5 WAYS TO DE-STRESS | My De-Stress Routine

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Hey everyone! What's your favourite way to de-stress?? ALSO, who caught the Parks & Recreation clip?? 😝

[@misslexilouwho]

LOVE Parks & Rec

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Lisa Kartasheva Aww thank-youuu girl, that means a lot ❤️❤️❤️ I spend LOTS if time searching....a site called Epidemic Sound is great for getting royalty free music for videos 👌 That's where I get the songs I use...I also use Audio Network

[@deenicole63]

I personally get really stressed when i have a lot of tasks or things that need to be done. I know it helps me to write it all down.. somehow that releases my mind from trying to remember everything. From there i can reorganize the list in order of importance or time restraints. Classical music is also something that reeeally de-stresses me I usually will listen to it when i am feeling really anxious about a test or big project coming up and it helps me remember to breathe. Love the video ❤️

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Dee Nicole Beauty Lists are a fanatstic tip!! I use them too! And hmmm I've never tried listening to classical music to help with stress...I'll have to try that out, thanks 😊

[@studyquill]

super helpful, thanks so much!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

My pleasure! Glad it helped, Jasmine! :D

[@Sarah-cn6fn]

I love to go walk around bookstores or nature, the energy there is incredibly calming

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Sarah Presley Ahhh so true, Sarah! Very calming 👌😍

[@brittanygoldfieldrodrigues4032]

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Brittany Goldfield Rodrigues Thanks Brittany! I'm really trying to have some good meaningful discussions on this channel so I'm glad you're loving it...and haha, it's a good one 😂

[@lindsaydowty3118]

Hi Caitlin! Just wanted to say your videos are always a highlight of my day and are part of my own de-stressing routine! Sometimes it's just nice to take a quick break, watch a video put up by such a personable and sweet person, and relax for a minute. I cannot stress enough how amazing I think it is that you are so real, honest, and relatable (especially to me as a fellow college student!) Thank you for sharing your life with us here online!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Lindsay Dowty Lindsay, reading your comment warmed my heart...that is so nice of you to say ❤️❤️❤️ I'm glad my videos have a positive impact on your life....thank-you for making my day 😍😊

[@tum836]

I find this kind of videos as well as studying and organization videos very very relaxing so every time I get really stressed I just binge watching these

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Yay! Happy to hear that!

[@arwenskitchen]

I love going home to see my family and hang out with my dogs, doing a facemask, procrasti-cleaning, getting a coffee or baking to help de-stress! Love your tips, made me really think about what I naturally drift to when I am stressed ☺️ also a big hell yes to pen shopping 😎

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Arwen Bradley- Jones Thanks, Arwen! ❤️❤️ And all of those de-stressing activities sound AMAZINGGGG 😍

[@jesslee635]

This was perfect timing , coz i also have exams soon

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Jess Lee Ahh exam season is never fun! Good luck, Jess 😊

[@louisemaaree]

Me too eww. I’ve had a knee operation and I’ve missed ALL the work I have to know for the exams. Don’t know how I’m gonna do it

[@jesslee635]

Louise Robinson oh my I really hope your knee is better now, also good luck for exams you got this 😊

[@jesslee635]

Caitlin's Corner thank you 😊 good luck to you too

[@bellaboux402]

Bullet journalling and gratitude diaries are great too xx i have a book where you write three things a day which youre greatful for.....from someones kindness to a starbuck, theres always positive things in a day-its just realising it x

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

YES! Exactly! =D

[@LaurenElizabethxxxx]

One of my favorite things to do is to go to the store and buy myself a "treat." This past week, I bought myself a new candle at Bath and Body Works. I even like lighting them during this time of year because it makes my desk extra cozy when I'm doing homework

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Lauren Elizabeth Treating yourself is one of my favourite ways to de-stress too 👌😍 Candles are amazing !

[@bellaboux402]

Love this xx you are totally blessed to have a mum you can talk to. Mine stresses me out so i choose other people to talk to x

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thanks! Yes, I'm really thankful...I'm glad you have people in your life that can be the same thing for you! :)))

[@learoy-choquette2656]

To de-stress i'm the same as you I looove going to Indigo, it relaxes and motivates me even. Also a bath with a good lush bathbomb is amazing! xx

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Léa Roy-Choquette The best place ever, right?! Heading there now 😝 Ooooo baths are fanatstic!

[@clairebeyes314]

I know I’m coming in late, but one of my favorite ways to fix my mood is a Pinterest board I created called feel better about things. It’s filled with pins that make me laugh or think, hey, at least it’s not that bad. After even just 10 minutes of looking through it, I’m already laughing and feeling better. And it works to help all sorts of negative moods, or boost positive ones.

[@dxmyana9913]

I really needed this right now, thank you ❤ I've been trying to improve so many things lately - my appearance and character, my relationships with family, friends, boyfriend, my art "business" and sometimes it just gets overwhelming, especially when school and CPE courses are involved. So thank you for this video, perfect timing indeed! ❤ My favourite way to destress is to get up early in the morning, make myself some coffee and then read a book (right now I'm reading Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert and it's amazing! I'm really into self-improvement books, especially those connected with creativity and art!) 😊

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

That's incredible to hear...glad this video came at the right time for you....good luck with everything! And reading is such a great thing to do to de-stress....definitely helps me out too :) I'm going to have to add that book to my list so thank-you !

[@tiffanybeesley1278]

Love your lip color. Mind sharing what brand/color?

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thanks, Tiffany! It's NARS' Velvet matte lip pencil in the colour, Damned !

[@stephc836]

Thank you so much for this video ! I found this very helpful!

[@almasanchez8495]

This was really helpful!

[@katier4666]

I love your makeup in this video. Also this video is super helpful because I am so stressed right now!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thank-you, Kat! Happy to hear the video came at a good time for you...hope your stress ends soon :)

[@beckabrooke]

I like to write in my journal to the Spotify playlist "Piano in Background". My night routine consists of lighting candles, dimming lights, drinking a BIG glass of water, making sure I am full, and journaling to this very relaxing background music. AND none of it costs any money so you're not dealing with stress by spending.

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+beckabrooke I LOVE this...a soothing routine can do wonders 👌😍 I'm going to have to check out that playlist!! Thanks for sharing Becka !

[@MathildeG]

Indigo is also the store where I go the most when I am stressed :).

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Mathilde G. Aww neat! You have great taste haha 😂👌

[@audreywilson9507]

I love your channel so much because its so calming and pretty. And this helped so much thanks

[@carmenhogue4873]

Get some good colored pencils and a favorite adult coloring book and start coloring. Its very therapeutic and fun, i love being creative

[@veronikaandelova82]

Your videos are very destressing! What I do when overwhelmed is to grab a coffee as well, listen to some calm music, read a chapter from a book, take a bath, eat something unhealthy (say yes to chocolate) or spend time with my chinchilla (he's just a big fluffy ball of grumpiness and bites and I love it!).

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Aww, thanks Veronika! Ahh you have a chinchilla?! My cousin used to have one and it was the cutest thing ever :D

[@veronikaandelova82]

Yes, they are too cute. I love how funny they are. My Tom looks like grumpy cat. He doesn't like to be held or pet or touch. But I do it anyway. :D

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

He's named Tom?! Omg, I love that :P

[@nadirahfatnin4679]

Your video is alwayss amazing. This is so helpful. Thank you :)) My fav way to de-stress is by doing painting

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Aww thank-you !! Painting sounds so therapeutic...what a great way to de-stress!

[@juniacoe-renner7516]

I love to destress with a cup of hot tea

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Junia Coe-Renner oooo good choice!

[@elanasmith2928]

My favorite way to de-stress is to do something that makes me laugh, whether that's watching a funny show (like Parks & Rec which I love), or hanging out with friends or family!

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Elana Smith Ahhh that's a great way to de-stress 👌😍

[@lilrosechimpunk5283]

+abby cairns aww I love that!! I seriously need to get me a dog 😍😍

[@abbycairns7056]

Caitlin's Corner I really hope you can!! I absolutely love my pets. Any idea what kind of do you would like ?(:

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

No, not sure yet but I feel like within the next few years I'll be seriously thinking about it :)

[@abbycairns7056]

oh good luck !(: thank you for the wonderfully uplifting videos and replying

[@yousuzers565]

I just need to say, before I continue watching the video, that I LOVE your lip colour! It think it looks so beautiful, especially on you

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Aww, thank-you so much! Decided to go a little bolder with my lip choice :P

[@astridfabri7942]

Nice video and you look so pretty, I love your hair !! I also like to organize/tidy up my stuff when I stress, it just feel like I have my shit back together ! :p You should tell us what are your favourite inspirational books :)!

[@priscillaose5772]

0:08 cuteee journal! Thanks for sharing

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thanks!

[@klaudittha96]

So, one of my favorite ways to de-stress is to get into my bed and have a nap. Hhahaha and then watching a movie or a chapter of a serie or youtube videos. I really like doing those things specially when I don't have much time and I'm very tired. And when I have a little more time and I'm no thaaaat tired, I like working out or doing yoga.

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Ooooh, Claudia there's nothing like a good nap !! Love your de-stressing activities, thanks for sharing!

[@klaudittha96]

Thank you for the video! I really enjoyed it :)

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

:))) My pleasure!

[@mollomango]

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Louise Robinson That's so incredible to hear, Louise ❤️

[@anoukvanbogget8437]

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Anouk van Bogget Thank-you, you're so sweet 😊❤️

[@LiFEwithIvA1]

Great video!! I definitely needed this with midterms going on... bleh.

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Thanks! Good luck with midterms, Iva !

[@rainbowhealth8348]

I personally love getting out in nature, especially spending time at the beach! Putting my feet in the sand, hearing the waves rolling in, watching the clouds drift past, the birds, the blue ocean swirling. Calms me so much! That’s my de-stressor :)

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Rainbow Health just reading that description made me calm, haha! Thanks for sharing !!

[@nadineviveiros]

I literally had to watch this video again cause the treat yourself plug gives me life lol

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Nadine Viveiros LOL! That's from that Parks + Rec show I was telling you about...just watched that episode tonight 😂

[@1993quinners]

My new way to de stress is taking my family's dog to the lake and walking along the boardwalk

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Erin Quinn Aww I love that 😍😍😍

[@wvdrummerchick]

yay!! New video!! :)

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+wvdrummerchick 😊😊😊😊

[@emeraldm0on-yt]

How dare! You conditioned shimmying to Henry, no wonder why he gets so excited during a new month!

[@ruhvi9732]

I love to go out in nature when I am not feeling happy

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

That's an awesome thing to do! Fresh air does wonders :D

[@j.monserrat2180]

This is so Monica, but when i'm stressed i like to organize things, maybe my clothes or my makeup

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

Haha, that's VERY Monica! I always know when my roommate is stressed/busy when she starts cleaning :P

[@allisonboreen9008]

I LOVE this video... and you! I keep my Bible studies very close to me all day long. If I have a bad call, email or experience at work, I throw myself in my study... even if it is just 5 minutes. It helps me so much! I also enjoy a really good hug/snuggle. I will force love on my cat haha. But his warm, fuzzy body instantly calms me down. I am a grown woman but will still snuggle up with my mom, who gives me instant comfort, too. I have some really great friends who are great huggers... that helps too! ;-)

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

+Allison Boreen That's incredible Allison , thanks for sharing that 😍 and oh my, a good hug does magic !!

[@Rosie-qq6qe]

OMG HII I'M LATE BUT I LOVE UUU

[@caitlinmariedasilva]

THANKS!
