Aw, thank you x

[@lisak3257]

I’ve had a really good conversation with my boyfriend about this the other day. He currently struggles a lot with his mental health and we were talking about why his inpatient therapy a year ago helped him so much. And he said it came down to really simple things which made all the difference: a good sleep schedule, freetime without the internet, doing sports very often, getting good food, socializing and taking the time to reflect and work on his mental health. So now we both try to implement those things into our day to day life. I really think it will make a difference! I’m currently writing so many exams in uni and weirdly I‘m not at the edge of a burnout like in past exam-weeks. And I guess it’s because I sleeps enough, mealprep an eat healthy and go to the gym at least twice a week. (Sidenote: in Germany we are allowed to go to the gym). I’s still stressful and sometimes I struggle but it’s far away from any bournout signs, so that’s enough for me right now. I really hope the results of your efforts will continue to show and you’ll get your motivation back. But until then, I‘m very thankful for your relatable content!

[@badandbookiee9081]

I can tell you haven’t been the same since the fire. Your aura is different and that’s normal. I just want you to know that it’s ok to not be ok. And don’t ever think there’s a deadline or expiration date for you to feel like yourself again or GYST. And if you have to keep reinventing yourself and your routines until you find a good place again, that’s ok, we will always support you 😊 we support you being human❤️

[@rachelleea]

Thank you so much for being here! x

[@susanmorris5520]

I agree totally with Stephany. Gos Bless you always!❤️🙏🏻

[@Klara_is_finding_herself]

This is helping me: 1. Coffee 2. Meeting people 3. Visiting museum 4. Yoga 5. Reading self help books

[@Holdmymawashi]

Yes, those few seconds of bliss of not remembering when you wake up and then you’re hit with a wave of all the horrible things happening in the world. Studies show that despite the changes to our lives, eventually people feel normal again... so that’s something to look forward to. Just takes time...

[@madnessofmymind]

I suppose I live a fairly sheltered life. I'm not terribly inconvenienced or annoyed by much of anything going on. It's frustrating to remember to wear things over your face, especially when claustrophobic and prone to overheating VERY quickly. But it's a small price if I keep the time it's on short. The first 3 months (Mar-May) were an absolute pleasure for me as I got to be home all day, every day. No hardship at all. Going back into the office has been mental and physical torture. What I learned during all this is to find something that I can do, at home, to make me money, and not have to be in an office any longer. I've set a deadline, and it's time to get busy! But as super introvert - I could go more than a week without people and be super happy. Though still texting maybe would be ok. But no actual talking/seeing. Just me and the cat(s).

[@JasmineJohnson]

This was perfect timing for me! I need to fix my routine and habits 🥰

[@ritalifestyle8788]

Hi j can ufolow me plz

NSW-sider here, and feeling for you guys in lockdown again! Thank you for your inspiration and real life vids! 💜

[@Kayla-yv7wc]

I really loved this video. It's so nice to hear someone be so real. I'm so glad you mentioned that doing these things likely won't feel good, but will make a change. In ED recovery, we refer to well.. eating.. as mechanical eating. You don't want to do it but you just do. It's just what you do. Eventually it makes you feel better. This video was like mechanical habits. It's just what you do, and eventually it makes you feel better. I reallyyyy loved this!!!!

[@PurpleFaerieMagic]

I love your videos. They feel so relatable right now. I’m also trying to find hobbies. I’m going to start quilting now. Hope I can find some more hobbies I like.

[@linneylou]

Canadian boyfriend 😁 No wonder you want to get back over there & have been feeling off! How frustrating for you ❤

Honestly needed this! I feel like lately I haven’t had the motivation to do a lot of stuff, so thank you!

[@alejandracastillo6327]

I've loved your last few videos, I understand that feeling of not wanting to go to sleep at night. I thought I was alone and couldn't express the reason but thank you for sharing this video!

[@maddienorris]

You look stunning today 😍😍 those are the cutest rollerblades I've ever seen! Keep going girl you're doing so well ❤️

[@AO-nq3kw]

Feeling the same girl.. hard getting up in the morn and doing ground hog day.

[@Holdmymawashi]

No one could put it better! Groundhog Day is so true 😑

[@carolynmartinez8565]

I am so glad you're being honest with us. Don't be afraid to reach out to your family and friends to vent if you need to. They are here for you just like we all are. Y ou will overcome this, for now, it is okay to be in a slump if you need to, just remember you aren't alone. You should do a live to engage with your followers if you are interested. I would love that. Social media can be toxic, even though you work for it. Animal crossing is super relaxing if you're interested

[@Mari-bj6lr]

Take our time for yourself no one is perfect like watching our videos and that u r been honest in this video do whatever makes u happy

[@tayakenny]

Can you do a tutorial on what hair extensions you use/how you style them? Your hair looks great! I also love it short, you look great with both!

If you live in Australia, it’s winter right now and seasonal depression is a thing! It gets my every year and I never realise it’s the weather that’s got me! Just in case it’s something you haven’t thought of xx

[@parnianyahya9260]

I really miss your previous vidoes and apartment in melbourne which you lived in before going to Canada, but you are still inspiring and make me feel good about myself and my tiny healthy habbits which makes me progress during these hard days 💕💕💕💕

[@rachelleea]

Thank you, I miss it too! One day I'll have somewhere a bit nicer but this is hopefully temporary :)

[@natachaguyot]

I love this video so much! I appreciate that you say that habits matter even if we still have bad days (we're humans) because they change things! So relatable! That's awesome that you're playing video games with your boyfriend! My husband and I were long distance until we got married, and we spent hours playing World of Warcraft together! When I started 2020, I was committed to build sustainable healthier habits bit by bit, and so far it's been a success. I've been exercising everyday, and when recently I realized I had no more motivation, I have just been making sure I do 10k steps every day, so I still move my body! I've been tracking calories which has helped me so so much! I also pull a tarot or oracle card everyday, do my skincare (I slacked end of last year), and in the last couple of months meditate (even if it's for a short time). Hobby-wise, I alternate between bursts of gaming, reading, TV watching, and roleplaying depending on the mood. :)

[@rachelleea]

Sounds like a good bunch of hobbies. How long were you guys apart for? I always love hearing other stories cause it makes me feel not so alone

[@natachaguyot]

Rachelleea we were apart for 2 years and mostly saw each other during the summer as he was working full time and I was doing all my PhD course and exams! We still talked every day and often played WoW together! And we’ve been married and living together for a little over a year now and doing quarantine together well!

[@marykearns5831]

Hey Rachel! I would appreciate a flat lay tutorial, I am obsessed with your Instagram pictures/flat lays and love how realistic and cozy they all are!😍

This is such good vibes and so glad to see you smile Rachel. It warms me up 😫🧡

[@sarayroman25]

I feel exactly like you girl! Love this video. Saludos desde España ❤️❤️

[@skytealicious]

I think the way society nowadays focuses on exercise is not the right way to go. It is fine if you enjoying working out in a sport school but my experience is that people who focus on doing something they actually like and enjoy is way to more sustainable and brings more relaxing. I mean, I am all for Class Pass if you like doing a variety of things but reality is that most people don’t actually enjoy the experience. So high five to you for taking roller blading as your exercise! My exercise is ballet dance classes cause I enjoy the choreo, the moving, the music and the elengance of it all. See, multiple reasons why I am doing it, which is why it never feels like exercise but more like a healthy, relaxing, enjoyable hobby 🙂

[@rachelleea]

Yes, you definitely need to have some kind of passion, whether it's for the enjoyment or it's working for you and what your health/ lifestyle goals are. Love it when it feels more like a hobby than 'exercise' 🙌🏻

[@JenLauren]

I track calories. Some people find it triggering. I’m ok with it, it’s not an addiction or anything I just like to see what I’m consuming

I love your hair, can I ask what hair dresser you go to in Melbourne? I moved to Melb few years ago and it is such a struggler to find a good one, had some really bad experiences :( and yeah can't find something I would be happy about. Also so great to have found you, wish there would be more Melbourne or Australian KZbinrs...

[@shrutirajesh9240]

you look so content here. sending you love xxxx

[@susanmorris5520]

Good afternoon Rachelle. I haven’t been checking your video for sometime. The last time I checked your videos was when you had moved to Canada and we’re loving it. Then unfortunately the fires happened in Australia and may I say how so very sorry I am to have heard that on the news. I did think of you and your family and was hoping that you all were safe and alright. I do understand you moving back to Australia and being with your family and so sorry that your mom had lost her home too. So, you are going to be living in Australia and then travel to Canada from time to time? Of, are you going to eventually go back permanently? I think you are very pretty. I have been feeling like not wanting to wake up in the mornings. I am on dialysis three days a week and I just don’t feel like doing it anymore. But, I still do. I am a happy person and do love life but just am not into this dialysis thing even though I have been doing it for 12yrs. God bless you and keep the faith and always tell yourself that “This too shall pass”. It always does. Hugs and love to you too, Sue(Clearwater, Florida USA)❤️🌼😺🙏🏻😘👼🌸😎☀️🌴❌⭕️❌⭕️

[@liliansharin]

How did you suddenly fall asleep between 10:00/10:30? I have bad sleep schedule because of a lot of stress I can’t fall asleep. I want to change it to normal times but when I go to bed at lets say 11:30 pm, I fall asleep at the end of the night. Setting my alarm click then at a “normal” time makes me lose so much sleep that I am a zombie after four days. I am beyond frustrations and I am almost ready to give up.

[@rachelleea]

Stopped being on technology from 8pm and would literally just sit on the couch and stare at the wall or fold washing or something really boring

[@samanthavr3590]

If you have a night time routine your mind will be like ok nearly sleep time! Also lower light, less technology and just small changes over time. Also if you're not tired enough try more exercise to tire yourself out. This is what works for me x

[@liliansharin]

Rachelleea thanks. Yeah using technology to have something to do is hard to put away. But sometime an audiobook helps me sometimes. But I gonna try folding laundry then instead 😀

[@sarahernsater763]

I don't know about international travel in australia but it's picking on in many countries now.. soon enough i think it will resume all over the world.. i think something that might be very helpful to you now is to plan for your move to canada. I know you already had everything set before the pandamic but that was months ago and so many things must have changed since. Planning and sorting your stuff and preparing might be exactly the boost you need.. this way you are ready with not a second to waste once international travel is available.

[@rachelleea]

Yah I agree, international travel probably won’t be a regular thing until after 2022. Melbourne is strict but it’s a good thing. Couch potato for me 🙈
