I had an English professor say something that really stayed with me: Do one thing at a time. That advice changed my life and your video is a great reminder, thank you ❤
One that stuck with me and I’ve found true is: How you do one thing is how you do everything. Makes me stop when I lose discipline and remember to approach each activity or filler time intentionally, in alignment with my values. Easier said than done.
It’s a constant struggle to not be on a device too much. I often wish I could go back to the time when cell phones were simply used for making phone calls or texting. Thanks for your content.
Bec of this video, I am no fully decided to switch to a dumbphone. I’ve been considering it for a couple of yrs now. This is my push. Thank you, dear!!
I do love this kind of reminder. Today I was writing about the things I need to focus on and eliminate things that don’t align with me for the next couple years. And pay attention to what I really want. Social media is fine as long as we know how to balance things together
This is the first video in a while that I haven’t looked through the comments or looked for other videos while watching! Thanks for the captivating video.
I do watch most of my videos at 2x speed, but that is because I have a toddler. I am watching this while he is asleep. Once he wakes up, my attention is on him. I am behind on my videos and only get a chance to watch them when he is sleeping (and I do many chores or food prep during his naps). I think it is helpful to put your phone in your bedroom at a certain time. I make sure I get a weekly report from my phone to see how much time I spent on it. Last week I spent 22 minutes on average each day on my phone. Hopefully I can get it down to 10 minutes. I know it is hard, especially for those who were raised with smart phones (while I was raised without a computer until I was 16 - I am 41 now). Those raised without having screens all the time, know how to occupy our time more slowly without distraction. I watch all your videos completely and always enjoy them! THank you for the inspiration and insight.
Thank you for pointing out things that we commonly do without knowing. These habits of multitasking are making us tired leaving us behind with no great experiences to recollect later. I truly believe that we all need that one minded focus couple of times in day at least to enjoy life. Your videos are so calming and great reminder in midst of our chaotic lives we live.❤
I watched Buy Now with my adult son, we both implemented changes with how we (what I like to call) "consumer maneuver"...which happened to be just in time for Christmas. It's a must see.
I honestly love you wholeheartedly. Watching any of your videos always brings me back down to earth and motivates me to actually be the version of me I´m most comfortable with! Thank you so so so much for your lovely videos and contribution of peace to this chaotic world of ours
Such a helpful reminder for my Saturday morning. :) Currently on a journey of re-connecting with my creative hobbies, and becoming more mindful of how I choose to spend my time is an important component to that. Thank you!
I have watched “buy now” three times and I feel ashamed to be human right now. This has to stop! I am trying to arrange my life to be quieter and with a fuller focus. I find myself settling in to watch something and like you, checking my phone for really no good reason!! I did not ever think about speeding up the play on it, but it’s probably good I didn’t know about that! I’m going to try and spend more quiet reflection time to decide how I want to continue my life. Thank you for the wonderful video!
Hello Sophie! This appeared at the right moment and in the right place. I was reading a book when I found myself, pacing and thinking of different things, it was a sad feeling, that pulled me from being in the present moment. Every time I look around, I see people holding their phones like zombies, grabbing their phones unconsciously. Something I don't want to happen to myself, cause life is really a fleeting moment. Thank you for this video. It reminds me reminded how long I haven't done my yoga, and have walked alone in nature. Thank you Ate Sophie! 💗😚
I am temporarily living with my parents right now. My mother has an Alexa our kitchen. I noticed that as soon as I walk in the kitchen my eyes start to focus on the headlines or advertisements on the Alexa device. It distracts me from my own original thoughts, especially while I am home alone. My mind immediately starts thinking about what I am seeing on the Alexa screen. I decided to start covering the Alexa screen with a clean light cloth whenever my parents would be away for most of the day. Sometimes I forget to remove the cloth when they return home. I have a lot on my mind as it is. My Dad got really upset because I covered the Alexa screen, and cannot understand why I am distracted by it. He thinks it is foolish. I am trying to simplify my life and eliminate as many distractions as possible. I do not like being constantly bombarded with headlines and marketing to while I am at home by myself. I like to be more in control of my own thoughts. I am changing careers and going into Cybersecurity. Hopefully, I can find a Cybersecurity role soon that will afford me with the means to support myself again.
Hi my sweet friend! I’ve always loved your minimalist wardrobe videos as I struggle with clothing. You gave us wonderful ideas for summer, and I incorporated sustainable linen clothes. Thank you for that! but I live in a cold climate which makes clothing a lot more complicated. Rain, snow, days when you need layers. Part of having a mindful wardrobe is just knowing how to dress and what kind of things are practical- this is where I’ve always struggled, buying too many things rather than one versatile item, because im buying wrong colors, fabrics, styles. Since you mentioned that you moved to Portugal and had to buy a winter wardrobe, I’m sure we would all love to catch a glimpse of the pieces you chose to invest in. It would be such an inspiration. I think it’s so hard to live in a four season climate and not have too many clothes . Thank you 💕
As always an amazing video with a concept that add immense values to our life. Every time I watch your video, it just fills me up with so much peace, somewhat like a mindfulness activity ✨🙌🏻
Amazing content! Pleased to see SF featured, esp at the tech free segment. It is possible to find peace and focus everywhere. Wishing you the best in the new Portugal chapter. 💛
I began only having one or two tabs open a few weeks ago. I really didn't think I could do it, but it's going very well! I love some of your ideas and will be trying them out. I love your outfits in this video. I hope you will do an updated wardrobe tour now that you live in Portugal and are wearing different items for your new climate!
Thank you so so much Sophie for Another peaceful Video and your videos are genuinely genuinely helpful to me and thank you so so much for motivating me May God Bless You And Your Family🥹🥹♥️♥️
😂 yes I watch videos sped up and read the comments whilst the video plays 😂 I also checked my phone today during a chat with one of my four daughters. First time I've ever found myself checking my phone and it felt SO impolite and disrespectful. I realized immediately that I need to stop that before it becomes a thing that I dont like.
Today I had a "date" with my 3-year-old son at a bakery and I had to use my smartphone to find out when we would be picked up. I apologized to my child for that. He: “Why the apology?”. "Because it's rude to be on your smartphone while you're hanging out and eating with someone." I value those moments with my loved ones ❤ I hope he will grow up with awareness
Hello Sophie, I have been thinking the same thing, if we keep on going at this rate we will lose our ability to focus on the things that matter. It has been getting harder for me to focus on just reading anything that takes longer than 2 or 3 minutes. I’m constantly searching TH-cam or Amazon, Ebay ect. The distractions are everywhere and in everything. I have been limiting my time I’m on the internet. I got rid of my t.v. along time ago because it was a distraction. I switch from the computer to the DVD player. I have the computer in another room. Then I found I can watch a movie without being on the computer. Since I started this routine I have been able to concentrate for longer periods of time and stay focused. I always have my phone on mute. My cell phone is strictly for if I need to go out or if I need to use it because my other phone is out of commission. Then to stop compulsive shopping I have stopped watching TH-cam channels where they are constantly doing reviews on the latest Bibles, journals, books, technology ect. That way I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything and I’m more content with what I have. That is why I love your video’s and look forward to seeing more. You have such a peace and calmness that I hope will rub off on me. Lots of love to you! ❤️
Yes thats why i always wants and wait for your long videos ❤plz make such long videos love listening your voice for long...its bery soothing knowledge and heartful 💜🌻
Always looking forward on your next videos. I live a busy life. Your voice, background music, and video content always take me to a peaceful place, mentally and emotionally. See you on your next video 😊
Guilty here as well, lol! Luckily your videos have a calming effect and make you see the things really matter clearer! Thumbs up for the great work and cheers from Koh Samui! 🙏🌴
Behind the name of technology see what we have done with ourselves. We have lost our abilities while binge watching, lost attention, peace, knowledge, wisdom and ultimately the reason of life. But no more now. I have deleted all my social media accounts and will read books and will focus on my other hobbies.. Time is precious. Thank you ❤
I am also watching Buy Now on Netflix and it makes me feel like not buying anything anymore especially clothes 😄 Have been following you for since you started this channel and taking a moment to thank you for your soothing voice and insightful content Sophie. ❤
My attn span has changed so much since my medical problems started. I have to find a new routine/way to reset bc keeping everything bottled up works against me in obvious ways now. Its hard for me to know how the world is against me in some ways, but then doors open to get me out of the negativity❤️💯 I've entered a new phase in my life where I have to stay away from all that's bad for me- and leaving it all behind has been worth it. I recommend that for everyone👍
Yes, I read the comments section while watching a video. And I have so many tabs open that I can't read the the site is about. Lately, I've been trying to regain focus because I'm to the point where I'm questioning "Do I have ADHD?" Thank you so much for this video.
They have Cleaners for that! Your Jazz Music 🎵 is as Classy as you Complements your Story Telling! Your Dogs Are so well Behaved and Spoiled I Love them!!🤣 Do you And your Husband Have a Favorite Traditional Dinner That you Make for New Years???
I did stop the video to leave a comment 😂. I actually follow you on Spotify bc in the morning I like to listen to your older podcast while driving especially to reset. It's funny this video came at the right time too. I find myself also doing that watching something on TH-cam or Netflix but still pick my phone. It's become a habit too 🙂. Also I follow you on IG. Have a wonderful day and happy holidays. I'll have to check that show you mwntion ❤
Lovely video! Also I too watched Buy Now. It was an interesting style for a documentary but I liked it. Really brought out the raw and ugly truth about consumption. Would love to see a video from you about your thoughts on it. ❤️
I have an online business so my work resolves around using social media and I anyway have an overactive brain where I just can't stay away from mindless content consumption. I really really need to get my priorities straight! In all this, I barely get to spend time with myself - introspecting, looking within. Ahhhhh it is a constant struggle. Sorry I am just ranting at this point. 😅
Hello Sophie :) My name is Rita, I'm from Lisbon, I do tours and bike tours. I would happily show you around if you want, or go to a traditional restaurant. I hope you guys have a really nice time. Portugal has amazing places to disconnect. Wish you well :)
I felt caught out by the question about the open browser tabs. There were only three at the time. That's okay, isn't it? 😅 Thanks for the reminder! Focus is definitely lost too often.
I had so many tabs open, but one day, after a system update, they disappeared! 😂 I don’t even know if I needed them or not. Probably not, since I was keeping them open just to read later, but they had been open for half a year. Now, I only have the tabs I actually need opened.
Hello Sophie. I love love watching your videos. Your channel is such a breath of fresh air. Me and my boyfriend both agree that your voice is so calming 😊. I love watching your videos. I have noticed that you don't have kids or wear nail polish. Me and my boyfriend are child free. I knew I did not want kids from when I was in high school. I love my childfree life. As far as nail polish goes I am addicted to nail polish. I adore having my nails painted. I have decided that next year starting now I won't wear nail polish for a whole year. It has only been 2 weeks and I feel so free already. I mentioned these two things because I think it would be cool if you could talk about your nails and if/why your nails are bare and also if you are childfree that would also be interesting for you to talk about? I am 32 and it feels cool to see other women in my age group without kids. If you don't want to talk or make a video about it I really do understand.

Yes! So simple yet so profound!
Wise words ❤️
One that stuck with me and I’ve found true is: How you do one thing is how you do everything. Makes me stop when I lose discipline and remember to approach each activity or filler time intentionally, in alignment with my values. Easier said than done.
That’s one thing I’m trying just now. I don’t realise how all over the place I was until I tried it for the first time.
Love all this. Another creator said that we should focus on monotasking rather than multitasking. I love that.
🙌🙌 it really helps
It’s a constant struggle to not be on a device too much. I often wish I could go back to the time when cell phones were simply used for making phone calls or texting. Thanks for your content.
I do wish that too. It seems like everyone's struggle...
Bec of this video, I am no fully decided to switch to a dumbphone. I’ve been considering it for a couple of yrs now. This is my push. Thank you, dear!!
I'm sure it'll be so helpful to get rid of the distractions
Self discipline matters so much! Make good choices!
It does! We have to do it for ourselves 🙌❤️
This was perfect timing 👌 Thank you I needed to hear those confirmations and tips. I hope you always find the joy in your new place, Malama ❤️
Thank you so much ❤️
I do love this kind of reminder. Today I was writing about the things I need to focus on and eliminate things that don’t align with me for the next couple years. And pay attention to what I really want. Social media is fine as long as we know how to balance things together

You always have so many good reminders for us in this age of technology. I really enjoy your channel!

Your videos are so artistic; a joy to watch. Such a valid topic. It’s important to be present & not in a virtual world. 🌞
Thank you so much ❤️🥰

Yes! You're so right about nor being to recall it later on. Thank you for the sweet comment
7:53 "distractions fighting for my attention" yup ❤
😍❤️
What happens to me a lot is that my thoughts start running in my head while I watch videos, so I have to go back and rewatch the parts I missed.
I watched Buy Now with my adult son, we both implemented changes with how we (what I like to call) "consumer maneuver"...which happened to be just in time for Christmas.
It's a must see.
I honestly love you wholeheartedly. Watching any of your videos always brings me back down to earth and motivates me to actually be the version of me I´m most comfortable with! Thank you so so so much for your lovely videos and contribution of peace to this chaotic world of ours

Such a helpful reminder for my Saturday morning. :) Currently on a journey of re-connecting with my creative hobbies, and becoming more mindful of how I choose to spend my time is an important component to that. Thank you!
I feel like holiday season is the perfect time to come back home to ourselves and reclaim peace 💖
Thanks for sharing❣️

Thank you for your good content. Always fresh .. I can feel that you think and check something informative in our life…very good!

Thks is a great reminder to check in with myself, enjoyed this one. Great content as always Sophie ❤
Thank you for watching ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful video...I've been trying to focus on being more focused and intentional, particularly when it comes to social media.
Yes, thank you Malama this is exactly what I was thinking this morning. I definitely got good ideas and habits from your video. Excellent!!! 💯
Thank you for watching ❤️🥰
I stopped taking my phone with me when I go for a walk with my dog and alone this is making me come home with a much quieter mind and soul.
Make space for what you really want to focus on- i reminder that i badly needed. Thank you Ms. Sophie!😍
I began only having one or two tabs open a few weeks ago. I really didn't think I could do it, but it's going very well! I love some of your ideas and will be trying them out.

I value those moments with my loved ones ❤ I hope he will grow up with awareness
This sounds like ADHD
Such an inspiring video again, thank you! This is a topic that needs a lot of reminding🙂
Glad to hear that. Thank you for watching 🥰

So true… how my attention has come down sooo much after the short content. When I see a video I scroll for the next video 🫣
I am also watching Buy Now on Netflix and it makes me feel like not buying anything anymore especially clothes 😄 Have been following you for since you started this channel and taking a moment to thank you for your soothing voice and insightful content Sophie. ❤
They released the documentary right on time for the holidays! Thank you so much for the kind words 🥹❤️
Thank you Sophie ❤🌸🌻

What a perfect video right before the holidays! Thank you for the reminder to take a deep breath and slow down and recline what’s mine - time 😌
Yes yes yes ❤️😍🙌 the most precious resource we have
I could relate to this soo much!!! I do agree that technology has really become the new norm “Stimulus”
It really has!
Thank you ! ❤
Thank you so much!
Hello Sophie, thank you for this video I need to reclaim my focus.
Thank you for watching ❤️😍
Yes! Intentional media consumption is something that's been on my mind lately. I want to grow and continue that habit for sure.
🙌❤️
I hope you will make more video🙏🏻 your videos always helpful 🙌🏻🫶🏻
Much needed video, thank you for this beautiful video, let's think the life without WiFi, wow we have more time for ourselves, family and friends 😍.
Yesss 🙌🙌❤️ can you imagine
Yes, I read the comments section while watching a video. And I have so many tabs open that I can't read the the site is about. Lately, I've been trying to regain focus because I'm to the point where I'm questioning "Do I have ADHD?" Thank you so much for this video.
Cal Newport- love his books! And his podcast- highly recommend
Love his books too 🥹
Loved the content Sophie...❤you pick something out of blue always and bang on its relatable...I would play the spy game...😂
im constantly trying to reduce my tabs as well! if i want to go back to it, i just save it as a bookmark :)
The book mark function is sooo underrated 🙌
This channel always relaxes me. Time to close those dozens of open tabs. What was the name of the documentary you mentioned?
Buy now on Netflix :)
@@MalamaLife thank you
this made me emotional.... those wifi-free coffee shops... yes!!
❤️🥰
After watching this video, I think you must have taken my suggestion and read the book Stolen Focus by Johann Hari. That book is life changing for me.
No I haven't yet 😮 but it's on my list
I agree it’s a must read, I have the book and audiobook
They have Cleaners for that! Your Jazz Music 🎵 is as Classy as you Complements your Story Telling! Your Dogs Are so well Behaved and Spoiled I Love them!!🤣 Do you And your Husband Have a Favorite Traditional Dinner That you Make for New Years???
I love your videos!
❤️❤️❤️
I did stop the video to leave a comment 😂. I actually follow you on Spotify bc in the morning I like to listen to your older podcast while driving especially to reset. It's funny this video came at the right time too. I find myself also doing that watching something on TH-cam or Netflix but still pick my phone. It's become a habit too 🙂. Also I follow you on IG. Have a wonderful day and happy holidays. I'll have to check that show you mwntion ❤
Aww you're so sweet ❤️❤️❤️
I would love to know the recipe you made in the video. It looked delicious ❤
Great video, Sophie!! Thank you 😊.
Excellent post that We ALL NEED.❤Thank You
Question: How did you find your place in Portugal?
Thank you so much for watching 😊 I have a good friend here I met last year, and he helped us find a place
Lovely video! Also I too watched Buy Now. It was an interesting style for a documentary but I liked it. Really brought out the raw and ugly truth about consumption. Would love to see a video from you about your thoughts on it. ❤️
I enjoy making comments on TH-cam. nice to meet you.
❤ Have a great day Malama Life!❤
❤️❤️❤️ you too
Very beautiful Vlog ❤❤❤
Thank you :)
I have an online business so my work resolves around using social media and I anyway have an overactive brain where I just can't stay away from mindless content consumption. I really really need to get my priorities straight! In all this, I barely get to spend time with myself - introspecting, looking within. Ahhhhh it is a constant struggle. Sorry I am just ranting at this point. 😅
Hello Sophie :) My name is Rita, I'm from Lisbon, I do tours and bike tours. I would happily show you around if you want, or go to a traditional restaurant. I hope you guys have a really nice time. Portugal has amazing places to disconnect. Wish you well :)
malama do you have a podcast? i think i’d really enjoy it ☺️
Thank you so much. I don't have separate podcast episodes, but I upload my videos on podcast platforms :) You can search "malama life."
That tab-closing challenge is really hard 😂🥲
So good to see your husband's face at the beginning as he is usually a man of mystery 😊
Haha yes he is a man of mystery 😁🫶
I felt caught out by the question about the open browser tabs. There were only three at the time. That's okay, isn't it? 😅
Thanks for the reminder!
Focus is definitely lost too often.
You can do whatever what works for you 🙌 I just feel anxious when I have more than 3 open 😆
Well, i have 214 right now. Researching and taking notes.
Yay! One tab at a time.😌
🙌❤️🥹
Love your neckless in this video, could you tell me where didi you get it? Thank you
A brand called Agapée
Great video!
Me I have 1 tab only... Your TH-cam Channel only :) ❤ Love you since day 1 😊
Awww, thank you so much! ❤️😍
Yes, I've been doing all these... It's time for a reset 🙂
Definitely time for a reset
Stepping out side to see Gods creations. ❤❤❤

YES, this is really messing with my attention span and I can’t seem to muster the discipline to stop it
What did you slice into quarters and put in the oven?
Chestnuts 🌰
I had so many tabs open, but one day, after a system update, they disappeared! 😂 I don’t even know if I needed them or not. Probably not, since I was keeping them open just to read later, but they had been open for half a year. Now, I only have the tabs I actually need opened.
🤣 I love that! The system update was a blessing in disguise
the fact that nobody talks about Unveiling Your Hidden Potential by Bruce Thornwood speaks volumes about how people are stuck in trance
Hello Sophie. I love love watching your videos. Your channel is such a breath of fresh air. Me and my boyfriend both agree that your voice is so calming 😊. I love watching your videos. I have noticed that you don't have kids or wear nail polish. Me and my boyfriend are child free. I knew I did not want kids from when I was in high school. I love my childfree life. As far as nail polish goes I am addicted to nail polish. I adore having my nails painted. I have decided that next year starting now I won't wear nail polish for a whole year. It has only been 2 weeks and I feel so free already. I mentioned these two things because I think it would be cool if you could talk about your nails and if/why your nails are bare and also if you are childfree that would also be interesting for you to talk about? I am 32 and it feels cool to see other women in my age group without kids. If you don't want to talk or make a video about it I really do understand.
Hi :) I also don’t paint my nails…. I’ve come to really love the bare nail look and I think it’s so beautiful and feminine … and easy to maintain .
Where you are living looks lovely and interesting. X
