What my mom once told me, has always helped me so much: No matter where you go, or what you decide, you can always go back and return, if you’re not happy. So don’t be afraid to go, wherever you feel you want to go. You will see how you feel, when you get there.

I have OCD and i really struggle with the decision of right and wrong. Thanks to therapy i learned that there is not right or wrong choice. every choice has its own pros and cons. Rather than trying to find the right choice we need to accept the uncertainty and lean into discomfort.

anyone else just as excited as i am for those beautiful hiking videos in Switzerland ...and the picnics at the lake ... and the weekends at the cabin ...i am happy for your decision ! Greetings from a romanian living in Berlin for a few years. I get the ''the grounded feeling'' so well....I wish you all the best Chloe, no matter where you settle! ❤

This felt like old Chloe, the girl we knew two years ago who spent her time running around the city, swimming in frigid lakes, going on solo hikes, and genuinely appreciating the little things in life… not hyper analyzing everything and spinning it to be some ground breaking life hacking be your peak self shit.

I hope you’re able to come back to yourself again, I know a lot of us have been holding out hope for that.

I am in the exact same place in my life. I've been travelling a lot these past years and i feel like even though it was an incredible opportunity, i didn't get the chance to create stable relashionships in my life. I think that's one of the cons of travelling : you get to live an exciting life but you sometimes feel very lonely.

Be with your family and friends, what is more important than that? Your wish having a home base is the most natural thing there is. To be surrounded by a social network that supports and loves you and nourishes your feeling of security will ensure that you can thrive freely again. Take a breath, Chloé!! Peace and Love!

I take two things into account:
1. Being a woman, I always give it at least a month (full menstrual cycle, or two) before I make a big life decision. It really helps in sorting out what is my hormones making me feel a certain way and what it a genuine shift that needs to be made in my life for my growth.
2. I always try & leave a place or something behind with appreciation, gratitude, and as much love as possible. When things are not left in peace, they tend to bring up many unpleasant/negative feelings or thoughts regarding the outlook of my past, present & what is coming.

I’ve had ocd all my life and started treating it 4 years ago, when I left uni and felt overwhelmed by life and making the right decision, and I started having panic attacks. I learned nothing is black and white, and that’s exactly were the beauty of life is found. Right in the middle of it. Something could be white and get darker the next day, we change, things change and we grow a little bit every day. I’ve learned not be too hard on myself and give myself some window for mistakes, it’s okay to try things, that’s where we learn. Talking about things with my friends, my therapist, writing down my thoughts and find calmness in my life to give space to thinking, have helped me a lot.

Regarding your question, I am extremely inpatient. I need everything to planned and controlled. I can barely live with uncertainty. Going with the flow is almost impossible and I have to learn this.

wow, this video really touched me. I used to watch you when you were in Switzerland years ago and I’ve been with you ever since along your journey. this video felt like authenticity. like coming home. LOVE TO YOU CHLOE

Hey Chloe! Beautiful video! Good luck with your transition. The best advice I was given at one point when I was in a similar situation, not knowing which way to go next was to just make the next right move. You don't need to know all the steps you'll take or how everything will eventually work out—just take the next step that feels good. It'll unfold! Trust that it will and enjoy the moment you're in. Best of luck 💕

[jenninjapan]

I love your venerability and openness to whatever comes. “Be like water” that’s what I’m trying to do in my own life in times of not bing sure.

[HarryThomasPictures]

Happy September Chloe, thank you for being so open and honest with us. Hope your return to Europe is a positive one, we're here for you. Hugs❤!

Nope, I never rationalize, it always leads to overthinking for me, i dont know how its for others, but I trust my intuition and emotional needs, I think my deep self already knows where Im heading, and I have to trust this feeling and let it guide me. When I trust my deep self, thats when Im truly happy, thats when I feel in harmony with outside world, thats when I feel grounded.

[shahar]

Chloe, I appreciate your honesty a lot.
I faced a similar situation to yours last year, living in a natural environment away from home and from my partner too. I felt something very similar to what you're describing- this perfectionist voice telling me what is right and what's a "failure". Eventually I decided to leave (like in your situation it was the plan to come back home at some point, I just wasn't sure when). The experience was quite eye opening, at first I felt like a loser, but at some point I started looking at my decision as a win actually. I learned what it means to actually listen to MYSELF, so don't be hard on yourself with your decision whatever that is.
The way I deal with decision making has improved a lot lately, but I never fully "surrender" to the process, I don't think it's right either. I make lists all the time, but not pros and cons- I just try to script what I am able to see and add on to it a little bit every time, this way I get a bit more clarity. Sometimes I can get very obsessive about those lists (particularly in times of anxiety) but I try to Balance myself out as much as I can. I think the answer is somewhere in the middle and it's more about making sure you take care of yourself and try to spend as many hours/ days being busy thinking about your other interests in life and being present.

Interesting how you said with anxiety comes excitement it’s just how you perceive it. I’ve recently struggled with almost debilitating anxiety for the first time in my life and I’m struggling to move through it so I like the way you’ve phrased it in a more positive light. Thanks 😊

[hannahriley]

I have started to make decisions based on my intuition. I give myself options and then pay attention to how I feel. If it feels right, I go with that. Anxiety can still appear with the choice I make. But I really believe our intuition is always right

[climbingj]

Tune into your intuition, girl. Always go with your gut. It will not steer you wrong. Also, there is something to be said about finding your own inner peace, first and foremost. No matter where you go or how far you run, you always bring yourself along for the ride and, if you aren't at peace within yourself, no major life change is going to accomplish that for you.

[begumkaplan]

i love how you accept life. most of the time i really struggle and pressure myself about not knowing what to do or not being able to control but you help me remember to let go. everything will find it's way and i need to be kinder to myself. thank you✨💜

[pauhemia]

i always am and have been guided by my intuition, and in any moment that i have gone more for the rational route i've always regretted it ^^
