GIRL! I've been feeling so heavy this mercury retrograde. My inner child has literally been screaming and feeling abandoned. I've also felt the same about feeling bad about not being as productive as I'm used to. I'm so happy we are almost done with this retrograde. I love that you did get your phone back!👏
You’re definitely not alone on this one. I’m so ready for this retrograde to be over! Having a breakdown of life and mental health can help with big breakthroughs tho!
Finally someone that understands!! My family and friends always get on my ass for doing things that are “unsafe”, i.e taking night walks, meeting up with strangers etc. It’s comforting to hear that there’s other people that also believes in the humanity of other people while also acknowledging the fact that yes something bad can happen. I believe that when you’re connected to yourself, your spirt will tell you whether or not if a situation you’re about to approach is safe or not. So many topics you shared in this video that I resonated with. Thanks for sharing 🌙✨
this retrograde has definitely been some sh*t and i just wanna thank you lynette for being vulnerable with us about what you’ve been dealing with, as i was watching this it literally felt like you were reading my mind the entire time because i’ve really been going through it this month 😭 this video was much needed🤍 we’re gonna get through this!
This was a much needed video. I’m experiencing the same thing but I’ve been motivated by your channel growth. I started following you last May when you quit your job. You’ve really inspired me to keep going and that we can have anything we want in life. Please know you’re inspiring your audience regardless of what you’re doing in your videos.
Every person I’ve spoken to in my life has been having a really rough month. It is so mind blowing how everyone is experiencing the same thing. We are all connect ❤
@@CozyReads It’s crazy because I felt so alone. It’s been helpful seeing others going through the same thing just in a different way. I’m for sure ready for whatever blessing this retrograde was preparing us for. 🤞🏾
i literally get so happy every time you upload, you're literally one of my favorite youtubers ever because of your authenticity and genuineness. you are literally so relatable sis. also i love that you're including your friends in your vlogs more recently! ily!
This retrograde has definitely been intense. I’ve had so many triggers come up and it’s been really exhausting particularly around the full moon. Everyone has been feeling it too, everyone I have spoken to has been feeling this retrograde. It’s been tough!! We’re nearly out though. And you are fab Lynette you deserve every bit of that soft life you have created you worked so hard to get to that point!! I admire you so much and you have inspired much of my journey ❤ all the love
Ya are my people. I recently moved to Boston with my best friend, and it has been rough being away from family. I am also the first in my family to make this bold move, and figuring out life as a first-gen is ROUGH. I cried for like two hours yesterday, but I needed all of it to come out. I am sending ya love and strength. We will come out of this funk SHINNING
Heavy on the “Have I been depressed for a while and just didn’t realize it!” 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ That’s where I am! The answer for me is, yes! Now that I’ve brought awareness to it I’m actively working to come out of it. I realize that minimizing/cutting (indecision continues) alcohol and weed is pertinent to my recovery and progression! WHEWWWWW!! This is some shit! This retrograde tried to take us out! But you what that’s ok. “Take out” the old toxic habits and in with the new, fresh, & clear minded habits! Sending Love, Light, & Hugs your way! We got this! 😌🆙🙌🏾💙✅🤞🏾
as a rising youtuber myself, i definitely go throw periods where i don’t feel like doing “work” (content creation). funny because i am definitely going through one right now😂 and it just might be this retrograde. ready for it to end so i can get back to *me* and the things that bring me joy
Honestly , I love you. Like I totally had the same week and I get what your going through, I was literally journaling as you were talking and the more I listened I realized it’s more about our mindset we hold and how can we make the best out every situation we are in , like what could we learn from this situation rn ? What is trying to be told to be rn ? Alone time is crucial and valuable even when you want to be around others like “check in before you go out” because the more you are comfortable with self the more you can be comfortable with others ❤, like if you get what I’m saying thumbs up because I feel all over the place but I believe ppl can relate😂😭💕 much love you guys, I wish you all who feel down, the best and major abundance in all areas of your life!
You know I don't see you as living a "soft life" at all! I think that you are constantly dealing with openly sharing your innermost self with us (not easy at all) and that you are working hard to help your audience feel worthy of loving themselves, too (so not easy!!) I hope that the next time you are not feeling worthy of your success, you can remember how you felt when you weren't being properly rewarded for your skills and talents. That may help you see how much you do deserve your success.🧡
I would love nothing more then to get high with you and have these deep conversation. Capitalism and hustle culture as well as internet culture has been in deep deconstruction in my mind. Also, this retrograde was rough.
What you’re frustrated with and what you’re feeling Is a LACK of purpose. Which is why having TOO much free time is sometimes a bad thing. Just like having too much freedom is, oddly enough, sometimes a bad thing.
The masculine is the doing doing doing energy and the feminine is the receiving and deserving part- you’re correct!! Thanks for sharing I appreciate you girl 🙏 keep buying the soap girl.
Also I feel you on feeling guilt for not being inside the hustle of your own business- something that helped me so much was realizing that procrastination is just you trying to protect yourself from stress. It’s basically a red flag we need to rest. Then get back to it after feeling recharged! But allowing the guilt free rest is the hardest part 💯🤪❤️ sending love !!
You're definitely not alone ❤ I struggle with this too at times and I appreciate you always sharing with us because it's super relatable. I think it's really important to remind ourselves of periods of time in the past where we have worked hard to set ourselves up for what we have today. Deep down, I do believe in short term "hustle" for long term rewards instead of constant hustle, if that makes sense. But yeah, I think it's important to remember what we've already done during times we feel less deserving.
Lynette, I FEEL YOU. Similar experiences have been happened to me with losing my wallet, going through a lot of healing points / pain points, I feel understood watching your vlogs. Continue being you and sharing your light. Love yiy
Yo Lynette, This will help with hangovers. Before you go out have some sort of electrolytes powder/ solution ready for the first 16 oz of water you drink the next morning. It’ll help bring you back 2 life. Then hydrate the rest of the day- And hey you’re doing just fine. YOU ARE ALWAYS WORTHY - from a friend who enjoys your show
Lynette please show yourself some compassion & grace as you go through this healing stage of yours!! And for the question, " is it bad to be alone when feeling off", I feel like you def should be alone so you are able to process your emotions & thoughts in peace but that's just me bc im a virgo moon lol. And as far as you going alone to get your phone, you technically weren't alone bc your spirit team is always with you! If it wasn't safe, I feel like you would've waited for your friends to answer. Sending you love as we go through the last couple of days of mercury retrograde :)
Girl mercury retrograde kicked in this time around.. it brought Hurricane Ian to Tampa but thankfully dodged & turned in my area... So grateful for that bc I couldn't deal with a movie- coming- to life during my 1st trimester 🙏🏽 It will pass Lynette..a few more days! U got this!! Feel better soon. U deserve the hand soap! It brings you joy! Bathe in that SHIT lol. Bathe in the energy of deserving! 💜 Happy October! Can't wait for all your fall content cutie!!
No because this retrograde has definitely hit so hardddd. It’s crazy how your videos always relate so much. I’ve been working on a speech about imposter syndrome and that feeling of undeserving of achievement.
I feel the same way . Unfortunately I’ve been unemployed for like a month. I’ve been cooking but I get so tired of cooking. I enjoy it but my mindset has just been bleh I def plan on investigating what’s really going on with my mood.
trauma release exercises have helped me so much with this! energy gets trapped so much in our hips, spine, neck, and jaw. releasing that has helped me process so much
Girl! I don’t really believe in mercury retrograde, but she’s been doing her thing! 😩😩😩😩 I’ve been such a mess I feel like I need a break, a mini vacation. I’m waiting for things to get better! I hope you’re feeling better ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ we have to stay strong in this
Lynette, I thought we looked alike until I saw Veronica. Veronica and I look so much alike it's weirding me out. Gap and everything! Your life just feels like my mirror sometimes lol.
I love this. I often times feel the same way but I was journaling a few weeks back about the concepts of being “deserving” vs. being “worthy” and the truth is we are all worthy of whatever it is our hearts desire if it’s in alignment with our life. Even something that seems as simple as a $53 candle. You are “worthy” of it sis! Enjoy it ❤
I have been feeling crazy these days, and so heavy and alone, like I will never be happy or reach any sucess. I am starting some things in my life ( my RU-vid Channel, courses and a new career) and it feels like I am going nowhere at the same time. Your videos are a great company in these hard days. Hugs from Brazil 💕
I totally get it, Lynette. Capitalism affects everyone. Its not even about the money or success alone. It's about our cultural conditioning. Also, lets be real now you do work hard. Making content & all that behind the scenes stuff you do takes work.
First, you are doing great sweetie. These like visual diaries are so cool seeing into the minds of others and realizing a lot of us going through the same shit. I will say, just a bit of unsolicited advice from someone who is a bit older than you having been through something similar feel your feelings but also dont live in them. Take action (and not just self care stuffs) but find a way to give back in a way that feels good to you. Volunteer at an animal shelter, at a school, and document it. You dont have to vlog it if that makes you uncomfortable but write it down, take photos for yourself and when you get wrapped up in a cycle of deserving, wanting rest, wanting abundance, refer back to those moments and think about how much you being you has helped someone you dont even know. I wish you so much love and peace throughout this journey and am so happy you have shared your little slice of the world with us. :)
One of the most real RU-vidrs, love when you upload! Glad this mercury retrograde has turned around for you and hope the week has been treating you well 💛
Girl the fact that you’re even recording the same day is doing wayyy enough. We are the same but you are much stronger! 😅❤ more than you think. Keep going! You got dis!
I relate so much omg. This mercury retrograde my long-distance relationship ended, i fought with a friend and yesterday i lost my wallet. Sooo... not great honestly. Tomorrow is my birthday and i am manifesting everything working out from that point ❤
@@onalosiletile thank you so much, you are so kind ❤ I already got my wallet back, so it worked 😂 Bless your sweet soul, I wish you an abundance of goodness in your life 🌿❤
@@onalosiletile it was my wallet haha, if it was my phone, I would have been out of my mind without chance of recovery 😂 Thank youuu, you beautiful soul ❤
It was really a rough retrograde normally I keep my thoughts positive but that didn’t work this time. We also had a total of 7 planets in retrograde I believe that’s why everything felt so intense. Glad that we are out of retrograde energy.
Literally this past week I’ve been going within and learning about my wounded feminine energy and my avoidant attachment style and the masculine energy I’ve been living in where I feel I need to work so hard too to take care of myself 😅
Miss Adkins! Don't you ever do nothing like that ever again!! 😩😂 I'm relieved everything worked out though lol. You have a pure heart, my worry is others taking advantage. Take care of yourself friend. For tough times, I always keep in my mind: this too shall pass. Thanks for sharing! 💕🥰
I feel you Lynette! Especially not feeling deserving of. Like, sometimes I think ‘damn I got what I created…now I need to work hard to keep it’ and it’s like, no sis. Whatever’s meant to be will be no matter what the case is. Sending love ❤
Hey Lynette, been watching you for a while.. you’re the reason I’ve been getting deeper and deeper into my spiritual journey… but they was so ready to reset 😂 your phone that’s why he didn’t want to say anything…
It's just you feeling guilty for not working hard. because that's what we have been program to believe that we have to do if we want something in life. I felt that way for a while. until I talked myself out of that belief. U deserve what ever it is that you want. period
the ruler of this retrograde is in mars right now so yes this retrograde is retrograding a bit more than usual ❤❤ but i think they call us to accept the natural ebb and flow of life as well
I think everybody can be selfish and prioritize what they want in a way. Your friends wanting you to be around even when you’re not your best is kind of selfish because they know you’re going through something and yet they want you to still show up for them. Its probably not them intentionally being selfish but it is selfish, in my opinion. I’m the same way, when I’m going through something, I don’t want to be around anyone. My energy is off, I’m not as friendly, you can tell in my face I don’t really want to be there.. so instead of faking it and bringing that energy around others, I’d rather just stay home until I’m mentally better.
lol I look like I’m about to cry but I just smoked Lmao 😂 right be like that sometimes 😂 and the girl saying she follows you lol OMG girl but no we needed this video. Been my life these last couple of weeks.
My inner child has been screaming at me this retrograde and I started my period today also , it’s so necessary but so painful lol so greatful for it also
I’ve been dealing with the same internal struggles. I learned to give myself grace when feeling this way and just be gentle/patient with myself. I’m in a time of introspection and I don’t feel like going out when I’m not feeling my best. I wouldn’t be present and or even be having a good time when I’m out bc my anxiety would be kicking my ass. It’s okay to be selfish when needed💜 I didn’t even realize it’s Mercury retrograde lololol makes sense tho
hellll nooooo.... never speak those words "you don't feel deserving of success"... don't say that! you have to love yourself brrooooooo... when I touched my first 20k.... man I was full of life !!!
Dear Lynette, Rest. Get some really good rest. If you practice Yoga practice it. Be still and rest. Sit at your window look out at that view of yours and still yourself for a time. Count your blessings name them one by one and again rest. You are deserving of the life that you have created for yourself. You are blessed to do the thing you enjoy doing and make money by doing it. What a blessing. Listen to me please? Work does not have to be hard to be considered work. It doesn't. Per example: When you were a little girl did you read or was the story The Cricket & The Ant read to you, if not here goes. (all paraphrased of course) Cricket and Ant are friends one day Ant says to his friend Cricket I toll and toll all day all the while all you do is sit on your hind legs and play music. We all know how busy ants are. I've seen ants work together and carry a slice of bread the same way human beings will carry a mattress. They work! Ants work! Hard. All day long. Everyday! (laugh) Cricket says to his friend Ant just because I play music for a living doesn't mean I'm not working. I want people even you Ms. Adkins to understand work does not 'have to be hard for it to be considered work and if you didn't have to work hard for something that does not mean you or I or anyone doesn't deserve it. Yes some work is hard, brick masonry, laying pipes and cables, nursing, being a physician, a parent, a care giver, fast food work, delivery drivers, long haul truck drivers, street and sanitation, etc, however, if whoever you are, the work that you do isn't hard to do I'm glad you don't have stress on your body like that. It doesn't mean you aren't deserving. I hope this helps. Now rest. I hope you feel better and get well soon. Apologies for the long length of this.
I hope you don’t lose your phone again but if that ever happens, maybe it’s worth going with a police escort if you feel unsafe/sketchy vibes because that’s technically theft if they aren’t trying to return it. You can call the non-emergency line for your city and have them meet you.
When I found your channel during Covid you talked about how you wanted to give back and help people. Are you doing that? You seem to not be happy. It’s cool to buy that soap if you can afford it but maybe you need something more in your life that gives to others to balance that out for yourself. I don’t mean donating money. I mean doing something or being involved in something consistently that helps others. Just a thought.
