The low bun and collared open shirt are both very flattering!

[nora]

Thank you, and low bun suits you a lot💜

[Beavis-etox]

Watching one of your videos always slows me down a little bit. Thanks for this and have a great day.

Lately, I’ve been bullying myself for not being able to get anything done while suffering from a number of chronic issues. I just wanted to say thank you so much for the advice in this video as I need to slow down and allow myself to process what I’m going through.

[denisehill]

I'm so glad you advised sighing - my memory went straight back to school, as a 6 or 7 year old, being shouted at by the teacher for sighing. I wasn't even aware I was doing it! I'm going to have a good old sigh, and enjoy it :)

Random daydreamy thoughts…. Loved the new, low ponytail…ahhh Niksen!… happy sighing, who knew? …quiet nature….deep breathing in all its forms is incredibly soothing…self massage is necessary…. The present is a gift to yourself….how did you possibly concentrate to create this video with construction overhead? … I love being with Vera ❤

[myrnarenoud]

I actually practice your last tip all the time. I find doing my nightly facial routine boring and lots of time I’m not in the mood to do it! I thought it was taking way too long so one night I timed myself. I was shocked that it was only taking me 10 minutes!!! I would have guessed 25! So after that I started practicing focusing on what needs to be done nightly and I encourage myself by saying…it’s only 10 minutes…relax and enjoy! Amazingly, I have learned to do just that!

Hello Vera! I find your videos incredibly calming and inspiring! I'm happy every time you post a new one. It makes my day a little bit nicer! Thank you so much!🌱🌟

Th low bun is very cute. I know one of my big things is to treat self care as important as other things.

[eduardor]

OMG, Dear Vera, it's so beautiful to begin the week with you ❤❤❤❤ send you hugs from Mexico City 😊

[happy_t-rex]

Love the bun! I do read a lot of non-fiction, but mainly science-y stuff, and history, biographies. It's still immensely interesting, but they're generally not things that make me feel like I have to do something with them /right now/, while still enhancing my understanding of many things, including myself.

[carlienvandernet]

Most of the things you speak about I already do, but I keep struggling with taking good care of myself and I spend way too much time playing a certain game on my iPad 😅. So those are the things I still need to work on. Your hair looks great with this low bun by the way.

[VarvaraKosheleva-eg]

The bun is super cute ☺️ Thanks for your advice and support. I needed it today ❤

[yegezolhennypenny]

Hi Vera from Australia 🇦🇺 am 67 really love your Channel...very interesting 😀 I am definately going to share with my close friends! Thankyou so much ❤🎉

[birgitbrabetz]

i first stumbled into your videos with the episode about NIKSEN - i do love this word
and this is what i try to take over in my days ❤❤❤
and i like your bun too 🙋🏼‍♀️

[imjustcarrie]

The thing I want to try more of is keeping my phone out of my breaks. It is like you read my mind! I immediately grab my phone when I'm taking a break. So now I will try the quiet wakefulness technique or giving a big sigh and stretch.

[sara.m.a]

hugging urself advice!!❤ thankyou so much ! much needed

[evangelenestrohschein]

Hi from Canada 🇨🇦 I'm going to work on building in habits that take practice and aren't on electronic devices.

[pamelaflickinger]

Very good slow living tips. I do like your hair in the low bun. I also style mine that way.
