im starting to romanticize my life again | october vlog
updated
i used to feel like if i didn't have something exciting happening in my life (like an upcoming trip or romantic interest) than life was boring. periods of stillness where i was forced to look within felt uncomfortable. we're kinda programmed to always be doing things that we can find ourselves in situations that don't actually serve us. in this video, i share some mindset shifts & practices that have helped me learn how to enjoy being at peace in life, enjoy being single, & attract healthier relationships/opportunities/etc.

a lot of us have been programmed to believe that once we reach certain markers of success that we will be happy. however, after achieving a lot of my goals in my early 20s, i've learned that the chase for success is never ending. shifting my mindset to enjoy the journey rather than chasing specific outcomes has made me 10x happier & able to handle whatever curveballs life throws my way as i work on building my dream life.

when people ask me what my goals are, i feel like i have 10 different answers depending on the day & my mood. there are so many versions of myself that i want to explore in the lifetime, & i eventually realized that i do not have to limit myself to one. for the past year, i've been on a journey of starting over multiple times until i found a life i liked. in this video, i share how to disattach from your old life, embrace change, & start over without fear of the outcome.

celebrity culture in america is changing. we used to idolize those with power, money, & fame because we felt that to some degree, if people who look like us are winning, then we were winning too. now, as we enter the later stages of capitalism & world issues are coming to light, we are beginning to see that many of our false idols do not have the same interests as us.

this past month has been.... join me as i catch y'all up on what's been going on, force myself to get off social media, & pour back into me. which meant giving myself a week to do nothing but order takeout & watch anime while I work on getting my a** back in the gym lol. navigating these times are not going to be a linear journey, but the goal this week was allowing myself to sit in my feelings, practice non-duality, & finding gratitude in each moment, good or bad

The dystopian societies that we've read about & watched in movies growing up are real. As we move deeper into late stage capitalism, this becomes more clear. We currently live in a dystopia, where most of us are required to suppress our humanity in order to remain productive. In this video, I chat about what that looks like & how we can escape it.
I think the #1 thing you can do to contribute to a better world is to stay informed on things happening within it & don't be afraid to FEEL. If anyone or your job invalidates what you are feeling, call them out, voice your needs, & don't be afraid to walk away. Many people are already start to do this. If we all do this, we can contribute to a society that does not normalize suppressing emotion & looking away from issues that impact all of us.
other ways you can help the people in Palestine right now:
- continue b0yc0tting brands that support genocide: st@rbucks, mcd0nald's, & d!sney
- follow ppl on the ground sharing what is going on - instagram.com/eye.on.palestine
- attend pr0tests in your city - instagram.com/palestinianyouthmovement

with so much sadness & anger happening amidst this genocide, i can't help but feel like this is apart of the bigger shift that happening in the world right now. for many, there is a bigger realization of the failures of our system, the manipulation of older generations by the media, & the ways in which our anger can be channeled into change.
this video is to remind you that knowledge is power. instead of using social media as a distraction, use it to stay informed, empowered, connect with like minded people, & find out ways you can make an impact in moments when people are calling out for help. ways you can help the people in Palestine right now:
- continue boycotting: starbucks, mcdonald's, & disney
- follow ppl on the ground sharing what is going on - instagram.com/Eye.On.Palestine

the consciousness of the world is shifting. for the first time in history, we are witnessing a genocide through the lens of those experiencing it. so many of us live on social media. now is not the time to pretend like world issues aren't happening. it's the time to use our collective power & awareness to call for an end to what's happening. free Palestine.

i'm in a season of my life right now where i'm mainly focused on me. my health, my fitness goals, doing what i love & falling in love with myself. it's a lonely & sometimes depressing season to be in, but i'm learning that it's also a beautiful one. for many of us feeling this shift in the collective consciousness happening, we may feel called to focus on healing ourselves before we try to worry about others right now. or maybe you're starting a new chapter in your life & the external world is shifting for you as well. no matter what season you're in in your life, being present & honoring where your at will invite in so much more light & love through this journey.

we're finally back with the vlogs & i'm so happy because i missed these! join me for a super chatty appointment/adulting/friends day in austin. this was my first time back in austin since living here & it felt super weird & nostalgic & idk...this was back during all of the retrogrades & also during the full moon so i think i was just a tad bit overwhelmed by how quickly life is moving & the fact that i'm not a kid anymore but also determined to remain positive & enjoy each step of the journey.

we're somewhat conditioned in today's society to not love ourselves fully. many of us don't believe that we deserve the best of the best, so we settle for sub par in different areas of our lives, which in turn tells our subconscious mind that we don't deserve better. in this video, I share the 3 foundational areas you can focus on raising your standards in to rewire your brain & show your subconscious mind that you do love yourself & deserve the reality you want.

there's a shift happening in the collective consciousness...people aren't satisfied with the standard desk job anymore, women are waking up to what they want out of their love lives, many young people are buried in student loan debt that they regret getting into, & on top of all of this the economy is a mess. we are being shown more & more quickly what we don't want & what s no longer working for us. in this video i talk about what change is required for us to upgrade our reality & get what we do want out of life.

hotel link: go.magik.ly/ml/1vah4
i sold everything & left america with no real plans on what i'd be doing besides traveling as much as possible. after landing in thailand, i ended up traveling to 9 different cities & staying in 14 different hotels in the span of 30 days for no other reason besides the fact that i felt like i was on a time limit. safe to say that after a month of non stop travel, i reached burn out. i filmed this video like a month ago, & remember how exhausted i felt. i realized that if i want to live out my dream of seeing the world, i would need to slow down my pace & be more present in the places i'm visiting.

on this journey of evolving & trying to become your best self, it is so easy to be mad at yourself when you are not living up to your fullest potential. but i can tell you from personal experience that beating yourself up when you are falling short in certain areas of your gets you no where. instead of approaching discipline & self improvement from a fear-based frequency, we have to first decide that we love ourselves unconditionally if we want to alchemize negative emotions & create real change in our life. i hope this video can help you with this crucial step.
