I’m a night shift nurse, a wife and a mom of 2 young boys. Life gets so crazy sometimes. I feel like I have no grasp of any part of my life. I was also doing YouTube and instagram videos on top of it. I felt anxious most of the time. Now I’m taking a break from social media. I feel free and my anxiety is gone. In fact, I don’t even feel like I want to get back to social media until my kids grow older. There is so much peace in disconnecting from the social media world. I am now living in my soft era. I do lots of activities with my boys. I journal. I garden and take care of my home. it feels like I have so much time and it’s so peaceful. Everything happens in my own pace, and I have time. It can be done! Thank you for this inspiring video

I heard once that if you want to find things you enjoy doing for fun, remember what you did as a child. For me, drawing, swimming and being out in nature. 💕💕

Luxury to me is eating a dessert item at home on a fancy antique plate that I used to only reserve for looking at 😊.

[MalenaTaylor-jlwg]

4 steps I took
-no social media except YouTube and not after 9
-moved to a smallish town (under 10000 people) - no traffic, safe, quiet, peaceful
-work from home only
-got the kind of dogs I’ve always wanted regardless of the stereotypes and judgment and walk them every morning after my at home workout and then sit in my in home sauna
Still grinding and still work a lot!!! ….but these 4 things were game changers for me and those are my “soft life” hacks
Not a rich white lady either I took a pay cut to work remote but saved up for my sauna and dogs and not going to the gym or buying Starbucks etc being in the streets, eating out has also improved my physical health and the financials to do these other things .

Doing a job that YOU want to do, not what your family, your culture or society says is a "good job" or "good career" 🥰

[lawyerdebbie]

I waste too much time being stressed. This was a great reminder that there’s no medal for that and I should try to relax and enjoy life more 😊

[anashappydays]

When my children were little, I embraced slow living. It completely transformed my life. I make myself my priority and I am a much better person and more focused in what and who really matters in my life. No more running around and feeling like I am not doing enough or able to cope. Priorities really shifted and life is beautiful.❤

I am a healthcare worker, working in admin at a hospital. I've just been diagnosed with burnout and wow, the side effects are so real!! I am not the person I used to be, no more go, go, go, high energy, getting up at 5am to workout etc. etc. This video is really helpful on my road to healing. Thank you!!

I grew up in the 1970s and my mom was married and was the epitome of the working mom who also taught classes at church and volunteered. But, she never had time for herself or her children. Unfortunately, I became just like her just in a different form. I was the Sahm who homeschooled our children and made everything from scratch. We both burned out with serious mental and physical issues

[twoods]

We moved from the big City to a smaller state more like a country life style last Jan. We can’t believe the change it’s had on our entire lifestyle, stressors, everything we do. We are still learning but the planning ahead is so true and I resonate with you.

At 55 I learned how to RELAX and enjoy life ! Chill out that’s what I’d tell my younger self and all women

[christinaheart]

The past decade of my life has literally fight or flight mode as I fought & beat cancer 3x, however, treatment has left me with debilitating pain, which makes it even more important for me to s l o w d o w n and just be still. Embrace the moment, actually chew and savor my food, etc. I hardly check/use my phone unless it's to play something educational;) or meditative.

Getting sick showed me how important it is to slow down and that life is truly what you make of it. ❤ To a healthy, softer life.🎉🎉🎉

Living like my childhood hero Pippi Longstocking together with my spirited-2 year old daughter is our soft life era!

[LLearner]

My question is...what if ive always been living in the soft life era but my family/friends arent and they judge my lifestyle? Also at times being around them makes me feel less just because im not as busy as they are? For example one of my friend, who seems to LOVE her busy lifestyle and have lots of social circles kept asking me what do i do at home (in a condescending way at times)? Im a happy sahm most days just busy with my children and works around the house and i like my me time like netflix, walks atound the park, trying new recipes...and why does that seems too boring for her? 😅 help me explain.

[denisewilliamson]

Thank You! I will start living my soft life! 😊💯

[rubyus]

You’re so right! We are all deserve a stressless life and we’re capable to create it for ourselves! ❤

I’m chronically stressed and tired of it. I work from home, have 3 kids, husband does shift work, I’m late for everything, barely sleep and constantly doing cooking and cleaning from the moment I wake up you the minute I lay my head to rest. I feel like I’m doing a crappy job at everything. I’m always in fight or flight. I NEED to make some changes in my life

[Snotra-ifml]

A perfect lifestyle for an unemployed and childless person... Just can't imagine a working mom who can incorporate all this good stuff mentioned in this video in her everyday life(

[jeannecampbell]

Thank you for helping me put a name to how I have learned to deal with life. I have had so many ups and downs-spouse and children gravely ill, loss of income, death of family and friends-in short, I have lived a full life so far. And as I deal with all of this head on, I know that if I do not embrace a quiet home life, if I do not choose to eliminate things that have no real value and live each moment with grace and intention, I will “go down with the ship”. You do not have the luxury of choosing what life throws at you. But the greater luxury is deciding who you are and how to deal with it.

Dear, I adore you. You still have time to make videos. My nurse bf couldn't even take me to the movies. 😭 I am getting more and more resentful. Oh, do you know how I understood his worklife? I started watching fb videos of a nurse influencer who makes skits of how stressful their job is. 😅

I live in Southeast Asia. The healthcare worker = patient ratio here is bad
