Overcoming Impatience & Disappointment || "literally br(OK)en" - ep. 2

In Episode 2, you get another deep look into the internal struggle I dealt with & lessons I've learned, since my traumatic & near-fatal car accident 5 months ago. I put the OK in broken 😉
I was living alone in a cute lil apartment in a foreign country, studying performance art. I had started to make amazing friends, and I was falling in love with the culture. I had plans to travel around Europe and make lots of memories and learn valuable life lessons. But sometimes God has a way of working in the weirdest way possible. I think I've learned about life by being bedridden and healing at home, more than I would have exploring Europe. That's weird.
Learning to overcome impatience and disappointment... was and still is not easy, and i don't have all the answers. But I hope you could learn something from what I shared today. Opening up takes a lot of guts for me, so thank you for the positive feedback on Episode 1. I hope you're enjoying the series thus far! As always, share your opinions below, for I'd love to start a discussion.
--- If you've been in a traumatic car accident or are recovering from broken bones or other injuries, feel free to DM me on instagram, and I'll add you to a group chat! (support system). It's a safe space where we share updates on our recovery and listen to each other vent about the rollercoaster of emotions we all go through. ---
thank you for supporting me for the past 5 months.. it means so so so much!! AND THANK YOU FOR 5K OMG
love, rae

Any day above ground is a good day. Before you complain about anything, be thankful for your life and the things that are still going well ~ Germany Kent💛

[@RachelNielsen]

AMEN AMEN AMEN.

[@joelberends685]

'Everything has a purpose'--tough words to hear and embrace; seeking joy through presence is the framework for living a full life, one with auxins bent toward light, love. Thank you for your honest reflection. 💛

[@RachelNielsen]

You put it so well!

[@RachelNielsen]

[@jackdavide5742]

*Yellow Heart* Great video, Rachel. Yes, you reminded me there are times when the brain rushes faster than the body, and having the expectation that the body would easily catch up. That for me was impatience. I found looking at possibilities helped. You mentioned studying theater and I just thought about the possibility of time and recovery enabling you to develop into a writer...some great plays. Great video, Rachel.

[@RachelNielsen]

thank you for this input! 🙏🏻 my grandma said the same thing about writing a book or play 😅 i would but honestly i think it’s still quite fresh to just delve into it.. i have kept a diary though ✨

[@Lindsay1930]

RamblingRea makes alot of since. We all get impatient especially when things get in the way of your agenda. Its doesn't matter about the time that you complete whatever your trying to do. What matters is that you never gave up, you tried it and accomplished things

[@RachelNielsen]

Sylura Lindsay amen amen amennnn 🙏🏻

girl you are making me even more obsessed with your channel every single time you post another video!! Already have this video a big thumbs up ♡

[@RachelNielsen]

thank you so much 💛

[@GraceESutanto]

Life isn’t perfect, plans aren’t gonna go the way you want it to be. As a perfectionist, I would’ve freaked out and I would have my hands tied, but it’s life. I am, too, very impatient with everything but things take time (i hate it so much but yea its life). Failure is normal, disappointment is normal, rough patches are normal, no one’s life is super perfect.

[@RachelNielsen]

so glad i’m not alone in this 😫 it be like that sometimes

when I was in grade 2 junior high I had been hit by an acl and at that time I decided to stop playing basketball but I tried to get up and finally I could play basketball again. I feel a little like a friend when I see my friends playing basketball when I still get acl, but now it can not be broken anymore.

[@RachelNielsen]

ahhh that sounds awful.. patience is definitely key. proud of you!
