Days in my Life: using exercise to stay focused

Ruby: reads 6 books in the span of 5 minutes Me: opens the page and gets distracted by the title 😂

[@gunjandeshmukh5665]

Aah so accurate i just closed my book

[@theavodkado]

Honestly? I'd rather get distracted by the title. Shows you're actually thinking about it. Six books in five minutes is certainly an exaggeration but 200 books a year or whatever Ruby's read doesn't seem productive. Also, her book reviews and comments sometimes seem shallow or like she's misunderstood the book idk. I'd rather spend a few minutes thinking about the title than rush through 200 books, fifty of which are children's books !!

[@samiraansari5686]

@@theavodkado Whoa there. Reading slow is fine, but so is reading fast. No need to become so judgmental. Besides, people read books for all kinds of reason- children‘s books are often read out of nostalgia, or to remember the things that used to make you happy in your childhood. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. You could have literally just said „Reading slow and thinking intently about things is cool too“ and instead you had to go and tear down the way Ruby reads. Not cool.

Ruby , I have been watching you since i had been through really hard times. You helped me get through it by not even being conscious i existed. You honestly saved my life ! Stay safe and well. x

[@anyadavis6095]

Hey Ruby, just FYI when you use your jade roller its best to only roll up and out, and not roll downwards on your face. This encourages your face to keep its elasticity, move blood around and combat the effects of gravity. This is also made easier if you use an oil or oilier moisturizer to lubricate the whole process and pull your skin less ❤️

Your room looks so cosy after the little "makeover". And more space for exercise, yay! Yes, walks work wonders for a new perspective! Also, I now have serious literary jumper envy.

[@EmilyJane14]

I'm always inspired by your videos, but this one struck me in particular! I, too, can relate to the "lots of sitting to do work" these days and have felt so disconnected from daily moments I used to cherish. Learning to stay present has become a priority, so you struck a chord there during your morning walk clips! I think I'll take a morning walk tomorrow, too, and do a yoga flow after this video ends. Thank you for sharing your beautiful words of inspiration and encouragement!

I live in Northern Ireland and many of our censuses were destroyed. I wish we still had them because they're so useful for tracking family history, it's left me with so many gaps :(

[@priscillareads]

I mean seriously though, I could never get sick of watching Ruby’s videos.

[@anwesadas25]

Can we just talk about how aesthetic and motivational Ruby's videos are? I wasn't in the mood to be productive recently, but just watching her videos makes me want to be productive.. Is there anyone else how has gone through what I have gone through?

[@sophiameewis7256]

hahahah that is so TRUE

[@Rinzler.14]

The life writing module looks super interesting, plus I think you could really relate to it because of how you chronicle your life and share it with all of us on youtube.

[@Rinzler.14]

I think a video on how to decide on uni modules would be cool. By the way are you doing second or final year?

[@Rinzler.14]

My most favourite module was on Greek Myths i was so sad when it ended :( The post mod depression was so bad. My second favourite was on Archaeology. Both modules had the best professors, who made learning so much fun. I miss those good old days.

I’m sure your professors are happy that at least someone has their camera on in seminars, it must be sad looking at student names the entire time

[@RubyGranger8]

This is exactly why I do it! I find it so much easier to talk when it’s to a face myself! x

If you sometimes get back pain from sitting so much, I'd really recommend a proper office chair and/or a desk you can change from sitting to standing. It made all the difference for me! And as soon as it gets a little warmer, it's really really nice to do your morning yoga outside. :)

[@fruiteend]

The best tip I can give you is to try and find something you actually enjoy. I absolutely despise at home workouts where you just keep repeating sit ups and push ups and burpees and what not, but I love doing some yoga in the mornings and evenings and going on a run every once in a while. I'm also trying to learn how to skateboard which is exercise as well! And remember that dancing around in your room counts too ;)

I feel like I’d would enjoy Pe, however I am considered a “bigger girl therefore I feel like I’m being judged by my physical ability all the time :/

[@sarahdaestrela6098]

@@katie.eq1434 That was me, too. It's hard! But so what if they judge? Would you really rather let their judgment get in the way of something you could otherwise enjoy? Joining club sports teams really helped me. It's exercise, but you're part of a team, and the focus is on the game and not your body or your individual athleticism.

[@carbmg]

@@katie.eq1434 same... I wasn't big but clumsy so, bullies loved me. I recommend you to do some "fake" exercise like dance or walk or take the stairs... You can do it at home and it helps to move yourself and have fun! I put on a playlist I made with the name "Happy" and do chores almost dancing. Find your own unique way 😉

Another interesting idea regarding de Quincey is how the essay you mentioned is in part a follow up to his Confessions of an English Opium-Eater (highly recommend!) in which he’s sort of capitalising on his ‘scandalous’ persona (de Quincey wasn’t a rich man and was earning a living in the periodical press, although his real ambition was to join the Romantic school - he actually lived at Grasmere for a time after Wordsworth moved out). Can really sense in his writing the transition from Romanticism to Victorian sensibilities and (as you say) the beginnings of literary decadence. :)
