What's one of your WINS or accomplishments (big or small!) that you're proud of this week? 😄

[SophiaGrausamArtwork]

Big win: I’m disabled because of my chronic illness and I was able to go on a short walk (3 minutes) down the street and my joints didn’t hurt me days after!

[TheLexieWilson]

I randomly decided to go watch this and I’m so glad I did because I didn’t realize that I actually needed all these reminders. So thank you! I’m giving myself permission to just do “nothing” and not feel the pressure to work on anything. Thank you!

[pauline]

I just finished my application for the master degree of my dreams!
Wish me luck :)

When you get tired or overwhelmed it can be natural to not want to do anything, but I honestly think doing one quick task will make you feel accomplished even if it is just doing dishes or putting laundry away. You are totally correct!

[Amaika]

My go to is to go on a walk. So simple but it helps soooo much! The sun charges me, I can ignore my phone and zone out and be aware of nature, breathe and check in with my mind and clear what has been weighing me down. I can say I exercised and accomplished something and I always feel better after. Even if its a 5 min lap around the backyard in your pjs. Then go drink some water

The best thing that I did for myself is to uninstall my Facebook app on my phone. And for the past few weeks, I realize that I don’t need it! My life is ok without it. Now I did so much things each day without scrolling on my phone the whole day!

[amenaeira]

Honestly I always give your videos a thumb up before actually starting watching them because I love all your kinds of content you make 😌

[tulhsjh]

Small win - having the courage to talk to strangers. Turned out great, we became friends! :)

[hellouu]

Whenever I feel unmotivated, I clean the house lol cleaning makes me feel great. Have a happy day ahead, everyone!

[plannersparkle]

I’ll listen to meditation music and take a nap when I am unmotivated or not feeling well

[malaksayed]

Your video is so useful and you're so beautiful ✨❤️

[debiulmer]

I’m always doing something - I’m sitting here watching your YouTube and it feels like I am being kind to myself.

[inesperenyi]

Meghan, I just wanted you to know that I never miss any of your videos and always find something helpful in all of them. this one is particularly helpful since these have been the worst two years of my life - just one thing after another. Have felt very unmotivated lately and am going to put many of your suggestions into practice, starting today. Just seeing your lovely, calm face makes me feel better, Thanks so much!

This came to me just when I needed it ❤️ thanks so much for making these videos, I’ve been watching them all week and taking away some of your helpful tips :)

Hi, I haven’t watched your videos for so long for some reasons. I love these tips and your gentle energy. 💚

Little win... I picked some flowering coriander, lavendar and nastursiums and made the prettiest little bunch for my kitchen bench. This motivated me to clean up the kitchen.

[pinkypanchal]

One of the best videos! A small Prayer will be a bonus tip
