[@seemranhoro1572]

Here's more:- Don't wear clothes to please others Learn to say "No" Stop trying to feel happy when you are actually not. It's okay to be uncertain no one knows what they are doing Parents advice is not always the best for you Learn from the stories of Older people Always remember the bad times of your life and how you have survived. Not everyone around you wants the best for you.

You just spoke my mind

Lana is our therapist every Sunday.

[@phaninani1770]

💯💯

[@pritamroy8703]

I genuinely don't always watch your videos, but, whenever I feel really lost, less alive, kinda depressed, feeling awful about literally everything, then, I never find anyone better than you to help myself. It always helps almost exactly the way I needed. So, i just wanted to say thank you.

[@psstatus2108]

Yeah

[@yehehehaw]

I just wanna say that this channel is my comfort zone. Whenever I feel stressed or overwhelmed, I always find myself watching your videos, you have this calm and relaxing energy in you that gives me inner peace. Also I have sleeping problems and listening to you talk helps me sleep at night. You're literally my comfort youtuber, and like the big sister I've always wanted. Thank you for that. 💗

[@raskeshades208]

Pretty much living according to everything on this list. Been great for relieving stress, anxiety and most of the unwanted distress in my life. Gotten my sleep routine down, working out, working on family and friendly relations. Been a great year, and even with small steps you can get far with consistency.

[@NatureDaydream]

One of the biggest difficulties in my life is actually letting myself embarrass others. This is because I have been told that if I say something wrong and don't do the things expected by society, then I will feel ashamed and let others down. You are right with saying that not everyone will have good intentions in our hearts and we should not force people to be kind to us if they don't want to. When someone asks me about something I don't feel comfortable responding to and I don't respond or respond in a way which disappoints others then people become defensive. I have embarrassed lots of people before and doing so makes me feel uncomfortable and think about some of the things related to the past actions that I did and the future ones. I love your advice, Lana.❤️

[@tanishapareek2278]

Your videos always bring such a warm and comforting feeling, like being right at home. Your recent few videos didn't quite capture that classic 'Lana' vibe, but now, it's like Lana is back and better than ever! I genuinely hope that whatever you were going through has settled down and brought you peace. Sending you all the positive vibes! 💗

[@fyhbxfgh2912]

Ever since I started watching vids like this my life has changed so much and I’m so happy

[@lusindaveyan]

Lana, your energy is so positive and relaxing. Thank You for creating this warm atmosphere that I feel while watching your videos. 💓

[@koomornin7926]

Im 14 and i hate evrything in life but whenever i watch your videos i just feel soooo relaxed lana honestly thank you

[@amiraaurelia3378]

some of your advices are also what i’ve been giving to myself, but they don’t always stay in my mind so sometimes i forgot about those advices. thank you for making this video and those advices are truly helpful.

[@itsblakematthew]

Your insights and personal experiences shared throughout the video resonated with me deeply. One piece of advice that particularly stood out to me was the importance of not making oneself uncomfortable just to avoid making others uncomfortable. It's a powerful reminder that we shouldn't sacrifice our own well-being and happiness for the sake of pleasing others. Thanks for another great video, I really look up to you.

Awesome advice, Lana! Keep being your badass self! Funny about the multi-tasking issue. I have that also! 😆 Funny about the good running shoes. I used to own a running store and I preached that everyday. Very important! Love the Hokas!

[@Fionaedonohue]

she’s the big sister we all need! love u lana

[@eTLetl]

Your videos are super peaceful and you make me feel understood🫶🏻

[@theintentionalist]

In the morning before work sometimes I just have time to write the word "breathe" in my journal. It makes a difference when starting out my day.

[@rekhadekakakati1102]

You always give the bestest advice. The news thing is really true for me. Like you I also had a phase of regular intake of news and then I screwed my mental health so I stopped it. Also, the last words are golden. Thank you for reminding me that. Also thank you for being my best virtual big sister and teacher for 4 years. Lots of love from me ❤❤

[@user-eh2ed7rl4d]

how is this so random yet it's everything you NEED to hear ? she's such a comforting person

[@zothan379]

Omg exactly yes

[@lagomholly]

Thank you for sharing this advice, it's what we all know but need that reminder of sometimes when life gets away with us :)

[@KRITIKA555.]

her voice is just what i need at the beginning and at the end of the day she and wizardliz>>>>>>>>>>>>suggest me more channels like these coz i have watched every single vedio of them

[@AwesomeRando]

If I had to add some things to this list, it would be this: 1) Express your feelings through memes. A sense of humor goes a long way. 2) Read a non fiction book. And specifically a non fiction book. My favorite is a high school physics textbook. Reading is good for your brain. 3) You do not need to exercise a lot or too hard in order to see significant progress in health and physique.

[@vera-marieokafor3827]

Thank you ! I just thought that I'm the only one feeling this way so happy someone feel the same way I'm feeling and thinking your title is really true to its meaning it's not a sort of clickbait that most videos do finally thanks !

[@bethrhi]

I’ve been binge watching all your videos, you are so beautiful just like your soul is too 🤍

[@Marinameyers05]

The last tip is so true. I developed depression this year. Could not perform well on my external exams required for my national country. But, my own school grades were good enough to get me accepted into medical school in a much prettier country. It’s crazy how life works.

[@bloomnbury7387]

Lana I so much wanna make a KZbin channel and talk about healthy habits and stuff but right now I am holding myself back. You inspire me.

[@mansoor3159]

Omg! Lana what a perfect timing and my sister love your videos so so much you are my inspiration and I will support you till end💫💝🤗

[@nerd26373]

We sppreciate your pieces of advice. They certainly help us through the obstacles we have to face and come to terms with in our lives.

[@hnnhml]

Couldn’t agree more 🤍

[@cepe1]

I used to be the kind of person who would not lie or even consider that anyone would lie to me but as I got older I have seen that there are soo many people who lie in weird ways which actual led me to lie in various places too, hence the lie cycle started while I know lying is harmless in the situation, but has made me feel sooo much bad in myself that I cannot trust myself now 💔

[@Marvel_0731]

You definitely pushed me to start journaling. Thank you. ❤😊

[@ouui]

I high suggest fairtrade shopping, there are stores hidden even in the smallest cities and they are definetly the best option for good quality and fair labor conditions :) You can find different styles and really beautiful clothing, starting to fairtrade shop has been a blessing to my wardrobe!

[@babiioffgun1835]

Thank so much for this videos they really help me lot and others, thank you! Take care

[@vanessarincon8222]

Really appreciate the advice ❤️ Thank you!!

[@Mv3Trader]

One of the best decisions I've ever made was to stop drinking alcohol. I spent 3 years living in a country where it was illegal, so I pretty much lost my addiction to it then but I started drinking occasionally when I came back home until I had a drink one time with CBD, which made the feeling the following day worse than it usually is. So instead of giving up the occasional CBD I opted for letting go of the alcohol and don't regret it for a single day. 🙂

[@RaphaelAvant]

One of the advices I would like to consider experiment consistently is journaling

[@thepoisonousf1sh]

your videos are the highlight of the day!

[@LanaBlakely]

well this made my day

[@poornimachavan3556]

You make me happy lana love you lana❤️🤌

[@shekhargupta6718]

Your mindset is the foundation of your success. Build it strong and build it well. Challenges are not roadblocks, they are opportunities to grow and become stronger. Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

[@chickenwingwithmayo]

i loved this video! absolute 'big sister' vibes~!! thank you for this :) have a great day

[@bbyluvspink]

Wow, such a lovely video Lana!!!

[@hankalorinczova]

*Dear Lana.* I just want to let you know that your videos (or your films) are so cinematic! I really and honestly wish they were projected in the cinema, because they are legitimate, true and real cinematography. But the fact these videos are on KZbin is such a great treasure, advantage and priviledge!

[@LanaBlakely]

Wow this is really kind. I appreciate your words!!

[@hankalorinczova]

@@LanaBlakely Lana, I appreciate your words and your response! Thank you so much.

[@gloriie.]

At 8:10, the lying part hit just right. For instance I’m still a minor, but I had developed over the past years the habit of lying, even when it was not necessary, even when the motive was stupid. And each time I’m done doing it in my mind I’m just like « Oh God, why did you do it? It wasn’t necessary, you could’ve just told the truth ». So I really want to stop it and I will try my best.

[@vibacar93]

A video that I really needed to watch. Thank you Lana 😊 10:04

[@timbrown9731]

Actually, that’s very interesting that you talk about that situation Lana, I felt the same way when I go out with my friends in the same situation always been an early riser….. maybe I’m just getting old at 44 lol

[@andrewlong5444]

Liked this post especially "truth' segment, I will expand, carrying a 'grudge' or 'hatred' are lifetime occupations. Forgiveness and acceptance for things you do not agree with or like is a 'one off act' work round these issues because the rest of life is then uncluttered for doing so 🙂NZ
