An Overthinking Week in my Life at Uni 🌞 

You have no idea how much I LOVE uploading frequently again! 🥰 I've missed this corner of the internet!! I hope you all have an incredible day. Sending you big hugs 💌

THE COLOR SCHEME OF THE VIDEO, I... **chefs kiss**

Hey! If possible, could you make a video telling us about the financial aspect of attending Minerva? Like using different currencies, being able to afford living in these cities, day to day expenses etc. Love from India 💖

We live for a consistent Queen 👑 🙌🙌

3 Jade uploads in the space of a week? Heck yes my girl

also as a fellow sensitive overthinker, what has helped me regain positive thoughts about the world in the midst of all this negativity is through nature ! i know it might sound too simple as it is, but it really just recharges me with fresh thoughts. i also love how you pointed out awareness is the first step of action, and i think your action of sharing this video with the public inspires so many other people to move forward ! thank you so much for sharing jade :))

10:15 I can relate to this sooo much. I think what helps me is to change my perspective. Helping with social issues because helping is just the most amazing feeling. Being grateful for what you CAN do and learning to accept that somethings are out of your control. (Easier to say then to do)

I want to grow out my armpit hair but I always end up chickening out. Seeing you do it I've decided to finally go for it, thank you.

Just what I need to brighten up a rainy Saturday in England!☔️ thanks Jade 🥰

I start my day with a video of Jade: my day will be beautiful!

jade you genuinely make me so happy it’s crazy

Such an aesthetic intro wow

I’m so proud of you, how your channel is growing and how you are literally glowing more each and every day. Thank you for being a ray of sunshine ☀️

Omg!!! I'm soo happy that jade is posting constantly 💓

Every second of your videos, your Instagram stories or just a line from this videos description is casual magic of my day! 💕

You are such an authentic person 💐🌈

You're such a ray of sunshine Jade!! I've also been growing out my armpit hair and people like you remind that it's okay! and not weird :) thanks for always making me see the positive side of life

your videos are aways so beautiful and calming, yet make me think about the world and how to better myself. Thank you, Jade

Hi Jade!!!!! I am Korean and I graduated from University of Manchester and watched your videos which showed how you studied A level !! And you are in Korea now!!!! Time so flies :) I hope you had a great time in Korea !!!

Not been in the best mental state lately and watching your videos really helps me realise and remind that we have to constantly make an effort to maintain our mental health and physical health. It's always about the Journey. Your words are magical, Jade 💕✨

Girl it was not rambling ! Sometimes we all just need a wake up call once in a while

The world can be so lucky to have someone like you ❤️

When the world starts to feel overwhelming is exactly the time we need to, for lack of a better fitting statement, “count our blessings.” Whether it is something small, like the ability to have food that has nourished us that day, to something much bigger like being in a position to donate to a cause. It is easy to want to “fix” the world but a lot harder to just give back and be satisfied we did. No one and nothing will make the world “ideal,” whatever that means, but each individual just doing one small thing that didn’t do the day before towards making it a “better” place adds up. Even if you can’t do something everyday that you think counts - just being there for someone else can make the world different and you do that every day for yourself and for those you are there with too. Example: The couple who are always happy to see you who sell those sweet treats you like. Your presence makes them smile and when you buy their goods, you “improved” their outcome just a little bit more. As you point out, there is “casual magic” all around you, but your place and your actions just day-to-day also cause casual, slow but ever moving change in it as well. Don’t overwhelm yourself with: How can we “fix” this or “fix” that and instead focus on, what did I do today that made a difference, however small or large? PS - At one point Ariadne stood up and (while you were on the grass) said, “Jade doesn’t have a face now. That’s creepy.” 😂 Your shades and mask made it appear your face was gone. 😂

jade...every single thing you said is exactly what i’ve been feeling and overthinking about too. it’s really refreshing to see you tackle life with optimism and a smile! love you jade!💗

Honestly, as an empath, I feel the exact same way you do. Somethings I've done to help is deleting social media and consciously checking the news less, and balancing when I do check the news with a walk in nature so that as I'm listening to horrible things I can see the trees and the grass and birds and animals and realize that the horrible thing isn't everything. It might sound counter-intuitive to check those things less because we obviously want to be aware and informed, but I've come to realize that I trust that I know these issues. I trust that I know enough to make changes in my day to day life, and anything more that I know will just leave me feeling helpless and won't help anyone. Also, I trust that if there is a big enough piece of news, or something that I have to know, it will make its way to me. There's a balance that I have to find between being informed enough to where I make informed decisions and feel like I can help, but not being too informed to where it just makes me sad. When I first started doing this I felt a lot of guilt because I was kind of ignoring certain things that I felt shouldn't be ignored, but it has to be done. I can't help the world in the ways that I want to if I pay attention to every little thing, and I believe that as humans we're a team, and I'm not acting as a team player if I need all the information. Someone else will get the information that I missed and use it to change their actions in their life, whereas if I got it it would just make me sad. I hope that makes sense, and I hope you figure out how to balance everything Jade. You got this, and it's a beautiful thing that you care so much and want to help, and we can change the world and be happy while doing it. PS I was in the 30 day challenge and was on the zoom call and was the one that wanted to take a gap year but couldn't because of covid and had no idea what to do next. Well, an update on that, I'm doing a 9 month immersion program in France starting in September that gets you ready to go to school there! I'm so excited, and everything really did figure itself out. Also, I still journal and meditate every morning, we love building habits!!

We were blessed with another beautifully edited video? THANK YOU

me and my armpit hair love each other 😃 and for the world cruelty , since there isnt much i can do about it , i think trying to get people around me to be a little bit better of a human being each day and trying to be better of a human myself can do something not big things but something at least (i hope)🙃cuz you know! this is us whom make this world with all the good and bad beautiful and ugly in it 🥲

That last bit about the heaviness with the waves in the background resignated so much with me. ♡ I always feel heavy and helpless and I don't know how to deal with it. So I push it away, don't take action, feel bad.

Your videos are like one big warm hug

So grateful for your thoughts you put out in your videos. Also have to say that I always watch your videos to the end because of the music which sort of wraps up the video, somehow in my mind it just lifts my mood and I love it. Thank you, Jade.

You have so much energy. I don't know how easy you trying to do it every day something new. Maybe you were born a more positive person than another. Since the covid, there are a lot of social issues and people get anxiety and worry about the future, etc. When I don't have a productive life of the day, I really hate myself. I am still looking for an exit. By the way, I like your lovely smile and sharing your life. From NY.

Hi Jade! I loved that bit at the end about processing all of the bad news and being unable to take action to change everything. It’s been so difficult for me also, I felt very validated when you addressed it 💙

My strategy to feeling overwhelmed and heavy by the news is to not read it - which I hate a little but I also figure if there is an issue that I have power to deal with, it will be brought to my attention. I still know what goes on from my other friends who are less empathetic and keep up to date but for now that’s my solution. I think you can teach yourself to not have an emotional reaction but ultimately that’s not something I want to do. I feel your pain Jade ❤️

thank you for this, very unexpected, study break that i needed so much because I'm burning out due to exams approaching, intense studying !!! thank you for reminding me to take care of my mental health. Have a good day Jade! :)

Lovely video, thanks Jade

Love that you still wear shirts from your Motivated collection! Me too 💖

As a fellow empath, I find I need to shut off the news/switch off social media sometimes to distance myself and stop from feeling overwhelmed. This isn't because I don't care, but more because if I don't take care of my mental health then I can't be productive and react productively, if that makes sense. We need to take care of ourselves so that we can 'fight' these injustices in different ways.

I just finished watching the vlog and falling in love with Korea

Ahhhh I don't live in Seoul, but I live in South Korea! It'd be great if I could meet you some time! Also I hope you're enjoying your time in South Korea, and that you would get many good memories here- although there must be so much work for you to do😂

so spoiled with that many uploads! 🥰

Love from India 🤗💜🌺

One recommendation on using emotions strategically: Audre Lorde "The Uses of Anger: Women Responding to Racism" from 1981. So powerful!

맞아요!! 제이드!!!! 제이드 짱 조아요..♥ Exactly. Jade.. I 100% understand where you are coming from. I thought changing the world would be really easy but as time goes on and as I study and work, I've been seeing and understanding people including myself. It's really complex. I definitely don't have as much hope as I did when I was a kid. But I try not to lose and give up on the world and INTENTIONALLY hope, which I get from motivating myself by watching your videos, and watching positive stories on the news. There is so much cruel news but at the same time you might have felt that people are becoming more interested in meditation and yoga in order to look after themselves. Since the world seems like hell. And we should not lose hope!! No!! Even though negative news falls down on us we can definitely make the world a better place. And for me you are the one of the best signs of hope, for me and other your subscribers as well. One day I will be a youtube star like you and wanna have a fan who is energized by me the way you are to me. Thanks for being.

You curls look so beautiful when you were showing us Itaewon.

U seem so happy that u are excited to share them with us! Makes me feel like I should visit the place too

ohh my god I was literally watching our hometown in Korea video

A very relatable title

Jade you are the best, best wishes❤

I love your vlogs! And I love how you talk about really important issues such as social justice abs climate change. I’ve recently become a Climate Advocate at my university. Your videos are super interesting! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

That was amazing i really was in need to reminde my self about those things Thanks jade we love you ❤

I just wanna say I SEE all the experiments with text!! Love them

I love you and your mind!

waaaaait three videos in a week? YAAYYYY

your Eevee laptop sticker is so cuuuute

i'm a little late to the comments but your empath speech at the end really resonated with me - i frequently get so angry with the way the world is (i'm autistic, so i really struggle to understand the motivations behind why world leaders make such decisions! as a result i can be painfully naive) to the point where i honestly don't watch the news anymore and i limit my social media usage quite a lot (i might hop on instagram for a few minutes and watch my friends' stories but that's about it). if you manage to figure out any coping strategies i'd love to hear them. much love from australia

This title is a great summary of my week 🙃😭 Loved the video, so happy to see another upload 😍

2 videos I am blessed

JADE YOU SHOULD WATCH ANNE WITH AN E!!

I found that limiting the amount of media you consume has helped me alot with the feeling of overwhelm. As a man I'll never understand what women go through especially as it's much much more as I do. However what I say might sound cruel bit I'd rather give my 100% care to a couple issues than spread myself thin on every worldly issue because in the end of the day you simply can't care about everything.

She’s uploading again!!

One of my fav videos.

What do you listen to during yoga and meditation

I really love all your video's! I recently got into notion and was wondering if you could do an updated notion tour? Because I think you've grown so much (overall and in notion) and I'm wondering where you are now in that area, lots of love from Belgium! x

Jade will you come to India next????? Yaaayaa

I love the be.t u r wearing on ur jeans where did u get it

Hey jade, beautiful video! Just wondering, is it mandatory to wear a mask everywhere in Korea? Like even if you’re all by yourself/ the same household?

THE EDITING OMG

I recently realised that I tend to always take with me a jacket when I go out at night and wear something more “revealing “ like just in case to feel safer but I live in fucking greece and there’s 30 degrees out

favourite youtube channel!

can we have a chat about journaling & mediation tips !! 🍵

This is a stupid question but does anyone know what kind of mask jade is wearing is called(the white one that covers the chin and fully covers her face) or where I can buy one i hate these blue ones!!

This was well done 👍

Jade do be spoiling us lol!

You always seem to have a huge workload! How do you manage to enjoy the country and enjoy some free time?

wow so good love it

You are such a cool and beautiful and fun person!

Luxury ✨.. make the most out of this time in Korea. The culture us rich ❤️

Well, personally I limit the amount of time I spend reading the news. I still make an effort to stay up to date with current events but there is often so much going on in the world that trying to take on everything can be a bit draining. I would also really recommend the book Factfullness to you or anyone who struggles with this. It does a really good job at showing you that the real world statistics are not as bad as media and the news make them out to be. It is not that they are good, it's just that things like the percentage of women getting an education and the amount of countries pulling themselves out of poverty is increasing while crime are decreasing. So things are generally getting better. It's definitely not saying that there are not still injustices going on in the world, but it does emphasize that humans have an implicit negativity bias and the new profits off of this. There are many uninteresting good things that happen everyday but you don't hear about them as much because "good" news doesn't sell as much as "bad" news does, and the people who do market research know this. There is still a lot to be said for educating yourself, but try not to take the burden on as a whole and focus on the little things you can do in your daily life that make the world better. Ohh and I am a uni student as well studying Sustainable Energy Systems with a focus in Environmental science, so I know all about feeling helpless in the grand scheme of things... but I also know that its much better to have hope than to cave to all of the negativity and wallow in self pity doing nothing.

perfect

Jade where are you going the next semester?

I have to take breaks sometimes from the news and I let myself. I can’t make an impact if I’m an emotional wreck. You have to put on your own oxygen mask before helping others, you know?

try tortoise news jade! 🐢 that helps me xo

Hey jade loving the content, just wondering, which over the ear Bluetooth headphones do you use and are they noise cancelling?

Hey even I have started making vlogs

Future video on your tech and filming equipment and software in the summer 2021? just a thought. Thanks!

are there any podcasts you reccomend?

Are the yellow post notes on the back of the door in your room uplifting words of wisdom? or just to do list ? or a decor inspired by Kdramas where postnotes are all kinds of colors but u guys just happened to have yellow?

😍

Hi, fellow sensitive human being.🍡🍜🥑 1. I paint - even through I'm Just a comp sci student with just a little artistic skill. 2. Objectively, the world improves when you compare overall quality of life. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 (where basic women rights when it comes to abortion have been just distoyed)

3 × Woche schön 👍

Read Factfulness by Hans Rosling

maybe reposting is also taking action (especially with an audience like yours!) ? :) or donating money to organisations doing stuff

❤❤❤❤

orange sunset.... because air pollution;;ㅜㅜ BUT beautifull!^^; Be careful your health. 잘 보고가요.

Lovely 💖 mam 🇮🇳

Me: *reads the word overthinking* yes, I feel seen

Jade your camera skills what! It's improved so much I love it you should be so proud

i LOVE that clip of you three sitting in front of the projection of waves

I'm IN LOVE. So excited you're thriving and growing and educating yourself and others. Growth is beautiful and your ability to take time and contemplate difficult and complex issues is so important in finding different ways to navigate and shape the world to include those who feel as if they have no voice at all. Once again, very proud of the person you're growing into :)

The video choice when you were talking about 'heavy topics' was *mwah * btw! The waves crashing over the three of you and you just sitting still taking it all in - very symbolic :)
