The Mindset and Lessons that Changed My Life

I know I might sound repetitive but your channel was really life changing. The struggle is still real (ED is a b1tch, society standards suck and family trauma isn’t a joke either) and not every day is a good day but your videos, your programs and you positive energy really keeps me going. Hope one day I’ll get to hug you and thank you in person for all you do ❤

[@natachaoceane]

ahh Chiara thank you so much for being so supportive and for sharing your story with me, I'm so sorry for everything you're going through - I want to give you a hug in real life so badly too. Where are you based?! I think I have a few meet ups lined up for the coming year!! xxx

[@beatrizr9673]

I think the real difference between Natacha and basically any other influencer that I know of is how open she is with her viewers about the ugly/difficult/taboo side of life, and it comes from a place of honesty that cannot be faked. It rings true, so it rings human and therefore it rings to us. Thanks, Nat. You're a trooper for sharing what you share in a position of influence & I have deep respect for you and your job.

[@Tanyapaperbacks]

1. No one has it completely figured out 2. Failure is the root to success 3. Take charge of your life or the world will do it for you (Learn to say no) 4. Challenge your beliefs often (Don’t limit yourself) 5. You don’t need to fit In (Peace is happiness at rest; be ruthlessly honest with what makes you happy)

[@denarendall]

Since the day I turned 18, I have felt completely and utterly hopeless and lost. I’m now 20 and can’t shake the feeling. This was definitely comforting to hear. Always providing such high quality content - thank you Natacha!❤️

[@natachaoceane]

Hey Dena, I think that feeling of being lost is something I relate to so much too though I think at 20 I wasn't aware that I was lost - I was just being that little leaf in the wind going in every direction but completely unaware of it. Recently if i've felt lost, I try to explore different avenues to help figure out if there's a path I want to continue down on and I find that can really help, not putting too much pressure on that avenue but just keeping an open mind and starting to explore at least felt like a forward step for me. Sending you so much love always (: xxx

[@denarendall]

@@natachaoceane the fact that you have taken the time to respond to me speaks volumes about how much you genuinely care to connect with your audience. Thank you for being so engaged with us! I’m working on finding my place in the world - journaling and just spending time alone are my favourite means of self discovery. But it’s comforting to know someone like you, who is the epitome of success in my eyes, still struggles. Lots of love!❤️

[@khaileena7581]

I'm 30 and still lost. 20 is super young! You'll be okay, you'll figure it out. And if you don't, well, it's not the end of the world. Enjoy being in the grey and all the little wins that come every day. I know you can do it ^^

Last year I was diagnosed with clinical depression and started on medication and therapy. Now my Dr is lowering my dose and one step at a time I'm feeling less like a mess. Still messy some days or weeks, and nothing makes sense, but more people feel like this than we realise! It's important to realise.

[@EnglaHaas]

Trust the process 💟

[@natachaoceane]

hey Stephanie! ❤‍🔥I think you're so right. I think there are more people feeling that way and struggling with things than we realise. I went through a really difficult period over the last couple of years, and in those times I wasn't in a place to talk about it publicly because trying made me feel worse. I guess that's a perfect example of it! I'm proud of you. I know the journey will feel tough and if it's like working through an eating disorder I can imagine that at times it might feel like you're going backwards, but I have so much faith in you 🤍

[@shy3846]

How do you feel i have clinical depression too on medication for 1 month

[@StephanieKoathes]

Hey@@shy3846 my first month of medication, I'm on an SSRI, I was mainly sleepy and restless but that passed once my dose was adjusted. Slowly, slowly I started reincorporating things I used to enjoy like yoga, but it still felt like a fight, until one day, it didn't. I'm feeling a little more energetic and less mired in dark thoughts. My therapist really helped me see my thoughts differently. It's a process! And some days won't be good, but that doesn't mean you're failing. Sending hugs and positive vibes. I hope you are starting to feel better ❤️❤️❤️

Historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now I’m trying to give a small, consistent mediocre effort everyday. It sounds stupidly simple but its crazy how it adds up. Mediocre consistency is the mindset that’s changed my life, that’s gave me a goal even though I was so depressed and I wish I’d known about as a kid. I had to overhaul how I approached taking care of my brain (exercise, journaling, studying etc) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 40-60% effort into my journaling habit, workouts and how I study - to make sure I do it I began recording and posting it on my yt channel. After a really bad depression phase these small consistent efforts, is how i got out of it.

[@mariakazanis2364]

I am not someone who comments on KZbin, but I am compelled to let you know that you authenticity cannot matched. You are a gem. the time and effort you put into creating content for us is unreal.

[@natachaoceane]

I'm right there with you Bea (congrats on graduating btw!!). Tbh I think that's why I hopped straight into academia once I graduated as it felt like it bought me some time, only to realise it wasn't the right thing for me a year in. I honestly think looking back, spending a few years hopping around doing whatever it might be (doesn't even have to be something you'll end up doing for the long-term) and testing out the waters isn't a bad thing, failing stuff and getting things wrong is exactly how we end up knowing what paths we want to go down (: I'm always here for you (: all my love xxxx

"Im not going to always be actively happy. " So simple, but so eye opening! I think there's so much pressure to be "happy" every minute.

[@northwoodfalls1403]

Gaaaa this made me all teary eyed with affection and appreciation for you ❤ Truly, you are one of a kind, incredibly special and such a joy. You have created such a lovely community here and I’m really grateful to be one of the 1.5 million that knows how wonderful you are ☺️ One of the things that stood out for me in this video was that when you talked about all the things you did that built your confidence, they were all things you did for yourself. I know Mario is a very important part of your life and that he has had an influence and an impact on you, but you didnt mention him and it struck me as evidence of how seriously you take this aspect of your life. You said the most important part at the end: you are the person who has been and will be with you forever through everything. I dunno …. I’m likely not communicating it well, but it really struck me how important a message this is for your audience, knowing how many of them are (well, I don’t know, I’m assuming lol) young women. You’re working hard at being at peace with who and how you are and while our relationships are important and the things we do are important, they can’t define our worth or sense of self. They can certainly be a vehicle for growth, though. My favourite thing about being in my 40’s is just how much all of the things you covered have really settled in for me now. I can relate to so much of what you shared, having had a lot of the same struggles and challenges and had to work diligently at those things, too. Still do. But it all kinda sets into the fibre of who you are somehow and it takes less and less effort. Truly the gift of getting older, if youre doing it well, is that you care less and less about what anyone else thinks and counterintuitively, as you care less about that, the more you’re able to care FOR others and give to others without feeling depleted or conflicted. It’s pretty great. Also, it has to be said, your hair looks fabulous! It kinda distracted me the whole time. I was like, “she’s glowing”. You’re just awesome 😎 ❤

[@nancypratt9513]

This world needs more genuinely loving/caring people in it like you. It would be so nice if that were the case.

"I'd rather have 1.5 million friends than 5 million subscribers". That got me. Natacha, you are honestly one of my idols. I've loved watching all your videos for the past few years. You've changed my mindset of health from the "fitness industry standard" to listening to your body and doing what YOU feel is good. I hope you all the best in everything you do

"I delete the videos" Me frantically looking for a video from last week 💀💀💀💀💀💀

[@natachaoceane]

hahah if it's a programme video, I take them off my channel and keep them up on my website. You can find them up on my website whenever you need! 🤍

I love this video, Natacha. I recently quit my job of 6+ years to start a new chapter and create a better environment for myself. Each of these lessons you shared is exactly the mindset I need to have for this time in my life. Failure is okay, I am in charge, and I don't need to change myself. Thank you for sharing all of this, you're really such a bright light in the fitness space and on KZbin in general.

I resonate so much with the first one--I used to think and still think that people around me all have their shit figured out, but you're absolutely right, the truth is just that they don't let the uncertainty pull them back so they appear to be "figured out". Thank you Natacha for sharing those personal journeys, I'm a bit older than you but I'm still learning so much from you.

Everything you said resonates so so much with me. Fear of failure, being a perfectionist, people pleasing, not fitting in, all of it is me. I did find out recently that I've gone most of my life with undiagnosed ADHD. I am medicated now and that ice cube is starting to melt. I wish I could be happier. Less fearful. More kind and appreciative. Less critical. I wish I could un-become this because I KNOW how much of a self fulfilling mindset it is. I have a therapist and we're working on it but it's so painstakingly slow. Knowing that someone else has overcome these same struggles to some degree is really comforting. Thank you for everything you do, Natacha 💙

Welcome back from your vacation! All of this is a reminder that it's never too late to not only chase a dream but to 'love life' even if it means not climbing a ladder. With quiet quitting, new work trends, and gen z attitudes, its never too late to live life how you want to, rather than how you think you have to

[@varp.]

Honestly, you saying you feel like an outisider/not fitting in made me feel very comforted. I feel you're the coolest ever, yet you feel this way as well. Comforting.

[@Ssummer0000]

This really hit hard as I have always felt like an outsider and constantly feel like people misunderstand me. I've made peace with this, but sometimes I can't help but want to be more like the people around me. Thank you for being so open and vulnerable.❤

[@AyeMarieee]

Thank you for doing what you do! Your videos always make me feel so grounded, especially when I am doubting myself. I really appreciate your videos and the energy you bring into the world!

[@heatherpalfreyman7173]

the way you say that you’d rather have the friends than the subscribers is such a sweet sentiment because i remember you replied to the one comment ive made on your channel and i remember it every time i watch your videos!

[@maggiealelew]

Awwww we’re all part of 1.5 million friends!! Group hug everyone!

Natacha saved the way I view food and how to exercise properly. She is hands down the best role model for young girls ❤️

[@nonDipt]

I want to tank you, Natacha, for your videos. What you describe at the beginning of this video is how I feel from a long time. After I started following you, your videos helped me find peace with the fact that I need to let my body and mind rest and not just push through physical injuries and emotional drains. Currently I cannot work out I will get back to it once I put some things in my life in order but it is ok. I feel it is ok, I don't feel guilty for not being able to eat all the time the way I actually normally do, I don't feel guilt that I cannot workout and I do not feel guilt because I have put on weight. I don't feel like failure and like I am weak because I decided to take a rest. All that is thanks to you! So thank you from sharing you experience with us, you really are life changer for some of us. Maybe more than you realize.

[@effienurse8032]

You’re authenticity is why I love watching your videos and following you ❤😊

[@tinychinita]

Fellow Type 9 here - I am such a people pleaser and want to constantly keep the peace. But thank you for the wonderful reminder that embracing failure is a good thing and that everything will be okay in the end :) I needed this video today!

[@lckcyy]

one of the reasons why i subscribe Natacha is bc as an influencer she speaks from her own experiences not like most of other ppl who just sound like reading the same shit from a script

[@ottipellegrini]

It is so true! I can't believe how much time I have wasted not chasing my dreams because I was worried about what others might think...when in reality NO ONE CARES! And even if they did, I don't let other's opinion affect my choices anymore. I am the only one in charge of my life! You are such an inspiration for me, thanks for sharing ❤

Number 1 reminded me of a quote from one of Kurt Vonnegut's books: "We are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is."

[@CaliMex09]

This couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I guess we are all searching for these things simutaneously. Thank you again Natacha for being so genuine and open.

[@loridiaz1068]

this is exactly what i have been learning in life lately, there are some great books out there to help with this mindset. (present over perfect and the best yes to name a couple) and my life has completely turned around. i have deleted all social media, taken youtube off my phone and backed out of projects that really were too much for me, and i have had the most precious moments with my kids and husband and found time for my passions again. a lot of times when you set off in life you think you are going to find a new you, but down the line you have to strip off the lies of promised satisfaction to find that who you were in the beginning was the best you all along.

[@jnrs15]

If Natacha says she wasn't a happy person but she radiates happiness and positivity now should give anyone hope.

[@liltes25]

Dear Natacha, thank you for always being you. Thank you for always embracing your quirky side and being so encouraging. You make me feel ok to be different and proud of who I am. This video was such a friendly reminder to keep going and to celebrate our own achievements and to simply be kinder to ourselves. Your that little angel on my right shoulder that reminds me to never give you, love you!!

[@jeanelles]

The internet is awesome because you get to find people like Natacha, someone I’ve never met in real life, but who I feel like I can relate to so deeply! This video felt validating and comforting, the bits about saying no and people pleasing, oh boy 🤦🏼‍♀️ it honestly felt like therapy 😅 THANK YOU for sharing ❤️ you’re amazing and we love you
