BALANCE - Narrowboat inspired by nature VLOG 36
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2021
- In this vlog I step off board Narrowboat isness and take you for a 15 minute natural walk in nature along the canal towpath. Listen to the birds singing and my feet squelching in the mud! Includes a look at how I balance the highs and lows of my life and how getting that balance has brought me to a good place to be within myself.
The Journey started here... I once lived in the fast lane of life, happily married of 26 years, with two children. That chapter was suddenly shattered by the sudden loss of my wife to cancer, which led me in to depression and homelessness. Waking up in hospital, after attempting to take my own life, with just a suitcase, kayak and bicycle and no money, I've managed to rise up out of the darkness and find happiness and continue my next chapter.
I'm a self taught film maker, and creating these vlogs, it gives me something to do, share my personal experiences as I continue my journey cruising and living life on the canal. Please do consider supporting my channel below... Thank you Dave

Thank you 🙏
Loved that muddy walk! The thought of dealing with muddy clothes/boots in a small space in your beautiful pristine narrowboat 😮
Thanks so much Dave for yet another beautiful therapeutic time to share with us all and help keep us in the most important place to be, in a calm and simple mindset 😊
Love your vlogs, they are very inspirational, thankyou for your words
🙏
A lovely video thank you for sharing 🙏 very enjoyable and still.
Thank you another one of you gems.
Quite simply Thank you ever so much for all you do 🙏
🙏
Dave
Thank you 💛 🙏
My son who was a manic party animal in the entertainment industry came to stay for a few months. He couldn't sit still when he first came. After a few months he was completely relaxed. When he went back he said something changed in him. He's a different person now. There's an energy in nature which nourishes the body and mind. It becomes addictive.
🙏
Totally agree with you! The best medicine out there is free!
Glad he got the chance to experience that! Hope you have a great day!
I like watching these in the evening as I'm winding down or sometimes during the day if I need to slow down or meditate. I have some of your vlogs in my meditation list. I didn't wake up in a hospital but after several times of having a knife to my throat over a year and a half period of time and then loosing my best friend and life partner because he couldn't deal with me and the hole I was in. I'm slowly climbing out these last few years. My body is healing. My mind is healing. I'm learning new mental and life habits. It's still a struggle at times but so much easier. Thank you for sharing and thank you for creating these vlogs.
So pleased to hear my videos help you 🙏 and thank you for sharing with us your story. 🙏
Lovely video, i am going through a bad time, my wife is terminally ill with motor neuron disease, i look after her although she is active but has lost her speech and cant eat properly because of not being able to use her mouth and throat, your videos help thanks
Thank you Mick for connecting 🙏 This theatre of life has some very challenging experiences for us to deal with. And I praise you for the love and care of your wife. 🙏 It's important that we give, care and share our love. Give my love to your wife. 🙏 Lovely to know my vlog is helping in some way ♥ 🙏
Thank you for another wonderful vlog. In a way it’s comforting to learn about other peoples hardships. Not because you want people to suffer, but because you feel less alone. It’s good and uplifting to see how people face up to their life challenges and overcome struggles to find peace and fulfilment. Having faced my own challenges, I try to avoid negative energy. I get out in nature every day. I have quit all social media apart from UA-cam. I intentionally seek out the kind of positive content you produce which has helped tremendously during the pandemic. All the while you’re happy making videos I’ll be watching them but please remember to keep taking breaks during the editing process 😉
🙏 Thank you for your kind words 🙏
Dave you really do have a big heart & I absolutely love your Vlogs. They help me more than you’ll ever know & I always feel uplifted after watching them. Just a big heartfelt thank you for the effort you go to in producing them. The chat, videography & music (& thank you to PaoloC) is some of the best I’ve seen . I hope we get to meet one day when this dark time is all over my friend. Stay safe 🙏
Thank you 🙏 where there is dark there is light 🙏
Loved the squelching sounds, thank you ☺️
🙏
A lovely down to earth chat which we ALL need and for others to listen to.... the highs and lows of our individual lives makes us who we are as humans in our world... to make time for yourself is a reward in itself.... its sometimes a hard thing to do over making time for others... I know I speak for myself when I always seem to put myself at the bottom of the list of priorities..... However I realise I am as important as the next person and "Balance" is the key!! Lynette xxx
🙏
Agree with you totally LC...
Lovely video, just what we needed! Thanks Dave

Blessings Jeanette, thank you for your kind words and connecting 🙏 ♥
@@inspiredbynature3 You are most welcome 😀🌈🙏🧘♀️💐
Love listening to your vlogs!! ✨🙏
I went to bed soon after I posted this but I’m selling my house soon and buying a boat I’ve already got a mooring so something to look forward too .. can’t wait to jump in muddy puddles either ✨
🙏
After a shitty day...blood test and stress at work...boy that healed my head 👍
🙏
I really appreciate the videos.last night I needed the “Dave chat” just couldn’t sleep I ended up playing it through again and finally falling asleep to the sound of the muddy towpath. Thank you 🙏
🙏 I like the you finally got some sleep during the walk. I myself fell asleep watching the walk ☺ 🙏
Beautiful honesty, thank you for all you do to allow us to be a part of your journey, the time and effort involved looks immense. Laughed at your inner child moment of loving muddy puddles. I don't think those feelings ever leave us... Through adulthood they possibly are diluted in all our personal thoughts and troubles. Thank you for giving us those moments to think over once again 🙏
Thank you for connecting 🙏
Thank you for being so honest and sharing your thoughts and life with us. It does help, it really does help, on our own journey... ‘Life is just a fleeting moment in time’
🙏
Just came home from short stay in the hospital, stomac problems...your vlogs inspired me and love the beatiful pictures you made and the Pablo music, even with my eyes closed, thank you Dave🙏🏼
Hi Edward, Hope you recover quickly from your recent hospital visit. Its really wonderful to know my videos help bring some peace and stillness into people's life's, and that helps take away the mind from worry and pain. Stayed tuned into my channel for the next episode, coming soon 🙏 Dave
@@inspiredbynature3 Thank you Dave, Unfortunately I've been 9 times this year in Hospital, and surgery I run a wonderful coffeeshop in the Netherlands called De Bonte Klipper.
Here I met wonderful people, to come to visit me and drink good coffee, sometimes happiness, and somtimes sadnes.
But sometimes, I have the need to take care for my self, that's why I like your vlogs, specialy when I'm tired and will go to sleep and I enjoy it so much🙏🏼
Love your vlogs 😊 Sound advice....thanks so much 🙏🏻
Hya Dave I have ms and watching your channel really helpful to live and not be down thanks Dave
A vlog just on Q&A would be great. I particularly enjoyed the Dave Talk!
🙏 Thank you
🌈. Hi di Hi Ho di Ho. Thanks Dave for the past year of your honest and inspirational videos.
So pleased to see the channel becoming ever more popular. I am sure you have helped ever so many people, including myself. Stay warm. p.s. Thanks also to PaoloC for his wonderful music. 🌞🌜⭐️
🙏 ☺
Always always look forward to your videos, so calming and relaxing
🙏
Good vibrations indeed thank you so much 🙏.
Thank you for sharing. It's important for people to know if they are going through a long, dark night of the soul to know there is hope.
🙏
Thank you for the muddy walk...I live walking in mud and muddy puddles..the scenery is tranquil..namaste 🙏🙏
Yes Dave, thank you for your honesty and helping us along the way, much appreciated . I loved the muddy walk along the tow path too! I find such peace watching all your vlogs! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this wonderful vlog Dave. The walk was amazing as was the rest of the vlog.
Thank you for sharing your life with us and helping us through these tough times.
Neil and Mel 🙂🙏
Lovely Job Dave, really enjoyed it 😊🙏
🙏
This one really hit home for me. I could completely relate to the dark periods and unfortunately I am in one now. I have considered ending my life but I know what a selfish act that would be. Sorry that you experienced it but glad you came out and have found peace. I enjoyed the muddy walk. I am trying to appreciate the quiet time with myself but I just feel so lonely and isolated. Thank you for sharing this❣️BTW it is currently around 4 am and I can’t sleep. I try to shut out the news and negativity but I struggle between wanting to stay informed and my sanity.
Peacefulness is always present, it's the busy mind of thoughts that just blocks us from it. 🙏
I appreciate your contribution to peace and harmony in a very negative time.
🙏
Just wonderful. Thank you. 🙏🥰
Dave,
Brilliant Vlog.
You have no idea how much you have helped me just by listening to your little talks. I thought I was the only one having sleep problems.
Tried ur breathing idea from a few vlogs back and it calms me big time.
Big thanks and keep up these great vlogs.
Gerry.
Thank you for your kind words 🙏
Your video 31 is absolutely brilliant, I have watched it several time.
🙏
No words Dave... keep it up my friend x
I enjoyed the walk in the mud but was disappointed you didn't stop for a cup of coffee 😅 and in a previous one sitting in front of the tv saying turn me on i like to scare you 😅I turned it on today may be for one minute the news asking myself what kind of world I live in I know for myself that I can only live in nature which I did all my life Thanks again 🙏🙏🙏
😃 😊
So relaxing to watch ... thank you for the walk I did enjoy the sound of nature... I dont see sleepless nights as negative ... its the subconscious mind cleansing and resetting itself 🙏
Thank you for your videos they have really helped me ❤
🙏
Thank you Dave it's good to talk and listen. Take care.x
Thanks again, very interesting listening to you giving out sound advice, all of which is so very true. Always look forward to seeing you again and going out walking with you. Lots of things to think about . Take care and safe. Xxx
See you on the next vlog! 🙏 ☺
Prayer, is the great healer.
"I´m picking up good vibrations"
I think your home is so you relaxed tranquil ,I hope you have a long life on your beautiful narrowboat ,no one is the same all the time we all have our ups and downs hopefully it's looks like you have found pease x.
Thank you Anne 🙏
We are mere humans here to experience this life and apparently have chosen it. When I first learned that, I was in denial. NO WAY would I have chosen THIS. Now, I'm learning that I've had many lives and there is so much to get still from this one. I'm no longer afraid to pass on, but until then, I'm going to enjoy passing through! I still have much to learn and experience. Narrowboats and canal life is calling me. I think mine will be my oasis, much like yours is for you. So many of my most precious trinkets have come from nature. I guess I can pack those just as easily as anything else. I think customs might have a good laugh if they were to go through my luggage to find stones and sticks! haha! I'm getting so much enjoyment out of your channel. Apologies for my comments turning into short stories. I'll simmer down. I'm just excited to have found something that resonates with me! Thank you so much! Tammie
Thank you for connecting 🙏
Dave, your vlogs are so calming and I just love them. Your photography, music and mindfulness are a very positive influence for me. I think I was one of the early subscribers when you only had a couple of hundred. Amazing numbers now. Thank you so much for everything.
Your a number one fan. But really I shouldn't be labelling you with that 🙏
I feel honoured, thank you.🙏
Great vlog and Chanel Dave ,I call it contentment,not happy,I had depression years ago ,saw a therapist,the trouble I had was dwelling in the past to much,and worrying about the future,then the therapist,said you have to live for today at this present time ,this is me living now,keep it up Dave .👍
🙏
I hope you were wearing your wellies!
Always! Well, not at bedtime! 🙏 ☺
Very nice video, I find all your videos very relaxing. Love the music.
🙏
Wow, the video quality plus your eye for a good shot is amazing i'll be looking forward for more of your content. I watch a lot of narrow boat vlogers and you are far more advanced in your skills. Well good day from South Windsor Connecticut U.S.A.
Thanks Sam 🙏
Great video Dave Is it me or have you uploaded in just 360p?
It's 4k, however there seems to big network issues as I'm struggling to get online for the last few hours. 🙏
How very strange , I've been in Portugal in my campervan since early October and just these past four days I've not been how to sleep for toffee......and nor as my friend who's also here in he's motorhomes .......must be more to it , it seems
There could be more to it Steve but it doesn't matter. We just need to stay grounded and at one with the self. 🙏
Not loading.on my phone or TV.just this episode.
There seems to be network issues! I'm having problem getting online. 🙏 Hope you eventually get to see the vlog 🙏
Enjoy your vlogs very much.
By and large, your videos are beautiful. That said, might you stop using a yellow filter, please.
The swans in your intro footage are pale yellow. Of course, swans are snow white, not yellow.
Cheers.
🙏 Thank you. You will find white swans in a previous vlog.
