Avoid toxic negative people and relationships.

Derek, you're always ahead-of-the-curve. I'm doing my doctoral dissertation on nature-based interventions to treat stress related mental health disorders, and I appreciated this. But...just sending so much positive energy your way. I love your content. Even during the darkest times for vegan youtubers you've always remained consistent, and true to yourself.

[Zakkleo]

Me and my fiancé decided to go Vegan a week ago because we noticed our bodies were not handling animal products well. I had no idea what to eat or how to prepare meals, and how to get all the nutrients I needed. Finding your channel has helped me out so much! Thank you for all the information and the positivity!

Sitting in nature quietly long enough to blend in is such a great tip. The first time I did this with a group of people on a permaculture course in the middle of a woods in Glasgow. A deer walked about 10 metres away from me. It was such an amazing experience. Being a gardener, any chance I get to be myself I try to stop and spot birds and mammals etc. Even looking a the different types of fungi at this time of year is awesome. Thanks for the video.

Great video, Derek. Also, in my opinion, having a pet, it's amazing. When I'm surrounded by animals, I'm my best version. By the way, please adopt, don't shop.👍

The quality of the video is good! When you're sitting and talking to the camera, the video looks SUPER crisp and high quality

I wish I could "Like" this video every time I watch it. Thanks for the much-needed positivity boost.

Stopped watching news. Really helps. If something you need to know if something happens you’ll find out. At the beginning and end of each day I write down or say 5 things I’m grateful for. You are always in my lists. For winter exercise shovel people’s driveways and sidewalks that have a hard time doing it themselves. Love and peacefulness to all.

One of the most important habits that help me stay positive is sticking to a daily cleaning routine. I feel like our domain can be a reflection of what we feel inside and vise versa.

[Connectingthedots.]

Summary:
1. Consume (social media, TV etc), less and also increase content that make you feel good (& less of the bad)
2. Get out into nature
3. Move Your Body!
4, have and spent time on your hobbies & passions
5. Make good choices with your food, nutrients & supplements

Very cool opening & great video - cut scenes and lighting on your main scenes. Thanks for creating this video!

I can relate to strangers thinking you're nuts in the forest...I often go for walks on trails and always bring my tin whistle (a small flute) and I'll bust it out whenever the mood strikes and start playing. A huge bearded man, alone, playing a small flute in the woods...can you imagine the reactions when they stumble upon that bizarre scene? 😂😂
Great video Derek 👍

[jessiestring]

Love this. Saw a quote from our fellow Canadian Jann Arden the other day ... the best time to go for a walk is when you don't feel like it. Really resonated with me.

Derek and Crystal need more recognition! They are so natural and transparent. Love both of them

Loved this video. Started eating whole food plant based in March 2019. I love walks outside. Since March 17, 2020 I've been working from home. Isolation drove many indoors, but walked the neighborhood on my morning & afternoon breaks. July 2020 was introduced to Walk at Home video exercises. When the fires hit CA the smoke was horrendous here in the San Joaquin valley. I kept up with exercise after my shift and lost 14.5 lbs in that year. My husband took us to the beach every Saturday where we got fresh air and sun. Bringing a cooler with our food kept us whole food plant based. I began morning devotions and meditation before my shift since I didn't have to drive to work. This has been a positive experience. I'm working on my sleep routine as this is very important for health. Thank you for sharing your list in this video. Loved the forest scenery and music. Well done.

1000 Hours Outside Challenge - designed for kids mostly but I think Adults should give it a whirl!! This video is the reminder I needed in the midst of a mental health low. Thanks Derek ❤

Edited to add: Hobbies are important and NEVER be afraid to do something "childish". PLAY is not just for kids ❤

Tip Number 6 - Watch Simnett Nutrition Videos - Instant good vibes

[RXP]

The hobby point was so bang on. It's not the cars. It's how the cars enable you to learn so much more and create. We are inherently creative animals. Every sentence we say has likely never been said ever. We are animals that go out into the world and create. That doesn't mean just art or "creatives" that we've been told is being creative. Play itself is creative.

This is so relateable, watching it in the darkest depth of Norwegian winter🌑☃️💨🥶skiing(cross country) during the 2 hours of sun builds up for days of positivity!🌤
Also watching hiking videos or shots from summer helps a bit to get through the season🤗

[LakshayNaidu]

The amount of great content Derek gives out is just unbelievable! Wouldn't be where I am without his videos.

[pollyd]

Love all your videos! I’m an active 67 year old retired RN and was having GI issues in 2019. The physicians I saw were useless. Saw a naturopath and she fixed the gut issues with supplements. Since then I became plant based do yoga daily and continue to hike bike and workout. Never felt better. Your videos are helpful to keep the attitude going ! Thanks 🙏
