I always thought I was super uncool. That people cringed at the idea of my company. But after watching this video, realizing I consistently have done 26 of these since I was ten, and taking a minute to reflect, I think I'm ready to accept that people may enjoy being around me.
I've noticed how Lana's comment section is filled with self-reflective people-- we all are together in this journey to improve ourselves and become a better person, and Lana too. She doesn't portray herself as a high perfect figure, the audience doesn't idolise her, she doesn't want that either. She is just a part of this, this is real community. The comment section is not vague like others. You should be proud of creating such a positive audience, very few are able to connect this deeply with their audience. I'll say this is one of the biggest achievements one can achieve. Thank you Lana!
I just also discovered her today and is binge watching her vlogs. And I also noticed that. I just gave myself a chance to read few comments before going to the next video then few minutes I'll realize I spent quite lot of time reading comments. But no regrets. I so love this space. I think I just found another safe place.

If I was a psychologist I would recommend your channel to my patients. You videos are comforting as they're enlightening. Simple but profound and impactful and yet so inspiring. And your calming voice is a major plus. Because of you I've learned to talk a bit slowly and softly. Can't thank you enough. You're a blessing to me and many others.💖💞
And they're honest too - she sometimes gives hard and honest advice yet says it in a warm and also comforting manner Thank you so much Lana you've changed my life and perspective of the world and myself and that's not an exaggeration
Nice video ... I'm a 72 year old male and I consider everything you've mentioned as living a normal happy life. We all fail from time to time but living your life this way will leave you with a warm feeling inside more often then not.
Dear Brother, You are now 72 year old. Anyway our life is temporary but meaningless without WORSHIP to Almighty God. Who like to go to hellfire forever without accepting the true religion in the life. So please don't make mistake in your life to follow the true religion of Islam and worshipping one God. May Almighty God bless all of us to the right path and grant us paradise hereafter AMEEN
Small kindness is a seed of love that beautifies our current society that desperately desires care and compassion for each other. My favorite out of the 29 was a difference b/w saying "I would like you to join." and "You can join if you want." Especially, this small difference would make an important impact in our everyday conversations with others. Small kindness is how we can support one another and something anyone can do. Thanks, Lana, for demonstrating this. (Sorry to keep editing my comment here. But your influence seems to be continuing to grow in my mind.)
This made me feel amazing about myself. I'm constantly putting myself down but I do so many of these things even if the people I'm doing them for don't seem to appreciate it. I just grew up doing these things so they're quite normal to me. Of course I don't do them all so I can always improve
I felt the same, and it was nice to see that more people care about this, and it's not like I do it to be better, I do it because I genuinely feel bad when people are not included or the group didn't laugh at someone's joke, or someone is talking and no one is listening, etc. I wish everyone would care about these things, it may seem like small details but when someone does that for you it means the world in that moment :)
In summary, you are thinking about the other people around you like if they are yourself, you are a selfless person, and that's why people like this behavior, because you have nothing to gain personally, but you do it anyway
I always think I have crippling social anxiety, but it seems like I do most of these without questioning my own intentions. I'd say my most toxic trait is being avoidant in social situations but now I don't think that's the same thing as social anxiety, so thanks for sharing. You gave me a good perspective to go off of.
It feels wholesome to recieve that kind of attention, but it's also so rewarding feeling if you've done something for others. My highlight of the day today was when I talked with one stranger, who seemned much older than me in university hallway. I said something along the likes that today is the worst day of the week, so difficult lectures and long and then she said that it's the same for her and that she forgot her food. I had a banana in bag which I offered to her, she hesitated at first and was concered that now I have nothing to eat myself but I said it's all good. She was so happy that it made my day. I should carry more snacks in my bag!
That's amazing. It honestly does feel amazing to help people. I remember recently in school one of our classmates, he is a slow learner was having a problem. I just helped him solve the numerical and he was so happy. made my day. on a similar note couple months back one of the class toppers didn't know an answer but was embarrassed to ask anyone else and ended up asking me. I told him. Nobody knows he asked but it made me happy that he trusted me enough to ask.
It's really awesome and makes someones day better when you help them any little appreciatable way you can without knowing them. ✨ It has a lot of bonus points too! For example, at the end of the day, u know and remember that you did something good and even can strike a conversation with that person you helped! Kind people really deserve good things happening to them! ❤
4:20 Whenever a waiter serves us food at a restaurant, my dad ALWAYS reminds us to thank them and we do. It just makes the waiter feel happy and it. makes you feel good too.
Basically, just be more attentive, considerate, genuine and kind. People with a good heart will do all of these, of course, not All the time, life is life, there will be difficult times or just simply tired, but they will, most of the time.
This video changed my whole point of view on how to act around people. I was tired of people around me always praising themselves and acting cool and stuff that i was the only one caring and I thought i was being seen as the weak one. So I started being indifferent and stopped caring so much and always wanted to be something that I really didn’t know! But this video reminded me that this was when i was happy! This whole caring, loving and supporting was when i was free from all those negative thoughts and all those thoughts that were complicated! Thank you for this video! I will start being myself again!
But not only this makes the other person feel good but you feel good about yourself too. I'm saving this on my favorites list and comeback to it every time I feel like I'm losing myself.
My anxiety and overthinking ruined myself. But then I started watching Lana videos and promise myself to become calmer and better. I really hope i do. Thank you Lana!
Aww, this was actually so wholesome! So cool to see that I've actually experienced a lot of these situations lol. Love being that person sometimes and also love interacting with such people! :)
Honestly you have such a positive aura Lana. Like whenever i click unto your videos i feel a surge of peace and love flowing right through me. Whenever i watch your videos i just feel like everything will be okay. Thank you love i feel healed.
I've been depressed and was feeling like I am so alone, but this video made me think, yeah right, actually people do care about me, say nice things, even strangers hold the door for me, saying they like my outfits and stuff. It was just wholesome. It was me not opening up to the beautiful human nature of caring. You made me so fulfilled, thank you so much!
It hurts me that I’ve became worse of a person because all of these things I used to do all the time and now I feel angrier at the world and I don’t practice them as much. But this reminded me that I could change and become that person again
this really was wholesome and i find that whenever i do one of these not only does it make the other person happy or make me seem cool, it makes my day as well! i feel incredibly happy for making someone else feel better! also lana, such a wholesome video with an as always calm vibe
I’m so happy that there are other people out there like you who notice those little details or as Unjaded Jade likes to say “casual magic”. I loved this video, this short format can be really cool sometimes ! Even if I have to say from all the content you‘re putting out there, your podcasts are probably my favourites (I find raw streams of consciousness absolutely fascinating, and at times highly relatable). Great work Lana ❤️
Lol I never knew she had a podcast, where can I listen to it? And yes, it's super wonderful to find those stream of consciousness videos and art pieces!
@@hajerahumar2750 Personally, I listen to her podcasts on Spotify, but I think they're available on a wide variety of platforms. You might want to check them out :)
Doing something nice for someone you don’t even know, it brings joy that you did something good for that person. I always try to have a bright day for everyone around me even if I am having a grey day at that moment.
I find astonishing how a single video pushed me to follow this channel when that hadn't happened before. It says a lot about the level of salutary that the creator drives in their content. Looking forward to devour more of your wholesome videos. Blessings and thank you profusely for all of these advices, Lana. 💚
its really nice that youre just saying this! as someone who does all these and gets not much back its nice to know that these sorts of actions are appreciated
Nearly all of the videos that I've ever watched about being a wholesome, decent, honest, genuinely kind human being, who treats others the way they want to be treated, were made by you, and I'm beginning to believe that it's because you are all of those things and more. ❣
Oh this video is beautiful. It's definitely the little things that count. Half of the things you mentioned here, I see them at work everyday. Those people see me, and I see them. It's such a joy to wake up every morning to go to work with people who see you, acknowledge you, support you, and show you kindness, and even hype you up for the little progress that you make. I am going to try and apply these principles in my daily life. I really want to bring a smile to somebody's face everyday, even if it's just one person per day. The way my colleagues and manager see me at work, I want to see people everywhere I go the same way.
i love it so much when someone actually listens to me when im talking and is really interested in what i have to say, and when someone gives me a smile or tries to help me if im lost or confused, and definitely if they wish me happy birthday at midnight, i try to do these to my friends and i always try to make another person feel included, because i'm always the person who gets left out or ignored in my friendgroup. literally if u do even any of these things, i love you and i'll also remind myself to keep doing these things more often!!
When I was walking on a busy street in Budapest I saw an old man in a wheelchair that dropped something accidently on the ground. I saw he was struggling from the wheelchair to pick it up and there were like 50 people walking past him and no one even looked at him, it was so sad. When I saw him I immediately picked it up for him and he thanked me with a big smile on his face, which totally made my day. Moral of the story, I know we live in a fast world, and everyone is in a rush but sometimes take a look around and help the people around you because if you were in that wheelchair you would have appreciated it a lot if someone helped you in that case.
I'm actually that one person in any friend groups, and them just noticing it and being appreciative is more than enough for me. And when they do reflect it, its literally like you taught someone to be nicer to you and even others. Its just totally wholesome and I hope more people realize this. Priceless.😤🙌🏼
in brief: The video is a compilation of simple yet impactful actions that can positively affect others and make one seem like a "cool" person. The video emphasizes the power of small gestures and kindness in everyday interactions. 1. Including others in a group, especially those who might feel left out. 2. Waiting for someone who is tying their shoe or performing a similar task. 3. Holding doors open for others, but not so far away that it causes awkwardness. 4. Asking someone to text when they get home safely and following up if they forget. 5. Listening actively to others without making the conversation about oneself. 6. Celebrating someone’s birthday right at midnight. 7. Appreciating and hyping up someone's taste in music. 8. Noticing and complimenting changes in someone's appearance. 9. Asking if someone needs anything when going to the store. 10. Sharing in someone's excitement. 11. Introducing someone you know to others in a group. 12. Making room for someone who wants to sit down. 13. Saying nice things about others openly. 14. Giving attention to someone who is being interrupted or ignored in a conversation. 15. Letting someone with fewer items go ahead in a grocery line. 16. Picking up items that have fallen off shelves in stores. 17. Letting others merge into traffic. 18. Greeting people warmly in social settings like offices. 19. Offering help to those who appear to be struggling. 20. Walking someone home who seems lost or disoriented. 21. Remembering small details that someone mentioned earlier. 22. Smiling at someone's pet. 23. Inviting people to join activities in a welcoming manner. 24. Following up on recommendations others have given you. 25. Being patient and understanding, especially in teaching or explaining scenarios. 26. Celebrating small victories of others with enthusiasm. 27. Expressing gratitude to service workers like Uber drivers, waiters, etc. 28. Realizing the importance of basic human interaction like smiling, saying hi, please, and thank you. Lana Blakely concludes by acknowledging that while she doesn't always remember to do all these things, it's important to try, as these small actions can make a significant difference in someone's day.gpt4
Loved this Lana, this is a video we NEED to come back to once in a while to remind ourselves that we need to spread more kindness. Little things matter, a lot.
I know this video was from a while ago, but this video still makes me cry. Thank you for your genuine acknowledgment of the little things that people do that make the world a better place and as you said, "a little smile may make their day or even save a life." Lana Blakely, your videos reaffirm my faith in humanity.
Thanks for this advices which let me know that there is you thinking the same as I do ....and that we need more and more to be all like this ....not everyday and in every occasion thats true...each of us has the days where we need the same from other people ...a smile, a ou wow you look amazing, or a nice to see you again (which is ment in a truly way)....I tell it to everybody helping out old people when they have some problem during shopping or going on the bus, letting them sit down. or phone up some elderly people; your neighbor, your aunt, some other elderly people you know, so the world will be much better for all. Seeing young people thinking in this way gave me faith in humanity. Thanks. Being like this will be a positive impact for all of us through all over the world, because if it is a normal thing doing it, people gets used to it and it will came back once at you; perhaps at the moment you will need it the most. Please nice people all over the world lets make this world a better place ......I still believe in it.
i love this :))) my friends sometimes laugh at me for being nice to the most random people on the streets but i’m never embarrassed about it knowing that small thing i did could’ve gone a long way in their day/lives.
I wasn't familiar with your content but I highly appreciate it as of now. Acknowledging presence of others is so important imo, we've become excluded and often forget about every single person's importance in making our day or experience possible or easier. Also being aware of our same role in the society and making an effort to be kind, which in a way sums up your 29 points, is crucial. Thank you for making this video and best wishes to you, Lana!
I love this so much. And this entire community- there’s so much warmth and comfort here, it makes me grow into the person I aspire to be!! Thank you, xo.
I've had pretty bad social anxiety for most of my life and it gets in the way of me doing things like this more often. I would absolutely LOVE to approach people with these gestures in mind but its hard when you're genuinely scared of interaction sometimes... but I'm trying more and more everyday and getting better so I'm happy about that :)
I loved all of these reminders. My favorite one was introducing someone when you run into somebody else. I’ve noticed that’s something people don’t usually do - including myself. 🙏🏽🙂
Honestly, this all just feels like what should be normal shows of respect. The fact that being respectful and attentive towards others (especially towards friends) is seen as "cool" rather than "normal" really shows just how little many people care about others.
Hello Lana! Out of the twenty nine things you mentioned, I feel like I still have much to learn and give, not just to my family but to the community and strangers too. The few things that make me upset are: when someone ignores others just for the sake of ignorance. Then there's the person who knows there are five people in the room but only includes three of them into the conversation -- maybe this young boy has something of value to add too, by excluding that one person you are being ill-manered. Or when someone is talking but another person is eager to talk about themselves and keeps on interrupting (can you wait for your turn? We want to hear what she has to say!) Overall, we all need that extra love and kindness to get us through the day. 🌄 ❤
every time you spoke a sentence, my brain just associated a person with it. i remembered nice things they'd done and it's so wonderful to know that they actually cared.
I feel so much confident and wholesome right now because I realized that I do most of the stuff in a genuine way and the idea that I probably made someone feel better by doing something, that I didn't even realize, makes me proud of myself❤️
I have a coworker who I see once a week since that location is long drive away. The way he enthusiastically shouts my name at 6am is something I look forward to every week and it makes the following 10 hour workday a breeze. I didn't realize how much of a positive impact it made on my day until he was away on vacation and I was greeted by silence. Good thing he was back the week after shouting my name!
I think it’s so cool when someone remembers the little details I mentioned like one time several years ago, and it always makes me feel cool when I remember something like that too
This is the first video I have watched of yours (because TH-cam randomly recommended it) and I'm so glad I did. This video made my day and gave me small pointers to improve my social life. Thanks!
maintaining eye contact is a total game-changer. I find it hard to believe that someone is actually listening to you if their eyes don't meet yours. And, I get it, sometimes you get shy or nervous while holding eye contact. The thing that makes it so meaningful is that in that exact moment you enter a very intimate place. Stay nice and beautiful everyone!
When you mentioned the people who present you to their friends instead of just saying hi to them, I felt so called out. I have a lot of friends in school who whenever I find them in the halls I go to say hi and chat a bit, my group of friends has told me that it's very awkward for them, but I hadn't thought of anything to make it less awkward. I'll definitely present them to each other next time, plus that will also help me overcome my fear of my friends knowing each other because I think they'll become better friends between them than with me... Is that weird? Anyway, tysmmm for this video, I adore it!
I would add something. When someone says something they already told you about, don't just say "you already told me that". This instantly makes them uncomfortable and they stop telling something they are passionate with enough to tell you 2nd time. Instead i recommend saying "oh i remember you telling me that!" or you can even add that you remember some parts of the story but they can go on with it. I've started doing that few years ago and this simple switch is so amazing. Instead seeing fading smile, they smile even more knowing you remembered and want to listen
this video just made me smile and actually notice that their are people who do this for me, like my bsf hyping me up for every little achievement, my guy friend listening to me patiently instead of making the conversation about him and all the other stuff. This is really wholesome.
I love this video a lot. These things may seem little, but really they're not. I still remember a few years ago, I was a little short of change at the grocery store and the lady behind me stepped up and gave me the money I needed to pay for them. I was so thankful, I've never forgotten it. I offered to pay her back somehow, but she just smiled and said very sweetly, "No, there's no need at all to pay me back! If you want to, just help out the next person you see who needs it in some way." This is how we make our world a more beautiful place
this morning when I was going to work I saw a woman complimenting a stranger at the trainstation on her eyes. That made my day and probably made the complimented woman's week!
There is just something so amazing, listening to this persons voice, smart speech, with the perfect background music and all the small sounds from all the other video clips mixed together. I have seen this video before, but everytime I come back to it I really appreciate the quality of content like this. Thank you Lana =)
Thank you so much for this video Lana! I teared up a few times while watching this. Living in crazy, chaotic and aggressive NYC post pandemic makes me kinda depressed sometimes, but this video reminded me how much these simple gestures are so important. Small kindnesses really do matter and we can all work on doing a little more.
I warned my cousin living in commercial Babylon aka the mother harlot of abominations of America to leave NYC before the pandemic. I was correct for a time people like myself was banned from NYC because I refused to have snake venom injected in to my arm. I never wore masks, never social distanced and never followed any of the Covid rules and I am not sick nor am I dead. Why is that?
I used to listen to your videos because even though you had great ideas which are important the thing I liked most about you is the soft spoken voice you have when you get into your reflective moods
The energy that your videos emanate is always very positive and calm, which is one of the major reasons I love watching your videos. This one was beautiful, it really reminds us how can we spread kindness through little acts
I recently started to listen to your podcast and I cannot express how comforting and relatable it is for me. Thank you for the podcast and for this video as well. Sending lots of love ❤️
Recently, I have made a lot of new friends. A lot of the things mentioned in the video are things that my friends do that I really like, but I've never sat down to put into words. This makes me grateful for them.
Thank you so much for your beautiful video, Lana! it reminded me of my friend who texted me happy birthday midnight, who asks some questions and shows interest in my story when others are just "hearing" me, and my mom who picks up anything that's on the floor at a supermarket or a clothing store:)
As someone who's insecure about being basic and uninteresting, you made me feel, for the first time, that I might actually be cool. I already do most of the things you listed precisely with the intent of making people's lives easier. I just never thought of myself as "cool" for doing them. Everyone already knows this, but you've reminded me that the most important thing about a person isn't their hobbies or interests or skills. It isn't the books they read, the instruments they play, the sports they practice, or the arts and crafts they produce. It's the way they treat people - their compassion, courtesy, generosity, and eagerness to make life better for another human being. That's what truly makes a person interesting.
Leaving a blurry stain on your camera lens makes you very uncool... sorry guys, hope it's not too distracting.
Is english your mother lang ?
True, but apologizing for it makes you cool again.
@@hadjerdaguiani456 no she is swedish
where?
There is nothing distracting about your videos, Lana. 🙏
1. Including others (like stepping back so everyone is levelled at a crosswalk)
2. Waiting on others to tie their shoes
3. Holding doors for others (at just the right time)
4. Caring about the things you say (like asking someone to text they got home and asking if they forget to)
5. Listening to others (instead of turning the conversa on yourself)
6. Wishing happy birthday at midnight
7. Hyping up someone’s music taste
8. Noticing changes to someone’s appearance
9. Asking if somebody wants anything when you go to the store
10. Getting excited when others get excited
11. Introducing acquaintances when you bump into each other and they don’t know them (rather than letting your company standing there)
12. Scooting over to make room on seats
13. Saying the nice things you think about people
14. Listening to others speaking
15. Letting others in line with only a few items to buy
16. Helping your community with things others don’t do (like picking up stuff)
17. Letting other in when there’s traffic
18. Greeting others
19. Asking to help others struggling
20. Offering snacks
21. Remembering details about what others say
22. Smiling at dogs
23. Asking others to join rather than just offering them
24. Getting back to others about stuff they recommended
25. Being patient with others
26. Hyping other’s progress
27. Smiling at others
I missed two but these are basically the main points
Thank you!
People that summarise the video for others :)
If only people would do these things for me 😔
Thanks a lot!
when i was checking everything off as I read
I always thought I was super uncool. That people cringed at the idea of my company. But after watching this video, realizing I consistently have done 26 of these since I was ten, and taking a minute to reflect, I think I'm ready to accept that people may enjoy being around me.
Great:)
that's so nice!
that great, I’m happy for you! :D
thats so nice😊
That's so cool! I'm happy for you :D
I've noticed how Lana's comment section is filled with self-reflective people-- we all are together in this journey to improve ourselves and become a better person, and Lana too. She doesn't portray herself as a high perfect figure, the audience doesn't idolise her, she doesn't want that either. She is just a part of this, this is real community. The comment section is not vague like others. You should be proud of creating such a positive audience, very few are able to connect this deeply with their audience. I'll say this is one of the biggest achievements one can achieve. Thank you Lana!
th-cam.com/video/4BRFsYkFgNU/w-d-xo.html
I really like people like you. Who are always trying to improve.
Just seeing the comments in the video makes me really happy. Love you all.
I just also discovered her today and is binge watching her vlogs. And I also noticed that. I just gave myself a chance to read few comments before going to the next video then few minutes I'll realize I spent quite lot of time reading comments. But no regrets. I so love this space. I think I just found another safe place.

People like you 🌻
thank you so much for this
Did you copy-paste and modify the subtitles of the video? I need to know if you knew
If I was a psychologist I would recommend your channel to my patients. You videos are comforting as they're enlightening. Simple but profound and impactful and yet so inspiring. And your calming voice is a major plus. Because of you I've learned to talk a bit slowly and softly. Can't thank you enough. You're a blessing to me and many others.💖💞
Warms my heart. Thank you so much.
And they're honest too - she sometimes gives hard and honest advice yet says it in a warm and also comforting manner
Thank you so much Lana you've changed my life and perspective of the world and myself and that's not an exaggeration
this comment has to be the best comment I’ve ever seen on a YT video 🤍🥹
😀
How do you know what a psychologist would do if you aren't one?
Nice video ... I'm a 72 year old male and I consider everything you've mentioned as living a normal happy life. We all fail from time to time but living your life this way will leave you with a warm feeling inside more often then not.
Dear Brother, You are now 72 year old. Anyway our life is temporary but meaningless without WORSHIP to Almighty God. Who like to go to hellfire forever without accepting the true religion in the life. So please don't make mistake in your life to follow the true religion of Islam and worshipping one God. May Almighty God bless all of us to the right path and grant us paradise hereafter AMEEN

Small kindness is a seed of love that beautifies our current society that desperately desires care and compassion for each other. My favorite out of the 29 was a difference b/w saying "I would like you to join." and "You can join if you want." Especially, this small difference would make an important impact in our everyday conversations with others. Small kindness is how we can support one another and something anyone can do. Thanks, Lana, for demonstrating this. (Sorry to keep editing my comment here. But your influence seems to be continuing to grow in my mind.)

This made me feel amazing about myself. I'm constantly putting myself down but I do so many of these things even if the people I'm doing them for don't seem to appreciate it. I just grew up doing these things so they're quite normal to me. Of course I don't do them all so I can always improve
I felt the same, and it was nice to see that more people care about this, and it's not like I do it to be better, I do it because I genuinely feel bad when people are not included or the group didn't laugh at someone's joke, or someone is talking and no one is listening, etc. I wish everyone would care about these things, it may seem like small details but when someone does that for you it means the world in that moment :)
In summary, you are thinking about the other people around you like if they are yourself, you are a selfless person, and that's why people like this behavior, because you have nothing to gain personally, but you do it anyway
Hi where are you from
I always think I have crippling social anxiety, but it seems like I do most of these without questioning my own intentions. I'd say my most toxic trait is being avoidant in social situations but now I don't think that's the same thing as social anxiety, so thanks for sharing. You gave me a good perspective to go off of.
It feels wholesome to recieve that kind of attention, but it's also so rewarding feeling if you've done something for others. My highlight of the day today was when I talked with one stranger, who seemned much older than me in university hallway. I said something along the likes that today is the worst day of the week, so difficult lectures and long and then she said that it's the same for her and that she forgot her food. I had a banana in bag which I offered to her, she hesitated at first and was concered that now I have nothing to eat myself but I said it's all good. She was so happy that it made my day. I should carry more snacks in my bag!
That's amazing. It honestly does feel amazing to help people. I remember recently in school one of our classmates, he is a slow learner was having a problem. I just helped him solve the numerical and he was so happy. made my day. on a similar note couple months back one of the class toppers didn't know an answer but was embarrassed to ask anyone else and ended up asking me. I told him. Nobody knows he asked but it made me happy that he trusted me enough to ask.
It's really awesome and makes someones day better when you help them any little appreciatable way you can without knowing them. ✨ It has a lot of bonus points too! For example, at the end of the day, u know and remember that you did something good and even can strike a conversation with that person you helped! Kind people really deserve good things happening to them! ❤
Sounds like the biggest thing is just being considerate and inclusive. We need more of this.
I love the self reflection. These little bits of wisdom just shows your growth. I love this 💜
4:20
Whenever a waiter serves us food at a restaurant, my dad ALWAYS reminds us to thank them and we do. It just makes the waiter feel happy and it. makes you feel good too.
Basically, just be more attentive, considerate, genuine and kind. People with a good heart will do all of these, of course, not All the time, life is life, there will be difficult times or just simply tired, but they will, most of the time.
I always want to make people feel they are being noticed, that they are valued :) Its the sweetest thing a person can do to another person.
you never miss about making a video that can make a good impact to your viewers! i love you, lana. you're such a pure soul. 😭❤️
This video is so awesome and wholesome! Lana really be teaching us to be cool persons
💯 Agree with this💓 Lana inspires me a lot ✨🙏🌸💓
th-cam.com/video/4BRFsYkFgNU/w-d-xo.html
Hey can u suggest me some youtubers like her
😀
This video changed my whole point of view on how to act around people. I was tired of people around me always praising themselves and acting cool and stuff that i was the only one caring and I thought i was being seen as the weak one. So I started being indifferent and stopped caring so much and always wanted to be something that I really didn’t know! But this video reminded me that this was when i was happy! This whole caring, loving and supporting was when i was free from all those negative thoughts and all those thoughts that were complicated! Thank you for this video! I will start being myself again!
Wholesome!!
This video made my day. I love how you think, Lana!! 🦋
ahhhh i follow you and you watch the same videos as me
JADE!!!! I LOVE YOU
Poo
But not only this makes the other person feel good but you feel good about yourself too.
I'm saving this on my favorites list and comeback to it every time I feel like I'm losing myself.
My anxiety and overthinking ruined myself. But then I started watching Lana videos and promise myself to become calmer and better. I really hope i do. Thank you Lana!
I wish you the best ❤❤
Why 😢 you are anxious?
patiently and persistently, with compassion for all including yourself, you will have peace my friend🙏
Aww, this was actually so wholesome! So cool to see that I've actually experienced a lot of these situations lol. Love being that person sometimes and also love interacting with such people! :)
0:51 Friends who wait fr u while u tie ur shoe are indeed legends!!
Lana's videos are just so wholesome and honest. I always feel at peace watching them. The world needs more people like Lana.
What's more wholesome is if other people recognize that someone is doing these things out of their way
That "You" in end syncing up with the beat.. chefs kiss.
Honestly you have such a positive aura Lana. Like whenever i click unto your videos i feel a surge of peace and love flowing right through me. Whenever i watch your videos i just feel like everything will be okay. Thank you love i feel healed.
I've been depressed and was feeling like I am so alone, but this video made me think, yeah right, actually people do care about me, say nice things, even strangers hold the door for me, saying they like my outfits and stuff. It was just wholesome. It was me not opening up to the beautiful human nature of caring. You made me so fulfilled, thank you so much!
It hurts me that I’ve became worse of a person because all of these things I used to do all the time and now I feel angrier at the world and I don’t practice them as much. But this reminded me that I could change and become that person again
this really was wholesome and i find that whenever i do one of these not only does it make the other person happy or make me seem cool, it makes my day as well! i feel incredibly happy for making someone else feel better! also lana, such a wholesome video with an as always calm vibe
her voice is so pretty and calm😴
I’m so happy that there are other people out there like you who notice those little details or as Unjaded Jade likes to say “casual magic”. I loved this video, this short format can be really cool sometimes ! Even if I have to say from all the content you‘re putting out there, your podcasts are probably my favourites (I find raw streams of consciousness absolutely fascinating, and at times highly relatable). Great work Lana ❤️
Lol I never knew she had a podcast, where can I listen to it? And yes, it's super wonderful to find those stream of consciousness videos and art pieces!
@@hajerahumar2750 Personally, I listen to her podcasts on Spotify, but I think they're available on a wide variety of platforms. You might want to check them out :)
And when someone calls you dear it's just another kind of happiness 😊
Circling back to YOU, Lana to tell you that all your videos have such a calming and inspiring impact on my life!
such a calm person I love it
Doing something nice for someone you don’t even know, it brings joy that you did something good for that person. I always try to have a bright day for everyone around me even if I am having a grey day at that moment.
I find astonishing how a single video pushed me to follow this channel when that hadn't happened before. It says a lot about the level of salutary that the creator drives in their content. Looking forward to devour more of your wholesome videos. Blessings and thank you profusely for all of these advices, Lana. 💚
its really nice that youre just saying this! as someone who does all these and gets not much back its nice to know that these sorts of actions are appreciated
All you do is very appreciated by random strangers like me more than you know🫶🏼
Nearly all of the videos that I've ever watched about being a wholesome, decent, honest, genuinely kind human being, who treats others the way they want to be treated, were made by you, and I'm beginning to believe that it's because you are all of those things and more. ❣
Oh this video is beautiful. It's definitely the little things that count. Half of the things you mentioned here, I see them at work everyday. Those people see me, and I see them. It's such a joy to wake up every morning to go to work with people who see you, acknowledge you, support you, and show you kindness, and even hype you up for the little progress that you make. I am going to try and apply these principles in my daily life. I really want to bring a smile to somebody's face everyday, even if it's just one person per day. The way my colleagues and manager see me at work, I want to see people everywhere I go the same way.
i love it so much when someone actually listens to me when im talking and is really interested in what i have to say, and when someone gives me a smile or tries to help me if im lost or confused, and definitely if they wish me happy birthday at midnight, i try to do these to my friends and i always try to make another person feel included, because i'm always the person who gets left out or ignored in my friendgroup. literally if u do even any of these things, i love you and i'll also remind myself to keep doing these things more often!!
Being Nice makes a huge difference ✨🙏💓
Is sad that not everybody appreciates those gestures but being respectful is really important 💓✨🙌🏽
When I was walking on a busy street in Budapest I saw an old man in a wheelchair that dropped something accidently on the ground. I saw he was struggling from the wheelchair to pick it up and there were like 50 people walking past him and no one even looked at him, it was so sad. When I saw him I immediately picked it up for him and he thanked me with a big smile on his face, which totally made my day.
Moral of the story, I know we live in a fast world, and everyone is in a rush but sometimes take a look around and help the people around you because if you were in that wheelchair you would have appreciated it a lot if someone helped you in that case.
I'm actually that one person in any friend groups, and them just noticing it and being appreciative is more than enough for me. And when they do reflect it, its literally like you taught someone to be nicer to you and even others. Its just totally wholesome and I hope more people realize this. Priceless.😤🙌🏼
in brief: The video is a compilation of simple yet impactful actions that can positively affect others and make one seem like a "cool" person. The video emphasizes the power of small gestures and kindness in everyday interactions.
1. Including others in a group, especially those who might feel left out.
2. Waiting for someone who is tying their shoe or performing a similar task.
3. Holding doors open for others, but not so far away that it causes awkwardness.
4. Asking someone to text when they get home safely and following up if they forget.
5. Listening actively to others without making the conversation about oneself.
6. Celebrating someone’s birthday right at midnight.
7. Appreciating and hyping up someone's taste in music.
8. Noticing and complimenting changes in someone's appearance.
9. Asking if someone needs anything when going to the store.
10. Sharing in someone's excitement.
11. Introducing someone you know to others in a group.
12. Making room for someone who wants to sit down.
13. Saying nice things about others openly.
14. Giving attention to someone who is being interrupted or ignored in a conversation.
15. Letting someone with fewer items go ahead in a grocery line.
16. Picking up items that have fallen off shelves in stores.
17. Letting others merge into traffic.
18. Greeting people warmly in social settings like offices.
19. Offering help to those who appear to be struggling.
20. Walking someone home who seems lost or disoriented.
21. Remembering small details that someone mentioned earlier.
22. Smiling at someone's pet.
23. Inviting people to join activities in a welcoming manner.
24. Following up on recommendations others have given you.
25. Being patient and understanding, especially in teaching or explaining scenarios.
26. Celebrating small victories of others with enthusiasm.
27. Expressing gratitude to service workers like Uber drivers, waiters, etc.
28. Realizing the importance of basic human interaction like smiling, saying hi, please, and thank you.
Lana Blakely concludes by acknowledging that while she doesn't always remember to do all these things, it's important to try, as these small actions can make a significant difference in someone's day.gpt4
Loved this Lana, this is a video we NEED to come back to once in a while to remind ourselves that we need to spread more kindness. Little things matter, a lot.
I know this video was from a while ago, but this video still makes me cry. Thank you for your genuine acknowledgment of the little things that people do that make the world a better place and as you said, "a little smile may make their day or even save a life." Lana Blakely, your videos reaffirm my faith in humanity.
Hmm❤️
”Character is how you treat those who can’t do anyting for you”💕
Thank you for this wholesome list🥰
Thanks for this advices which let me know that there is you thinking the same as I do ....and that we need more and more to be all like this ....not everyday and in every occasion thats true...each of us has the days where we need the same from other people ...a smile, a ou wow you look amazing, or a nice to see you again (which is ment in a truly way)....I tell it to everybody helping out old people when they have some problem during shopping or going on the bus, letting them sit down. or phone up some elderly people; your neighbor, your aunt, some other elderly people you know, so the world will be much better for all. Seeing young people thinking in this way gave me faith in humanity. Thanks. Being like this will be a positive impact for all of us through all over the world, because if it is a normal thing doing it, people gets used to it and it will came back once at you; perhaps at the moment you will need it the most. Please nice people all over the world lets make this world a better place ......I still believe in it.
i love this :))) my friends sometimes laugh at me for being nice to the most random people on the streets but i’m never embarrassed about it knowing that small thing i did could’ve gone a long way in their day/lives.
I love that all these things are so easy to do but they can make someone really happy.
I wasn't familiar with your content but I highly appreciate it as of now. Acknowledging presence of others is so important imo, we've become excluded and often forget about every single person's importance in making our day or experience possible or easier. Also being aware of our same role in the society and making an effort to be kind, which in a way sums up your 29 points, is crucial. Thank you for making this video and best wishes to you, Lana!
1. You seem very smart and an outside the book thinker
2. Your voice is perfectly calming and lovely
3. You’re so so beautiful
I love this so much. And this entire community- there’s so much warmth and comfort here, it makes me grow into the person I aspire to be!! Thank you, xo.
same! That's a good way of putting it.
I agree! Btw I love ur Harry profile pic :)
I've had pretty bad social anxiety for most of my life and it gets in the way of me doing things like this more often. I would absolutely LOVE to approach people with these gestures in mind but its hard when you're genuinely scared of interaction sometimes... but I'm trying more and more everyday and getting better so I'm happy about that :)
I loved all of these reminders. My favorite one was introducing someone when you run into somebody else. I’ve noticed that’s something people don’t usually do - including myself. 🙏🏽🙂
Honestly, this all just feels like what should be normal shows of respect. The fact that being respectful and attentive towards others (especially towards friends) is seen as "cool" rather than "normal" really shows just how little many people care about others.
Hello Lana!
Out of the twenty nine things you mentioned, I feel like I still have much to learn and give, not just to my family but to the community and strangers too. The few things that make me upset are: when someone ignores others just for the sake of ignorance. Then there's the person who knows there are five people in the room but only includes three of them into the conversation -- maybe this young boy has something of value to add too, by excluding that one person you are being ill-manered. Or when someone is talking but another person is eager to talk about themselves and keeps on interrupting (can you wait for your turn? We want to hear what she has to say!) Overall, we all need that extra love and kindness to get us through the day. 🌄 ❤
every time you spoke a sentence, my brain just associated a person with it. i remembered nice things they'd done and it's so wonderful to know that they actually cared.
I feel so much confident and wholesome right now because I realized that I do most of the stuff in a genuine way and the idea that I probably made someone feel better by doing something, that I didn't even realize, makes me proud of myself❤️
I like it when people circle back to me to finish a story after I get interrupted.
Watching Lana makes you the COOLEST person ever😎❤️
I have a coworker who I see once a week since that location is long drive away. The way he enthusiastically shouts my name at 6am is something I look forward to every week and it makes the following 10 hour workday a breeze. I didn't realize how much of a positive impact it made on my day until he was away on vacation and I was greeted by silence. Good thing he was back the week after shouting my name!
I think it’s so cool when someone remembers the little details I mentioned like one time several years ago, and it always makes me feel cool when I remember something like that too
you give me so much comfort
This is the first video I have watched of yours (because TH-cam randomly recommended it) and I'm so glad I did. This video made my day and gave me small pointers to improve my social life. Thanks!
Yes she is amazing!
Being yourself would be one, helping others, having special talents or just simply being kind.
maintaining eye contact is a total game-changer. I find it hard to believe that someone is actually listening to you if their eyes don't meet yours. And, I get it, sometimes you get shy or nervous while holding eye contact. The thing that makes it so meaningful is that in that exact moment you enter a very intimate place. Stay nice and beautiful everyone!
it's amazing how I see myself smiling to flashbacks of my own experiences as you were mentioning the scenarios in this video
When you mentioned the people who present you to their friends instead of just saying hi to them, I felt so called out. I have a lot of friends in school who whenever I find them in the halls I go to say hi and chat a bit, my group of friends has told me that it's very awkward for them, but I hadn't thought of anything to make it less awkward. I'll definitely present them to each other next time, plus that will also help me overcome my fear of my friends knowing each other because I think they'll become better friends between them than with me... Is that weird? Anyway, tysmmm for this video, I adore it!
1:57 I do that everytime, and just do it please cause you will really be able to see people getting happy back cause someone's listening!
Love your podcast. Randomly found it on Spotify a couple months ago and listen to it to decompress after long days at the office.
Thanks so much!
What's the name of the podcast?
@@samantabedoyab.7833 The Lana Blakely Podcast
I would add something. When someone says something they already told you about, don't just say "you already told me that". This instantly makes them uncomfortable and they stop telling something they are passionate with enough to tell you 2nd time. Instead i recommend saying "oh i remember you telling me that!" or you can even add that you remember some parts of the story but they can go on with it. I've started doing that few years ago and this simple switch is so amazing. Instead seeing fading smile, they smile even more knowing you remembered and want to listen
Her voice is so calming it almost feels like an asmr video
this video just made me smile and actually notice that their are people who do this for me, like my bsf hyping me up for every little achievement, my guy friend listening to me patiently instead of making the conversation about him and all the other stuff. This is really wholesome.
This girl is crazy good! The moment u started talking i somehow dropped a smile! You make a difference in this world girl ❤️
Thanku for your words!
Literally crushed on you🥰 your looks and way of talking
Your calmness is so soothing, I loved the gentle, positive energy of this video.
Kindness is cool. Thank you for reminding others we're all people and doing the right thing is good.
I love this video a lot. These things may seem little, but really they're not. I still remember a few years ago, I was a little short of change at the grocery store and the lady behind me stepped up and gave me the money I needed to pay for them. I was so thankful, I've never forgotten it. I offered to pay her back somehow, but she just smiled and said very sweetly, "No, there's no need at all to pay me back! If you want to, just help out the next person you see who needs it in some way." This is how we make our world a more beautiful place
this morning when I was going to work I saw a woman complimenting a stranger at the trainstation on her eyes. That made my day and probably made the complimented woman's week!
I adore how your videos make me feel like hope to better myself up 😭
There is just something so amazing, listening to this persons voice, smart speech, with the perfect background music and all the small sounds from all the other video clips mixed together. I have seen this video before, but everytime I come back to it I really appreciate the quality of content like this. Thank you Lana =)
0:38 thank you for mentioning that! It's crazy how natural it's seems to be for people to exclude me 😅
I naturally do most of some these things because I know what it feels like to feel invisible, I always make sure everyone feels included and welcomed
Thank you so much for this video Lana! I teared up a few times while watching this. Living in crazy, chaotic and aggressive NYC post pandemic makes me kinda depressed sometimes, but this video reminded me how much these simple gestures are so important. Small kindnesses really do matter and we can all work on doing a little more.
I warned my cousin living in commercial Babylon aka the mother harlot of abominations of America to leave NYC before the pandemic. I was correct for a time people like myself was banned from NYC because I refused to have snake venom injected in to my arm. I never wore masks, never social distanced and never followed any of the Covid rules and I am not sick nor am I dead. Why is that?
I used to listen to your videos because even though you had great ideas which are important the thing I liked most about you is the soft spoken voice you have when you get into your reflective moods
I just can't express how much I truly love these videos
your voice is so relaxing💗
The energy that your videos emanate is always very positive and calm, which is one of the major reasons I love watching your videos. This one was beautiful, it really reminds us how can we spread kindness through little acts
I’m so glad people like her exist . Truly inspirational and my role model
I recently started to listen to your podcast and I cannot express how comforting and relatable it is for me. Thank you for the podcast and for this video as well. Sending lots of love ❤️
this makes me so happy
Okay she is comforting as hell
thank you for reminding us to be kind and be a better person to others, love you lana :>
Recently, I have made a lot of new friends. A lot of the things mentioned in the video are things that my friends do that I really like, but I've never sat down to put into words. This makes me grateful for them.
Thank you so much for your beautiful video, Lana! it reminded me of my friend who texted me happy birthday midnight, who asks some questions and shows interest in my story when others are just "hearing" me, and my mom who picks up anything that's on the floor at a supermarket or a clothing store:)
As someone who's insecure about being basic and uninteresting, you made me feel, for the first time, that I might actually be cool. I already do most of the things you listed precisely with the intent of making people's lives easier. I just never thought of myself as "cool" for doing them.
Everyone already knows this, but you've reminded me that the most important thing about a person isn't their hobbies or interests or skills. It isn't the books they read, the instruments they play, the sports they practice, or the arts and crafts they produce. It's the way they treat people - their compassion, courtesy, generosity, and eagerness to make life better for another human being. That's what truly makes a person interesting.
Was feeling low today, saw this and felt quite charged up to get to work. Thank you for this short, meaningful video. Very apt everyday examples 👍🙂
I’m very proud to know that i do a lot of these and i could have made someone’s day better :)
