*hustle culture is quaking*

Hustle culture, toxic productivity, internalised capitalism... oof. There's so much more I can say on this, but here's a rambley start. Just a reminder that investing in your mental health is productive. Hanging out with friends should not make you feel guilty. Balance balance balance.

Love love love hearing this from you Caitlin!! I can completely relate to the gap year feeling. Without any external structure, you can feel like you're floating a bit and not doing anything "productive".

[@CHarlotte-ro4yi]

This culture of striving high destroyed my mental health at your age. I struggled at university, had exam anxiety and mental breakdowns and panic attacks literally in the first week of the new semester. Now at 24 and currently in my masters I treasure the process way more than the grade. I appreciate learning something new everyday and I know exactly that there are only so many hours I want to spent on studying during a day since there are other things in life such as sports, food and friends. Turns out my grades improved with this approach not to even mention my mental health. Such a good and important video and so glad you do have this realization this early in your life.

Same here. I struggled very badly and had anxiety disorder. Slowly I had started to feel better and study well. I even passed with very good grades. And now I'm about to give a competitive exam and everything is crashing down. Study stress became so much like everyone around just talked about study study and study . Teachers will be like you're going to fail if you don't study 12 hrs a day or sleep more than 7/8 hrs. Now I'm dealing with very bad depression. It's hard to even get out of bed and just thought of studying makes it worse. I don't know what went wrong. I was very studious and bright kid since I know myself. Now I don't know how am I even going to give my exam .

@@samisjournal2725 I am so incredibly sorry for you and I know the feeling of not knowing what went wrong and how to fix it. It took some time to admit to myself that in fact it was mental and not that I just wasn’t good enough (which I was). Eventually I reached out to the student service who also can provide a psychological support which helped me a lot. I would recommend to talk to someone who can help you professionally, just as a broken arm needs a surgeon a hurting soul needs a psychologist and there is nothing wrong with that. Hope you will get better soon! Lots of love ❤️

But there's only one, and before you know it, your heart is worn out, and, as for your body, there comes a point when no one looks at it, much less wants to come near it." Thank you for your videos and for being so inspiring, Jade! You're an amazing human being! S2

[@katiiee3000]

I had an interview as a graduate five years ago in a big marketing agency, I had to stand up and introduce myself in front of 50 people and there where rounds of the process like x-factor. One of the interviewers asked me after I'd introduced myself If I was motivated by making money. I said no, I wasn't and I didn't get the job (surprise). I'm motivated by doing acts of service and human interaction. Long story short I've got one year left of my midwifery degree and caring for people in the NHS is where I belong, I'll never earn big bucks and I have two degrees to slowly pay back to SFE. But the happiness and casual magic I see every day will always will my pockets and my heart more than anything else.

I so resonate with your message, Jade. I lost a dear friend this week and he was only 23. This hustle culture did not even let me grief as I had to go back to work within 3 days after his demise. I cried so much watching this video. Hopefully, I will grow up and make life slow because that's how I like it.

Jade: hustle culture is quaking Me: I work for 1hr and then stop working.

You are so right, Jade. Imagine a culture where time taken to process emotion was actually valued. As a man, I especially feel like this is not valued, not even accepted. I hope for a world where our values change and that the time we spend on self care, with friends, meditating etc. is acknowledged as something valuable and necessary for thriving in life, both professionally and personally.

[@katfran492]

I think “celebrating the slow” depends on which age bracket you fall within. When I was younger, it was all about the hustle. Somewhere around age 47, the hustle wasn’t what was important. I no longer obsess about work and when I log out for the day, I do not think about work. I enjoy the quiet, spending time with friends, going out to eat and traveling.

I hear this everytime and I couldn't agree more. But honestly for me personally I always get a bit angry. I struggled now for years to get my ass to the desk and concentrate for just the shortest amount of time to get stuff done. It is really not about motivation or the wrong topics I had to study for, it is simply in my nature that I procrastinate and get distracted a lot. This is by all means nothing against Jade or any other person who speaks about this, because they are so right. But just regarding people who are trapped in this societal norm. I just wished more people would talk about people who weren't productive and can be proud of themselves when they got stuff done. Sometimes it just seems nowadays it is more valuable to ,,can't help yourself and be soooooo productive but to be strong enough to take 1 hour to yourself" I honestly pray that this does not come off the wrong way, I hope some people recognize maybe a friend of theirs in this and know that every person has different struggles and support them in theirs😅 Wish you all a nice day 🥰

I totally agree

[@whyisgamora4191]

Exactly. I'm also just a naturally more chill person, on vacations I can just sit in the sun and enjoy the view and I can do this for hours, or just read a book in the shade surrounded by nature. I don't enjoy living a hectic stressful life when there's always another thing to do or another deadline in front of me, sometimes I truly wonder why society drifted so far apart from nature to this. I value academic succes but I'm so bad at staying concentrated, especially for the classes that are in my curriculum but really aren't in any way related to my major (so I feel like it's not useful or boring). So then I start stressing, then procrastinating, feel bad about procrastinating, stress even more, ... It's a vicious cycle.

I learn as much from your videos as from my uni degree.

jade your content is levellING UP!! love love love the message behind this video!! not giving into societal pressure is literally the reason why i packed up my life and moved abroad 😌

[@mytraaavels]

wow that's exactly what I am going through right now. I just had my own pep talk the other day and it feels so good to hear it from another perspective again. Thank you for sharing xoxo

[@wild.endeavours]

How do your videos always come out at the exact moments I need to be told these things?! You go girl!

[@user-di4js6xw9n]

everytime jade uploads, it coincidentally comes up as an answer to a problem in my life/question I've been pondering on for wayyy too long and idk how this happens, but i am so fricckin grateful, bc if not for jade i wouldn't have been able to move on from my rejection from my dream uni (i still haven't fully moved on but i kinda have lol) , so THANK YOU JADE!❤️ i hope i meet you irl one day! you're my biggest inspiration✨

[@anahita596]

[@mayas.7364]

You can't believe how much the first part of the video just helped me❤️ very inspiring and true, we tend to forget that happiness includes way more than a career

[@naomiettrick2973]

This honesty (including letting us in on the breakup) is so helpful. It's been a rough few weeks and I have struggled to let myself process the emotion. Part of it is not liking to feel sad (who does, right?) but part of it is this hustle culture. 💙

[@nadchodzideszcz]

Thank you so much for this video. I really understand what you feel. And now I will try to focus on relaxing, because I need it today. I keep my fingers crossed for all the people, who are struggling with the feeling of guilt while taking a break, resting and taking care of yourself. Hope we will find the balanse and just relax, have fun and be happy in the moment

[@rimrimybz]

[@jannahdelelijs6337]

[@himanshudutta4663]

As someone who always feels the need to be working, this video was such a blessing. Thank you so much Jade - I definitely want to live slower - and feel more ALIVE

[@cristinagarrido3577]

It’s not the fact you achieved high academically but it’s because of your mindset the way you talk to us like we’re your best friends. Honestly jade your the sweetest person I’ve come across you talk in a way that captivates everyone in such a nice way I’m in year 11 and always watching your study/motivation videos on repeat why? You made them and i trust you wholesomely.
