It's comforting to hear I'm not the only one who feels pressured and anxious to use this time to improve myself and that it results in unnecessary stress. I've also been using my planner as a journal lately. 💙 Thank you, Sarica and belated happy birthday!

[@themintgreenspaceship5787]

Learning to fully accept yourself is a much more productive (for lack of a better word) way to spend this time than to "improve" yourself. Be as slow and quiet as you want and take this time to learn to appreciate yourself and everything that you are, instead of giving in to society telling you that you're not OK the way you are and you need to better yourself.

[@krisydays]

I never thought you can actually use your planner as a creative journal! I thought it really was just for scheduling aaahhh i'll definitely do this with my planners now!

[@imokaart]

I think that it is your planner and you can use it for anything you like, that's the charm of it!!

[@pamelaboxall7015]

Can I just say how lovely it is to see a KZbinr holding their pen so nice and naturally. It's lovely to watch you write. Take care of yourself.

[@dianepecora1201]

I loved this video. So glad I am not the only one with these feelings. The music, your voice, the movement of your hands even the colors of the washi, the simplicity of the pages etc. is so very calming. We will get thru this. Thank you for your serenity. God bless.

[@maritamgt]

Your honesty is comforting and your spread is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your talent. Many blessings to you and your family!

[@dianeevans4935]

This post touched my heart, Sarica -- please do more. You've made me feel that I'm not alone in my thoughts.

[@poisonlady1965]

I love how it turned out...this past week I was under quarantine due to my roommate/bestie testing positive for Covid. Thankfully I tested negative and am back at work this week but the time off last week was kind of nice. The best thing about the bestie is that she sleeps a lot so I have plenty of time to get crafting done and do all the things I want without bugging her and vice versa...we've known each other a long time so she understands my passion for planning and scrapbooking so we don't bother each other over things like that so it was really just a weeks worth of paid time off without going places but often that's my life anyways and my kids are grown and gone so I really can't complain at all. Journaling is a great way to pass time so never apologize for doing it in your planner. We can all learn something therapeutic about that as well as planning. Thanks for sharing your style as always.

[@rp2chil]

I loved what you said about being and empath and how you gave yourself the permission to process that works best for you. I feel like you spoke for me. Thank you for the motivation. Being an empath is a gift and a curse. Love your work. you are so talented.

[@bohemianscrapgirl]

This video was extremely comforting for me as I too am an empath. I don't find you or your video sad...I find it real. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your sincerity. Terri

Thank you for this video and sharing your honest feelings!! You're not alone, we see you also... hang in there!

[@chillydonuts]

What a calming video! A really motivating one at that. I’m now going to start my day with a new mentality: to do things for myself. Not to impress anyone or to fulfill society’s expectations, but for myself. So, thank you so much for uploading this video! Stay safe and healthy!

[@coreandarlionstarot]

Been a whole month, wow! I love this breath of fresh air, didn’t know I needed a video from you. Adore the creativity. May God keep your new family safe 💕

[@goodmonkey71]

I'm so glad to hear some else feeling the same as me regarding the whole "using the free time to be so productive ." I still have to work all week and although I do get to work from home a couple days a week, I don't have extra free time. Even if I did, I can't imagine adding anything such as a learning a new skill to my plate. This whole dark place the world is in is really effecting me...thanks for sharing your feelings.

[@brettcody76]

We (my daughter and I) are with you, Sarica!! Decorating our BuJos with you from Vermont!!

[@taniamello4315]

Sarica, do not think the world is dark. You do illuminate our days with your videos. You have been helping A LOT and you have been lots of people. I wish you luck in everything you decide to do! Should you want, we are here for you ! 😲😉😘🦋😷

[@brittamai5367]

I love your videos. Your friendly and calming voice. Your aesthaetic style. It was joy, to hear from you and watching you create beauty. I hope you can get some rest and sleep.

[@rachell783]

My quarantine binge has been watching “relaxing plan with me,” thank you for your soft voice (not asmr), inspiring material, and just talking. I got your print hand lettering stencils, and it’s relaxing. 💝🌷

[@greylilycalligraphy]

I am an empath as well, and up until about a week ago, I felt the heaviness, but it is changing now. I am settling in to the way of life. You share a birthday with my very best friend, I feel like you are a friend too :) I am enjoying practicing your writing after buying your sets, and now I am wishing I purchased the journaling kits as well. Next time. Thank you so kindly for sharing.

[@Atcraftcity]

I like that idea of press apply stickers and the little pots you made to go with! Im going to do that. Thank you!

[@always_cornelia]

Girl, we’re on the same wavelength 🖐🏼 I’ve been using my daily’s to journal and water paint (badly) since I’ve got no use for them now. I love how you made the little pots for the plant sticker, awfully cute. Stay safe x and -Happy Belated Birthday 🎂 I’m glad you had your lovely family to celebrate with.

[@imokaart]

I am a new subscriber to your channel and pretty new to journaling, but I started for the same reason, to write about these strange times en to find and write down things that still make me happy and/or thankful. Your videos are so calming and so inspiring. Thank you so much!

[@paulaparkison9667]

I am an old introverted lady who enjoys journaling and doing all kinds of art. I really love your videos! I live alone now, so I was grateful to hear you have family to be with. Everyone feels the effects of this life mess...but you hang in there girl!!! Keep making your videos that bless the rest of us!

[@sketchyorange6671]

I love the whole plant vibe, the spread looks so pretty 😊🙂😆

What you talked about is so true and i feel really happy that you were THAT real with your feelings. You truly inspire me. Thank you for your art, please never stop or apologize !!! Be blessed !!

[@LadyNubia007]

This was not sad. This was REAL. I definitely feel and understand what you mean.❤️

[@syl7142]

You and your family please continue to be safe and healthy and take care of yourselves mentally physically and emotionally❤️We’re all feeling it too and seeing you post a new video literally made my night🤗🥰

[@AtSusiesCottage]

How you are feeling is perfectly normal, I know I feel the same! I started using my planner as a journal too, I want to be able to show my granddaughter what it was like as I’m not sure she’ll remember it in years to come xxx💕

[@didita5]

Sarica, you are amazing, thanks a million for uploading this video, my heart goes with each and every one of you during the quarantine, I live in Sweden we are not quarantined, we do it ourselves, people here work from home if they can, it can be hard for people to stay at home unwillingly so please stay safe and stay home. There is no bravery in risking people's lives. Its all about economy here in Sweden, it is getting uglier here each day, so be grateful and pray for us. Keep on watching sarica's videos. Her vedios are therapy by themselves, may God bless you all.

[@cupofkofi]

i super love your video, i played this while filming my "journal with me" video for my channel 😍💗 super calming, i love it.

[@irenevanderpoel1651]

Hi Sarica, you make such inspiring video's, it helps me every time to catch up with creativity in my bujo. Thank you for that, it is what I need! Loved this one also very much. Stay save and enjoy your relaxing hobbies 💛✨

[@patriciagarcia3522]

Oh my! We have the same birthday!! Happy birthday ✨. I too celebrated it with my small family, just my mum and I, but it was lovely. I’ve been using my bullet journal to vent, have a place where I can express myself freely and tend to my thoughts, good or bad. But you have inspired me so much to incorporate collages and my art into my journals, and I’m so grateful to you because this is something that’s helping me a lot through this times. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or anxious, I put on some relaxing music (or just some of your videos tbh) and spend a few hours drawing, that gives me the chance to scape this madness that I need. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful art. Take care!!

[@chelsealee1493]

Happy belated birthday 🥰 enjoy your time with your family and your journal

So beautiful 😍 you are absolutely right! Every day we try to keep everyone happy and occupied and get through homeschool while working 8 hours somehow....by 11pm it's a shock that the days over already. Its hard not.to feel discouraged for not doing more but everything will be ok ❤️

I can only say . I'm envious your books are amazing. Tfs.

[@julialucas6626]

Hello Sarica 🌷🌟🌿. Thank you for this video. The music was so peaceful, relaxing and happy. Your succulent terrarium looks lovely. Belated ‘Happy Birthday’ wishes for you. The first week or two in isolation with my family I was so unmotivated. It was not like me. There was an unexplainable void. I am doing better these days. I am an introvert and there are times I miss seeing family, friends and going for a drive. I hope you feel happier within yourself soon. Enjoy time with your family and being creative with your gratitude journal. It is very beautiful. Take care. Sending you big, warm hugs 💞💙💞

[@TheCatsiii]

Thank you for saying that you don't have to be productive. Everytime I game or watch tv shows I think that I should spend my time better doing something productive... but why should I, my hobbies make me happy! That's all that matters.

[@HanahBanananana]

Your video truly helped me to calm down, *thank you so much* for sharing your thoughts and journal with us! I wish the best for you and your family 🌷

Eu nunca entendo como canais tão bons, bem organizados e com qualidade de ouro tem tão pouco reconhecimento. Parabéns ❤❤

[@mayihaveanap9430]

I’ve been incredibly appreciative that I get to spend time with my toddler at home. We’ve been playing and cooking, and I’ve started bullet journaling and dooodling to pass the time. My little one’s bottom molars have been coming out too and we’ve had some awful, clingy, whiney, irritable, i’m-not-eating-that food-days. Some are easier than others.

[@patsyadams1833]

As usual you videos are thoughtful and beautuful. Thank you.

[@memees2010]

What you're doing is absolute art, I'm an artist and you really inspired me today. You know sometimes creativity born from suffering, I think this free time we have now is a very good chance to live free and enjoy doing what we like to do even if resting and take a breath from that crazy world. Enjoy your vacation from that world :)

[@marjoleinvanlingen7476]

So glad to see you back on KZbin! I really missed your voice en your really nice, beautiful and relaxing way of filming your process. I totally understand how exhausted you must be. I have a 4-year old girl. No theething, but having her home 24/7 for the past six weeks is exhausting too ;-) So smart to use your planner as a journal at the moment. I have a planner and a journal and I'm only using the journal right now because I feel the need to write everything down what's going on right now and how I'm feeling about it. So thank you, thank you for this new video! Love, Marjolein

[@jeanneburns1118]

Hi Sarica! I haven't used a fountain pen in years but you have inspired me to get another one. I'm trying to figure out what size nib I need for journaling, was wondering what size nib is on your pen? The thickness of your pen is perfect, as is your handwriting! I also use my planner as an edited version of journaling, writing words or sentences to mark what is happening at the moment. Comforting in these times, thanks for being there for all of us.

[@wonderwonder30]

Every time I see your washi collection, it makes me go ahhhhh. P.S. how’s the fam? Hope you, your babes and hubby are doing well 💗

[@cathycreates]

Sorry you are finding things so hard. Quarrantine plus young child. is really difficult and it may trigger something like post natal depression. If so, and you feelthat you need it there is a lot of online help out there. Don’t worry about being the best Mum you can be. Just be a Mum. Do the basics.That is enough. Keep writing; it helps.
