Myth: breaks are unproductive.

When done right, breaks are one of the most productive things you can do because it helps you *sharpen the saw*! My past videos discussed this concept - it’s where a restful and deserved break can recharge you and make you work even more efficiently later.

At home, I loved taking breaks by going on a walk with my family or playing with my Shiba, Roxy 💖 What’s your favorite way of taking a break? 🤔

P.S. Speaking of breaks to recharge, no video this week because I’m busy playing with Shiba Inus in Japan! See you next week, A-Team 🧡, Amy

If you're ever struggling with peer pressure or are doubting yourself because of unkind words from someone else, just remember this:

"You’ll never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you. You’ll always be criticized by someone doing less. Remember that." - Denzel Washington

Trust and believe in your own values so your peers' ridicule or them acting out of alignment with what you want will just be background noise. Competence leads to confidence, so over time, you will learn to place your judgment as higher priority.


P.S. If you like posts like this, you’ll love the confidence-boosting stories and tips I discuss in my podcast Your A+ Life. I cover the key to constant motivation and discipline, loving yourself, and more 🧡 link in my bio!

The thing that scared me most with back to school wasn’t the homework nor the tests… it was taking yearbook photos. Happy to say that I’ve come a long way with my confidence! :D

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR 400K! 🧡🎉 I can't believe our A-Team has grown so much, both in numbers and in our personal human capital - all through hard work, self-love, resilience, and dedication. I hope that this milestone and our community are indicators of how fruitful these values are ✨

New profile pic who dis 👀 Last slide pays homage to Caltech senior year me (my previous profile pic) who carried me through this YouTube and new grad journey this far. I’ve evolved a lot since then, and I am excited to continue growing with my lovely A-Team community, you! 🌱

Coincidentally, my old profile picture also relates to the yearbook photo. I love flowers and the strength, love, and beauty they represent. I appreciate the beauty that determined buds bloom into. Each flower is different, but beautiful in their own way. With my love of flowers and authenticity in mind, I picked these words as my senior year yearbook quote: “Normality is a paved road; it’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers will grow.” ~Vincent Van Gogh 🌸

Do you find it hard to pay attention in class? 🤔

Hm, but do you also:
- Put YouTube videos on >1x speed
- Find it hard to sit through a movie without pulling your phone out
- Need many cuts and animations edited to watch videos

These things seem different from sitting in class, but they're actually all too similar.

The thing is, you cannot speed up your teacher, you cannot have little bubbles popping up next to your teacher, and you cannot have fancy cinematography in class like in movies.

If you can't get in the habit of focusing while trying to absorb *interesting* content, how in the world can you absorb your *more boring* teacher? You are constantly training yourself to make it harder and harder to sit through lecture, to lock in during exams, and, ultimately, to live life to the fullest in the present.

Haters might say putting videos on 1x speed helps my engagement. Sure - that's a side effect, but it's still a minimal impact compared to the effect of my dedication to helping my audience. I wouldn't spend hours and days and months of deep reflection on each video if my quality messages could just be overwritten by a little suggestion of 1x speed! XD

If you're reading this, I know you're discerning about what content is actually genuine and beneficial to you. After all, that's why I do not say "follow me on Instagram!" and encourage you to delete the app completely instead :D In fact, I encourage you to spend less time on screens as a whole and go out there to implement my advice and live your best life. Though of course, I'll miss you since the only way I get to talk to you is through a screen :p

Much love as always, A-Team 🧡

You know why it's so hard to do self-improvement? 😪 It's because the word "improvement" implies that you're not good enough.

My ✨ Golden Mindset ✨ to self-improvement:

Replace the word "improvement" with "love." Instead of self-improvement, it's really self-love.

Because when you LOVE yourself so much, why *wouldn't* you do things that are good for you? 💖

I've been absolutely FLOORED by your comments and words of support to each other. Through your messages, I can tell that you're so determined and meant to achieve great things 🔥

Please believe that you already have it in you because I believe you have it in you. You ARE good enough and you DO have potential, which is why I work so hard on my videos to make you see that. Only when you see the greatness within yourself already, will it be easier and more enjoyable to make your dreams come true.

Just want to say thanks so so much for your support and love in our YouTube community and on my new podcast Your A+ Life. I'm so happy there are so many of you on the A-Team now; the only downside is that I cannot respond to you all! I seriously wish I could duplicate myself to show how much each of your messages means to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting my messages be heard. Let's keep spreading positivity ✨

LOVE YOU 🧡 *finger hearts*

Buttt, I do have a special video with my dad out on my second channel that you can watch! 🥰 link in comments!

He talks about how to work hard even when you’re struggling, how to make the right friends, and what to do when you’re feeling down. Let me know what you think!

Oh, and also I visited Amsterdam! What a beautiful city 😍
