Looking at the sun during dawn and dusk, the feeling of a hot cup of coffee in my hands, touching and talking to my plants, dressing up, putting intentionality in cooking the best meal in the world, hold on.......now that I think of these things, I realize there are actually so many things around us that can give us joy. It does not have to be the dream vacation to Bali or a promotion. You just have to be intentional and conscious of your surrounding. Because it is all waiting there. Only for you to recognize it and feel joy :) P.S. - Helena, honestly one of my simple joys is watching your videos. Thank you for sharing!
Dearest Helena, I am so grateful to you for sharing your wise & gentle ways about accepting yourselves, experiences of our lives with Grace & Beauty. I'm 81 & grateful to say I continue to gain knowledge & wisdom. I so love your channel. Thank you. 🙏💗
My go-to is nature. Always. I recently moved from the city to a small village in the mountains and I'm surrounded by nature. Whenever I wander amongst the trees or sit by the stream, my inner child returns and starts seeing the fairies again, the magic that lies in the small things. I hug trees and joyfully scream while bathing in the cold water, I howl at the moon and talk to the little bugs in my garden. And it's just wonderful! =)
Same here! My story could be your story. And I feel like I'm discovering nature for the first time. It's overwelming and it's healing. Greetings from the Netherlands!
I slow down by making time for my hobbies, such as painting. And I don't take it too seriously. It is fun to play with the colors or to explore new techniques or mediums. Hobbies, I have learned, are important to a happy life. They aren't a frivolous waste of time but essential to a fulfilling, fun, and joyous life.
You're so inspiring! When in need to slow down, I go for a walk by the Seine (I live in Paris) and find myself a perfect spot to read a book. Or I walk the streets admiring the little details of the medieval buildings. Or just sitting on the terrace of a good cafe, watching people go by and wondering where do they come from, what do they do, etc. ❤😘
Oh what a treat to have a simple joys video to watch and admire whilst making a hot cup of tea for breakfast, haven't begun the video yet but just needed to express my upmost excitement.
Aww Helena your joy for life and warmth of character just radiate off your face. When you hugged your husband from behind, that’s just the best feeling to me. To embrace your loved one and envelop them in the assurance of your love for them. 💛 You’re so abundant with your love and your light, it’s a pleasure to be on the receiving end of it or to just be near you I am sure. Thank you for your wisdom! Things that make me feel lighter: little wicker baskets, glitter gel pens, sunflowers, reading classics (and observing that so much of what we might feel or experience has been felt or experienced before, and thus we are never truly alone), roses and botanical gardens, looking at rippling water, sunshine, observing dew drops on leaves…. Ahh the details ☺️
Such good timing on this video. I live in the US so I'm 5hrs behind u rn and I just woke up from 2 nightmares in a row and I'm glad I can watch this to calm down ❤️
“Seeing every challenge as a teacher.” Such a good statement. We all have our challenges in life. Having a good sense of humor has gotten me through so much. The ability to be able to step back and assess a challenging situation and bring resolve to it, whatever that may look like, and then be able to move on. Some things in life can be repaired but some things we simply hold broken, and that’s ok too. Thank you for this lovely video. Sending you much love❤️
Totally agree Helena, it's how you look at the world and how you value things. I love nature walks, noticing and taking photos of beautiful scenery, flowers, trees. I've just been on a walk today and took pictures of lemons 🍋growing in the trees. This is what chills me out, and makes me feel more joyous! x 😊
I feel as we grow up we are made to take all responsibilities (which is right) but it takes away the fun out of our life too. So the one thing I'm trying is to embrace more and more my child like curiosity and spirited self while being aware of my responsibilities. Thank you for this lovely video 💕. P. S. : That sea horse brooch is super cute💖
Right, I feel like I’d still be writing poetry and more letters and having more fun and energetic curiosity if I didn’t have to work full time to support myself
The imagery, the words, the videography...I love the way you hone your craft from video to video. The sensation of your videos honestly enchants and inspires me so much. You somehow combine the aesthetic, cinematic with the playful and genuine. Thank you! 💛🌿
You are right. When a something comes up that I wasn't expecting I usually think hmmm oh well never mind and face it. If it is broken I fix it if it can be or accept oh well its gone now and let go!! We can't stop change as nothing stays the same. Every ending has a new beginning. I make each new beginning as happy as I can not letting anyone dim my light. Love life and it will love you back. Thankyou from New Zealand.
Thank you! So thankful for all your reminders of joy and fun. When I was young curiosity play and silliness was so me. But unfortunately it was judged harshly. But so thankful for a car accident which left feeling lost and looking for myself. At 55 I’m so glad to have found her. Thanks Helena
Hello, dear I I wish you are feeling well. I am okay. Just have found your beautiful, and inspirational chanel. I say thank you, very much for it. I love it. I am watching some of your videos on TV I can see better that way because my eye's that way I don't use my glasses and I do feel more comfortable and free. I do appreciate you and your wonderful videos. Have a blessed day.
Not only enjoyed but loved this video! It is incredible how little things can add so much value to our day-to-day lives. After an exhausting day, I treat myself by making a steaming hot cup of my favorite mint tea and that instantly makes me feel rejuvenated. Definitely not taking simple joys for granted.
I recently moved to North Dakota and it’s so much slower than Houston Texas. It’s gorgeous here and I’m learning to enjoy every moment. You’re channel is so inspiring! Thank you for what you do!
A person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for. Your Vlogs are the best for us students studying . Thanks from me , my sister and my mom
Thank you again Helena for this helpful and beautiful video. It helps me look at things with a different and more productive perspective especially when angry, stressed or fearful
You deserve so much credit for this wonderful inspiring video! From the beautiful opening scene's, where you capture the light that shines on nature so well, to your enthousiastic speech in the end. I do realise that your enthousiasm you display there, might be to overwelming for some people, where they even will be discouraged because they can't picture themselfs there. The steps may be to big for them. But you are absolutely right in sharing it this way! Enthousiasm can only be transfered with enthousiasm! I admire you for it, and thank you again for sharing.
Thank you Mo! 💕 Oh yeah, my enthusiasm may turn a lot of people off! For sure. I've honestly been experiencing this my entire life (my enthusiasm and excitement for life can be triggering to some people), so it's nothing new. But it's way harder for me to try to be less enthusiastic than I am, and I don't want to hide my honest self with others, even if I am overly saccharine, dramatic and bubbly. The people who are turned off by my natural self are not my audience. Thank you lovely soul, you have such a kind and compassionate heart, and your words mean a lot 🥰✨💕
@@helenawoods Don't you ever change ! Never forget you are an example anyway. People that have a hard time to understand the freedom that comes with enthousiasm, have admiration for it too under their skin. ;-) and will try to get to any sort of level of it in their own time and terms. Wishing you a wonderful day. Until the next time! (thank you for you answer)
Thank you for your videos! Always inspiring! I actually went to listen to one of your videos today when the intention to feel lighter! As I sit at the table and create glass beaded wind chimes. 🙏🕊️💜
My goal was to start reducing my working hours. Now it has been a long time that I don't work anymore on the weekends. My goal now is reduce again soon. The pandemic is a vacation for me. I was so tired sometimes. Not enough vacation time from my current job. For me it's to able to do what I want to when I want to and how I want to. Take a long walk while listening to a book. Taking a coffee while watching something interesting. For a lot of people the pandemic was the worst thing that could have happened to them. For me it was the best time of my life. I did look what I liked about my life and I did make changes to improve it. Since 2000 until 2014. I didn't take any vacations. So this was really a reset. Why? Because where I was living there was no unemployment insurance. So if I didn't work. Well it was difficult. So I never did stop. But I was not doing farm stuff. But it was work also. But work I really loved. Not many people did go to work and then did go to the beach after. LOL. I was working for me. So I created my hours and my salary. But it didn't pay me much. But it was easier this way. You really need to do something that you love. Your salary should only be a source of income. If you have just this one. You already know what could happen.
Oh life ! How beautiful to hug someone from behind or just to be hugged !! There is nothing better than that. Or to receive a kiss on your forehead !! I wish I can scream to the world, how I need someone to hug or to hug me !!! Not even the trees or the birds make me smile anymore... It is a scary feeling. To be alone all the time, when you have so many people around you or near by, is so sad, so scary !! I need and want to move from where I am, but I just can't. Not by myself. The economic part, the situation we all are going through, my leg health, not having friends visit me, not having a car to go sell my Kokedama plants and my beautiful bonsais make me so sad. I need someone to embrace me; someone to tell me that my light, my spirit and my hands are so valuable !!! That is all .
Oh Maria, this is such a hard time we're living through right now, with the pandemic and social distancing. I'm so sorry to hear this, beautiful soul. As humans, we need that social connection, that feeling of being part of a group, of being needed etc. I'm so sorry, please know that you are SO valuable. Your spirit, your essence and light are so important and vital to this life. If I saw you in person, please know that I'd be giving you such a big hug right now.
Helena : Thank you so much again for taking the time to write to me, and send me your marvelous hugs ! I am right know giving myself that beautiful hug that you have sent me... 💝💝💝 You are such a magical spirit Helena !!!
Helena, I appreciate you for creating your TH-cam channel, inspiring others to give life a lovely chance Iam also from San Diego, & old enough to be your mother. I left San Diego after graduation & never looked back.. I was a kid curious about life, icinti ue to be curious about wh Ava t life has to offer. My curiosity led me to live in spain.
Thank u for sharing inspiring thoughts.especially during this time.im struggle from fear and dark experience.now im trying to cope life by living slow and enjoying things in life.😘🤗🤗🤗
I slow down by reading, cooking, meditation, Journaling, music, and by not watching t.v. talking on the phone much, no computer and lots of alone time.
You are the sunshine, my dear. I love to sit down, have a coffee in a beautiful boulangerie, and read or write. I laughed when you said "sing to the birds" because I do it all the time and they come to say hello every day, we have developed a friendship by now.
Love watching your videos. My intention is to buy a cottage in the near future a simple home in the countryside on the water. That's what makes me happy. This year has made me realize its not the amount you make it worth living, its the moments. I would love to know, what lens you use? I use the canon m50
Hi Helena/simple Joys. Enjoyed your new video. You wore a lot of different clothes, and I liked that. They were all beautiful on you. Life's a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved. What I say to you, I say to me. Katie.
Beautiful colours and scenes! This past year has brought the opportunity for reflection and change unlike any other. Earlier generations would perhaps have felt similarly after the World Wars. My two cats provide me with much joy. They love the times when I work from home and they busy themselves "assisting" me in my study. I cherish these moments with these two souls #Kallieandsquid
As a crone, I feel the importance of expressing the strong yin energy in the female woman Life is seductive & can be lived in a positive manner. I feel you share this quality with us . Through travel I learned, all can be learn in love; no force Nunca force Thank you
You can't be positive all the time. You allow yourself to go through the full spectrum of human experience. I recommend EFT tapping, meditation, dancing, physical movement, writing. Own what you feel and find tools that help you. For me personally, EFT tapping is a game changer. I've written a whole blog post about this on my blog.
Oh yeah, Luisa! 🤗 I have to speak French because most people understandably don't speak English in France and I'd be so incredibly isolated if I didn't learn.
Helena I think like you as well - eg. Oh I am so sad today and crying, this is so interesting, I am a little baby and I get hurt so easily... It's time to grow little one. I think you will be able to relate to this, haha. 😂
haha I love it Sakina!! :) Yeah I can totally relate - as a highly emotional and sensitive person, observing myself and my thoughts / emotions from this curious and observational perspective has been a really helpful tool for me 🤗
im sorry my sweet I wish and pray i could be so optimistic but when you have children to support and a mortgage its not just 'perspective and a '"challenge" its actually difference between destroying others lives of trying the best to scrape through and keep it together for those you love
It's okay to laugh at life when you have food in the cupboard and health. It's ok to go on wild adventures when you don't have a full time job and responsibilities. #reallife
Hey! How do you know my cupboard has food in it? Have you been there? Are YOU the one stealing my hot cocoa? 😂 Everyone knows about "responsibilities" - we all have them. But do you know about....the bare necessities? Here let my friend Baloo tell you about them: th-cam.com/video/08NlhjpVFsU/w-d-xo.html
What helps you feel lighter and more joyous in life? ✨
Reading, walks and writing
Looking at the sun during dawn and dusk, the feeling of a hot cup of coffee in my hands, touching and talking to my plants, dressing up, putting intentionality in cooking the best meal in the world, hold on.......now that I think of these things, I realize there are actually so many things around us that can give us joy. It does not have to be the dream vacation to Bali or a promotion.
You just have to be intentional and conscious of your surrounding. Because it is all waiting there. Only for you to recognize it and feel joy :)
P.S. - Helena, honestly one of my simple joys is watching your videos. Thank you for sharing!
Hanging out with cattle (I live on a cattle farm), observing wild birds, playing with the farm dog.
Walking in the woods and the beach, cooking a meal from scratch, mindfully enjoying a cup of coffee
Sun, flowers, plants, cool breeze in the morning, smile from another being, beautiful music, dancing and singing!!!☀️🌷✨

Oh life ! How beautiful to hug someone from behind or just to be hugged !!
There is nothing better than that. Or to receive a kiss on your forehead !!
I wish I can scream to the world, how I need someone to hug or to hug me !!!
Not even the trees or the birds make me smile anymore... It is a scary feeling.
To be alone all the time, when you have so many people around you or near by, is so sad, so scary !!
I need and want to move from where I am, but I just can't. Not by myself.
The economic part, the situation we all are going through, my leg health, not having friends visit me, not having a car to go sell my Kokedama plants and my beautiful bonsais make me so sad.
I need someone to embrace me; someone to tell me that my light, my spirit and my hands are so valuable !!!
That is all .

Love your energy and inspiration thank you❤
This is exactly what I needed to hear right now thank you!
Heart of Kentucky. Good morning Helena/Simple Joys. I'm mailing you a letter today. Keep your eye opened for it. Katie.
I get so relaxed watching your videos .Love you
So grateful for you living in you divine purpose❤️❤️❤️

As a crone, I feel the importance of expressing the strong yin energy in the female woman
Life is seductive & can be lived in a positive manner.
I feel you share this quality with us .
Through travel I learned, all can be learn in love; no force
Nunca force
Thank you
You make me think about me, my wife and my son. We are actually not sure who is more a kid than the other. But we are trying to find out LOL.
What do you do when you have a bad day? How to be positive that time?
You can't be positive all the time. You allow yourself to go through the full spectrum of human experience. I recommend EFT tapping, meditation, dancing, physical movement, writing. Own what you feel and find tools that help you. For me personally, EFT tapping is a game changer. I've written a whole blog post about this on my blog.
I think if I start singing to the birds and the trees people will think I'm crazy!
😍😍😍
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
is it really natural that be alone is addicting in the long run? i enjoy being alone now

Beautiful videos! Hi, Helena, since you live in France, have you learned to speak French? I live in Montreal, Canada. Thanks!
Oh yeah, Luisa! 🤗 I have to speak French because most people understandably don't speak English in France and I'd be so incredibly isolated if I didn't learn.
Do you often say "yes" when you want to say "no"?
Helena I think like you as well - eg. Oh I am so sad today and crying, this is so interesting, I am a little baby and I get hurt so easily... It's time to grow little one.
I think you will be able to relate to this, haha. 😂
haha I love it Sakina!! :) Yeah I can totally relate - as a highly emotional and sensitive person, observing myself and my thoughts / emotions from this curious and observational perspective has been a really helpful tool for me 🤗
im sorry my sweet I wish and pray i could be so optimistic but when you have children to support and a mortgage its not just 'perspective and a '"challenge" its actually difference between destroying others lives of trying the best to scrape through and keep it together for those you love
Music is distracting
It's okay to laugh at life when you have food in the cupboard and health. It's ok to go on wild adventures when you don't have a full time job and responsibilities. #reallife
Right, after work I’m too tired to do anything
Hey! How do you know my cupboard has food in it? Have you been there? Are YOU the one stealing my hot cocoa? 😂 Everyone knows about "responsibilities" - we all have them. But do you know about....the bare necessities? Here let my friend Baloo tell you about them: th-cam.com/video/08NlhjpVFsU/w-d-xo.html
