How to feel happy, energized and motivated - INSTANTLY!!!

[@strll3048]

Please never give up! I have never seen anyone try so genuinely and bravely to help others! You are really amazing.

[@karenralph2793]

Cas you are absolute GOLD!!!! Thanks for being my favorite hype girl!!!!

[@gina_dee.1111]

When asked, how are you, I answer, I am wide awake and full of energy. Even if I am not. 😂

[@mariee.5912]

I am stealing this. ❤😂

[@mysoulcalledlife]

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 ❤

[@rhonda-n8h]

I found my gratitude. I was sad because I didn't get to do the 21 easter egg declutter by day's end. Well, I cleaned out 2 fridges and excitedly realized I threw out at least 21 items, mostly expired condiments. Yea, me...high five after all!

[@viviandunbar1505]

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

[@BWoods5787]

ME ME ME!!!! Vacuuming is for me ❤, if I find myself stressed out, I vacuum. My momma when she was alive would buy me vacuums for my birthdays 🎉. I asked for them

[@jennifermarie8707]

Same! Love it, but now I only have a shop vac so no more

[@cindyolmstead2970]

Cass, I just Love that I found you!! I am learning so much about myself, decluttering, cleaning and ADHD. I haven't been diagnosed but listening to you and another law commentator and I am. You have given me so many tools that are helping. Also, I wished you lived next door because I think you would be a great fun friend. Oh, and thanks for outside yard stuff.

[@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 😂

[@Diana-vp3zr]

I find myself listening to you when I'm cleaning, I've made it a habit. You make cleaning so much better! Thank you for inspiring us! ❤

[@KarenBottom]

Coffee and chocolate!❤

[@Metdiva1]

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

[@sonjapriebe8478]

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

[@jodievance1348]

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

[@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. ❤

[@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. 😊

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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. ❤️

[@breallred19]

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

[@silver_csmith]

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

[@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❣️❣️🎉❣️👩‍🚒👩‍🎤

[@MacrinaRethmel]

Your the best you changed my life

[@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.

[@peacegoddess5]

i really needed this. thank u

[@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 🌞🌡☀️🌞🌤🌞⛱️🌊

[@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!

[@victoriaoliver9958]

I feel like you are the next Mel Robbins. ❤️

[@DeeAnnGunter]

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!! 😁💪🏻

[@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!!!!

[@JanetAkosi-k8s]

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

[@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!!!!!

[@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!!! 😂

[@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.

[@dianeellis-mcroberts5314]

My husband is a colon cancer survivor. I had to convince him to have the surgery his doctors said was NEEDED, (NOT "SUGGESTED"). He would have died iif he had stayed "In Denial" of how Life Interruptive the lethal disease was. Peace, from Maryland.

[@karenrich9092]

@dianeellis-mcroberts5314 My lack of energy plus diarrhea turned out to be colitis. I'm glad your husband is doing better.

[@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 🇫🇷 😘

[@td9834]

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@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! 😘

[@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! 😂😂😂👏

[@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!❤

[@lubbsnoopy9607]

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

[@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

[@heidi.piedee]

Cas, this is great and so are you!

[@lyndallparker8186]

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

[@yamelove]

So I listen to you in the mornings as I get ready and then when I sit down to do computer work for work that requires thinking, writing and reading and I mute you so I could focus but keep you on bc then I feel lonely if I turn you off completely 😅 and then I put you back on volume when I take you to my car to drive to work.

[@yamelove]

And I gotta say the thing that makes getting out of bed easier is knowing I get to listen to you. I feel like you are so positive and really give off baby step commands that are attainable.

[@AnnellGibson-qg8cp]

We love you the way you are.😊

[@emilyboggess4426]

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

[@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 ❤❤❤❤

Absolutely 💯 , ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@elizabethsydnor5247]

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.

[@ArtyAntics]

You have learned the art of stimming 💜

[@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?

[@trishferrer8209]

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

[@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...

[@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.

[@hesterferrezuelo7235]

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

[@MsDoglover02]

Thanks for this! ❤

[@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.

[@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.

[@karenrich9092]

As I watched this video again, I think the concept of fear of the unknown comes to mind. How many boxes of stuff are there to sort and declutter? If you can see that, then you can make time to declutter one box a day. I have as much as 40 years of stuff in my house and if I set aside one hour for each part of my house (office, kitchen, and bedrooms), then it will get done. Otherwise it will stay a disaster forever. Thanks again for your motivation - or did I get it from Tony and Mel Robbins?

[@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

[@lyndacatch4554]

Great motivation!!! There’s a song called “Lets All Chant” I’m going to sing that everyday 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.

[@vaydadallas1329]

[@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
