Cas!! I found you because of Ariel from “That Awkward Mom“💖 and she recently uploaded a video of her own cleaning routine she created called “The Tidy Tango” and the first two minutes are just dancing 😄😄😄 and IT WORKS! It gets me going and the rest of the routine flies by. There’s really something to this! Thanks for the incredible content!!👏🙌💃🕺🥳 P.S. I’ve been helping my (semi-hoarder) best friend with ADHD and limited mobility declutter and pack for a big move to a smaller apartment in a few weeks and have been using all of your advice. She is a butterfly!! Like for real though 🥴😮‍💨 and she’s been SO INCREDIBLE letting stuff go the last few weekends and I even explained that decluttering is like vacuuming, like you said. She said it made sense because if new stuff comes in, then the old stuff’s gotsta go! I feel like a proud mama. We love your videos!🙏🙌 sincerely: another ADHD girl

[@td9834]

Dancing to start your day is also really fun!!!

[@sarac9565]

I'm laughing so hard at "your brain is stupid." 😂😂 Cas, you are hilarious ❤

[@jodievance1348]

My dad ALWAYS would respond with positivity when asked how he was doing. It is infectious. Others will normally get a lift too.

[@susancole8649]

I was listening to this while on my walk and I was trying to be more energetic 🤣🤣 so the neighborhood had some fine entertainment 😂

[@sonjapriebe8478]

Cas, your Podcasts are always entertaining, educating and fun at the same time 🥰

[@vickysalisbury8214]

Loved this video. I consider smiling one of my super-powers and I don’t understand why more people don’t use the power of a smile even when they are faking it. Free and easy way to make yourself and others around you happier!😄

[@crybebebunny]

That is Very Easy for someone with Such a Pretty Smile You is Very Pretty❣️🤐😬🤓👺🤡🙊 See mine is not as nice❣️ But you are right. Smile are Very Powerful. When my children Smile or laugh, they make my day❣️ ❣️ My husband's also makes my day❣️ I know their genuine smiles and laughter, that is when the Super Power is the strongest.

[@EveryPeachInReach]

​@@crybebebunny I know what you mean about someone having a "pretty" smile but I still think a genuine smile is beautiful. ❤

[@vickysalisbury8214]

Also…been struggling with a health issue for months that drags me down and makes me feel old. So besides medical help, I have decided to assume the posture of a young, healthy, strong person (I am 64) and affirm that with words throughout my day!

[@dawnjeffersramstad8401]

Me too!

[@crybebebunny]

Cas, you have hit the biggest point, when you been in morning for your self, your dreams, and your goals. One feels close to death one has no motivation. I need a form of CPR for my life. I watch you, you are a form of CPR 🥳Casandra 🧚‍♀️Positve 💆🏻‍♀️Resection🧐 of motivation for life❣️❣️🎉❣️👩‍🚒👩‍🎤

[@breallred19]

Cas! We need a clutterbug podcast with you and Kim + Pen Holderness!! Needs to be an extra long one! 😍😍😍

[@LaJuana558]

Off to put my apron on and twinkle as I get my fun things accomplished! Thanks Cas!

[@silver_csmith]

I seriously love you Cass!!! 😍🫶🏻👏🏻 You are so amazing and inspiring! 🙌🏻Thanks for sharing your beautiful, contagious, light giving self!!! 😘💃🏻

[@doriscassan6996]

Andy Kaufman. Man in the Moon.

[@PinkSparklyJess]

This came at the exact right time. I woke up so tired and lazy. It's snow raining this morning and all I wanted to do this morning was eat carbs in the dark. Not anymore!

[@crybebebunny]

WoW, No spring overthere either. We are suppose to be waiting for Summer. 😢 This is very hard here too. If we were waiting for Snow or Rain we would be cool 🥶🥳🤶❄️☃️ We are here hoping for 🌞🌡☀️🌞🌤🌞⛱️🌊

[@Spmama444]

Truth…you get that 5am cold shower I’ll barrow your energy!!! Haha Yep. I totally latched onto your clutter the whole house in 15 and really only for the motivation to clean one drawer AND it worked!!!! Body doubling with your excitement gets me going!!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@viviandunbar1505]

Weird is my jam, Cas. I get excited about stuff nobody else does and I OWN THAT 😅

[@Spmama444]

If i high fives myself in the mirror I’d have to then clean that smidge off!!!! Haha but I can use my other hand!!! 😂

[@limonade2684]

For me, this is not good. When I fake too much, I can loose myself, my honesty and my authenticity. I forget, what I really like and want. When I meet those people, I run fast. Social media is full of smiling, exited people and I avoid them.

[@IreneLoudou]

Since the day I have found you, I'm coming back to you again and again and again 🙏🙏 you're such a treasure in KZbin, you're pure Light!!

[@victoriaoliver9958]

I feel like you are the next Mel Robbins. ❤️

[@user-wz2sj4dj8s]

I LOVE IT!!! Thanks so much, Cas, for always willing to lend us your boundless energy & excitement!!! I’m feeling it after seeing this and I definitely needed it….FOR SURE!! 😁💪🏻

[@ren8240]

I see vacuuming & mopping as a cardio workout & if I had to chose 30mins on a treadmill vs 30mins vacuuming with music pumping, the vacuum & mop would win hands down everytime!

[@karenrich9092]

Hi Cass, your videos are great. I try to borrow energy from my little friends at church on Sunday and if there was a high school or college pep rally I would go there. Right now I'm battling colon cancer and dealing with health insurance issues. And I have no energy.

[@user-gs7hj6pf8r]

Coffee and chocolate!❤

[@Metdiva1]

Love you so much Cas! "Craptacularness" is now my new favorite word! 😂

[@christineb2640]

Great ❤reminders CAS, thank you. Our brains are actually extremely amazing, but they are not the programmer, we are, we have to put the right stuff into our brain to get the best out of them. Including feeding them good thoughts, good food, keeping chemicals and toxins away from them and telling them how very very smart and capable they are ❤ your video really reminded me to be careful what I say to myself and others.

[@Spmama444]

Book “Scattered Minds” All about ADD in adults !!! Made me cry!!!! I have it on audible and already clipped and saved notes on almost every other sentence!!!! “Completely lacking in the add mind is a template for order. A mental model for how order comes about. The mind set to do the job is missing. There is a profound reluctance to discard anything … who knows when you will need it…” No wonder I relate to your systems because you are ADD too!!!!! They WORK!!!!!

[@ashleyjean172]

Cassssss! I really adore you so much! Always make sure to do some research on narcissistic and sociopathic abuse. I know that’s a weird comment but I felt such a pull to say that when you said your husband doesn’t show much excitement- and it took me back to the narcissist I was with 8 years ago (single ever since I was 3 months pregnant) I’m not saying anything means anything. All I am saying is for everyone reading this. Research covert narcissism. It truly TRULY saved my life.

[@tanyazweegman5529]

You are actually my motivation!!! Thank you. I just decluttered years' worth of things that I thought were important. They all went to the dump. A year ago, I would have been saving lots more. You have gave me the permission to throw it away. You're still a rock star. ❤️

[@victoriaoliver9958]

I just have to add that when I said you were the next Mel Robbins, you hadn't even mentioned her name yet!

[@janetmccarville7235]

Cas - when you were talking about spreading excitedness on everyone around / sharing excitedness…. I couldn’t help thinking about ‘spreading butt confidence’ from Pitch Perfect (2?) - and then really hoping you would say it - and then you talked about it ‘leaking on you’! Hahaha

[@malinhirt3101]

You’re amazing 🤩 LOVE your podcasts 💕🙌

[@ccroness8527]

It is not a matter of "faking it until you make it"; one should never be fake. "Practice it until you become it".

[@kakylong2]

I remember Tony Shalhoub, who played Monk, saying he saw himself becoming more like Monk the longer he played that character. So very true. Fake it, til you make it. 😊

[@brookebales2931]

“Your brain 🧠 doesn’t know that, your brain is stupid” 😂 😆 😝

[@user-zm7wr1gz6b]

Thank you Cas! I love your podcasts!!!! 💖

[@EtherealBlueRainbow]

I did the fake enthusiasm, peppy, smily, ever ready for a new project at my last work. People probably thought I was this weird introvert who was also happy about new projects & things like an extrovert would, especially my boss. I was angling for a certain spot that didn't happen because of the economy right now, but I was really believable in my enthusiasm. Why? Because the fake burst of enthusiasm & smiles raised my dopamine or something, making me more energetic & "sparkly" (which is so not me) for real, a bit like brainwashing myself into enthusiasm. The physical enthusiasm raised the intellectual if that makes sense... We humans are se weird...

[@margymac2954]

Only you. Only you, Cas, can make me laugh so hard that the tears run down my legs! Been following you for years. You've always made my day so much brighter 💛 (Loved your broken butt & showin' the world your Hoo-haw/snatch stories!) But I have to speak up and say something......"I wanna be a bed rat too!"

[@fabienneroure9995]

I totally agree❤🌟 she makes my day brighter as well! She's very inspiring, I'm ADHD as well and I can relate to so may things she says!❤

[@julietmaskell4339]

Thank you for being your great inspiring self. Just watching you talk your talk motivates me! (The Jim Carrey film was Man on the Moon. He played Andy Kaufman.) 😊

[@FelisBoudria]

I love this podcast. You are really funny and still get your points across. I enjoy your videos. I may have some ADHD

[@trishferrer8209]

Who is the "princess ladylike" person you mentioned. Loved this whole message from you, Cas! You are MY inspiration!

[@user-uc5di9qk7m]

Your the best you changed my life

[@alienordusud2395]

You give us so much energy ! Thank you to give us that little push, my house is so much nicer and cleaner since I watch your videos 😊 Love from France 🇫🇷 😘

[@mrs_truthseiyer3976]

Thank you so much for this! I really needed it today. Going to give myself a high five every day I get up, I will figure out a sticker to put on my mirror, my car, and my locker at work!

[@genealotech]

Jim Carey role was Andy Kaufman. 😉

[@CristinaBalan-ui3mp]

Haha Cas!!!! I never knew that was a thing but my routine is everytime before i start tidying up the house, u spend a few minutes dancing like nobody's watching with my favourite music very loud! 😂😂😂👏

[@ellie448]

Thank Cass for being open about you ADHD! Because of you I even considered that I might have it and then I recently got tested! YES I have ADHD I laughed and cried for days! I’m so glad to FINALLY have answers to “what’s wrong with me?!” Nothing I’m special and now I know how my brain works. THANK YOU

[@MsDoglover02]

Thanks for this! ❤

[@hollydickson1306]

Love this! The first thing people say in describing me is even-keeled. Ironically, my hubby is up and down. I love these suggestions for getting motivated. Thanks!

[@user-uc5di9qk7m]

Wow huge fan I’m subscribed with notifications🎉

[@dawnjeffersramstad8401]

This post is after I finished viewing this the first time. I sense a Spotify review later this week, I love Spotify while doing chores. Since I am old enough to be your teen mom, a family diagnosed ADHDer in her 60's, I now need to pay attention to my energy cycles to capitalize my mind's best time for creative work. This can mean eating my "frogs" at low energy times rather than sacrifice my morning high energy times to the mundane. Right now I do this by making my chore list before breakfast because it helps me wake up. So today, my morning is writing and my much needed Target run will happen between 2 & 3 when my daily low energy arrives like "fog on little cat feet" (Carl Sandburg's poem) and I fall asleep to something recorded on Hulu. One more thing, this brought to mind some of your Malitose79 content from when you were "faking it to make it." Ever think of dropping in a clip of you then when presenting this point relative to maturing with ADHD?

[@heidi.piedee]

Cas, this is great and so are you!

[@Andrea_Make-it-your-own]

Absolutely 💯 , ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@lyndallparker8186]

Hi Cas! You are amazing and always entertaining and love your inspirations - Keep up the good works!! xo

[@myraaitken8954]

I always look forward to listening to your podcasts. You are my motivation! 🤗 After your 45 mins house declutter, I tackled one of "those" drawers. Done and dusted! 😁 And no matter what happens to you (or anyone) in your life I believe that how you respond (your positivity or negativity) is up to you. Also, look for the silver lining! 😘

[@lubbsnoopy9607]

Hahaha the cult was hilarious 😂 I love you Cass❤❤😂

[@emilyboggess4426]

I love you so much it hurts. 😂❤ We are the same insane bubbly ADHD, sis! These are so so helpful!

[@sharonwest1602]

I love this video Cass I did not know about tricking the brain to get excited or about dopamine release thank you Cass I want to get lit up

[@leezasims9959]

Ooooooh Cas…..!this found me at the right time. My day of tasks just got lit up. I was going to do it all anyway ( well maybe 🤣 ) now after that pep talk I am fired up and excited to go at it!!!!!! I will also bring a better energy to my hubby who will be helping…… thanks girl this was EPIC ADVICE….. you are so inspiring, funny, helpful and real ❤❤❤❤

You have learned the art of stimming 💜

We love you the way you are.😊

[@pinkbutterfly3221]

Cas, I struggle with energy and you exude it so well! I too love Tony R and Mel R!! Can you please please do a video about organizing pet supplies? We have a dog and two Guinea Piggies who want to be organized too! 🐾💗 🐖🐖🏡🙏🏼

[@hesterferrezuelo7235]

spoiler alert! I love vacuuming!!

[@vaydadallas1329]

I’m not easily influenced. But, if cass was handing out kool-aid, I’d definitely drink it. Fellow vsg’er, adhd’er, and I’m trying to get out of my cluttered-cass-mom era😂

[@dawnangel1966]

I have high five yourself! You are enough! written on my bathroom mirror for myself and for my grandchildren

[@amy2284]

Thanks Cas for your amazing podcast. I definitly know the narrative we tell ourselves becomes our mindset. We also become what we repeatedly do (Aristotle ) For me as a Christian - there is a Bible verse Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. We can be transformed by renewing what we say to ourselves and watching our behavior.

[@dawnjeffersramstad8401]

30 seconds in, I used to be. But aging is leading me to now learn some hacks. Once again your topic of the day is where I am now.

[@carol-anneobrien1511]

So funny, but I've been doing this for years. As a teen I was extremely shy and awkward, someone told me to fake it till I make it...its been my thing ever since. I approach my life as I would one of my discos (I was a dj for 18 years) I make myself larger than life and hyper. Now with CPTSD, I do find it difficult at times, and I do get drained the next day. BUT, if I really need something done, and I'm struggling the most, I use this technique to get through it. It works so incredibly well. And if I can speak to someone and tell them how "excited" I am, it works even better...because I've bounced it off someone and its hit me with double. Weird, but true.

The Bible says the same thing about affirmations! It's awesome when The Bible and science say the same thing! Love it!

[@stephanieeliason9086]

I would love a bible reference!

[@elizabethsydnor5247]

​@@stephanieeliason9086one of my favorites is Mark 11:22-24 where our words, when mixed with faith, come to pass. Sadly I spent decades of my life doing the opposite, saying things like "I'm always exhausted," or "my life will never turn around," etc. My life followed exactly the negative words I said. Thank God someone showed me this truth, which has completely changed the direction of my life. I need to stay focused on this, though, and not revert back to the negativity, which is eager to jump back into my life, if I'm not careful.

[@kennethbailey9853]

[@debbiea9262]

What a fun video

[@memymo1310]

Um, I think the heart monitor continuous "BEEEEEEEEEEP!" noise is the flatline noise. Meaning they are dead Cass. Dead. Are you saying that your husband has the excitement level of a dead man. Because as a fellow ADHDer, I respect it.

Ancestry provided our family some surprises too...although it was ME, not my great grandma! If you want to help dig in and get answers for me, you're invited in! LOL I have the family names, just not the story. My mom is not forthcoming, and the bio-dad is past, so I can't get the real story. That part is frustrating.

[@Sahmgirl]

Andy Kaufman.

[@Sahmgirl]

Cas, what you're describing sounds more like Bi-polar disorder than ADHD. Just sayin', maybe you should talk to your doctor. No shame, my sister has this, and she can only really function, and keep "even" with medication.

[@Evey108]

I needed to stop watching this one, I couldn't make it til the end. I kept waiting for at least one piece of advice that is actually healthy for your mental well-being and you kept disappointing me. I discovered your channel not a long time ago and went back and watched a lot of your past videos and listened to a lot of old podcasts and always found your advice very helpful and inspiring, and your entire persona and life story inspired me as well. I feel as though I started watching a humble, mindful, unique woman and watched her ggradually change, first grow and expand her horizons and then somewhere I feel like she passed into a dangerous territory of pride and toxicity. It makes me sad and I hope this is just a phase. This advice is toxic and will hurt many people's mental health, and it likely is hurting yours. Lying to yourself is not a solution, it is a problem! It is one thing to play your imagination for fun and some motivation, another to build your entire presence on a lie. You did not lie your way into the successes you achieved, you worked hard on them my dear! Give yourself more credit. I pray that you shift your direction, I came to really like you as a fellow "hot mess" human. ❤ Take care

Hi from Germany

[@IMeMineWho]

I have never until covid had trouble making friends..and now at a time of grief and loss in my life need more close friends. A book club will get you friends with the same interests, but most of the time how I have made friends is just by saying "hi" or complementing someone.
