[@marocdiamante]

Carrie Rad im so proud at you sweetheart💜

[@_britparks]

Please start a podcast and cover topics like this one.

[@CarrieRad]

Ive been thinking about this a lot lately

[@sameoldlove55]

Carrie Rad yes!!!!!

[@Blueopall]

Carrie Rad Yes please do it ❤️

[@kaylaandorfer447]

Yes PLEEEEASE your voice is so calming too!

[@marinamilton7490]

this basically is a podcast lol...i just listen to it like a podcast, but I agree; i would prefer a podcast as well!

[@izabellapardinho2784]

You know, sometimes we're in the need of friends and someone that understands us and cares about us, someone we can talk to and we don't have that person, but the work that you and people like you do, Carrie, just plays that role in our lives and helps us out, comforts us in a way that you can't begin to imagine. Thank you for being my friend today

[@lauras.6685]

Carrie. I can’t thank you enough for your words. This video brought me to tears, because you really spoke to my heart. And I realize your words are the inner dialogue I should have within myself. I have this notebook I bought a while ago, I wanted to use it as my new journal because my current one is almost finished. I think I’m gonna start it today, by talking about this #selfcaresummer, and setting good intentions for myself. Because I’m tired of hating myself and tearing myself down all the time. Sorry for this long comment, and THANK YOU. ❤️🌞

[@lauras.6685]

As for my passion, to be honest, I’m having a hard time finding what it is ! Gotta seek that too i guess 🤔👸🏻

[@AnnaHazel17]

My biggest passion in life is reading!! Its cliche but it always calms me x

[@antwto8784]

‘You can’t expect others to love you if you don’t love yourself’ - the very quote my own family drilled into my head for years and years. And yes it was very accurate, low self esteem gets you walked all over. Self-love may seem like arrogance/narcissism but it also eludes confidence and nothing is more attractive and inspiring to people than confidence. So learn to love yourself everyday, you will notice how much better life is when you do.

[@juliemccullough4592]

My biggest passion in life is friendship, which I think relates a lot to self love an what you discuss in this video! Throughout my life, nothing has made me feel more whole and worthy than my incredible lasting friendships. My friends and I support each other through absolutely everything. Helping my friends makes me feel so good, almost like I'm helping myself by proxy. When my best friend struggles with anxiety, I help her and tell her that the feeling will pass and reassure her that she isn't alone in her feelings. When I struggle with anxiety, I remember what I told my best friend and it becomes easier to work through it on my own. I think this is why it's so important to treat others the way we treat ourselves and vice versa- we're all human, we're all connected, loving and caring for yourself can help you to do the same for those around you :)

[@josepha133]

Regarding setting boundaries for yourself: I‘ve really lerned this recently because some members of my family constantly want to tell how I should live my life and always comment on what I‘m doing wrong in their eyes. In recent weeks I‘ve started subjecting myself less and less to their criticism simply by staying away from them. That sounds harsh and I really do love them, but I‘m in a much better mood if I don‘t give them the possibility to criticise me :) Plus, I‘m gay and while in an ideal world I‘d feel comfortable coming out to all the people in my life, I‘ve come to the conclusion that I don‘t want to come out to those particular people because I already know that they would be far from happy about it, so I‘m simply not going to give them the possibility to make me feel bad about something that‘s not actually bad :)

[@josepha133]

Also, I loved the casual set up of this video, it made it feel really personal.

[@CarrieRad]

I'm so glad you liked the first episode in the series. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences. You are obviously so incredibly strong and I'm proud of you for setting boundaries for yourself. Wishing you all the luck with everything and can't wait to chat more throughout this series with you

[@josepha133]

My biggest passion in life is writing! Literally ever since I learned how to read in first grade I‘ve had by nose in a book and even at that young age I already knew my dream occupation would be to write novels :) At the moment I‘m getting a bachelor‘s degree in british and american literature and I absolutely LOVE every second of it!

[@jimw966]

This was a wonderful first video for this series. I knew having you in my life in small way was a good thing. Thank you for this and I hope you have a fabulous day Carrie.

[@notmn8210]

My biggest passions? Making people smile and laugh! Motivating people to be themselves, having a great time. Learning and loving from people who are different from you.

[@kirstinegedde1497]

I love seeing other people having positive moments where they fx are nice to another person, are proud of themselves or just are having a good time. That is one thing, that gives me so much energy and positivity in the day.

[@sameoldlove55]

Finally someone did this REAL self love talk and that's you Carrie!! Ahhh l love it!!!!!!

[@elliedella]

Your voice is so calming,please start a podcast💜This video touched my heart.I always try to look like a strong,independent woman who loves herself,it’s like my defense.But I realized that I don’t show myself as much love as I should,I was in denial for a long time.Your words are so inspiring and make me wanna keep going to be the best version of myself.My greatest passion is helping and being genuine kind to people,it gives me so much joy.Thank you for this amazing video💙

[@marinamilton7490]

Getting my dog, Melody, was one of the best decisions in my life....especially for someone who struggles with depression / anxiety. I try and be the person my dog thinks I am.

[@lilboybutters5267]

I've been going to the mountains as my clarity escape. Starting at once a week. I just feel so pure and at ease once I'm up there. Then that leads to a week of happiness and clarity 😍

[@CarrieRad]

Sooo niiiice! I need that in my life ✨

[@Lovesongcalls]

My biggest passion is finding inner peace because what motivates which also my passion is raising a confident, happy and healthy daughter. It starts with me and my passion is to be better, to heal and get better. Divorce is not fun BUT through this I have learned to love myself and I'm reconnecting with myself a well.

[@NicholeCutting]

My biggest passion in my life at this moment is my children. They are the reason I get up in the morning and why I start my day and they just give me pure happiness.

[@lyndsiantoinette]

my passions in life are learning about other cultures and embracing them for being different and unique from the next. its so enlightening that we are all human yet we look so different and raised from different things. my other passion is making people laugh and seeing the smile i can put on their face because its so contagious to see someone else happy!

[@jamiecarter2192]

And you asked us what we are most passionate about - for me, it’s books (I LOVE reading and book shops) and moments with the people I love. I love nights out and spontaneous trips with my friends, or laughs with my family over food. I just love moments and I live for them.

[@marinamilton7490]

I really needed this....I've been STUCK and feeling like i've just been "getting by" in life. I am nowhere near to having reached my true potential / passion. I love myself to an extant...but since I was a child, because of my learning disability, I have never truly felt smart. My insecurities and fear of failure have 100% inhibited me from finishing my degree, and moving on to greater things. Truly taking this advice to heart; Thank you so much Carrie Rad!

[@kyliesollima6670]

Wow wow wow! I saw that you posted this video from your instagram story and I immediately had to start watching it cause self-love is something that I somewhat struggle with. I am very happy with everything in my life at the moment and I am very happy with all of the opportunities I have had or are given in my life, but the one thing I struggle with is myself as a person! I have struggled with acne since freshmen year of high school & I am now a sophomore in college and it hasn’t gotten any easier on me! I look at myself in the mirror some days and say, “Wow I look good today” but I also have those days where I look in the mirror and say, “Why do I have to look like this? Im so ugly, nobody likes me.” But when I watched this whole video I immediately felt at peace! I felt a little more self love within myself and I remembered that my acne will soon be gone & I will one day always look in the mirror at myself and say, “Wow I look good today!” I feel that because I struggle with acne I feel like I am ugly at all times even when I put makeup on and this video helped me understand that I look beautiful anyway I look & I shouldn’t care what other people think!! So with all of that being said, THANK YOU, thank you, THANK YOU!! Thank you for helping me see the good in myself when I needed it:)

[@madisonf5910]

Carrie, thank you for sharing your advice! I've struggled with a toxic relationship with a member of my immediate family and I've felt quite guilty setting boundaries/cutting this person out. It's nice to get confirmation that boundaries are healthy even though they are challenging at times. These boundaries have improved my overall happiness and productivity. I hope those out there who are in similar situations will consider trying this self love thing and setting boundaries in toxic relationships. There's a saying, "do what's right, not what's easy." and I think it really hits home with some of the things you've talked about in this post. Thanks again!

[@jamiecarter2192]

Hi gorgeous Carrie! This video made my day. I have already sent it to my besties and my sister, as I want to spread the self care love! I need this in my life at the moment as I need to make some life changes. I recently moved back from two years in London where I felt my absolute happiest. Travelling, meeting new people, seeing beautiful sights. It was a dream. I’m back in my home country and I feel like I’ve gone back to where I was before. I don’t feel as inspired, I am not seeing new things everyday and I’m not writing like I used to. I feel like I’m in a rut. I think I need to learn from your advice about living life with intent and focusing on me. I feel like I”m just going with what everyone else is doing and I’m not happy. This self care summer will help me so much I think!

[@anarenea]

Thank you for this video! Ever since you posted it, I routinely return to it for a refresher. I’ve struggled with my self-image since I was in 4th grade when I began gettin bullied by boys for my appearance, and I must say, this Self Care Summer series has given me great comfort. My biggest passion in life has been recently discovered (I really had to think about this question because I’ve never really asked myself!), and it’s digital media and marketing, specifically within the beauty community. My ultimate goal is to find my place in the beauty community, really make a difference as a WOC, and most of all enjoy and take pride in the things I create.

[@kathleenklimek2965]

My passion is yoga! I’m doing teacher training right now and I have a ton of homework and I don’t care. I got up this morning went to a yoga class, grabbed a latte on the way home and started working. I lost all track of time and forgot to eat lunch! This video is right in line with how my life is changing right now!

[@saraprescott9396]

Hi Carrie. First of all, I want to say thank you so much for making this video. It really resonates with me and I agree with people in the comments saying that you should start a podcast because not only are you truly an intelligent, wise, articulate individual, but you just radiate such kindness and compassion and thoughtfulness. I just wanted to say that for awhile now I’ve been constantly overcome with severe depression and anxiety and I keep holding myself back due to fear and lack of motivation. I am now just starting to get on the self-care wagon and give myself some grace but it’s just very difficult sometimes. I just wanted you to know that I really appreciate you taking the time to make this very raw and honest video because I feel like so many people need to hear your words, including me. It makes me feel like I’m not alone. Keep doing what you’re doing, Carrie. You’re awesome. Much love :)

[@abbieaustin8488]

"you don't have to be in a perfect place to do the things you want to do" LOVE IT! You are such an inspiration to me over the years!!

[@madelineborowski9696]

My biggest passions are writing & being able to help others & the important relationships in my life.

[@dia.ri0s]

scrolling through the comments and it makes me so enlightened to see how much this has helped you all. y'all are amazing continue to grow and love yourself

[@uhospaghettios14]

Thank you for this video! I'm currently working on setting boundaries in my life and not being afraid to go after what I want, so this video is a good reminder for me. My deepest passion is human rights. I consider myself an activist and my whole life is centered on pushing for change with the intent of putting others first. When I do things for myself, I love anything creative. I love to paint, dance and learn new things. Anything that is creative or expands my mind or makes me a better person I have a deep passion for. :)

[@kellyjo3469]

Two of my biggest passions are learning and teaching others.

[@halb8943]

my biggest passion is going on adventures and meeting new people! even a small adventure to a new site in my city

[@erikalorenz4399]

I feel that one of my biggest struggles with self love is that I am unsure of the things I am passionate about. I end up questioning myself and not feeling like I am good at any one thing in particular. It’s hard watching people grow up around me who have such clear visions of their passions when I feel like o haven’t quite found mine yet.

[@JessRWest]

Really needed to see this today... I haven’t been in the mindset I want to be in lately, so this came at the perfect time. I’m passionate about letting the people I care most about know how much I appreciate them. It’s become so evident to me as of lately that time on this Earth is so precious, and to never take it for granted. I always strive to be the best daughter/friend, and show my love for those around me since tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. Thank you for this raw convo Carrie❤️

[@adgtexas90]

Meaningful conversation and knowing people on a super deep level makes me really happy.

[@elainnamyers1757]

What lights up my life are my 2 kiddos...may sound very cliche, but it’s true...seeing them grow into amazing human beings and knowing that I’m doing my part in that is an amazing feeling...I believe it all stems from me NOT having good parents/role models as a child...definitely makes me feel proud of myself 😁

[@blossom-375]

what keeps me going is knowing someday in the future i will be able to love myself Also my state of mind & body will be at it's best since i have prepared all these years & also have wen't through failure in order to be there.

[@lizadelph]

I’m only just now trying to learn to love myself, I’ve always put myself down and let other people dictate what I should be doing and where I should be. Mostly because I have no idea how to do this thing called life, but I realize now that nobody knows how and we’re all winging it! I’m so excited for this series. I’ve been subscribed for a while now and love love love your videos. My passion is to explore new places and learn new things about the world. I love learning about new cultures and learning about the history of old places.

[@KaylieMills96]

I have literally NEVER had a youtube video cry.. Until now.. I have known that self care and self love is incredibly important but you really just spoke to exactly how I have been feeling. You definitely made this video feel like a hug for me and I thank you soo much for that. I feel like a weight was taken off my shoulders, and I didn't even know it was there.

[@CarrieRad]

♥️🌱 sending you so much love

[@kimberlyalvarez]

I’m passionate about being a bridge. I want to be able to connect myself not only to those around me but with complete strangers in a more intimate level. We are all human and we all have our own problems that we bottle up inside because we feel as if we go through so much in life alone. When we forget that everyone is going through this journey that we call life together and sometimes need to lean on each other for the good and the bad. I have always wanted to be inseparably close with my family who I grew up away from and also be a friend whenever someone needs it. This video resonates so much to me because I hope to strive to live with the same compassion and empathy that Carrie just showed in this very video. This passion of mine branches off to my other desires as to why I want to travel more, visit family, and to be involved in my community. In order to do this, I must cut ties with the toxic relationships that I currently have as painful as it is in order to encounter genuine ones. I have to love myself fully before I can love anyone else fully.

[@KomalMinhas]

This is one of the most important videos I’ve watched! It’s incredible to witness the honesty and authenticity with which you speak about self love. You’re not just projecting it aspiration-ally, but you’re living a life filled with self love - and that shit is hard! Ha! Well done!

[@Csmith7561]

Spoken from the heart ❤️ The things you’ve said in this video really resonate with me. I’ve been on this self love journey for years now and I’ve come so far!

[@elena737UwU]

Wish I knew all that when I was your age... never stop learning cause life never stops teaching. Thank you! Love from Barcelona, Spain

[@MyLife-qk5od]

Loved this video! I was feeling like a total failure and a total mistake myself. Felt totally worthless, coz my family and office bosses thought and made me feel like it, even though I knew I did most of the genuine work, At home I do everything but rarely appreciated but found fault in everything that I eventually became bad at what I can do. I loved baking and I was really good at it, but now I have lost it. I want to get back to myself and your videos are really helpful! Thank you again!!

[@isabel5986]

Thanks for this! I’m good at some parts of self love and then there is career, I’m holding myself back,don’t think I’m worthy of it etc.

[@BrendaRiesgo]

Hi Carrie! I just want to say that I loved this video, it feels super natural. I can see that you speak from the heart and experience. Sunday morning, a cup of tea and your words were a great way to start my day. My passion is stories, whether that is writing one myself or making others fall in love with a tale. I do that by making recommendations about movies, tv series or books. I enjoy it so much when others answer me gratefully for making them watch something special that resonated with them. When the connection happens and there is an exchange between me and someone else through a story...that is the best part about my passion and hopefully, about my job. Since I love traveling so much I am also trying to mix it up and talk about cities I've visited and the movies that were filmed there. It´s so much fun! Thanks for the video. I look forward to watching more of #SelfCareSummer! Lots of love, Brenda

[@beautynspice84]

Carrie, you are so unique and your message is equally inspirational and thought provoking!! I base a lot of my feelings on faith and seeking peace and like you mentioned, disconnecting yourself from what causes you strife, even if it's those closest to you, is important. At the end of the day, we are our first priority and we need to make sure we are fulfilled and not care what others whose intentions may not be the best, think about us. We all have a different purpose in this life, even if it might seem unconventional, and we need to seek it and embrace it free from judgement. We all go through different struggles and inner tranquility is what we all deserve to have, no matter our environment. I resonate with a lot of the things you said in this video and am looking forward to learning more from you throughout this series. Thank you for sharing your heart with us!! 🤗💖🙏

[@nosiphondlovu2471]

Listening to this in 2021 because I have just discovered you. So grateful I came across this, thank you so much. I felt a really warm and comfortable hug. Thank you and God bless you.

[@Space_Princess]

my biggest passions are Art, being with nature and animals, Helping others in any way i can and helping the planet through eco friendly ways

[@AnnaHazel17]

I saved this video until Sunday morning, sat myself down with a mug of tea and just watched 💖💖 And it's probably going to change my day. When I feel like people are judging me, I'm going to tell myself that I don't care! When I feel like doing something I care about will be too scary, I am going to remind myself of this chat this morning. You've changed my day ❤️ Thank you xx

[@CarrieRad]

Thank you so much Anna! I appreciate this comment soo much

[@AnnaHazel17]

Carrie Rad Thank YOU!! ❤️

[@elizabethweaverling263]

This your best video that I've seen so far! I really enjoy your self care summer series but mostly love your life series. I want to see more motivational and inspirational based vidoes from you. Thank you for posting this particular video on KZbin!

[@boohoolindalieu]

UGH THANK YOU CARRIE! I totally needed to hear this. I can definitely relate with you on not feeling worthy enough to experience or have something, and also over thinking things. I still to this day replay conversations in my head, whether it's at work or a lunch date, I always think about what the other person thought of me at that time. Was I funny? Interesting? Worth seeing again? Should I have said that? Sometimes I would pressing questions and topics I want to talk about prior to meeting with someone. Is that crazy?! 😭 I'm still learning to just let those things go and stop beating myself up about it. I also internalize everything and invert things. So if something/someone upsets me, I'm upset for a little while but then I'm mostly trying to figure out what's wrong with me to have been known that place. Anyway, I'm rambling!! I really appreciated this video. Especially while I'm in a place of finding myself and my career and my passion. Thanks for continuing to inspiring me ❤️

[@baileymcbride18]

I literally think I’m going to watch every single one of your videos this summer.

[@rebeccadouden5545]

Such an amazing start to self care summer!! 🙌🏼 Thank you so much for this! ✨

[@CarrieRad]

Thank you Rebecca! So glad you love it!!

[@SarahFrickArt]

I feel like I'm also quickly, (thankfully,) approaching the age where I'm running out of hecks to give. It's kind of wonderful.

[@MARYANNE269]

Thank you again! ♥️ I used to watch a lot of Gabriella Bernstein.. Im not comparing you to her but I found her years ago, I needed her in my life it was ment to be. Now I've found you! Just when I need a kick up the bum, Here you are! Thank Carrie ♥️ now to see if I can wake up at 5:30 and get my life in gear. 💋

[@yousracherkouai1366]

My passion in life is to give back, and make a difference because that's the main reason (I feel) that we are here for.

[@Amada__]

I LOVE your talks. Im currently binge-watching your videos rn lol. My passion is connecting with nature. I love to hike and go on walks, especially when its near sunset or sunrise.

[@alexlaurenne]

I'm so excited for this series! God I don't even know how to describe what my biggest passion in life is. I think that it's those moments where you feel like the people you love and connect to can truly see you, like, on that stardust level. When you know you've found the people that you knew in past lives, and that together you can create real magic. To me that's all I'm ever looking for. That, and trying to find patterns and connections and layers of meaning in everything

[@vanessatran2474]

thank you so much for this! i recently started living intentionally and its changed my life so much! recently, ive been going through a rough patch in my life, which would have gotten me really down before but i can still wake up and see the beauty in the world bc of this new mindset! looking forward to hearing more about your thoughts on this topic!

[@cassiekelly8758]

This is brilliantly beautiful Carrie!

[@CarrieRad]

Thank you so much Cassie

[@letypegueros]

I am loving this video!!!!! I'm half way through but I had to stop and let you know how amazing is this chat, I feel so related to the things you're saying, I'm in a point where I am decluttering my life and I have found myself finishing a lot of "friendships" that weren't good for me... sometimes I get to feel a bit lonely but I know it's an act of self love. Finding people like you on the internet who share all their love for life, who share their amazing souls and their incredible point of view on the internet, makes me feel that I am going in the right direction and also makes this journey totally worth it! So thank you so much Carrie!! I'm so excited for seeing the rest of this video and the rest of this series! I know it's going to be amazing!

[@letypegueros]

Have you ever thought of doing your own podcast?? I would love it 💛

[@andreacatarino7075]

I use to be really mad at myself for sooo long, now I practice more self Love and everyday I try to be the best version of myself, everyday I go forward to achive my goals. Thank you so much for the talk, help me a los to remmember to slow down and tape a moment for me. My passions are yoga and psychology. Saludos desde México 🇲🇽

[@mineolas]

Oh my god Carrie! I have watch 2:27 of the video so far and what you say about toxic relationship, overthinking conversation, analysing things you said.. I have been like this all my life! And so sick and tired of pleasing and not setting boundaries 😠. Anyway: continuing now 🙏🏻 merci merci merci ❤️

[@Elliecharlotte]

Watched this video twice it was so great! You really packed a lot of interesting ideas into this video and everything just comes across just as super genuine and thoughtful. Really excited for the rest of the series xx

[@marietaylor1268]

This is hands down the best video I’ve ever watched on KZbin. Not one bit of it was a waste of time and it was so easy for my to identify with. Thank you.

[@delyssa3041]

I really needed this video! I’ve watched you for over a year now and love when you just sit down and talk to us! I can’t wait for this new series because I’ve really been in a funk lately! Love you Carrie!! ❤️

[@kaylawilliamsmusic]

This video was a lovely reminder of something we all need more of, you're such a wonderful person Carrie! My passion is all things music- writing, recording, performing, every part of it lights me up. I also have a passion in life to learn and in the last couple years have been craving to learn more and more on self care and self love. Your videos were one of the things that started me on this path and now I have so many resources from KZbinrs to podcasts to books and more that allow me to keep developing this skill. It's addictive-finding awareness and growing as a person- keep doing what you do, it's inspiring :)

[@terripops]

I'm so happy you've started this series, Carrie. June is looking good! :) My passion in life is being with the people I love and sharing moments with them, showing love, receiving love - I know how cheesy that sounds but when it all comes down to it, what else do you have in life but the people you love? Family comes in all shapes and sizes and it's a great thing that we can create our own. I'm also trying to be kinder to myself and be more mindful. It's a tricky journey but even the smallest achievements in practising those things feel so good. I had a baby almost two years ago now and it really threw me through a loop physically, mentally, emotionally - you name it! But it's been such an eye-opening journey into pretty much every aspect of my life and it's when I really started paying attention to self care because I realised how important it is. So looking forward to what you've got coming next :D

[@michellegoit488]

I think I'm redefining my biggest passion in life. I had been very focused the past few years about helping and inspiring others and although I'm still passionate about that, I forgot about me. I've made this year about learning to love myself but it's easy to get caught up in everyday life and push it aside. I love tip to live with intention, it's something I need to do more of!

[@KaisaSuuroja]

I had no idea I needed this video so much. Self love is definitely something i have been struggling with for a long time so this was very helpful. Also super excited to learn more about meditation, can't wait for that hahaha 😄😊

[@CarrieRad]

I'm so happy to hear this video came at a time you needed it. Filmed the meditation video yesterday! Coming soon!

[@angdance4538]

Carrie, I'm so with you on this. You are such a lightworker and you are inspiring others in such a real way it's amazing. Please keep motivating us, you are literally creating a self love tribe! 😍

[@abrianaholliday5042]

Im literally tearing up and I’m not even half way through. I’m so glad I’ve discovered you yesterday. You are such a bright and warm light, and breath of fresh air. Thank you so much for this ❤️

[@CarrieRad]

Thank you for being here ♥️♥️

[@marimi25]

I love do Beautiful university notes, lettering and be with my loved people. It’s for far one of my passions in life

[@audrey9140]

Love this so much 💜 I always admire how you're able to set a warm and friendly tone to your videos and how well it translates to putting your viewers right at ease. It really feels like sitting down with a close friend - this sense of community that you build is so inviting and comforting. Kudos to you for seemlessly doing this magic 🧚🏼‍♀️ For me, this video is perfect timing because I am trying to cultivate a healthier relationship with myself. My passions are health & wellness and learning new things. My ultimate goal is to be a doctor but for now, I like to read, cook, take my dog on long walks, listen to podcasts, and have meaningful conversations with my friends. I'm a supervisor at work and I always try to make the people under me feel welcomed, appreciated, and understood. I love listening to other people's perspectives and being a mentor. People around me tend to open up and share their struggles and their wins but I'm often times a person that people feel they can trust and find support in. While I cherish this so much, I recently realized that I wasn't treating myself with the same care that I would offer the people around me. What you said in the video was super helpful and I completely agree - we need to let go of judging our past actions and stop the cycle of reliving these painful moments. As a psych major and neuro nerd, I can attest that thinking the same thoughts actually cause those same specific neural pathways to be reinforced. If we change our thoughts, we are literally changing the physical lanscape of our brains (granted on a very small scale). It is very much like you said, a type of muscle memory. This overlap between the mind and the physical brain is what I am most passionate about learning more about. Thank you for such a meaningful video this week, can't wait for the next one. P.s. will you be doing a video about mental health?

I just found your channel and I love these self care videos! You have such a calming presence

[@CarrieRad]

welcome ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@HeatherRising]

I felt so motivated when you were talking about following your dreams. I recently auditioned for Romeo and Juliet and was so nervous about it. I'm not a traditional Juliet, but I wanted it so badly. But then I got cast as Juliet! If I had assumed that I wasn't good enough and didn't audition, I never would have been cast! I had to have a certain about of self love to have enough confidence to audition and I'm so glad I did.

Thank you for posting this video Carrie! You are such an inspiration!

[@chiarabirocchi1547]

I cannot describe how grateful I am for you! Grazie!!! :)

[@RoxanaPerezPerez]

I never comment on your videos, but I just want you to know, this is my fav one, your voice and the topic you discuss just calms me, it was perfect!! You really need to do stars a podcast, I would love that! Also my biggest passion is actually food and the feeling of cooking something for my special people :)

[@cassiegraves4349]

Carrie I loved this so much. It felt like I was sitting down listening to my big sister talk. What you said about over-analyzing conversations you had with people really resonated with me. I tend to over-analyze even the smallest interactions I have with people--even people I might never see again--because I just care so much about what people think of me. I'm hoping that that's something I can start working on throughout the month of June, and continue afterwards. Cheers to Self Care Summer!

[@Dashaandall]

I just want to say thank you for what you are doing! It is amazing! And now I can say that my passion is cooking, like I am not a chief but I really like the process of making something and I am really happy when it comes delicious. And I like to make food not for me but for someone, usually it is for my parents when I come home, but I hope that one day I won't be so shy to cook for someone else. And again, thank you for this series! XO

[@Judith21123]

i love relaxed this video is. I think this is something that everyone needs to hear. Thank you so much for this video Carrie. My biggest passions are figure skating, making my loved ones laugh, and helping others.

[@littlemissstilly]

Books and reading and writing are my passion. I have an english degree, i just got a job at the biggest bookstore in canada and i'm 50 pages into my first draft of a book I actually want to publish. Going through a breakup after over 5 years has kicked my ass but i also think it may have been the best thing to ever happen to me because now all of my intention and focus is on me. 💕

[@HanSan17]

CARRIE!!! This is the best video I’ve watched in a long time! I’m passionate about helping kids be the best person they can be and also loving who I am!

[@aneesakader2313]

Love your channel! Am passionate about being a doctor ,treating hiv patients here in South Africa. My other passions include yoga and dancing, running and sketching. Keep up your great work!!!

[@alexandraj5707]

Thank you for this Carrie, I got quite emotional when listening to you here because it speaks so much truth, I've been really struggling with self love and giving myself A LOT of negativity recently. It's so comforting to know that others have these thoughts too. I also love how bluntly you put it and I feel like you gave me a bit of a wake up call that I desperately needed. x x

[@mirandapanda8228]

Thanks so much for this video and this series Carrie. It has come at such an important time for me and I am sure many others too. June really is my month for self love. I’m seeking counselling, am trying to heal and learn self acceptance after an emotional trauma, and day by day am on my way to finding “me” again and what she needs. I already know this series will help so thank you, truly. Also, my passion is animals. And I have made this passion into my career as a self-employed pet groomer!

[@Lucybee79]

Carrie I was soooo deep in listening to your wise words through this whole video. You’ve inspired me so much. Actually you’re pretty much an idol of mine so thank you ♥️

[@farfromhere2866]

I've recently started watching your videos, but I absolutely love them and you've become my absolute favorite KZbinr! I've been working hard to become a more positive, happy person over the past year or two, and self-love and forgiveness is really hard for me to accomplish because I've spent so long surrounded by toxic friends that promoted self deprecation. Your videos are really helping me to become more positive and happy, and especially after this video, I'm planning on making travel videos/vlogs and possibly other videos on KZbin! I'm super passionate about sharing positivity, kindness, and the good things about the differences between different people. :)

[@BethanyAngharads]

my biggest passion is secondary school teaching! I'm currently in my last year at university doing my masters of education and have just completed my first placement. I'm so grateful to have found my passion at a young age (21) as I have friends who are still finding their path. This is a great series Carrie and I'm excited to see what else you have to share!! If you have any good book recs for self love and this sort of thing please share!! (also, video notifications are on!)

[@shireenhg4395]

Great video to the start of your awesome series!! Can’t wait for the next! Thank you Carrie for sharing your positive insights. ❤️

[@CarrieRad]

Thank you! So happy you liked the first episode!

[@Jmp599]

I loved this, thanks so much Carrie :)

[@neverforgetwhouwere]

I love this series so much Carrie:) I struggle with self confidence being a German living in London and I definitely need to work on that:) so thankful and love your positivity :)xx

[@nicoleabbott9235]

Thank you so so much for starting this series. As someone who was recently diagnosed with a mental illness, this is a really important for me to hear. I love you and your channel, keep doing what you’re doing💜

[@rachaelrogers]

My biggest passion is helping others. It doesn’t have to be big, even something as small as doing the dishes for someone or picking them up from the airport. I feel like it’s what I’m meant to do, now I just need to figure out what that means career wise🤷🏻‍♀️

[@mandyb4054]

Thank u Carrie! I love your videos!! Brought tears to my eyes

[@lisaajane01]

What a fantastic sister we have on this channel! :) Thankyou for your hug - I got it way over here in Tasmania! X My biggest passion is travel, but not travel as in "one day in France and then lets go to Belgium', more I like to take my time and get to know where I am and meet the people there and hear their stories. So actually, come to think of it my passion is people, and travel gives me an epic backdrop. That does explain why I am studying teaching..xx

[@amandalozada4313]

This is really great. Thank you for your wonderful talk. Self-care and self-love are really important things. Just today I was thinking... I should stop bringing myself down by thoughts like "I'm not the best" or "I'm not that beautiful/talented". Sometimes I say that to comfort my friends when something goes wrong for them, and I repeat it so many times that my body and mind now believe it wholeheartedly. But I've realized... there are things that only I can do, as you said, and when I step into the spotlight no one, in that moment, is going to do better than me. Just earlier in the week a teacher showed us a video about power poses and how they could help us boost our confidence. Because being confident in yourself is not being arrogant, which was something that I really struggled with as a child. I thought that if I was confident in myself I was being arrogant, and my friends just reinforced that feeling. Self-love is really a thing we must nurture constantly. Taking care of ourselves is very important. Thank you for this. One of my biggest passions is music. I love my instrument and adore playing, even though it's hard sometimes. I also love reading, traveling and of course, a nice, warm cup of coffee. What's yours? Looking forward for your next videos. Really excited for this series ❤🌺💐 Abrazos 😘

[@betulozaydn8186]

i'm so scared of not having a passion in my life. i'm 20 and still don't have a passion that i can say 'that's it' for myself and it just freaks me out. btw loved your video!
