ P.S. I like your bracelets, I too wear something similar
Happy vacation time, dear Anita! Greece must be beautiful now ❤️
@@anagoldberg thank you, it really is a good time to travel to Greece. Take care 🙏
Thank u ana for taking time to make this video. Can i know the instrumental background music name please ana?
Dear Ana, I always love your videos and you look like a wonderful person😊! If you allow me to advise you on a book to read (one that could potentially change your life to better), it is “Heal Your Life” by Louise Hay. This is the book I literally owe my life to, no joke!! It also helped members of my closest family and my best friend. Just read it, you wouldn’t regret!
Dear Ana, thank you for the suggestion! This book was given to me as a gift from my cousin during a very challenging time in my life. It helped ❤️
