Common: Wellness Is Having My Whole Self Together

[@hilpei3675]

Good human, doing the important, self-aware, work. I love the idea of keeping it "true" rather than getting it "right". Knowing people like Common, and Stephen, are in the world gives me comfort and hope.

[@hilpei3675]

The important thing about self-care, is that when we do it, we can show up for others in a much more compassionate and present way. It's a win-win, as they say.

[@panda_kebab]

Saw this on late night Aussie TV after I got home from a shitty experience with ppl at work. This uplifted me so much. Always love Common- but never knew what an amazing down to earth person he is. Every word made me feel better and I'm ready to take a simple step every day to improve my wellness!

[@sevenirises]

I love the aura and presence around him he shares.

[@ManyfiresWoman]

I have loved Common since I first saw him in "Hell on Wheels". He was so powerful in that role. Of course, he's been several after that. Can I just say that I like what the dude has to say as a human being and as a man. 👏

[@erasmusherzen]

Very beautiful that he is welcomed by the crescendo of Living for the City

[@janetownley]

Exactly 😊

[@billhemingway5558]

I've been learning to keep it true and bicycling has become part of my wellness and meditation

[@kirstymacfarlane3815]

Wellness for me is getting my Stephen Colbert fix!

[@psychmatisa]

Love this man ❤

[@ListenToPowerViolence]

I quite like his jumper.

[@TheFever77]

Common ageing like fine wine.

[@laalaa99stl]

Wellness is when neither your mind nor body are preventing you from doing the things you want to do.

[@gwilymyddraig]

my heart condition prevents me from doing stuff, but it also helps me persevere and learn to be patient.

[@gwilymyddraig]

With my Idiopathic Hypertrophic Dilated Cardiomyopathy I have never looked or felt this well in my life

[@monicafelstead3260]

Spoken like someone with no health issues lol. I'm often prevented from doing what I want to because of my body, but I'm still taking care of myself and trying to give myself the grace to do what I want when I can.

[@moniqueengleman873]

Well damnit....... My health score says that I am 91 yrs old But my emotional age is happily Fifty-fifty. I am hanging in with life. 😅

[@moniqueengleman873]

​@@gwilymyddraigGood. Keep it up! My ejection fractions went from 32 -68. I recovered. I allow myself to heal.

[@mszoomy]

I was burning Palo Santo tonight, it's so relaxing. I started making my own incense cones recently and the PS is my favorite. Sometimes I add other things to it like lavender but I try to keep it natural

[@mellodope8904]

I KNEW "A Beautiful Revolution Vol. 1" sounded like therapy. Because it is!😂

[@mycle66]

Please put both parts of interviews together for the KZbin. Thank you.

[@vampirelogan]

That's some common sense right there, folks!

[@antnedouglas6183]

When you're at the top of your game, you can do things that others can't. Keeping it "true" vs. "getting it right" is not always helpful. I've mentored many young men who had very self destructive habits and mindsets. They sincerely believed that changing their behavior or mindset would be "selling out". To become more successful in life I had to stop "keeping it true" (meaning get outta my feelings/emotions) and start "getting it right" (meaning become disciplined enough to stick to standards that lead to the desired outcomes). but anyway.

[@kayecastleman6353]

I think the folks who write those captions are the most underrated comedians...

[@wombatkins]

Im glad common seems happy. Be and Finding Forever are super wonderful

[@ktg484]

All I see is Sterling K Brown as Common! 😆Thanks Family Feud: Oscars Edition - SNL

[@TheRealEtaoinShrdlu]

Anyone else thinking "Common Go"?

[@BrandonCroker]

Coach Cal likes meditating

[@HBarnill]

Common is the splitting image of Kratos.

[@laalaa99stl]

Palo Santo. The pale saint. Checks out 👍😁

[@cliffordheggins1399]

Yeah

[@matthewsutphin7508]

I like putting brown sugar oatmeal in my cheerios. That's my meditation

[@wendigo53]

EEWWWWW. That makes you a breakfast pervert. That is cereal bestiality.

[@lamorenalindacopswife]

Anybody knows what that intro song was that played when Common walked out? It sounds like something by Stevie Wonder maybe...

[@daveschroeter]

Yep, Living For The City

[@yolieswitzer9466]

Yes, Just Enough

[@Amy-kr4tc]

Women (and please no issue here - many people regardless of sex or gender also… but ..) have asked themselves that forever and always will… taking space and time for self care is daunting at minimum… we are busy caring for all Others … but it’s beyond critical.

[@christopherbedford9897]

Good lord, so fucking _earnest._ Lighten up, dude.

[@almightymachine9930]

Damn man- my whole aura is the opposite of this dude. God bless!

[@NewMessage]

will never have a 'wellness journey' story.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

4:25 "I've been in a meditation where people have meditated for, like, 40 minutes. I fell asleep. You know, but- but- but- so- so-" "That's also part of your wellness journeys." Indeed. Meditation is often used for _relaxation._

[@Nicole-nt5np]

He can't speak

[@ryanmalone2681]

Seems like a cool guy. Never heard of him and no idea what he does other than a wellness book.

[@CocoChanelle-1]

How do you spell polysantro??

[@Anthonyktoni]

I love you 😘😘😘

[@youngrighteous699]

dude DODGED a bullet by not being with Tiffany Ratchet

[@peppermint.patti808]

I can't picture them as a couple... They seem very different

[@fredemny3304]

Never heard of Common until I saw him on "Silo". He may well be a musician, but he couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. One of the most wooden performances I've ever seen.

[@gonzothompson4686]

Hell On Wheels! Binge it! He is awesome❤

[@Justusson]

Check out “Tank Girl”, from the 90’s. Cult movie with him, Ice-T, and the main star Lori Petty ❤️‍🔥 Great comic movie! Great soundtrack!

[@annarose3354]

😃

[@Mgh-r]

❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Justusson]

Tank Girl, anyone,..?

[@terimiller6814]

What's that incense? I've never heard of it, and where can I find it?

[@poopsonastick13]

It’s more like sticks of wood, it’s called Palo Santo and you can usually buy it where you find incense. I burn some every morning ❤

[@terimiller6814]

Thanks!!! 🙋

[@GM-cq6ez]

2 min. meditation? Come on, Common! Who are you kidding? That's just pure BS.

[@annarose3354]

😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

[@annarose3354]

🤯🥳🥶

[@garybowler5946]

Christianity, no thanks.

[@MrChocoMoose]

Palo Santo. Is that his way of mentioning Palestine without being censored?

[@Justusson]

C’mon dude,..

[@LazyIRanch]

No. Palo Santo is one of the most popular kinds of incense, I find it at Dollar Tree. Not everything is political.

[@stoker1931jane]

3:25 If you can ONLY have 'Wellness' as he describes; "with a moving & working body"...most Handicapped /Impaired, Chronically ill people are really screwed. Sad to see this Glorification of healthy goodlooking people all the time. Hope for him, he never gets seriously ill, handicapped, really old. Glad we don't all have to match his standards - and still feel good about ourselves🥄🥄🥄✊🏻...
