A video about how to ENJOY a boring life, live in the present moment and start living for today.
The routine and repetition of daily life can often feel pretty dull. The morning rush, commute, work and the exhaustion of the evening can often lead us to question how our lives have become so boring. This can make us yearn for more excitement and find it difficult to feel content on a day to day basis.
As someone who used to find it hard to live in the present moment, everything changed once I discovered minimalism and adopted a slow living lifestyle. The act of slowing down enabled me to discover new elements of joy hidden within what I used to believe as "boring" or mundane, and I have since started to enjoy a more simple life more than ever before.
It really is in the simple things, small moments and new discoveries that I have found true joy and happiness and in this video I want to share how you too can enjoy your seemly "boring" life from a new perspective. How to start finding fulfilment in your everyday life and realise it may not be so boring after all.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below on this topic as I'd love to know!

"If you can't find happiness in a cup of coffee you can't find it in a yacht" This is such a profound quote, I'll always remember it. Thank you! 😍

@@lagomholly exactly. If we can't be grateful for our coffee and appreciate it, then we certainly are not showing gratitude and would certainly not appreciate a yacht. We would find fault with it. Gratitude feels so important to me ❤🥰❤🥰❤🥰

I enjoyed watching this video. I used to work a 9-5 and thought that staying at home, cooking, and taking care of plants was boring and never wanted to have that lifestyle. 5 years later that's my daily routine and I couldn't be happier. Now, I find joy in simple things and don't miss the overstimulation that a busy life gives me. (Also, your skin looks amazing!)

Dear Holly: hello from my cabin in the woods in Canada. I recently came upon your RU-vid posts. Your reasoning is not only simple and soothing…it possesses a very important component of self-reliance. The term “Lagom” was vaguely familiar to me, and was driving me crazy until I came upon it in my notes. A Scandinavian term roughly translated to “just the right amount”. You’ve hit the nail on the head…I wish you success and prosperity. Wayne Ross

@lagomholly 2 месяца назад

Hi Wayne, thank you for this really lovely comment and for sharing your thoughts here☺️ I’m so glad you’re enjoying my content so far. I couldn’t agree more that self-reliance is a key part in finding peace with oneself and balance in the world around us. Lagom is a philosophy very close to my heart and that has helped me to find balance not only physically but mentally too… and the ethos that forms the basis of this channel✨ I look forward to sharing more content and ideas with you soon! Greetings to Canada!🫶

Because of my severe depression and anxiety last year, I never enjoyed coffee like I used to. I'm just going through the motions of life on a day-to-day basis and always secretly wishing I would never wake up the next day. At 43 years old, I've had good years as an academician while being a married man. Now, I'm alone because my wife left me less than 2 years ago for reasons she could not even care to admit. My brain has been damaged due to this and I could barely focus on my work as a government researcher. I just want to give up already. Happy for you with what you're going through. Hope anyone who reads this would not have to go through the same ordeals as I do that anyone could not have prepared for.

@mark_tolver 2 месяца назад

That sucks. Just think of every day as one step forward and away from what you’ve been through. Take a walk outside, even if it feels like an effort, just for 5 minutes to help clear your head and tell yourself that you owe it to yourself to struggle through. Good luck!🙂

@magdalenamalczewska3218 2 месяца назад

Please pray to God and he will help you in your situation. The person you loved ( and probably still love ) left but please don't give up. Everything happens for a reason. She wasn't meant to you so let her go. She'll regret it. Please stay strong ❤

Thank you for sharing your story here, I can’t begin to comprehend how difficult this experience must be for you to endure🙁 I know it may not seem like it right now but I firmly believe you will come out of this stronger and this time too shall lead onto something greater for you.

Wishing you right back a “not so boring” day! I don’t want to miss the present moment I am in worrying about the future or even the past. I just want to learn to accept what life brings me, even if it is less than good. I love to reflect on my morals and choices and see how it all affects me, and finding your channel and the way you lay out your thoughts contemplatively really resonates with me!

@lagomholly 2 месяца назад

This is such a wholesome and tranquil video to watch! The scenery on your hike looks amazing, what a lovely spot to have an adventure. There's nothing better than finding new places to explore, It's so revitalising for the soul 😊 I went to one of my favourite places along the coast around a week ago to watch the sunrise. I was on the beach at 4.30 am and the sky was spectacular. At around five the sun was starting peak above the horizon and the reflection on the water was stunning. I took my dog along with me and I've never seen him so excited, we had the whole beach to ourselves for hours. 🐾 At the end of your video where you're chasing your dog around reminded me of playing chase with my dog on the shore last week. There such prescious beings and are great companions for exploring. It's lovely to see you having so much fun in this video, take care of Holly ✨

Great vid Holly. As a travelsr in India i made the decision to slow travel and live the everyday life in one place. I got alot of comments advising me to move on. But i dont want to move quick for the following reasons: *firstly....... Fast travel is not good for the environment and nor is is good for health. *i feel thet the only way to learn about a culture is to live it as a slow traveler. *Due to my decision to slow travel i have become best friends with people who were born and raised in india. They have very kindly taught me how to cook local dishes. Depth of relationships and such local food knowledge is not possible unless you slow life down in just one place. *slow travel means that i see festivals off season when the tourist crowds have moved on. They are therefore not experiencing such cultural depth. *i able to explore way off the beaten track and dive deep into tribal lives. Again, not possible unless you give your time to one destination. So your vlog dis definitely resonates with me Holly ❤

Thank you for sharing this!😃 You make some really interesting points here and it’s a concept I’ve not really come across within the slow living community before!

Wow, this is a beautiful video Holly :-) especially those shots you've taken outside look amazing. I never knew Spring in the UK could look so nice and lush.. but in a different kind of way. To me life is like music, you have your highs and lows, build ups and come downs, things seemer slower at times, other times the music is passionately thundering ahead in a bright chorus, and of course, you have your rests, which are just as important. We need to go through valleys to truly appreciate those mountain tops. We cannot truly appreciate Spring and Summer without Winter too. Besides all this, a great pastor I knew once told me, "It's in the valley where the real growth begins". So I learn to appreciate all of it, all the things God has blessed me with, and all the seasons of life He allows me to go through, because it's all for a greater purpose :-)

@lagomholly 2 месяца назад

@@stephenmacafee5478 thank you Stephen! I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better!😊 I like to try and keep in mind moments of low are often followed by moments of high, which always helps if things feel a little difficult knowing there’s better things to come☺️ It was a very sweet moment for sure I luckily managed to capture!🥹🐥 Wishing you the best and thank you for your support as always✨

@stephenmacafee5478 2 месяца назад

@lagomholly Awww thank you Holly :-) you're so sweet, I always love hearing from you. Yes, you're right! Often times low moments can precede a high moment, of which I've since had several, I made beautiful progress with a song I was working on, I did two hours of weights last night, I just got back from a 1 hour walk outside in the beautiful sun as it was setting, so I feel very healthy and invigorated. The ducks were very cute! Wishing you the best too, and keep being the amazing person you are :-)

Lovely video as always Holly and yes my life is boring haha but never when i listen to my music, you just can't beat a bit of the legend that is 'Gary Numan', love everything about him and his music and now his eldest daughter 'Raven Numan' has come into the music business and released 3 singles now which are amazing i may add, she is very talented and her music too is my kinda music. I do love Jasmine Thompson too, her song 'Adore' is so lovely and her other songs too but i do like a lot of different as well and it's music that keeps me going to be honest, it takes my mind off everything else in my life.
