Mentally Dealing With Returning to Full-Time Work in the Office: Here’s What Helps Me!

[@dalegreene6241]

"To fight against what is, is the definition of insanity" This has given me a lot to think about. Even though I don't like what is, I have to accept it. Thank you for your always wise words. Your perspective and insight on things is always very helpful to me and I appreciate you very much!

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

Dale, you are so kind. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@clarasmith1873]

I like the parking garage visual. You can really pull that into a lot of life phases.

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

Right?!? 💖💖💖

[@shellyjay8954]

I like your long videos. You seem like a friend, someone with whom I would enjoy coffee and conversation.

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

Thanks so much! You’re probably right! 😊

[@donnanicol8841]

I found you yesterday I've been watching your videos now for 2 days and I made it to the end of everyone I m so enjoying your videos everything you've said so far has been what I've needed to hear thank you 🤠🐴🐎🏇

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

You’re amazing! Thank YOU!!! 💖💖💖 🥇🥇🥇

[@natasha8658]

YES remote work allows for a better quality of life for those of us who enjoy it! Here to the end

[@lisacarter7426]

I really enjoy your longer videos. So thanks for sharing

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

Glad you like them! 💖

[@evaennis8303]

the first time that i heard you say "urgency is a trauma response", it resonated so much in my mind and spirit. i haven't stopped thinking about it since. thank you for that. i also appreciate that i am not upset for the reason that i think; i have heard similar ideas before, but it is a good reminder. -eve

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

Hi Eve! Thanks for sharing!!

[@michellec8273]

I always make it to the end of your vlogs. Very happy to see you back on here again. Thanks for your bright smile and vulnerable wisdom. Yes, everything works together for good. Even when we can't see it.

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

Thank you so much! 💖💖💖

[@leighlake]

I miss your long form content! I too go off on tangents and rabbit holes so I can totally follow your train of thought! 😂 You are a wise woman and I love your videos!

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

Yay! Thank you! 💖🥇🥇🥇

[@l-ap3913]

Ok! I’m waiting for my medal 😊. Just found your channel today and so glad that I did. Wise, wonderful and wandering- can’t get better than that.

Thanks for the morning talk. 😁✌🏼💗

[@carolinenelson7890]

I love the car park analogy. Always interesting to hear your thoughts

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@DebZaragoza]

Made it to the end...but then, I make it to the end of all of your videos, they are such an encouragement, and bring a smile to my face! Even the shorts! 😃

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

You're the best! Thanks, Deb!

[@Michelle-bw1xg]

I needed this video...to the end! I have some catching up to do on your videos (don't care for shorts). Love your content...van life and your personal growth and wisdom. LIfe has never been worse and multiple major wrongs have occurred, which have affected my health & financial future in a huge way. I need to reframe my perspective but get completely overwhelmed past my limit by impossible demands daily (trauma). It sucks but there is a lesson there for me to learn. Thank you for sharing this.

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

Michelle, thank you so much for sharing. I’m glad you’re here! We got this, one baby step at a time!

[@clarasmith1873]

Thank you for providing the wisdom I need to hear.

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

Hi Clara! 💖💖💖

[@cheriellis9215]

Wow, what a thought provoking talk. I think I need to dwell on it and probably watch it again clear to the end!

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

So glad you liked it, Cheri! 😊

Thanks! 🥇🥇🥇

[@gigiartstudiowithartistvir3919]

Same Dani. I've been out of work for 3 years and have run out of savings. I must start working again and it's mental fuckery.

[@onibioh]

Mass masking is over according to CDC and WHO. You can continue to mask which is your choice. However, you cannot force others to mask. Listen to the science, mask does very little to protect you.

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

GiGi, yes it is! Dealing with it mentally is no joke! 💖

[@lauraking1331]

Thanks so much! Lots of resonance here...

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

Thanks for listening! 💖

[@marydawkins4190]

Another one I've tried to work with for a long time is to observe and don't react. Observe and don't react. The older I get the more I realize reactions are so rarely needed.

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

I completely agree! You’re so wise! 😊

[@Coconutoilcrazy]

This is a very powerful message. Mental processing is huge on how the next moment plays out. Many thanks to you! You are a great life coach😇

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

Thanks for being here! Glad you liked it! 😊

[@navychhaingvoeun528]

Hi Dani so glad to see again

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

😊😊😊

[@allennelson6889]

Just found your channel. Love the lifestyle. Congratulations on chasing a dream.

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

Welcome! Thanks so much!

[@curbsidenation]

Thank you, thank you! Hearing you say that you are a verbal processor helps me understand why I need to talk through things so much at times. It really does help resolve stuff I have rattling around in my brain if I can hear it said out loud. Not the same for everyone apparently but for people like us it really really helps. I could listen to you and your words of wisdom for hours! You are an inspiration!

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

You are very kind. I’m so glad you find it helpful! 💖💖💖

Yes, Dani... easily made it to the end. Keep thinking out loud... so many of us have those thoughts, or something similar and it helps to hear someone else think it through also. 🌸🌸🌸

At the 9 1/2 minute mark and going strong! And made it to the end. Thank you for both things today especially the quote about urgency is trauma response!

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re here! 🥇🥇🥇

[@clarasmith1873]

My brain can be in chaos. That sounds like what you are describing. I am trying to be in the present. Does that make sense?

[@curbsidenation]

Yessssss

[@dixielambrecht7009]

You can't change what you don't acknowledge has been my biggest obstacle because I think it's something else. Thanks for the reminder

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

Thanks, Dixie! 💖

[@leanne7306]

Made it to the end too. It was very interesting. Sometimes I find myself mad about one and then I realize I am really upset or stressed about something else. I can relate with about everything you said. Have a great evening. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us. 😊

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

Thanks, Leanne! 😊😊😊

I made it through to the end. You have a great way of explaining your life experiences. I hope to gain more insight into how I respond towards certain situations in my life. Thanks Dani. 😊

[@janinafisher101]

The world according to Dani... you are sharing some important philosophy here, and you DON'T have to be trained as a life coach (I am! lol!) to have accumulated pearls of wisdom that can make a difference for others. In fact I needed to hear this tonight after an incident that occurred today that upset me! (Btw, Eckhart Tolle's last name is pronounced sort of like TULL-uh... it's a bit closer to TOLL, but with a shorter O, and the "E" at the end is shorter than "EE"... yes, Americans do have challenges pronouncing words and names in other languages!) Look forward to watching some of your other videos... I see there's one on how you cook, which is one of my questions - along with how you go to the bathroom!

[@YouAndMeLivingFree]

You’re very kind and I appreciate your comments so much! I’m glad you’re here!

I'm retired....sorta.....but choose to work some. I find the employers frantic and unconcerned about employee well-being. After 27 years in the same job, I'm horrified at what's happening.
