10 HOUR INTROSPECTION

[@jnlpscl]

its crazy how much energy you transpire through these videos just by watching you, i feel it. thank you for that. i just love your spirit

[@bisouselle]

Jnlpscl I feel the same way. She’s truly one of the best content creators in my book. So authentic.

[@TheSANTIAG0]

You 👏 tell 👏 them 👏 Rachel! 👏 It’s not the cost or the superficialities of the item but the value you hold with the item! You appreciate the craftsmanship and love that went into it. And you have such loved in items that you know you can express your true self with. 🦋✨ Thank you for this series and being so authentic with us! ✨🌱

[@Mmmaaarrr86]

watching youtube can tend to leave me feeling unproductive and my mind foggy afterwards, but after watching your videos i feel a sense of space, inspiration, and even a bit recharged. your thoughts about not being sure if you are doing Sag things because you might be subconsciously biased was enlightening to hear, as I identify a lot with my sign, but there are also many parts of my personality that I believe are just 'me,' and not based off of an idea, like astrology is. anyway, thanks for being you, always. your energy manages to radiate off of the computer screen and touch many, which is talent. much love

[@ByKristyLin]

omg i totally feel you on the personality things. I think the recent wave started with the whole 'hey introverts exist' thing. Like, it was super helpful to bring to the mainstream how it's not weird to not like to go out partying all the time...but like, we're all on a spectrum. Everything you do or don't do doesn't have to translate directly back to something symbolic. Like, the line between self-awareness and self-labeling and thus self-limiting. The line between reason and excuse.

[@honeybrown6953]

When you talked about materialism and consumerism, I related to that comment because I was and am exactly how you described it for yourself. Of course, as a 20 year old who is constantly targeted in the media by these trendy items and fashion, I have to pause & think if I really like it or if I just want it for the status. Most of the time, even if I feel I have the answer, I don’t buy it and come back to it a week or two later and I feel completely different. It’s just a spurr of the moment desire and the rush to pursue it. The eyes are the gateway to desire, and I’m learning how to control it as I grow. Sadly, we really do live in a materialistic world.

I could see you in Portland! I'm a portlander and I have to say its my favorite city. I just love everything about it - the amazing food, local shops, great thrift stores, beautiful landscapes (hiking, biking, mountain climbing, rafting, etc). So SO wonderful.

[@elysia37]

Rachel, I've been watching you for a few years now and this has become one of my favourite vlog series ever! Thank you for being such a beautiful soul and inspiring me to become an independent young woman who is unapologetically herself. You've really helped me navigate my early twenties a bit better - you're like the older sister I never had, haha. Much love from London xxx

[@sippingjuice]

Super side note but I only just realized now 4 years later that Glossier totally copied your Good Morning Rachel video and turned it into their central campaign theme!?!?! This whole time I thought that vid you made was just hopping on the trend...?!? Wow...

[@deedee0984]

Cat M what wasn't it done in collab with Glossier ?

[@sippingjuice]

@@deedee0984 no, unfortunately. She wasn't working with them at the time she posted Good Morning Rachel, they just copied her idea. But she did end up working with them later, just not at the time of posting that video and then Glossier implementing it into their campaign :)

[@carolineburns413]

Where do you get your jewelry? Everything you wear is so bomb!

[@cspenc8784]

It was fun watching your spontaneous, experiential, wanderlust become those insights into our current human condition. We all have to engage in trade for the items we need to exist. Balancing price, utility, and craftsmanship; while minimizing the externalities of the goods and services we consume, is responsible commercial behavior. I loved your revelatory musing on behavioral bias in response to the hyperscale, amplified, social milieu in which we find ourselves. The brave souls like yourself who live in a state of high digital exposure are always subject to bidirectional cause and effect. It's healthy for us all to have a fear of losing ourselves in reaction to the demands of social media. Keep striving for that higher plane of existence that'll improve our world, and take everyone else on social media along for the ride!

[@thatschicblog]

wow thank you for the beautiful thoughts and empathy to something i sometimes find hard to uncover because i'm so *in it*. i hope we see you in our slack group because your mind and words are 😍

[@Tenderheartedclub]

I seriously wish I could binge watch your videos for the first time all in one go, but I cannot resist watching them as soon as they come out! You know how to keep the people wanting more, which is no easy feat in this continuous content environment.

[@JackieTranYT]

"This call out culture has got to stop." PREACH!!! Ugh..so frustrating sometimes. The ultimate example of people in the cheap seats who's opinions should not matter to those actually doing things. Loving this series! Seems like you had such an amazing experience on your trip. Super random but I actually came to your channel by way of your mom! I used to work for her and she mentioned it when we were chatting years ago and I looked it up out of curiosity and have been enjoying your videos ever since. Just wanted to say thank you for putting out great work! I often find myself either inspired or thought provoked or sometimes just distracted and entertained which is okay too.

[@thatschicblog]

omg my MOM!!!! so cute she talked about me!!!!!!!!!!!! i love her and now you thank you for watching!!!

[@ByKristyLin]

seriously!!! I think we are finally reaching a backlash to all this self-righteousness. Just because your voice is important doesn't mean it's more important than someone else's and doesn't mean your opinion is always necessary.

[@nataliecurriee]

i really resonate with this & you & everything in this video about being able to enter a mediataive mindset wherever you go. to take that with you & be fully present in a moment is so special, and being able to “un-box” yourself from any standard norm you choose to put yourself in and recognize. i’m so grateful for your words... this channel ♥️

You need some sort of counseling certification at this point! In this series you’ve put words to so many feelings I’ve been trying to articulate but couldn’t unpack. Thanks for the listening recommendations!

[@Q2Emma]

I'm astonished how immediately your mode changes upon the environments you face. A rigid ego comes before all surroundings. It seems good, it seems right!

I’ve also been listening to the Oprah/Ekhart Tolle series and it has been life changing! And so eye opening! I want to read the book soon!, love that you mentioned it :) and would love to hear more of your thoughts as well, always interesting hearing others perspectives and perceptions 💕

[@lcook4691]

Wow, this series! I've always watched your videos because they are so beautifully put together and aesthetically pleasing. I never really saw you as someone I could relate to on a level deeper than being a woman and having good style. But these vlogs that seem to reveal the real you, is a lot like the real me, and probably the real all of us. This content is top-notch! Thank you!

[@sanjana_trndd]

[@akualikewater]

Wow eckhart tolle’s message is spreading! ✨✨✨ the power of now has definitely been a life changer for myself and my friends so far

[@cindyc2168]

I also buy things for the sentimental value and craftsmanship but then it’s hard to not have your belongings own you and not be heartbroken if they are lost, broken or stolen. How do you work around that emotionally?

[@maddiet9986]

Cindy C I think that’s pretty normal! If you wear it and love it then OFC you’ll be heartbroken if it gets damaged or lost. IMO what appears materialistic is buying clothes for the brand name or logo (ie Supreme).

I cant recall what exactly the first vid of your channel that I watched that made me subscribe to your channel. I dont know if you yourself can be aware of it but, I have subscribed and followed you for over 2 years now and I always feel something calm and peaceful in the way you talk and express your ideas and thoughts that almost makes me feel like you can transfer some kind of healing energy to your audience. I never miss any of your uploads and when I feel lost and unbalanced at some points with my life last year, I went back to your vids and rewatched it to calm myself down. There is sth about you and the way you convey your contents here in KZbin are a lot more special than others and I dont know why I cant point it out. Anyways, just say you know I loveeee and absolutely adore you and I will always be your loyal fan here

Empty yourself of everything. Let the mind rest at peace. The ten thousand things rise and fall while The Self watches their return. They grow and flourish and then return to the source. Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature. The way of nature is unchanging. Knowing constancy is insight. Not knowing constancy leads to disaster. Knowing constancy, the mind is open. With an open mind, you will be open hearted. Being openhearted, you will act royally. Being royal, you will attain the divine. Being divine, you will be at one with the Tao ( source, god, universe) Being at one with the Tao is eternal. And though the body dies, the Tao will never pass away. - Lao Tzu
