Hi lovelies, do you sometimes feel like life is always set on hard mode? In this video I dive into an idea that has stuck with me for the past few days, using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs of map out the stress levels in life from more severe to less severe. A little bit unusual but I do hope you find this helpful.
Love, Poppy xx

Poverty trauma is real. It rarely is just poverty, abuse and other things are frequently associated. Some people who have only known survival mode and have been hammered by life have a tendency to either be really hard or really soft emotionally. Thank you for the reminder that we need to heal.

[@theladyalchemist._]

Literally what I tell people. Living in poverty and around violence effects your nervous system so much. After years of illnesses I’m just now discovering it all stemmed my nervous system being overactive, and now I’ve been healing so much. Also healing my root and sacral chakras

[@gavinfurtado2302]

I have been in a state of survival all my life even though I am from a middle class background, I have always felt unsafe emotionally, financially & physically. But now I am changing all that, MOVING TO THRIVE MODE.

I'm on the right track! I wanted to have a better life and I decided to start off small. Meeting my basic needs like learning to cook healthy and tasty foods, maintaining a clean living space and having good morning and sleep routines. I'm just starting but it feel reassuring to see others agree.

[@reinventingpoppy]

Good on you and I bet you feel sooo much better too right? It's incredible how small changes can have such a huge impact!

[@antaresvasto7343]

@@reinventingpoppy Ohh yeah most definitely. And all these small changes are also very empowering! It just feels like I can have some control again if that makes any sense...

[@MaffyTaffyHaffy]

I think it’s so important to get your body moving. I know they always say go for a walk and go outside if you have depression, but guess what? It works. And I’m finally figuring that out because I’m working out again and my body and mind feels so much better. There are literally sometimes that my body is so sore and exhausted. My brain can’t do it to usual BS it does. The mind and body are interconnected what you do to the body will affect the mind and the mind will affect the body. Be very aware of this.

[@papayaylimon]

nothing pulls me out of a funk more than yoga or a nice little walk. My car recently broke down and I can’t afford to fix it yet so I got a used bike to ride to work and the grocery store and it’s been such a blessing in disguise as well :)

[@feetforward75]

I don't let social pressure tell me what to believe and how to think.

[@feetforward75]

I avoid negative folks. I am always being myself, if others can't let me be me, I drop them.

[@EllaPuddo]

That helped me realize how much I’ve been putting weight and hardship through my journey. Thank you for helping me realize the key points to slow down and just focus on one thing at a time.

[@astrostar49]

Glad I saw this video before I went to bed. Especially since the last 3 days for me has been really rough. Been dealing with a health issue the last few months (eye floater), and it's led to some pretty bad anxiety, and it just spiraled out of control recently which even brought about some dark thoughts. Made some life changes like exercising every day, eating better, meditation, seeing a therapist, but it's been a struggle to not fall into a pit of mental anguish leading to feelings of despair, and hopelessness. Then the structure I've tried to build for myself takes a it. I'll try to keep your words in mind, because you made some good points. Cheers, and much love.

[@reinventingpoppy]

Sorry to hear that, I can imagine how that would have an impact to your well-being in general. Hope the doctors will be able to do something about it ❤

[@cookieLaLa94]

I heard putting castor oil on your eyelids before going to sleep every night can help with eye floaters, I’ve never tried it myself and I’m not sure if it will help or not but it’s something you might want to look into. I hope you can find healing soon

[@astrostar49]

@@cookieLaLa94 Yeah I heard about that. Might give it a go in the future. For now I've turned to hypnotherapy, nutrition, and consistent exercise just to try to bring the anxiety down. Also found staying busy with a few goals helps me break even mentally. Having a quality support system of friends, and family has really assisted me too more than I thought it would. Anyway thanks for the comment. Hopefully I ultimately figure this out :)

[@acaughey09]

So sorry, health problems and anxiety are literally the worst. Feels like such a loss of control. Wishing you comfort and good health

An informative and motivating video. The "to sum everything up"-board at the end is a great idea. Every video should have that. Thanx and greetings from germany.

[@EcomCarl]

Insightful video on the connection between Maslow's hierarchy of needs and daily stress management. It's a powerful reminder that fulfilling our foundational needs not only stabilizes our lives but also empowers us to pursue higher aspirations with greater effectiveness and less stress. 🌟

[@melancholyX247]

5:09 This is the most honest video I ever seen today 💕 and it's true what you said about shelter and relationships and their opinions who we consider close.

[@feetforward75]

recognize what is relevant and ignore the rest. that is how I am successful in my work, mental health, and financial prosperity.

[@jonpauldelange]

Really well done. I like how you used Maslow to connect the dots between your talking points. Love your calm approach too. 😊 Thank you. 🙏🏼

[@haraya222]

Seriously! I’ve been burn out and lost, trying to fully redirect my whole life. And it’s difficult to figure out what to prioritize. Maslow hierarchy is a guiding light. 🙏🏽

[@kindrafontes-may8360]

This is such a helpful video and genuinely resonated with me! So glad that I found your channel.

[@zoeollie202]

This is something that I know logically but having it spoken to me is waking me up to it. I’m moving from my in laws who are selling the house in an area far from my college and the school I want my child in. I am moving in with a good family friend I’ve been with before and going back to a safe neighborhood. The only time I’ve done well in life was living in that city with her. When I live in a safe place, my life does splendid, when a setback brings me back into poverty it’s years of fighting to just get back. I’ve had to move every six months to a year for a very long time and it feels like I’m always trying to learn my new schedule, the new shops and prices, the routes, if I can get new furniture, if I’ll be able to keep it. I sometimes compare myself to others I went to school with and have to remember they lived in one place for twenty years with two parents.

[@user-xq9ix9gk9z]

[@intilestari3443]

Thank you for your tips, i used to on hard mode everyday, i ve tried yoga and other work out, its nice to the body and mind temporarily, but in my case its not enough, everyday repeats same hard mode, because people keep pestering you to get your job done fast or always push you to get their demand, even you want to take it easy and slow your pace ...even you dont want overtime but you couldnt get away because your boss or other employee waiting your job done, also they are toxic and just throwing all job to you, wants to get other side of life but not lucky with relationship and family member all toxic people, I couldnt run or avoid them. I wonder what should I do?

[@JilTheReal]

This is simply not true. The psychologist mentioned the different kinds of needs but he never ranked them. Instead it was motivational coaches who did the ranking. And of course, your bandwidth is smaller if you have issues in your life, but your needs are not limited to the basic needs just because the basics are lacking. A person who is self-fulfilled but struggles on the daily to pay the rent is still happier than a person who has neither.
