Happy Birthday Lana🌺
Happy Birthday Lana. Thank you for your videos. They're our gifts from you!
God is in everyone and everything, after the winter comes the spring ,
The bells of joy start to ring ,
Rebirth of livelihood is a wonderful thing ,
The divine is here , there and everywhere,
For all of us , God would care ,
Dare to believe that life is fair ,
In the darkness of the night,
Stars could be shining bright,
The moonlight shows up on sight ,
Being from the divine light ,
Things are marvelous and white,
With God , by your side , nothing to fear and nothing to fright,
Gather in love and with the almighty God unite ,
Our powers we gather and
May almighty God , the warm flames of justice and love in the world ignite
Habit that calms me:
1. Watching Lana's videos and listening to her angelic voice... 😇
Yes! Sometimes when I'm really stressed or anxious, I watch her videos just to hear her voice.
So true 💜
I would say you don't need a video at all, having in mind this voice. Try to just listen to it!
Yes, certainly
oh yes
I really enjoy those jogs where I forget my headphones... then I can just listen to nature & my own thoughts. Always get a few good ideas too and remember things I had forgotten.
Dude what r u doin here (as a millionaire)
Hey TeachLead I love your video as a millionaire
Man what are u doing here( as a millionaire)
omg yes me too (as a millionaire)
TechLead i hate you (as a trillionaire)
1. early morning yoga
2. studying language
3. going on long walks
4. reading more
Lana I understand your anxiousness when you think about the fact that you can’t possibly learn everything there is in a lifetime, but I try to have another perspective that actually makes me very happy: there will always be new interesting things to learn and to experience, and something new to make you excited. When you’re someone that is curious and interested in so many things, that means that life will never be boring to you and you can always learn something new. I think your curiosity is something to cherish en to be grateful for 😊
Omg this is so true! Totally forgot i used to look at my to do list like that. Of course it is never empty, that would be so weird, not having anthing i would want to do? That is impossible.
So i love your reminder and the nuance with learning new things. Can't imagine knowin everything, then what?
So cool, thanks!
I also think that knowing too much can be a bad counterintuitive thing too sometimes! 🤐
@@4leafclover853 yes and that's when we can say.... Ignorance is a bliss
🥺🥺🥺🥺
Thank you for this!!
*i learned that what we seek is not happiness but contentment because a sense of peace is more long-lasting*
Yes, contentment feel more like a choice! It feels we have a say!
“why the hell did I ever stop”? I would be good at so many things if I just kept going
i feel that.

Habits that calm me:
1: yoga
2: listening to music
3: learning languages
4: reading good stories
5: drinking tea
Alright. These 5 habits for me are:
1) Cleaning my studio first thing in the morning - very therapeutic and I consider it my first small "win" for the day
2) Praying and reading Quran - connecting with my faith is just so soothing to the soul
3) Updating my planner - gives me a sense of control and some sort of an overview of my week
4) Talking to my loved one - instantly calms my anxiety just having a solid support system, even if it is just one person
5) Long and warm showers - last but definitely not the least. I like to think showering is free therapy
Bonus: washing the dishes, I can meditate without too many "thought bubbles" floating around about how unproductive I am or whatnot, because washing dishes for me is productive.
P.S. These might be the bare minimum for some but it is not for me. But hey, we're all here because we want to feel calm, don't we?
Thanks again for sharing, Lana.
Staying calm allows you to think logically and take decisions accordingly. Clarity of mind is extremely important while you are dealing with problems. If your mind is free and relaxed, your clarity on thoughts shall provide the solution to you. Staying calm allows you to discuss things rather than fights👍
Teaching online for free and getting positive feedback from people around the globe makes me feel calm and happy!
😃 🍀
I agree with you 😄
What do you teach?
Like what?
A calm state of mind: "Being able to experience the moment for what it is, without disruptive thoughts." - Lana Blakely, 2021
Seriously, an achievement to be proud of amidst all our day-to-day happenings.
Watching your videos Calms me.
I feel extremely calm when I learn languages. Many people think I "study" a language like it is a subject in school/university. But that's not true. It makes me feel okay with making mistakes while learning a new word/phrase in that language because I know I will be happy when I get it right later.
I can relate to your thought about wanting to read and learn everything and then realising the finite amount of time we have on this planet,but that also makes me appreciate more the books and the info i get.
Calmness comes with wisdom of self.
But a lot of ppl are uncertain and anxious about the unknown.
Great video lana 👍
Easier said than done.
P R I Y A N K A yes truuu
So true 💜
This
It’s calming to me to watch you happily sharing these habits ❤️
:)) ❤️
I love it when I’m studying a textbook, when I get into a made bed, watering my plants,
Organizing my bookshelf, flipping through favorite books, sewing, crafting, stretching, etc. One of my favorite things is when I cheer and were stunting, the feeling in your muscles as you throw a basket or hit a stunt is surreal. Of course to top the list is praying, it’s just so comforting and I get to thank GOD for all the things that make life so great.
I really like the last part what u said there about thanking god for being able to experience all of the things. Gratitude is so powerful 🙏❤️ I’m really happy for u that ur able to do all of those things and live a happy life 😊
Just signed up for the newsletter! Watching Lana's videos calms me. But reading and learning from comments by her audience also calm my mind. Her audience is full of considerate and inspiring persons! To me. a moment in which calming of mind matters is when I see somebody expresses her anger towards me. I used to react with anger in those instances, but recently I feel almost no anger, as a result of, I guess, my mindfulness practice. Lately, instead of being angry, my mind is calm even in the midst of a turbulence of unsettling feelings of the other. Thank you for offering a wonderful addition to the peaceful moments of my life.
I'm so glad that I found you! I can relate to you a lot as an INFJ, overthinker and anxious person.. I love your videos with tips on overthinking and anxiety and I hope that you'll make some more soon!
Love it! Al of the activities mentioned basically require you to have a single-pointed focus... and usually when the mind has something else to focus on, it lets go of the anxious thoughts (coz the mind can’t think of two things at the same time)... and hence you feel calmer! 🙌
Happy birthday Lana !
Thank you so much for this video 🥰🤍
Lana, thank you for your presence on UA-cam. You have impacted my life greatly. I deal with anxiety and depression and so often your videos are just my lifeline. The calmness you exude just resonates with the inner me. You are loved. You are amazing. You are enough. ❤
Your thinking and your thoughts are very calming.
Lana has the most calmest voice ever🥰
Do you agree ?
Yes
True
Happy bday Lana! so glad I came across your channel in my most needed time, you radiate calmness and make me go back to consistently do journalling and yoga. Stay safe and healthy ❤️
thank you for everything you do 🥺
Love you and your energy ❤️
To calm myself, I do yoga too. I also find meditations and psychology very helpful while dealing with my anxiety.
For me to keep mentally calm and happy, I meditate every morning, do yoga every morning, run 3 times a week and complete 5 hiit workouts a week. Oh, and I also journal every night too ❤️ P.S Happy Birthday Lana! I hope you’ve had the loveliest day. Sending hugs from Manchester, England x
Att läsa en bok framför en öppen spis gör mig superlugn 😊 tack för de fina tipsen, uppskattar verkligen dina videon!
Samma här
Låter hur härligt som helst :) Tack snälla
You're definitely that calming presence I gravitate to when i feel overwhelmed with busy days - days spent in a crazy work frenzy. But reading - reading and journaling has definitely calmed me since I was 10 years old and they still work for me 13 years later ✨
I legit listen to Lana’s videos Bc her voice and demeanor is so serene and calming
Just watching Lana is already make us feel calm.
I love everything you said, and I so relate to feeling anxious about all the books I'll never read or all the things I'll never learn. But then I realize that's not a thing; it's a gift to have so much love for something like learning and reading. I take my kindle to bed, too, instead of my phone! And it helps. I also always carry a book with me if I go anywhere, so it never bothers me when people are late -- I just get extra time to read. Walks and nature also make me feel better, like you said just being fully present in this moment without disruptions. Thank you for your beautiful video and soothing presence.
just your voice in each of your video makes me feel calm.
Im in love with how humble you are, when you talk about certain topics or give an advice you always remind who watches the video that you’re a human just like us .. i love that
Your videos calm me! You inspire me too☺️
the cake looks scrumptious. Btw, it has always been relaxing hearing you talk about anything with us. Also, I'm starting to read a lot this year, and at the same time, do other hobbies and find new ones as well.
whenever i watch your videos it reminds me of how big the world is and how there are a lot of things that are bound to happen for me in the future, it makes me think how great it is to live, to live for the hope of it all
Hey Lana GREAT VIDEO!......Writing brings me calm more than anything else...With my thoughts directing towards constructing sentences I find myself absolutely immersed in it. I believe a powerful story works like a magical tool that has the potential to hijack our mind and take us to another place.
Happy Birthday for yesterday! The snow there looks great. It's sunny in the UK for a change so I'm going on a nice long walk. If I was doing a list of things that calm me 'watching Lana Blakely videos' would have to be on the list. So many relatable things in this video I'll not bore you with but a little advice for books and walks, if you're going daily to places you go regularly and you've took in the scenery many times already then an audiobook is quite good because you focus on that while wandering without distractions. The audiobook format works better than reading in certain circumstances, I listened to Dune last year and I would not have enjoyed reading it as much as listening to it, plus it would have took a large portion of my reading time and sometimes certain books are a little daunting and put you off reading when you still have 600 pages left, this was voiced by different characters, had ambient music and sounds, and it made it easier just having all the weird names and places pronounced. I usually listen to music at home too but UA-cam has a lot of interesting short audiobooks (some an hour or less, some about 4 hours), for the slower ones you can put the speed up as the slow reading might cause you to loose interest at times. They're good for when cleaning or cooking while listening through headphones. Just signed up for your newsletter too 🙂
Your voice is comforting
this calms me! thank u for existing
Simple but effective. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for making this video, I can relate with it. Especially the habit of reading more and more
You inspire me so much Lana. Thank you 🤍 happy birthday beautiful human !!!
Thank you for make this Lana. Sometimes I be wondering how tf you keep it all together. It’s so hard not to get worked up, frazzled, angry, or frustrated...especially when we’re all feeling stagnant from covid lockdowns etc. hopefully this helps a lot of folks.
Your voice is especially angelic in this video💕
thank you!!
All of those are great points. It may be strange, but cleaning/tidying helps me clear my head. The physical clearing of space will help keep my subconscious busy while my mind is free to relax. All with the added benefit of having better kept home.
Probably you heard this before so many times but, really, Lana, your videos make me relax. It's interesting the way you present your ideas, so calm and as a real conversation with a friend.
I hope you make more videos, I really love this channel.
Have a good day from Argentina :)
Thank you for making me calm lana. Your video helps me find peace. Thank you. Ily♥️
Just your voice is calming
I've found mindfully observing thoughts to be the best pathway to peace. Detaching from them and becoming 'the observer' rather than 'the thinker' as Eckhart Tolle says.
Happy birthday dear! I wish you health and hapiness. What an amazing storyteller you are, it's an honor to listen to you. Too wise for your age, which I can painfully relate to. I wish that was a compliment to both of us, yet it's nothing more but an observation of a human trait with both its flaws and perks. Sending you love!
Your videos are so calming and I love the approach you are taking to learn French
This video came at the right time. Im filming my experience quitting alcohol and all these other things are coming up for me. Thank you!
I have your same thought you said on point 4!!!! Life is so short, I don't have enought time to do everything I would do!
I try not to think about it
you inspired me a lot, especially when talked about books and taking it to the bathroom :).
I started reading novels since 2 months ago and I found myself in a huge world of thoughts and ideas.
Thank You, Lana!
I think the thing that calms me the most are your videos.I literally feel like I'm on a different world while watching them.
You're so Thoughtful
It calms me when I’m either painting, drawing, or journaling and while it starts off as a couple of minutes, hours pass by as I sit in silence and the world around me feels as if no time has passed at all.
Awesome video, Lana! Love your videos! You seem calm!
You’re awesome. Love watching your videos, thank you for sharing! ❤️
thanks to you Lana.
from now on i will be learning spanish,
which i wanted to but never thought that it would be something to calm ourselves.
What a nice song "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" And happy belated birthday!
rn what literally keeps me calm is watching your videos, i hope you won't stop creating inspiring videos. other than that, making and drinking coffee, playing video games, watering my plants, feeding my dogs, looking at the horizon, listening to the wind or rain, and reading leisurely.
Your videos and the way talk is SOO calming&soothing, I love it 🥺🤍
I applaud you exposing yourself and your ideas to everyone. It really helps to people in dark times. Keep up the good work!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANA✨
You're so calme and pretty. Thank you for your new video. It's already relaxing to see you 🤗😇❤️
Thanks for this post.This made my day.
i really agree with the fact that learning a language helps you ground yourself, i feel the same too
You're my therapist. watching your videos kill my stress. I love what you do for us. Thank You.
Happy Birthday ❤️🎉
I'm a person who has this weird habit of watching UA-cam at 2x speed but this is a channel where I keep it to the normal speed just because your voice is so soothing and relaxing, it really helps me be more calm, so I've been bingeing your videos lately.
Saaaaameee
I love so much how softly your voice come out, it's relaxing.
You made my morning thank you for your calming positive vibes
What calms me: watching sunrises and sunsets and being out in nature without worrying about a future event or think about something negative from the past❤️
needed this today
Really good video Lana, great start to the month
Thanks Johnny! :)
whenever I feel overwhelmed, i bring myself myself back to the moment by focusing my attention on everything I'm physically feeling, hearing, my surroundings, as well as my breathing-- in short, literally just bringing my wandering and overthinking mind back to my body and taking things one step at a time . I also avoid multitasking these days to help me my focus and be more single-minded/ undivided in my thoughts--- Using the Headspace app/ meditating taught me all these things and the importance of being present in the moment.
Happy birthday, Lana! I'm so grateful that you and your channel exist. You always have such incredible insight and advice to give and I appreciate all the work that you do.
I hope you have a wonderful day and an even better year. ☺
What a sweet comment. Thank you so much
@@LanaBlakely ❤️
Imagine lana doing a vid specifically for her daily calming walks
How cool would that be!!!
You are a true inspiration 🌱
Your videos make me at peace thank you! And please never stop uploading 🥺❤️
Lena has the calmest voice ever 🥰
Lana

Watching Lana’s videos calm me.
Lana, I love your content. Keep up the good work
Happy Birthday Lana, thank you for taking time to be with us on this day. I looked in my inbox and didn't see the newsletter - only then realizing that I hadn't confirmed my subscription! Oh well, I'll get the next one! Thanks again for sharing with us!
You speak what I feel!! Love your videos
This was beautiful. Bless you
Lana. Love from Zurich.
Thanks so much!
I love the aesthetic of your videos 😍
I was drawn to this video because I can always use advice about how to be calmer. I think reading definitely helps. I can feel my breathing slow down when I'm focused on a book.
I love her. Her positive testimony of truths. Her narrative journey is so clear and easy to understand. She is inspiring and truthful about her experience and feeling. I pray that she keeps her journey going. One day she will be successful. I have never doubted God to mold her for who she is to help others. God bless her.
Hey Lana,
You are just amazing.
you have brought such a positivity in my life.
Whenever I listen to you, I just feel that my life is just perfect.
The effect of your video is too good to express into words. Its just the best thing in the world. Thanks a Lot ♥️
+ forgot to wish
Many Many happy returns of the day 😊 🎂
this video was amazing i loved it soooo much.

You inspire me every time i watch you
Love the way you deliver your message 💕 love from Maui
