It's always easy to enjoy the little things in life when you do not have to struggle or if you do not lose your job to the pandemic or your finances have not dwindled down to nothing. Everything is always beautiful if life is going your way, but how will you react if you are stuck in the middle of a storm, the boat is being tossed side to side, the waves are getting taller and the wind is blowing in every direction. Will you be able to enjoy life at that point? Who do you trust when the storm is ready to flip over your boat?
@Joy and the World - I'm not talking about not being thankful in the midst of hardships. I'm trying to tell you and others, it's easy to talk about enjoying the so called, simple things in life when you have everything you need or want. She lives in Hawaii, has a nice house, a car, she doesn't work because she has a husband who works. She lives by the beach and has everything she needs, so it's easy to talk about being happy by just enjoying the simple things. Take away Hawaii, her nice house, car and put her to work in a tiresome tedious job, in some area that has no scenery or beach, living in a not so great house, with a used car and struggling to have decent food, not fresh fruits and veggies from the garden; then ask her if she is enjoying the simple things in life. It's easy to enjoy her life, because she has everything she needs and wants. She doesn't have to work, she can sleep 10 hors a day, wake-up at 9:00 every morning and sit on the porch drinking coffee until 10:00. She isn't a minimalist, she has all the luxuries she needs. She is a princess living a fairytale life. This is the point I'm trying to make.
I love the sound of the chirping in the mornings, the sound of waves, the smell of rain, seeing plants grow, seeing the fishes swim next to me as I snorkel; my list can go on forever 😊💕
@@mbank3832 I understand how that can happen, every year during Hurricane season we have a fear of our homes being flooded and blown away, but we don't like the fear overcome us as we do know it is needed for life to go on. I hope you find joy in the rain again. 😊💕
This is my favorite UA-cam Channel. Im having a depression and everytime im watching your Videos i feel so much better. Thank you. ❤️ You are amazing ❤️
Its the small things in life that makes this life worthwhile. I saw the other day in the park mama duck with 9 tiny little ducklings and it was the most awesome moment in my entire day.
Years ago as a teenager I do cherish hundred of aim in my heart. Time passed, I'm already 20. I've been already changed my lifestyle. I'm lucky I've meet you, and it's really help me to follow my heart. I've started writing my very first book about importance of being introvert & self-love. I will publish it in next women's Day. I just wanted to be a better version of myself so I will always keep up with you. Lots of ❤️ dear sister.
i like all of them + i like sound of shower, sound of random birds at home, sound of watering the plants, sound of writing with pencil and conversation before a nap. that's loved❤️ anyway thanks for sharing!
Those moments are golden. Sometimes we get caught up in busy lifes and thoughts that we forget them or completely do these things unconsciously. Thanks for reminding us to live life slowly and appreciate these little things in life.❤️😘 you’re absolutely beautiful.
As someone who got diagnosed with major depression 2 years ago this is actually kinda motivating to actually enjoy my life. I've been trying to understand what's so good about life but then this video popped up and it made me realize I didn't actually want to die but escape the way I feel. Thank u all for sharing ur own unique moments. Love and respect from me. -L.
Moments I would like to add : 41. feeling of my body being stretched after good yoga session 42. sound of cutting food on the wooden cutting board 43. walking in foggy mornings 44. having my clothes ironed 45. lazy weekend morning with Yerba Mate 😊
46. Listening the fire's sounds in the chimney. 47. Rain's smell and sound. 48. The lazy and relaxstinh sensation in your body after a day in the swimming pool or the beach.
There’s a holy GOD in Heaven, Who created you and I for His glory, but our sins have separated us from Him. the wages of sin is DEATH, but the FREE Gift of GOD is eternal life in JESUS CHRIST the LORD. CHRIST died for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. repent, stop living in sin, and believe in the Gospel.
one of my most favorite things in life is wearing my sweatshirts as soon as they come out of the dryer. It's so nice and warm and feels like I'm wearing a hug in cold weather.
I randomly found your channel two weeks ago, and didn’t realize I was subconsciously decluttering my life. I’m sure people comment on your soothing voice and calming presence, but I understand as a fellow anxious nomad that you’re talking to the camera the way you talk to yourself. Firmly, lovingly, intentionally, and with forgiveness. Blessings on your journey, sister..know that you give both light and peace..protect that..
Love this- it really is the simple everyday moments that are to be appreciated. Hanging clean sheets in the morning while the birds chirp, watching them blowing on the line during a warm breezy day, and then sleeping on them that night is one of my favourite things. Also, as a mom I love hearing children laugh and play together outside as I am right now!
My friend recently sent me a video of her daughter playing and laughing and it just filled my heart 🥰 I think those little moments really make life special. Thanks for sharing Heather
So soothing! I long for the night to sleep without any pressing morning item that I have to wake up to. Also, I look forward to every next day as I feel so serene and happy and contended with my life. Being thankful to the Almighty for the beautiful life I am bestowed with.
My goodness I was driven into a whole new world watching this video. This is so trueee. We should appreciate what we have, while they last. This is my favorite video uploaded by you, so far...
“Gratitude turns what we have into enough” - Buddha Indeed. I want to achieve much more than I have, yet it’s so important to remember this during the journey and always maintain a level of inner contentment that embodies that piece of wisdom always in the present.
I just found your channel lately. Then I watch your VDO clip every day. Your voice is so beautiful and make me feel relaxed. And I also learn English from your channel. It's easy to understand what you said. Thank you for making the great channel.
A Few of My Favorite Things:1. My 2 babies 2. BOOKS! I LOVE reading. And I look forward to all the books I HAVE to read and the books that will come out to read. YUM! 3. Perfume and ALL good scents. 4. Tea/ coffee/ hot cocoa . I really like warm drinks. 5. Shea Butter 6. Finally finding the perfect hair care routine. 7.consistency 8. Exercise 9. Shopping and spending money on my babies.
I looooved this! Thanks for the reminder that we are surrounded by beauty. I could almost smell those mangoes. I would also add: (1) the sound of crickets and small frogs at night (2) taking a shower at night and then cuddling up in warm sheets (3) a good hug from a loved one.
And your videos are in my list!!! They are so beautiful, you made me happy with this one, there are a lot of things that I like and make me happy and I haven't take the time to think about it and be grateful for them. Life can be so beautiful if we see everything with gratitude, thank you Sophie, blessings to you
Tears those are things I.cherish the most especially with loved ones and drive/walking through nature. Thank you for all your beautiful hard work in your videos🙏🌴🌤☁️🌊🌈
This is wonderful, encouraging and inspiring. Had no sound but listen to amazing music that fit so fluidly. Made me appreciate my days even more. Love waking up to my bird friends and their singing and chirping. The rabbits and their little bunnies bouncing through the yard. Sometimes they just hang out beside me and keep me company. The squirrels getting apples from the apple tree. Butterflies, flowers, hummingbirds and even frogs and fireflies make up my backyard. In the fall, the peach trees fallen fruit is squirreled away for the seeds through winter. The cardinal sings from the top of the willow tree by the back gate. Mornings is coffee. Afternoon, ice tea. Evenings is green tea with honey. Sometimes, play a little guitar outside. Maybe the fire pit when the girls want smores or I just feel somber and need to relax just a bit more. I am grateful and appreciative of each day now. I find beauty in nearly everything. Even a lite breeze as the leaves fall. Might do some artwork, drawing, painting or sculpting. Might not. Use to journal a lot and make many list to do. Still occasionally make my list and love checking things off but now,.. managing my daily energy creates new priorities. Simply enjoy the little things more thoroughly now. Different seasons bloom different flowers and some are so amazing and I didn't even plant them. This past spring, a white lily snuck into the front yard by one of rose bushes next to my Day Lilies. Never had a white one before. Yes,.. many of the things on your list is on mine too. Reading the other comments,.. I'm sure you must have ask for others thoughts of their list in some way. Since this video was a year ago and my comment is so very long,.. not likely anyone will read it but the writing of it is not the purpose. The thoughts, visions, calm, peacefulness I experienced with the music,.. brought a warm, tender calm to me. Reminding me of how wonderful life around me truly is and how grateful I am to be able to notice, appreciate and drink in the experiences of that life I now live. With that,.. I say thank you. Not a subscriber but a big fan of at least the few videos I've stumbled across. You are truly a good soul. May you always find fulfillment in everything you do. Mostly,.. I wish you peace, good health and a happy life full of contentment and joy.
walking in rainy evenings, sitting around the breeze, feeding little chirps on your windows, the smell of the very first rain of the year, the winter night walks and so many things to be grateful for :)
hi i’m from philippines. you & your videos are just too precious. thank you so much for being my therapy, just want u to know that your channel is my “go to” everytime i feel unmotivated in life. you are a life saver just by being yourself. keep spreading positive vibes, always be here to support you. ily!!!!
Dear Sophie, Thank you so much for the video. For the past two days, your videos made me relaxed, compassionate, lovable and much more... A warm hug to you, and keep going. Love you so much❤
Yes, totally agree with everything on this video. I like the feeling of getting this peace within me appreciating these "small things in life". That is pure bliss honestly.
what a lovely video. I once read about a journal exercise where you write down the 10 things that make you happiest on a daily or weekly basis. This helps you realize the moments and things that matter to you and helps you let go of the things that dont (ie material objects that dont actually make you happy) Some of mine are: walking my dog, coffee in the morning, making dinner with my husband, driving or walking by the ocean, etc. This video reminds me of that exercise :)
I want to practice gratitude more each day! I definitely feel more content than ever about my own life :) I love everything on your list!! especially love that no matter where we are in the world, these precious moments can connect us
I was smiling through the whole video!! Specially after you mentioned "having the whole park by yourself" and "long car drives with your loved one". Last week on a friday I went on a bike ride with my boyfriend and 2 other close people and we drove along those green forest kind of roads and the scenery we usually see when travelling through trains! We drove about 40 kms and reached a sea side which was sooooo beautiful! And we also saw the sunset. Aaannd, there were very few people so it felt like we had the whole sitting area by ourselves! Me and my boyfriend are going through tough times and that outing was all we needed to clear our minds & feel at peace. I was soooo blushing when I saw those points hehe 🙈🙈☺☺ Anyways, you have truly cultivated the art of enjoying small things. This was a lovely video! Thank you for this and I'm still smiling hehe 🥰❤
I love this relaxation and it keeps me relax & calm I love the beautiful sounds from the ocean, birds chirping in the morning and rain and makes me feel good and remember good memories 💕💕💕
This is like a reminder for me to see the beauty of the simple things in life, the things that we often miss, things that we normally didn't care of. Thank you ❤️
Her videos remind me of Terrence Malick films. Slow, surreal, ethereal, contemplative, with Maui as such an ideal backdrop and that Chopin style piano quietly playing in the background. Sure reminds me of my bygone days out there. Makes me wonder why I ever left.
My favorite thing is a combo of little pleasures. Sitting on my back porch in the mornings, sipping coffee, my big doggies at my feet, looking out at beautiful green grass and trees, enjoying my plants and flowers, feeling the soft breezes, thinking, praying, and being thankful to my Heavenly Father 🥰
You don't know how badly I needed this video. I was just sitting here feeling so sad and sorry for myself because something I truly wanted sold out before I could buy it. It's not something I even need and honestly cannot justify the cost, but it broke my heart that I cannot afford it. I'm only partway through your video and feel so much better because I too treasure these types of moments (and far more than the collectible I want). I needed this reminder. Thank you. 🤗⚘
I am so glad that I found this creator! You have no idea how much you inspire me so much ! Cheers for more content. With love from Davao del Sur, Philippines❤
Thank you so much for making this video, as well as all the other videos you make! As someone with an anxiety problem, your videos help calm me when I feel overwhelmed.
Very beautiful relaxing video. I've learned to live slowly and to enjoy the little things, the quiet and the calm. I have a difficult time being in noisy, crowded places and I don't do well under pressure. The slow and quiet life is best for me!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video Sophie, although life has been challenging lately, realise how truly uptight I was feeling until I watched this - You live in a beautiful place, I hope to be able to move away from where I had to come back to in the near future and back somewhere near the sea where I can feel more peaceful ❤
first video of yours that I watch.. just discovered ur channel an I am definitely gonna jump into this community its so calm especially after a long day. and the way u didn't feel pressure to add extravagant music nor talk too much, it is amazing, I actually used those quiet moments to truly, deeply absorb the information u were giving out. thank you❤️💖✨
A few days ago , youtube guided me to your videos. I think it is a blessing to me. Since then i ve been watching your videos before going to bed. Every day, I fall into sleep ,thankful for everything small that i have. Thank you so much for giving these moments to me. Please understand my english is not perfect. I just want to express my gratitude. :-)
I have 29 plants staying in the same room and yesterday I gave them water all at once. The room heated up so quick and out of the plants came a lot positive energy. It felt like they are happy and wanted to show me their love 🥲 I never saw this before
Beautiful! I read that plants love rainwater the most (make sense!) and keep trying to remember to leave my watering cans out to collect it for my indoor ones.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Reminds me of something I read written by a very wise person. "Do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives. Such striving may seem admirable, but it is the way of foolishness. Help them instead to find the wonder and the marvel of an ordinary life. Show them the joy of tasting tomatoes, apples and pears. Show them how to cry when pets and people die. Show them the infinite pleasure in the touch of a hand. And make the ordinary come alive for them. The extraordinary will take cae of itself."
The simple things are what makes life so amazing! Loving your content Sophie! :) could you create a video on kitchen minimalism, groceries you stock up on and also your favorite recipes that you make for you and your husband each week? Im usually the one cooking at home for my husband and myself. I’m trying to find ways not to get so overwhelmed in the kitchen and keep within a budget but enjoy the time that I’m in there. I used to love cooking! We moved into a smaller space and it has been difficult to get used to. Any tips you have are greatly appreciated! :)
Thank you for watching and for the suggestion! That's a great idea 🥰 Of course I don't have a perfect system but would love to share me method in case it can help! Look out for it in future videos. Thanks Jessie ❤
Soooo relaxing 👌🏼😌 giving me all the good vibes 🍃 one of my favorite moments is walking up to my home and smelling the pikake i planted recently. Its absolutely heavenly
Wow before clicking this video, I did not expect all these little things. I expected like jogging, yoga, reading books, etc. But This reminded me so much to take a pause and see the little things around me, and be in awe, inspired to experience life as we know that we have now.
Sophie, this list makes me more realize there're tons of simply little things add to our joy and happiness. I truly enjoy this relaxing vlog, as always you're so appreciated
Honey,I felt incredibly relaxed watching your video.just got home from work (I work nights) & I really needed this! Your voice is so calming too.keep making these wonderful videos.Blessings to you.
Hi Sophie! This video is so deep and relaxing, everything you mentioned is so like me, sometimes we just need to listen to nature and enjoy the little things. For me listening to the birds' singing is one of my daily disconnecting moments, also being outside and having fresh air or writing my journal. I think we can all think of little things that give us life and motivation but daily problems leave us exhausted and I think we need more "me" time and less noise and internet. Thank yo so much for all of your videos :)
I so relate to this vlog! This is honestly how I find peace and calm in my life these days. I constantly say to my family and friends, life is all about the little things! And the great thing about it is, you can find joy in almost anything. The list is endless. This is the beauty of the simplicity of life. Seek joy everyday ✨️ 💖 🙏🏽
Absolutely loved this relaxing vlog! Some of my favourite things are going on a hike in nature and chilling at the beach listening to the relaxing sounds of the ocean and contemplating life! 🙏🏻💞
I like to sit in my chair by the window in my bedroom and since there is always a breeze where I live I crack the window open just a little to hear the howl of the wind coming in through the screen. I try to sit without thoughts and enjoy watching the leaves on the young trees next to my house moving around with the wind and also watching the hummingbirds, butterflies and bees on the flowers on those same trees
Thank you so much for such calming videos, i'm always recommending your videos to all my friends:) I find your videos very grounding and peaceful in my hectic schedule, I wish i could meet you real life xxx sending you love from Korea xxx
wowow i love the cinematography in this video!!! what a good video idea & I love taking joy in simple moments. The simplest moments can actually FEEL the grandest to us
This is a soothing and relaxing vlog. I just recently have realized the importance of appreciating the little things in the middle of this pandemic. Thank you for this.
I just found this channel. Definitely worth watching. I love strawberries, golden hour, cotton candy clouds and sound of turning pages too. My fave part is when you're running towards that big tree. This is so relaxing vlog. I appreciate it. ❤️🍃💞😍🥰
Such a wonderful video that puts me in a good and appreciative mood! ❤🍀 For me, some of the things are watching my plants grow and taking care of them, sleeping in fresh sheets, drinking chamomile tea, rediscovering music that I used to love, talking to my grandparents, feeling loved by my friends, having an inside joke with someone, the smell and sound of (heavy) rain, cleaning my space, doing reflective writing, the feeling of saving money, enjoying healthy and delicious vegan food. 😊
Finding joy in the little things literally changes everything about life...
It really does. Perspective is so powerful
You're what makes life beautiful 🔥♥️
It's always easy to enjoy the little things in life when you do not have to struggle or if you do not lose your job to the pandemic or your finances have not dwindled down to nothing. Everything is always beautiful if life is going your way, but how will you react if you are stuck in the middle of a storm, the boat is being tossed side to side, the waves are getting taller and the wind is blowing in every direction. Will you be able to enjoy life at that point? Who do you trust when the storm is ready to flip over your boat?
@Joy and the World just something to think about.
@Joy and the World - I'm not talking about not being thankful in the midst of hardships. I'm trying to tell you and others, it's easy to talk about enjoying the so called, simple things in life when you have everything you need or want.

She is a princess living a fairytale life. This is the point I'm trying to make.
I love the smell of the earth as rain hits the ground, especially when it hasn’t rained in a long time...petrichor.
Ah that smell is unforgettable ❤
Always been one of my faves also
that moment when it starts raining on a hot summer afternoon... everything just becomes so much better all around
I love the sound of the chirping in the mornings, the sound of waves, the smell of rain, seeing plants grow, seeing the fishes swim next to me as I snorkel; my list can go on forever 😊💕
Oh yes!! love all that you mentioned. Feeling grateful lately for everything 🥰 thank you so much Deandra
I used to love the smell and sound of rain....until it flooded my basement. Now I am in fear of those smell and sound :'(
@@mbank3832 I understand how that can happen, every year during Hurricane season we have a fear of our homes being flooded and blown away, but we don't like the fear overcome us as we do know it is needed for life to go on. I hope you find joy in the rain again. 😊💕
@@mbank3832 Yes, it depends on the context. Sorry, but you did elicit a lol instant...
Same! This is my dream life
It’s really the simple things in life. Blue sky and water sounds are my favorite ☀️ 🌊
Mine too :) it'll never get old! thanks Nicole
sameee
Water and a slight breeze in the hot summer.
I guess we don't really realize how the small things really make such an amazing impact in our lives.
It really does make all the difference ❤ thanks Ruana

Your vlogs are like a film I'm watching, fully immersed in them
Thank you so much ❤ that's so kind

Since this video was a year ago and my comment is so very long,.. not likely anyone will read it but the writing of it is not the purpose. The thoughts, visions, calm, peacefulness I experienced with the music,.. brought a warm, tender calm to me. Reminding me of how wonderful life around me truly is and how grateful I am to be able to notice, appreciate and drink in the experiences of that life I now live. With that,.. I say thank you. Not a subscriber but a big fan of at least the few videos I've stumbled across. You are truly a good soul. May you always find fulfillment in everything you do. Mostly,.. I wish you peace, good health and a happy life full of contentment and joy.
The sound of the wind blowing through the tress in the summer is my favorite
This makes me happy fow everything. The little things are really everything.
walking in rainy evenings, sitting around the breeze, feeding little chirps on your windows, the smell of the very first rain of the year, the winter night walks and so many things to be grateful for :)
That is so lovely :) Life is beautiful if we really pay attention
hi i’m from philippines. you & your videos are just too precious. thank you so much for being my therapy, just want u to know that your channel is my “go to” everytime i feel unmotivated in life. you are a life saver just by being yourself. keep spreading positive vibes, always be here to support you. ily!!!!
Thank you so much Karren 💕 your words mean a lot to me! So happy it means a lot to you. I have so much I want to share :)
Dear Sophie,
Thank you so much for the video.
For the past two days, your videos made me relaxed, compassionate, lovable and much more...
A warm hug to you, and keep going.
Love you so much❤
So peaceful to watch
Yes, totally agree with everything on this video. I like the feeling of getting this peace within me appreciating these "small things in life". That is pure bliss honestly.
what a lovely video. I once read about a journal exercise where you write down the 10 things that make you happiest on a daily or weekly basis. This helps you realize the moments and things that matter to you and helps you let go of the things that dont (ie material objects that dont actually make you happy) Some of mine are: walking my dog, coffee in the morning, making dinner with my husband, driving or walking by the ocean, etc. This video reminds me of that exercise :)
I want to practice gratitude more each day! I definitely feel more content than ever about my own life :) I love everything on your list!! especially love that no matter where we are in the world, these precious moments can connect us
I was smiling through the whole video!! Specially after you mentioned "having the whole park by yourself" and "long car drives with your loved one".
Last week on a friday I went on a bike ride with my boyfriend and 2 other close people and we drove along those green forest kind of roads and the scenery we usually see when travelling through trains!
We drove about 40 kms and reached a sea side which was sooooo beautiful! And we also saw the sunset. Aaannd, there were very few people so it felt like we had the whole sitting area by ourselves!
Me and my boyfriend are going through tough times and that outing was all we needed to clear our minds & feel at peace. I was soooo blushing when I saw those points hehe 🙈🙈☺☺
Anyways, you have truly cultivated the art of enjoying small things. This was a lovely video! Thank you for this and I'm still smiling hehe 🥰❤
I love coming across those precious encounters! that sounds so amazing and so romantic too :) thank you so much lovely 🥰
@@MalamaLife yaayyy yes a different kind of romance 🥰
Sending you love! ❤
I love this relaxation and it keeps me relax & calm
I love the beautiful sounds from the ocean, birds
chirping in the morning and rain and makes me
feel good and remember good memories 💕💕💕
I thought I was the only one who loved the smell of old books📚 ❤️
Love it so much! Better than new books in my opinion 😚❤
@@MalamaLife DEFINITELY!!
I'm obsessed with that smell! 😍
I too, hahhaa
I love the smell of old books and newspapers since childhood
Watching your videos make me feel peaceful in my mind and heart! Thank you Malama! ❤️ 🥰
Lovely reminder… sometimes we r too involved in finding the perfect life to be happy. we miss out on little things that can make us smile. Thank You
It was so calming and therapeutic. I was actually transported to a different world. Thanks for creating such content :)
Thank you so much for watching 🥰 so happy to hear that
The world needs to watch this.
I love tulips ... Sophie
They greet us briefly~
each morning. Giving us perspective
#27 the road thru the forest on our way up North 💝
That's lovely 😍
This is like a reminder for me to see the beauty of the simple things in life, the things that we often miss, things that we normally didn't care of. Thank you ❤️
So true for me too. There's so much little things I should pay attention more every single day we breathe
Her videos remind me of Terrence Malick films. Slow, surreal, ethereal, contemplative, with Maui as such an ideal backdrop and that Chopin style piano quietly playing in the background. Sure reminds me of my bygone days out there. Makes me wonder why I ever left.
🥰 thank you so much
My favorite thing is a combo of little pleasures. Sitting on my back porch in the mornings, sipping coffee, my big doggies at my feet, looking out at beautiful green grass and trees, enjoying my plants and flowers, feeling the soft breezes, thinking, praying, and being thankful to my Heavenly Father 🥰
Of course I didn't enjoy the life like I would like, but I'm becoming better every single day and it's so good, I'm happy and grateful
so happy for you :) being grateful opens my eyes to everything I have in my life
You don't know how badly I needed this video. I was just sitting here feeling so sad and sorry for myself because something I truly wanted sold out before I could buy it. It's not something I even need and honestly cannot justify the cost, but it broke my heart that I cannot afford it. I'm only partway through your video and feel so much better because I too treasure these types of moments (and far more than the collectible I want). I needed this reminder. Thank you. 🤗⚘
So sorry to hear that! I also have a hard time letting go of those missed opportunities. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video. Thank you Susan ❤
🤗🌸☀️
Your dogs are the cutest! They bring so much joy to our lives =) I love pretty much everything you described in this video. Thanks for the reminder!
They are just the best! 😁 they're truly the center of my days. Thank you so much Lynn
Thank you for remembering the really good things of life aren't things.
I am so glad that I found this creator! You have no idea how much you inspire me so much ! Cheers for more content. With love from Davao del Sur, Philippines❤
New sprout 🌱 of the plant...really makes everyone feel happiest!!!
It is my favorite.
Thank you so much for making this video, as well as all the other videos you make!
As someone with an anxiety problem, your videos help calm me when I feel overwhelmed.
Very beautiful relaxing video. I've learned to live slowly and to enjoy the little things, the quiet and the calm. I have a difficult time being in noisy, crowded places and I don't do well under pressure. The slow and quiet life is best for me!
Thank you Monica ❤😊
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video Sophie, although life has been challenging lately, realise how truly uptight I was feeling until I watched this - You live in a beautiful place, I hope to be able to move away from where I had to come back to in the near future and back somewhere near the sea where I can feel more peaceful ❤
Living by the sea is such a blessing! Anytime I feel upset or stressed, seeing the ocean makes it better somehow ❤ thank you for watching!
Love how relaxing your Vlogs are :) Inspiring me to pursue minimalism.
Thank you :) happy to hear that!
first video of yours that I watch.. just discovered ur channel an I am definitely gonna jump into this community its so calm especially after a long day.
and the way u didn't feel pressure to add extravagant music nor talk too much, it is amazing, I actually used those quiet moments to truly, deeply absorb the information u were giving out. thank you❤️💖✨
A few days ago , youtube guided me to your videos. I think it is a blessing to me. Since then i ve been watching your videos before going to bed. Every day, I fall into sleep ,thankful for everything small that i have. Thank you so much for giving these moments to me. Please understand my english is not perfect. I just want to express my gratitude. :-)
I have 29 plants staying in the same room and yesterday I gave them water all at once. The room heated up so quick and out of the plants came a lot positive energy. It felt like they are happy and wanted to show me their love 🥲 I never saw this before
I love that so much 🥰 they were all thanking you for the water! As crazy as this sounds, I feel it from my plants sometimes haha
Beautiful! I read that plants love rainwater the most (make sense!) and keep trying to remember to leave my watering cans out to collect it for my indoor ones.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Reminds me of something I read written by a very wise person.
"Do not ask your children
to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
but it is the way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder
and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting
tomatoes, apples and pears.
Show them how to cry
when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure
in the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take cae of itself."
The simple things are what makes life so amazing! Loving your content Sophie! :) could you create a video on kitchen minimalism, groceries you stock up on and also your favorite recipes that you make for you and your husband each week? Im usually the one cooking at home for my husband and myself. I’m trying to find ways not to get so overwhelmed in the kitchen and keep within a budget but enjoy the time that I’m in there. I used to love cooking! We moved into a smaller space and it has been difficult to get used to. Any tips you have are greatly appreciated! :)
Thank you for watching and for the suggestion! That's a great idea 🥰 Of course I don't have a perfect system but would love to share me method in case it can help! Look out for it in future videos. Thanks Jessie ❤
Thank you for taking the time to post this. Life is so busy and you are a good role model to us all. And ur dogs are too.
Soooo relaxing 👌🏼😌 giving me all the good vibes 🍃 one of my favorite moments is walking up to my home and smelling the pikake i planted recently. Its absolutely heavenly
Thank you so much Brandon 🥰 always appreciate you watching! ahhh that sounds so lovely. I have pikake in my front yard and it's so heavenly
Oh how fun! I don’t know that kind of plant 🌱
Mine is watching my little veggie garden 🪴
Wow before clicking this video, I did not expect all these little things. I expected like jogging, yoga, reading books, etc. But This reminded me so much to take a pause and see the little things around me, and be in awe, inspired to experience life as we know that we have now.
This is what life outside of adhd feels like, love and support for all of you out there
"So satisfying to see the vacuum fill up"
me: yep!
Haha 🥰❤
Sophie, this list makes me more realize there're tons of simply little things add to our joy and happiness. I truly enjoy this relaxing vlog, as always you're so appreciated
Honey,I felt incredibly relaxed watching your video.just got home from work (I work nights) & I really needed this! Your voice is so calming too.keep making these wonderful videos.Blessings to you.
Thank you you much! Sending much love from Maui
Hi Sophie! This video is so deep and relaxing, everything you mentioned is so like me, sometimes we just need to listen to nature and enjoy the little things. For me listening to the birds' singing is one of my daily disconnecting moments, also being outside and having fresh air or writing my journal. I think we can all think of little things that give us life and motivation but daily problems leave us exhausted and I think we need more "me" time and less noise and internet. Thank yo so much for all of your videos :)
I also feel the most happy when I disconnect and just use my other senses :) thank you so much for sharing and for your kind comment ❤🥰
@@MalamaLife Totally, our senses are so important, thank you for being so nice.
This video is such a masterpiece, a beautiful piece of art
I so relate to this vlog! This is honestly how I find peace and calm in my life these days. I constantly say to my family and friends, life is all about the little things! And the great thing about it is, you can find joy in almost anything. The list is endless. This is the beauty of the simplicity of life. Seek joy everyday ✨️ 💖 🙏🏽
Hypnotizing. Like psychoterapist session. Can't stop watching your videos. After it I could sleep peacefully
This is so beautiful and soothing🥺 thank you... I haven't been feeling so well lately. This video was so comforting💫
Absolutely loved this relaxing vlog! Some of my favourite things are going on a hike in nature and chilling at the beach listening to the relaxing sounds of the ocean and contemplating life! 🙏🏻💞
I also spend way too much time contemplating life 🥰 especially looking out to the ocean! haha Also love hiking. thank you Jackie!
@@MalamaLife 🙏🏻🥰
I find it surreal and relaxing to watch a video. Good job
🥰 thank you so much
Your videos have changed my life. Thank you.
🥺❤️
I like to sit in my chair by the window in my bedroom and since there is always a breeze where I live I crack the window open just a little to hear the howl of the wind coming in through the screen. I try to sit without thoughts and enjoy watching the leaves on the young trees next to my house moving around with the wind and also watching the hummingbirds, butterflies and bees on the flowers on those same trees
😍❤️
This video= instant mood booster. Thanks for making this :) Beautiful vid
Thank you 😊❤ glad you enjoyed it!
Reading, journaling, riding my bike, doing yoga, praying, positive affirmations.
affirmations help so much
Simple things that sometimes we took for granted however I think during pandemic it made us enjoy and appreciate again.
I agree with with completely ❤ now I am reminding myself to appreciate everything
Thank you so much for such calming videos, i'm always recommending your videos to all my friends:) I find your videos very grounding and peaceful in my hectic schedule, I wish i could meet you real life xxx sending you love from Korea xxx
Thank you so much for sharing Chrisy! That means a lot to me. I'm so happy I have viewers from Korea :) much love from Maui ❤❤❤
wowow i love the cinematography in this video!!! what a good video idea & I love taking joy in simple moments. The simplest moments can actually FEEL the grandest to us
I feel that way for sure :) just a perspective change, but I'm so much more content with my life. Thank you Sophia! so happy you liked this one
How beautiful this video is ... there was a smile throughout and especially when one those things has brought you joy in ones life....
Aww I'm so happy to hear that 🥰 thank you for your comment
This is a soothing and relaxing vlog. I just recently have realized the importance of appreciating the little things in the middle of this pandemic. Thank you for this.
This is the best calming video I have ever seen . The best💙
Your voice is the calmest thing 😚
I love your videos because they are so so relaxing
Thank you! So glad to hear that it's soothing ❤ really sweet of you
@@MalamaLife wish you many more success dear 💛
Thanks for your videos , it relax me 😊
I especially like the carpet art I make after vacuuming and polished nails in the morning when I painted them the night before.
It's true.. Little things make you happy if you are a person of positive personality
🥰❤ so true
I just found this channel. Definitely worth watching. I love strawberries, golden hour, cotton candy clouds and sound of turning pages too. My fave part is when you're running towards that big tree. This is so relaxing vlog. I appreciate it. ❤️🍃💞😍🥰
Such a wonderful video that puts me in a good and appreciative mood! ❤🍀 For me, some of the things are watching my plants grow and taking care of them, sleeping in fresh sheets, drinking chamomile tea, rediscovering music that I used to love, talking to my grandparents, feeling loved by my friends, having an inside joke with someone, the smell and sound of (heavy) rain, cleaning my space, doing reflective writing, the feeling of saving money, enjoying healthy and delicious vegan food. 😊
Life is beautiful when lived simply 😌
🥰 so true
