Introducing: Dr Meemersworth - Our New Scottish Fold Kitten! Eatyourkimchi Studio 2026-09-26 | Introducing: Dr Meemersworth - Our New Scottish Fold Kitten!
Getting Back to Food Eatyourkimchi Studio 2023-09-10 | l moved to Portugal almost two years ago. What have I been doing since then? I’ve done some videos about some of the books I’ve been reading, but otherwise I haven’t really shared much about how I’ve been spending my time.Here’s a short snippet of a video I just made, talking about my exit from YouTube, food and travel, Japan, relationships, and more. I disassembled all of the points of contact I once had while wandering the woods, and obsessed over healing, to an unhealthy degree. It took me a while to realize how my approach to the healing process has been damaging to me and to those around me, and I think I’ve come to a point now where I’m ready to reintegrate with the parts of me I’ve been neglecting. I’m here to celebrate my love of food and travel again, to share this city and country that I now call home, and to connect with the people and community around me. I’ll share what that process was like in this video, and tomorrow I’ll be sharing my guide on What to Eat in Lisbon. Check it out on YouTube. Link in the bio.Special thanks to Christopher @camcat.pt for his brilliant cinematography and editing, and for helping me bring the ideas I have to light. I so value his drive and inspiration, and for the value he’s bringing to these videos we’re working on.
Reconnected: Lets Get Back to Food Eatyourkimchi Studio 2023-09-03 | Three years since I left Japan. Three years and countless hours of deep digging into myself - my sense of self - and in grinding through this healing journey. Where has it taken me? And, has it taken me too far? At what point does healing become…unhealthy?I think you saw how unhealthy I got at one point. I had a very challenging relationship with food post-Covid, and I've slowly, very slowly, been finding a way to get comfortable with what was once a big part of me, to integrate with the parts of me that I was rejecting.But this video isn't about that. I’m going to talk about my spiritual journey, how it’s helped me, and the parts where it has not only hurt me, but also hurt those around me. Healing isn’t a binary, going from unhealthy to healthy; healing is a spectrum, and if you do too much of it, you can end up just as unhealthy as you were before.If you’re more interested in food and travel, though, great! I'm excited about it again! I’ve got two more videos in the works. My What to Eat in Lisbon guide is filmed, and now in the editing process, and we’re filming another great food video this week as well. I hope you like them when they're ready. Back to showing you great spots to add to your list of where to eat in Lisbon and Portugal.Much thanks to Christopher Michael @camcat for being such a huge part of this process. If you’re in Portugal and you need a film/editing guy who knows his shit, ping Camcat.pt.Also, for those of you on the path, I’d like to share a small map of the woods I’ve walked through, and at what point I found my way out. The only way out is through. I’m working on a short book as well, which will go up on my Patreon in the coming months. I’m more than 50% done the project, which is going in a direction that I haven’t heard any of the wellness community talk about yet, except in brief passing. I’ve put together a lot of the different ideas I gathered from the many different modalities of therapy I’ve experienced and studied, different aspects of the mystic side of Buddhism, neuroscience and psychology, linguistics and emotions, longevity and health, and more.

A Short Little Bit of Graca Eatyourkimchi Studio 2023-05-08 | Here's a little look at the street art in Graça, Lisbon
A Little Bit of Graça, Lisbon Eatyourkimchi Studio 2023-05-08 | I love this part of Lisbon, and really felt inspired by it lately. I’m regularly seeing artists spend hours working on these pieces. Graca has some pieces that I see tourists stopping and there are some famous pieces here, along with some beautiful murals lining dead end streets that nobody seems to walk through.I just put together some shots that I really love the look of. I hope you like them too. Thanks for watching.
Were All Just Big Babies Eatyourkimchi Studio 2023-03-17 | What we learned as babies we forgot as adults. When we're not feeling our best, we often forget about taking care of our bodies before we try to solve our problems. I’ll talk about this, anxious attachment, and emotional slavery over on the full video, check out youtube.com/watch?v=MgPGvlsAoeQ#psychology #booktube #neuroscience
How do Other Cultures Feel Emotions Differently? Eatyourkimchi Studio 2023-03-01 | Here's a small sample from my my interview with Lisa Feldman Barrett, who is one of the most cited scientists in the world, and author of "How Emotions Are Made." I've done a full video series exploring her book and talking about the concepts, and also got to sit down with her and chat about some of these ideas.In this clip, Dr Barrett talks about how other cultures have different understandings of emotion, while we don't view emotions and physical symptoms as connected.
Emotions as Concepts Eatyourkimchi Studio 2023-02-27 | Here’s another small sample from the video I did with Lisa Feldman Barrett, in my video series on “How Emotions Are Made”. This was a very important part of the interview for me, as we discuss some of the cultural beliefs around emotions, and how we’re supposed to behave with them. On the growing mindfulness front, we’re told to be aware of our thoughts, and this often leads to spiritual bypass and experiential avoidance; on the emotional health front, we’re told to be true to ourselves, to be authentic, to not avoid our emotions, and this often leads to a fierce defence of our truths and our stories. How do we get in touch with our emotions, without getting lost in the stories that they come with, and without using our emotions as justification for our unhealthy patterns? Do we sit with our emotional stories and stew in them for hours? Or do we use mindfulness to silence our thoughts?A healthy middle path is to be mindful of our emotions, to look at the physical part of our emotional experience closely, and to let them dissolve. Notice what sensations are arising in us. How do our challenging emotions feel, in our bodies? Can we experience what our bodies are feeling, without adding emotional concepts to them? Let’s experience the feelings, closely, more than the narratives that come with them, without getting lost in the Dramatic Triangle framework we keep using to understand our experiences. Instead of feeding our thoughts with more storytelling, how can we offer ourselves some self-care, self-empathy, and self-soothing?Lisa Feldman Barrett is one of the world’s leading neuroscientists, and a major figure in modern science’s understanding of emotion. Her book challenges a lot of the cultural baggage of our understanding of emotion.

Interview with Lisa Feldman Barrett: The Effects of Being Stressed While Eating Eatyourkimchi Studio 2023-02-21 | This is huge for me. I’ve been working on this video series on Lisa Feldman Barrett’s “How Emotions Are Made,” for a while now, and have really been trying to explain how the body makes emotions, how the brain constructs your feelings, and how we can better master our emotions once we know how they’re actually made. But that was just me reading the book and talking about it. Now, I’m super honoured that I’ve actually got the author with me, who is amongst the top 1% of cited scientists IN THE WORLD, and we’re going to discuss these ideas with more detail and - now that it’s not just me rambling here - with a bit more credibility as well. This is huge for me. This is the direction I’d love to go, to really digest some of the most important and up to date ideas in science, and to talk with these authors and to share these talks with whoever wants to watch them. I was super nervous in speaking with her, as I’m more used to interviewing Sushi chefs than Neuroscientists, but I’m sure with practice I’ll get better at it.The interview is in two parts. Part 1 is on Eatyourkimchi, and there we’ll discuss the metaphor of the body budget a bit more, and look into the possibility of hoarding resources for your budget, and if that even makes sense. Check it out here:☞ youtu.be/7686weIa6fcIn Part 2, we’ll really get more into it, and look at the dissolution of emotions in Buddhism, in different cultures, and how the sensations of your body play in with the emotions you’re feeling.#psychology #booktube #neuroscience
How Emotions Are Made: Interview with the Author Part 1 - The Body Budget Eatyourkimchi Studio 2023-02-21 | For the past six videos, I've been digging through Lisa Feldman Barrett's "How Emotions Are Made," and really trying to understand the Theory of Constructed Emotion. In these videos, we went from debunking some old ideas about the brain and emotions, to understanding Interoception, Emotional Concepts, Patterning, Projection, and most importantly to me, the idea of the Body Budget, which is a great metaphor for understanding what our brains are doing.Now, I took the idea of the Body Budget a bit far, and came up with some conclusions that push the limits of the metaphor. Thankfully, the author was kind enough to spend an hour with me to clarify some of these ideas, and then to really go deep with them.This first part of the interview focuses on the body budget, and introduces the concepts of Allostasis and Prediction Error. In the second part of this interview, that's where we go really deep, and apply these ideas to language learning, Buddhism and mindfulness, behavior, Alexithymia, and the Glorious Circumplex. Check out part 2 here:☞ youtu.be/gpOBjSr_ogYNow, while I'm just trying to popularize the science and the ideas of Lisa Feldman Barrett's work, these videos are a poor substitute for her actual work. She's in the top 1% of cited scientists in the world. She really knows her stuff. And there's a lot in her books that I didn't cover. If you're interested in Illness and Chronic Conditions, Animal Rights, or the Criminal System, she applies her understanding of the brain and emotions in these areas, with really interesting conclusions that I won't cover in these videos. Check out her books "How Emotions Are Made" and "Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain".☞ lisafeldmanbarrett.comYou can also find her on☞ http://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-feldman-barrett☞ http://www.twitter.com/LFeldmanBarrettOtherwise, if you found this interview interesting, it's my dream to do more of them with the authors that I'm reading, and I'd love your support on Patreon. Patrons get these videos ad-free, and a day in advance, along with the scripts as well.☞ http://www.patreon.com/simonsbookclubIf you'd like to talk about these ideas some more, we're discussing this book, and the other books I've covered, over on the Discord.

How The Circumplex Can Help You Describe Your Emotions Eatyourkimchi Studio 2023-02-07 | Here's another snippet from my newest video in the series I'm doing on Lisa Feldman Barrett's "How Emotions Are Made." I’m talking about the circumplex, the glorious circumplex. ALL HAIL THE CIRCUMPLEX. It’s an amazing tool that really helps you connect with other people’s emotional concepts. I talk about it a bit here, and I show you what the circumplex looks like in my full video, over on @simonsbookclub. Check it out. youtube.com/watch?v=psnqY5WFxyQ#psychology #booktube #neuroscience
How to Master Your Emotions Eatyourkimchi Studio 2023-01-29 | Here's a snippet from my newest video in the series I'm doing on Lisa Feldman Barrett's "How Emotions Are Made." In the full video, I'm talking about how to replenish the body budget, and other language tools that can be used to help with emotional mastery, according to the author. This snippet here is a small section from my talk on the body budget, and what imbalances in our budgets sometimes result in.Check out the full video here:youtu.be/EWgabYTlFEo#psychology #booktube #neuroscience
How to Master Your Emotions Eatyourkimchi Studio 2023-01-29 | In Part 5 of this deep dive into Lisa Feldman Barrett’s “How Emotions Are Made,” we’re going to look over some of the suggestions in her chapter on Mastering Your Emotions. Now that we understand what emotions are (and have a better understanding of what they aren’t), we can look at how to have clearer emotional signals, so that we don’t get them confused with other signals our bodies are giving us. I’ll go over these ideas and more in this video.There are a couple of challenges with these approaches to Mastering Your Emotions, one of them being the issues of the language of emotions, which seem insurmountable, until we discuss the Circumplex, which I’ll go over in much more in Part 6, over on my channel, @simonsbookclub.

How Emotions Are Made: Physiology vs Psychology Eatyourkimchi Studio 2023-01-19 | Here's another snippet from part 4 of my video series on Lisa Feldman Barrett's "How Emotions Are Made," which is a great book that discusses exactly how the brain and body create emotions. A lot of what we know about emotions are myths and junk science. Here are the ideas from one of the world's experts in the study of emotion and affect.In Part 4, over on my channel @SimonsBookClub, I talk about some of the problems with emotions, as we often confuse physiology with psychology, and telling the difference between the two might be tough. Check out the video here:☞ youtu.be/mmul9mBOxIMIn Part 3, I talked about the function of the brain, and how it regulates your Body Budget, and how that Body Budget directly impacts your emotions.

How Emotions Are Made: The Problem with Emotions Eatyourkimchi Studio 2023-01-17 | Here's a snippet from part 4 of my video series on Lisa Feldman Barrett's "How Emotions Are Made," which does a lot to show how a lot of what we think about emotions is wrong, based on some bad science. In Part 4, over on my channel @SimonsBookClub, I talk about some of the problems with emotions that emerge from imbalanced Body Budgets, and these are important challenges worth discussing.

How Emotions Are Made: The Body Budgeting System Eatyourkimchi Studio 2023-01-14 | In Part 3 of this video series, I'm going to talk about the Body Budgeting system, and how deeply it's tied in with our emotional experiences. We don't have emotions that aren't a direct reflection of our body budgets, and so, it would make sense, I think, if we want to understand ourselves and the emotions we're experiencing, to understand what this body budget is all about, and how it's creating our emotional experiences.In the next video, I'll be talking about some of the problems that arise with this new understanding of emotions, in connecting with our body budgets, and in paying attention to how our emotions are at the mercy of the state of our bodies. Check it out here!☞ youtu.be/mmul9mBOxIMIn the first two parts of the series, I worked on debunking some of the outdated myths and misconceptions about emotion, and laid out the Theory of Constructed Emotion. Check them out here if you missed them:☞ youtube.com/watch?v=Z_6WkCDrIAk&list=PLWQq9lbJ29_3Ayx9SEQQgwiACpMX3Mb8SIn Parts 5 and 6, we're going to take all of these ideas about interoception, body budgets, and how emotions are made, and work towards an understanding of how to master our emotions.

Snippet From How Emotions Are Learned Eatyourkimchi Studio 2023-01-12 | I started a video series on Lisa Feldman Barrett's "How Emotions Are Made," which does a lot to show how a lot of what we think about emotions is wrong, based on some bad science. One of the big misconceptions is about Universal Human Emotions, that everyone feels happy, or sad, or angry, or disgust, etc. Based on her decades of work on studying emotions, it turns out that there is no such thing as emotions that all humans feel. We all have the capacity to feel emotions, but every culture, every upbringing, every person, feels something different. I'll talk about this a lot more in the video on my new channel, @SimonsBookClub. And I'll be posting more videos on the subject of human emotion, on interoception, body budgets, emotional regulation, and much more.

Snippet from my new video: scientific myths about emotion #booktube #psychology #neuroscience Eatyourkimchi Studio 2023-01-07 | Heya everyone.Over the past couple of months, I’ve been working on a video series for a book that I find really special. The next book in this series of videos I want to table is “How Emotions Are Made” by Lisa Feldman Barrett. “All About Love” talked about how open and honest communication are a vital element of any loving relationship, and “Nonviolent Communication” showed us how we can’t connect with others compassionately and lovingly if we’re speaking to them with judgment, blame, shame, criticism, advice, or moralizing. To connect with others, we need to talk about our feelings. But WTF is a feeling anyway? How do we have feeling? Why do we have feelings? If we’re going to talk about them in our relationships with others, I think it’d be useful to understand what they are, first and foremost.Lisa Feldman Barrett is the world’s leading scientist when it comes to emotions and affect. She’s in the top 1% of cited scientists IN THE WORLD, and her book “How Emotions Are Made” is not only a super thorough examination of how our bodies make feelings, but it also is a very useful guide to undoing a lot of our misconceptions about feelings and emotions. We’ve got some outdated beliefs that need updating. I’m going to talk about that in my latest videos. Part 1 is on Eatyourkimchi, and Part 2 is on my new channel, @simonsbookclub.
How Emotions Are Made: The Theory of Constructed Emotion Eatyourkimchi Studio 2023-01-06 | Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be posting videos about one of the most important books I've read: How Emotions Are Made, by Lisa Feldman Barrett. She's among the top 1% of cited neuroscientists in the world, and her research on emotions and affect is huge. She's been challenging a lot of the mainstream science and beliefs about emotion, and her message is revolutionary, and very challenging to accept.I'm going to go over the Theory of Constructed Emotion, as opposed to the Classical idea of Essentialism. We'll be looking at some of the unhelpful metaphors of the past and present, and getting a deeper sense of the connection between the mind and the body, and hopefully come to a place where we can live more embodied than before.In this video, I'll briefly go over the myths of emotions that are fairly mainstream, and I'll introduce the Theory of Constructed Emotion. In Part 2, I'll talk about How Emotions Are Learned as children, and that's over on my new channel, @SimonsBookClub. Check out the video here:☞ youtu.be/ubV-j4BuPAcIn Part 3, we'll be looking at how emotions are constructed after we've learned the emotions, and we'll talk about the importance of the interoceptive network and emotion concepts. We'll end off with an examination of anxiety, and then move on to Part 4, where we'll look at some of the challenges we face with emotions, and how those challenges can be better tackled, if we use the framework of the Theory of Constructed Emotion.Here's the full playlist of videos so far:☞ youtube.com/watch?v=Z_6WkCDrIAk&list=PLWQq9lbJ29_3Ayx9SEQQgwiACpMX3Mb8SIf you're into these topics I'm covering, and want to watch Parts 3 and 4 sooner, please consider joining my Patreon.

Nonviolent Communication, Holding Space, and Unconditional Love Eatyourkimchi Studio 2022-11-11 | Here's a small section from the video I did on Nonviolent Communication, where I talk about violence in language, and how judgment and criticism gets in the way of compassion and growth. If this interests you, check out the full video:☞ youtu.be/J8yLEC6uhN8In part 2 of this video, I outline the four steps of the Nonviolent Communication process in more detail. Check it out!☞ "We can hold space for the people in our communities who are dealing with their own shit, who are probably the victims of one flavour of abuse or neglect or another, who have been fed some kind of programming and conditioning that, we know, isn’t necessarily kind or compassionate. But they’re still doing their best and trying to survive all this weird shit. If they’ve got ideas that don’t with yours, fuck, cut ‘em some slack. We don’t have to wait for perfect people to offer love. Everyone deserves it, unconditionally. And we don’t have to be perfect to receive love, either. You deserve it too, unconditionally."#nonviolentcommunication #love #communication
Nonviolent Communication - What is Violence? Eatyourkimchi Studio 2022-11-11 | Heya. I mentioned in my France road trip video about how violence affects me, and I think that message brought about some confusion. I also mentioned in my video on All About Love how I want compassion and love to be my big guiding framework for life, and I think that is really unlocked with nonviolent communication in mind. So today, I’m going to talk about Nonviolent Communication, what it is, and - namely - how it is that our language can be violent. I don’t think people realize how impactful their judgments, criticisms, and shame can be on others, and so I’d like to talk about that today, within the framework of Nonviolent Communication.I don't think people seriously consider how damaging their comments can be to others. The violence in people's language deeply impacts others, and doesn't just impact those who are considered "weak" or "not strong enough," “snowflakes” or "fragile." The language we use with others affects their emotions deeply, affects their body chemistries, and stays with them for years, to the point that some even internalize the message, and then cause violence to themselves. The things we say to others have long lasting impacts, and bigger impacts than we choose to acknowledge. It's not the receiver's fault for being impacted. I think it's time we look at the language we're using, if it's serving our goals, and if we're ethically and morally comfortable with the damage we're causing to others.9Compassion and kindness are always available to us. Please be kind. You'll be surprised how much good it can do.In Part 2 of this video series, on my channel @SimonsBookClub, I’ll be discussing how the Nonviolent Communication process works, and I’ll give examples on how violent statements can be translated into something more compassionate, and more likely to be connecting, mindful, and beneficial to all parties. Check out Part 2 here:☞ youtu.be/O_SNE_C2jK0I want to dedicate my time to spreading messages of love, compassion, empathy, mindfulness, presence, connection, and peace, and I plan to do so through sharing the messages of very impactful books.

A snippet from my new video, All About Love Eatyourkimchi Studio 2022-09-21 | Heya. I just published a new video for my book club about a book that’s really dear to my heart. I read Bell Hooks’s “all about love” a year and a half ago, at a time where I wasn’t at my best. All About Love gave me the inspiration I needed to start a new path. I took hook’s ideas seriously, and decided to dedicate my time to understanding love. Not just romantic love, but how could I love my friends better? How could I love my family better? My community? The strangers that I meet on the street. Living a life of love is a value that I hold dearly, a topic I talk about often with my friends. Ok that’s a lie. Often is an understatement. And when I’m not talking about it with my friends, I’m writing about it daily. And now, I want to start talking about it, and about all of the things I learned in “all about love”The video is on YouTube, in two parts. The first part is on Eatyourkimchi. In it, I’ll introduce the book, talk about what changes the book inspired in me, take on a new definition of love as suggested by hooks, and talk a bit about romanticism, possessiveness, and more. Part 2 of the video is on my new channel @SimonsBookClub. There, I’ll talk about how applied hooks’ definitions of love to family, children, and most of all, myself. Self-love to me was very confusing, because I mostly saw it manifested as people hyping themselves up, and that for me was a bit too difficult to for me to practice sincerely. I only really understood self-love, and actually felt it, when I started using hooks’ ideas.Also, I’ll talk a bit about polyamory, as this book has inspired me to be more open with my love. I hope some of these topics resonate with you. #love #allaboutlove #relationship
Simon Talks All About Love Eatyourkimchi Studio 2022-09-21 | Heya. Recently, I’ve been re-reading Bell Hooks’ “All About Love,” for the third time, and I really wanted to talk about it. This book was a huge comfort to me when I found it a couple of years ago, in my darkest moments, and has inspired a major change in how I lived my life from then on out. The way musicians throw themselves into their music, athletes throw themselves into their sport, how doctors spend years studying before they get into an office, I took up the new life direction of learning all about love, and making love my guiding ethos. All About Love provided me with an understanding of what love is, and also, very importantly, a huge understanding of what love ISN’T. I’ve taken this all with me now in my relationships with my friends, family, strangers, romantic partners, and - especially - myself. I’m going to talk all about it in this video.In Part 2 of the video on @SimonsBookClub I’m going to get more into how love guides me in my different understandings of relationships. I’ll talk briefly about my experience with polyamory, though I only scratch the surface here, and can get a lot more in depth about it - like I do with the people who ask me about polyamory - in another video. Check out Part 2 here:☞ youtu.be/3WdJ5UIePz8I mention the Discord in this video and the next. There’s a really nice community of people there who know how to hold space, who know how to communicate with non-violence.

Simon and Fudgy go on a road trip through France Eatyourkimchi Studio 2022-08-05 | Hi everyone. It’s been over two years since I posted a food and travel video, and - well - I finally made something. I really felt creative and inspired and happy in shooting and editing this video, and I feel stomach churning anxiety in publishing it now. Writing words to you, whoever is reading this, on Instagram and on YouTube, has been the scariest part of this whole creative process, and I hope that, if you’ve got your reasons for disliking me, and that you feel activated by my posting, that you refrain from violence in the comments, please. Let us speak with each other from a place of compassion and kindness, which we all deserve. I hope you like the video. I smiled a lot while making it, and it’s my wish that some of that happiness transfers over to you as well. Check out the video on YouTube - youtu.be/imCTSgsmoZQ
Simon and Fudgys Road Trip through France Eatyourkimchi Studio 2022-08-05 | Hi everyone. Simon here. Long time no see. I haven’t posted any food or travel content since I left Japan, and found myself in a weird space for a long time. But, hey, I finally made a food and travel video. I went to France recently, and got some fun footage of swimming with Fudgy in Lake Annecy, hiking with him in Montmin, and having some great French food with him as well, in Moulin du Gastronome, Clos de Sens, and a lovely guesthouse around Provence. I really enjoyed being creative again, and spent the last couple of weeks putting this video together, and I made something that I like that I wanted to share. I hope you like it too.Posting this video has been a very exciting, but also deeply anxious experience for me. I’m not sure how much I’ll engage with the comment section here, because I’m very uncomfortable with violence in communication, and I don’t feel very safe with what I’m expecting to read here. If you want to connect with me, with kindness and compassion and sincerity, then here’s the Discord I’ve been engaging with for a while now. It’s a nice community over there, and it’s a place where I feel safe. Please join if you’d like to connect. Please don’t come to harass or judge me, or to spoil it for other people there who also view it as a safe space.☞ discord.gg/dYSBUAF2wKI’ve got some scripts in the works for videos on my book club.

Who is the Dictator Within? Eatyourkimchi Studio 2022-01-06 | This is part 1 of 2 in my talk about Steven Hayes' "A Liberated Mind: How to Pivot Towards What Matters." In this video, I'm going to talk about how Hayes believes we form the voice in our heads. He explains it through Relational Frame Theory, which I think is really super freaking fascinating, and how this voice in our head started when we were 3 or 4 years old, and how everything in our lives has been added to that story of ourselves, which - eventually - ends up causing us a lot of suffering, anxiety, and depression. It's a neat theory, from a very neat book. All of the friends I got into it love it, and the book club discussion we had on it was pretty great as well. So, check it out, and if you're still interested, part 2 of the video will talk about how to overcome this voice in our heads, how to turn from psychological inflexibility towards flexibility, and how to live a life where our actions are in line with our values.Here's part 2:☞ youtu.be/cDU-vatnhGwIf you like this video, and want to support this project of mine, check out:☞ http://www.patreon.com/simonsbookclubIf you're interested in the book, you can pick it up here:☞ amzn.to/3JOsAPQ#RelationalFrameTheory #Act #AcceptanceCommitmentTherapy

Simons Side of the Story Eatyourkimchi Studio 2021-09-18 | TW: In this video, I address the issues around Meemers, Hawaii, and Narcissism.Additionally, I forgot to talk about my deleting of comments and blocking of people in the video, so let me address it here. As I mentioned in the video, I want to maintain my privacy. This means I don’t want matters that I didn’t openly discuss online to be shared by others, or discussed in the comments. Private information was shared without my consent. When this happens I feel invaded and unsafe. So I deleted comments that raised those points, and I blocked commenters who persisted in discussing them in my posts. Yes, I was deleting and banning, before I learned about the Hidden Words tab in Instagram’s Privacy section, where I set up auto-moderation to filter the comments on Instagram. Since Martina continually removed those filters, deleted the word list, and has been discussing my private matters openly on her social media channels, I see that my hope for privacy in this matter is no longer possible, and so I am addressing Hawaii. I’m sorry for those that I hurt in my attempts to maintain some privacy. I can see that I deeply hurt many members of the community, and I am truly saddened by that. Some of the commenters that I knew best felt betrayed, and I’m deeply sorry to have alienated them. I am working on improving where I direct my attention online. I want to continue to share online, and maintain some boundaries. I’ve had viewers triangulate my home address in Japan based on the landmarks in pictures I posted online, been followed by fans in taxis, and my cohost has been doxxed. I really only feel comfortable posting pictures about my dogs lately because I feel so anxious on camera and in public as well. I would appreciate my privacy to be respected, and the body shaming and the death threats to stop. The safer everyone feels here, the sooner we can get back to more playful, lighthearted videos. I love it when people relate to the content personally or with curiosity. I like to know where people are from, and have always enjoyed engaging with long term members of the community.To the commenters that are upset that I called some of the community toxic, I’m sorry if you thought I was referring to you. For the most part, you’re probably not the toxic commenters I referred to; I’m pretty sure you’ve seen them in the comments though. As I work to improve my perspective and shine light on more of the positive around me, like my puppies, I thank those members of the community who have been most supportive.I’m very confused about people who are upset that I still post on my Instagram account. At the start of our divorce, while I was very emotional I did not post online, and I had no issue with Martina posting on our shared Instagram. I’ve never asked her to stop, or in any way have I disinvited her from posting on Eat Your Kimchi. She said she wasn’t going to post there, and continues to do so, and I’ve noticed commenters being confused about this as well. I would just like to move forward and continue sharing the channel as we agreed upon. Minus the harassment. There is space for everyone and their dogs. Cats too.

Fudgy’s One Year Time-lapse: plus, new doggies! Eatyourkimchi Studio 2021-06-17 | Hey everyone. It’s been a while since I posted here. It's Fudgy's birthday today! He is now one year old, and I’ve been working on this time-lapse of him for a while now. I think he’s full grown now, so I can finally share it. I’ll also talk about a couple of things I did with Fudgy during his puppyhood, and I’ll introduce you to Roxy and Petra, the new dogs in my life. Petra has VERY NICE PAWS.Also, I wanted to share the new project I’m working on, called A Life With Friends. It’s a podcast I’m cohosting. We’re talking about mindfulness and meditation, and using that as our lens when we discuss topics like compassion, therapy, boundaries (which some of y’all need to learn about), connecting with nature, and ending relationships, amongst other topics. We’re trying to make it a bit different than what I’m used to hearing in podcasts: this isn’t us talking to each other and talking to you - the viewer - which I found kind of a weird dynamic. Instead, we’re trying to talk with each other naturally, and to see what comes out of approaching these topics without being showy. Does that make sense? Give it a listen and let me know what you think.Check out A Life With FriendsOn Patreon: ☞ patreon.com/alifewithfriendsOn Spotify: ☞ open.spotify.com/show/1TmToPJDhb13tyG2trkcXtOn Instagram: ☞ http://www.instagram.com/wearewithfriendsOn YouTube: ☞ youtube.com/channel/UCYoLhDMIJg8kWexwq4SrXng☞ Channel Membership 🌈 Join the RLST (Rainbow Ladder Support Team) for your ladder badge, access to Discord, special chat stickers, and more:☞ youtube.com/simonandmartina/join

Coping with Depression and Chronic Pain with Build A Ladder Eatyourkimchi Studio 2020-12-31 | If you're interested in following my new upcoming life adventures, I have started my own YouTube channel. Hope to see you in the comment section overs at youtube.com/c/KingKogiIf you'd like to check out my new shop, it's kingkogi.ca and I've just started selling my newest designs. Drawing, doodling, making videos, making music, all these things give me a positive place to focus my mind. Oh and check out: King.Kogi for my private instagram 🐷👑 ------This is not a depressing video. In fact, it's the opposite. Before we welcome in 2021, I wanted to put up a positive video about coping with feeling low and being depressed using Build A Ladder as a coping method. I realized I never actually took the time to make a FULL video discussing this, so I wanted to show you what I've been doing as of late to add rungs to my ladder.A few years ago I put up a video discussing how I cope with depression. It was a shocking video for those of you that see me as only a "happy" person, but many people are able to be happy while also fighting and struggling with sad thoughts and feelings. Despite struggling with dark thoughts and an overall depletion of happy brain juice (due to my chronic illness, I was born with Type 3 Hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndromes) I do consider myself a pretty positive person! However, positive doesn't = always being happy. To me, it means being able to look at the world through a some what happy lens despite the struggles life deals to you. It isn't a FAKE happy where you pretend to be "ok" but it is an attitude of "no giving up" on life, I'm going to TRY and be happy! Things don't have to be going well for you to appreciate a sunset or the food in your mouth. But I believe that keeping "positive" is a skill we all have to work on. I didn't go into detail about this in the video, but every single morning I wake up to an ocean of body pain. Everything hurts, and the adrenaline and chemicals coursing through my body effect my brain and my attitude. My brain tells me on the daily to GO BACK TO BED to GIVE UP. But I use Build A Ladder as a method of coping with this negativity.Lots of love to the B.A.L Tanuki SQUAD, your posts on Discord, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and the World Wide Web help inspire me to continue to find reasons and methods for building my own ladder.
Life is Like a Box Of Donuts Eatyourkimchi Studio 2020-11-17 | Martina's channel: youtube.com/c/KingKogiDONUT judge me when you hear our bad singing, but my BFF Jackie was back in town, so we drove on over to Tim Hortons to eat and review the most popular donuts. And yes, car karaoke is a sacred, hole-y act that must occur when hanging with friends.Tim Hortons: many of you are going....WTF is that? Good ol' Timmie Ho Ho's is the Canadian go-to coffee/donut/breakfast/sandwich shop.

Easy Sweet or Savoury Crepe Recipe - Martinas Midnight Munchies Eatyourkimchi Studio 2020-10-24 | Making crepes is a comfort food that I've been practicing since I was in high school. Being 50% Croatian, crepes known as palačinke (pah-lah-CHEEN-keh) have been a normal non-threatening snack I'm used to making. You don't need anything fancy, just a non-stick pan and some wrist-swirling practice. Give it a shot! Even if they end up looking wonky or end up a little think...they still TASTE delicious! Have fun~ xoxo MartinaEasy Crepe Recipe (from Alton Brown)2 large eggs3/4 cup milk1/2 cup water3 tablespoons melted butter1 cup flourOil for brushing the pan1. Add all the wet ingredients (except the melted butter) to a blender and pulse one or two times. Add the melted butter and pulse once more.2. Add the flour by heaping spoonful so it doesn't lump and blend for 8-10 seconds. Don't overdo the blending or the crepes will be rubbery. It's okay if there are a few little lumps in the batter, resist the urge to keep blending or whisking the sh*t out of that batter.4. Put the batter in the fridge to come together. 30 minute minimum. If you rest it overnight and it seems reeeally thick, you can add a touch of water and whisk to thin it out.5. Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium-medium hot. Be prepared to brush with oil between each crepe. HOT TIP: Drop a little tester batter onto the oiled pan and if it burns or puffs up into a rippled looking tent shape the pan is way too hot.6. Oil the pan, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the centre of the pan while swirling the pan to spread the batter out into a thin circle. If it is a weird shape...that's okay :) HOT TIP: If the batter slides and crumples up into the corners of your pan while swirling, you added too much oil to the pan.7. Once the batter stops moving, it is cooking. You have to wait about 45 seconds and the edges will start to peel and look crispy. You can lift the edges with your spatula and peek underneath the crepe to see if it looks super pale or if it's a light golden. Golden = you're golden to flip!8. Flip DAT SH*T!~ Oh yeah. You pro. As it cooks on the other side you can add toppings if you want them to melt. I like my cheese melty and my sugar all melty too, but you can make a stack of crepes and just build them later.Cook that crepe for another 30-45 seconds and once it is golden on both sides you're done!HOT TIPS: Doing all sweet crepes? Consider adding a 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract or a smaaall squirt of honey/agave to the batter. Savoury crepes? 1/4 tsp of salt or dried herb of your choice, rosemary is very nice.----• ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ 👑 www.kingkogi.ca 🐷 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆You can find Martina:puttering on her Instagram @ king.kogiposting personal projects to her Youtube page @King Kogi and live-streaming on TwitchKing Kogi YouTube: King KogiKing Kogi Livestreams on Twitch - King Kogi • ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆
What Happened to Simon? Eatyourkimchi Studio 2020-10-14 | I’ve taken a few months off of being on camera. I’ve seen many comments from people asking what happened to me, and I understand. I kinda left without any word. I’m sorry for that. Let me tell you what’s been going on in my life. For those of you that are frustrated by my lack of responding to other burning questions that you might have, please don’t let that frustration turn into anger towards me. It’s not that I’m not addressing speculations out of a disrespect towards you. If that’s your first guess, I’m telling you it’s the wrong guess: there are other reasons. There are some parts of my private life that I just don’t feel comfortable talking about yet. I made this video because I did see that many were concerned about me. I wanted to make this video for them. And I wanted to just let people know that, even though this is a VERY huge transition in my life, I’m actually doing well in the face of it. I am doing better than I thought I would. I hope that’s the message people can walk away with, and not let their frustration out of curiosity taint that message. I’ll talk about other parts of my life only when I’m comfortable talking about them, and not a second before that, even under a deluge of pressure from others. I’m asking you: please be kind.Subscribe for more videos:☞ http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=simonandmartinaLike what we’re doing and want to show your support? 🌈 Join the Rainbow Ladder Support Team!☞ youtube.com/simonandmartina/join☞instagram.com/eatyourkimchiBABY WHEN YOU MOVE YOUR BODAY!

J-Town - Torontos Japanese Mall + Curry with Miki Eatyourkimchi Studio 2020-09-20 | Martina's channel: youtube.com/c/KingKogiIn the hunt for Japanese ingredients, my very good friend Miki takes me to J-Town, a Japanese shopping centre in Markham in the GTA. We share some silly stories from growing up together (I was always obsessed with video making apparently haha) and she makes me some delicious Japanese curry and cream corn croquettes. I hope you all enjoy this video, it made me smile the whole time. OH! I threw in a wee little behind the scenes 2 Minute Tutorial on audio syncing your mic to the camera audio :D (skip to it at 10:07)Miki, for those of you that don't know, is my next door neighbour. We grew up together since we were 3 years old and her family introduced me to Japanese culture. I ate Japanese food for breakfast and as afterschool snacks, her dad taught me how to use chopsticks and how to properly make green tea, and I fell in love with onigiri at a young age. Miki's mom would make me a plate full of bite sized onigiri on my b-day. She's a lovely friend and I'm lucky to have met such a great person at such a young age :)-------J-Town is located at: 3160 Steeles Ave E, Markham, ON L3R 4G9-----• ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ 👑 www.kingkogi.ca 🐷 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆You can find Martina:puttering on her Instagram @ king.kogi *:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆
