Everything has been turning against me in so many different ways! But when I saw this video I realized how overwhelmed I've been lately. So thank you for helping me realize that!

[sonniloomis]

I can't tell you how much peace this has brought to me today. Thank you for all that you do. I can't express how much you have helped better my life and my children's. Thank you Dr.Paul

[heatherhealy]

Dr. Paul, you have a way of helping me see clearly. This video was so packed with truth and connection for me, thank you for what you do.
I commit to stop and practice this valuable way of seeing my circumstances as neutral, and see it as a choice (this is so good). Sounds like such freedom to me.

[deefee]

Thank you, Dr Paul, this really helped me today. I've been feeling overwhelmed. People, listen through to the end of video.

What an interesting and helpful perspective! I love the "fish in water" analogy!

[MegsCarpentry-lovedogs]

All your video's are so necessary Dr. Paul! It is a morning routine to listen to one every morning to set the tone. Yes, during the pandemic covid 19 a lot of challenges for billions of people. Horrific situations as natural disasters also ravage our planet. Sound positive to you?? This vid certainly put things in perspective. There are so many dips and rises emotionally to practice mental health strategies.🙃 Gosh! Who knew how "interesting" it would all be. I had to watch this vid twice to get the full "feel" of it. Ironically, I had to attach "emotional energy" into getting the points into my soul. LOL 🇨🇦 "It is what it is." A few words with a massive importance. 💚

As a nurse I find sometimes, actually more like daily on the job being overwhelmed. I work with all types of nurse. All different types of personalities. With a few core similarities. I will not get into those. But to know that sometimes you need to stop and thoughtfully assess your mindset and emotional state this can almost be impossible in times of great emergency. Sometimes we have to find that time to leave, when the moment arises. And reflect on what just happened. We can use this as a therapeutic self healing moment. Just know that for some of us we will have to carry the overwhelming just a little bit longer than most but our time to empty the tea cup always comes.

Love the way you explain .very simple but very effective ideas.There is a need for lot more people like you during this time.👍🏼

[roset]

thankyou for good commonsence real words that are understandable and applicable

[bethanyprior]

I really get so much positive information and skills to work on from your videos! Thank you! Even that fish is gonna bust out the water when it sees a predator coming for it. If it survives that's awesome! No one and nothing is perfect. Survive the best I can and be 😊 happy I'm not a fish lol

Being 😇 it does need wisdom, strength, and courage to be fully aware of the way and ourselves

Hey do you have a video of what it is like for a kid to go through a divorce? Cause I'm 13 years old and my mom and dad have been divorced for about five years now and i'm still really sad about that. And I live with my dad, he's the best. I'm sure you love your kids, and your wife love your kids very much. (Like my mom never did for me and my little brother.) Your a very good guy! And a good Child Psychologist!

[Coolcatsbricks]

So true! Life is full of challenges, big & small. I believe it's important to embrace it all. Life is a gift 💗 Let's enjoy life & our loved ones 🥰 "Be courageous & strong" as Jesus says 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️💕 God Bless you & everyone in the world ✝️💗

[raisingchildrennetwork]

Mmm, it's very descriptive sir, nice. although I have no any knowledge about psychology, I feel all these situations can named as Nature, if the nature's behaviour is that, we have to be in it. 😊

[eunhyeokk]

Do you realize that Trump got in hot water for saying, "It is what it is?"

[Venus.actor.singer]
