I have my own struggles, for sure, but I am very concerned for an older neighbor of mine who is struggling with a deep depression. She told me "My life is OVER and I don't give a Sh&t! I go from the kitchen to my bedroom!" her husband has dementia and she always depended on him; a once very buoyant man who was born in a concentration camp in Germany. She is French, an artist, always prone to depression. Now she is feeling very hopeless and negative. I don't know what to say or do. They don't have internet, not even mobile phones, so communication is difficult. My heart is heavy for them both. They are such beautiful people and they are breaking my heart. I'm so glad I found you, I will bring my phone to them and show them your videos. Thank you!

emmy, you are "goals", thank you for your wisdom <3

Thank you Emmy. You are helping me learn how to take myself seriously. I love you, beautiful soul

I am far from perfect. Who is? but I have a sister who is a mess in man ways. I told my daughter on Thanksgiving that if I gave a signal to her to start recording my sister and her behavior to be shown to her at a later date because she has NO idea how she acts. Sometimes we can 'remote view' ourselves but also people we care about need to be shown how they behave when the are unaware. Well it didn't happen but I wish it did. Lesson learned was how MY reactions to my sister's disregulated behavior affects ME and all of us in her presence. Very important! Thank you!

Wow!

I absolutely love you❤

Hello Emmy van Deurzen, this video has high value for me, and was automatcally translated by AI (with a terrible robot voice that is not yours) into German language (KZbin knows that I am located in Germany). I cannot put the audio to origin, different functions tell that only the video creator has influence on making AI automatic translations or not, its about KZbin set ups in the KZbin creator's studio. Please take this comment as a friendly feed back that KZbin has put up this new "service" recently, thank you and 🙏from a long time follower of your channel

Untrue

You are so beautiful

Thank you

Oh, thank you, you wise wise woman, for sharing these videos❤

The fear of failure kept me from doing so many things. I ended up stuck in one place only these past two years with therapy im finally moving slowly forward

Zo mooi en motiverend, ben zo dankbaar dat ik uw kanaal heb ontdekt. Het voelt als een geschenk 💛 Veel dank voor het delen van uw reflecties en kennis in deze vorm. Dit YT kanaal is een ware gem op het internet.

Thank you. 🥰

The best speech on Self Sufficiency I've ever heard!! As a child I was Parentified as well as Infantalised as I navigated both my parents tumultuous behaviour, I was either their parent or their stress buffer. This led me to not know who I was, an individual in my own right. I've spent my whole life in the same Parent/Child dynamic in all my romantic relationships that turned into a Power Imbalance as I people pleased my way through to get back the love I didn't get from my parents. Now at 55 recently single and learning to take care of myself and get to know who I am. Thank you Emmy for this very poignant message. 🌟

Hi Emmy I am just wondering did you crochet your beautiful crochet jumper. Crochet is one of my few pillars in life and so l noticed and admired your jumper. Granny squares put together. I would 💚💚 love to make something similar. Sending my best wishes from Mary 🍀🍀

you are wonderful!!!

Really needed to hear this today ❤ Currently really getting to know myself for the first time in 55yrs, Thank you Emmy🌟

Oui, merci, je comprends et je vais le faire du mieux que je peux. ❤️

Bruno you are so very brave ❤️ i do pray your paw gets better soon because you love to retrieve and do it so very well. 🐕

Thanks so much .❤

One continues to check on you. One does not usually comment on videos. The videos are about togetherness and one is each influenced of word choice and objectivity as you. Less figurative one focuses on God and prays God does not influence the unworthy. One appreciates your closing of the video of you specifying “worthy” of a person existence made is as one is to be. Thanks again there. Reaching out how you do.

The forest/ woodland image really works.

Age is just number..If there’s one book I think everyone should read this year, it’s keezano’s Your Life Your Game. It beautifully shows how connecting with God and building meaningful relationships can lead to spiritual growth, and success in both your personal and professional life. This book truly changed my life…a must-read🙏🏼

Thanks!

Lone Wolves do not need that much.

Wonderful !!!

🥰❤❤❤🤗This is a video I need to listen to everyday. Thank you so much for sharing. You are such a treasure and I am so happy I found your channel. It is my favorite one.

Thank U ♥ -- inspired by your words and acted on them -- did some self-care that I was putting off bc I am used to neglecting myself. It goes in waves. Consistency is th goal starting today!

We need that pause. Thank you as always. ♥

You offer a wealth of gentle wisdom and inspiration. Thank you and bless you.

Thank you for sharing your incredible wisdom so unselfishly Enmy. Cuddle to Bruno 🐕🐾from an icy uk 🇬🇧 💕 😊

Thank you Emmy God bless you always ❤❤❤

Bruno ❤

I like your metaphor about the 'taking care' and being the shepherd of ones life. This is alreaddy my way of locking at the old old house I'm living in, and the Dogs I care for. Now Will become more conscious about this way of thinking of my own life. Being the guardian of.my own life.... and seing it as a privilege!

Hugs to Bruno! Hope his paw gets better soon❤

bedankt Emmy

You are so amazing I could listen to you all day and night, if I didn't have my own life to attend to, lol! I enjoy seeing your transformation from your earlier videos, which were great, but it's evident that you are getting happier as you grow older.

When our spirits are a little lower than normal, the world becomes small, the path becomes blurred and enthusiasm is lost. How important it is to seek human reconnection, Listening to messages like this makes me look again at the great internal and external potential of a life waiting for us. Today I especially needed a message like this, I am immensely grateful for your kindness and time for us

Hi Emmy, I’m struck by the feeling that taking stewardship is so confined by the (im)possibilities of day to day life. My self-investigations would always start with asking what is possible -within those confines-. It feels strange to ask what it is that would make me feel vibrant and alive. You are challenging me to ask that question, thank you for that! ❤

Namaste 🌼 beautiful, beautiful teacher. Thank you. ❤

My self care has changed a lot in the past decade. I am more myself. I care for myself in ways that others do not. Mostly diet and movement and mediation AND kindness to myself on days I want to rest and eat crisps and candy. "Everything in moderation including moderation".

Always glad to see you. Emmy❤

Prayers for California. USA.

Thank you Emmy. Life is so hard to live.

Love the sweater too. ❤

Gosh you’re brilliant. I’m 65 and in the middle of another awakening similar to early 30’’s. I appreciate your sharing of life’s wisdom. Thank you. ❤🌹

Exactly the pep talk I needed. Thank you! Xxx
