I know, nobody cares, but I am going to a state speech competition. Before that, I was shaky and red when I would go up and talk. When I started at the school competition, that was when I started watching your videos. If you know me personally, you'd very easily notice the changes I've had. All I want to say is thank you. Without you I have no idea what I might do. Now, public speaking is one of my talents. Once again, I couldn't have done it without you. xoxo, Libby

recently, due to family problems, I have become so unmotivated. I have lost the will to do anything. so this video means a lot to me. thank you, your videos are always amazing!!

[PamelaRubel]

Thank you, thank you so much! My creativity has been low lately, but my biggest problem is the huge anxiety I feel due to some news Im awating. You are like the therapist I desperately need. Since I found your channel last week, Ive been trying to replicate that positivity and will to live fully.

[catrinelgirbovan]

thank you for working so hard to put out such high quality videos. that right there is so creatively inspiring for others that may be in a rut. love the way you ended the video too, much love!

[annaskoupka]

I absolutly love talking to strangers. I met the weidest most fascinating people on the street or on the bus.
It's funny how I often dont talk about certain problems with my friends but get them solved at a 20 min ride with the bus^^

[reiyu]

thank you for this video. I've been going through an emotional rut and feeling uninspired. Thank you for the kind reminder that life is full of ups and downs and one day things will turn out better <3

[anuradha_sivaraman]

The best part of this video is the realization that you've been doing all this all the time along. Thanks a lot, for this video has helped me overcome my critical parent, that keeps telling me I need to do more! It's good in a way, but too much of it makes your anxiety spike off the roof.
These few months following your content has been the best thing I have done for the longest time! Thanks a lot, Aileen.

Things that make me feel better
1. Art bc my art is really pretty
2. Learning Korean language as I am learning
3. Travel
4. Listening audiobooks which are on my draft to read (listen)
5. Listening music alone
6. Diary writing whatever going on in my mind & life (journal)
Meanwhile I have theses things to make me feel better or good

We are coming from nature, it is our true source, so no wonder it is our inspiration. Thanks for reminding me that going into nature is just like coming home. Sending love and blessings to you, you are such a beautiful and precious soul.<3 xx

We do stumble off the path here and there. We need to not be so hard on ourselves. I have been on a journey of finding my true self and it's been great. This video resonates with me.

[serenamoreno]

currently in a rut and depression etc and you’re soul is so beautiful. I’m listening to you’re summer playlist and I’m liking it so far. I really Love you’re channel 💙💙.

[habibadesai]

I've started to lose a lot of my inspiration over the last few weeks including sinking into writers block which I absolutely hate, so each day I try and write a little bit on my phone notes, random stories, plot ideas and things. but watching this video is amazing because it makes me feel like I can get back into it by trying out other things and letting that feed into my writing, thanks so much for this video! it's beautiful 💙

[lauraskinner]

I need some inspiration in my life at the moment. I love your channel so so much. In my low days I listen to your videos and I feel so inspired to go out and conquer the world 💖❤️

[karenhelset]

I LOVE your channel! Found it today and have been watching your videos for many hours now. This is the kind of channel I've been looking for, and you really make me feel better. Aaand, I'm obsessed with journaling and notebooks too. Think it's the first time I've heard about someone else having this obession too! You are amazing. Keep posting and take care of yourself <3

[princessk]

Thank you for this video it inspired me right away. OMG I love your dog just a cutie

[issy]

It can literally be seen that you've left that rut (video production goals!) So far, this week's videos have been indirectly tailored towards how i'm going to spend my summer 😂. Super convenient ^-^

[anavargas]

Thanks Aileen! ❤️ I'm coming out of a rut and think the idea of letting yourself play is such a great one! One issue I'm facing is finally having some creative ideas but feeling overwhelmed about which one to choose and how to get started again. Any tips on diving back in?

[A.R.S_]

I discovered your channel this afternoon and I'm already feeling so inspired and great, I've been in kind of a rut lately feeling physically and mentally exhausted. You really help me get out of that. Thanks so much.

my favourite video to get back into my creative mindset

[ItsMeAmberMarie]

Oh my gosh! When you said get out in nature and showed the clips of trees and the ocean... where were you?? It was absolutely beautiful!
