I resonate alot with your insights into finding our "place" in this "world".... and overcoming societal expectations and benchmarks.... I have always been drawn to the road less traveled ... as an environmental outdoor educator .... director of ed for a great lakes schooner .... now a special ed teacher.... but feeling the need to become a writer to get my ideas of a new model for schools and communities. I have been discover inspiration and comfort in myers-briggs personality videos on youtube... I'm definitely an infp personality type. You seem to definitely be a kindred infp spirit.
hey! I just discovered your channel and wanted to say I'm loving these videos. I resonated with a lot of what you're talking about here, and I just appreciate the chill, intelligent discussion.
so lovely! I baked a lot as a kid but haven’t much lately, but I made a cake a few weeks ago and felt all those things you’re talking about. maybe I’ll make another one today. thanks for putting this together :)
Thank you for this. Truly. ❤ It put in mind the line from the animated Hunchback of Notre Dame movie, where Laverne tells Quasimodo "If watching is all you're gonna do, then you're gonna watch your life go by without you." Watching this video of yours had me remember how much being productivity-oriented had me feeling like I was always stuck on the outside of my own life. It wasn't me living for me, it was me living for productivity. Your words reminded me of how I feel every time I get to truly put myself wholly into being alive, and not watching how it all goes from the sidelines, just because I need to be up-and-at-'em! for the next task demanded of me. Thank you. ✨ This was exactly what I needed to remember that I need to be present for myself too.
That's so funny, I was *just* thinking about that movie yesterday! And that's such a great way of putting it: "stuck on the outside of my own life." Oh wow, do I feel that! It's so true - productivity starts to feel like it isn't about us at all! It's just like being on this mindless track designed by others. Love all of this - thank you so much for sharing! 🌞
The workbook I'm doing in the video is a mid-year check-in by Susannah Conway called Unravel Your Year. It's SO good. You can get it here for free: www.susannahconway.com/mid-year-workbook-2024
