A good self-care rule of thumb: treat yourself how you would treat your best friend; imagine you've got their body and they've got yours, and you have to give it back at the end of it all!

this was so inspiring and funny at the same time omg ily

when someone asks you "how are you" in eastern europe, you're telling them how you are, that's the rule, i like it

If I didn't go out every time I didn't want to I'd never go outside

talking to myself not only improved my speech skills in english (not my first language) but also improved my mental health a hell lot. I've learned to confront myself in a creative way and even compliment myself in little ways.

[tallasianchick]

My self-care regime is just putting myself first. They tell you on planes during emergencies to put your mask on before putting it on a child. Same thing with mental health. Let the kids suffer first.




I apologize for this joke...

I find that when I tell someone I feel "terrible" and they ask me what happened, I feel the need to tell them everything. I think we should also keep in mind that not everyone has to know every little detail of your life and it's totally okay not to share details of why you feel bad. I actually find it easier to say "I'm doing good" when I don't want to share details of my life with someone, even though it's technically a little lie. :) I noticed that a lot of people (especially women) have this need to always explain everything like we need to give an account for everything to everyone, including why we feel terrible. And this is totally not true! Not everyone has to know everything! And you are not a bad person for keeping private things private.

When people ask me how I am, most of the time I respond with: “not my best day, but I’ll get better.”
It gives me hope 😊

[StarlightxSlasher]

With tears in my eyes let me just say how blessed I am that I stubbled upon your channel and how big of an impact your making on my life.

[harperfierrohere]

Your posts honestly keep me inspired when i hit a slum

[charlenewrite]

Anna you’re the best! Seriously your videos always seem to find me at the right time💕 and you’re vegan! You’re fabulous xxx

[yasleycartagena]

This is actually quite comforting to me since I can get emotionally drained and such cause of my day-to-day life and often bail on previously agreed upon "engagements". Thanks Anna Akana, stay Awesome.

[EdgardRambo]

Yes, be sincere to others and true to yourself.

[SwingLine]

I'm so proud of you Anna!!! I've been a long time watcher and I know you've been juggling the idea of getting a tattoo for a very long time, so it's so exciting to see you finally get one <3

[kayanatorx]

These videos make me feel like I have a supporting friend right beside me so thank you Anna for putting yourself out there on such an open platform to bring awareness about mental health issues and how you personally are trying to go about them. It has genuinely helped me in some form with getting through my physical and mental health issues by also not feeling alone going through this all.

2:46 Lol. ❤️
Anna is such an inspiration.

[yaboi]

Yess! You have been wanting a tattoo forever and I really love the outcome! And I think self care is something I don't do, so this is pretty helpful and inspiring 😘 Love you Anna x

[AnnafromHungarylvNW]

I love the idea of telling people how I actually am when they ask. Thank you

[MiaRedmond]

Integrity is huge. Values over personal gain. Its a form of self care and speaks alot about what youre about

I love that you put classical music in your videos, this symphony is actually one of my favourites by Beethoven.
