Dr. O'Hare, everybody, Dr. O'Hare. This video we're gonna talk about capillaries. So let's start with what are they, right? So arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry it back, but capillaries are like the functional unit of your circulatory system. What's the point of carrying blood around unless you can't deliver things and pick up things? So capillaries are gonna be where we deliver nutrients, deliver oxygen, and then pick up waste products, carbon dioxide, metabolic waste, et cetera. And then we do the process over and over and over again. We've already talked about the role of the heart, continually moving that blood around. So here we see a capillary bed. First thing I want you to notice was called the precapillary sphincter. So these are going to generally be closed, right? If every precapillary sphincter was open and all your blood was in your capillaries, there wouldn't be any blood left. So the majority of the time, most of the branches of capillary beds are closed. And then they're allowed to open when they're needed. That's how your body can determine should I send more blood to my muscles right now because I'm exercising, or should I send more blood to my gut because I'm adjusting a huge meal, these types of things. The other benefit of these precapillary sphincters is they basically allow blood to kind of spurt into your capillary beds. It's not continuous flow. And the reason that's important is because fluids are going to take the path of least resistance. So if blood were just to continually flow through capillaries, it would choose the path that seemed to work the best for it where there was the least resistance. So this spurting of blood makes sure that an entire capillary bed gets used and all of your cells get oxygen and get to deliver their waste products. All right, but the key thing I wanna talk about here is what actually happens at capillary beds. This is a very, very important image because this describes how capillary beds work, but also ties into things we're gonna cover soon about the lymphatic system. So here we see a capillary bed. And just so you know, it's not 50-50, it's actually there's slightly more of an arterial end of a capillary than a venous end, but not a huge deal here. But what we're looking at is so in the left-hand side, the arterial side of a capillary, it's primary job is filtration. And that's because there's enough pressure coming through here that it can filter out liquid. It's called capillary hydrostatic pressure. So there's enough hydrostatic pressure flowing through this capillary that it's gonna squeeze or push fluid out of the arterial end of a capillary. So that's why you see that net filtration pressure is a positive number. It's filtering fluid out. So it's gonna filter out about 24 liters of fluid a day. And that fluid becomes interstitial fluid, the fluid between your cells. It bathes your cells with nutrients and oxygen and the like, right? So that's what's happening on the left-hand side. Then we have this place where there's balance in the middle. And then on the venous side, you're gonna see what's called blood colloid osmotic pressure. So osmosis is the movement of water, water following solutes.  So 24 liters of fluid is filtered out. 20.4 liters is gonna be sucked back in. So this is assuming you have enough blood cells and plasma proteins in your blood. And the most important plasma protein here would be albumin.  So you look at, let's say someone is starving in protein malnourished. You've ever seen an image of a starving child that's skinny. Then you have a starving child that's skinny that has a pot belly.  The child that's skinny with a pot belly, that's fluid accumulation called acides. They don't even have enough protein available to make albumin. So yes, 24 liters of fluid might be being filtered out but less than 20.4 liters is being reabsorbed. Here in the United States, what you might see is someone with liver failure. So people with liver failure, they might accumulate liters of fluid a week that has to be drained off and that's because their damaged liver, it can't make the plasma protein albumin. So it could be. So in those two cases, in one case, there isn't the resources to make albumin. In the other case, the liver is too damaged to do so but either way, you're filtering out 24 liters a day, maybe even more if you have like high blood pressure or something but you're reabsorbing less and that's why that fluid is accumulating. Let's go back to a normal healthy person.  They'll reabsorb 20.4 liters of it because of the net filtration pressure being a negative number here on the right hand side but where does the other 3.6 liters go? Well, it becomes lymphatic fluid. So if you think about lymphatic fluid is basically recycled blood plasma.  It's gonna work its way to the right atrium but until it does so, it's lymph or lymphatic fluid and as it travels through your lymphatic system including your lymph nodes and your lymphoid organs, right? It's basically a way for your body to clean and monitor what's going on in your blood that it can't do in the circulatory system because the blood's moving too fast. So lymphatic fluid's very important. You need that 3.6 liters of fluid to become lymph rather than just going back into the capillaries. Okay, that is the function of capillaries and the production of lymphatic fluid. I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day. Be blessed.


you guys I got my nice home bra here that I'm enjoying it freaking snowed last night or yesterday and there's snow on the ground right now and it's so cozy and I just want to cuddle up and not work out today but that's not gonna slide this week so we are going to our workout even though it's so cozy and it's so uncalled for because it's literally the end of February almost March like why is it snowing who knows but not gonna lie it is pretty cozy and it's like pretty rainy right now it's raining really hard and I was hearing it in the morning like hit roof and it sounded so nice and I just wanted to sleep and stay in bed but anyways I kind of woke up a little bit later today I'm supposed to be up at 5 30 but I woke up at like 5 45 because I just sniffed my alarm that one last time because I was just listening to the rain and it was so nice anyways I'm gonna go upstairs now get dressed in my workout set how cute are these pajamas by the way I'm obsessed my sister got them from me Madison from Walmart she said which is so surprising because they're so nice such a soft material very picky about my pajamas you could easily sleep in these because the material is like not too thick so it doesn't get too hot and they're just so cute I love them and I do really love the color she got them for me in two different colors so I also have like a floral print I'll show you guys probably sometime this week but let's go get ready for our workout I have a power core class today oxygen yoga and fitness so that is a sleigh let's go go ready before procrastinating more so I just got home from my workout class and good protein gifted me a few protein so I just wanted to show you guys and I'm gonna make my protein shake with it this morning with probably this banana one because it looks so good they have plant-based protein powder the ingredients are actually really impressive and mostly everything is organic actually everything is organic which is amazing you guys know I prioritize that and they actually have so many superfoods mixed in to their protein powder so you can see strawberry cranberry biralina broccoli spinach like there is vegetables in the protein powder mixed in so it's like a superfood plus a protein powder for each scoop it has 21 grams of protein which is really good for plant-based protein but I'm gonna try the banana they sent me mocha salty caramel and banana and banana cream looks so good so we're gonna try here and yeah thank you so much to good protein this isn't sponsored but I have a feeling I'm gonna really really like it I already like the ingredients and everything so let's try it out all right let's give her a taste test wow this literally tastes like a banana milkshake I'm not even kidding you 10 out of 10 this is so yummy so let's talk friendships for a bit here because I have never really openly opened up about this before so I still remember scrolling Instagram a couple months ago and I just like had this thought and I'm like a lot of my friendships they feel fake they feel one-sided I'm the only one given the effort here but I didn't know what to do with that I would constantly try to maintain a relationship with some people be there when they needed me but like that was never really reciprocated the thing is is I felt like I have done so much growing and through this process I've lost a lot of friends in my life that has led me to feel a lot of guilt and shame and lower my self-esteem a bit because I'm like is there something wrong with me why is this happening the thing is is sometimes friendships just run their course and it's natural for you guys to grow apart but sometimes it could be just like super super hard to deal with when you don't have closure and like that's always been an issue in my life it's like I don't know when to walk away and I feel super guilty doing that and I feel guilty not doing it and that's when I realized I can really really benefit from talking to somebody outside of my situation an unbiased therapist who can help me navigate my feelings and just figure out the healthiest path for me to move forward if you guys have ever struggled with friendship breakup a real breakup or just feel confused about where you stand with somebody like I have in the past I highly recommend checking out better health they're actually sponsoring today's video they match you with a

have caring and reciprocated friendships in your life so anyways visit my link and I love you guys you guys in my workout class I couldn't even do all the movements because there's something wrong with like my pelvic bone or my hips maybe I don't really know but like over here like inside my side here and also on this side but it's worse worse on my left I've always noticed that doing certain exercises it like pops and it kind of just a really uncomfortable feeling but today you guys we were doing like I'm gonna show you on this side we were doing like this with the weight and I can't even do it on this side because it kept popping and I was like oh my gosh like it hurts so bad it's so uncomfortable so I feel like I should maybe go to the doctor or something so I can get like a referral try to go somewhere I don't know what would do that like a chiropractor I feel like a chiro for your back I don't know but somewhere where I can go like physiotherapy that they can help me realign my hips or something or my pelvic bone I don't even know when I walk I'm not in pain I'm totally fine it's just like doing certain movements like this like if I were to go all the way it just like pops and it's so uncomfortable but anyways let me know if you guys know anything about this what it could be in the comments and if you ever experienced the same thing on a brighter note these are my favorite workouts that's literally ever this is the tna eritzia butterline that is my favorite material if you go on their website and filter by material and click the butter this is my favorite and luckily I actually got these two from the eritzia warehouse tail so I got them for super cheap and I really really want to buy more workout sets from them because they're my favorite but they're all sold out like their whole butter line I swear is basically sold out in every single color that I would want and so I don't know when they're ever going to come back and stop but they just really don't have anything in store online for this material which sucks but if you guys ever could get your hands on some eritzia butter material do it because it's literally my favorite workout clothes ever it's so comfortable to work out and so breathable but anyways that is a little just in tea of the day I feel like I've been like really repetitive with my workout sets which is fine but it's like really nice to spice up your workout sets and gonna get new ones so hopefully they get new ones soon because they're just my favorite especially in the infrared heat I only like certain materials and I will only wear this so anyways okay I'm gonna go shower and get ready for the day so I just showered and I'm ready to leave but I wanted to show you my little outfit so you guys helped me wear the set in the last video but top and pants are from garage and I'm obsessed I've been wearing these like every single day and I love them so much it's just such a comfy little set then I have this jacket from Princess Polly on I just have my black purse on and then I'm just wearing this hat that I got from eritzia I love myself a good hat when my hair is just not cooperating moment so this is my little outfit it's a really weird weather today it's like raining but it's also kind of warm so I feel like this is a good medium in between not being too hot and also when I'm grocery shopping I don't like to be too bundled up because I get super hot obviously in the store so this is a good layering situation where I just have my jacket underneath and I can still breathe you know anyways just wanted to show you guys my outfit before I leave the house so I'll talk to you guys in the car we're just going for my little weekly grocery run just got to the grocery store I don't know if you guys can hear but it is pouring rain but anyways before I left the house I actually pre-wrote my grocery list so I don't have to do it right now which is nice I'm planning on doing taco bowls this week and then white chicken chili and I'm pretty sure those two dinners are gonna last I'm gonna make them really big so we can have leftovers if you guys want to cut down your cooking time like what I realized is that I spent so much time cooking and cleaning every single day and then I realized if I just make the portions bigger and every single time I make a meal if I make it to feed like a family then we can have leftovers for the next day or possibly two days which is so much nicer than having to like make a meal from scratch every single day so that's like a little life hack that I've learned along the way of living alone with Joel it's not necessarily meal prepping but it's more so just making your meals big so that you set yourself up with leftovers so that you're not cooking every single day and it has saved me so much time I was just thinking of this the other day and I was like wow cooking and cleaning take a big portion of my day if by some reason skip breakfast one day I realize I have like a now we're extra in my day like the day feels so much longer just like making breakfast depends on what I make can take like 15 minutes maybe half an hour and then eating it and then the cleanup time like that is a full hour basically that's why I don't really have lunch often because I always fill up on a big big breakfast and then I'm not really hungry for lunch but I'll always have like a midday snack that requires no dishes because you guys I don't know if you can relate if you live on your own you probably can but the time and the effort that goes into cooking and making meals for yourself takes honestly like so long like that's why I empathize with stay at home moms who have to take care of the kids or stay at home dads who have to cook who have to clean who have to do everything that is a full-time job in itself like I could see how that is literally a 24 hour around the clock job people don't get enough credit for that and I was thinking if I had like money to blow if I was just like super super rich I would totally get a private chef like that's something that I feel like is totally worth the investment and I totally understand why celebrities have private chefs because the time and the amount of energy and just like the dishes it takes to cook like you feel like you're constantly just like making the kitchen a mess and then cleaning in like it's repeat especially for people who work like a nine to five who don't work from home it's like you have to do I feel like a lot of meal prepping for that or just like easy dinners in general so that's why I totally empathize and understand that it's impossible if you just don't have the time to eat healthy all the time because it takes so much effort you go pop into microwave dinner and have it ready in a minute with no dishes versus making an actual like dinner from scratch a healthy dinner obviously that's going to take like hours in comparison to like minutes anyways that was my little rant on that one thing I have to do today and that I'm setting my mind to doing is booking my car appointment because my cars need an oil change for like three weeks now or even longer I'm just looking at my next service day yep it's been like two months overdue like you're done when it comes to girly things like that is just like not at the top of my head I absolutely hate car problems I hate having to maintain my car out of sight out of mind for me you know what I mean when you have those girly things where you're just like out of sight out of mind you know I just need to get it done I just need to book it like why have I been procrastinating it I don't know it's just because I just hate it I literally hate that and that's the thing with productivity too is like I am a procrastinator in my nature like I am a genetic procrastinator I was just watching this tiktok the other day and I think I actually posted it on my account but the girl was basically saying if you need to do something do it in this moment now if you could do it right now do it instead of putting it off it's like oh I need to book my car appointment why did I not just book it in that moment that I needed to book it in why did I say oh I'll do it later because it's just going to get pushed and pushed and pushed getting things done right away without procrastinating them is just so much better and I need to focus on doing that more often because you just feel so much more productive you feel like there's not this huge weight on your shoulders constantly of oh my god I need to do this I have to do that it's like just do it in the moment that it needs to be done and then you're not going to have this huge list of stuff that you need to do because you're just getting it done as they come in you know and I am just I need to start doing that because I'm horrible at that where I'll just put something off for the longest time and then I'll just be working under pressure like I'll just do it because there's so much pressure and that'll force me to do it but it's like no if I can do things in advance like that saves me so much stress and so much energy but that's something in 2024 that I definitely want to do again and make it a habit to just okay I need a book with supplement I'm gonna do it literally right now five the time and if not whenever I have the next open slot of time I'm gonna get it done right then in there anyways okay let's go grocery shopping even though I just feel like cuddling up in my bed today because the weather is just I can't wait for someone okay let's go a little overview grocery haul quickly here I got some green field no antibiotic bacon I got two we love this bacon it's so good and then I just had to stock up on some garlic got some lettuce for the taco bowls that I'm gonna make tonight got some organic popcorn got some sparkling water and I got this huge thing of lemon juice because I've been running out so fast because I use it like every day in my sparkling water and I'm obsessed so I got a big big one so hopefully that'll last me a lot longer grass-fed ground beef some avocados some limes some carrots some raspberries I love to have like a berry in the fridge I got some raspberry lemonade kombucha that's my favorite flavor got some salsa some cream some sour cream some hummus chicken broth I got two things of chicken thighs for the soup that I'm gonna make some time this week or next week then got some beans for the soup as well some corn and then I got just a tomato in here these chips are so freaking good the only thing that I don't approve on them is that they have sunflower oil in them which is not the greatest but for a little snack and a treat these are really good for like the weekend they're so good they're like healthy doritos and then I just got two of these um organic corn chips for the taco salad and also to have with the white chicken chili soup so that is a little haul I'm just going to organize the fridge and put this all away okay guys about to assemble the taco bowls we got the tomato we got the lettuce we got the chips we got the corn and beans that's left over from last week so it's perfect use for this sour cream salsa and the meat I'm gonna put it all together and then I'll show you guys here she is oh oh my gosh doesn't look the prettiest I guess but once she's mixed together it's gonna taste so good that's the final little taco bowl I'm literally flopping everything um anyways I just wanted to show you guys I know I've said this before but let me tell you again kombucha in a wine glass with dinner is just superior I don't really drink wine or alcohol for that matter often at all but this makes me feel like I'm having a nice drink at the end of the day and having it in a wine glass just makes it that much better got my raspberry lemonade flavor I bought today put a few frozen strawberries in the glass as well and you have a little kombucha cocktail right here so good and it's super good for your gut because it's like fermented and everything but anyways cheers to the taco bowls I'm gonna go enjoy with Joel it just hits the spot every time cheers hey guys so I woke up a little bit later today it's about seven forty five right now I'm just about to leave the house for my workout I'm just going to the gym today but I just want to save you guys a little oh oh tea for the gym so I have these pink leggings on that are the butter lime from arizia and then I just have this workout it's like an online lululemon dupe I forget the brand and then I just got this long sleeve cover up thing from white fox that is a little gym outfit of the day I really don't feel like going to the gym today but we're gonna do it we're gonna get it done because half the time I don't feel like going so if I didn't go every time I didn't feel like going I would never work out so I'm gonna make an effort of going regardless and getting my movement in for the day because I know I feel a million times better after I do it and I really do think myself and I appreciate that I went so it's just a matter of actually going and just kind of going through the motions and then eventually you'll be done and you'll be really thankful that you did it so anyways let's get going before procrastinating more and let's go work out this is your motivation to work out even if you don't feel like it unless you're sick or down bad get some movement in even if it's just a walk I got home from the gym I just made this protein smoothie and I used the good protein mocha flavor and it's so freaking good I just put a banana in here with coconut milk and water and the protein powder and collagen anyway so today I'm just gonna shower and then Madison's coming because we're going to go shopping at Costco together and then I also just have a few random errands I want to stop at the mall and then I also need to stop at shoppers so we're just gonna be like running around town today together doing a couple errands so that's the plan for the beginning of the day so I've recently asked you guys on my youtube and my community tab if you didn't see it I asked you guys if you prefer longer videos once a week or shorter videos twice a week and I was actually pretty shocked to see the results because on my long videos I get really good feedback and you guys like them in the comment section but on my community tab 68% of you guys voted shorter vlogs twice a week and 32% of you guys voted longer vlogs once a week so the vast majority voted shorter vlogs twice a week I think I might start doing that as kind of an experiment to see like what happens if it helps me grow a little bit just because I've been looking for ways where I can really like amp things up and grow my channel because I feel like I've just been stagnant for a while and I went through a big growth spurt within the past couple months but now I'm kind of just like stagnant again what I've learned is like growing on youtube growing on any social media platform if you just do the same things over and over and over from my experience like I don't see huge growth I need to like switch things up and so I think I'm gonna start posting on Wednesdays and Sundays and I'm gonna try to make the videos as long as possible but we'll see how that all works out and I'll keep you guys updated I mean I may not like it and I'll switch back to just doing one long video per week but I feel like 2 is kind of the best of both worlds so you're still getting the same amount of content for me it's just kind of spread out so instead of just watching a 50 minute vlog you can watch 2 vlogs back to back you know basically at the end of the day it really is the same thing but hopefully posting twice a week I could get on youtube's good side and her algorithm again and that'll help with my engagement and new people finding my channel we'll see I'm always down to try new things to just experiment especially when I'm not on the good side of youtube's algorithm because I go through phases where it's like I'm doing good and then it's like back to normal and then it's just up and down it's been like this for the past like every single year I've been doing youtube but anyway so that's like the consensus that's the verdict I kind of came to so I expect 2 videos a week I'll make them as long as possible but we'll see how long without last if I like it who knows what's gonna happen but that's the T and I'm really happy I posted that poll on my community tab I feel like I'm gonna do more polls on there so watch out for my little posts on there because I feel like it's such a good way to engage with you guys and just ask you questions that I want answers to at the end of the day you guys are my community and I want to engage with you guys and talk with you guys as much as possible and I feel like yeah I've never really thought of posting on there but I'm really glad I did so that's the T little outfit of the day I'm wearing this leather jacket from Princess Pauly it's linked in my how to be motivated as a lazy girl video and then this crew neck is from earthsia then these pants are the ones that I got from garage obsessed and then I'm just wearing this purse that is thrifted and then these sunnies from princess Pauly linked in the same video but just like I'm very comfortable but put together outfit and I just put my hair up in a bun because it is like greasy and I don't know what to do with it so that's the fit I also love wearing a nice sweatsuit with my hair up just so it's like out of the way and I feel like I can do things you know I'm gonna be leaving soon I'm just waiting for Madison and then gonna be heading out of the house Costco core they sucked me in guys I got my card today she got her executive membership I put her on my fan plan oh yeah and they sucked me into getting a Costco credit card because every time I come here I need to use my debit and it's getting kind of annoying because I never use my debit I always use credit cards because it's good to build that credit and so I got my Costco credit card now I got like a basically a temporary one the official ones being mailed in the mail but I feel like it's financially a good move to get another credit card to shop at Costco because they don't accept visa here so I need to use my debit all the time and my debit card also has a limit on it so it gets annoying but anyways that's the tea Costco's chaotic as always just go back from Costco you guys and this is so unexpected but I wanted to like check the aisles because I was like I don't really know what I need like I just rather go through the aisles and then I can like pick what I need and want whatever and so I never go in like the appliance aisle because like what's the point but like we just started there and I'm so happy we did everything it's meant to be because Joel and I have like a blender a big one and it's like really annoying to take out you guys seeing the blender earlier this week but it's really annoying to take out that big blender for just like one protein shake or one smoothie that's like for personal use like that blender is good if you're making something bigger or blending up a soup or something but I feel like the size goes to waste when I'm just making like a little smoothie there's like no point of like dirtying that because it's also like a paint in the butt to clean and I always procrastinate cleaning it but I stumbled upon this blender at Costco I've never even heard of the brand but I feel like I've seen it before and look how aesthetic it is like it's gonna look so good for my videos and just like in general but it has a really good power I was reading up on it it's so cute and it comes with two drink carrying cups as you can see so these go directly on the blade it's like a new triple it so goes directly on the blade and then you can put on the drinking caps so you could drink your smoothie right out of these cups and you don't even need a dirty glass or anything which is so nice and now I just feel like it'll be so much more convenient to make smoothies and stuff and protein shakes after the gym just because it's like a one and go and it's super easy to clean so I'm really happy about that also the original price at Costco was $200 and I had to get it so it was on sale for $100 $99 and 97 cents and I'm like okay I can't not get this and Costco also has super good returns so if I use it and don't like it they'll definitely take it back but I'm sure I'll love it I was looking at the prices online and if you bought it like on their website it's so much more expensive so I got a steal at Costco I'm surprised they're not all gone but I'm so happy I got my hands on it but anyways so I did get a couple other things I'll give you guys a little Costco haul other than that right now but I'm happy we were there for like two hours because it took an hour for us to and I was signing up for my credit card and then they both got memberships like I said but I also got a new credit card today so that's a sleigh um but yeah anyways so let me show you guys a little haul so I just got some gluten-free bread this is nice just to keep in the freezer in case I ever need a piece of bread like if we have no dinner or something I don't really have this often but just for that time when it's like an emergency and then I got some more organic coffee got some tuna because really good protein got some smart sweets some eggs some almonds for my milk that I make and then I wanted to try these hemp seeds because for three tablespoons you guys it's 10 grams of protein and apparently there's lots of omega 3 in here and just like good stuff so I'm definitely going to be adding some hemp seeds to my smoothies every morning I just feel like it's a good addition also the protein is amazing and then I just got this pack of Celsiuses I don't really drink these often not too into any energy drinks but I know Joel really loves them so they'll just be good to have for whenever and if I ever want one too but that is the little haul hey guys so I'm just currently editing my vlog from this morning I've been trying to upload like a youtube short and a tiktok every single weekday as much as I can because I really just want to try to grow my short form platforms because I feel like I focus so much time and attention on my youtube for like the longest time and youtube is my bread and butter like youtube is my baby I prefer long form content over short form any day but the reality of the matter is that short form is pumping with everybody else short form is really popping off and if that can help people find my youtube channel then I'm gonna take any advantage I can and like if my youtube short can lead somebody to click on my actual youtube video and like watch my long form videos and like that's ideal so it's like I even got a comment on my youtube once they found me off of my tiktok which is crazy to me because I feel like I don't really take tiktok that seriously at all like I just post my morning vlogs on there and then like just random stuff so like the fact that somebody found me and subscribed to my youtube and watched my videos from tiktok just kind of shows me that I should be kind of promoting myself on other platforms but the main goal is really to make that all funnel back into my youtube channel because that is like what I love doing the most that's where I started that's where I put all my energy into and like I will never stop youtube as far as the future goes and I feel like I've come a really long way doing youtube and stuff I feel like this goes for any really social media platform but creating content it's like your revenue is directly correlated to your views to your engagement to your community and basically how many eyes are on you and so sometimes it's really hard not to like get wrapped up in that world and be so hyper focused on your analytics and how your videos are doing it's really really hard because I would notice that I would post a video in youtube analytics literally they rank the videos on like your most recent 10 videos it ranks them and it shows you how your most recent videos performing against your other most recent 10 videos and when that number is like at the bottom like if your videos performing the worst obviously doesn't feel good and then it makes you worry and then you go down a spiral but then it does the opposite when my video is doing like one out of 10 or two out of 10 like it's doing really well it makes me happy and then the other way around it makes me like sad so it's like I can't let that actually fluctuate my real life emotions and that just means that I'm too like tied to that and I feel like over the past few weeks I've done like a really good job at kind of letting that go and just putting my videos out there and whatever the heck happened happened this also ties back into really just not worrying about things that are not in your control once I put the video out there as long as I did the video to my best of my abilities and I'm proud of it and you know I didn't slack off in that video and I know what's up a good video then that is now as soon as it's posted the way that it does is completely out of my control so me sitting here and pouting that it's not doing as well as like the next video is just like not good and it's kind of toxic and I was talking to my friend Erin and she also does youtube and she was telling me the same thing how she's addicted to checking her analytics and it affects her mood whether a video does well or not well and I feel like a lot of people in the content creation space could feel this way I feel like it's just like this toxic mentality that I need to let go of and I've done like actually a really really really good job at not caring recently and I've always so like business minded where I'm always like okay what's going to do the best what's going to make me the most money but I've really relaxed within these past couple months and I've been like I'm just going to post what I want to post obviously like I'm going to have some sort of a strategy in a content plan because I still want to maximize you know my opportunities and everything and I still want my channel to grow but at the same time it's like having a balance between that and also having a balance between like not worrying about what's not in your control and I always like worry about the stupidest things like I'm worrying about taxes right now just like some stuff that I need to get done that's I'm really procrastinating mostly all about taxes at the end of the day when it comes down to it our life isn't worth worrying away I just heard this really tragic story of this girl that I know of in my hometown a couple girls passed away from a car accident and that is just like the saddest thing ever it just really puts things into perspective for me that your life and the things around you could be taken away at any second you really need to live in the moment like as cheesy as it sounds and as hard as it can be sometimes worrying about things that are not in your control worrying about things like taxes is so stupid in the grand scheme of things because that really does not matter at all what matters is that you're living your life to the fullest that you're the happiest you can be and that is what life is all about it really does put things into perspective for you when something like tragic happens like that and so it's really made me think over the past day or so and I'm like damn I have to be just honestly just so grateful that I'm healthy I'm alive I'm living my best life and at the end of the day worrying about taxes worrying about my stupid youtube analytic it doesn't matter because at the end of the day everything happens for a reason everything is meant to be and so whatever you're worrying about in your life just know that it's all going to be okay everything happens the way it's supposed to everything is going to lead you to where it's supposed to be and all that matters is that you're happy also it's just so important to live your life regardless of other people's opinions that's something that I feel like a lot of people revolve their life around is what people think of them and they don't do certain things because they're scared of being judged like I said this life could be ripped away from us at any second and it's such a scary thought but it's true use that as your motivation to not care to just do whatever you want to live the life you want to live because at the end of the day we're all going to be gone one day and all that's going to be left is the memory of how you lived your life you don't want to spend your life stressing away and worrying away about things that are not real like money isn't real nothing is real at the end of the day so anyways I didn't mean to take it that deep but I've been thinking about that lately I've just been extra grateful for everything in my life and I've just been not really caring about you know the little things that are out of my control because I used to hyper fixate on that and then it would be like mentally taxing for no reason and so yeah oh my gosh guys I look at the clock right now and it's 4 4 4 so that's a sign right there that is a sign though anyways I'm gonna continue editing this go follow my TikTok if you don't because I post like daily vlogs on there and also check out my youtube shorts I'm gonna edit talk to you guys later good morning you guys I'm currently just putting away the dishes I kind of woke up a little bit earlier today so I'm kind of in a rush but I have a mat class today which is exciting my favorite class I'm honestly so happy that it's Friday though I am so tired I can't much just sleep in this weekend and just relax I feel like I really for some reason worked out hard this week and so she looked at my hip and I'm gonna go easy on my class today like if I can't do some movements because of it like I'm not going to not gonna push my body too hard but I feel just like very worked out this week I feel like I need a nice break and my butt is so sore from yesterday's gym session which is a good thing but after this Pilates class this morning we're gonna rest up we're resting up for the weekend also I did stay up a bit later last night I needed to move some money around for tax purposes into my rsp account and I literally left it till the last minute and I saw the deadline was 10 30 EST so like three hours ahead a different time zone online and then I looked below and it said you could call to do it until midnight my time so I'm like oh my god thank god like this is my lesson life lesson to stop leaving things for the last minute like seriously it's so bad so anyways I called last then last night and I got in touch like I feel like it was almost because I'm gonna talk to like the sweetest lady and she really was just like so financially invested in me and she was just so excited for me it was so cute and anyways I just like talked to her for over an hour on the phone so I lost some sleep that for sure but it was like worth the chat with her because she was so cute just with that phone call with her she taught me a lot so it was a really good phone call but anyways that being said I'm tired this morning so happy Friday happy Friday everybody this is your sign to keep motivated throughout the week because once Friday comes it's just
