I recently lived through some traumatic events and I have to remind myself that the "slump" I'm currently in isn't like the others I've experienced and I've been slowly crawling out of it and I've implemented some of the tips you've mentioned over the past few months, so I just wanted to mention to anyone who needs to hear this: Getting out of a slump isn't always linear and sometimes you're going to need to start recovering from scratch again and it's going to feel daunting. But if you don't want to get better for yourself, get better for the people who care about you and the people who you will soon meet and care about you as well ❤

[@lenalifts]

Holy crap! I have been watching “self help” videos every day for the past 2 weeks and nothing. KZbin recommended one of your videos to me and I’m obsessed with you! Like all the other videos I watched we like “my life is so great this is what you do to be great” but you’re so real and actually helpful! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 never stop! Thank you for what you do!

Your vulnerability on your channel as of late is so admirable. I’m so happy you found the courage to move past some of those heartbreaks that are just a part of life at the end of the day. You are thriving! Hearing about the harder times you had makes watching you now even more special 🥰

[@rubyr2217]

Ive been in such a slump recently. I’ve been getting rejected from grad school programs i worked so hard on applying to over the past year & its been so discouraging. I’ve been snoozing my alarms, skipping the gym and meals, watching more Netflix and reading less, and letting my space get a mess. I’m trying to look at it like you said: what’s meant for me will come to me and that helps with that mindset shift I need. Needed this video today Lena, always brightens my day when you post, thank you for the video

[@donishaaaa]

Reading your comment was exactly my life 5 years ago. I was rejected from grad school programs for two years and as you mentioned it truly is discouraging. The rejection practically sucked the life right out of me. Five years later and I'm the happiest I've ever been; I had to chose a different path because I started to believe maybe I wasn't meant to be apart of the medical field. Ruby I know first hand that what your going through is tough but I'm a testament to you; just know that this slump isn't forever whether you chose to reapply or chose a different path. A year from now or 5 years from now you'll look back on this grad school hurdle and realize your comeback was even stronger. Good luck and blessings to you and your future endeavors 😊

[@rubyr2217]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@donishaaaathats exactly my life right now, getting rejected from grad school after grad school. It’s been so discouraging because its what I’ve been working towards for the past 7+ years of my life between undergrad and the gap years I’ve been taking to gain clinical experience. Thank you for your reply its nice to hear from someone who’s been down a similar path. Im so glad to hear you are the happiest you’ve ever been

[@savannahnathan9483]

I love that you said "if my average self can do it so can you." I feel like there's this pressure to be special in some way, like if someone is successful it's because they're special, not average. Babes we ALL are average and THATS NOT A BAD THING!! It's cool and refreshing to know that I am like the average humans from hundreds of thousands of years ago, and if they can be successful, so can I :) Thanks for the compassionate and practical advice, Lena!

I happened upon your channel a few days ago, and it has been amazing. You speak to so many things I struggle with, and from a faith based point of view which is so refreshing. I had been struggling with being overwhelmed, anxiety, and having so many expectations and you have helped me so much! Thank you for taking the time to put out the content that you do!!!

I just stumbled over this video while searching on how to get out if a slump and I immediately subscribed because she just has such an amazing energy seems so relatable and that’s exactly what i need

[@mm61777]

god Lena thank you so much for these videos! I've been in a slump for 3 years now, like, some days I even don't feel like "myself", bc I used to be super productive and healthy and positive. But these videos make me feel less alone and make me know that I'm not the only one who has experienced this. I've been a subscriber of you for more than 3 years now and I'm so grateful for you❤

[@SarahSchneider2]

Love these tips. Some days you end up having to really push yourself to get through it. Usually what helps me is thinking of the next fun event I have planned. It’s easy when it’s days away but gets harder when that next fun event is weeks or months away.

[@vaiju.]

hey Lena! I really love your channel ! You're one of my favourite youtubers ever and your videos are amazing. I've always wanted to change my life for the better and your videos played a really important role for helping me change. Now i'm actually eating healthier, working out and being consistent with everything. Thank you girl!! ❤❤

bro thank you, i literally needed to see this and hear this today. i've been holding off for the longest and everyday i tell myself i will start.

[@katiewalsh7719]

Currently in a slump and convinced myself to hit the gym, watched this on the treadmill. Couldn’t have come at a more perfect time

[@jackiebotello857]

"When it rains, it pours" is so true. I hear this so much w in my family. I've recently lived this after my car accident, everything seemed to fall off and add more to stress, but I kept pushing forward and praying to God to give me the strength to indure the trials in my life. At this moment, I'm so grateful that I didn't give up even when things stacked against me. Had my anniversary party and it went amazing!

[@FitnessForLife-lz8ll]

Lena thank you so much for your positive energy! I look forward to more of your content! This is the most self destructive slump Ive ever been in! From losing my job to possibly my eternal flame because I became stuck in a fear state that I’m sure originated from conditioning mixed with a victim mentality! This video was almost heaven sent for me! Thank you 🙏 so much Kurt

[@claudiamyers396]

I have watched so many self help stuff but I have to say, I have never resonated with some more, especially being in such a vulnerable place right now. Keep up the good work and being your authentic self ♥️

Girl, your talk made me feel like i was talking to a good friend. Thank you for doing what you do ❤️. I literally have the most comfortable life there could be. I have people who wholeheartedly live and care about me. Still i keep feeling like letting the time pass by and worrying about it. I keep thinking of myself less good than everyone else. Like they have more focus, more bravery more efficiency and so on.

[@chaunguyenminh13]

I recently got my internship, and working 8 hours a day for a girl who is in a slump (watching youtube, movies all day, only getting out of bed for meals and bathroom) is truly hard to get in the cycle at the first place. But luckily I am figuring out how to still take care of myself and get into the routine. Im so related to this video Lena ❤ love this

[@wiktoriakorzeniewska1859]

Hi Lena! Thank you for this video, I am slowly getting out of ''slump''. Your 6 week program really helped me. Everyday I am feeling stronger and more confident. I am still upset about my job position, money and so on, but everyday I am trying to improve myself. And I know that better time will come soon. Thank you! Keep doing what you doing. You helping a lot of girls.

i found your videos so randomly but i am so happy i did because it feels like we are best friends hyping up each other. i really am hitting a slump atm and i am trying to embrace the laziness since i know it caused by overworking myself. i do hope that i get out of it, your video was so motivating like always

[@ratatatat777]

I love this perspective. I always thought that if i was feeling a slump coming that I should try even harder and work more, and then I’d just end up burnt out. I worry taking self care days will only make my slump worse but this actually makes so much sense

[@emanasifkhan1310]

Girl this is the second video of yours that I’ve watched & I just love you! Your words literally change perspectives! I never thought I speak down to myself because I’ve come a long way on this self-love journey buttttt I do think that I can’t be consistent. That simply isn’t true, I can do whatever I want to. There are literally no limitations. You made me realise this! I don’t have to accept negative things about myself when I have the power to change it ykwim? Thank you so much! I’ll be watching your videos a lot more in the future ❤

[@shay9431]

When it rains, it POURS is so real ✋️😭 But I def needed this video right about now. Uni application season has tested me beyond comparison. Never been more tired and felt so hopeless in my entire life. It esp sucks when you're doing everything you need to do but the cards that you were dealt just arent in your favour. Im still going through it but im really learning to embrace the "rejection is redirection" "you dont get certain things because you deserve more/better" and my personal fav "what is meant for you, is already yours" mentality
