Workcation: I rented an Airbnb for 30 hours | Song Writing, Filming, Cooking & Editing

[@nomadchica]

elyse's description of the struggle to figure out the right way to relax so you don't waste the time set aside for relaxing, thus ruining the time that was set aside for relaxing b/c you spent all of it worrying about how to properly relax...is the most relatable thing i've heard all week. :)

[@sfr2107]

Disappointingly relatable lol. I'm experiencing it as I watch

[@christinearianna2424]

Yep. Im always trying to do this ❤

[@breblizz4321]

It was oddly comforting to hear someone else explain the way I feel on the daily when my friends don’t really understand

[@Reesispiecis]

I have ruined years of weekends and days off with this exact anxiety.

[@nicolesaintdenis]

It's not stupid it's REAL. The need to be and feel productive all the time is some deep rooted childhood trauma and self worth work needs to be done. Healing is hard and you're amazing for sharing honest life

Holy smokes I needed to hear and see the real time feels of certain things. Ive never watched another person ACTUALLY going through exactly what i do withcertain things. Elyse, what youve done and created is so pure and beautiful and tremendously helpful to someone like me, trying to learn and understand my "stuff"

[@elyse_myers]

This is so kind 🥹 thank you for your encouragement! It’s scary putting myself out there on the internet like this and comments like this make it all worth it!

[@melliecrow1091]

I hold my hair in my mouth when styling it. I've never seen anyone else do that. It made me so happy to see that I'm not the only one.

[@thaliawhisperwind4013]

Your videos are such a safe place for me. As someone else who deals with a lot of those trauma responses it isn’t easy, and watching you be gentle with yourself really helps me to do the same! Also as a fellow artist who has a hard time believing in my music and the book I’m writing, thank you for lighting that spark again.

[@elyse_myers]

I love this so much!!!

[@MandyBarry]

It is so amazing to see comments that are the same way that I feel! You are not alone, friend!

[@tracybingham7739]

Oh my gosh the moment Elyse said she was calm from the more chaotic shows I literally said yes!! Then when she mentioned how it’s a trauma response my heart sank and I said yes again. I’ve been putting off completing the new patient paperwork for a therapist and now I know I have to get it done today 😢

[@madmommy]

There is so much to process in this video, but can I just say that your death by excitement at the end was epic? As was that song.

[@matilde-roseandre1534]

Saying goodbye house (and hello house) is a quintessential part of going on holiday and staying at an Airbnb IMO.

[@merbear711]

Elyse, I cannot begin to tell you how much of a shining gem you are in a world full of so many boring grey rocks. You remind me so much of myself-and in the best way possible. Parts of myself I forgot about, or thought I needed to stop/lose because I'm a wife and mom now, or that got lost in the shuffle of everyday life as a mom and as a professional patient (I am disabled/chronically ill/chronically in pain /etc. when my sons at school I take care of me and am forever in a damn doctors office... And when he's not, I take care of him, my husband and if there's time... myself). I forget that that me is the me that my husband wanted to be his wife. Not this dulled down boring version of myself I've let myself turn into. Since I got tiktok 6 months ago and found you and been listening and trying to live the words you've inspired me with.... I decided it's time to love myself again. My husband has also been inspired to do such. I mean, hell, just those 3 simple words "go find less" helped me out of what was the worst depression I've ever been through in my 35 years. And now.... We're finally actively trying for our second baby and not just talking about like we did for SIX years, we're going out doing things we love as a family on a weekly basis instead of what felt like an annual basis, we're actively looking for our dream house in our dream state.... I guess by reading all that back the takeaway is we are ACTIVELY LIVING our lives again instead of passively wishing things were different. We've stopped waiting for the right time- because how do we even know what the right time looks like anyhow?. And as cheesy as it sounds.... Youve had a big hand in that, and so... Thank you. You're changing the world Elyse Myers, and I am here for it... Front row and center, Cheering you on. ❤️

[@elyse_myers]

This is so beautiful and I can’t thank you enough for sharing this with me!!!

@merbear711 Your comment just brought tears to my eyes. I’m so happy you have found Elyse but more importantly that you’ve decided to actually live. I totally understand your entire comment and I too have been actively participating after so long on the side lines. I’m in chronic pain myself and I know how much it takes out of me but thankfully my kids are grown now. I will be cheering you on as I cheer myself on not to lapse back into a spectator ever again!

[@merbear711]

@@tracybingham7739 thank you so much for the beautiful comment. It's funny how life changes in a year. To update from my last comment - - like Elyse, I am pregnant with my second child. We're expecting a little girl in December. Our 9 year old son is thrilled. He's been asking for a baby sister since he was 3. We've all 3 started therapy to make sure we have an outlet in hopes of avoiding falling into as deep a depression as I was in prior (I hadn't realize how deeply my depression effected both my husband and son too). And while I'll always deal with chronic pain and my disabilities I find myself pushing through more than I used to so I can enjoy the little things more and not miss out on as many bigger things. Life seems to have brightened and bloomed so much in the last year. ❤️😍

[@linseylouwho]

Elyse, I’m so glad you talked about the “2pm scaries!” I feel this and on the weekends it’s so hard for me to not feel anxious about time I have that isn’t already decided for me. It’s so validating to hear that you deal with this too. Love this! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have the 24 hr scaries. Seems like it at least. I have to find a way to Manage everything all over again. I love you and thank you for sharing!

[@MandyBarry]

Yes! It is a very real thing. It's like my brain and my body knows its coming so sometimes this frozen feelin will set in and then I realize I've autopiloted for 45 minutes questioning everything about life lol, then after my mid morning red bull experience wears off and I feel a little less like that. But Elyse content always pulls me back and makes me feel human and also that we're all normal and people who DON"T feel like that are the not normal folks. lol

[@drdac-ey2uu]

Dude as a fellow OCD’er, thank you so much for this editing style. I love seeing you call out the struggle emotions (doubt, guilt, overwhelm blah blah) it’s pretty grounding for me because I will ruminate on those feelings forever. But seeing you give it a whole 5 second mention after you work really put into perspective for me how much time I “waste” rolling around in those feelings. Idk if that makes sense, I’ve been feeling very kindred spirit with your content from a mental health/illness perspective.

[@elyse_myers]

This totally makes sense!!! I would like to mention that it only makes up a small portion of this video but it takes up a lot more time in my own mind. So please don’t be hard on yourself if you feel like it takes up more of your brain space than it “should”! ♥️

[@REDwuzhere]

I had no idea you sing too. I'm so glad I've discovered you. Not like a pioneer discovering Alaska kind of a thing. But more like, a European colonizer who walks in and sees all these amazing different people and gorgeous things and says: "This, this is mine now." I'm assimilating all of your content into my personal self. Thank you very much.

[@maddiesmith1807]

It’s SO comforting to know that other neurodivergent people struggle with anxiety over properly using free/“me time” and the 2pm scaries - it’s beyond validating to hear about that shared experience, and makes me feel less alone in that space. Thank you for your honesty and openness - the world needs more of that! Also, they should have you on the podcast or something. Just saying… ;)

[@fairyoracle9086]

Elyse, I love how you normalize so many things. And showing that your plate was clean is so relatable for kids who were not allowed to leave the table until they ate all their food. I did content creating under a different channel name, and the bigger it got the more I doubted myself. So relatable that you question yourself through the whole process then have that horrible dread after it’s recorded. I felt that so much. As a Neuro diverse woman who was creating content on my special interest “knitting” I found myself trying to create content like the neuro typicals and that just was never a gate post I could pass! You’re videos are amazing and so inspiring. I may record again, but for now I’m stuck in the pre contemplation stage. Thank you for all you do!

Anxiety is such an interesting thing to go through, its scary and can make you feel very outside of yourself, but its also has helped me lean into growth.

I don't experience creativity as you do nor the inevitable anxiety your natural genius brings. your content not only delights my spirit with humor and rralism, but it really gives me insight to others around me. this life is so precious in all its both wonderfully symmetric and cattywompus forms. tootles from texas.

Elyse, you're amazing! I seriously have so much love and respect for you and your talent and your ability to understand how you spend your time wisely. I love that you even take time to deal with your anxiety and still remain cheerful with a smile on your face, I love it. :)

Loved your whispers in the breakroom song. That's awesome!

I love the fact that Lincoln seems cool to you!! I’m from Iowa and I appreciate that comment.

I totally hit a curb yesterday running to FedEx after work and it made me giggle thinking of you running into one too. Usually I’m immediately embarrassed and filled with anxiety thinking everyone on the world saw it, when more likely no one is even in the parking lot. Thank you for sharing what you do, and normalizing anxiety and how you cope with it. 💜

I am so happy you took time to enjoy a staycation 😊 and I cannot believe you were staying right down the road from my house! I am a coffee roaster in Lincoln, and operate my roasting business out of my house (currently). I would love to send you a bag of coffee or a bottle of cold brew sometime!
