I do love your videos Renee but I would put annotations when you say 'disappear for 3 weeks or just disappear' add what i assume you meant from SOCIAL MEDIA. I know a lot of youngsters going missing in my local area 'and they may interpret you meaning to disappear as in run away'. It worries me that people will see this and not realise the impact if they disappeared as they were given positive opinions that it is ok to disappear. Thank you for reading :)

[@lizsim]

Those mirrors you put on each side of your bed looks like you added 2 windows. This is such a great decorating idea

[@mirabella2154]

Bad idea. Mirrors are portals. If you have to have them, never in the bedroom.

[@stayhappylittlemermaid]

Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.

[@sk3921]

I feel like this is such practical, relatable advice that I could actually use right now. Love it, thank you!! 😊

[@chelseaquackenbush2862]

You are absolutely glowing in your recent videos. You are beaming with smiles and confidence, and I am here for it! So glad that you’re happy 💛

[@HarryThomasPictures]

I've been struggling so much in my personal life this past year but have finally found hope for the future recently. You are a ray of sunshine that turns cloudy days into sunny days Renee☀️, thank you so much for these tips❤!

[@Starla76]

Ugh this video spoke to me so much! Thanks for making this masterpiece! 💖

[@rex250]

i'm so proud of you that you got happier again, i'm working on it :))

[@nathansteele779]

I’m really glad you’re ok again, your videos have been helping through a tough time mentally recently. I can’t thank you enough for being inspirational and your content being such a comfort for me. ❤️

[@v25485]

Thank you so much for this! I’ve been in a depressed rut lately and this is exactly what I needed! Sending love to you Renee!

[@claudialorna4927]

Love the idea of giving a theme to your day!

[@pondertoday2024]

Thank you for your this video! "Never think it's too late to start over"👏👏👏

[@HelloPritty808]

I love seeing other people happy, thriving, and loving life. What a blessing and joy it is. Happy for you and I love your positive channel 💕

[@ReneeAmberg]

You’re such a special person for this 💕

[@jadesjourneyblog]

Loved this! ❤️❤️❤️

[@MrsMine-bo2lb]

so happy to hear you are doing better Renee!!

[@Klara_is_finding_herself]

I'm so glad for you, Renne, that you're feeling better 🙏 It's definitely okay to be selfish sometimes without feeling guilty! Stay safe, strong and healthy 💚💜

[@kait9445]

Happy for you Renee! You are strong girl!

[@raeleenikole]

I had the same realization lately about being in the victim mentality and how much it was preventing me from feeling gratitude / taking accountability for my circumstances. I think media consumption encourages this now more than ever by highlighting other people's lives in our face everyday all while keeping us distracted and procrastinating from taking action in our own. I was actually searching for the antonym for victim the other day and I love yours. Absolutely relate to the in-between season as well. It's really just about being at peace with holding space for what life has in store next.

[@nics.panacci9975]

Yes girl!! I did the same disappeared to focus on myself for a few months. Happy too see you happy again :) do what makes you happy! Glad too see your back ❤️

[@madeleinepousar]

Happy to hear you’ve been feeling better! I’m also struggling to find peace in the ”steady” sections of life. But it’s important to remember that that’s the times for rest and reflection to set new goals and just enjoy life! 😀❤️

[@poppycalliope]

I love seeing you glow and green looks amazing on you ✨ this video was very helpful, we all get into that funk sometimes !

[@JessicaMichelleVids]

I’m so happy for you Renee!!

[@emad_abas]

Hello I am Emad from Iraq I am 27 I would contact someone online😁

[@mariaglowup1717]

I feel this so muchhhhh! I took a break too & literally it's like I followed all theses Syros without knowing it! I just love this! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@TessaMoore]

i REALLY needed this video wow. I'm in such a weird waiting and transition period right now which has been really bringing me down so this video was so so so nice to watch for some new strategies to get back on track

[@vickyjwalters]

Great ideas lovely, so happy you’re excited again especially about YT 💕💕💕

[@stevenrsnyder4463]

Love your inspirational videos Renee, keep up the great work 😊

[@JessicaHearsey]

I did not know I needed this video but I so did. Thank you. You describe exactly “not feeling anything” thanks for the inspiration to start again.

[@crazychristmas100]

Renee, great idea to keep to yourself for a period of time. I'll try it. It really resonated with me. I think it re-energizes you in a way.

[@cheyennesmith1838]

I can tell you are GROWING!! & it looks so beautiful on you!

[@alitainwonderlandofficial]

Love this video so much! Your tips and the resetting your apartment video has really motivated me into changing up my space and lifestyle habits! I'm only on day three but I'm already starting to feel better and and I'm excited to keep going!

[@leafkat7827]

So happy for you 💕✨

[@KatieSev]

I freaking love this

[@millennialsaint9023]

Hey it’s so amazing that you talk about these imp things. Congratulations for overcoming all. 🎉

[@elhamaliehyaee4292]

I’ve been trying things that you just talked about it and now that I’ve watched this, I feel even more confident about making this decision! It came like a little sign to me;) thank you for that♥️

[@milan9904]

Thank you for this, 100 times thank you. I need to hear this.

[@sbazeghi]

Withdrawing from hyponormal stimulation of online and digital stimulation. But then once that passes, you find equanimity and the simple joys in life, like you mentioned happened. Thanks for sharing so candidly and proud of you for getting off most social media. I stopped in 2017 and haven't looked back- see there's always KZbin haha ;) xx

[@karentulk5735]

Hay Renee, gosh how I resonate with you, your outlook on life and your transition at the moment. I am in a shift right now, not sure what direction my life will take but can resonate with your words so much. Love your content.🧡

[@angellyndoss8823]

I really loved this video! I have been craving doing the things you mentioned in this video, but have been stopped by guilt - that I couldn't do it all or that I'd let somebody down....but really I was just letting myself down and living for other people! I love that I never leave your videos in a negative headspace, thank you for that! 🤍

[@ReneeAmberg]

that makes me so happy ❤️

[@fatimaalabed4816]

your simplicity make me wanna just relax, you are awsome and difference that's why i love you

[@truecollar9059]

You are beaming ✨

[@NadMartineau]

this is something so many people need help with. thank you for sharing

[@indigospirit98]

Oh I L❤️VE it.... You did an excellent job explaining how to get unstuck. This time (past 6months) have been this way for sooo so many people in my life. I believe that this time, was a pause for this great awakening that is happening collectively across the planet for so many of us🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 ❤️

[@TheALife23]

I need this lately I been sad this guy I was talking to stop talking to me and idk why when it comes to guys felt worthless and then social media makes me sad and I don't have much friends online anyway but I always check it sun up to sun down and I been depressed and sad and not taking care of me or my health and I felt like a big trash can and i felt like a zero I have people in my social media life who are nega5to my energy and today I am taking a break from social media and my phone in general I needed this video

[@MikesVegas]

Great Video Renee ❤️

[@gracecunningham1863]

I know this exact feeling - really trying to get excited and move forward again. Super relatable - thank you!

[@linarach]

I love your life advice videos.. Thank you!

[@iamdemystify]

Love you Renee ❤️

[@AdrieneRenae]

Looove the mirrors and paint!! Makes such a difference and refresh 🤗

[@stephanielake11]

I need to do a major "reset" on my life too....am glad you're feeling happier again!!

[@MariJadeWrites]

Great video, thank you for sharing! I recently found joy for learning things again and I am having fun learning about how games are made, making pixel art and more, so nice to learn new things :)

[@Rise2392]

I needed to hear this as I'm am going through the EXACT state of mind that you described.thanks

[@dollysarkar3282]

You touched on a lot of things I have been going through lately, thanks for sharing, I now know it’s just not me. I personally think it’s very brave to say these things out and needs lot of skill to structure them in a way others can follow. Amazing job on both aspects 🙂 again thanks ❤

[@byooteeluhver3]

Today is my birthday!!! Thank you for a great video :)

[@ReneeAmberg]

HAPPY FREAKING BIRTHDAY 🥳

[@cheyennesmith1838]

HAPPY LATE BELATED BIRTHDAY !!!

[@johnbehneman1546]

GREAT VIDEO RENEE!!!! I AGREE WITH YOU 100%. I NEED TO SIMPLIFY MY LIFE AND UPGRADE MY LIFE. AND I NEED TO RELAX MORE. I WORK WAY TOO MUCH.

[@reneefries1894]

SO needed this video! I've been feeling in such a rut with grad school, work, & planning a wedding for May 2023. It's been exhausting BUT I've decided to cut out social media for a awhile. It's been such a comparison game and distraction that I can't handle anymore. Thank you!

[@Courtney6]

Yes, I’m currently disappearing for the whole summer. With my time I’m slowing down, going on vacation to hike and be in nature and I’m writing a book to self publish at the end of summer 👌🏻 being offline since mid May has been amazing and not being exposed to ad after ad on Instagram and wherever else feels like I’m flying under some kind of radar. Lol. You don’t realize how much you’re targeted for ads and things until you log off. It’s actually disturbing. I feel freeeeeee. Happy summer!!!

[@ReneeAmberg]

right!!??

[@123spoon7]

I am also disappearing this summer. It certainly feels good to focus on the essentials in life!

[@parmidaasadi6157]

Hey Renee. You won't probably see this or care if you do. But I live in Iran, arguably one of the worst places a person can live in this world. I constantly fear for my freedom, I am not free to choose my religion or my clothes. I am not free to live with my boyfriend and have sex with him, in fact these things would have me executed. I do not have freedom of speech, or any other human rights for that matter. My life is so hard and I can't live another moment of it. I'm so stressed by everything that I rarely have a moment to be bored. Sometimes we take the things we have for granted. I would do anything to be living your life right now. Things will get better for you, and I hope someday for me too. Love you, P from Iran

[@waelfaraj6705]

Try to detach from this world. Be resourceful , be grateful and be statisified with what you have... Even in the west , there are hardships , because some people there suffer from depression and 40 percent of babies are born outside marriage ...There is substance abuse and some people get drunk . Love and light from Lebanon ... Please , see how you can improve your life even 1 percent a week and things would start step by step to improve ...

[@mirjam4117]

I'm so, so sorry for what you have to endure. My boyfriend is from Iran and he always tells me about life there... I can't imagine how you must feel. Know that we are constantly thinking of you and hoping for your freedom. Sending you endless love and strength! Mirjam from Germany ❤

[@denal4011]

I feel for you and your situation, and I'm praying things get better for you soon. But just like you vs. Renee, there are people out there that have it worse than you, too. The problem is, we can only know what we know. And anyone who struggles should not be made to feel that their struggle isn't valid because someone else has it worse. It's not a competition. It really is an internal battle with oneself based only on what WE know and have experienced. It's like trying to compare apples to onions. Blessings to you and yours!

[@stephanielake11]

Am praying for your happiness & freedom Parmida!! One of my best friend's is from Iran too, and she often mentions all the crazy things that has happened in Iran. If you can start a gratitude journal, I know it really helped me through some tough times. Also check out "Miracle Morning" by Hal Elrod and The Secret: The Law of Attraction (books & movies)!!

[@amandaholley8068]

I said a prayer for you. We take so much for granted.

[@ayasarsour2860]

Thank you very much😊

[@anitacarter8060]

Ahh.... yes sometimes you just have to restart, refresh and renew ...💥 And that may mean letting go of things that no longer serve you. 🥰 also make a gratitude 🙏🏻 list of the people and things in your life that you are grateful for..☺️

[@nicolewong7037]

You have to have your own podcast 😍

[@MihaelaClaudiaPuscas]

Yes, I can relate with that feeling of loosing interest and I really dislike when it happens!! Then I try to breath and accept the feeling then slowly come back to my normal state of excitement for this life and all my projects! Loved how you opened up with us in this video! So genuine! Loved it! Hello from Florence! 💝

[@normal6997]

Wow, that dope

[@normal6997]

I wish I can recover fast as you do

[@pansa00]

You are amazing

[@UdoADHD]

Omg you’re growing up! You look older, speak older, have more mature mannerisms… wow! So cool to watch you grow up. When I first found your channel you were like… a kid like a high School mentality

[@ataharali9254]

Really helpful tips, specially chapter days, change and disappear

[@imenelleuch1818]

I pressed the pause button and cleared my office desk and it fel great 🌸

[@prachipratyusha3463]

OMG your ending "screen" thing of you just living in peace with your life

[@mariahm1765]

I’d love to disappear for a few weeks but I have to go to work to pay my bills 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@jessicanussy]

hiiii, omg first time being early love youuu so muchhh💖💖💖 I know alot of people say this but I do feel inspired by you and how you live your life, you make me push and want to pursue this I’m scared to pursue sending love to you and your fam bam in florida✨ 💖 jess

[@ReneeAmberg]

LOVE hearing this ❤️❤️

[@sarahmakani662]

[@ReneeAmberg]

[@bullsgirl08]

Loved this video. Def been in a rut lately myself. I love your eyeshadow! Do you remember what you used?

[@mayintheclouds]

You would look soo good in a bob haircut, must be a big change but your hair grows fast anyway. I actually think it would look cute

[@tarasz6288]

I really wish i had more vacation time from work. What u r describing seems most effectively done in a nice chunk of time say at least a week to 10 days.

[@peninaclarke8755]

wop wop!

[@amyadams1653]

I feel when your in that in between stage your at an even flow. Your not real high and real low. Things are steady.

[@desireerichey1638]

I needed this BC going through this is really scary,.. wondering if its ever going to end! I'm still in it,and I've been learning about going through, The Dark Night of the Soul. It blew my mind. Most people go through this at least once in life. Its far deeper than depression. But to know its normal,and that you can come out of it better than before, gives me great hope. I feel like its a mandatory thing to go through to become a for real real adult. If that makes sense. Lol. For me at least. Anyway I really appreciate this video and your tips and advice. Btw,your hair looks so pretty. This has given me more hope. Thanks bunches girl,much love, and God bless.

I’m glad your finding joy again.✨ I had to slightly disappear for a bit recently too to find my creativity, get my house in order and focus on my kids and finding things that work, they have been a real handful lately.

Beautiful woman with ugly tattoos. Pain is the portal of joy I guess

[@komolikapujari-bp3nl]

I suddenly lose interest in life , i mean before this i was a very cheerful person i enjoyed everything i was focused goal oriented and worked hard but now I'm changed I've become a lazy person who don't have any passion & curiosity to know what's ahead

[@isabellevargas202]

Love that you're posting videos more frequently!!! yessss My birthday's July 3rd and I'm renting a house *in front of the beach* (here in Brasil) to spend a quiet birthday week celebrating with my family and I cannot wait😍💖

Hi am new, nice, stay happy😊❤️

[@Blujonny11]

My battery used to be 'drained' because I was a 'perfectionist' who relied on my own 'self-ambition' as my guiding light. It was a mistake. I reduced the amount of writing I worked on and now look at things like taking my two dogs (along with my mom's dog) to the beach with some (diet) orange soda and fried chicken and an umbrella every two weeks :) I try to help my mom out at her house with some of her gardening responsibilities. You really will 'burn out' again if your life is focused 'exclusively' on what's important to you, not your dogs or your mom ;) Just be a 'kid' again! You know what they say about 'all work and no play.' Psychologically speaking, our bodies understand 'relaxing' more when it actually experiences real 'fun' on a regular basis. It's pretty hard to 'relax' if our whole schedule is built around 'ambition' and 'notoriety.' Our memories with 'others' are what's important at the end of the day, not how much we've achieved in our own 'subjective' way. 'Openness' is extremely important to our 'long term' happiness. If we are too focused on our health as a kind of personal 'cult' or how many 'spiritual' books we read, we're becoming way too 'pigeon holed' and telling our brains that we're in some kind of 'self rendered' survival mode. Establishing 'real' relationships with our dogs, like taking them on consistent walks and playing with them is important. Having kids really does solve a lot of our 'long term' happiness issues especially when we create 'quality' lives with them. We 'have' to invest in our own 'relationships' with others. This goes beyond our 'partners.' Remember, life is not complicated, we just make it 'that way.'

[@katieh3695]

I think sometimes when someone is in a funk, they may be experiencing symptoms of a mental illness. I encourage anyone who is struggling with any mental health issue(s) to reach out for help and know that you are not alone. “Disappearing” when someone is experiencing depression may not be the best course of action.

[@maggiebranch9296]

Hey Renee

[@ruwi5683]

Cute

[@normal6997]

Enjoy slow life, feel lighter that is lighter burden, is it because i missed little things that brought me joy, i quickly feels bored, how to realize what is my problem, it does not have much impact on me, how took a step back and disappear, i got back to enjoy the little things, i want to recharging like kind just like realigning with myself, adakah semua menghadapi masalah yang serupa atau menghadapi masalah yang lain sikit, try to focus on one thing, how to reflect my own mistake, is rewatching anime will make you lost the hype to watch anime, is anybody can prove this theory is wrong, how to feel free in your life, when do you know if you find happiness in your life again, give yourself a permission to start over but give yourself permission to quit sometimes , sometimes simplifying you life means letting go of things in your life that no longer serve you, that not quitting that releasing the pressure and need of doing something that no longer makes you happy or has a purpose in your life, we need changes, change create excitement when i feel the lack of excitement, now i know i just need a little bit of change i need some stress, i was not stressed enough i know that weird, i feel like i was lacking a feeling, how to make me feel better

[@nightbird5317]

Live,laugh.love . Enjoy Your life . You only have one ☝️. Put the iPad down and enjoy. Very much needed in this world 🌎 especially now. Good on you Renee ( Bravo) ♊️💙
