controversial comments little
controversial
the message was positives yeah if you

we'll put that in the link below we also
filmed what we ate today which is going
to go up on Kate's channel and yeah do
you want to just give like a little
intro of what you have on your YouTube
channel what you're all about is were
I'm Kate flowers on YouTube and Kate
fruit flowers almost everywhere else I
talk a lot about food and being vegan
being raw vegan I do tons of what I eat
in a day videos because people really
like to see them so I just keep making
them I talk about my history with
anorexia I talk about my history with
drug use I talked about sobriety I talk
about LGBT lgbtq+ community and also I'm
a ballet dancer so I talk about that and
being like a vegan raw vegan athlete
she's basically like a bundle if you
aren't already subscribed to gate
channel definitely go do that we'll put
the link in the description so today we
want to talk to you about how to be a
free spirit and we're gonna jump right
into it without hesitation yeah
tip number one define what being a free
spirit means to you yeah because we
don't all have the definition same
definition of anything we don't all have
the same definition of what being
successful is what being beautiful is or
any of that so define what a free spirit
means for you personally individually
it's not going to be the same as what we
think it means for us but do you want to
talk a little bit about like what it
means Preston yeah I think that like
it's this great idea and I remember
being younger like 15 16 17 18 years old
and like posting things on MySpace or
Facebook that were like free spirit and
I just wanted so badly to body that I
like felt like I was a free spirit
trapped inside of a non free spirit body
or mentality or emotional state or
whatever but I always resonated with the
idea of it I think the main thing that
keeps coming to my mind which is gonna
sound a little strange is confidence
because and you have this sense of who
you are it really
comes through and everything that you do
in life how you interact with people how
your thought process how you manifest
things into your life the kind of
abundance that you bring into your life
all comes from feeling like you own it
you're secure in it you
yeah and so to me it kind of means
having that inner sense of self and
confidence and self-worth like not
having the fear of judgment of the
people right because you're so darn
confident in exactly anything and
everything that you're doing so for me
being a free spirit definitely embodies
a lot of the things that came just
mentioned about having that like boost
of self-esteem self-confidence like self
assurance within yourself and also to be
free of like health problems to be free
of shippable ailments to be free of
those mind traps that we could have set
ourselves into flow with being fearful
being doubtful shaming ourselves feeling
guilty like all of that stuff just pulls
you down and read you down and keeps you
like locked in this little cage and to
be free of all of that so all the stuff
that keeps that plus to be healthy to be
healthy in your body both physically
mentally emotionally all of that stuff
and also financially yeah that's
something that I feel like I was never
taught as a child like not for my
parents not from teachers so basically
what that means to me is not having a
limit on the things that I can earn in
life because I feel like with a
traditional job there's there's a limit
on how much you get earned you can only
get so many raises and only earn that
much money so there's a
but for me being an entrepreneur and for
us being entrepreneurs means that
there's no limit like the more love and
passion and energy and time that we put
into network whatever it is passion
project and more financial abundance we
can create yeah I mean I think that the
main thing is that so many people are
worried about and stressed out about
finances and money and they put at
emphasis on it and all that does is it
perpetuates the issue more it doesn't
bring you more abundance or any more
money and when you have more of the
financial freedom I think that that
aspect is so important it just allows
you to be more free-spirited you get to
do more of what you love you get to have
that sense of yeah that funds of being a
free spirit and you don't have to say no
to things as you wish without having
that limited like wait okay so with the
camera died so we're filming new device
a little different yeah tip number two
what is it the little things yeah the
little things means incorporate things
into your life every single day make it
a ritual make it a habit that you do
things every day that make you feel a
little bit free for me that might be
driving around with the windows down and
the wind blowing in my face and
listening to my favorite song and that
could just take five minutes and it
doesn't have to be that you spend your
whole day doing things that make you
feel free but incorporate little things
that do
yeah it doesn't have to be something
massive like moving to a new place yeah
quit your job and try and start over
completely because you wouldn't be a
free spirit and do it yeah and look
that's a great idea baby steps but baby
steps
yeah and one thing for me is I love to
have bare feet makes me feel super free
and not shaving my armpits also makes me
feel free like not having to fit into
those societal norms so kind of just
like honoring myself in those ways oh
yeah another little thing that I like to
very often that makes me feel through
you spirited like whenever I'm happy I'm
just like always making some sort of
sound and sometimes it's like well it's
always just like a sound tonight come up
with Addison's always like babe what are
you singing or like what are you humming
and I'm like I don't know like the song
of my heart like I just feel so free and
happy
so expressing myself definitely makes me
feel free to find what it is for you it
could be hugging a tree going for a walk
in the woods it could be meditating
dancing singing drawing journaling
whatever it is find those little things
and incorporate them every day don't
just do them every once in a while make
sure you spend five or ten minutes at
least every single day doing that
eventually these things will add up and
they'll feel more comfortable and
natural for you and one day you'll look
back and be like wow six months ago I
was a totally different person yeah and
a year ago and five years ago so taking
those little tiny action steps and doing
things that make you feel good and make
you feel free spirited and light and
just like open to the world and loving
those things will all add up yeah and
you can start doing a little bit of
bigger things and it's kind of step your
way up or just be satisfied with those
little yeah to your life it definitely
over time makes you the more you feel it
the more you will embody it and then
more that it will become your life you
just have to trust that process and it's
not gonna change overnight you're not
gonna go from you know working a job
that's something you don't like or being
in school all the time we're feeling
totally trapped in on you're free to
being a free spirit the next day but
incorporating those little things will
definitely help and don't get
discouraged
like looking at where you are now where
other people are just focus on yourself
and taking those
then what the reading is to let go
totally letting go of the things that
are keeping you and preventing you from
feeling free so what's something little
I have a big one not a little addictive
habits so I I quit doing like seriously
hard drugs like ten years ago I quit and
then I still held on to like smoking
cigarettes even alcohol for a really
really
and then two years ago I put both of
those things and letting go of those
even though I thought it was kind of
still there's a normal than they do for
me personally letting go of those things
completely completely change if you
watched our other video if you guys hear
this craziness in the background they're
singing and dancing a little kids
playing so please bear with us just a
couple more minutes of what we have to
share with you today
so what little thing that I let go of in
my life that I felt like was preventing
me from feeling free was answering text
messages like as soon as I send them for
answering test text messages like period
so I used to feel so stressed and like
tied down to my poems and answering
individuals when they were text week and
I kind of just like let go of that make
me feel good it made me feel like
anxious hundun um so now I answer texts
when I feel like
filled with joy I'm like excited to
answer a text and that might mean like
hours go by before I enter it or days go
by or months go by and that I explained
like hey this is what was happening in
my life but I'm so excited to like catch
up with you now and that feels really
freeing to me do not feel those like
ties you'll do people cuz it's so much
more at ease in my experience more
authentic to connect with people when I
feel totally ready and stove's to me
yeah absolutely so it can be something
big or something little anywhere in
between once you start incorporating
more things that you feel free and you
feel like you're ready to let go of
certain things you'll know you'll have
this sense of what it is and whether
it's something big like letting go of an
addiction or a relationship or a job or
it's something small that just you'd
you're doing because you feel obligated
like over you said rather than when
you're doing these sites you really want
to when you're a free spirit you don't
do
so that's a people in for sure yeah
and again just like the previous step it
takes time and everything can add up and
then you look back and you're like wow
there was little tiny adjustments we
allowed me to feel absolutely I have
that I didn't I didn't even really know
it was happening while it was happening
in - I like the retrospective like wow
I'm a different person so it's exciting
and I want you to be a pree spirit I
want you to feel what that feels like
because it's completely liberating and
we all are inside so don't get
discouraged just take the little steps
that will get you there and trust
yourself trust your intuition with those
feelings that come up something or
adding something new into your life and
we wish you the best and we'll see you
in a new video together in the future
eventually I hope that you enjoyed our
talk today I hope you enjoyed Kate's
