It's actually incredible just how strong habits can become, like being on your phone too much. It becomes muscle memory and a part of your day, but the minute you take a trip, spend a few busy days without it etc, you get back on it and wonder what the hell you were even doing on it all those hours. Sometimes you really need to just dive in the deep end with these awful habits and feel the discomfort - it's only a thought you're experiencing, which is an illusion.
As a highly sensitive person, I’m always drained at the end of the day from feeling and sensing things at a heightened level. I really struggle with sleep as I require more than the average person does to truly feel recovered from the constant stimulation around. I enjoyed your video which encourages those to step back from the noise and find balance from the productivity-demanding societies we live in.
This woman does an excellent job, too. She always has an excellent message. She teaches on her channel how she transformed her life into being minimal. She shows her wardrobe & how she matches her clothes to own the least she can own. She is a smart cookie, she has a financial degree in something. Her & her husband live in Hawaii & she explains everything, like how by slowing her life down, they then rented out part of their home to afford a calmer lifestyle. All of us Soldiers need to do this because the over stimulation is unhealthy!
God is in everyone and everything, and after the winter comes the spring, God is unlimited by no one and no thing ... All that matters is a wonderful thing... After the darkness of the night , The sun would be shining bright ... After a war and after a fight , Peace would prevail to be alright ,
I love being a hermit, for periods of time. Sitting in a quiet cinema, with popcorn, or going on a hike in nature. You can be your own bestie. One more thing, about sleep, I find its good to "cradle the mind" in that hour before bedtime. Think nice relaxing thoughts, or dont think too much at all ; but certainly, avoid upsetting, draining complicated thoughts. Thank you for your work, I've been an appreciative follower for a long time. ( ps. that little dog is a cutie )
That’s the definition of a priority: something we HAVE to do. So much toxic “productivity” surrounds us, that even a basic need like sleep has become “ self care” as if it’s an indulgence. Thank you for the gentle reminder of what life can be. ❤️
I can so relate to the constant background noise and I'm trying to cut it out a little bit but I have such negative intrusive thoughts these days that if I stay in silence for longer than 5 minutes, I think about painful things and get depressed. I know it's a quick and unhealthy fix for now though, so I'm looking forward to finding other ways to cope. Thank you for that beautiful and thoughful video, I enjoyed it a lot and you are have such a relaxing voice that it truly made me feel at peace for a moment ❤
Tech-free mornings and a wind-down routine are such a important part of my day, something that I really look forward to. It helps my mental health imensilly ❤️
Im glad I found your channel. I was hospitalised for a week and had to take a long break from work due to several health conditions that were triggered by toxic environment & systems and people. After seeing this video, it shows that im not alone. Thank you for speaking your mind to the community and the world. The world needs to hear more of ‘slow things downa bit’.
Dreadful News Feeds should be kept to minimum. Too much drains the spirit. Just getting out, feeding a few wild birds in a local park boosts positivity and reboots a over stimulated mindset. Welcome back Sophie 🕊 ❤
This message is so needed for our world right now. I feel like things slowed down during the pandemic then went to 10x speed right afterwards. Thank you for being a voice of wisdom in these crazy times!
I've also started catching myself listening to podcast whenever I'd be washing dishes, doing laundry, brushing teeth, flossing, showering. The negative side of this is that constant listening allow me to think, reflect and hear the voice of my conscience, Spirit or God, because my ears are always busy. I am going to start working backwards to allow myself space to think.
In our world it's easy to forget that we don't need to have the latest item and how important it is to have a safe and calm space. I love watching your videos because it reminds me that I don't need more
This is just what I needed to hear. I feel like I am often distracting my inner noise with exterior noise and therefore never finding piece. I recently starting "parenting" my phone and putting it to bed at 9:30/10pm to help me get distance from it. Thank you for your videos they are great.
I love this. I've recently started to "de-badge" my home too. Listerine bottle gets poured into a label-less bottle. Soap into a label-less bottle. Laundry detergent into a label-less bottle. Little logo sticker on TV removed. Book collection pruned to reflect my current values and interests. As much as possible. Even my art has become really mild and ambient rather than evocative (this one I could see being very personal as compared to the others). It's subtle but has actually added a lot of peace to my bathroom and kitchen especially.
Recently I took a step back from corporate America as it forced me too. I was burnt out and my nervous system took a toll on me. I enjoy slow mornings, nature walks, books, NO more social media only TH-cam videos sometimes. I am starting a new slow down chapter in 2024.
On the fast living world.took too much i missed taking care of my health. I realised after having a health issue. We need to realise what truly matters in life . Your videos are helpful.
Thank you so much for this! You just helped me do my chores in silence which allowed me to think thoroughly, and now I have the urge to deep clean and donate my belongings that have been sitting unorganized for months. The importance of space and organization even when it’s hidden is a great reminder for peace.
Glad to see you be back, Sophie😃! I totally agree that there are so much stimulants and information everyday and we need time to be silent and practice mindfulness so that our brain can have a break. Thanks again for the reminder 🙏.
I needed this right now, thanks youtube for recommending this to me en thank you Malama for the beautiful message. I’m a big time victim of overstimulation
I am 66 and have suffered from insomnia for years. I have recently made it my quest to eliminate or at least reduce stimulation. I find it is helping like nothing else has.
Love your videos. Since I became a mum, I've become highly sensitive, and easily overwhelmed. I handle it well with self-care and self-soothing, but it's nice to know I'm not alone in this sensitivity.
God, mothers are amazing. You have my utmost adoration. It is not easy-not one bit but you still keep going mama. Bless your soul. I hope you stay kind to you while you navigate motherhood and your own body. 🤍
Thank you so much for this video. I love how you recognize the need for stimulus, but identify our need for a BALANCE. We aren't to live entirely in either world. Much love, you've helped another soul
This video came to me from the divine. Its exactly what I needed now :). Been feeling overwhelemed with this constant need to "DO SOMETHING". Just watching this kept my mind at rest. Lots of love to you! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you !!
Sophie your video came just when I needed it the most, I'm so glad you're back but I'm also glad you got the break you needed. this video is one wonderful and I love how you put into words how overstimulation can translate to the home environment. Incredible job as usual, I hope you have a wonderful week
I can identify with you. I love how calm your tone of voice is while you explain these factors that contribute to sensory overload, and learning how to relax, release, and live in the present moment. This is such an important factor to protect your health. Thank you for sharing! ❤
I love this video and agree with your points! Also, I'd like to add that headphones are still a great tool for blocking out external noise for those more prone to overstimulation in busy or louder areas. As an HSP (highly sensitive person), even having headphones on inside with no sound playing, allows me to preserve my energy for longer periods of time.
I saw two of your videos just now for the first time and i found the following: 1. The content is so relatable to me 2. I can easily connect to the point of being sensitive 3. The way you pick up several topics in a major topic is just flawless 4. You know what messed up minds do to people and how it disturbs the inner peace 5. Your background music itself is a big healer. A big thumbs up to you...keep creating such insightful content on self care & mental healing... ❤️
I love your videos. I’ve made it a goal last week to not scroll through instagram when I wake up. I found I spent less time in bed and can just appreciate what’s in front of me more like my husband, my dogs, the morning light, just the quiet and peace. It’s the small things but it helps. I never thought about the constant background noise before but I tend to do that too. I’ll have to take breaks from that from time to time. You videos do help me to calm down and recenter. I really appreciate you
Thank you. This is what I need ❤. I realized why I feel better when I take vacations and go abroad - I use much less my cellphone instead enjoy the nature, the architecture, the meals - stay present at a time 💝
@@MalamaLife wow, a reply! So nice. I did actually forward this to my daughter in Calgary, from here in Bamako, Mali! Thanks so much. God bless you and your home with peace.
Your videos always engulf us in a sense of peace we want to emulate in our own daily routines. Thanks for the guidance. Love the way you incorporate quotes at strategic moments. Your scenery, editing, and music are all lovely & perfectly coordinated. Not an easy thing to do. You’re talented & appreciated by all of us 🌞🌸
Sophie, I have really missed your videos! It is so great to have you back! I’m glad that you were able to take a much needed break with your family. Thank you for another amazing video and I’m looking forward to your words of wisdom next week! Have a blessed day!🙏🏼💕
This video just came across my screen and I am so glad it did. You are so right about all of the stimulation that we receive. As being a "pre technology" child, I can compare the differences that advancement has made in our lives. It is for the good, but it is important to stay healthy with a balance. I, personally, have had sensory issues later in life and understand how precious this detox is. I am looking forward to more of your content. ♥
I really love the way you narrate in your videos plus your voice is relaxing to listen to. I also had been used to having music or podcast while cooking or washing dishes, but one time I forgot my earphones and did the chores anyway. I felt better doing that so I kept doing my chores like that and I realized that I had been exposing myself to too much stimulation since I was either watching videos or listening to something even if I was not doing chores
We have a lot in common. I'm also highly sensitive and intuitive, have problens sleeping and i love peace, quiet and a clean organized space. Great video.looking forward to more from you
Perfect timing with this beautiful video. I just changed positions at my company, right after my husband did some remodeling in our home. I'm definitely stressed out and dealing with sensory overload from work and realizing how much more I need to declutter to feel at peace. Thank you for the helpful tips and insights. 💕
I'm absolutely sitting down to play Hades for a while now before bed. This interview was so informative and I LOVE how much Professor knows and how confident she is when talking about the greek myths. I dream of being as confident in one topic as she is 🤩 Thanks for sharing with us, Megan! I'll be checking out the rest of your Hades' videos. Looking forward to watch them all!
Thank you for reminding us of this powerful message. It’s so easy to be distracted and have constant stimulation around us at all times. But when I take the time to be mindful and be silent to be with my thoughts (even though it’s intimating sometimes), I feel much calmer. Thank you for another wonderful video.
Hey Sophie! Thank you so much for this video. I appreciate the work you did to put into this. I am also a highly sensitive person. When I find myself experiencing sensory overload, my partner shuts off all of the lights and closes the blinds. Those small things have definitely helped me to calm my nervous system down.
Usually, detox videos are só mechanic and superficial that don't catch, but in yours i can see that is a personal experience, that have been well thinking, not just scripted... That's was very good
This couldn’t be more perfect timing! I’m feeling so overwhelmed lately with all the stimulation I’ve been seeking out online lately, making me feel stressed and tired and for what exactly? Great advise and beautifully worded. Time to take responsibility!
Really enjoyed this video and it resonated with me so much. As a HSP I know it can be so challenging balancing engagement with quiet time and solitude. Thank you for a great video and I look forward to watching your other ones too!
I completely understand the need to be without the noise. This is something that I am experiencing this year. I learning how to shut off the noise and be in the moment. I am glad that you got the break and healing that you needed, and I am glad that you are back.
As the proud parent of a special needs child, my life is always busy. Always requiring my wife and I to pay attention. I too would automatically put on my headphones doing chores, working out, etc, but I learned to embrace the quiet moments I do have. Silence would irritate me but now, I love it. My drive to and from work are now with the radio off. No music, just the sounds of the road. I appreciate these moments as it helps bring mental clarity throughout my day.
I also visited Seoul lately, I felt the same way as you do... Thank you so much for your videos, they always help to get a breather from hustling daily life or mind!
thank u for making this type of content, I don't know what's wrong with me these days and I'm just realize that this is the impact of my social media so absolutely I need a digital detox for several days. Thank u so much for helping me
"Less words." That's the prompting I felt quite strongly in my Spirit just a couple of days ago, and it has lingered since. I think that getting rid of some books is the step I am going towards right now to help lessen stimulus in my currently fairly small living environment. :) Thank you for the video! It really resonated with my heart and desires. With gratitude:)
Love your channel Sophie you always make me smile and always brighten up my day you always be my Favourite TH-camr and my inspiration hope your having a beautiful weekend🥺💫💗
Sleep is so important. In the first 1.5 years as a mother I had 0-5 hours of sleep a night and never in one go. I'm slowly recovering from it and listening to my body's signals. Nobody understands why I don't want a second child (especially now). I'm not willing to push my mental and physical health to the limit and I don't listen to what those around me say. Thank you very much for your video ❤️
So great to see you again! I’ve missed your videos ❤ For a long time I had trouble falling asleep at night. I tried all different methods but I would still lay there in bed with my mind spinning. About a year ago I started to do yoga nidra most everyday for at least ten minutes. I now have the ability to shut my brain off in bed so I almost never struggle to sleep. And on some nights when my partner is still up and about I’ll put in ear plugs to stop any distracting noises. Yoga nidra is quite a powerful thing and I recommend it to everyone ❤🙏
I deeply resonate with these feelings of needing constant stimulation & then overstimulation. I thought this was true for everyone, and I just ‘loved learning’, but realized recently that I am neurodivergent (high-functioning ADHD) and the brain’s lack of dopamine creates urges & too many thoughts at the same time (without properly filtering them to allow us to focus on ‘one’ thing) and this is making it harder to just to ‘be’. I remember being at my best when I live slowly & meditate, but I usually find myself going back to the cycle of overextending myself again, because I didn’t understand that it is how this nervous system and brain works. I also learnt HSP & ADHD also tend to coexist, but the research for the different symptoms women with ADHD is so scarce, so many women continue to not get diagnosed, and sadly struggle alone. I hope more of us can learn about, understand and accept the idea that these conditions are at the root of this restlessness so that we can find better systems to manage overstimulation & find more peace more often. Thanks for sharing your experience & wisdom with us in such a beautiful way.
Sophie! Did you read my thoughts from across the ocean!? 😆😱 I am amazed and grateful. Your video is what I have been mulling over the last few days. Wow wow! Thank you so so much for this. I am looking forward to watching this again when I arrive home from work. This message the Universe is wanting me to understand sure has got my attention. I appreciate you Sophie and your content so much. Thank you again 🙏 Instead of complaining, it's time to implement some necessary yet healthy changes in my life 🌟
Always enjoy your videos. ❤️ I’m the same I’m very sensitive to too much news too much going on and I also like my house nice and simple. I don’t like headphones. If I go out for walks or garden I don’t like to hear anything other than nature. And cleaning I like music sometimes or nothing at all. I always need to reset when I get overwhelmed with information! Thanks again for the beautiful video!
This video is so calming and I am doing the same thing a digital detox so far things are pretty good but I still sometimes feel like I need to catch up on social media but I always remind myself why I do a detox and that’s been helpful so this is very relatable and I wear headphones a lot too so sometimes I have to tell myself okay I have to take a break from wearing them. ❤ but thank you so much.
This is eye opening to how much is being put through my senses and brain daily. It may seem silly but I do prefer to wear calmer clothing and avoid busy patterns because of the effect it has on others/to share that feeling.
your videos are soooo beautiful! peaceful, calming... and educating. I feel like there is nothing more I can wish for in a vlog(?) from a youtube content creator. the wise words, the aesthetics, the vibe, the sound, the music, the cuts...all of them perfectly edited and proportionned. your chanel is my favourite Sophie, thank you and keep up this excellent work!
This came at the right time. Today after work I felt tired from so much information overload. It's a reminder that I need to press pause more often. I do make it a point to reduce my phone usage, go for daily walks, fill my space with plants and furnishings with natural textures and make meals from scratch in order to stay connected to source. It really has helped me in many ways.
This is so beautiful and so helpful. I am a highly sensitive person who also has adhd. I’m currently working on treating my mental health as a priority. Thank you for sharing this video 🫶🕊️
Slowly getting there! 💪 Decluttering my home, finishing unfinished projects, setting "online" and "working" times for the day, endurance sports in the morning, "Forest bathing" during the day, muscle and brain excercise before bed, good sleep hygiene, focusing on benevolent relationships,... It might sound performance-based, but is in fact just getting back to decelerating natural habits, which protect the highly sensitive brain from unhealthy overload 🙏
Watching your videos is so calming for me. Sometimes i watched your videos intentionally for therapy. I wanted to practice my body and mind to focus in the moment and by watching your content allows me to remember that I'm enough (your present being is enough and thats whats important).
Loved watching this vlog. I, too, get overwhelmed by trying to keep pace with today's world. Naturally sometimes I become a hermit. Writing a journal is, in my opinion, the best method of being in touch with your inner self. And that's the most important thing in anyone's life! Btw you've used some excellent quotes!😊
2:06 „the fresh of breath air“ made me happy for some reason lol, I jumble my words all the time I feel not so alone now
im dead
I was thinking the same thing! I had to rewind to make sure I heard it right. LOL

This message is so needed for our world right now. I feel like things slowed down during the pandemic then went to 10x speed right afterwards. Thank you for being a voice of wisdom in these crazy times!
Wonderful thanks for sharing 😊

The propaganda was going full blast during the ahem "pandemic."

I loved this entire video - so many meaningful messages. But I must admit I giggled at “fresh of breath air” at 2:08!🤭
I had to rewind because she says it so smoothly I had to check myself lol ❤
I had to listen 3 times and then check the comments for if anyone else said anything about it 😂
didn'T even notice :D

This is the most eye-pleasing and soul-pleasing video I have seen in a very long time.
Thanks for the insight.
Thanks for always supporting!! ❤️❤️
Perfect timing with this beautiful video. I just changed positions at my company, right after my husband did some remodeling in our home. I'm definitely stressed out and dealing with sensory overload from work and realizing how much more I need to declutter to feel at peace. Thank you for the helpful tips and insights. 💕
I can only imagine! Hoping everything will fall into place after the remodeling
Thank you. I need this now. I’m feeling overwhelmed and you’ve given me some great ideas to help me get back on track ❤
❤️🥰
I'm absolutely sitting down to play Hades for a while now before bed. This interview was so informative and I LOVE how much Professor knows and how confident she is when talking about the greek myths. I dream of being as confident in one topic as she is 🤩 Thanks for sharing with us, Megan! I'll be checking out the rest of your Hades' videos. Looking forward to watch them all!
Thank you for reminding us of this powerful message. It’s so easy to be distracted and have constant stimulation around us at all times. But when I take the time to be mindful and be silent to be with my thoughts (even though it’s intimating sometimes), I feel much calmer. Thank you for another wonderful video.
❤️🥰 yay!!
Dear Malama Thank you for such good advice, I definitely need to have some space and peace whilst going through a separation. Blessings 🙏🏽
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
Hey Sophie! Thank you so much for this video. I appreciate the work you did to put into this. I am also a highly sensitive person. When I find myself experiencing sensory overload, my partner shuts off all of the lights and closes the blinds. Those small things have definitely helped me to calm my nervous system down.
Usually, detox videos are só mechanic and superficial that don't catch, but in yours i can see that is a personal experience, that have been well thinking, not just scripted... That's was very good
Just here to share my thoughts :) Thanks for watching
This couldn’t be more perfect timing! I’m feeling so overwhelmed lately with all the stimulation I’ve been seeking out online lately, making me feel stressed and tired and for what exactly? Great advise and beautifully worded. Time to take responsibility!
Really enjoyed this video and it resonated with me so much. As a HSP I know it can be so challenging balancing engagement with quiet time and solitude. Thank you for a great video and I look forward to watching your other ones too!
I completely understand the need to be without the noise. This is something that I am experiencing this year. I learning how to shut off the noise and be in the moment. I am glad that you got the break and healing that you needed, and I am glad that you are back.
I think it's so important!
As the proud parent of a special needs child, my life is always busy. Always requiring my wife and I to pay attention. I too would automatically put on my headphones doing chores, working out, etc, but I learned to embrace the quiet moments I do have. Silence would irritate me but now, I love it. My drive to and from work are now with the radio off. No music, just the sounds of the road. I appreciate these moments as it helps bring mental clarity throughout my day.
Thank you for sharing ❤ Kind reminder when I am feeling overwhelmed, I will try to adapt some habits.
Thanks for watching ❤️
I love that for her. Such a beautiful soul inside and out 🌺
I also visited Seoul lately, I felt the same way as you do... Thank you so much for your videos, they always help to get a breather from hustling daily life or mind!
Your voice is so soothing. This was like meditation. Thanks. ❤
❤️❤️
Your voice is so relaxing!! I love to hear you! Also the message was incredible, thanks💛
Thank you so much ❤️
Your content is so calming yet informative I really appreciate your videos thank you for sharing
Thank you so mcuh
thank u for making this type of content, I don't know what's wrong with me these days and I'm just realize that this is the impact of my social media so absolutely I need a digital detox for several days. Thank u so much for helping me
"Less words." That's the prompting I felt quite strongly in my Spirit just a couple of days ago, and it has lingered since. I think that getting rid of some books is the step I am going towards right now to help lessen stimulus in my currently fairly small living environment. :) Thank you for the video! It really resonated with my heart and desires. With gratitude:)
Love your channel Sophie you always make me smile and always brighten up my day you always be my Favourite TH-camr and my inspiration hope your having a beautiful weekend🥺💫💗
Thank you so much 🥹❤️
Sleep is so important. In the first 1.5 years as a mother I had 0-5 hours of sleep a night and never in one go. I'm slowly recovering from it and listening to my body's signals. Nobody understands why I don't want a second child (especially now). I'm not willing to push my mental and physical health to the limit and I don't listen to what those around me say. Thank you very much for your video ❤️
So great to see you again! I’ve missed your videos ❤ For a long time I had trouble falling asleep at night. I tried all different methods but I would still lay there in bed with my mind spinning. About a year ago I started to do yoga nidra most everyday for at least ten minutes. I now have the ability to shut my brain off in bed so I almost never struggle to sleep. And on some nights when my partner is still up and about I’ll put in ear plugs to stop any distracting noises. Yoga nidra is quite a powerful thing and I recommend it to everyone ❤🙏
My favorite video of Sophie so far!! I really really needed this at this exact moment! Goodbye TH-cam, today is my day off from everything!
I deeply resonate with these feelings of needing constant stimulation & then overstimulation. I thought this was true for everyone, and I just ‘loved learning’, but realized recently that I am neurodivergent (high-functioning ADHD) and the brain’s lack of dopamine creates urges & too many thoughts at the same time (without properly filtering them to allow us to focus on ‘one’ thing) and this is making it harder to just to ‘be’.
I remember being at my best when I live slowly & meditate, but I usually find myself going back to the cycle of overextending myself again, because I didn’t understand that it is how this nervous system and brain works.
I also learnt HSP & ADHD also tend to coexist, but the research for the different symptoms women with ADHD is so scarce, so many women continue to not get diagnosed, and sadly struggle alone.
I hope more of us can learn about, understand and accept the idea that these conditions are at the root of this restlessness so that we can find better systems to manage overstimulation & find more peace more often.
Thanks for sharing your experience & wisdom with us in such a beautiful way.
this was exactly what i needed to see today, thank you from the bottom of my heart
Sophie! Did you read my thoughts from across the ocean!? 😆😱 I am amazed and grateful. Your video is what I have been mulling over the last few days. Wow wow! Thank you so so much for this. I am looking forward to watching this again when I arrive home from work. This message the Universe is wanting me to understand sure has got my attention. I appreciate you Sophie and your content so much. Thank you again 🙏 Instead of complaining, it's time to implement some necessary yet healthy changes in my life 🌟
This was the most unique, beautiful, and helpful video I’ve encountered in a while. ❤Thank you.
Always enjoy your videos. ❤️ I’m the same I’m
very sensitive to too much news too much going on and I also like my house nice and simple. I don’t like headphones. If I go out for walks or garden I don’t like to hear anything other than nature. And cleaning I like music sometimes or nothing at all. I always need to reset when I get overwhelmed with information! Thanks again for the beautiful video!
Just hearing that makes me feel at peace 😊❤️
Fresh of breath air that I needed hehe
I love your content ❤ you relax me. You give me peace. ❤
❤️😊 so happy to hear that!!
This video is so calming and I am doing the same thing a digital detox so far things are pretty good but I still sometimes feel like I need to catch up on social media but I always remind myself why I do a detox and that’s been helpful so this is very relatable and I wear headphones a lot too so sometimes I have to tell myself okay I have to take a break from wearing them. ❤ but thank you so much.
Everything about your videos, including you, is beautiful and relatable.
This is eye opening to how much is being put through my senses and brain daily. It may seem silly but I do prefer to wear calmer clothing and avoid busy patterns because of the effect it has on others/to share that feeling.
your videos are soooo beautiful! peaceful, calming... and educating. I feel like there is nothing more I can wish for in a vlog(?) from a youtube content creator. the wise words, the aesthetics, the vibe, the sound, the music, the cuts...all of them perfectly edited and proportionned. your chanel is my favourite Sophie, thank you and keep up this excellent work!
Thank you so much ❤️🥹

This came at the right time. Today after work I felt tired from so much information overload. It's a reminder that I need to press pause more often. I do make it a point to reduce my phone usage, go for daily walks, fill my space with plants and furnishings with natural textures and make meals from scratch in order to stay connected to source. It really has helped me in many ways.
lurveeeee the aesthetics and everything about this video. THANK YOU
I struggle a lot so I needed this kind of video!
Thank you🤍
Yes I can relate with this video so much… I will try your tips and see if they help me find my peace. Thank you for sharing this video
I hope it helps! It definitely does for me
Tank you 🌺🌿☀️ Everything is so simple and beautiful. Happy to see you again 💓
Thanks for watching
This is so beautiful and so helpful. I am a highly sensitive person who also has adhd. I’m currently working on treating my mental health as a priority. Thank you for sharing this video 🫶🕊️
So happy you enjoyed it ☺️
Hello!! Nice cozy content. Living the moment in peace with as much less worries as possible 🙏🙏❤️❤️
❤️😊 thanks so much for watching
Slowly getting there! 💪 Decluttering my home, finishing unfinished projects, setting "online" and "working" times for the day, endurance sports in the morning, "Forest bathing" during the day, muscle and brain excercise before bed, good sleep hygiene, focusing on benevolent relationships,...
It might sound performance-based, but is in fact just getting back to decelerating natural habits, which protect the highly sensitive brain from unhealthy overload 🙏
thank you for this, i needed to hear it. and ill use these for my journey for having less screentime and actually detox digitally. i love you!!
Thank you so much for this video. I’m currently experiencing the same thing and this gave me inspiration 😍
So happy to hear that! :)
Watching your videos is so calming for me. Sometimes i watched your videos intentionally for therapy. I wanted to practice my body and mind to focus in the moment and by watching your content allows me to remember that I'm enough (your present being is enough and thats whats important).
I love your therapeutic voice. Sometimes I would just listen with my eyes closed❤
Glad that you are back! :) A much needed one for me. Thanks and take care.
Thanks for the info. & all the reminders, it points me in the right direction.
❤️
Welcome back! 😊 I'm so happy that you took a break when you needed it ❤
Thank you 🥰❤️
Loved watching this vlog. I, too, get overwhelmed by trying to keep pace with today's world. Naturally sometimes I become a hermit. Writing a journal is, in my opinion, the best method of being in touch with your inner self. And that's the most important thing in anyone's life!
Btw you've used some excellent quotes!😊
Such an important video that needs to be discussed. This society is inundated with information, images, noise etc etc
