    i've always been fascinated with the idea of taking your time in this thing called life. i've met a handful of people who seems to be happy and content and i realized it's because they're in no rush to do or try things that don't really matter or don't add up to them as a person. i guess what i'm saying is life still happens during the slow moments, you know? slowing down is not stagnation. there's no shame in going through the mundanity of life because everyone eventually does, and the more we realize that those moments are not just the "in-betweens", the more we will be at peace.

    This video is aesthetically very pleasing and gives off a vibe of tranquility. It made me reflect on the pace of my own life. With this kind of quality, I am surprised this channel has not been discovered by a wider audience yet. Please continue making these kinds of videos, you are very talented!

    I read the quote by C.S. Lewis almost a year ago now, and I remember pausing and thinking, "Wow." Just that, but still. I had forgotten about it but then stumbled upon this video, which could not have come at a more perfect time. So many big things are happening in my life that the small, mundane things have become like background noise. You have reminded me to stop and be present. I think that there is happiness to be found in the magic of life in the smallest things, like sharing tears with a friend, being served or serving your family or friends, going to work, consuming and creating art, and waking up in the morning. Life is magical! Thanks for the reminder ;)

    im a teenager, ill try, i need to try, life is way ahead of boys, school drama, looks, grades. life is the art of simplicity, life isnt exerting yourself everyday, or sitting on the corner, gaming every hour. life is doing what you enjoy, by that i mean getting sunlight, laghing atleast once a day. thankyou riza, this helped, ill try honestly.

    Soooo beautiful! This really is a season of slowing down; It's hard not to get caught up in the eye of the storm sometimes, feeling like we're stagnant while everything moves chaotically around us, pulling us in every direction!

  • @jeezzlouisee

    This really resonated with me. I was so hungry for the life I looked forward to. I was ready to take on whatever life had to offer. I was ready for life to begin. But life gives us exactly what we need. I am currently in my gap year. I cried so hard for I thought this made me lost track of whatever was waiting for me. Right now, in the gap year I loathed, I see myself evolving. Trying things I’ve never done before. I’m more patient and my vision for my future is much clearer. I am not falling behind, I’m just slowing down and growing as I go.❤

    It took me a month of me finally being on my own to learn this ❤ if you don't find joy in the small things, the big things when you get them, won't matter as much as you thought they would. You'd have nothing to look forward to once you reach the top and fall into an empty void ❤

    As an interior designer I also feel the same way, everything I design should look perfect or else I will feel like I'm lacking something. But then I've figured out that enjoying every step of designing or creating a video makes the whole sense. When I started to pay attention to my efforts and appreciating them is when I finally felt proud of my work💕💕

    I left my laptop to play your videos while cleaning my photos app for storage, I didn't know by the end of it I'd feel emotional. while also looking at the many memories and people in the photos I'm seeing and swiping across my screen. I always pushed photo albums aside, and I'll take this as a sign to do it. I missed physically touching big and heavy photo albums flipping the pages, I loved seeing handwriting on photos, may it be who the people in the photo are, the place, what was happening, etc. a piece of that moment written permanently. photos that permanently carry a piece of the past. This feels like free therapy and gave me a nudge.

    I realized this is what's truly important in life. To focus, to relax and to wait. Rushing can be very damaging to really anything. Whether it be relationships, job opportunities, immediate decisions that feel like you HAVE to answer them.
    Just. Relax.
    And be patient.
    I've made countless mistakes just by rushing. It's something that should be gradually developed and not something that is forced. It hurts not just me but the other person as well. I hope this lesson is a reminder from now until the rest of my life to just, slow down.
    I don't care who's doing better
    I don't care who's in a relationship
    I don't care about the what ifs and what nots.
    And if it's right for me, I'll take that chance and take it slow.

    "On some days, i feel overwhelmed. Thinking i'm not doing enough, and at the same time, feeling like everyone else is doing so much more. But, is it worth doing other things, if it means doing more, even if it's not really what you want to be doing"
    Yeah i get what you mean. The world is filled with so many responsibilities and adversities it feels like you don't have time to think straight and it overwhelms you. Each day that goes by you feel like there are other people revolving around your life that have so much more to do, a lot more significant things to accomplish. And you're right, sometimes society expects you to do a lot of things. Such as going to school, going to university to get a degree just to confine yourself to a job that you're obligated to work at everyday for currency. After you've studied for so many years and gained the respectable degree to partake in a high-paying job, what then? You make a lot of money, but what are you gonna use that money for after you've already exhausted everything you've been wanting to do? Doesn't life seem so obsolete after that? It's a matter of perspective and how someone perceives life. But that's just my opinion on this current system.

    Yeah! You're right, girl! This is what I've been focusing on recently... to simply enjoy the little things and just exist ✨️ Although I used to be a freak planner who's fighting to get all the so-called important things in life, I'm slowing it down these days and I'm trying to find peace at every single ordinary moment of being a human 🌱 Thank you for your aesthetic video 🫶

    God gave His people the Sabbath day of rest for a reason. We are not made to be a rush. We are not made to work 7 days a week. Rest is a gift and was a commandment. Even if you do not practice Shabbat (I'm a Christian and do not observe it), having an attitude of rest and giving one day out of 7 to the Lord will allow you to be more restful and productive in your everyday life.

    Riza, I really appreciate your acknowledgement of losing your sense of play in creativity, getting caught up, and forgetting to recognize the small parts that make up our lives. I resonate with a lot with this approach to life and I've been making a lot of effort the last few years to sprinkle my week with chances for interactions, learning, and reflection. I hope you're still taking this perspective with you moving forward and thank you for putting this thoughtful reminder into words!

    I definitely needed this. I felt like my head has been muddled with all my perceived problems in college, that I only saw this tangled mess when I started journaling about it. I'm afraid that the fog will come back to haunt my head, and it probably will, but I will relish in this feeling of clarity and peace after watching your video:))

    Hi, funny how on a sunday morning ( Philippine time) , locking myself in the bathroom, with a book and some sticky notes hoping I could have some peace , I was just about to browse some feel good music to get me going but this came on my recommendation and I'M LOVING IT.
    Maybe because I'm a journal-person , I don't have many friends, but got much to say , so I tend to really talk to myself through my journals, and this really amazed me.
    This place feels like coming home .
    Thank you Riza 🤍

    I've been curious about slowing down. I was watching this video and was getting frustrated, because I feel that I'm unable to. With kids and obligations it's daunting to find time for yourself. But there are moments in between where maybe I can steal a little bit of time for appreciation and observation. I'm gonna try and schedule some more time for chilling. Great video! I'm glad I found this channel.

    people often find themselves confused and not in a clear state of mind... Iam trying to find the happiness and peace but what truly is that Iam trying to figure out day by day, sometimes as you said I too feel overwhelmed, and feel like Iam worth of nothing but as I think practically life has more things and that keeps me moving on and let all things pass, forgetting something and moving on is the most difficult thing ever but the fact that we build courage and ignore things for better keeps us more closer to self love.........
