What small and simple habit(s) do you want to work on? 🌱 👇

[chrischabre]

I read in Psalms, the Bible. It calms me and keeps me positive.

[bollybelly]

Smiling even while you are by yourself will lift your spirits. It doesn’t even have to be in the mirror.

Tip #5 Decluttering my home, is the main one that I am working on at this time.
Reading for fun is perhaps one which I will also add.
I am a Pre-School teacher and love children's books.
I didn't think of just enjoying them for myself instead of only using them as classroom tools.
Thank you for this video it's absolutely fantastic and will be re-watched often!

The number one simple habit that is improving my life is taking time to read my Bible everyday. But it doesn't always happen everyday, and I'd like it to happen everyday. I noticed on the days that I don't schedule in that time for the Lord, and be still, my anxiety sneaks back in. But, this is a good reminder that my anxieties will be gone when my hope is in the right place and I've taken time to place it there. I also need to take time for exercise and fresh air everyday. If I skip more than one day with that, I fell off as well. It just makes me so happy to know that I'm getting back to the one who gave me life! Even when I miss a day of reading, it's still in my heart. I'm also going on a 21-day fast from chocolate and I'm on day 4 so far, just about! Now, that's hard for me to do! But I know that failure is only when you're not trying not if you miss a day on one of your disciplines! Have a blessed day!!🥰🍵🍫 oh, I forgot to add that I love to read fiction books! Before becoming a mom, I used to always read fiction books as a teen. But then somehow I thought it needed to only be about learning which I did for a number of years but now, into my late forties I have found the joy of reading fiction again. You are correct about how it helps you get lost in your thoughts and it's just such a fun escape. My favorite series right now is called Tearoom Mysteries. I am on my 26th book for the series and I just love them. Happy reading!

Making things happen : that's my mantra: I'm the only person that can help myself. And it's so rewarding when we achieve our dream ❤️

[doodledragonart]

Every time when I realise I need more calm and helpful reminders, I seek out your Channel Vera. Also, because I always remember what you once said about your videos stopping to pop up in one's feed. This happens a lot, and sometimes I look you up intentionally just to help your channel and algorithm. These were very good reminders, and I'm looking forward to rooting around your latest videos. Once more - those wee laughs you give after some pretty obvious statements are always so cheerful to me :-D Thanks for all your time, effort, work, tips, for your channel and just for doing what you do, by always being yourself as well.

Regarding number 8: totally true. Today the biggest gossiper at work was not there today and boy oh boy was the air different at work.
I came home and felt so much lighter.
Not having that toxic gossip, disgust and disappointment has been such a blessing.
And as an HSP being around constant gossip makes me feel so so heavy. Not being around it today made a world of difference.

1, 7 and 10 for me. 1 is a real good idea because I always have a long To-do-list ☺. This might oblige me to more think of myself. 7 is the hardest one for me, I have a lot of ideas and wishes but never put them into practice, I always find an excuse. 10 is something I already thought about myself. I usually read books for a purpose, instructional books, that will make me think about things or I will take notes while reading. I don't often read books just for fun or just enjoy it. I love fairy tales though so I think that is what I am going to read next or children's literature, because it doesn't demand much brainwork and can be very well-written. I recommend Roald Dahl really. Or British classic "The secret garden ". Thank you Vera for your videos.

Dear Vera & anyone reading this, I hope today you’ll have a peaceful and beautiful day ❤

[analaloo]

Watching your videos always calms me down. Watching a lot of other you tubers on the topic of minimalism often stresses me out - I feel like I have way too much stuff, that I am behind when it comes to owning less. I finally realized that and I will be trying to stop watching those channels for inner calm. I also always feel way better after doing yoga which I was able to include quite regularly in my week. Thanks for your ideas for new habits to slow down, those are much needed :)

Love this Vera, some great advice. Thank you.
