I spent most of my life searching for the big answers outside of me, making myself smaller and smaller. Today, holding a cup of tea, lying in my fluffy cloud bed, feeling the warmth in my palms, watching the curling tendrils evaporate, I have the whole world in me, and its enough. Thank you for your beautiful insights.
The videography in this video is so incredible! You somehow packages life changing lessons in these beautiful short monologues. I absolutely love your content 💛
1:01: Limit mindless content consumption 2:49: connect with nature 4:10: explore different hobbies and learn new skills 5:11: seek beautiful moments in ordinary life 6:32: engage wholeheartedly in anything you do I really love your pace of life!
''Finding hidden gems in our ordinary life'' - my gosh how much I loved that! The problem is that most of us are not even aware of having hidden gems in their lives, not to talk about actually looking for them! We rather focus on the negatives, on what we lack and ignore completely the ''gems'' as we believe that there is no ''gem''! But that's false as there are always some hidden gems, we just need to pay attention to them, polish them, give them a chance to shine! It's all about perspective and about what we actually choose to see in our lives, the light or the shadow! Great video dear Sophie, you always arouse my introspective side! Much love and see you soon! xx
I just found your channel and I’m so thankful I did. Your videos and monologues are medicine for the soul. Thank you for your service to the universe. The lens in which you view the world, your artistry in moving others with your words… is truly special. Wow.
We, as humans, seem to posses an innate inclination to connect with nature. But most of the activities we find ourselves engaged in take us away from its call. Taking the time to return and experience the exuberance of terra firma brings such inner peace! 😎
I feel you.. Maybe this will help you: when you feel down, lost or desperate, just take a moment to breath deep and think/say "I see you". It works for me, I guess because you acknowledge that particular feeling and it becomes clear as in how to deal with it. Wish you all the best!
You should do podcasts too! There have been so many times that I've just switched a video on and just kept my phone down to listen to you speak. You have such a calming voice that I often fall asleep to it. This video! Your voice and the sound of waves crashing in the background. Just perfect. 💜
@@MalamaLifeAh! Perfect! :D I now know what my "most heard in last year" will be in Spotify stats now. 😅 Just putting this out there (I'm sure you've heard this a bazillion times already though), but you played a very big role in my emotional and mental recovery and continue to do so everyday. I am thankful for that. So thank you! And I hope you have the best version of your life. 💜💜
so lovely! you're like an angel in the fairytale. I may not have time to make video this week again :/ i need to nourish my soul too! your pineapple is so lovely!
You are such a beautiful example! I want to be less timid as well and more enthusiastic. Isn’t it funny that something tells us not to be. These great concepts can help us all to become our best selves! Thank you for sharing! 🤍
Hi Sophie! This is Meenakhshi. I have no idea why or how I came across your videos here on RU-vid, I was watching legal news (!) , but I'm beyond glad that I did! Thank you for the beautiful videos, it's so helpful to cut the clutter of my mind amidst daily chaos. Presently I'm going through a difficult phase in life, both personally and professionally. Your videos are helping me to get a perspective. I'm so grateful! Your way of living is motivating a lot. Also, your voice is so soothing! Thank you so much! Keep making amazing content like this. Love from India! 🇮🇳 ❤🌼
I remember around 2016/2017 I starting to catch a few RU-vid videos, classic live rock performances from the 60s (I was a kid in the 60s, so felt like I missed out). Otherwise, I read books (no tv), as I have always done my adult life. That was the extent of my phone usage. Now I spend every evening and substantial hours on weekends watching RU-vid. It's taken over. I realize it's expanded my horizons, but at what cost? Just the blue light and EMFs alone, not to mention the TMI. Now I'm basically addicted. I've never done typical sicial media, I've never been interested in that, that truly would be too much and is unimaginable. I was at a bakery Cafe this morning and 3 gen z women sat diwn next to me, each had a laptop and a ohkne all actively doing both, zero conversation (then they all went to the bathroom at same time!🙂). I couldn't help admire their vital youth and spirit. But they are young women like all generations, just different trappings. However, this e technology truly is a revolution, similar to the industrial revolution I'm sure. It's a radical change in how we live and hang out, together or alone it doesn't matter, e tech is there. I truly do not know how to go back to books, even 50%. My goal is 75%. I think the internet is mostly like a resource to find information that leads to a book or an activity, but I don't think it has to be an end in itself, be all end all, like it's become. I do about 3 hours per day internet via my phone, a but more on weekends. But I do get out into nature on the weekends for an hour at a time. Times have changed, no going back, no sense going down a sentimental journey. Its about load management now. I think that's all I can do. Kind of scary what I've turned into. It's not too late to find a good book again, I hope. Thanks for your perspective and insights beautifully presented, as always. It's helping.
The amount of work u are putting in these videos is sooo appreciated . Love you and thanks a lot You are the favorite person always and forever and dearest to heart🍡🍓🍧🎉🥰🥰💖♥️❤️❤️🌙🫂🍓🥰
Your videos are changing my life. The first one I watched got me to slow down for the first time in at least a year. It's so important to live mindfully. I believe that working and also being mindful is important.
Hi there whenever I see your videos I get connected to nature, you are such a pure soul… The serene and beautiful place which I view through the videos makes me happy and close to nature. Your voice is so mesmerising and soft.
This content is amazing and rare. Exactly what I needed at this point in life. You should definitely consider transcribing all these videos into a book/Audible. ♥️
You can't beat, connecting with nature. Touching the bark ove a tree or taking a deep breath first thing in a morning !. When you put your earphones in Sophie, tune into the BBC world service, you will enjoy the topics they discuss from all over the WORLD. The best topics are after midnight in ENGLAND, I don't know what time it would be in MAWI. Great Video Sophie !!!.
I am absolutely in love with your narration and videography. I’ve had to watch it twice already because the first time I was just paying attention to how beautiful the video is and the second time to listen to the message!! Phenomenal as always!!! I’ve just realized recently that I was also distracting myself with too much content, constantly scrolling on social media and listening to/watching shorts on yt or ig, so this was such a perfect reminder!! Thank you for sharing!!
i totally agree💕 hey btw francesca, i recently started my own channel where i talk a lot about well-being, self growth and nutrition, if you wanna check it out☺️
Thank you so much for the last note of putting your heart into everything you do. I think this is an excellent reminder as we transition back to normality and being given more opportunities to be surrounded by others again. I’ve been feeling extremely down lately and could not figure out what what missing. I felt, after all, that I was taking care of myself physically, and stimulating my mind by reading, but I realize now I was completely failing to nourish my soul in the way you describe. I agree it’s hard to give it your all knowing you risk making yourself more vulnerable, but like you, I think I’m over it! So, thank you for touching on this and for the enlightening video!!
I realized that I also distract myself to be in the moment by scrolling through my phone, watching videos, etc... I will try to be more in the moment and enjoy my life as the way it is... Thank you so much ❤
i totally agree! hey btw rajneet, i recently started my own channel where i talk a lot about well-being, self growth and nutrition, if you wanna check it out☺️
Thank you, Sophie. I think one of the more challenging things on my journey is being surrounded by family/friends who live a fast life. It can feel alienating at times, but I'm looking forward to seeking out a like-minded community having moved to a new city, and am thankful for content like yours to keep us inspired and encouraged :)
Really soothing for eyes & mind.what a cinematic shorts. When I want a peace of mind I play your videos... It's really soothing and relaxing for me.. thank u
I keep coming back to this one Sophie I would love some peace of mind. I'll get there I think the key is to not try too hard but rather just float along and treasure the little things you discuss. Speaking of little things say hello to Lily for me. ❤
these videos are one of my daily meditation practices these days....soooo relaxing and I was thinking about painting as a hobby for so long but I usually got distracted but now I think it's time...gonna buy the tools so soon
Everytime I watch your videos I get to see an undiscovered area of my life. All your ideas nourish my soul to be it's finest version with gratitude. It's so slow and results oriented. So Sophie, Thank you, thank you very much 🧘❤️♾️
i totally agree💕 hey btw faye, i recently started my own channel where i talk a lot about well-being, self growth and nutrition, if you wanna check it out☺️
Beautiful video and great food for thought. To much content does consume me at times. It’s nice to hear that we should step back and enjoy and just be!!! Thank you for this wonderful video today.
yes i totally agree💕 hey btw sherrie, i recently started my own channel where i talk a lot about well-being, self growth and nutrition, if you wanna check it out☺️
Thank you for all you’ve said here. So very true. Your thoughts on connecting with nature are particularly poignant as it is such a simple thing to do and readily available to us. And I loved the pineapple moment too. Beautiful. 🌸
In principle, I agree with the general concept of connecting with nature and slow living....but if I were to walk around in beaches, meditating and doing water colour paintings every single day, I think less than one month, I'll be bored crazy...
The little pineapple grew large enough to be harvested. Yay! 😊🍍 Beautiful scenery and video. Awesome to see your channel grow over the last year... you're videos are so calming and inspiring!
I was surfing on the net then there was a piece of news that a interior designer said that we should avoid being a minimalist. unfortunately there was not any places to leave a message I think he was right if we avoid being a minimalist they can not earn more 😅
Thanks for making this another beautiful video to watch and learn from. You are amazing and your voice is very soothing. It is always very relaxing to watch your videos. Please keep them coming.
You're my inspiration-`,thanks for sharing your life experience with us ☁︎ your sounds never fails to make me cozy ♡︎ I appreciate that ☾︎ I enjoyed it as much as everyone else ☕︎ stay alive,,,God always bless you ♡︎ have a great weekend ♡︎ ☽︎
Whenever I visit your videos, it always gives me calm feeling and like a reminder to slow down with my life and my routines. I feel like finding myself again. My life goal is to live simple life like yours, that's truly nourishes my soul and meaningful for me. 🥰❤️🌙
i feel the same💕 hey btw xin, i recently started my own channel where i talk a lot about well-being, self growth and nutrition, if you wanna check it out☺️
Thank you for yet another wonderful content Sophie! You truly inspire me to live my ordinary life with gratitude. Because of you I was able to go out of a rut. Sending you love from Vienna!
Love and feeling very relaxing everytime I listen to your contents in tbe morning. It makes lighten my spirit and encourage me to select and do many positive activities all day.
I love this on the headphone front I'm super guilty but it's more because I live next to a freeway surrounded by noisy neighbour's. Right now someone is grinding and hitting metal with a hammer and there's a huge horse and trailer going past my window. But in the early morning or evening when there is more quite I just try and enjoy it
What I do to combat information overload is I listen to videos over and over or I listen to peaceful music / ambient sounds or anything familiar. It might also be my autism that contributes to this as I hate noise I don't know
