Finding joy again // starting over vlog 03

[@iheartjunkfood]

Yes!!! Why do we feel like it's "too late" when we're literally in our 20's or 30's? The only time it's too late is when we're dead

[@ralph2312]

I needed to read this. Thank you. 🥺

[@belencita9526]

social media has made us feel like if we don’t succeed by 25, we’re forever failures

[@farrahmarson9804]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way

[@chloe-fy4wc]

It’s funny I sometimes feel it’s too late, but I’m only 16... Like gosh social media why did you do that to me

I was married for 9 years and divorced. 5 years later i met my prince and have been married for 38 year’s happily. Life is full of surprises and you have just started to live. i hope you have a beautiful life. I have and you can too. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰

[@didemtaskran5971]

When you said "people dont wanna see perfect people" I was internally screaming YES. It feels so healing and authentic to have the chance to observe and to be a part of what theyre actually going through, instead of the perfect picture that someone tried to draw of themselves. This video really made me want to comment this because after a very long and hard day, this video felt like just sitting down and having a talk with a person you know.

[@CiaraGan]

shayna, you literally never fail to put a smile on my face 🤍 you are so unique and i’m grateful for your energy!!! ☀️

[@honeypotfilms6066]

woah was not expecting to see a comment from u here haha

[@sirenesque]

I almost managed to keep it together until the credits, where a simple “I’m rooting for you” caused me to shed a few tears. You’re a doll

[@hexaeda6037]

yes!! me too

[@MarleeCM]

I started a tradition with myself where I spent New Years Eve alone, order really great Chinese food, and watch a good movie. I’ve done it several years in a row. The only reason I didn’t do it this year was because one of my best friends lost her brother at the beginning of December and she wanted to spend NYE with friends and her bf ❤️ I love being alone. Too much so sometimes.

[@autumnroberts3086]

I SOOOOOOOOOO needed this on this cold California morning. I am going into my 2nd job this morning to do something I’ve NEVER DONE!!!!!! I’m an RN and I’ve starting teaching but I got tapped to do theory instead of an area I was completely comfortable with so.......TODAYS IM GOING TO KICK ASS AND BE AWESOME!!!!!! Oh and I’m 48😬👍🏻🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I cried wenn you danced, it felt so pure and raw. Thank you for reminding us that joy can be found in the simplest things!

[@Katherout]

I loved when you said that cemeteries are a place that bring you peace because that's how i feel about your channel!

[@natcheong]

healing is so important. thank you for sharing parts of your journey with us

[@thepurplepalace85]

thank you

[@leminasyan]

Recently I went through a similar situation to yours and this sentence "People don't want to see perfect people, they wanna see people that they can really connect to" hit me deeply, I even wrote it down in my journal․

[@maitreyibanerji]

I'm a new subscriber and I crying watching this because I was having such a hard time for the past 3 years. And this year I've been through so much healing. It just reminded me of what I've been through. Thank you for this.

[@EsraaNur07]

I've done your method today I woke up and I said to myself: Today is going to be joyfull I've danced, painted, drunk great coffee, eaten nice food with pleasure, had nice talk with my friends, danced!, studied :D, played with my cat and I mostly done these everyday but today I gave it myself from heart and these were beautiful. I felt very active and had this awareness of what I am exactly doing. You really inspire me it is past midnight now, my neighboors possibly see me but now I'll dance more

[@girlinthestorybook8276]

Getting out of bed in winter is so hard, I feel you 💔 Especially when it seems there is nothing to look forward to in the day, and your bed seems like a warm refuge from the world. Sometimes the only answer is to make it your mission to enjoy the day. And as long as you're enjoying yourself nothing else matters.❤️❤️

[@bykchoi]

Beautiful ❤️

[@hervedupont6955]

MERCI BEAUCOUP

[@zionmiller9675]

@kchoi you’re an inspiration

[@JuleahEverglade]

this series is everything. i think its healing you and us simultaneously. keep creating love. xx

[@CynthiaAva]

I am enjoying these videos so much. I can't help but find some kind of connection between your neighborhood then and now...what those neighborhoods represent and why you moved. I don't know much about you but --maybe it's the English professor in me...I am writing your back story in symbolism and metaphor. You are more aligned with yourself now. You are where you belong.

[@Littlmouse]

Would love a morning dance play list so I can wake up and vibe with my favourite real life art fairy!

[@annastayziaa]

I truly adore you. thank you for existing and thank you for your videos

[@Mary-mj9mf]

''My favourite things day" ....I love this idea and I'm going to start this little tradition with myself from now on xx

[@ellaholmes9338]

healing is not linear and that is more than okay, and thank u for showing that. your content is beautiful and raw and real. so thank u. much love and sending hugs.

yassss 🙌🏻 “fuck that shit, that’s not who we are in 2021”. quote of the year 💜

[@rafacurtinovi]

i find it so weird and amazing how just seeing you go through all this process of kind of finding yourself (in a way?) again and getting back to what makes you happy also makes at least me have this super strong will to also do what i love and what makes me happy, i feel like even though i've never really exchanged a single word with you i can connect sooooooo deeply to what you talk about and what you show in your videos and i sure am here for it :) ily shayna

[@Studiosheean]

such an artsy queen!

[@thepurplepalace85]

thank you!!

[@annastayziaa]

13:05 yeeesss!!

[@MayoUtuk]

I personally think the best way to life is by 100% authentically being ourselves and accepting ourselves for who we are, what we have and even where we live. Finding your channel in 2020 helped me see that. 💡 A life I Once hated has become a life I can't wait to document and share with the world. You made me accept myself and now all I can say is that You are indeed a gift 🌟

[@caitlinhofer5449]

I feel like i’m gunna be a small fish in a big pond here but i’ve been just indulging in your videos; i’ve found you in a really dark place in my life. I just want to say that I appreciate your message of just being yourself and to not be afraid of self expression. It just feels nice to not feel alone. Thank you for this channel and these beautiful videos Shayna 💛

[@bucketlistadventureskrs]

✨when some has control of your mind they have control of your emotions...how you view the world, yourself & others...do not absorb, react or respond to abusive personalities...the soul is never happy if the ego is always bruised...there’s nothing more peaceful than connecting with your own soul, it’s the most powerful relationship you will ever have

[@Jo_around_the_world76]

Having a favorite day is the best idea in the world. I wrote it down in my goals journal 👩‍🏫. I'm a new subscriber, but you inspire me so much. I'm binge watching your video's now. Love your bright personality 🤗💕

[@MarissaJanelleWard]

This energy of "we're all here to support each other." I am drinking this in with a damn STRAW!

[@randomcomment7675]

Gosh your „videos“ (pieces of art I mean) really send me into another reality... and at the same time they always feel like coming home

[@asiajoanna1155]

your vlogs are unbelievably healing for me. that advice about not caring that you've never done something before spoke straight to my soul. thank you have a wonderful and amazing year Shayna xx

[@MOONBATHING98]

Shayna, you are such a gorgeous soul and these videos are so touching and raw and just fill my heart so much!!!!! I am sending you so much love 💕💕💕💕

[@hottubfullofducks4653]

The calming music, inspiring talks and beautiful images. I wanna jump up and do things! 💚

[@kristinandj]

Same as you, I make distance even with close friends because I don't want them to see my pain, my weirdness, my anger, my thoughts... 2021 is gonna be the year for me to give my confidence and affirming myself, being authentic and living for me without the fear of others. So happy to have discovered your personality through this beautiful YTB channel

[@annybrembeck6121]

I wish you luck and happiness and that your journey is going to successful

[@ralph2312]

I'm the same. Learning to be more open with people who I trust and respect (and who reciprocate) is hard, but worth it. It's good to get out of your own head. Good luck!!!

[@leabodmer1185]

your videos are filmed so beautifully, they make me take a step back and look for beauty in the smallest things

[@Erica-jn1pq]

I adore your spirit and strength

[@michellemeyer1214]

I LOVE your energy and I love the setting your intentions first thing in the morning!!!!! And.....I agree 100% with going to cemeteries. I'm Sicilian so going to the cemetery is totally part of my culture. It's not the dead you have to worry about. It's the living. I'm sending you love, hugs and positive energy....❤️

[@EllieJayden]

This video made me feel nice and relaxed. I love the idea of having a day where you just do all the things you love. So simple but so profound.

[@Experimentalpeach]

YES! There's so much value in not being perfect. Flaws are dynamic and beautiful and we should share them with the world and not be afraid to be vulnerable

[@laurenaliciaaily]

Can you drop your dance playlist?!! 🥰

[@groovewithki]

I'm not going to lie, these last few videos you have posted have shown such a different more vulnerable side we haven't seen before & I must say, its refreshing. I really feel you in these videos, thank you for documenting these hard times. It allows me to enjoy my down days which always transfer to creativity (when i allow it in) So thank you.

[@valerieduguay4852]

[@colleenthecatlady2344]

I like the way your window is slanted!!! You can hear the 🌧️!!!

[@The_artistic_yogi]

Loved that video!!! And totally agree about connection and authenticity!!! You can connect online to like minded people of there aren't many physically around you... And being true is so important!!!! The world has enough of fake perfect people. I am looking for true, messy in the process of healing people because that's what life is all about! Thank you for being you 🧡

You are A JOY!!! I'm soooooooo glad I found you!!!! 😆 😆 😆

[@HH-dj2wt]

Thank you for sharing your healing process with us. My own journey of healing has felt so rough lately, but this has inspired me so much to actively pursue joy. I’m definitely adding dancing to my morning routine! :)

[@ralph2312]

Keep going with the process!!! They call it 'The Work' for a reason. Work at it everyday with determination.

This is just what I needed. I’m 52, solo parent of three (amazing) humans and trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up (closed my practice and walked away from my career last Fall). You make me smile and uplift me while I sort it all out... merci! Can’t wait to learn more about your self publishing adventure and all that you do in 2021! Santé!

[@almedast]

I love your soul and your videos. You gave me so much inspiration to keep on going with my dreams. Because of you, I started journaling and manifesting, then I found spirituality and my life changed completely, all because of you, so thank you so much for doing what you do and your content, you are really inspiring. Hope you get better and better each day. ❤

shayna, your videos are so healing!! I come back and watch them over and over every time I want to be uplifted. Thank you dearly for sharing your spirit!!!

[@madisonpope5304]

I have been in such a creative rut for the last few years, and I didn't even realize it. I have chosen the STEM path, which I love, but since being in college and now graduate school, it consumes my whole life. I'm never asked to focus on the creative aspects of my life. Growing up I was always into painting and physical 3D mediums. I am farther and farther away from my creative-self that I used to define myself as when I was in middle school and high school. The last few months I have been trying to focus on that creative energy, both in the act of creating, but also in the spontaneity of my life and the perspective of my experiences. I am starting to feel so inspired now. And in a way, I didn't realize I was missing until I started to have it again. I am so in love with your energy. Your presence brings me to tears because you can take nothing and bring meaning to it just by looking at it with intention. You have already taught me so much and I appreciate you taking the time to share your life here.

[@IsItNaptimeYetVlogs]

I am so grateful to have found you and your channel! Your light and energy is something that is so desperately needed in this world! As for you saying you're never too old...that is so true. I left a 16-yr abusive marriage at the end of 2019 and started a new life, just me and our 6 kids. The kids are thriving and I have found a happiness and freedom I have never had before. Keep shining your light, babe!! 💜

[@philippepaquet8154]

Merci Shayna :) À chaque fois que je viens faire un tour sur ta chaîne j'en repars rempli de vitalité et de poésie. Bon courage pour cette nouvelle année.

Ah! Shayna! I can't get through a video of yours without laughing and also crying... I am so looking forward to hearing about the self publishing process of your poetry collection! I have always had in the back of my head to publish my own poetry. You are an inspiration! And thank you for your little messages at the end of your videos. They always feel like a warm hug that I can cry into

[@alondraquezada286]

im not crying 😭 ❤️🎉 I found you through Damon’s videos and I’ve been keeping up for a while. Ahhhh, I’m grateful for your vulnerability and openness. It makes me want to create even more. My 2020 was a good art year and I’m excited to do more and push myself out of my comfort zone try new realms of painting, videos, photography, etc. 😊🎉❤️

[@patsywhiddon1832]

I spent my first Christmas by myself this year! It made some of my family upset, a little, not that much, but I chose to be by myself. It was the most peaceful day, I listened to Mooji talk about Christ in a wonderful Satsang. I ate what I wanted, when I wanted. I contacted only those I wanted to. I forced myself to be honest, what do you really want to do on this Holy day? ME, I want to do ME, MYSELF and I. It was so great to enjoy a holiday on my own. I am finally at peace on my own, almost three years it has taken but so worth the journey. I enjoy your video's so mucn because I can totally relate to your thoughts and feelings. Thank you for being so brave. Love and Light to you and your journey.

[@ki4ni]

Nothing makes me feel held quite like your videos. Thank you for always being so raw and real ❤️

[@cheyfrost]

I thought I would share my goal for this year as well. I would like to be authentic to myself, to develop my gender identity and to overall become someone closer to the image I make of myself and to find joy in little things so I can feel happy again. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and all of your viewers.
