Hi! I just wanted to say that in spanish we have separate words for "I am" one being "soy" (like WHAT I embody) and "estoy" (like where I am, how I am) so when we are sad we don´t say "soy triste" like I AM sad, we say "estoy triste" (like I am sad now, but is like a place where I am not something inside me). A lot of other languages do have this feature, so cool that you could find a way to make that difference in english to!

[@cernatcristina]

Something I learned from my therapist is to say something like "sadness is happening to me" or "I am experiencing sadness". It makes it so easy to sit with the feeling

[@mastandstars5869]

Flopii Spanish is one of the happiest languages ❤️ Yes! Christina. I do the same. So silly but after a hot shower I’ll correct myself from thinking I am cold TO coldness is present.

[@Valdir1981]

Yes, we have the same in portuguese. Great explanation!!!

[@psykloz]

Same in Portuguese! :D Nice that you pointed that out!

[@bettybutler1686]

I’ve used 3x5’s for 60 years 9 careers later!!! Tasks replace Goals. Passions replace purpose Focus on the PATH rather than the trees. Live in the moment, past is a reflection, future is a mirage. Competition and comparisons are cheaters. Only track your own progress. You are “teething “ on your life span . Growth rings show pride and joy jumps on your journey Keep a growth journal to see how far you’ve come

[@chloehunter3428]

Ever since your previous video on the index card method, I've been trying it out too. And I must say it's so much more effective than I thought it would be. I'm such a visual person that I thought a vision board would be more influential, but the fact is that it's just distracting before fading into the background. The index card method is so much better - thank you so much for posting your previous vid, and I can't wait to find out what you have to say in this one!

[@Lefie]

Awesome to hear that you find it helpful!

[@joeltupacmendoza5471]

But I dont get it. You read it every day? every week? how does it function?

[@BarbiQued]

@@joeltupacmendoza5471 I think those were discussed in her previous video about the cards

[@occultnachos]

Seriously though, THIS HAS ALSO CHANGED MY LIFE! I recommend it to others because it is daily subconscious repogramming codes. I read them while I am walking, and generally have them out/visible whenever I am doing something related to the card (e.g. "I meditate everyday" is in front of me while I am meditating). When I am "unsure" of what I am doing in a moment of my day, I can mentally remember the card, so if I am on the fence about going for a walk, I remind myself that "I go for walks everyday". It is a wonderful way to reinforce/stay accountable for all the shit you desire for growth, versus giving into the comfort. Thanks Lefie!

[@PeterGMcDermott]

You are a master class of so many things. Thank you for sharing your evolution with us--I gain so much from so many of your videos! Your storytelling (which I have always thought great) has certainly improved over time. Please keep this passion alive as long as you can, it is a selfless act that helps so many!

[@darcio90]

This is such an inspiring exercise. Wow. I have been writing in a bullet journal, and just started into the world of positive affirmations and this is right up my alley. I also reminds me of my current deck obsession. Like I have a yoga deck, a therapy deck, a quit it deck, and this feels more personal. I like it.

[@PhiloftheMetaverse]

Lefie! I made my own index card vision board inspired by you, and my life also changed dramatically. This is why I follow you! Have a great week.

[@Lefie]

Ah! Great to hear, Phil! 😁 Hope you have an excellent week too.

[@judihulslander298]

Your reframing "I am sad"..... cracked open a new way of thinking for me... Gonna try it with " I am old." since I am 74.... Thanks! And, my version of a vision board currently is one or two quotes printed out on my computer and posted where I see it. Right now it says.. TODAY ONLY

[@KitchenTableChatsENM]

I saw your previous video last week about doing these cards and loved the idea so much that my BFF and I got together old school to work on them together! We even did a few magazine cutouts for a few of the cards. I’ve been looking at my deck every day and have added a few more over the last few days. It’s a great reminder of where I want to go in life and who I want to be. Thanks for sharing!

[@lizsmith_]

I made index cards after your first video, you inspired me so much. I cut out pictures of things I would like in my life too, read them every day, and those things are now happening in my life!

[@ciaranlappin5016]

In the Irish language, "I am sad" is "Tá brón orm" which translates back as "the sorrow/sadness is on me". I only thought about this now, but it also means sadness can be taken off of you too. "Tá athas orm" is " the happiness is on me" 😀

[@melaniezoe09]

(Edit: I didn't see that other people had commented the same already. Sorry! 😅) That's really interesting! I was going to comment that in Spanish we say "Estoy triste", which broadly translates as "I'm sad", but its real meaning is "I feel sad". That's usually a difficulty in learning Spanish, the difference between "ser" and "estar", where the verb to be would be used in English.

So happy to see an update with others experience with the cards in the comments too. I just discovered your channel tonight and can’t wait for morning to make my own deck!! Thanks for sharing, and updating!!

[@elizabethchurchill2933]

Spanish has two different verbs that mean "to be". One is used for how you feel, and the other for what you are. I am short, I am smart, I am an avid reader, use the verb "ser." I am mad, I am sad, I am confused, use the verb "estar."

Hi Lefie, loved this video, I have watched your channel from the start, you have come a long way, you always make me smile. I'm 57 years old & I want to say, ALWAYS be true to yourself, just be YOU! You are a beautiful person. Unfortunately it's taking me all these years to realise that you can't please everyone, but you have to face yourself in the mirror at the end of the day. Keep being you and good luck with your future, have a fantastic day, Warm Regards, Fiona, Sydney, Australia 😊

I love that you updated this! I have been trying to organize my thoughts into note cards for ages, but never worked it out. Your videos help me organize my thoughts into productive action!

[@sophieclk7004]

It seems to me you look happier. About distancing oneself from negative thoughts, it can be useful to rephrase : 'Im having the thought that [blank]. Im noticing that Im having the thought that [blank]'. Only with harmful thoughts, negative feelings need to be felt :)

[@SkyfallLotus]

I made a physical deck when you first made your video to try it out too.... but then I forgot about it. I updated it as I was watching your video then you mentioned having a digital one and I think I'll try that instead since I'm always on my phone or computer. Definitely placing it somewhere where I can read it and see it everyday will help - I just shoved mine into my book shelf... I promise I'll get better at this! Thank you for the update, Lefie.

[@denahom]

Thank you Lefie! I used this idea this year for my fifth graders. They keep their clipped cards on their desks and each morning they go through them, replacing them or reading them over.

I'm glad you had an update on this, because the previous video helped me out, and I like my cards. I'm not a fan of Jordan Peterson (at all) but I am a fan of Lefie, so I got past that. 😋 I went with the physical cards, because I've had digital ones which I ignored after I made them. And my deck is a little smaller, but I'm always expanding it.

The feelings section: I said one day to my son: "I am anxiety" rather than I am anxious - or even, I feel anxious. He nodded and said, "Yes, you are." Well, that's not what's on my birth certificate. I have yet to change to the "I currently feel..." but I'm going to start today. Also, I'm thinking of that now like a weather report: "Currently I feel anxious (ETA: and I typed anxiety - lol) but there's a shift in the atmosphere and better front of emotions are moving in."

Yes, Carol! The weather report idea is gold! Makes it somehow more fun, too... 🙃

I made something sort of like this once, a meant to look over every day aspirational goals and quotes booklet. I dug around just now and found a 2x3 inch notebook with perforated pages that I think will work well to combine that old project with your idea. Hate the idea of index cards for this for myself because my dissertation has used so, so many and I'm not done with that yet so I'm spiteful and vindictive towards notecards and will be for at least two more months. Figure is not the best idea to combine my vision board with something that makes me angry lol.

And I had one weekly section w a M-F checkoff boxes Some cards were Avoiding, Indoor projects, Outdoor projects and Daily. These change every week bc now things are being completed The Beliefs cards get me thru the day. I now don't let the hours get away. I even have a box limiting my soc media and zoning out time. So helpful. It's a coach in a pocket. It's personal rewards I can see. A checked box let's me know that I am progressing towards these goals. Some for now, some forever, all needed.

There are three systems of note taking and planning that actually work: Franklin Covey, multiple legal tablets, and index cards. I have tried all three.
