Hi Beautiful Souls, these are my self-care ideas, the things I have been doing to try to keep my spirits lifted and my lights bright. Beyond the basics, if you like... Decluttering my room, painting, taking care of my plant babies, changing my schedule, asking for help when needed and of course good old walks in nature. You're welcome to let me know what self-care things you have been doing too. Sometimes I do nothing, stay in bed and can barely move and sometimes I have really good days of doing all the things. But I just do my best, whatever that looks like throughout these very strange times. Sending so much love to each and every one of you. Xx Wendy
Ps. Currently having one of those stay in bed days, but don't worry, I am ok. Just remember that if you need to nurture then do that! It's okay not to be okay all the time.
Thanks so much for watching and all the lovely comments and connections & for being part of this caring little corner of RU-vid.
Love & big soft virtual hugs, Wendy Xx

So random, never heard of your channel before but I'm in desperate need of self care. You see my mom passed away in January. She was only 55. I have been drowning ever since. The thing is though, you were at the top of my suggested video lists despite never searching for self care videos or even thinking to. The craziest part though is my moms name is Wendy...

@JF-kv1gm 3 года назад

Hope that you find a wealth of loving, gentle, nudges to assist you on this part of your journey. So sorry to read about your Mum. Sending you virtual hugs, Lacey.

@theunexpectedgypsy 3 года назад

So sorry about losing your mom 😞 grieving is v bumpy so be really soft on yourself. Big soft hugs 🌷

@annetteelder-clark505 3 года назад

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm hoping you were blessed with a good Mom so you will have lovely memories of her. Grieving takes time and there will be days you're overwhelmed and other days you are just fine. Don't be hard on yourself to jump back into normal life at home and work. Take the time to process your loss and transition into your current life. I lost my best friend and then my cousin to COVID19 in February. There are many grief groups on line right now, see if you can find one whos members are experiencing a similar trauma to yours. Hoping you feel better soon and will think of your mother with nothing but joy in the future.

@karistone1297 3 года назад

Lacey, I'm also in need of self-care and this channel just popped up. I'm so sorry for your loss....my mum is becoming very frail and, at 89, we are anticipating she may pass soon. I'm going through a 'anticipatory grieving', trying to prepare myself but at the same time realising nothing can prepare me. As the other commenters mention, please be extra kind to yourself, take your own time and don't feel guilty if you have a 'good' day. Blessings.❤❤❤

I have been decluttering and repotting house plants too. After decluttering my bedroom and diffusing Lavender oil before I go to bed I am having a much better nights sleep. My plants look much better and are starting to grow new leaves and buds. I suppose that it is a kind of decluttering of their home too when you repot them enabling them to expand and breathe just like I feel in my decluttered bedroom!😃 Don’t spread yourself too thin Wendy. It must take so much time and mental energy to film, edit and post your videos. Don’t worry if you have to miss a week. It will be an even bigger treat for us the following week! Take care! Have a good week.💖

This world has me withered and worn, of late. Finding you right on time, your channel is like a full, fresh breath of air after gasping endlessly. I think the key is to be selective…fiercely selective about our energy, how we spend it, and what we agree to receive. Generous hearts especially must tend with vigilance as they “garden” their tiny pieces of individual soul-gifts. These efforts reach beyond self-care as the wide world benefits from our joyous wellbeing.

@kristinLB 3 года назад

Me too. It’s been a very tough year. And I’m usually very strong and a natural at seeing the good in the world. but this year I got sucked in, with covid and things going on here in the US with our political and racial issues etc. it’s been a doozy of a year and I’m beat down. Time to open my “ tool box” of things to help me get my light shining bright again. But right now I’m just like you, feeling withered and worn. We will be ok.

@clc3897 3 года назад

@@theunexpectedgypsy I cleaned out my wardrobe twice this past year, and I still need to go through it all again to get rid of all the things that don’t make me happy wearing. I’ve lost weight (imagine that!) in spite of rarely ever going out of the house, and I feel like so many of my clothes are way too big and baggy for me. My hair is about as long as yours, although I wish it would turn gray like yours. My house has a large garden with tons of trees, camelia bushes, geraniums, and even a couple of fruit trees (guava, and loquat). During this past year I had to work from home (distance learning, teaching art) so having the garden was probably the best blessing ever. I stopped watching the news about six years ago, and I don’t watch any television programming. I rarely go out, simply because I am one of those people who gets affected by the energy of others around me. As an introvert I think you know what I mean. I cannot stand seeing people with masks on. It’s the most dehumanizing thing we are doing as a people. Nobody ever makes eye contact, and everyone seems extremely anxious and eager to get away. The only place it is different it’s at church where nobody wears a mask and everyone is happy. Thankfully our church has been open for many months, even during the lockdowns, we had church on the field, and that brought a sense of normalcy for us all. We’ve been back indoors since October. This week I’m back in the classroom, however I have just four to five students in each of my classes with the rest of them still at home. I am finally feeling a return back to normal if I can call it that even though we still have way too many restrictions from us living our lives to the fullest.

I like your car vlog too, maybe bring them back back from time to time. I find we tend to romanticize the life of an artist either as madness or overly easy/carefree. I find watching you a good insight and I appreciate the wisdom you share. I am in my early 40 and do hope to shine bright like you when I get older.

Save them for those weeks when you need a break. Call them your 'recharging' videos.

@karistone1297 3 года назад

Rainey Jayne, can I say to you what I often have to say to myself? Coming from an extremely talented family of artist's I've avoided taking up any type of artistic endeavour for so long, so as to avoid comparison. This has only led me to depriving myself of the joy being creative can bring. Creativity is truly about the journey each of us takes, not the end result. When I paint or draw, I go into the most glorious place...one where time means nothing and anything seems possible. Wishing you every happiness and peace as you pick up that paintbrush and start to create again.❤

Such a huge challenge to manage everything...🙈! Am very interested at the no list 😏. Another very interesting part are the switches of the brain sides, if you do administrational stuff or art. I find it very difficult to do the switch between too but had no idea that it has to do with it. Have to think about that more 🤔, very interesting, maybe more art time at a stretch would help me too in dealing with that. Thank you so much for sharing your experience that way, this is very helpful 🙏💖. And please, don’t push yourself 💝, it’s so much work you manage every week and so important for us to be aware if our souls & bodies need time to recover & rest.

1) you're so lucky to have such beautiful surroundings in which to recharge 2) i've noticed a lot of creative youtubers kind of 'hitting a wall' in the last couple of months and talking about this very thing 3) i can only imagine the pressure of having to create, film, edit, provide 'extras' for patreon, shipping, comms, etc... and i think some youtubers don't realize this until their channel starts to grow. some can't handle it all. i have thought about doing a channel, myself, but the thought of producing an engaging weekly video is a bit much (mind you i work full time too haha)... but this is a good message to put out there, self care, having boundaries etc. 4) you are also blessed to have James helping, does he also have an outside job as well?

I am so blessed to have James and yes is has his own work too but we try not to take too much on. I love making videos and if it becomes too much I know I can take time off from RU-vid. x

Thank you. For your beautiful video, I am grateful. I have been very overworked for several years, but most intensely the past 6 months or so. My physical health is deteriorating because of this. Today, I started crying and couldn't stop. (TG I'm working at home). So, I took a break to lie down. I took my BP 40 minutes later and it was still 150/95. So then, I closed my work computer and decided to take a few hours off and I turned on your lovely video and read your lovely comment about needing to nurture myself and that being okay. I really, really, needed that. So, you are not alone, either.

It's always nice when sunlight seems to shine where it's truly needed in anyone's studio. It's also refreshing to step outside to nature which gives you a chance to take in the clean air, the smell of leaves (from the trees) and spring flowers.🌳🍃🌺🌼 I am glad that you're taking time to travel and explore what's out there for the Summer.🚙 It's very motivating and even educational! It's also great to take along encouragement as well!🎨🦸‍♀️💕💖🥰☕

Beautiful Wendy, I love all of the things that you bring to your channel…..very organic and authentic. I love that you are “true to yourself” and that is the most important thing. Selfcare , Selflove - love and nurture self so your cup is full to then share with others. Be Well and take care of You x

Your video is my piece of self care today :) I find talking difficult and I actually scheduled calls for last Friday and today because I knew you and another of my favourite artists Sandi Hester both release new videos on a Friday so I am watching to relax and replenish after the call :) Thank you, you are such a lovely relaxing and inspiring person to watch (I feel like you may have some farie blood :) ) and I love both the art and the blog parts of the videos. Also tell James he is doing a great job helping you so much.

Thank you for your honesty and sharing not just your beautiful art but wonderful tips for living a healthy life which we all need. Your videos have given me inspiration to Paint and art journal with permission from myself that nothing is wrong.. This has freed me from the fear of blank paper and making errors.. Namaste my light honours yours 🙏 keep on sparkling 🌟

@michellelilley9895 3 года назад

I feel some normality coming back after watching your videos, thank you for the inspiration - I really needed this help, support, and advice. I don't have an influential adult in my life, and you help me to feel as If I do. By coming here, I feel much calmer and collected. Thank you so much for putting yourself out there, you have certainly helped me.
