[@Kyethecreator]

“Goodbye New Years resolutions, you barely existed.” Facts!! 😂 “Don’t be hard on your cravings.” Say less. 😶

[@Klara_is_finding_herself]

Yes! ☺

[@mmowec8159]

Lol @ you barely existed. Accurate af hahaha

[@palakjain406]

I also got two sides in quarantine 1. Taking care of myself from proper skincare to cozy night with movies to not overworking myself to taking up new hobbies to reconnecting with old hobbies. 2. Hating myself thinking I'm dumb and can't do anything in life.

[@keeshamelissa9292]

Palak jain this is sooooo true

[@user-ep8bk5ku6g]

Also, I think your content recently has been inspirational in a healthy (mentally) way and that's so awesome.

[@annesbalance9191]

Foteini K totally agree on that ❤️🙏

[@smukkeputtemiin]

And not to mention accepting 😍 like accepting of everything

[@ariadnaseguraramirez5259]

Completely agree, I love it

[@mmowec8159]

Agreed!

[@620annika]

I agree

[@user-ep8bk5ku6g]

Kalyn, ugh, I just wanted to say that for the past year I've been feeling so alone, I've lost so many friends and life has just been a little difficult in general. So thank you for being a constant in my life, really excited to watch the new video. Love you

[@KalynNicholson]

thank you for also being a constant 💛💛 the feeling is so mutual

[@Thefitty]

I would love to be your friend! So that you don't have to feel alone :-) I mean it. Why don't you reach out on Instagram and we can start chatting??

[@nicolemagtibay8353]

This authenticity and vulnerability make us feel less alone. Thank you, Kalyn!

[@mmowec8159]

Agreed

[@mialynnrivera3700]

“Nature doesn’t rush, yet everything gets done.” Love that! 😍🙌🏽 Amazing, Kalyn! XO

[@Alex-ir5jt]

I’ve been in quarantine for 2 months now (I’m from Italy) and I decided to take these months to heal my inner child, my past wounds, certain traumas I still carry within. I really think that right now, what people should do in their homes is not trying to produce as much as possible, but take some time to reflect on themselves and heal their wounds. Love yourself, care for yourself, nurture yourself, discover yourself. If we can all heal we can be more positive human beings and do more good between one another and be good with mother earth too. I really hope that after this deep grief and chaos we could all break free from it with a more kind and open heart and soul 🙏🏼♥️

[@epicherbalism]

Same, I feel like the good I can do right now is within. And that will benefit the world more than if I was "being productive" in the capitalist sense. Lol I've already done and will do plenty of that, but while ignoring my inner self.

[@frauleinwusel3619]

So well spoken! Wishing you all the best from Germany, i love your Country and people 💕

[@katyamarie93]

During the lockdown, my belief in "everything happens for a reason" is so 100% real. I lost a job I really loved which has left me unemployed, but I also feel a sense of calmness and relief since and its opened my mind for deciding what i actually wanna do in the future, and also allowing me to dive in to the hobbie/interests I left in the past. I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel and i cant wait for things to return to normal, but I hope the future is healthier, more hygienic and happier than 2019 ever was and further in the past. Stay safe everyone ❤

[@frauleinwusel3619]

Such hopeful words! Stay strong! I hope you find a new job soon!

[@Ratslikecookies]

This is exactly where I am as well. I was layed off from my DREAM job after only 2 months :( it sucks but i'm also feeling a sense of calmness and even though I miss my job i'm doing everything I can to appreciate this unexpected break and spend time working toward my dreams. Good luck to you!!

[@queeneva3]

My therapist always says that emotions are just feelings in motion so you have to let them visit you and flow by

[@terezac5583]

when you said "bye bye New Years resolutions, you barely lasted"...I felt that

[@mirandaalexis]

we love the finding nemo dory references

[@KalynNicholson]

thank you I was waitin for someone to notice 😂

[@taylornapior2099]

I needed this. I have been having such a hard time with all this. Things are very stressful right now and I didn’t even have many friends before this and I’ve felt very alone. I have my boyfriend which is at least someone but I need friends and I feel so distant with myself and the world. I’m trying not to be hard on myself. I’ve always loved your videos. They are always so inspirational. Long time follower!

[@holley81]

“Don’t be hard on your body right now.” I needed to hear that

[@FuzzyStripetail]

Sure, the isolation is isolating, but Kalyn introducing me to the phrase "lost in the sauce" really marinated (or barbequed) with me in ways that could make this newly discovered catchy saying the apple of my eye.

[@Ggggc14]

You are glowing with air dried hair, comfy sweater, and glowing skin 👌 your videos have been so healing lately.

[@melissaramirez2000]

Watching inspiring KZbinrs like you, praying, reading uplifting books, and watching less news is what keeps me going. Thank you so much for this video Kalyn. It is exactly what I needed right now.

[@bluexblondebaby]

I’ve been feeling like I have just wasted the last few months of my life (before the pandemic I made a career switch). My family is coping by always keeping busy and sharing how much they’re accomplishing but my mental health only recently started getting back to a good place. This video made me feel not so alone and like I’m not just a failure. Thank you 🙏💗

[@frauleinwusel3619]

You're not a failure! We all struggle with adulting and it will get better! Don't be hard on yourself! 🌻

[@crystalberries574]

what I am struggling with during quarantine is how much I push myself to be doing things and to be productive all the time. I'm slowly teaching myself that if I don't do anything for an entire day,I don't need to guilt trip myself into doing somenthing;I need to respect my limits. Maybe I'll have motivation to be productive tomorrow,and if not, maybe the day after. As long as I don't push myself too hard, I will do what I want.

[@arianapatel1884]

I am really looking forward to diving into this video!🌼 It's like the universe tells you the things we exactly need to hear in a video.❤️ You've honestly changed my life in so many ways that I cannot even describe it, a huge part of me finding myself and becoming a better version of me is because of you Kalyn. Sending you and Bentley all my love in these tough times❤️

[@LS-gs8mx]

Completely agree with your “body talk”; your message is so refreshing. Our bodies are much more than how they ebb and flow in appearance 💚

[@Findinglifesbeauty]

Good grief I needed this video more than you know. I’ve been going back and forth with productive and lazy. One day I painted nearly every room in my house, the next I felt so tired and unmotivated. Quarantine is a roller coaster of emotions. It’s nice to feel not so alone. Thanks girl 🙌🏼♥️

[@allie10167]

When I watch your videos it’s almost like I can feel my negative thoughts and anxiety leave for even a couple minutes. I have always had an issue with keeping my thoughts from getting “too loud” but you’ve been able to help me for the last couple years. You really are a breathe of fresh air Kayln.

[@kvartenok]

I feel so, so tired of the situation and work and sitting in front of the laptop all the time... thank you for the reminder that even if it takes longer than we want, it is still temporary. Basically, notifications about your new videos already make me feel better, so soothing ☕

[@biseratashkova2175]

Watching this vid while wearing a koze sweater and gently brushing my dog is the mood I needed today. Honestly, I feel like I'm accepting this whole situation pretty peacefully. I had so many plans for 2020 that have gone out the window and yet I'm not despairing about it, I'm accepting things the way they are and going with the flow. Things that help me are cuddling Fluffy (my dog), facetiming my friends, yoga, reading fantasy books to escape reality and going for bike rides in the morning. I feel like we can all learn a lot from the current situation and realize what really matters to us in this lifetime. Let 2020 be the year of personal growth, all the resolutions can wait until a better time. Stay safe and thank you for blessing us with all these amazing vids ❤

[@BeccaGargiulo]

"Nature doesn't rush, yet everything gets done." WOW i have never thought about life that way before but I know I'll never forget those words

[@emmamcalary3915]

I had to pause the video and write it down in my journal as soon as you said that when we look back at this pandemic we aren't going to think about the goals we accomplished, but about the relationships we have strengthen with our loved ones and with ourselves. Exactly what I needed to hear, Thank you!

[@foreverlove2315]

This is by no means a derogatory comment because I absolutely love your videos, but I enjoy the content you create without the bitmojis or random clips here and there. You see a lot of that now, and I like that you’re raw and different! Thanks for being so vulnerable!

[@binala.2208]

"Goodbye New Year's resolutions, you barely existed" I laughed already after that senstece😂

[@Littlechoclatechip]

You always find the words to express what is going on inside of me. I was struggeling really hard the last few days, it is really nice to hear someone feeling the same weird fellings that I do and suddenly you are able to make them less weird, no matter how big the ocean is that is between us. It is funny and a little bit scary how often I forget that I don't know you in person. Stay strong and healthy!

[@jordanclark9648]

I am trying to accept the fact that though my senior year at university did not end the way I wanted it to and now I have to somehow get productive to find a job, that my time and effort I put in at university isn’t for nothing. My accomplishments are worth celebrating even if the celebration I had in mind got postponed until much later. I can still take the time to celebrate for myself and remember that what I did was amazing and challenging and I completed that!

[@mmowec8159]

Congrats for finishing. Be proud of that. It is a big deal and I am proud of you even though I do not know you.

[@CaylynAdamko]

What you said about just feeling your feelings for what they are is so valid. Like you said, these are unprecedented times, and we need to check in with ourselves and accept our truth of how we're feeling at any given moment.

[@MariJadeWrites]

Thank you, Kalyn. I am reconnecting with your old and new content and at the same time healing my inner child, fixing my work and life balance ;) thank you

[@frauleinwusel3619]

What i love most about you and why i keep watching you for years is how reflective/reflected you are! 💕 thank you for being here for us! Love from Germany

[@evatavarespt]

Just wanted to let you know that you are one of my biggest inspirations ever! Thank you so much for being you! ❤️

[@beckpreston9993]

So well said Kalyn❤️ During this quarantine I have definitely improved the relationship with myself which I couldn’t do before. Way more mental strength that before. And I genially believe that I’m creating a new foundation for my future. Couldn’t be more grateful. I assume that it’s hard now but the outbreak for me personally has become a huge wake-up call for me that I’ve even started a channel. That’s you so much for inspiration Kalyn, I really love the way you present your thoughts ❤️

[@dianeb2349]

Thank you so much. Such a good video. You’re 100 % right. I live day by day. I still have my job and I’m healthy and so is my family and all my friends and co workers. I exercise at home.. I read. And I try not to think too much. All of my plans and goals are on hold. Let’s get through this first. I did have some very important things I needed to take care of before all of this happened. But everything is on hold. I was also grieving over my relationship which I ended after 13 years at the end of October. It was so, so hard but I needed to do it. Even those feelings are on hold now. We’re just in survival mode. Everyone is! Much love to everyone. Thinking of all of you.

[@frauleinwusel3619]

Thank you for these words! Sending so much love back from Germany, we will get through it together! 🌻

[@leyladjeridi418]

I think thats the most kalyn vlog u ever posted ... The wise and inspiring kalyn with the heart to heart talk mixed with the goofy funny and crazy kalyn 💛💛💛 and im loving that

[@alyssarivera1913]

Holy crap I needed to hear this😭 You are amazing💗 This video literally made me love you and your content even more and I didn’t think that was even possible. Thank you for all the inspiration✨

[@surinaschutte9559]

Girl! I just love your content lately because it's so relatable. This is exactly the message that I needed. I'm going through a break up after being in a relationship with my boyfriend for 4 and a half years. So yeah throw self-isolation in the mix and you've got yourself a bad time but you're inspiration is making it so much better for me because I've been feeling sooo unmotivated and unproductive lately. Thanks you for your content!

[@zarana83]

Hey Kalyn, I have binge watching your videos during this quarantine and I love how you have changed, even your voice tone now, so soft, ugh, LOVE LOVE

[@samanthavolk4577]

The brightest part of my days as of late.. THANK YOU 🌻🐾

[@myrtopratsinaki3829]

everything I wanted to hear just from the first seconds of this video! You go girl!

[@heidizinn1889]

I've been feeling very thankful for being given the chance to read and get to know nyself again during this time.

[@vasudhaaher4161]

It is so lovely to see a KZbinr who makes 'motivational' content voice their struggle and validate that of others. Thank you for this! It really helped

[@deea362]

I am literally bingewatching your vlogs and I love everything about them❤️ your voice is so calming and your observations so much needed during this time🙏🏼

[@jessicakemp636]

Just burst out in tears today, randomly happened in the bathroom. Felt overwhelmed and it just crashed into me, trying not let it effect me but some days makes you feel bleh

[@harmonygillman8096]

Your videos really help me take a step back as of late. Your honest content is much appreciated my dear. It made me think about how bad the virus affected my goals to improve myself. It's not forever and that really is so important to remember. While this quarantine is happening I can stop focusing on the things I can't do and instead, focus on what I can. Thank you for your creative efforts, whatever they may be.

[@catherine7645]

I needed to hear this so much today. Thank you Kalyn for your positive energy xxx

[@laurendierks1776]

thank you for always being inspiring. This is definitely exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for being your honest and true self. love you girl

[@elyses1290]

Such a beautiful vlog episode! I've been in quarantine for the last 7 weeks and have been feeling all the feels from this period. Giving myself grace that some days are just...days. To just get through it is an accomplishment in itself, and that's OKAY. I love the part where you talked about learning the importance of relationships. I've been learning SO much about myself, it is scary. I know that that my thoughts aren't necessarily who I am and it will pass. One of my favorite gems that I've recently discovered was through a podcast. This podcast episode talked about the difference between empathy and compassion. Being an empath, I was really struggling with feeling the weight of the hurt that has been stowed upon us here on this earth, and what can I do about it. Being isolated and in quarantine, these feelings aren't the healthiest. This podcast (I can't remember which one, they kind of all blend together right now...) guest talked about how empathy is the act of taking on someone else's hurt versus compassion; which is understanding that person is going through their sh*t without taking it on. This thought process has SAVED me through this isolation. I really appreciate how real you are during this episode, so thank you Kalyn, for showing up and giving light. You are a true artist and just am so thankful I've found you through your podcast 'Coffee Talk' a couple of years ago. Keep going sister and we'll definitely #getthroughthistogether

[@charlottehveem5212]

I needed this video so much you have no idea💓 love your energy and aura it really comforts me, thank you💓

[@ChelleyandNay]

This video was so good and so needed, thank you 💕✨ Also it really makes no sense to compare anything amongst eachother since we’re all handling the current situation differently. Everyone needs to just do what feels right for them, moment by moment.

[@latnyx]

I just wanted to say that your videos are always so inspiring to me

[@emjackss3]

I don’t comment often but I’ve been watching since the beginning and I want to thank you for your positivity and encouragement! I love your content. You are an amazing soul.

[@HappierbySeppy]

I really enjoyed and appreciate how honest you are being about the "swinging" emotions (I've been the same!). I think it's always inspiring and reassuring to hear how someone else is going through an experience and making us realize that we might not be so alone in how we're feeling. Thank you for this video Kalyn!

[@AmandaShawxo]

Journalling has been soooo helpful lately given the state Canada (and the world) is in. Its super easy to fall into a pattern of negativity in times like this but journalling allows you to acknowledge those feelings and then leave them on the page. To move forward, no longer carrying those worries around :)

[@candidlyyadi]

Much needed, Thank you for the wonderful nuggets of wisdom that you bring to the internet. I find that I have been journaling a lot more. It just helps put so much things into perspective, especially when I am having a though day like I had yesterday, but journaling and watching your video has helped made me feel okay if I'm not always being 100% productive

[@makaylacaroline]

This is exactly what I needed to hear. I've been in such an awful mood and feeling so down on everything because I feel the constant need to be productive. Thank you so much Kalyn! I love the editing In this vlog too ❤️

[@raghadsami]

I find ur channel very inspiring I love watching ur vids cause I know that I’ll see something different no other youtuber does 💜✨

[@dancewithmenow4161]

Thank you for sharing this video Kalyn! I totally can relate to the two viewpoints you feel that you flip flop between! I can’t wait until our world gets better and isolation is over. I know it will be a gradual thing, but it will be such a relief. But yet, I feel that the majority of people have learned a lot about values during this time, and to prioritize health.

[@Amedo98621]

I think this is so good and spot on! Being in quarantine has taught me more than I could learn in decades of normal life and I am incredibly thankful. It's hard to get so real with ourselves for what we actually need and to journal and then even get honest with others, but thankful for your warm and truthful influence :)

[@camera0bsessedx]

this video was much needed! thank you for this. I've just recently started adding reading and journaling to my every day routine and it has made me feel better with everything going on! loved this video Kalyn ♥

[@ashleyguerin7811]

your videos are keeping me sane. love ya girl.

[@Emiliapocalypse]

I don’t even bother with resolutions. Lol Nice to see you and hear from you. Thanks for sharing your chill vibes. Take care! ✌️💪🌻

[@megcoysh-williams8565]

This was so needed today. Your videos have been so inspiring and helpful for a long time, but now especially. Thank you so much! And thank you for quality Bentley content!

[@mianabd7461]

Love you girl!! 😍😍

[@marbear221]

wow I LOVED what your therapist said!! I feel that for myself as well, I’m someone who always prides myself on being “busy” and “productive”, I would feel inadequate if I did not project this “busy” image and if I was not working towards some goal, and I never really noticed this about myself before this pandemic. I’ve been able to slow down and find my worth inwards rather than in what I can produce, and I’ve found my relationships becoming stronger rather than weaker in this time as well. Thank you always for your vulnerability ❤️

[@truecollar9059]

I just adore you and your videos! this was something we all needed, thank you 💖

[@annabortolussi6030]

what you said about being feeling anxious or being stressed that our mind is moving faster than our body really spoke to me. i’m going through final exams and assessments and have been very productive and concentrated but i neglected looking over myself. will try and do it in the next few weeks :) thank you for the lovely message 🖤

[@wajihaahamed4259]

i really needed this, thank u

[@toyinviola]

you know that smile you get on your face when you see Kalyn posts a video 💛💛 love you girl!!

[@salma-fe8gr]

This video is really helpful ❤ it's good to see someone show you that it's ok to feel this way ❤ thank you

[@uhkrystal1520]

The Finding Nemo clips killed me. Love how you mention the New Years' resolution thing. I was so ready to put away money in my savings and travel to new places and all of that got thrown out the window. It's a bummer but, like you said, those goals were not the apparent lesson we were all meant to learn from 2020

[@cloudsinmylungs2649]

I just want to say thank you. Your words helped me accept the waterfall of emotions that are dragged by these days ❤

[@Sukilamae]

Your last 2 videos have told me exactly what I needed to hear, so thank you

[@Candlekeepdeep]

I feel like I've cried non stop for the past week, but I also submitted a PhD proposal on the 1st, so I have everything crossed I'll be able to do that in October. Thank you for this, right as I was coming off another cry lol xxx

[@MathildeG]

Congratulations 🥳 that’s such a great accomplishment. I’m doing my master’s degree and I’m struggling.

[@thewild5719]

Congratulations!! That's a huge accomplishment. I've been ABD since November and trying to write or work on any kind of a dissertation through this has been....impossible? Yeah.

[@Candlekeepdeep]

@@MathildeG Thank you! You'll be okay. Good luck

[@Candlekeepdeep]

@@thewild5719 Thank you!

[@danceandmore88]

Former PhD student here;). I didn't complete mine for personal reasons. Best of luck, and when it gets tough, remember why you started. It is a marathon, and on some days you might ask yourself what you're doing, and why. Surround yourself with uplifting people who understand your ambition, stay away from naysayers, stay connected to your hobbies and interests. Now, enough with the unsolicited advice, take care, stay safe!

[@sivaanis6299]

You're the best Kalyn! Thank you for everything you do

[@hannahdillinger9228]

ok but this is definitely the content i needed today. i love “emotions are just messengers” because my emotions have been all over the place and i haven’t been paying attention to what they’re trying to tell me

[@mmowec8159]

Thank you SO much for posting about this. I was beating myself up a lot...about most of the things you mentioned, then two people recently said to me we are all going through a lot mentally so we shouldn't have all these crazy high expectations right now. Do what you can, when you can...if you wanna be productive go for it and if you don't wanna be then it is OK. Do as you please and do what you can handle. This video gives me additional confirmation. I so needed to hear all this and the fact that you're the 3rd person to say this makes me take it very seriously. Your videos are so very much comforting to me...in various ways. I want you to know that. They help me a lot and I am much older than you and probably most of your subscribers LOL. Thank you and wishing you peace.

[@chiarascaglioni7794]

Thank you for this talk❤️ hearing these things really made me reflect about everything in life right now✨

[@jazminhaque7356]

Really needed a lot of these reminders, thanks for always being such an inspiration Kalyn ♥️ I feel grateful to have stumbled on your channel when I was in high school (I’m now in medical school so that’s crazy thinking about it, I didn’t realize I’ve been following you so long). Not sure if you’ll see this but thank you for being you and for inspiring me to start my own yoga journey around the time you started your own. It’s been so fun to see you progress and I’m so excited for your finished YTT, can’t wait for your Koze flows! Thanks again for the passion and love you bring to your content

[@mathilde7412]

Thank you for being here Kalyn, it means a lot. Love you

[@MeenalChaturvedi]

Thanks for an honest video. I'm feeling the pressure to be productive but my body is saying relax, even though I've been doing nothing...

[@katiefogel2949]

Your videos have really been helping me through isolation ❤️ thank you so much!!

[@TheTogaParty22]

i loved this video so much. i am trying to gracefully accept that i have nothing to prove when it comes to my job and my productivity. since i work from home, i've always scheduled insane work days and never said no to opportunities because i'm constantly trying to prove that i am doing as much work as everyone with a 9 to 5 job is. quarantine has made me realize that reducing my workload now allows me to be more present and actually here for myself, which is a great feeling! so trying to figure out how to balance everything for the future. thank you so much for your kind reminders kalyn

[@stephanieangelidis6930]

You were bang on today with everything you said!! I really needed to hear it!! Thank you so much and hope that everyone is doing okay in you family xx Any students out there, don't be so hard on your self with forcing your studies, it'll happen as they're meant too 💜✌🏻

[@laurafriedrich3815]

Honestly its my first comment ever, and I hope I won't be judged because of it. But I started watching your videos during this crisis and your content really touched me during the right moments and this reminded me where my real focus is at. And I am really grateful for this. I browsed through some older videos of yours and I think you developed in such a great way, reconsidering what really matters for you. I feel strongly connected to you through your love to nature. Basically I want to say thank you. I am always so grateful for the new videos, no matter the emotions, meaning etc. behind it, because all of them are a part of us. Thank you for sharing your inner thoughts and feelings in such a public way.

[@harleeyork7698]

I love this so much. There has been such a mix in my KZbin feed on productivity and relaxation and I really enjoyed you talking about your thoughts 💕💕 I don’t have any other social media but I have been curating my KZbin feed lately 😌

[@Shaynabanes]

This video really helped me release some emotions I’ve been holding inside. This pandemic has been hard on everyone in different ways. Thanks Kalyn 💕

[@emilym7517]

🥺🥺🥺 ok this legit made me cry. I’ve been so angry and disappointed in myself for all of these things. Ashamed about my anxiety and depression, angry with my lack of motivation and increased symptoms from my chronic illness that have made it that much harder to even just exist right now. I have a feeling I’ll be watching this video on the daily for awhile because you said EVERYTHING I needed to hear. My biggest thing to work on is how much pressure I’m putting on myself to learn right now. I can’t retain any information no matter how much I study... and I *know* it’s because this is a trauma and our brains are overwhelmed. I need to try and accept that and make space for some compassion towards myself because it’s OKAY and EXPECTED if any of us are feeling like we’re at our mental capacity.

[@frauleinwusel3619]

I wish you a lovely day! Don't be so hard on yourself! We all struggle, but it will pass! 🌻

[@carolineharden5359]

I loved this so much Kalyn, you words always resonate with me and I just really appreciate you and your content

[@roxyISrandom]

It's almost as if we are collectively grieving and regrowing- I have to remind myself the world is waiting for me, I'm not losing what I am able to hold onto. Thanks for the peaceful videos, as always ✨

[@CatherineRuddick]

Great video! I’ve been sitting in stillness more often and putting my phone to the side. It’s helped so much with finding clarity in my life, and letting myself think the thoughts I need to think instead of just distracting myself with my phone.

Ahh, It's been a while since I've watched a video of yours (took a bit of a break from KZbin for a while) but I'm so glad to see that you are still the raw authentic Kalyn we all loved. I look forward to seeing more videos from you during these uncertain times 😊.

I know isolation sucks. What helps me is read about the Spanish flu pandemic and try to learn from it and how to handle today situation. People who is not sick we can find ways to keep us healthy and others. Scientists knows things. I’m trying to find a way to not feel anxiety. We got this!
