    Hello kindred spirit ✨ This video was inspired by a dream I had a year ago! I woke up, wrote down the question and thought about what I'd do if I had a day. My answers surprisingly haven't changed since. How would you choose to spend your time? There are no wrong answers! May this question inspire you to seek the beauty that is buried within your values. I hope this short little video uplifts you 🥰You can ponder this question more and discover your core values in my slow living ebook/ journal here - helenawoods.com/shop Have a magical day! ☀️

    If I had one day I would spend it with my family, my boyfriend and my cat at my home in the countryside 💚 I would dance in the fields and forests, I would wear the blue dress my great-grandmother sewed and I would eat my favorite foods and lots of chocolate 🥰 I would end it with a cup of tasty hot rose tea watching the sunset and the rise of the moon and the stars✨🌙

    I had to ask myself everyday for 10 yrs. I lived for 5 yrs with a brain tumor. Then when the beneign tumor was removed, I continued healing and asking that question more out of worry and fear. Now when I ask that question, it's more out of peace and calm and a security that I'm in the best health of my life. I Love Your Videos Very Much. There very relaxing and comforting.😊❤

    I love, love, love this video! This one question really puts everything in perspective. We get so caught up in the big, sometimes unrealistic things, that we don't enjoy those little blessings already sprinkled throughout our daily lives. When I asked myself this, I thought of eating dinner with my loved ones and friends, walking the woods of my grandmother's farm feeling the leaves crunch beneath my feet, sitting for a minute in an old wooden cottage that my great aunt created beautiful paintings in on an old wooden easle, looking at old photos and reminiscing about cherished memories, and taking a long walk with my sweet little dog. Thank you for this gift today. In a season filled with hustle and bustle, it really is the small things that bring us joy.

    If I had one day, I would definitely go back to my village, I would take a stroll in the gardens there where I spent most of my teenage years. I would go to the mountains and sink into thoughts. I would talk to my parents and I would tell them how much I love them. I would spend the rest of the day talking to my wife and my little cute daughter who is only 20 days old. I would kiss her and cuddle her until the day would finish.

    I absolutely love your channel and everything you believe. I think it is so hard not to compare ourselves to others who we think or some of us think that are succeeding in life, and by succeeding I mean societies definition of success. I am trying hard but I could try harder not to put my whole life into my career and going to school. I think it is because that is the chapter of my life that I am going through so I focus so much on that. I just need to remember that we are so much more than our careers or how many degrees we have and that does not equal success and happiness. I just want to live life and enjoy being alive and enjoy the present moments. I love that I found a community who share a lot of the same beliefs of living a simple life.

    Chère Helena.
    This is a tricky question that I have asked myself before and I know the answer perfectly. If I only had one day, one last day, I would be like the old elephants. I would leave my house and walk like them far ahead, always further in search of a unique place but without anyone. Walk, always walk. To be alone, all alone. It seems that this place is a legend !!! So I hug the people I love very tightly and the question flies in the wind.

    Well , It Is A Difficult Question Because Life Is A Journey In Time About Being In The Present Moment & Yet There Are Yearnings Of The Past & SO , A Tough Question ... Much As The World ' Believes ' In The Present , Totally Disconnecting from the Past Is Not Possible , It Is ALL Intertwined , Everything , Up Until This Point In Time ... & " ONE DAY " Just Would Not Be Enough 😊

      Hi Susan! 🤗 It says ‘To see the world, things dangerous to come to, To see behind walls. To draw closer, To find each other and to feel,
      That is the purpose of life’ It's a reference to Alex's favorite movie, the secret life of walter mitty.
