things to do when you're having a bad day | VLOG 26

things I did on a not so great day!
I was originally not going to film but I decided that it might be nice to share a day where things feel really heavy and it seems like everything is going opposite to plan. This year especially has been tough for so many, so if you're out there and you're having a hard time right now then I'm thinking of you, praying for you and am wishing things fall back into your favour sooner than you expect!
Thanks again for spending time with me, another trip down journal lane makes me misty eyed by how far we've come together.
One day we'll look back on 2020 and feel that even stronger, I'm certain of it!

[@laurelquarentine9394]

Thank you. Glad to go down memory lane and end up back in this moment. :) Honestly it was just chill to follow along an eventful turn of events type of day. Commence the rest of my day (home sierra festival Weekend :) and cleaning my kitchen.. happy july 2 2020

[@Makeupdelicious1984]

This video proves that I've been here for aaaaaaaaages! Sometimes I read my old diaries and think "woow, who wrote that? It sounds so deep and well written!" 🤣 but I usually burn them down after 2 years, because I am afraid that others in the house could read them too.

[@tracybhagwandin8797]

You should do giveaways on youtube of things you find and that are meaningful

[@daniwalker9616]

I’ve watched you since I was a teen in highschool. I’m now married with a toddler and another baby on the way. Crazy, you’ve helped me through so many different times. I used to put your coffee talk videos on my tv when my baby was a newborn because I was struggling with postpartum anxiety and depression. I’m in such a better place but the point is you’ve been somehow relevant in my life through all the ups and downs. Isn’t that crazy? That I don’t even know you except through a screen. What a world.

[@patriciadye7797]

how’d you know i needed this. i was literally sitting here thinking “i’m having such a shitty day. i have no idea what would help” and then i got notified. ✨✨

[@Thefitty]

It's a SIGN!

[@danimc3865]

Same here!!!

[@cleahogan98]

same here !!

[@elliejo9910]

My whole day today has been me ‘trying to turn around a bad day’. I did a load of things to cheer myself up and then this video popped up. What is going onnnn

[@tiffanyann8258]

I’ll pray that you’re having a brighter day today! I love you and the rest of the squad here does too :)

[@akivi622]

Aw, the one about your heartbreak 💔 honestly those are my favorite journal entries to read because it really gives perspective. I can look back on how I really thought I wasn’t going to survive, yet here I am surviving and not even thinking about him anymore 🥰

[@JustJosh]

To the 1% of people that read this comment.. hope you have a great day/night!❤️From a small youtube vlogger!

[@baileysadler5212]

I'm quitting nicotine and tomorrow is my birthday. I've been feeling soooooooo off this week. Today especially, this video was, much needed 🥰

[@dominoKZ]

Good luck!!

[@KristensClassroom]

Happy Birthday, Bailey! I will send you a Starbucks card for your birthday!! DM me on IG :)

[@mslovely445]

Me to good luck

[@jennysterg322]

Happy birthday! Quitting nicotine requires so much strength - you’re amazing for taking that step, don’t forget that 💪🏻

[@jessicalygo2708]

Happy birthday!! I hope it's a good one for you. Sending love💛

[@cr-hx2gp]

I love everything about koze because it is authentic 💜💜💜

[@melissakolb]

the end of the video: “when it hasn’t been your day, your month, or even your year.” MAJOR FRIENDS VIBES 💕💕💕

[@noura4450]

I’m having the worst day this week and you just saved me without even opening the video, because I know you always do. I’m not just saying that. It’s 100% true. Thank you for your kindness, warm heart, and brilliant mind.

[@NanaSladurana]

After watching your videos I'm always so inspired to get up, get my sh*t together and just do me, you know? It's just the energy that you bring, the light that you have in you that makes a person feel better. Keep doing what you do, girl! We appreciate it!

[@user-ep8bk5ku6g]

Also, you've been starting to wear necklaces. AND THEY LOOK GREAT ON YOU.

[@tasnufasharmin7376]

Whenever I’m having a bad day, I just go to youtube then your channel and play...😔😔

[@barbos.calator]

Travel Video from Asia - Africa -Europe on my channel. I'm waiting for you if you like .thanks !

[@Klara_is_finding_herself]

Same here 🙂

[@Thefitty]

*Who else keeps their old journals?* 😀😉

[@grace_beauty]

I love how I don't even have to watch the video to like and love and appreciate and be inspired by it. 💜

[@evermorenata]

I always feel better when I watch your videos, it's like your the best friend I never had. We're the same age, and you inspire me, I don't feel adult enough, I don't feel accomplished and I don't know what the heck I'm doing with my life, but to see your positivity through the roller coaster makes me hopeful.

[@logankinner541]

You make me always want to strive for the best in my life no matter what it is. Thank you!

[@Harmony2k2]

Do you know what’s scary yesterday I was having a rough day and I watched your 2017 video on having a bad day when you broke your laptop and got a copy right claim on a video and it made me feel better but today started out rough so I’m thankful you made another one 😭🙏❤️

[@alexandria7107]

Legit one of my favourite videos!!! Discovered her channel when I first got into the helping professional field and really started feeling burnout. Her videos have always helped me when I’m having a crummy day!

[@dandiiiful]

So special that you have all those journals to look back on! 💙

[@bilyanabalkanska2977]

Always looking forward to your videos

[@Vimarobabooks]

I don’t encourage you having bad days but I do really love when you share your bad days bc I put them on when I’m feeling kinda sad to remind myself that I’m not alone. Thanks Kalyn for creating a caring community for us.

[@carelwanderlust]

WHAT A PERFECT TIMING TO UPLOAD THIS! I’ve had a terrible couple of days. This is helpful! Thank you!

[@Aaabbbccc108]

We do want the de clutter video, ohhh yes we need that lol 💖

[@sukaijanine]

I swear you always post exactly what I need to hear/see

[@lorellamarie9211]

Somehow this deeply grounded me. I feel healed

[@megantzeernkhor4998]

thank you so much for your content kalyn

[@jayceenicole6563]

Just got broken up with and I needed this.

[@arianafalkner1278]

This uplifted me so much, thank you Kalyn!

[@loomonda18]

Wow idk what's in the air but soo many KZbinrs have been posting these "feeling shitty" videos lately!! I've definitely been feeling off, so it's nice knowing we're not alone!

[@ramamo_]

I'm really happy that you are happy, your mind and soul reflect on your face. Thank you for making me feel inner peace everytime i hear your voice and seeing your smile. Love you Kalyn xoxo💙

[@differentbeauty101]

girl I seriously love and appreciate your videos so much. keep doin you :)

[@Sara-uw5sc]

You inspired me to start writing again, thank you😊⭐️

[@tamahtaylor348]

Hi, your channel just showed up and I am going to start watching. Here to say, time goes by so quickly. I am much older than you. I've kept journals for over 30 years and like to go back and read them. I laughed when you said you didn't even remember who you were crying over. Been there! One day, you'll be like me and wonder where the time has gone. I remember starting my teaching career and now here I am into early retirement! How did I go from 20s to 50s so fast? Now, trying to find my "new normal" is what I am personally dealing with. I guess I'll keep doing what has worked. Place one foot in front of the other and take it one day at a time. Thanks for your encouraging words. New subscriber.

[@emilytess5313]

Kalyn that bad day video from 2016 is one of my all time favourite videos!

[@ragecleaner]

You reading your journals made me realize how damn long i’ve been here! 2015 was five years ago ?? Omgosh

[@mercedesmartinez8650]

Ugh sooooo needed this video:) Awww little Bentley♡

[@kaitlynwhinery2619]

So needed right now! Thank you!

[@nati9795]

Needed this today.

[@Jennifer_Mendoza432]

Who else is going to re watch all her old videos 🙋‍♀️ They help me when I have a bad day or just need some motivation 🌸💕

[@moodyjournal]

"I dont even remember my man back then" 🤣🤣🤣I love that line....I'm going to be that women one day and say this same line🤣🤣💕

[@elliejo9910]

I feel like we’ve all been having a bad day lately. Clearly some kinda moon-universe-planet shit going on.

[@hettijayne]

Your videos as of late are absaloutely everything atm! I love them 🙌🏼 could you please do a video on how to find hobbies you enjoy ? I know that’s probably a real basic question or maybe a video on all the hobbies you have done. I’m in a point in my life where I wanna take up a hobby. For so long fitness/diet culture was everything and I’m slowly losing that part of myself I wanna find something new and exciting with all this free time and mental space.

[@lucyw4543]

Please write a book using your journal entries! It would be amazing!

[@learningtodraw1396]

Damn girl you've put some muscle on those legs. Lookin' hella fine. 🔥🔥🔥

[@user-ep8bk5ku6g]

But what if you don't have friends to lean on? ):

[@aditirananaware8015]

you can always make one here. hey there, hope you're feeling much better now)

[@spanditanandi8560]

In that case, you appreciate that maybe the universe has decided you will be happier without friends. You embrace that, you get therapy, you read articles on medium and thought catalog, engage in some hobbies, get Netflix or something, you workout and meditate daily and focus on nutrition and sleep, and become the best possible friend for yourself. Sending you much love❤️.

[@tiffanyann8258]

You can lean on your KZbin friends :)

[@GimlifigliodiGloin197]

Love you so much 💖 Just a bad day, not a bad life

[@jaydencraigie]

It’s like you read my mind! This is exactly what I needed right now 💕

[@bleedingwolfsbane]

Ah this makes me wish I was better at keeping up with my journaling. 😭😭😭

[@hollygrodt6824]

I really needed this video today!! thank you for lifting my spirits once again

[@betulcetinkaya7157]

That's what I needed today

[@zakiaselim2321]

Already know I am going to love this video, the same as every video you make!! I love how we express our feelings and to notice that it’s okay to not always be okay. Taking time to listen to your body and mind and reflect is a great way to have a better positive mindset. Love you!!

[@JustBeingAnia]

OMG YES I've been watching Modern Family. That is my GO TO SHOW RIGHT NOW. And I have the same sewing machine but in white and green! Look at these synchronistic VIBBEESSS.

[@Thefitty]

*Oh man. Every day seems to be an up and down. Sometimes I just wish 😭😱 they could be less turbulent; always up, you know?* But the law of polarity talks about having contrast. I'd love the downs to be a little brighter and optimistic than heatt-tearing.

[@GloriaStanley95]

girl you are rockin those earrings

[@Thefitty]

*When you're having a bad day....whip out a kayln video binge fest. :) 🤗*

[@PatchaXEtaw]

I did came back to watch it on my bad day...thank you

[@carolin741]

Right now it feels like every day is a bad day so thank you for helping me realize that that’s not permanent ✨ the discord chat definitely helps too, just everyone sharing how they feel and what’s helping them to feel better.. so thank you, you’re amazing💖

[@jordyb8742]

is it okay to like before watching? lol. Love you!!!!!

[@Miss_Annlaug]

Bahahahaha! I always do that too with Kalyn: like and then watch. Hahahaha! It's never failed I love her videos

[@jordyb8742]

Annlaug Maria Tolo honestly!

[@antoniaguzman5464]

You’re like- the only youtuber that I’ve seen wearing a face mask 🙃

[@honeybeeathome]

This came at the perfect time. 🖤 Watching your videos is always something I like doing on a bad day!! Especially the old Youtober playlists.

[@justplainoldmegz7023]

I love how relatable this is!

[@michellemiller4610]

Girl, your legs are looking amazingly fit and well toned. Those spandex shorts are making them pop in all the right ways! 🥰😍

[@verubu2578]

haha something comforting in the background.. Bentley 😂♥️🐶

[@HarryThomasPictures]

Your the best, I’ve had a dozen bad days this year and a bad Friday last week but this was exactly what I needed to cheer me up. Hope you have a good day💛✨!

[@HeatherCutright]

That moment when you realize your journal sounds like a kid in elementary school wrote it as an assignment 😅😅 Literally my journal is just like, "I exercised today and filmed a video. I was in a bad mood, but did it anyway. I'm proud of myself for that." Oh well lol. You can journal however you want. It doesn't have to be fancy or well-written. It is still fun to look back at years later regardless.

[@shaydaison]

Been your follower since 3 years ago. You had 2M subs back then if I remember it right. Why are you losing subs? You have great content 😭

[@MorellaFuentes]

Is your friend Latino? i heard that he said verga and thats a particular venezuelan word, hahahaha im venezuelan and i just couldnt be more excited to heard that hahahaha

[@Nico940710]

I should go through my journals, but man my journals haven been depressed since forever...

[@myrainyteardrops]

"and we just keep holding on" almost had me in tears there...

[@kasandra1641]

I lost my job in march due to pandemic, now I found out that I didn't get to my uni course I was going to work my life around for next 2 years, so I have no job or idea what to do next. PERFECT time for this video

[@sarasaurier]

Awww, that sucks. Hope everything works out for you ❤

[@kirstenlouwes6852]

OMG I saw that DIY journal and I remember I made the exact same one inspired by your video and for a sec I thought you were holding my journal😂♥️

[@Lexi0626]

I've only been journalig since 3 years but not everyday (a few days a month), but you inspired me to look up my old posts (I write it online) and thankfully, I worte something execately one year ago this day. I quit my job to go travelling and I was meeting with my best friend to talk it out, but he tried to kiss me which confused me af. Today, he is still my best friend, I went travelling for 2,5 months and now I work at the same job.

[@niloufarb.3413]

Loved this video so much... Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us you literally brighten up my day ♥️

[@indiamchan2100]

Needed this thanks😌

[@elisescott7012]

We’re literally 6 months away to 2021

[@Mathata00]

You have no idea how much that 2016 bad day vlog meant to me back then: I struggled and your videos kept me going. I rewatched that video for years; its the most important video you ever made for me. So the fact that you mentioned it made me think how far we have all gotten💕

[@bellak.h4160]

You're a blessing i swear

[@nnoemi_]

I deleted snapchat today where I can see my crush ~weekly or so and it feels a bit sad but also freeing.

[@inspiredbydiane]

Random thought! I first started following you, Kalyn, after I found your messy bun tutorial 😂 but now that I have been following you for a while, it's apparent that you've become such an inspiration to me. Now I want to journal more and reflect like you. Plus, I appreciate your optimism but also realism. Hope you're doing well Kalyn ✨

[@stefanies.4334]

OMG - your videos make me so happy. I'm studying for my board exam next week to become a dentist. AND let me tell you - I'm so stressed out about everything in my life. The change thats going to happen. New home, fist time really working, first time all on my own and of course the exam only a few days from now. But taking the time, watching your videos is so motivating and relaxing. Thank you for all the love and light and happiness you spread.

[@laurenking1638]

2017 was a good year best year actully the year i came out as lauren! and started my transition

[@admirbarucija2018]

I hope you have the best weekend Kalyn!! Your videos are capable of turning pretty bad days into great ones ❤️

[@momoberri]

please, do the de-cluttering...trying to de-cutter my life and it seems like a daunting task at the moment

[@crinabalan8167]

Right video for today 💖🌸 I apreciate your work so much 💕

[@AnastasiaBruma]

Hey!! It's so needed now! Thank you and have a nice day!!❤️

[@Kyethecreator]

“You have to be your sun.” Ahhhhh I instantly thought of that Greys Anatomy episode when Christina had to remind Meredith that she’s the sun 😭😭😭😭😭 (I don’t remember the exact quote). But it is such a powerful and true statement that can apply to any and everyone. Be your own sun! 🙏🏾

[@ansleycorson479]

love! instant mood uplift

[@carlyward7743]

You always come through for us Kalyn 🥺❤️ I love you so much.

[@AnEditedLife]

[@twentysomethingyearold]

hey Kalyn 💜 did you private your bad day video from 2016? I used to watch it every time I was feeling down & it would always make me feel better, but I can't find it anymore. Love you.

[@MariJadeWrites]

I have been having a couple bad days in a row where my mind would just go into overthinking things mode and this video is such a good way to feel connected and know that bad days will go away and a new day or season will come :) thank you

[@paginasypalabras_]

Please, do a journaling video!! Inspiration, how you journal...
