I love the part where you take the time to talk with people that you come in contact with. My dad always chatted briefly with the bank teller, coffee shop cashier, butcher at the meat counter... just people working their jobs. He enjoyed making them smile. Dad has passed on, but people still tell me that he had a way of making them feel happier. He taught me well. Thank you for posting a truly heartfelt video.

"Be selective about the important things in your life, then... remove everything else." "Declutter your life from the inside out."

I think I’m drawn to your videos because they offer peace and tranquillity. My life is stressful right now and your videos remind me to take a deep breath and enjoy the day. Thanks and I am always excited to see a new video has been posted.

Just read this quote: "One handful of rest is better than two fists full of labor and striving after the wind." -Ecclesiastes 4:6

I have found (via my old college roommate) that connecting with people in day to day situations (such as grocery store cashiers, waitresses, etc.) adds something special to my day. Something simple like asking them how they're doing or helping bag groceries and goofing really connects with people. I've formed some truly human connections with people that really makes me feel like I'm a part of my community.

YES!!!! Quiet time, candles, Ella Fitzgerald, introverted, and herbal tea. You totally just described me I love your videos so much

[AzulaMoon]

Your videos have changed my outlook on life in a way that I can't really explain. For the first time in a long time I feel a sense of peace and enjoyment over every day. You've helped me remember how to live, and not just survive another day.
Thank you. Many blessings 🌸

Ask yourself how can I make my day more intentional? What would my perfect day look like? What makes me happy and how can I fit more of that into my day?
1. Rest and recharge. ( by maintaining your body clock)
2. Remove distractions from your life.
3. Take care of your body.
4. Take a step towards your goal everyday.
5. Be your best self everyday . not to show the world, but for yourself.
6. Accomplish a big task instead of get panic in various different tasks.
7. Have fun in your day, at least for once.
8. Make connection everywhere you go ( learn to appreciate the tiniest thing/ people surrounds)
9. Take out an exciting thing to look forward to, to break that monotonous cycle of your life.
10. Give time to yourself is the most crucial thing ever to do.

I completely agree with the personal philosophy of making every day count, but it is so easy to slip into a routine and not think about philosophy on a day-to-day basis, so I appreciate the actionable steps you have shown here. It is always important to take care of ourselves, do what we love, and truly be present for all the important and beautiful moments that pass so many by! Thank you for this wonderful video :)

‘Enjoying life should be just as much a priority’ - loved that and I couldn’t agree more!! I realise that now as I don’t have a spare moment for myself anymore! So many projects and a full time job! I’m always tired but I can’t complain as deep inside I am very satisfied! I finally love myself and I know where I’m heading! But I do intend to enjoy my life to the fullest ❤️ p.s those palm trees are stunning, the scenery simply amazing! Very motivating video as well! 🙏

I’m 16 and I love to watch your videos so much, you make me feel calmer <3
Because I worry too much about school ( I’ve always been great at school but I can’t stop myself from worrying about the everyday school tasks) it exhausts me so much but when I watch your videos I get a chance to take a deep breath and relax
Thank you so much 😢💗

I really like that you mentioned the small talk part and getting to know people. Next to my creative side hustle, I work 20hrs per week as a receptionist in a health club/gym with about 1000 members in Manchester, UK. As an introvert, I always thought I would be the happiest if I left it all behind, but 2020 made me realise how much I like connecting with our members, greeting them by their names and catch up with their lives. Most of them are super nice, take a genuine interest in my life too and it enriches my life so much. It shows such a contrast to sitting at home and editing videos for 10 hours per day completely alone. I feel so balanced that I get to experience the best of both worlds. I also made quite a few valuable connections and making others smile brights up my day too :)

I love how you pointed out the importance of giving attention/focus to the people around us. And just starting a small conversation with them. For me, it truly changes your outlook about life because you get connected with them. Thanks for sharing! :)

[halinasabath]

I share your thought about “every day is a new beginning”. It gives me a feeling of a new chance to do it over with the knowledge I gained today and yesterday . Thank you

[ailsaburnsyoga]

I love that the first thing you mention is rest. I read something recently, which mentioned that *we do not need to earn rest*. That statement has stuck with me and I have been thinking a lot of how we often feel like we need to earn our leisure and rest time. Thank you for another thoughtful video Sophie!

Also, yogi tip, put a blanket underneath the hip of the leg that has the bent knee in pigeon pose. It will actually help you to stretch the muscle by having something supporting your hip. 🥰

Life can be just as simple as live to make each day counts, neither brooding on the past, nor planning or seeing far ahead to the future. Love this. Thanks for this video~

[lindajackson]

I totally agree, I am a introvert but also can make small talk and live my life the way works for me.Love your videos and wait every week to see what you will talk about.🙏🏽❤️

[shravishares]

Such simple things, yet we find ourselves doing these rarely. In a beautiful journey of life, these small things are so critical and important to do for our rejuvenation.

[slownaturalliving]

I loved your quote on small talks. I guess that was the reason why I moved to the countryside. 😅 ...it's so nice to have a little chat at the post office or just on the sidewalk.

[mariek]

As always you remind me of the importance of being present and taking care of my time and myself... something I forget too often... Take care ❤🙏
