Hope to hear from you!
It's strange seeing Mon looking blue! He was so excited for his farm, if you're not happy with cooking change it Mon! You deserve to find happiness, all of you do!
Dear Mon, as traumatized people, we tick differently especially under pressure. The nervous system was damaged as small children. I learn to train myself today with having a loving mother and father in myself (and not the self-harming voice of you must-get there-faster...) It takes years and it is worth it! Much love and strength!
I heard a quote the other day that really resonated with me "Sometimes when you are in a dark place you may feel you have been buried, when in fact you have been planted." The way you both talk in this video I know good changes are coming very soon, don't give up 🙂🙏
Its great to see the family back being so honest and real!
Yes, i really enjoy the way they are acting one each other ... open, free, easy ....
Oh my, you guys (especially Mon) look like you need a "refresh" button. I know what you mean about a midlife crisis. Too many responsibilities, too much stress, young children needing things, and not having the head space and time you need for yourself. On top of that: noticing your body slowly changing, and falling apart and always being so damn tired!
I really hope you all find your good changes and recharge after this tough season.
בהצלחה עם האתגר של הסוכר והפחמימות! אולי אנסה חלקית ליישם גם אצלי. הבגדים לא עולים עלי...
My guess, after so many years of being what we were programmed to be, it gets exhausting pretending to be the happy go lucky one. Being open about utter inner discontent and discomfort, is already a relief, no more pretending will get you through… to the new Mon. ❤
you guys can do it!! I quit drinking 8 months ago and I can't tell you how much it has transformed my mental state. All the best wishes for you guys xxx
Hi,sometimes you need to take some pause and step back for refresh.Encorage you Mon❤
It's time 4 your kids back to school again.So coming with low season n rainy n drought.keep doing great with your family guys find inspiration again.
When we are going on Lanta in 2022 (at the end of Covid) we take a cooking class with you Mon and you made our trip so fantastic with your energy. Wish she came back soon for you, you are a natural sunshine.. :) Eric and Cindy from Canada .
❤yr song! So many ducks nowWow that is terrible weather. So happy to see you all back. Have a great weekend. 💞💞💞💞
ฉันคิดถึงพวกคุณ ก็เข้าใจนะช่วงจังหวะชีวิตของคนช่วงหนึ่งมันจะเกิด การท้อแท้หรือเต็มอิ่มหรือหยุดอยู่เฉยๆไม่อยากได้ ใคร่ดี อะไร เห็นอะไรก็เบื่อหน่ายไปหมด หาให้พบว่า ที่เราเป็นเช่นนั้นเพราะอะไร😊❤✌️#ตั้งกล้องถ่ายไว้ก็ได้แล้วเอามาตัดต่อลงเสียง❤
In the last video I remembered Mon just bought the baby ducklings but now they are all grown up plus laying eggs. In today’s video there is nothing about the growth of your cat fish and I didn’t see Diva. Mon may love cooking but when you have to conduct classes and cook because of the income then it becomes a chore, a job and no longer hobby. Plus having to care for the family, ducks, chickens, fishes etc, Mon has burnt out. Having the children 2.5 months at home all the time also doesn’t help as parents need some free time of their own to do their things and chill out. So it’s natural people turn to food and eat lots of them when they are feeling tired, low and low in motivation. But now you’re beginning to rise again, started thinking what do you want to do and achieve in the short term. How to lose weight and get healthier etc. Boy, I didn’t know Maayan can rap so well. Yo yo sister lo! Great to see your family again after so many months. Waiting for your next video. Take care.
So glad to see you back! Yes, change is good. You will feel better when you feel more in control. 😘
I feel that Mon is a sensitive person, who soaks up too much energy around him and needs a balance, more quiet, peace and silence in his life.
I suggest get some good wax earplugs and go to a really silent place daily. Your nervous system is overloaded. Put a tablespoon of castor oil allover your stomach and wrap with plastic and a towel, plus a hot water bottle and take a 30 min nap daily. Its a worldwide problem, overload of stimuli. Overloads the nervous system. Dont worry, you will get your spunk back.
Mon is a very giving person. He needs to set some boundaries and take care of his own body, mind and soul and get deep relaxation and quiet. Maybe the parents can take turns with the kids and give each other the space and time. Too much of a routine can also wear a person out. Break the routine.
Long time fan. You can eat rice. But you must refrigerator for 4 hrs or more. Once it is in the refrigerator, it becomes the starch no carb. It probiodic.
Welcome back, I truly missed the family. I am so glad you took time for yourself and your family. Thank you for sharing your day. Love to the family. ☺️
Glad to see you are back. Mon seems a little distant. He's not exuberant like he usually appears in the videos. Hopefully, it is only a life slump and he will soon get back to being himself. Mon should do private cooking videos and turn his recipes into a cookbook book. It's a lot of work doing cooking lessons with other people involved, but filming his own cooking while preparing meals at home when he feels he is up to it could be a good option for a while; especially since you are planning to eat healthier meals. Your videos bring us a look at island culture from a great family perspective. I love watching you both, and... my! goodness!... the children are growing. We have that dreadful heat filled humidity where I live in South Carolina US. It gets like a sauna at times here. I understand that desire for the rain and cooler winds to bring down the hot temperatures. Stay safe and happy. I always look forward to new content from you.
Mon may be going through an awakening of some sort. He's feeling out of alignment with his inner being at the moment. Seems like yall are ready for new chapters. Cheers to you both for those positive changes, it will truly help you guys. Keep being wonderful and healthy role models for your children. You two got this!!! :)
Glad to you you all again, with another lovely and amazing video.The ducks are so many, really love and enjoy your videos.
Great to see your family I'm glad your doing great ❤ love your rap song too. Have a wonderful summer!!!❤
I love this style of vlog Maayan. The intro with the ducks was so cute too! Life is full of contrast isn’t it? But the contrast can be beautiful because it offers us clarity…..I wish you both clarity + full hearts 💜
Zoveel respect voor jullie! Eerlijk, open en (samen) werken aan een betere versie van jezelf vergt mega veel moed. Succes!
I’ve been a professional musician for almost 50 years. It’s my passion. But sometimes you need a break even from things you love to do. A little break to recharge is probably what he needs!
Welcome back guys, you have been missed. Yes, a balanced work/family lifestyle is essential for health and wellbeing apart from happiness and successful relationships so, yeah, how to achieve that. Hmm not easy, usually outsourcing processes to create valuable free time. I note the kids do some of the farming activities which helps a little. Something though has to give - LOW Season I guess comes to the rescue. That means a drop in income but offset a little by the opportunity to create content. Mangosteens - hmmmm - a business opportunity?? The video was interesting and, as usual, had the mind racing 😂🤣😂. I'm still walking 2 hours daily when the weather permits and its been shocking now for 2 weeks - too much rain - and you have to battle 40 degree heat for yours. Best wishes to you all. Take care and be happy 🤩
Don't ever give up Mon do it for your family 💯 no matter what happen!
Happy to seeing you back. Your business is running great, the kids are smart and lovely. Many greetings from Germany ❤
ชอบครอบครัวนี้มากค่ะ ดูแล้วมีความสุข ง่ายๆ กับธรรมชาติ ง่ายๆ กับสิ่งที่รัก เด็กๆ น่ารัก ได้รับความอบอุ่น อิสระ สอนเด็กๆ ดีมากค่ะ😊😊 จะติดตามตลอดไป ค่ะ
That’s great to make a change and live with more healthy foods and exercising.
Look forward on how both of you managing that changes and the challenges on the end-results .
I stayed at Sweet Life Community Guest House this year. It was a great experience. The staff were so helpful and I loved the coffee place at the front. I’m looking forward to booking again for next year, on my way to Koh Muk. Best of luck!
What do you want on your birthday? Nothing! Perfect!😂😂😂
Great to see you again! I am looking forward to see more of you!🙏🦋🩵🥰
After long time good to see you ❤❤❤❤❤❤ well for sure I'm there👍🏻
Happy to see you back. Loved the intro. Mon looks so tired, the children are growing up so fast. Take time for yourselves, we will be here for you ❤️ I'm in on the 30 day challenge, take care of each other ❤
I was sitting here watching and realized I had a big smile on my face. Great to see you all again. I just went to the gym yesterday after a very long time of being consistently lazy and eating unhealthily. It doesn't feel good to be out of shape. Our bodies do so much for us and yet I make decisions that do not respect it, honor it, or treat it with love. Your video is another great reminder and motivation. 🥰
Mont is not having a midlife crisis. He’s having a burnout! I had that too with my business. He really need rest, otherwise if he need to keep pushing with burnout condition! Later on he will break! And it will all fall apart part 10 times worse than what it is now. I had a burn out with my business, I almost ran it to the ground. Wanted to stop doing anything at all that involved my business. From a passionate woman, I hated every core of my business. Every details, I hated it. Once I got my rest, (takes months,) but still running a business at a minimal amount just enough to pay all the cost. After a while, I gained back my energy, got my kick back and back on track without too much resentment. But I will always bear in mind that I could full into burnout again at anytime. We are human, not machine or ai. So please Mayan, give a lot of understanding to Mont. step in where you can, take some burden away from him at what you can. Let him rest a bit. It might fall then heavy on you for a while. That’s how marriage is, support each other with all ups and downs.
Veel succes! En veel beterschap voor Mont.
A vacation is well deserved! Please take care of yourself and each other.
It's great to see you all again thanks for being so honest and real x
I've been thinking of eating differently to..just not sure what & how yet. I will try & do it with you to.
I love seeing all of you again!! I am going to keep you all in prayer. I am a Christian & I know that Jesus will keep you in His care🙏😊❤💞🌻
Hey mon, stay strong my brother, look at your beautiful kids and wife, you don't need anything else to be happy, sometimes the more we want the more sad we get, just keep smiling mon everything will be ok my friend 👍
I love the rain!!!
Great to see you back on UA-cam! Loved the edit and the content. So honest and open. It's therefore so relatable, which is rare to see on UA-cam, thank you for that!
Good luck with the challenge. I just started running again, and you inspired me to join the challenge to run 3 times a week for a month. And I'll try up cut back on eating chocolate, but that's so hard 😅.
Hope low season will give you both time to refresh and get into a better mental space. Take care and look forward to see more videos.
Yoohoo! So glad you're joining us. ❤️❤️❤️
maybe because as we started getting old, we become quieter and like to have more time for ourself
We all need to reset ourselves once in a while..Life takes us in so many directions and it can become exhausting and then we make wrong choices..at least your sharing your feeling with each other..
❤ oh, my God, how adorable when those ducks came out it just was never ending just amazing, beautiful beautiful and then the one still came out all by himself at the end that just left a smile on my face
I know, i love that moment.
It’s always a pleasure to watch your Vlogs 💖 Many Thanks Mayan + Mon. I hope Mon will get happier soon 💖Being such a great guy and such a creative person as i can percieve. Your first house ( wooda house ) is an example💖
Dont give up so easily Mon. You got to love the things you do and sustain it. Because the chd are watching what we parents do. Your cooking is awesome. Your chickens ducks etc are out of this world. Dont gv up. Good luck
You guys seem so authentic 🤯 so real. And Mayan you're so so good with words. 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼 I love your vibes, your harmony. You two are meant to be together and I think you will continue to enjoy time together in this life
Oh, long time no seen, so nice to see everyone's back on my channel. It's like a warm hug from old friends...
Good to see you guys after a long time. I hope you can find time to vlog for a few minutes a week. Good luck with your 30 day challenge
How cute Mili is saying I cant stop thinking about those cookies, how much I want to eat them, how they will turn out, they will turn out so good😂
OMG. Your rap song. So awesome!
Yes, count me in! I have started the challenge already. Went for an annual physical on 4/15 and had blood tests. I was worried something serious might be wrong due to symptoms I'd been having for a few months. (pain, weight gain, bloating, low moods) The tests came back and it turns out I am allergic to many of my daily foods!!! Apples, oranges, tomatoes, potatoes, peanuts (!! my favorite snack) cow milk and more. It still left me with lots of choices so I cut out the ones on the list that were giving me high numbers. Anyway, it's been almost two weeks and I feel so much better! I will continue to fine tune my diet. So, yes count me in! I am so happy you posted again. I think of you often.
Oh Barbara! So good to hear from you again! Wow I'm so happy that you found out what was wrong! I would like to keep our viewers engaged with us on this journey for one month. We're gonna post daily stories and updates on Instagram for example. f you have any tips on how to do it on UA-cam, would love to hear your thoughts. Hope to see you soon during the live!
What was the name of the tests you take.
@@katehudson6490 Allergen Panel, Basic Food Comprehensive and Allergen Panel, Animal are the test names. Plus she requested all the general lab tests and ANA Comprehensive Panel. The allergen tests were the only abnormal results.
Stop eating at 5:30 at night till about 10:30 ,11. If there's colonics around they help. Smoothies. Dates and figs help with detoxing from processed sugar.
Mon u can do it bro just like you said do it for u and ur health not anyone’s else I quit smoking 28 year ago cold turkey and give up drinking 15 year ago , I’m 54 yrs old feel so strong and healthier still run 2-3 marathons per year , and cycling 🚴 3200-4000 miles yearly.. bro u got this u can do it .. จะคอยเป็นกําลังใจให้นะครับ brother 👍👍👍👌
The kids are too adorable
I love that, Shaksuka. I make it too. Hello Maayan ! Good to see you again ! And your family of course. I saw a smile on Mon ! He got all his ducks running around ! I would like to see him cook again ! In Holland we call that heat ; a heatwave, at 40 degrees. I feels the earth is warming up. And the rain came back ! I just watched Ryan and Mo. So sad to see their plants burning in that heat. I think Mon is hearing himself. His sense of humor is winning ! You are very wise Maayan. Love from a Dutch old lady in California. 🙏❤️🙏
ชอบดูครอบครัวนี้มากๆค่ะ อยากให้คุณมายันพูดช้าลงนิดนึงค่ะ ฝึกฟังอ่านภาษาอังกฤษไปด้วย คลิปสนุกมาก
We like this fruit so much.Make it salted at grass bottles so that you can eat anytime.You can pounded and take out juice and fried with pounded ngapi and small pounded prawn.
I'll join in your change of lifestyle.
Stop eating sugar, and start walking regularly.
Let's do this 💪❗️
Great video guys ❤ Glad to see you back again and thanks for sharing this video….and cannot wait to see more 😊
I have just discovered your Chanel, I really love it, I have not been to Thailand for many years now I really want to visit again, especially Koh Lanta, keep making great videos, thank you from Greece❤
Sweet life indeed
Happy to see you again. We had a santoltree as well on Praslin in the Sey. It's a superhigh and rare tree, you might have a superyoung one in your backyard. It has a lovely texture and taste, the best fruit to have.
What Mon experienced is quite common when working with tourists. It is emotionally tiring and you can't really do it if you want to be real towards them, but you have to be always happy and outgoing and always answer their many questions. I couldn't do it anymore after a full year of hosting touriststours. It takes the fun out of you. Thats why a lot of guides sound 'phony friendly'. Better to stopp... or be the one grumpy cook for annoying tourists 😂.
Happy birthday fellow taurean 💋 more salads live foods!! Fruits… must have some carbs in heat!!! Take care of you..
we all love how real you all are so stay true ❤️ Cherry 🍒 oz
מעיין את תותחית עם הקטע של הראפ!!!! הרגע גיליתי אתכם אני עוקבת אחריי לילי ובעלה על החיים בתאילנד וכיף לגלות גם אתכם!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
wow so good , I believe both can do it👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful family, I am happy with your video so simple life 🌎🌍🌏🙏🙏🇱🇦
Can be nice to see what you will eat, cook, keto? May push up our motivation with simple tips....first days will be full of frustrations and don't forget your body remembers every privations, so do it easy.
Sorry 4 whatever he went through, God is on ur side . Good health is paramount. Once there is life there is hope.Sugar is unavoidable because almost every food & fruits has sugar, but I admire ur courage. Cheers.
Whooaaah! Did that rain fall hard! Believe it or not I can smell those cookies from here!
Thanks for sharing your candid thoughts and adventures. I'll be returning to New Zealand next week after a month in Spain and Portugal. I will miss these extraordinary countries but if I stay longer I will need to take out my pants!
I've been intermittent fasting since November last year, and I dropped heaps of weight. It's hard to watch your food intake when you're away from home, so I'm looking forward to getting back to my food routine. Ie. First meal at 12.30 - 1.30pm and Dinner at 7.30pm. Portions small. And walking every day. So I'm with you guys!! WE CAN DO IT!! 🤘
You both have a wonderful life,cause your family has sustainability to survive day to day life , growing trees herbs,and bringing up chickens ducks to get eggs which can save money , then earning money from internet and hostels compared to my Bangkok life that requires a lot of money each day, gasoline,lunch , dinner, everything has to be bought.
You guys have soul!
Can’t wait to see the new life style kha !!!! Su Su naka. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Hi So so nice to see you, do you know how much we missed you ❤ Mon even when you are not feeling your happiest, you are still so funny, but you are keeping it real, everyone has those times, when its time for a reset, its daunting for sure, but imagine how many of the youtube family are with you? The children are growing up so quickly, i love watching your family interactions. Best wishes from me in London UK 🇬🇧 btw i am still deciding on what i can reset in thirty days ❤
What do u what in ur birthday. Nothing . Perfect hahahahahaha …luv it !
Great to see you all again 😀 Everything of the best for your health journey - you can do it 🙌
Hey love ur rap! Also been waiting for ur content. Always honest n relatable, fighto!
Really missed yall! The kiddos are growing so fast! Will look for you on instagram! Best of luck!
Hello dear Maayan & Mon, i follow you since a few years now and i always loved your energy and content ! You both are so authentic honest, there are so many stories and shared feelings with us viewers, a great and very appreciated point in your vlogs, love it and i feel happy you do new videos☝🙏❤!❤THY!
Thank you always for your kindness
Welcome back, you have been missed!! Good for the both of you to change your lifestyle
Mon, ever considered therapy? I have been in therapy on and off for 10 years, until my therapist passed away. But she helped me find some really useful tools. I am like you Mon, light and happy - or so I thought... but I also have to fight some darkness. Please get some help. Mayan (spelling?) it´s of course hard for you too. Hope you are back to normal soon and get rid of - or rather get that luggage in place - I am sure that is what it is Mon, old luggage... you don´ t need it anymore. But you are in harmony now, then it all catches up. It´s perfectly normal, but of course difficult. What my therapist tought me really: is to internalize that protection I did not get as a child. When you were supposed to be protected, you get broken. But with work you can re write the history and be your own loving parent to fill in where your own parents couldn´t. You can still love them to bits, but you fill in the gaps.
I’m praying for you guys. Not just a temporary change… you will feel better for sure and it’s a good example for the kids. Yes it will be difficult at first, but DONT GIVE UP!❤️🙏❤️
I just finished week three of my month off alcohol. But I could use a month off carbs as well. I hope Mon gets his groove back soon!
4 months without alcohol here 🙂. And the side effect is I dropped the weight a little bit, feeling good and I fit back into my summer clothes.
This year has been really hard on the body we need to brighter to fit the lightness of our beautiful souls I think that's what it is it's matching the energy of our souls journey can't do it if your weighed down ❤❤❤
❤ I think your daughter’s voice is going to be beautiful. Does she like to sing?
I send you some positive energy, because you bring me a lot of joy. I love you guys and I keep fingers on your lifestyle change.
To you both thanks for sharing your lives with us. I love your honesty. Be courageous. Feel better❤
Awesome video guys! Welcome back and good luck with the 30 days challenge 😊 I would love to follow this journey with you:)
Good luck guys.
Hi guys good to see you back. I will join you on the 30 day challenge to not eat crisps, cake, ice cream, bread x
❤ it looks to me that Mon could use some help and you guys will be fine caretaker of the farm
Good luck on your challenge❤ I know you can do it..!!
Even the most positive and happy people have a down period in their lives. Ups and downs…
But you are working on it. It’s great!!!! Hopefully see you next year 🫶❤
Hee liefie ❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤i love your rap flow❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for been back with a new video. You guys are my favorite couple , you're so loving and affectionate towards each other. I keep checking for your videos and it's great to start my Saturday with it. Btw your kids are beautiful
Thank you *Sweet Life Lanta " to a better life " 💝. Changing life patterns (for the better) is a test for soul spirit to come together -- inspirations energized 😉. I get docile & just living 'tasks' takes up the daily grind ..... P.S. Nice to see you back 🤳💌
When I want to make a change but not give it up for good, I have it only on the weekends. So mon-fri I skip coffee (w cream + sugar mmm) but on sat/sun morns i have a cup. Same with carbs for breakfast like toast. Only fruit for breakfast during the week. It helps me not only be healthier but have more appreciation for the treat too. Mon you could try that with beer after you give it up for a month.👌👌
I will join you.
No sugar, no carbs challenge to eat healthy
..😊❤
สู้ๆ เป็นกำลังให้ 🎉❤
Maayan, sorry, I didn’t get to your live event today after spending a week in southern China with kids 😝 This episode was so real and so well-edited. You’ve got the gift of understanding how to compile a story 😊 I am just happy to know you and your family 🙂
So nice you're back! Missed you guys. You're looking great and the beautiful ducks also. Another thing you could do without diet, is perhaps to stop eating animals.. THAT would be amazing - for all concerned!
