  • In my mind, I am visualizing you naked, on my boat, in a tropical pardise, rubing suntan oil over each other drinking champagne.

  • My definition of being a live is running around with my kids, having a garden, loving life of happiness, join and learning

  • I like Natalie but she's much better off talking about nutrition. Anger has a source and it's intelligent to decode and release the energy of the source. Beating up a bag or punching a wall only promotes more anger next time. So many things in this world are upside down and consequently it's hard for many to understand just HOW potent is meditation and knowing thyself through quieting your mind in eradicating anger, sadness, darkness and misery. I meditate and it promotes good stuff in my life. 

  • I'd never thought about the etymology of the word "emotion" it comes from the Latin prefix 'e-' and the Latin word 'movere', combined to form 'emovere', which literally means "outward movement".

  • Suk me

  • Wow! You just made my day!

  • The best way to combat stress is sport, running , ciclyng, gim, walk, every day you try

  • LOVE you!

  • subtitles?? i am deaf!

  • @minnaisland What is your mental image of somebody who is ALIVE ? She wants to make a point, if you think about someone being in motion, being active well, that 's what life is, it's action.. not a person stuffing potato chips slumped on couch. Death is no motion. Life is motion. animals in stress play dead or run. she goes on alot. it comes down to GET ACTIVE to release stress, tension. redirect negative urges into positive output

  • Alive to me is seeing everyone i care and love. Feeling great when i see them!!. When they are happy,I'm happy. But as soon as someone feels down, you're down. But at that moment, even for a second you feel happy...you're alive!!

  • LOVE YOUR IDEAS N We make life a living.

  • .... you explained me there!! i have had trouble with stress past few years, ive argued and physicsally exploded and broke things, turnd to alcohol or drugs,,,, all because of stress...... i have learned throught personal expierience that if i just sit and try to think my stress out,, then it just gets worse!!!! i have to move or i explode, kinda like the hulk sometimes, raging aggressive explosions, especially if i drank alcohol, im more mellow these days and use a punchbag if i feel tht way

  • Having stress is just an illusion, i've also been there. What pulled me out of the misery was just 'opening my eyes'. I learned the things that they don't show on TV. I now started changingproject(.)com which is a free video information archive. People should ask themself where the depression comes from, it's all about our mind and science already revealed that everything is connected to eachother and that we create reality by thinking,thoughts with powerful emotions become reality.Do research

  • I feel most alive when i stub my toe, or get kicked in the nuts, all that pain just wakes me up

  • hi...Natalie,,,, I love your videos :)

  • Any way I can help SVT naturally? anyone?

  • she is sexy :) 

  • Girl you are too good. I love your videos and presentation. Its so relaxing listening to you. Great work!!! Keep it up.

  • Umm when I visualize a person who is experiencing being alive, I feel they have a connection with the Earth. I can see a person swimming across a calm lake during a summer sunset, or sleeping under the stars. Never lose your spirit

  • Thank you so much! I love your videos, they've helped me a lot! I've been dealing with a lot of stress lately and when I get stressed I don't eat w/o forcing myself. Watching your videos has inspired me to start eating better and to keep moving. Thanks again!!

  • Thank you so much. This is exactly what i needed. You rocked it girl. The way you is talk is so attractive. Plus the background music is a mind relaxing. You made my day honey :)... Keep on going...

  • thank you very much

  • I'd like for you to keep making these Videos. So instructive.

  • Zombies: THE DEAD! THEY'RE ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!

  • what if i spent hours online in the computer by searching for something fun that makes me laugh , socializing and also searching for something to think about..can i call that life? cause i think i'm socializing..just lack of motion..;ppp

  • energetic, not tiered, feels like they can do anything.

  • Inspiring. Thank you.

  • The problem is if you're under constant stress, you cant just work or do a sports activity & expect relief...

    why... because if once that work or sport is over & u return to this environments of stress, you actually do further damage...

    those who are under this extreme stress (& who can not escape it), some moderate physical activity will be helpful, but you can not participate in strenuous activity on top of stress & then be faced with stress afterwards.

  • having good health, having full expressed emotions, meeting people who are interested in doing and learning new things

  • having good health, having full expressed emotions, meeting people who are interested in doing and learning new things

  • Life sucks and happiness eludes us, and what few moments of pleasure we get only show us how empty and meaningless the rest of our existance truly is

  • Being free and overcoming chalanges is what being alive means to me. "Chalanges are what makes life interesting... overcoming them is what makes life meaningfull", my teacher has always told to me. i still follow it to this day, along with the next quote "not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed untill it is faced"!!!

  • stress is fight or flight allright, explains why i want to fight and punch an kick the flying shit out of anybody that gives me stress

    a boss for example

    "hey do this", "hey do that", "hey hurry up" "hey finish this"

    BAM!

    TAKE THAT THIS AND THAT AND THAT AND THIS AND FUCK OFF MOTHERFUCKER!!

    >:{

    and no i dont give a shit about ur stupid company, ur stupid clients or ur ugly face!

  • I learn so much from your video's. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us and helping people live healthier happier lives.

  • Well... alive for me means: would you marry me? :-)

  • a growing plant

  • Love your video as it gave me a new perspective to gear my life towards a healthy motion.

    Thanks for sharing such a beautiful video, Natalie.

  • stress is when you breath through the mouth or feel urge to do it

  • urge,,,, as in how?

  • @runtubefantasy

    you need more air because your body accelerates in stress reaction so it tries to get air anyway possible

  • Thanks Natalie, that was wonderful!

  • where is the next part?

    the stress series is great but it's kinda difficult to follow because of the file names... there must be a next part.

  • stress is inevitable when thinking " how am i going to get money to pay for the bills"

  • alive is doing positive things

  • energetic, colourful, powerful, pozitive

  • Great video!!!

  • This is some of the best advice I've ever gotten. Life is motion! :) Thanks, Natalie.

  • Very cool:)

  • I don't think Buddhists have punching bags that they release their anger out on, because when they get stressed, they don't feel the need to release it out on something. In fact, that habit of releasing your anger on a punch bag can go far further. What happens when there isn't a punch bag at hand? That's when people become more violent. Not good advice.

  • when I think of the word [alive] i think...

    "why am i alive? this sucks. I wanna die in my sleep."

    zzz

  • I love her with all wittle hawrt :3

  • This really helped me a lot!!

    Vegetables and fruits, and some exercises really helped me reducing my anxiety and stress. So, thank you so much for making such great videos!!

    Your videos are really awesome!

  • I was actually upset before watching this video and it made me feel better. This vid. really does make a lot of sense. I remember a time during class when I got really angry at something and the next class I had was gym. When I ran on the treadmill for a bit I literally forgot why I was mad in the first place. The best part of that whole experience is that the anger didn't return. It just completely vanished through the exercise!

  • I love you... this is what Lennon and Yoko would want!!!

  • i think its all in your head...people are very diff

  • Hello Natalie, I just love your videos. I ve been directing myself to a healthy lifestyle on all levels and these videos have provided me with the necessary information about nutrition. Thank you so very much!!

  • my definition of alive was me i guess hiking or walking high on a mountain on a sunny summer day with fresh trees all around and im looking at the sunset but its still really sunny and at a cottage at the bottom on the hill Im on and I imagined a girl Im inlove with living there and just feeling contentment as i reached the top of that hill and took in that view. content AND ALIVE what are your peoples thoughts about being alive

  • Aww you're gonna be so many girls' ideal man right now. Haha. =)) What a cute image.

  • fight your fears

  • The way I take care of my stress is yoga, positive attitude, trust in God, and also....avoiding refined sugar. Refined sugar can weaken your endocrine system and screw with your adrenal glands, the source of stress.

    read Sugar Blues :)

  • I seen Two of your Vids So Far...

    Lots Of Gooood Advice Thanks!

  • Wow I've never thought about it that way. Thanks nat.

  • Very Nice..Its true. I wish that I did this more often and sooner in my life.

  • doing stuff active smiling energetic at peace

  • If you have that many problems, you should see a psycologist, not watch youtube videos!!!!

  • i tryed... to much to pay for... ...its like i have another "bill" to think about...  ...im F'd up emotionaly and psychology ...speakin of which ...im "high" right now ...but hey thanks for the advise

  • Happiness is the only goal on earth that all people without exception are seeking to attain. Believers and unbelievers alike seek to be happy, but each party is using different methods.

    However, only believers can achieve genuine happiness. All forms of happiness attained without a firm belief in God, the Almighty, are mere illusions.

  • true.

  • This is one of the wisest and helpful vids I have yet to see, all stars and thanks!

  • I imagined a smiling person jumping around in a forest or field with flowers or something like that =D

  • lol me too

  • marijuana derminates all stress at my end of days work

  • u mean terminates, dipshit?

  • To be Alive is to Be happy! :D

  • HAMED_hy thanks,i was in a deep strees i was thinking that im gonna die soon,it helped me when i put myself @first then everything eals

    and do the things that i always wanted to do :)

  • Watching your videos was time well spent! I learnt alot from you and so many people have. You should be so proud!

  • It meas to love and to feel loved, to appreciate things. Being alive means to learn and to be challenged.

  • Texas a Republic again. Free of the chains of Washington DC.

  • a girl skipping on a field full of flowers, the sun is shining above and stuff....lol!

  • i am taking this wonderful herbal supplement called Vilift, it's the best i've tried.

  • She is probably the most healthiest person alive!

    THANKS SO MUCH!!! Nat, you do an amazing thing!!!

  • fun experiences, sharing, love, pain, live , die

  • Nice video very good points on using the pent up energy to put into something constructive.

  • IF THE PULSE IS BEATING. LOL

  • Thank You Natalie,this video is really good...

  • If someone is truly alive, she will have a brightness in her eyes and a radiance about her visage (much like you, Natalie!) that reflects the inner health and beauty of her body and soul. =)

  • It is very clear for me. A person who is not lost in thought is alive. So the person looks extremely calm and has a certain depth in his eyes.

  • Wow, this video is really good.

    I deal with anxiety/panic attacks. Daily exercise really helps. Running helps, or even just taking your dog for a walk/jog. I also do yoga a couple times a week for stress relief.

  • this is so true... instead of taking a xanax or drinking a beer when you are stressed or anxious, it is so much healthier to go workout. The drugs will just make you worse when it wears off.

  • Thank You Natalie, wonderful, as always.

  • Someone who smiles, is happy and loving.

  • To me, a person who is alive first of all knows who they are and why they are here on this earth. He/she is also healthy, loves people and loves life, takes stress in stride, has a balance of work and relaxation, laughs appropriately, takes time to mingle with happy, encouraging, healthy people - but is also there to help/encourage others who are in need,

  • perfect

  • How does a paralysed person relieve their stress? One of my brothers is tetraplegic since an accident and basically he cannot get up and move. He watches dvds and listens to music a lot but I understand now more about what he must be going through your video. Maybe visualisation will help. I am stressed all the time but will take some of your advice. thanks.

  • "How does a paralysed person relieve their stress?" Meditation CDs or DVDs will be a nice thought. :-)

  • Thanx Ellen, never thought of that. I will look for someone for John to watch. He is about to go through another operation this wednesday. God willing all will be alright x

  • What if someone is stressed due to a cognitive process? For example, if someone is stressed because they believe that they are late to work when in actuality their clock is incorrect. They get to work and then realize it's daylight savings time. Their stress is then relieved because their false belief was corrected. The stress then was handled by correcting a false belief instead of running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

  • When something is dead isn't it still in motion? I mean say something is rotting on the ground, the process of rotting is when there are bugs eating the flesh, chemical reations happening in the carcass, etc. Also, doesn't the law of entropy state that evething is constantly in motion?

  • alive, breathing, smiling, with awareness of what is happening

  • that right. started 2 ride a bike to work everyday even in -15 C all year round. I tell everyone to ride if you want to feel great. I rode 3000 miles last year and it helped me when i was told i have cancer. they dont lie when the say to exercise and eat right. I was in such good condition that by my 4 month of chemo when i started 6 weeks 5 days a week radiation and chemo together I rode my bike to the dortors 25km one week and 50km the other. only 3 days of riding. Ride yourself to happieness!

  • Happy

  • bv21 excellent advice Natalie. Your a pleasure  to listen to.

  • *claps* hehe :D wow that was a great video. very much for the people who picture things in their mind. i'll make sure to watch more of your videos. did i say thanks? i don't think i did :S but thank you very much :D you're da bomb 0.-

  • Natalie is the perfect example

  • Natalie, you are so good just hearing your voice calms me ... you are a natural girl

  • Natalie, awesome job, this is one of the best videos Iv seen on Anxiety and stress management. The key to recovery from Anxiety is keeping the mind and body busy and you express this in so many ways in your video.

    5 Stars

    Thank you.

  • "You Know"

  • Somebody smiling, jumping and running on the meadow.

  • yes yes yes preach it sista this so true its my religion. i'd luv to marry a girl that talks like you (^_^)

  • You really hit it right on when you said without motion becomes emotion or stress.If I don't work out I become angry,frustrated,I fight with my wife become distance, but after a really good workout I can see clearer.You just helped me realize that.Thankyou you are right in everything you said and I plan on listing to more of things you have to say.

  • i imagine someone that is jumping, playing around, relaxed, with the one he loves and the perfect health

  • Well, I love it. But need more details about stress especially for us who worked during the night.

  • Alive, is having everything you want..

  • someone happy and smiling and running and playing.

  • Someone who is happy and bubbly, experiencing life, and living it to the very fullest.

  • active, smiling happy, experiencing life,

  • Alive is a well balanced mind.

  • Someone alive...this Lady, Natalie, especially with the shirt/dress she wears, the setting, the music, and the message.

  • My first instinct was someone in motion. But then I thought about it and, IMO an alive person is someone who is in sync with who they are. They have no inhibitions, and just go for what they want in life. They have a passion for life, and enjoy it moment to moment.

    Thanks for sharing all this great information. It's certainly given me a new perspective on things. :)

  • PASSION as well as the ability to not only feel things, but to percieve and to have the ability appreciate those things.

  • Alive=

    happiness

    to love

    being relaxed

  • free and joyful. :)

  • you sure are pretty so tomorrow I'll exercise a bit.

  • wellness, love, freedom, friendship, family...

  • A happy young girl in a dress running and dancing in a field of blowing grass!

  • I LOVE THE VIDEO!

  • activeness

  • Power, Love, Strength and Happiness.

  • i taught of rocky 3 were rocky and appolo are racing on the beach and rocky finaley beats em and there jumping around dancing in the sea water. ahhhh clasic.

  • I imagine being in the woods with the sun shining down on my face...or being at a rock concert when it starts pouring rain. Or driving down a mountain road or through the desert in a convertable. The most intimate and peacefull to the most crazey and sponteaneous moments are when I feal most alive:)

  • Life - I think first of all of knowing you are alive - sentient life. Active knowledge seeking to better life in general. Pushing oneself every so often to the limit in physical and mental activity.

  • I think of someone running through a field of daisies, doing cartwheels, enjoying nature and being thankful that they're alive. No worries, or cares in the world. Laughing, smiling and looking at the sun and world as it is. Not looking for anything to make them happy, but breathing fresh air. Maybe laying on a blanket with the person they truly love and just enjoying that moment of utter bliss.

  • Oops! I need to go to the first video on stress, excuse me for interrupting by making a comment on this video. Sorry!

  • video was fine, but i really cant say i was happy when the pictures of the dead animals came up. i find that highly unnecessary and a little disturbing

  • a lot of people dont let you move around them because their minds have been conditioned by conventions that indicate that certain harmless or organic movements are bad or inappropriate when really that is rarely the case

  • The joy of movement...I improvise with light weights and yoga...I live In phoenix and I love hikeing camelback mountain because of all the boulders...A lot of jumping and moving with gravity..and dynamic organic movement...I see a lot of people walking around the mountain preserves with hikeing sticks or as though they are still in the office they have no balance and are afraid to move anywhere outside their normal habitual pattern of movements

  • thanks!

  • Natalie thank you for your work it has helped me.

  • She's a fine specimen

  • ur weird.

  • it bummed me out when i saw the pics of the dead animals especially the little mouse...nice video

  • u r hot

  • Absolutely one of the most productive stress management ideas I have seen in some time. Certainly beats taking anti depressant medications

  • Consciously Awakened.

  • Don't look at the comments. You stopped me.

    Great tips...

  • swimming, running, playing and working are my signs of being alive

  • Being 'Alive' to me means experiencing 'life', in all its facets through the use of a body. It means being able to feel love, but also pain. To be able to smell all the wonderful odors of nature. To be able to see all the beauty the world has to offer. To be able to touch the soft skin of a girl. To be able to breathe, to interact with other people, to think, to sing, to dance... Want me to go on?

  • I think a person appears to be most alive or healthy when they are able to be responsive to most all of the possible situations that they may come up against without over reacting or over responding.

  • Thanks Nat. I'm 50 and have never been very active other than work. You've certainly inspired a new train of thought in me. I can't believe I reached this age without figuring this out for myself, or being taught this. I must have been sublimating a lot, because I'm a low stress guy. Your bit on sugar was an eye opener too. Thanks. You're the pretty one.

  • thanks this should help me with my schizo paranoia

  • good exercise and nutrition helps with all mental health issues, period!

  • thank u

  • welcome

  • omg MARRY ME!!!

  • great video

  • wow thx you for making this vidoe, its very informing.now i see how stupiod my family's members are.

  • thanks, have you done a video on stress and depression?

  • someone smiling running around somewhere with the people they love

  • warmth, smiling

  • shit..I`m falling in love....

  • taking a sexual desire into something productive? LOL what?

  • Excellent!!! I am so glad i found you on toutube!!!

  • I completely agree with what you said in this video. I've tried to say this to many people in the past, and have tried to follow it a lot of my life. The creation of this video and all the others is very appreciated! Thank you! :-)

  • brilliant video!! thank you!!

    namaste... :)

  • exellent information .

  • Good Job on the vid. I will catch up on my motions.

  • Use it or lose it!

    Thanks Natalie, love this site.

  • I wanted to lose a little winter fat which was due to eating more sweets and exercising less. So I started on the diet side and was making minor changes in my exercise diligence, but I decided to take some pills to increase my metabolism. They have made me jittery and reactionary to stress before, but my urge to jump start things was stronger than my reason. So after a week I blew up at work over something minor. I have stopped taking the pills and will heed your advise.

  • hi!! if you don't have a serious problem with your joints try ashtanga vinyasa yoga together with clean eating. You'll lose a lot of weight and it will be permeanent.

    namaste... :)

  • Nice job on the vid. Think I'll go make some motion now...

  • Muscular guy Ricky Martin lookalike dancing in white vest

  • Being active was some of the first and best advice I received after my children died. Before I had to stay fit for my job so it was a FORM of stress for me. I never understood using activity to releive stress but after I lost them it became an invaluable tool to make me smile and live again. It really really works better than ANYTHING else. You get addicted to it after awhile. Thank you Natalie, such wonderful advice :)

  • Is sublimation the same thing as Freud's Object-cathexis?

  • I was actually thinking today about how a long time ago the human race had to fight and kill its food if it wanted to survive.

    I pictured myself being one of those people and I contrasted it against my indoor, low payed, low skilled, consumer servant job, and I thought about how much happier I would be with the former.

    I don't want to pay somebody so I can live. I want to live for myslef.

  • I think of a face that is happy and is jogging and looking up into the sky.
