Hello sweet friends!
First I want to start by saying thank you so much for your support, kindness and patience during this break I've had these past two months. Your encouragement and love during this time just reminded me how incredibly lucky I am to have such a phenomenal community of people here.
I filmed this video throughout multiple weeks as I navigated feeling stuck in a creative rut. I would go to pick up my camera to film and lose all motivation to document my life the way I usually had. This got to me pretty quickly and I was feeling so discouraged. It got to a point when I would spend days in bed, losing all motivation to do anything. I felt like I was trapped in this endless cycle. It wasn't until I finally decided to take away all expectations, put the camera down and really rest that I started to feel that spark coming back. I'm so grateful I took the time that I needed instead of forcing myself to keep pushing forward.
This video is bit more chaotic and vloggy than my usual style, but I still hope you enjoy it! The goal was to pick up my camera and film without any expectations for myself. If you're currently feeling a similar way, I encourage you to look internally to deeply see what you need, and then not be scared to listen to yourself and honor those needs.
Sending you all my love!
XO,
Desi

I made the decision to get off social media 3-4 years ago...the only thing I allow myself is watching RU-vid. When I quit the apps, I read more, wrote more, painted, sewed, gardened, walked with my family & pets, and, overall, became present and enjoyed life much more. For me, apps did not make me a better person; they did not make me smarter, kinder, a better wife or worker, they did not bring me joy or peace, or create feelings of contentment. There was a recharge, but more toward what really mattered. You take your time...take all the time you need :)

@Mythriftedhome214 Месяц назад

I recently saw a quote essentially saying that every moment we spend on our phone is a moment we aren’t spending with people we love, we aren’t reading, we aren’t being in nature, we aren’t doing some hobby, etc. I think technology is wonderful and yet a challenge to being present in our lives. I think sometimes we all need to get back in touch with nature, the part of ourselves that just enjoys doing something and not doing it as a post or to possibly even share with anyone but simply for the simple joy of experiencing it❤

It’s really sad, the state of everyone’s mind. You can tell everyone is anxious because they don’t feel they’re living to everyone’s expectations or because they’re in fear of putting one foot wrong in front of the world. I was reading Tom Lake and there’s a segment where the mom and daughters are in the middle of their orchard and they feel anxious to use politically correct language even though there was no one around. That segment really demonstrated the reality of our new world. It’s good to be compassionate and use gentle language but it’s also good to let people be human. Someone being insensitive is not reason enough to spend all day trying to ruin their lives.

@havocwoods День назад

sometimes this isn't an option tho. i have extreme chronic pain so i can't just do things. i have no friends, no one to talk to. no way of having hobbies, etc. i can only read so much before i get sick of it. if i didn't have my phone, i would have nothing, my days and nights would be spent staring at the ceiling. don't get me wrong i'm not exactly a fan of social media or the internet, but sometimes it's the literal only option of not being cut off from the world completely. i wish i could do things, but it's just not possible.

Imagine being in my situation, waking at 5:30 am to face a full-time stressful job, 3 hour commute, being a single mom, figuring out how I can save or make more money, and coming home to start crafting late at night, editing and doing voice-over into the wee hours of the night just to create content weekly. Then waking up to do it again the next day. I have been doing my channel for 6 years now with slow results, but still proud of what I have achieved. I don't have time to have picnics, I don't have the chance to sit and read, I only look up to the clouds to see if it will rain, but I am always creating in my mind, taking notes, trying to find the time to do it all. I do treasure the moments I get to watch you do all these wonderful things .I envy you it's true, you are what I wish I would have been 25 years ago but now in my mid-50's I am reaching to become everything I wanted to be. From a YT crafting channel, to an indie actress, to an author, to a non-profit writer and most importantly a mom. (and yes I achieved all this after the worst days of my life when my ex left me.) I look forward to your content to relax and recharge, to give me hope and to dream of a simpler life - so if anything I hope that motivates you, because you inspire me to keep at it, week after week, and find new ways to share my creativity with joy and passion! I plan to go to the UK soon too! Keep at it my dear girl - never forget that we await with bated breath to see what our whimsical friend will do next! Big hugs!

@seekerjordan680 Месяц назад

I've learned recently that there are two types of burn out. The first is the one we've all heard about and experienced. Too stressed, too overwhelmed, too unmotivated too... everything. But THEN there's the second one, where it is the LACK OF PURPOSE that makes our energy burn out. Think about it like having an energy drink or a cup of coffee and getting all hyped--- and then not doing anything with it. Not looking forward to something or finding something fun to do or being purposeful with our time. Inertia can be burn out too.

@janeburkhart4051 Месяц назад

Oh the end was everything to me. This weekend I was pushed into the idea of getting "just any job". Right now I'm not working. Only my husband is. Him and I are okay with this. But, its other people around us who don't get it. I have some work experience trauma and toxic things I'm healing from. The end of the video confirmed that I don't need to go out and do what others wish me to do. Im healing. I'm resting. I'm doing what my husband and I think is best. being creative in ways that bring me joy. which make me no money lol. BUT, I was in a theater play this year and it was amazing. People asked me if I got paid??? Can we not do things for joy? Yes, I think we can. I can. Thank YOU for resting. I needed to see this!!!

@greti17 Месяц назад

I went through this, I graduated with a degree, didn’t have a job for 10 months and people would judge and ask me all the time. People just couldn’t understand how I couldn’t just do anything to get paid. It made me feel so low about my career and life choices. I tried doing other jobs. Well, after the 10 months I was able to get licensed in my field of mental health, and found a job right away. It is since then that I know for a fact that what is meant to be comes at the right timing, not when you want it to. I also realized that people will never understand unless they are going through it. Do what you need for yourself as only you are experiencing these feelings.

I didn’t realise until I moved to the coast that parking with a view was a thing. I’m in Cornwall UK, and it’s the cosiest winter weekend activity to take our breakfast and our book, grab a Starbucks on the way, and sit watching the waves (and the wild swimmers!). It’s so peaceful and great to recharge. We sometimes see seals too, and there’s nothing more magical.

In November I'm getting married. It's something I've wanted my whole life and something I've worked toward and waited for since I was really young. I've worked on myself so I can be the best woman and wife I can be, and waited for the right man to come into my life. I've been feeling the burnout for many years but haven't been able to do anything about it because I have to work to pay rent and eat food. But my fiancé and I have been able to work out a way I can go down to part time and eventually fully be a stay at home wife and mom who contributes time and energy to the family and home in ways that better suit my strengths, like growing our own food and spices in the garden, and I would be so, so giddy if I weren't so exhausted. 😅 I can't wait!

Venerable Bishop Robert Sheen said that often times we "busy" ourselves or surround ourselves with costant "noise' and distractions, such as To Do List, Work, Social Media etc. in order to avoid being alone with ourselves and recognizing that perhaps we are lacking internally. I often think back to the times, growing up, before we had Social Media and 24 hr. television. What did I Do? I was outside more. Spending time with myself, thinking, writing, drawing , riding my bike. Gazing up at the clouds. visiting family or simply sitting on teh front porch , sipping ice tea.

I have always been busy busy and I find it so hard to rest and not to feel like "I need to be doing something". It's depressing and I have to choose everyday not to let it get to me and do what I can and be happy with that. So thank you for your grace. And please continue to take your days off.

When I get into these slumps I remind myself of this Marcus Aurelius quote from Meditations: At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: “I have to go to work - as a human being. What do I have to complain of, if I'm going to do what I was born for - the things I was brought into the world to do? Or is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm? So you were born to feel “nice”? Instead of doing things and experiencing them? Don’t you see the plants, the birds, the ants and spiders and bees going about their individual tasks, putting the world in order, as best they can? And you’re not willing to do your job as a human being? Why aren’t you running to do what your nature demands?" It's way better than the girl boss rhetoric that just makes me feel bad about myself and gets me feeling like a lil fairy comparing myself to bees and birds and plants going about their business, just with my lil human to do list!

@BethanyPlatt322 Месяц назад

The juxtaposition at 17:46 is astounding. You're talking about the beautiful sky and this man in the background walks by, head down, looking at his phone. It was almost jarring to me because I am that person. I used to be always outside, but lately I've been tied up with my phone and to do lists. I've realized watching this video that I've lost my whimsy and appreciation for the small things.

@BelgianBisous Месяц назад

we all have our own needs and sometimes we can't prioritize ourselves the way we need to. This is no hate to Desi, health and mental challenges are real, painful and hard to overcome, and a period of great change like a big move is frightening and paralyzing and overwhelming and you'd get stuck creatively for less. I'm glad she's able to take the best and healthiest course of action but this won't be possible for most. I wish for everyone struggling your life will soon ease a bit and you will have the time to find yourself again❤️

Hi Desi...while my problem is not what you have been experiencing, I LOVE the part of this video where you allowed yourself an "adventure" and do all the things you love. I plan on doing that soon myself. I NEVER have a day OFF! ...EVER...even when I am off. Cause there is food shopping to do, paying bills, laundry...always SOMETHING!! And sure I will find time in between, say washing the clothes, with coloring or crocheting (my favorite hobbies), but I still don't feel like the day is ALL mine. So, on my birthday this year, I will not exist. I will take myself away from my duties/responsibilities and claim the day just for ME alone! Thank you so much for allowing me to take a peek into your fun day, looking forward to mine. I'm going OUT! My favorite park and a Library with a hiking trail, that's where I will be.

It's such a joy to see you back. I hope you are feeling better. Keep life simple - that has been my motivation. Some things can wait, others are necessary such as eating healthy, having a good night's sleep (I have been sleeping earlier and it does work for me - I have always slept late), and arriving a bit earlier at work so that I can watch nature and recharge myself for a day's work, finding some time for meditation (it could be a prayer, breath work, listening to music... ). Be flexible. We are humans, not machines - some days we're productive, some days we're not - it's ok. It's just our body or brain telling us to stop a bit and recalibrate life. Take care dear.

For a 'creative rut' this is the most creative video that I've ever seen! I know it's frustrating when you want to do something but can't find the inspiration you desperately need, but it's wonderful that you've shared this with us- it's nice to know that you're not alone and other people go through this too, and if they can survive it so can you! I'll agree 100% that spending more time in nature can help you heal in all sorts of ways, my tiny veg patch is my sanctuary, whenever I'm stressed I go down and talk to my plants and the earth listens and suddenly my problems don't seem so big anymore.

I definitely feel like creativity is a muscle 💪 It needs rest! But it also needs exercise! You can’t only grind away or laze in bed but struggle to find the balance❤

LOVE the intro!!! It feels like Jared is reading aloud a picture book about you to us 💚💚 Also, this video is SO encouraging, like a light at the end of a tunnel. I know I’ll be coming back to it anytime I reach a “slump” in my life 💚💚

Thanks for this Desi, your message at the end is so so important! I have started taking Sundays off for the last 6 months or so to just read/relax/do anything I want and put my to do list away. It has changed my life! I am definitely less stressed and more joyful now 💕

I’ve tried to intentionally rest more this year- find things that recharge me and set aside time to rest instead of being so exhausted and just being on my phone. This perfectly encapsulated that! I’m so glad you found rest 😊

@NorthlandHomestead 29 дней назад

I really relate to this Desi! I also have a RU-vid channel that I love to work on. But sometimes, especially lately, it feels uninspiring, and like a chore. I don't want to feel this way. But when you are busy in life, and work is hanging over your head, it can feel depressing. I've been attempting to give myself grace as well, for wanting to enjoy the beauty of spring after such a long winter. And your videos help me do that. Thank you so much!!!

@Lillyjoy Месяц назад

Desi! 🌸 thank you for sharing this with us, it’s comforting to hear someone else’s way of coping with burnout. I feel like it’s ok to rest as long as you need to and I wish we could all do that, like I wish every job would just let you take breaks you need when you get burnt out. I love your charm necklace you made also!! And your annotating is so cute, I really want to start annotating like that too 😊

So many of us are having a hard time and most of the times we don't need you to do sth super creative. I personally feel better watching people live their lives . Noone in my friend group or family shares my hobbies or likes what I like. So when you show a mug you picked up, your new pretty pjs, a book you loved, a song you listen to on repeat I feel happy. Like I have someone to talk to.That's why I like you. None of us here will ever have a "dance clown" attitude towards you. We just appreciate the company and beauty in the smallest of things. We think of you as a friend. We appreciate the creativity but equally enjoy the simple "let me show you ! I bought bed sheets in a pretty colour!". I'm the creative director in my company and most people look at me for new ideas. They think I'm some sort of a generator.Which I'm not. I'm not some creative genius. It's hard being stuck or having to bring out new things. I find that the things that help me the most are new stimuli. I arranged an entire fashion shoot because of a modern painting I saw, combined with a MV I liked. That's how it works. When your hobby/passion becomes WORK you'll eventually reach a point where you'll feel stuck and like you cannot feel the joy in it. Noone talks about that, but we've all been there. You'll find a way out of it too. Take care, friend. Sorry for the long paragraph

@julieyeoh4593 Месяц назад

Hello Desi! I just recently discovered your channel and its become one of my favourite channels!!- they make me so happy even when it's something so simple so please don't pressurise yourself with your videos!- anything you film is so enjoyable and like meeting a friend! And just like with friends- sometimes sitting and doing nothing is already enough and so special! Thank you for making your videos and being you! 😊

Maybe going to a ball in England was like one of the highest emotional highs a girl could have,and now nothing u do can top that experience.

@MarikoIchigo Месяц назад

It makes a lot of sense, actually. I can't say it's her case at all, however, the addiction to constant stimulation may create a certain imbalance in our brain that may lead to a state of boredom, and lack of motivation among others, making us seek for that same emotion all the time. It is important to detox from that dopamine addiction, to understand what's causing it. The book "Dopamine Nation" explains a lot about this. It was so insightful for me, really changed my life!

Desi…I can’t even describe it, but your videos bring happy nostalgic tears to my eyes every single time…the way you speak about life is so raw and real and detailed. The way you enjoy the simplicity of life in such a beautiful child-like manner is so inspiring to me. I know you feel a huge creative block, but honestly…just you documenting the beautiful things in life and allowing people to see the world through your eyes is such a gift. You truly have no idea… So happy that I found your channel ▶️💖

@xOblivionx13 Месяц назад

Thank you so much for your creativity and your thoughtful words, they truly bring such peace and joy whenever I see them pop up in my feed. You inspired me to start reading again a couple years ago and just sit outside to embrace nature. Lately, I've been feeling stuck and unmotivated as well as I search for a new job (6 months and nothing so far) which I've been putting a lot of my self worth into since I'm an artist and have to compare my work to people I'm competing with. Thank you for the reminder to just be and allow yourself some self care :)

I’ve been beating myself up about it because it’s the beginning of summer and I should be taking advantage of that time, but I can’t seem to find the motivation. Even doing my hobbies frustrates me now sometimes. But seeing this beautiful video ignited a spark of hope in me! I definitely need to start reconnecting with the world around me and allowing myself to live the slow life. Thankyou desi, you are the cutest & truly an inspiration 🩷
