It's unfortunately too expensive for me Connie! I'm saving up money for retirement. Thank you anyway for the invitation, I appreciate it! Namaste, Jenny 💜

[@margarettownsley9500]

My choices today shape my tomorrows this really speaks to me as I am in the process of making decisions I’m taking a step back from stress and anxiety and worry from my adult son and his wife I’ve had enough of disrespect and verbal abuse I’ve put up with this for 15 years because I didn’t want to loose my 2 granson’s I’ve honestly helped every way possible including financially but I must find peace I’m heading for my 60th birthday at the end of April I must respect myself by stepping away from toxicity it’s sad and I’d never have wanted it to happen but I feel I can’t waste anymore time as theirs more years behind me than what’s in front of me I must find peace in my soul thank you Connie for your wonderful peaceful video

[@user-hw9vf4pl9s]

I am right there with you, just thinking about this heavily the past few days. My adult 30 something daughter has been awful to me for years and I am ready to step way back...the hurt is too much as I remember the beautiful loving kind funny sweet child and girl I raised, she now is dismissive or hostile, has been physically, mentally and emotionally abusive for many years and as a mother I didn't want to give up hope but I now am at the point I do not think there is any way to recover so moving states and starting fresh may be a good idea for me. I wish you well in your journey to healing too.

[@marabolin3038]

I’m so sorry and know the feeling as well. I’ve been estranged from my oldest son (and 4 grandchildren) for 5 years now. He made the decision because I stood up and said I’m not just your babysitter. They had completely begun to disrespect me as a person and take advantage of my love for my grandchildren. It hurt like hell when it began to separate. It hurt for 2 years afterwards (as I beat myself up something terrible) and eventually I began to be myself again and I have a very nice life. I live in another state, have made friends, attend a lovely church and my other grown children come to visit me or I go visit them for holidays. yes, I miss seeing my grandchildren growing up, but I know they have a good life as their parents have them involved in everything. I have a blessed life at 66 and I’m not being treated badly by anyone 😊.

[@ninawicks9]

These stories are amazing. I too am reaching 60 soon.i work full time in a demanding healthcare. I don't sleep well,have nightmares, tired and drained emotionally and physically. I am rhe breadwinner there will need to work well past .my retirement. My husband never worked regularly and my child graduated, have massive debt and still no job. I feel I am trapped. 😢

I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year.. Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life

[@nissan38p69]

You're right, with my current crpyto portfolio made from my investments with my personal financial advisor Stacey Macken , I totally agree with you

[@josehenry7205]

YES! that's exactly her name (Stacey Macken) I watched her interview on CNN News and so many people recommended highly about her and her trading skills, she's an expert and I'm just starting with her....From Brisbane Australia

[@waynes4369]

Truly, investing has changed my perspective on how one can succeed in life; working multiple jobs isn't the optimal way to attain financial freedom and unfortunately, we discover this later in life. Currently earn as much as 12 grand weekly and this has improved my financial life

Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing her been mentioned here also Didn't know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, I'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super

[@divinecomedy0]

Thank you so very much for your timely advice on living a simpler life. At present I’m overwhelmed with stuff that I don’t use or need. I have come to the realization that truly ‘less is more’. ☮️🕉️

[@extrememinimalism]

One rule or reminder I live by: Itll be effort to get rid of later. Reminding myself that decluttering it is often harder than buying it, keeps me from buying a lot of stuff.

[@lanibriosos-mcdonough2143]

Totally agree!

[@user-on5bq1xz9e]

Love your thoughts on minimalism and simplifying, powerful concepts. Also, you were great in SW back in the day, CG was my favorite character! Inspiring life you've lived.

[@janjentz1053]

What a wonderful video. The first part; especially was me several years ago with some slight differences. It was very hard for me to make friends in So. CA in an expensive area. Hard to fit in when you don't wear designer clothes and spend upwards of 50 dollars on lunches. I made an aquaintance who actually asked me why I am so cheap, because I didn't go to the movie theatre every week. I resisted over spending, but was lonely until we moved to a small town in Utah a few years ago. We live a simple life and have made a lot of friends that live a similar lifestyle. Thank you for always making such wonderful videos that make you think.

[@Arlene4HO]

I couldn’t live like Connie, but I do find it interesting.

[@conservativetaxpayer]

[@ConnieRiet]

Thank you so much!

[@Lo-FiChillVibes]

｡✧*.｡A life lesson｡✧*.｡: I've stopped listening to music that have toxic context; which have improved my life fr. Ppl don't really think about how much things we see and watch actually impact our thoughts and mood. Majority of the lyrics are negative and toxic (same goes with many TV-series/shows and movies). I hope this helps someone who’s stuck with toxic content. Toxic contents are good in the way that it can open our eyes and ears about what actually is toxic/bad/wrong - so we therefore can distance ourselves from toxicity. So observe, learn and act. Toxic things/people are just distractions... toxicity prevents us from being productive and growing as persons, so we need to replace these toxic patterns with healthy patterns: We need to respond and act the opposite of toxic (we need to respond and act with KINDNESS). Our purpose in life is to live and learn from our mistakes and therefore make this world better and SAFER. Instead of thinking "Why is this happening to me?" -> think "What can I learn from this?" Peace and love.

[@MagicalMindsByAmra]

Everything you just said🥰🫶

[@jenniferingham5107]

Thank you Connie. Your videos are always so calming and inspirational. I have recently retired and am trying to declutter and live a much more frugal and minimalistic life

[@airstreamer]

Functionality and love. I connect with that one. I do not have very many clothes anymore either, but I love all the pieces I have. Creating lasting memories with my husband has been an amazing part of the changes we made. - Michelle

[@JackieDElia]

Helpful video, Connie. I went through a very similar experience in 2008 recession. Your message reminds me to check in with myself on how old patterns can return. This has been on my mind very much these days.

[@anniecochrane3359]

As always your words and experiences touch my heart and give me new guidance on a life well lived. Thank you. The quote 'Comparison is the thief of joy' is marvelous.

[@angelasinyard3743]

Great advice! I have decluttered so much and multi-function is the only way I make a purposeful decision

Well said! Very well said! So true! ❤🙂🫂 Thank you for this simple and beautiful video!

[@Platttraining]

Thank you for making this video. I am motivated to pursue down sizing. Minimalizing my foot print. I am a retired teacher and now artist. My most valuable and essential possession since high school has been my easel and not all the "things" that have come and gone in my life. Looking back on my 66 years experiences and my paintings have only mattered. Thank you and please keep inspiring.

[@weninger1959]

Than k you so much for your videos. I appreciate each and every one.

[@user-yk9sw8vm1o]

Beautiful video as always, Connie, I so look forward to watching them. No 2 lives are the same, but your wise words just make me stop and think. I still have a way to go with declutttering, but something in and something out really works. It is such a treat seeing the new places you are visiting ❤.

[@nicolavowles2930]

I wonder if this is of interest. I am 73 years old and live in UK. My mother had a diamond ring. I never knew its history as she died when I was young. I kept the ring in the loft as it was valuable! Two years ago I had it made into a gorgeous modern ring in "my" style. I had it made as a tight fit to never come off, however wet it might get and playing with the dogs. It is NOW my most treasured possession and I have been able to let go of lots of other jewellery because this piece is IT!!

[@ilufette]

Thank you Connie for this new video. Each one makes really sense for me and it’s so nice to listen to it at the biginning of the day before starting a new day and going to work. Hélène Paris, France 🇫🇷

I can relate to every word u said ! I'm a simple person who can be happy with the simplest and the smallest things but sadly i was a victim to soscial pressure and to people pleasing and i want so bad to fit in ( Especially in my workplace !)..i found out that When I was trying to get closer to people, I actually became more distant from my authentic self ! Thanks for your videos 🙏🏻 u r amazing

[@andrzejberlinski8397]

Thank you for your video. From Pokand.❤

[@jennyfulcher8035]

It's tough resisting buying new stuff. I did this especially during the pandemic, as it brought me comfort (temporarily) until the newness wore off, so then I'd buy another new touchstone or clothing. I only have so much space in my 400 sq ft studio apartment, so I'm more selective these days. I Spring clean occasionally but am overdue. Thanks for your tips. Jenny

Love the way you put it into words here. To protect and train your subconscious mind from kicking in and overwhelming you. Thats what its all about, isnt it🪻

[@MeeMee-qt7ww]

@@MagicalMindsByAmra Yes so true as an uncontrolled Subconscious mind thrives on Anxiety which makes people very I'll. I taught myself to feed only good thoughts into the brain so that your subconscious brain automatically kicks out unwanted anxiety.

[@ruthwitts2043]

M I totally understand. I have to do the same thing with my kids. My sister with no children sort of took over my son and along with my ex husband has put him against me. He wont tell me what the issue is. The day she died he swore at me and put the phone down on me and that’s it. My daughter has mental health issues and ha taken herself out of the family. After spending years heartbroken and trying to renew these relationships, I now have to stop this emotional roller coaster of yes/no, hope/no hope and move on. Very hard.
