    I’m an introvert who lives alone so the isolation is nothing new to me and I actively enjoy it. I talk to myself all the time, or perhaps I should say to the air rather than to myself I just have my inner dialogue out loud, but I’m well aware that I do it so it’s ok. I also talk to the radio and tv, but I am most definitely sane. There’s is absolutely nothing wrong with talking to yourself 👍🏻. I enjoy your vlogs and I’m happy to see that you’re alright and thriving. Well done 😊

      I am the same! Live alone, introvert, and talk to myself all the time! I also have 2 indoor cats--talk to them too, and they talk back to me ♥

    • @EgoShredder
      @EgoShredder 4 роки тому +8

      Talking aloud is just another way of externalising and bringing your thoughts into reality. Some people do this by writing their thoughts down on paper, others do it via video vlogs, some write songs and sing them..........and some of us just speak our thoughts to externalise them and step outside them, to more clearly and easily understand them. So anyone who thinks we are mad for doing this, must be mad themselves because they do the same thing inside their heads.

    thank you for the advice, I am an introvert also and I work from home, and alone most of the time, my friends tell me I might go crazy but we introverts can really cope with isolation very well... I actually prefer to be alone when working! take care and good luck with your projects!

    I love your tips for isolation. I laughed out loud at number 3 (talk to yourself). I talk things through when I drive my car. It helps me prepare for some conversations (introvert too), problem solve and vent. I also sing like a madwoman to tunes I love which makes it entertaining to watch other on-coming drivers! Can't wait to see all your projects. Thanks.

    Nice to finally see you Mossy, I keep you in prayer. OBVIOUSLY...'No moss grows under your feet!' You must feel relief over your elevated land berm against moisture = one less problem. The guest house is beautiful! You canNOT tell me that you are not a craftsman. The chickens will have a grand roost/coop! The granary is looking loved/appreciated again. And AHhhh, the 'greens' of Ireland...balm for any drooping spirit. How blessed you are in countless ways, but especially of 'spirit'. I know that it is hard NOT to work on Sundays...but in doing so, you give 'thanks' to thee one who has given you soOOooo much...you also allow your tired body to re-coop! = Double benefit. AND...by so doing...you never get behind...the work waits...the body heals...the blessings are allowed to flow. God Bless you n' yours...and thank-you for giving us an update.

  • @julielparks1304
    @julielparks1304 4 роки тому +14

    Hello, Daniel! I’m a pretty extreme introvert myself. So it’s been illuminating to confirm for myself that, although it’s tempting to imagine escaping all this scariness to live far away from society off the land as self sufficiently as possible, I’m finding myself more attracted to the scenes of drive-by birthday parties for a neighbor, or people sharing music across courtyards and balconies. We all need to think about our own ideal between society and nature. We all need both. I know you chose to live where you do because you are near a small hamlet, and an internet connection. I need to know that when I choose to come out of my shell, that I am within walking distance of a coffee shop, farmers market, and library. A hiking trail nearby is lovely too. And a backyard garden. It certainly is a time of reflection of what is important to each of us. Thanks for allowing all of us to see a different way to be. Knowing how intentional you’ve been about choosing this, and making it happen, allows us all to make sure we do the same with our own dreams.

  • @judithhoy8355
    @judithhoy8355 4 роки тому

    Like the hair! At least we don't have to learn to isolate....I live on my six acres in central Florida...backs up to a state forest. I
    have a small cottage, large barn, garden and lots of pasture. So I really enjoy hearing from you. I have had Border Collie's
    since visiting Scotland and the Shetlands many years ago - can't imagine life without them. I wanted to say that I too make goals every day....and try to finish them. I love to work - I am 75 and maintain my six acres, with a wonderful garden - but, due to our summer heat do not try a summer garden - too many bugs. Can't wait to see your cottage when you show us. Take
    care - hugs to Moss and stay healthy and happy! Judy H.

    I've been thinking about you and wondering when we'd see another video. It was great to see it pop up.
    I too, am an introvert, so staying home and focusing on my homestead even more, has been a gift to me. I have children that normally require me to leave my place much more, than I would choose on my own. I've wondered for awhile if being able to stay home all the time would bring me as much peace and happiness as I imagined it would. It does!!! I love it!
    Great to see your projects. Some similar ones here. Looking forward to more. Best wishes to you also.
