I like the part: "You can only share your gift if you've accepted yourself". That's so true and totally applies to me. Everybody has a gift/a talent but most people are scared to create a KZbin channel (f.e.) even if they would love to. I still have to learn a lot! Great video, Mimi :)

[@aleynastep4656]

Angelina Gevenko yeah! I'm absolutely agree with a part about hair :)

[@gorgeouss79]

My mom always taught me that having negative thoughts about myself and others is from the devil. Every time I have these thoughts I have to consciously stop doing it and think positively- or accept myself and others. 🌺 And, that's when my whole attitude changes for the better!

[@ABeautifulHorizonTV]

"If I was to wait until I was perfect I would never make a video." Yes! So true. Thanks, Mimi! 😊

[@AnitaNaoko]

Haven't even finished the video yet but I just had to stop and thank you. Your advises have really helped me a lot in life and I am just so amazed by the positive person that you are. I really wish that I could be this genuinely happy and positive one day, and until then I will keep on watching your videos and picking up your advises xx

[@jamiesmith1806]

Mimi, You. Have. Changed. My. Life.

[@kylieharan6087]

I love her ! She is my confident booster ! keep doing mimi❤️

[@nathaliemariemarichal]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Omg Mimi I never comment on your videos but I was so happy that you posted that I had to comment. I love you Mimi. You have inspired and motivated me to pursue my dreams of owning a handmade and organic skincare company.

[@elenamartrod1259]

congrats :)

[@nathaliemariemarichal]

Thank you so much. Your kindness is appreciated!

[@alexandraparshintceva8170]

I don`t know why I cried when I watched this video. You are so special, unique, you so help to understand and accept yourself. Thank you, I love you

[@Rhdnsislekndnfkd]

Hello Mimi and all the lovely subscribers! I want to recommend a book to you all because I think you would absolutely love it. It's called 'The Untethered Soul' by Michael Singer and it is truly eye-opening. Much love xxx

[@silviagc28]

Thanks Alina! :)

[@r.r.8648]

Thank yo! I need it so much today

[@nutritiongenius1359]

I loved that book!!

[@mila.rubina]

thank u for recommending!! im gonna go to the library later and try and find it :) and btw Mimi inspired me to be confident. So in return, I want to do that for someone else. I just posted a video about how I finally became confident. I hope I can help someone. I love you and you deserve happiness and full confidence.

[@catt_ganda82]

I love that book too!

[@jamisongee3324]

Yes I am in agreement about all this. The greatest gift we can give ourselves is self acceptance and, in turn, self respect and love. xx.

[@ThePhosilie]

I've been struggling with self acceptance for many years and I finally found a relief. Everytime I feel an unpleasant feeling I concentrate into my inner-self and I say: I'm here for you. It works wonders. Lots of love x

[@blakeyrebeccaross]

It's more common than one would think, to suffer from anxiety. Many people have it, especially women. It's an evolutionary survival mechanism to be always staking out the dangers of a situation. I once heard a scientist say that if mothers were not worriers, then mankind would not exist. I think that when undergoing anxiety, it's also a good technique to think, "This is my primal voice sending me a warning to take care of myself (or a loved one, etc). That is all. Thank you, primal voice, I've heard you. Now I'm ready to move on." And then flip the mental switch to thinking positively. It works quite well! : )

[@lanakoh]

I am so grateful that you take the time and effort to speak from the heart and connect with us so authentically. This is why I subscribe and have you as part of my life. Thank you Mimi, sending you much love Xx

[@Mayaanillusion]

Dearmimi, i love your sit down talk videos. you are an amazing soul and I am happy I can connect with you on youtube. I have mentioned this earlier but you have helped me through a very tough period of my life. You never fail to inspire me. Thank you for being you. Thank you for inspiring us to be us. with love Maya

[@ceejay2741]

you words couldn't have come in such perfect timing, the only way I can share my gift to the world is when I allow myself to truly accept and love myself for who I am despite my flaws. thank you mimi

[@Artevibe]

Wow, such deep insights - that we don't go for what we want because we are afraid of others' judgement. Just what I needed to hear. Thank you!

[@annabishop8750]

"I love and accept myself exactly the way I am." Really needed this today, thank you Mimi. 💕

[@radushachannel]

I adore your attitude of believing and being grateful no matter how much you've been through!

[@stephaniehernandez3491]

Mimi, the message in this video couldn't have come at a better time for me. Self-love has been so hard for me after losing all my self confidence due to weight gain. Your mantra really resonated with me to the point of making me tear up each time you said it. Thank you so much for this video!

[@sharonaaviv8203]

Mimi, interesting talk. You should be on ted talks, honestly lots of love from israel

[@ffa2180]

omg your right she should for sure be on Ted Talks, both with Alex too!

[@darynayatsiuk]

why ted talks if she got a youtube?))

[@golnarbeikzadeh7797]

Sharona Aviv I love Israel!! ❤ love from USA!! 🇺🇸

[@millaaa13]

Sharona Aviv *Palestine

[@MakaMaka156]

So good idea! I love Ted talks, very inspiring people and Mimi definitely it's a person with a great message to share and inspire everyone!

[@annasophie5932]

I really enjoy watching your talking talking videos. They make me reflect the way I think about myself and inspire me to appreciate the gift of life. Love you 💛

[@MimiIkonn]

it's my pleasure Anna

[@howtomakeithappen8236]

Mimi Ikonn I love you. You were created so perfectly and so beautifully. Even when you're feeling down and abandoned you are still beautiful ❤️️🙂

[@anujipapu86]

This video hit me like 1000 bricks. Mimi, you are the best! Thank you + Alex for all the honest chat videos you guys do. Your positivity is motivation and support more than you will ever know. Thank you from the heart.

[@zuzannak9148]

I'm 17 years old girl from Poland and I'm so happy that I can understand your every word in english. Your voice is so pretty. Thank you so much for this video, Mimi! ❤

[@capenyarinama]

i think we need more people like you in this world. You are so incredible and I learnt a lot from you. This world nowadays can be very misleading to us, we need to stay true to ourselves and you always remind me to do that. Thank you so much for sharing Mimi. Love you ❤️❤️❤️

[@sanshamala]

Mimi you're the most valuable and inspirational person on KZbin! Thank you for your viedos! :)

[@Salonikhandelwal17]

Mimi come to India plzz....... Alex also loves Indian food 😀😋😘

[@patriciamoore5240]

Mimi should publish books based on these kind of topics. I personally love to read these kind of books. P.s. Mimi you are so bold to talk about such topics in media. Kudos

[@haybelportal9475]

Hi Sweet Mimi, this video reminded me of the book, The Four Agreements. "If you judge yourself you will find yourself guilty, therefore you will punish yourself". Your example of the night you decided to accept yourself really hit home for me. I am very similar... fear is one unpleasant companion. Yet, resistance only creates anxiety, so it's tricky. Love the video Mimi and truly appreciate your honesty. This is what appealed to me about you since day one. It's not about being perfect, it's about the journey and helping each other in the process. LOVE IT! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Blueyez369]

On mantras, I've always thought they were a bit hokey myself, and it's hard for me to repeat a specific mantra. However, I am a firm believer in the power of positive thinking and I feel like they are related. The more you tell yourself negative things, or focus on the things you don't like about yourself, the more prevalent those things will be to you. I try to focus on the positive in life and in myself. I'm not always very good at it, but I try. One of my favorite quotes is "The problem is not the problem, your attitude towards the problem is the problem.". It reminds me that if I look at things as opportunities, or try to see the good in things, the more good there will be in my life. If I only see obstacles and negatives, then that's what my life will be. By the way, I really do enjoy these videos, your positive outlook on life is inspiring. Thank you for sharing!

[@katerinakk2673]

Self love and self acceptance is a long journey, but it is worth it 100%. Loved this video Mimi!! X

[@mutzydia]

I just want more of this kind of videos! What a raise of sunshine for the soul!

[@sofiaentexno]

The idea of accepting myself came to me one day when I was so mad to myself because I caught me don't like the behaviour of a friend of mine. At that moment I was saying to myself what kind of friend I am if I feel this way for a friend. I am always trying to love and not judge people and what I realise that day is I don't have to do that. People can be wrong and I can feel bad about them and that does not make me a horrible person. From that day till now I am trying to accept me and even though I HATED that I was not perfect now I feel better. You continue to inspire me after all these years. love you mimi 💖

[@mayuhoa836]

Thanks mimi. You are so much inspiring . And you make me feel better. Thanks a lot !!! You are one true great person. Keep up your good work. Love you and ur beautiful family

[@lilay5893]

In the first two minutes of the video you brought me to tears. I have such a creative imagation that can take me to my worst fears. I have been dealing with anxiety for so long and to know I'm not alone at thinking like the way I do gives me relief and hope.Thank you mimi! I could always count on you to say the right things :)

[@calculatedconfidence6198]

As always, thank you for the incredible advice! This was a very enlightening video! Self acceptance doesn't mean being positive all of the time and only celebrating the "good" parts of you! It's loving it all! You're awesome!

[@victoriasecret2891]

This video appeared exactly when I need it. Thank you Mimi. You are the best. I think a lot people need talks like this because unfortunately not everybody has someone who will support them in bad time of their life and they searching for support somewhere else.

[@doriscastaneda6518]

Please do more sit down videos like these! Love your positivity Mimi. Keep inspiring the world. Lots of love from NYC!

[@16Maryam]

Definitely more of these talking videos. Your positive energy rubs off on others too. Such a sweet and genuine soul you are!! Xo

[@CarmenANazario]

I just had to pause the video to comment that maternity has beutifies you even more! You are beautiful in and out. Blessings to you and your family!

[@sarahleonardi3520]

Only one word: THANKS! I was really touched by your words! I really appreciated this video! I look forward to watching a next one. Big kiss from Italy ❤❤

[@YuliaSpesivtseva]

This is a very good quote that I've found in the "Calm" application: "If we can accept our imperfections as they are, quite ordinarily, then we can use them as part of the path"

[@stasameglic5398]

I'm so grateful for all of yours videos. You always fill me with optimism. In the moment i stopped watching your videos I realized how wrong this is because I really missed your inspirational speeches, so now it became my routine to listen to you and Alex. Thank you for being here!

[@ashleyy6592]

Thank you Mimi, I sooooo need to hear this right now. Being a type-A person I've used to beat myself up to always drive forward , always go go go and be better! I've benefited from it no doubt, but I'm at this stage I guess it finally starts to wear me off. I feel tight and exhausted inside. How can I make the world a better place and give my gift carrying such energy?! I can't. And your video just has given me the perfect starting point of my heart recovery from self-judgement. Thank you, you are such a beautiful soul and I aspire to be like you one day to be a force of good in this world:)

[@MrDriulike]

You are the most inspiring person I know Mimi!! I love your talks, your thoughts and how deep you are. I am reading the same books as you are and I also got a 5 minute journal!! (P.s. the delivery and the service as a whole was amazing, my boyfriend was ordering it for me as a surprise as he wanted to give it to me as a little graduation gift, and the people working in the service made sure it arrived faster and in time). So happy for you Mimi! Greetings to your little one and Alex! Lots of love from the Netherlands !

[@no90ok]

You are incredibly kind. I think many of us focus on the final result, and lose the beauty and grace of the journey. I love to garden, I adore plants, and think they are beautiful at all stages. There is beauty in growth, not just in blooming. Blessings x

[@milicadj4059]

Mimi, I never loved brown eyes before, but your sparkly eyes really made me love that color now.

[@lizzysaunders3014]

I love your talking videos so much! I lost your youtube channel, and had been thinking of all the life changing advice I got on this channel over the years! So glad I found you again. Keep it up, keep encouraging and bringing value to the world, we really appreciate it

[@eylul9755]

Mimi you are truly amazing. I had tears when you mentioned that you receive comments on your accent because I relate a lot to that. My first language is turkish and I also speak french and english. And I do have an accent in english too. I was always shy to speak in english because of that but now I am starting to accept and love that part of me, and I am improving every day. Your thoughts, your mindset and your amazing positive energy are so supportive and helpful for so many people. Thank you for being you and sharing with us. Love you xox

[@arshadmammadov92]

Melissa Fullwood Happy Birthday 😍

[@bevroberts7712]

I loved listening to this video Mimi. If we were all perfect and had no faults, how boring would that be. And if we can change something in ourselves that we're not happy with and see the change, then how much better does that make us feel about ourselves. On the whole Mimi, you have no reason to ever doubt yourself, you are a very lucky young woman that has been blessed with so many lovely qualities, beauty, lovely personality, amazing figure, interesting, ambitous, intelligent. Never doubt yourself again, your vunerability makes your personality so much more endearing. And that's why people love listening to you.x

[@NicNat22]

What a beautiful video and message. I agree wholeheartedly that to see changes in yourself, you first have to embrace who you are. However, I've never heard this idea framed in terms of shifting energy from self-loathing to self-acceptance and action. So insightful!

[@tabeazoe8372]

this is so true! accepting yourself is just being honest to yourself. so it is much easier to be honest to other people! for example this year I learned to accept that I am not physically able to do as much as the people around me and by accepting this I could explain it to the people around me better and in return all of them understood and helped me.

[@piatraamazonului]

I am not a very outgoing person and I would always hate myself for that, and I would start comparing with other people and put myself down for that. I thought this is what a strong person would do, but you are right, you become stronger only when you accept yourself. so enlightening! sending love back to you for sharing the message.

[@jyothiguruprasad5080]

Love ur talking videos Mimi! You truly are an inspiration. I feel so happy to be a part of this channel. Thank you so much! Lots of love!

[@CassieSamji]

BIGGEST TAKEAWAY: No matter who you are and what you do, people will ALWAYS judge you. Even if you're the most wonderful person in the world. So ACCEPT and LOVE yourself. Do what you love - because people will always be there to put you down. This is such an important lesson to learn! Love you so much for sharing such a vulnerable part of yourself! ❤️

[@katyakomlach6171]

Amazing message, very honest and inspiring! Thank you for sharing your insights on self-love with us. Your talking videos are fabulous!

[@MimiIkonn]

Thank you so much Katya

[@user-lf3js9ob4o]

Мими, вы какая-то невероятная! Смотрю ваши влоги и на душе становится светлее, хочется улыбаться и менять свою жизнь к лучшему! Спасибо большое, что делитесь положительной энергией! Это очень ценно 🙏🏻

[@RashellEliAriel]

I always cry during your talking videos. Thank you so much Mimi

[@irinashateeva4496]

Thank you very much for this video! I needed it so much because recently I faced with depression. And the main problem is that I can't accept myself. But I am going to change. I love and accept myself as a way I am!

[@bonniep.8516]

I couldn't love this video enough.. I shared it to all that I love.. Thank you for your inspirational words.

[@8xtl8]

You look absolutely stunning in this video... It actually seems like you keep looking better as you age! And thanks for this nugget of wisdom, self-compassion is so important :)

[@mayn-s.5535]

Thank you for bringing up this important aspect of being a human! We are our worst critics many times and acceptance is a way we show compassion towards our poor selves! Also it can help us accepting others since we have no control over what people do or say. Çok teşekkür ederim! Much love from Istanbul!💕

[@samarrejeb2335]

I swear every time i watch your videos i fall in love with the inspiring human being you are , i truly hope i can one day positively influence and change people's lives like you do

[@marinayege1476]

[@maryamnajafi8654]

Thank you Mimi for your amazingly inspiring videos. I'm literally grateful for the chance I had to know you! I've changed my lifestyle a lot; just because of you and Alex. You two have taught me how to enjoy every single day of my life! And how to find the best way to better my vision and be satisfied with myself! I truly owe you two!!! Thanks for everything. Pls keep on posting ur talking videos. Lots of love from Iran

[@kathleenchau8305]

Thank you for this, Mimi. I hit a rough patch in my life just recently and watching this video made me feel so much better about myself. Definitely saving this video for future reference. You're such an inspiration! Sending you nothing but love!

[@ANGELAMORA1]

Mimi, you clearly exteriorize your thoughts through your radiance. Awesome video.

[@MariaKonieczna]

That is truly amazing that there are trolls out there in the internet who will dislike whatever the content you put up, even something so inspiring (love the video by the way, and I love how I always feel better after watching your channel, thank you for that! we need positive people lik you! :). I guess being able to leave bad feed-back gives them the feeling of power. I'll never get that.

[@katerinavaclavikova2281]

Yes, just recently I`ve started to really accept myself the way I am, I think it helps me to improve step by step, to grow as a person. These kind of your videos are my absolute favorite Mimi, love you so much and thank you! :)

[@nutritiongenius1359]

This is why I love you. You're always so open, honest, and I find you to be an incredibly inspiring human being. I relate a lot because Im a super creative person too, and my right brain is always working overtime...imagining things that may not be true. I hope you continue to judge yourself less and less because I only see beautiful things about you.

[@yariiiglecias9093]

I love these inspirational talks from you! can you do one on what you did to get through really sad times? like what you did to cheer yourself up?

[@romyfleurs4990]

You're so right mimi! I have an accent too and I always judge myself because I cannot accomplish to speak like a native speaker. Thanks for all these great advices!

[@kelseytaylor6314]

Mimi, thanks for sharing and being yourself! I love the talking videos. They are so energetic, positive, and friendly!

[@BlankCanvasArts]

Keep on shinning! Thank you! Mimi! Your prayers reached my heart this week truly!

[@olganistratova]

Thank you, Mimi! Talking videos are my favorite ones. You inspired me to start creating them myself and share my own thoughts. It does take lots of courage and, as you said, acceptance to show vulnerability. Now I admire you even more when I know how hard it is to open up and show the real you to people who you don't even know.

[@Andrewmahan09]

“I love and accept myself just the way I am” ❤

[@Megandicks]

yes !!! I LOVE these types of videos and topics that teach me how to be more humble, how to accept myself, how to be happy, how to be grateful :) Thank you.

[@kaylanssenfuma5155]

I appreciate your honesty Mini and that you think these things through and are intentional about your life. Even though I've not met you I feel like I know you well and care about you. I agree it's not helpful to judge yourself but we do not need to accept that we have fears and anxieties and allow them, there is no fear in love, perfect love drives out all fear and true freedom and liberation comes not from accepting fear but living without it. Fear doesn't serve us, it hinders us. I had to give birth in a forgein country and was plagued with fear about it, but through the wisdom of some amazing women in my life I was able to charge forward with my birth with ZERO fear and it changed my life! I hope you can find total freedom from fear and anxiety through love and come to know and believe it is possible. I don't normally comment on videos but I care about you and want you to experience this same freedom from fear that I have found.

[@taypage333]

This could not have come at a better time for me. Thank you for your honesty.

[@nadias.7031]

You're wonderful Mimi! It is soo great to see you this happy and successful. You motivate every day so many different people around the globe with your beautiful words. You can be proud of your gorgeous self. Stay as powerful, as self confident and as lovely and honest as you are. Wish you nothing but lots of happiness and success in life!
