Dealing with & embracing change // saying goodbye

Creating this video is really helping me close this chapter and find my way through the mist of uncertainty.

When you remove all labels and you don’t know who you are anymore

Lauren Hogg 2024-04-16 | When your life feels like a mess, you're free-falling & have no idea who you are anymore...
You sit in a tree and talk it out.

I’m going through a lot of fundamental changes in my life at the moment and I’m somewhat dealing with them? But also not really.
This is a video of me trying to make sense of my own life, via talking to a camera and sharing if you happen to feel a similar way.

We Become Brave By Performing Brave Actions.

Lauren Hogg 2023-06-08 | Bravery is the opposite of comfort. And being comfortable is actually deeply uncomfortable.
To live the life we desire we must be courageous; we must do what other’s won’t.

On a beautiful winter's morning in Australia, I share my thoughts on courage, bravery & comfort as -

Human beings need purpose in order to live a fulfilling existence. And that future is entirely possible for you, if you practice bravery every chance you get.

My Sources of Motivation, Inspiration & Insight. These things make me better.

Lauren Hogg 2023-05-25 | My visual journal.
This is what helps to motivate, inspire and provide greater insight into the world around me. For me.
My handwritten journal is filled with little notes to myself, so here’s a copy for you.

I’ve designed this video for you to be able to come back whenever you need. With each watch you might get something different out of it and every little note can be interpreted differently - depending on your experiences.

I hope you find it beneficial and enjoy the footage from a lovely beach morning in the background.

Get Over Yourself.

Lauren Hogg 2023-05-11 | Life advice I received from a friend recently.

Life is going to be full of discomforts, suffering and things we would rather not engage with. But that doesn’t make them go away.
Sometimes we just need to get over ourselves and do the work. For ourselves and those around us.

You Need to Get Outside. Alone.

Lauren Hogg 2023-05-04 | If you’re feeling stuck, lost, sad, lonely… try getting outside. Somewhere you feel comfortable.
It’s so much easier to curl up inside with our phones, but you don’t feel any better that way. When you’re feeling low, you want to stop feeling low. Getting outside will actually change your mood, I promise.

A reminder and encouragement to get outside and try it for yourself.
Try what?
Going out into nature, by yourself, with nothing but observing and seeing where things take you

My Creative Inspiration // & what the creative process does for me

Lauren Hogg 2023-04-27 | I was soaked, sandy and so happy after filming this video. My camera was (very) wet and I dropped my mic in the (wet) sand, but it was a bloody epic way to start my day.
Music is something special. I hope you feel inspired to get out and create in whatever way energises & excites you; it’s a beautiful way to utilise this life.

how I use my time // a chill weekend

Lauren Hogg 2022-11-03 | This is how I seemingly have more time in my day and use it in ways that add value to my life.

If you’re looking for how to manage your time and be more efficient, productive or have gain insight into how you can better manage your time, I highly recommend this video by Ali Abdaal: youtube.com/watch?v=iONDebHX9qk
He goes through 10 practical methods and systems to better manage your time.

Prompts:
1. Are you happy with how you spend your days?
2. Did you have a good day today? (Whatever that means for you)
3. Is there something you’d like to do but can’t seem to find the time?
4. If so, what’s the smallest possible thing or step you could take to making more time for it? (I.e, if I want to have a home-cooked meal each night, what could I do to achieve that? Every weekend I could make 2x big meals that I have ready in the fridge to heat up each night. It’s a small step and not ideal, but they’re still home-cooked dinners and don’t take much time to prepare.)

My Experience Meditating: healing my relationship with my mind

Lauren Hogg 2022-10-27 | For a long time, the idea of sitting down with only my thoughts for company was a terrifying prospect.
Until I finally realised that was probably exactly why I needed to.

This is what mediation has given me.

Prompts:
1. How do you feel when your phone is out of charge or you have nothing to occupy your attention? Do you look for something else or can you sit with yourself?
2. How do you feel about the idea of mediating? Of sitting or lying down with the idea to allow your thoughts to freely move within your mind?
3. What is most on your mind right now?
4. And have you given yourself the time and space to think through what is most on your mind right now?

dance with me on this random day because it feels incredible to move to music

Lauren Hogg 2022-10-20 | When was the last time you put on some music, purely just to move to it?
To succumb to whatever you were feeling, move in whatever way you wanted, being so present and free?

It’s been a looooong while for me.

My Daily Yoga Flow w/ Sjana Elise

Lauren Hogg 2022-06-30 | My everyday morning yoga routine consists of; mindful, compassionate movement, gratitude and breath work.

When I first started daily yoga in 2020, I relied heavily on guided flows on YouTube.
And as I became more comfortable with the movements, I wanted to design something for me & my body specifically.
So I did. And it quickly became my default morning flow.

I am so excited to share with with you today ❤️

A huge, HUGE thank you to @sjana for being an incredible, welcoming and loving human. I am honoured to have connected with you in this way.

And thank you Louie. You know what you mean to me and I am beyond grateful to have your support, always.

This is How I Learned to Love My Body

Lauren Hogg 2022-05-12 | My relationship with my body is ever-growing & ever-changing.
Sometimes I am really feeling myself and appreciating every little aspect, other times I am very self-conscious and critical.
But I’ve found that it’s vital to ensure that I am looking at my body in a realistic, sustainable and positive way. Because our bodies are ultimately built to be of service to us. And they’re amazing.

This is how I shifted my mindset so I can look at my body realistically which helps me love & appreciate it and recognise how incredible it is.

Are you ever alone with your thoughts? | Do you feel connected to yourself?

Lauren Hogg 2022-04-14 | It seems like we’re always plugged in; on our phones, listening to music or podcasts, TV on in the background… do we ever really have time to ourselves?
Time alone is vital for our wellbeing, happiness & growth. And in this video, you’ll hear my current thoughts on this topic.

Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments 😊

Some questions to think about/ journal on:
☀️ Can you relate to anything in this video? This feeling of being scared or uncomfortable being alone with your thoughts? Of a craving to disconnect & focus on yourself?
☀️ Do you give yourself time for your thoughts?
☀️ Do you feel that stepping away from (or spending more time on) screens will help you get to know yourself?

i took myself on a date | self-confidence & doing things alone

Lauren Hogg 2022-04-07 | Here’s to enjoying time alone, not being afraid of it, doing things for ourselves and not caring what others think ☀️

I’ve found myself gravitating towards spending more time by myself recently; it’s been nice to just be in my thoughts & to not worry about anyone else.
So I decided to get dressed up & take myself out on a date to the park.

I’ve found that spending more time alone has strengthened my relationships with others, because I value and crave time with them more. It’s always wonderful to feel loved and wanted 😊
I encourage you to plan a little date for yourself - it’s worth it. And so are you ❤️

is there something youve always wanted to do but never have? | Ordinary Motivation

Lauren Hogg 2021-04-22 | Of course there is! We all have that one (or many) things that we want to do/ learn.
I encourage you to take action, today!!

Ordinary Motivation is a short motivational series set in the everyday. It’s not meticulously orchestrated or visually perfect; there’s no uplifting music. It’s just me, to you.
There’s nothing groundbreaking or nuanced in these messages, but sometimes we just need little reminders ❤️
