Yes girl! Our nervous systems feel “safe” when they are used to something. So if stressed was your norm for a long time, when you slow down our nervous systems think ah! Omg! Not safe not safe!!
8:23 i'm glad you shared this bit about the relationship between our self worth & stress. a loving reminder that you are so valued and worthy regardless of the stressful grind 💖
That outfit is FIRE on you! IMHO feeling safe from being stressed could be bc it pushes us to be productive and control-focused. I'm STILL working on this at age 53. I'm much better than 20 years ago, but it's like chipping away at granite to create a sculpture. It's a practice like meditation. So impressed how committed you are to taking good care of yourself. It's really inspiring for me too.
Love your video. You inspire me to get out of traditional work , do what you really enjoy and make a living out of it. Everyone has moments when you feel down and it's hard to get going again. But the important thing is not being so hard on one's self and just keep moving forward.😊 Looking forward to more of your videos and arts. ❤
Man, I just wanted the video to keep on going 😊 your stuff really does bring an extraordinary amount of comfort ❤ congratulations on the shop reopening, and keep on taking good care of yourself ❤ quality of life for the artist needs to ALWAYS be the number one priority
Tammy, there are so many things I admire about your character and growth. Take it from someone whose years triple yours, I appreciate greatly all the time, effort, and honest communication you give openly here on You Tube. I'm a self taught creative and artsy person and your feed came up a while back. I couldn't help falling in love with all of your content. It's so relatable! Please know how seen you are and may I say, loved. Your parents must be very proud of all you're becoming. I wish you continued success and thank you for being so brave and transparent in posting the realness of your journey. Please consider this a virtual hug, on days you feel one is needed. Side note: your little creatures are so sweet and fun to look at! Had you considered making tiny ones to add to the inside bottom of your clay coffee or tea mugs that you're throwing at home?
I love your vlogs so much Tammy! You have a such a unique art style that I love SO MUCH!!! I hope the best for you and CONGRATS ON 300K!!!!! I do polymer clay to and I love to sculpt while watching your videos they are so calm, cozy, relaxing, chill and they just bring me joy. :) Take it easy and remember no matter how hard things are things will always get better! Have a cozy day🤗 Also I have watched all of your videos about 3 times all over again cause they are soo amazing!
I related so strongly to your statement about momentum. I also get afraid that stopping what I’m doing is going to cause me to be lazy and unable to pick back up again. But I guess this is just a good opportunity for me to find a better work ethic
Honey, Tammy, thank you for sharing your inner kitchen, the underside of your business. You have no idea how powerfully you support us, those who are embarrassed to show themselves to the world! Thank you for your inspiration and for believing in yourself! May you succeed ❤. You're a good girl! With love from Russia
omg I have been binging your videos and was starting to worry about a pattern of your apologies and crying, I know I shouldn't assume but I have the same patterns as well and it means a lot to me that you self-reflected on the stress association with safety. It took me five years to be kinder to myself and I'm glad to see you do it at 23!! 🥰you are amazing
Hi Tammy! I just wanted to say that you have helped me so much with my art journey and well, my personal journey in general, and I love your art and videos, so much, and one of these days I would love to get one of your pieces, anyway thank you so much for your content and art :)
Your videos have honestly brought me so much comfort over just the last 3 days that I’ve been (binge) watching your videos. They make me feel so relaxed and I genuinely crave to watch more of your videos. I find them so relaxing and comforting but at the same time inspirational and it makes me want to go out and achieve my goals. Keep doing what you do because you’re doing great ❤️ Enjoy the rest of your week
I really admire how you get everything done with intense focus but I can also relate to stress being tied with self worth being an Asian kid. Ans since I'm an immigrant now myself it feels like if I don't do more than enough I'd not be able to stay here which a lot of people around me can't relate to. The brain gets so used to stress and anxiety and it feels wrong when things are normal.
9:13 in this step of makeup I think you dont need more its more amazing to be this natural especially the eyes .. but remember you look amazing whatever you are doing >>
I am so gutted I missed out on your recent reopen! I loved the stuff that dropped and must have missed the Email notification. I really hope you remake some of the bits that were on sale because I love them
Love your videos 🤍🩵. I usually watch them at night because of the time difference, and they always leave me feeling soothed, fulfilled, and motivated for the next day.✨😌
Dear Tammy, I found your channel a couple of days ago and I wanted to let you know that I find it super inspiring! I’m currently working on my own business as well and your videos keep me motivated and give me the courage to keep at it and work, so my dreams can become true. Thank you for that!🌸
I genuinely find so much comfort and safety within your videos, and I really, really appreciate you. I am in the starting stages of my small business at the moment and it has been frightening, but your videos make it seem possible, like something I can truly build towards. Thank you for being such a big inspiration.
This is a PSA to anybody with a rice cooker, the coating will eventually start wearing off if you wash the rice in the rice cooker bowl, I learned that the hard way x( So I started washing it in a separate bowl! Save your rice cooker bowl guys ✨
Take time out to connect with yourself, sometimes we keep.ourselves so busy because if we stopped we would have to face our grief at the loss of loved ones and we just have to feel the grief and accept it.... be kind to yourself and know that all of us at sometime in our lives feel grief but it does pass ❤
The feeling safe when being unbelievably stressed... YESS. I'm also a child of immigrant parents. I didn't realize that I had that toxic mentality until I found myself in therapy at age 25! I'm 30 now and am more aware of when I start getting into that mindset, but I still fall into it sometimes. You're realizing that you do it and that's the first step to getting better.
I also like the pain after workouts. It does weirdly feel nice and remind me that I put in that work. I'm glad you're aware of your stress levels and how your brain is thinking stress means safety. Unlearning is definitely a process, but keep going! Definitely keep writing things out if that helps and take moments to pause and check in with yourself! Lol I thought you were about to crank out pasta, not your sculpting material. haha. I really enjoy your videos. They're a good mix of your work, honest reflections, and tips or useful resources. :)
I was at work yesterday waiting for my mom to pick me up when I found some cutters with a variety of shapes such as pineapple, kitten, butterfly, elephant, and I was so excited to find a large bunny and 2 small bunnies (1 extra instead of dolphin 😔). Shape is different from yours but I started thinking about making bunny earrings and i thought it'd be cute to make bunny earrings. So I'm looking forward to trying them out and making some earrings
For me right now, if all I got done by 6pm was design 2 things and order stuff on vistaprint, I would feel horrible and worthless and like I haven't even gotten the slightest amount of 'enough work' done in that day; this was really shocking for me. I feel like I have to get so many things done in the day in order to feel good about myself and feel like I've had a productive day. Thanks for showing me that not everyone is grinding out 15 things on a to do list everyday, hopefully I learn to stop putting so much pressure on myself, thanks Tammy
Yippee, your videos encourage me to be more productive in my life thank you so much and AAAAAa just curious where is that red cherry notebook from?🥰🥰💌🍓
I like the sore feeling after sport. It‘s like, yeah i have muscles, i can feel them 😅 In Germany we call it Muskelkater, that means muscle hangover. ❤love your videos by the way❤
I understand why you're calling it addicted to stress. I have the same, but wouldn't call it addicted. It doesn't give me any peace or a feeling of safety. I'm just scared when I'm not doing anything I'm not productive enough. For me it works to be nice to myself when I'm stressed and also plan working time and chill time. And when I did work in my working time I really feel I deserve my chill time. Instead of what I used to, always looking for escapes from the strickt voice that told me I'm lazy. No I can tell that voice I'm not lazy.
Just putting this out there but I would love to listen to an audiobook with you narrating. You have a soothing but very clear voice. Also what device are you using to draw on?
Congrats on the relaunch! Hope you're feeling more balanced now. Also those berries look really good...like real gummies lol 😁. What brand of translucent clay are you using for them? I've tried a bunch of brands and so far find that Fimo Effect translucent is the best all rounder, but of course what you use depends on what you're making.
Thank you Mike!!! I use Fimo Effects as well - sometimes it’s really hard to work with but i’ve never tried any other brands bc i never felt the need to after trying fimo 🤣
@@tammydinhhaha nice. I like Kato translucent for things like teeth and nails, but it's so difficult and time consuming to condition that I try to avoid it if I can lol
hey! I've been watching your videos a lot: you're such a huge inspiration to me, in a month I'll officially open my own online shop thanks to you and all your useful tips! thanks for everything you do, every single step matters :D (my pfp is about 3 years ago don't judge me..) ill definitely edit this comment as soon as i open my shop to lt you know i did it! have a nice day:))
I didn't get everything I wanted. Things were selling out so quickly things in my cart were taken out. Sad for me. Good for you though. I will patiently wait for commissions to open back up I guess.
I want to try air dry clay very badly but I have heard sunlight and baking gives the best result but my home microwave is in fahrenheit. I'm confused how should I bake them and how do I dry them after glossing them.
