I got rid of the distractions from my life (and you can too!) 

"Focus. Be here and now. A distracted mind is a recipe for unhappiness." -Paulo Coelho

Anyone else want a recipe blog made by her? Everything she eats looks amazing😊

Nowadays, most of us don't want to face reality, it's bored, but the magical is when you can do that without spending your all time on social media waiting for a like.

I really needed this.. Been having a rough time with my mental due to job hunting and getting distracted from social media..constantly comparing my life to others is not healthy. So I deleted tiktok and Instagram to keep me focused. Your content keeps me sane and motivated. Thank you so much, Sophie. ♡

Thank you! After forty years chasing after what society wants for us, I went back to college and learned the topics that interested me. It meant saying 'no' to distractions more than anything else. I think you're absolutely right about unplugging from constant worry and materialism.

Being material rich weigh me down but a simple life freed me in alot of ways, that's so true ..! Thank you for your inspiring words .♥️♥️♥️

I hate having clutter and unnecessary things in my home. I feel you.

The sound of her voice is so calming..

‘Pay better attention to the life that is happening right in front of me’. This is so perfectly said and so true. Life is what is happening right in front of us, when we lose sight of that we lose sight of life. While things like mobile phones can be a convenience, the can also distract us from life.

Love your heart, Sophie. Your gift for organizing your thoughts and expressing them so poetically and truthfully is very special.

This is SO True! Checking the media or texting is such a big distraction!👍🏻👍🏻

Your voice is more healing than any relaxing music I could find in the whole internet. I've watched one of your video over a month a go and now it has become a habit for me to watch your videos when i am stressed out. It really helps me than anything else... ❤ Sending you lots of love..

Your voice is so smoothing. Thank you so much for sharing. ✨

All the happiness journey's include not having materialistic stuff and living life slowly enjoying all the things around us. All of this is what hinduism teaches us and can truly change your life 🥰

Letting go of mental clutter is so important but takes time. As for distractions, social media can be fun but also a distraction and one of the ways that I unwind is to simply read and write. Thanks for this lovely video.

Absolutely! I am in the process of decluttering. I can honestly say I have not missed anything that has gone out of the house. Thank you for sharing these beautiful thoughts in a beautiful way😊

Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤I am watching your channel for a long time and I always appreciate the simplesness, the sincerity and the serendipity you transmit. ❤️🙏 Lots of love from Romania!

Thank you Sophie! I’ve heard your message of letting go before but it is such an important reminder in the present. Holding on to the past good or bad never brings peace in the present. Beautiful being you are💕

Thanks for pouring your heart out. You’ve helped me appreciate minimalism and essentialism! 😊❤️

Just what I needed to watch before going to bed. It was an unnecessarily long and hectic evening today. Your words and this video brought me some relief.

I’m so glad I found this channel it’s exactly what I needed for the journey I’m on , please keep sharing

I resonated so much with what you’re saying. This is exactly the kind of life that I am building for myself. Very inspiring! Thank you.❤

You have such a calming voice and you inspire me with every video! Thank you so much :)

I found this video helpful because I feel like I’ve gone off course a little and this video was the reminder I needed. Thank you 😊

Thank you for this video Sophie. You don't know how much you have been helping me over the last year. The love of my life, my husband of 4 plus years, ended our marriage. The grief and devastation have been nothing less than traumatic & paralyzing. Your channel along with other favorites, professional help and 3 friends have been my sources of pulling myself through, fighting tooth & nail, to turn my journey into one of healing & opportunity. Distractions including clutter DEFINITELY have had a huge impact concerning my healing & restoration. It is also difficult for me to create a new life for myself when I have these distractions hanging over my head.... constantly. I have made progress.... slowly however surely....and thanks to this video, I am about to get up, put my phone down and continue what I had planned on doing today. And that includes going into nature and allowing myself to appreciate its beauty. Thank you again Sophie. I wish you & your husband and precious fur babies a wonderful weekend 🌞🌻🌹✨

I love your videos, they inspire me and your voice is so soothing to me. I look forward to watching and listening to them as often as I can

I’ve been a subscriber to your channel for a while now and your voice is very calming and soothing … so peaceful 🙏 so thank you

Un vrai moment de détente et de plaisir ! Tes vidéos sont vraiment apaisantes merci ❤

I think it is so important that you make your three things you want to get done list. It is good to have goals and to focus on them, and then you can get to the other things you should or need to. Very wonderful. Clutter truly is too distracting and not fun. Always a pleasure watching/listening!

Thank you for sharing your relaxing voice with us 💕

Thank you Sophie for posting. ❤

This was such a good reminder to take a good look at how we spend our time so we don't just get swept along, wake up one day and realize we didn't do what we really wanted to do. Thank you for this 💚 I got a double reminder the other day after watching this when I opened Lightroom and it said "Remove Distractions" 😅

I always enjoy your videos so much ❤thanks so much for always sharing with us!

I’m making a big change in my life and you make me feel like I can really do it ❤

I was JUST gifted The Myth of Normal this weekend!! LOVE Dr. Gabor Matè!

Just by listening to your voice I feel serenity. Your thoughts are priceless..

I’m glad I saw this as I am in the process of doing a huge decluttering . I have at times felt guilty for getting rid of certain things which I don’t want or even use !. I know this might sound odd, however your video has helped me a little with that now ❤

Your voice is so mesmerizing and calm ! Loved it ❤️☺️

Thank you for reminding us about letting go of distractions

Thank you so much for your videos! 😊 I just started my own channel and uploaded my first video and knowing how much work one video is, I appreciate your work even more. Your videos are so calming and helped me in a very difficult time, so thank you from all of my heart ❤

Sophie brings calm to a chaotic world 💖

Your videos are so calming, feel so relaxed after :) thank you

*We should learn how to keep only the absolute necessary...and meaningful in our lives...*

Well said Sophie.."having too much rather than not enough.."

Thank you…I use your vids like a guided meditation.❤

How much I love your content and videos that I keep coming back to them when I need inspiration, motivation and a sense of relief!! Please keep helping us simplify the way you do

Ahhhhh I love all your videos but this one really struck a chord

Gracias Sophie por regalarnos tanto Amor y Paz , a travez , de tu dia a dia. Un abrazo Cariñoso desde Santiago de Chile

Thank you for that video. Tomorrow is my birthday and all what you said is what I needed as my birthday gift ❤

I just take one time to sit and listen her (watch too) ! Amazing relaxing time ❤ no need more than this moment 😊

TYSM, Sophie. Always! 😍😍😍

Your content is so refreshing. Much love from Kenya

Want to thank you for sharing your beautiful life. I just started watching & listening to your videos they are very inspiring. I'm hoping to change my life to a simpler more full filling and healthy life for my children, my loved ones, & ultimately for me. ❤thank you so much!!

Perfect video for me as we are in the moving phase we are downsizing the challenge isn’t “can we live without that” instead We look at how fulfilling it is to be free from that item/s that took our time. So every box we pack has a purpose and a proper place in our new modest casita. Another awesome vid. Keep them coming

Adding this to my daily routine. Listening to her experience. ❤😊❤

Your videos are so motivating. Thank you❤

Hi!! I love this video and how you opened about distractions, I have a hard time with the phone, I find myself using it all day for whatever reason, I watch even emails if Instagram does serve me as distraction anymore, so I really appreciate you commented on this. I will be more conscious of the choices I am making and how much time I spend with the phone. Thankssss❤

Hi Sophie, I loved your initial statement more or less, our hardship cones from having too much rather than not enough - how profound. Most of us, certainly me, am often thinking about what I can bring into my life rather than what I can discard, or how I can fulfill a real need rather than a false need. Recently I thought well, my car has almost 100k miles, maybe it's a good time to get something newer before it breaks down. But that was just me with a "case of the wants", rather than just being haply with my present car which, yes, doesn't offer all the things I'd like - I see people all over the place with new luxurious cars and wish I could have that - but I'm living withon a budget and I take good care of my car and it will probably last another 100k miles. It's good enough. I realized I need to focus on deeper and present needs. Though it's also important to think of the distant future and to invest pur money, mostly I think it's important to focus on now and our true deepest needs, big or small. And ask ourselves always, what makes us happy, what is meaningful to us. Thanks for reminding us and giving us an example. And welcome back to the Hawaiin Islands!

sophie ❤thank you for another wonderful video. Those distractions take us away from our path….thank you for this reminder of how to stay true and focused 💐

Sophie your videos never get bored for me all the time and your videos are the best you inspired me so so much and I wish you have a amazing Friday!!💓✨

Again….. love this video! ❤

I love the simplicity! Thank you!

Thank you for this wonderful video!

You're welcome! I am a loyal viewer and I enjoy the quality of your content. I also love your outfits!!

Thank you for this channel ! Im learning so much

Greetings! Sophie How are you? I am so grateful to have come upon your channel. You are so inspirational. This is the first video l've watched and I am looking forward to viewing some of your other material. You are absolutely very rare Peace and Solitude 🦋

I love watching your you tube videos I started last year and its been amazing the things I've learnt along the way

Thank you for your calming videos ❤

Your videos are therapeutic , thank you dearest Sophie . Sending you lotsa love 😍

so calming and inspiring video thank you 😍🥰

I love watching your videos. Wish they were bit longer 😊 Thank you alot ❤

This is a very beautiful video. I loved its simplicity and the way you designed it. Thankyou for being

Totally identify, and I do the 3 per day concept. It has worked so well, and my No's, whether to me or voice to another, allows my inner strength not to do what I don't want to and not feel guilty or permit another to "make" me feel guilty. Also, I am way better with the internet (iPhone and laptop).

really good thoughts, I must read the myth of normal. Always good to see those dogs, they play a role in mind calming too.

So soothing to my soul thanks beautiful lady 🥰❤️💖🙏🏽👌

Thank you Sophie ❤

Hi, i love your channel, it makes me calm right now. I'm also an introvert and wanting for life simple. God bless🌻

I eliminated many distractions as well. Distractions hold us back from enjoying life and most importantly prioritizing our days.

I'm so happy that i found your account!!💗

1020am here, Sylvan Lake. Alberta. Hi Sophie! 🩷🙋‍♀️ Thank you for this. Also for mentioning the book "myth of nornal". Thinking about getting one. I have a lot of mental and emotional clutter at the moment. So this video certainly gently shook me to examine my thoughts....it's exhausting and very unhealthy to always spend time and energy on feeling too cramped in my brain and heart. I wish it is so much easier to let most of the clutter go. 😔 Take care Sophie. 🩷🩷🩷🙋‍♀️

Thank you so much for your videos. They are helping me rethink a lot of choices I'm making. I'm learning a lot from you. Keep you the good work

I appreciate you so much and i love watching your videos!!!thank you🙏😊🥰🤗

Thanks for sharing this beautiful video. I needed it ❤️

I really love watching your vlog and I study English from your videos. Thanks ❤❤

Loved the video. I do hope that all those candles are not just left in the sea. To have a peaceful, healthy and mindful life, we also need to take care of the environment and decrease pollution.

ok but i really LOVED this one 💕

I love your content it’s very calming whilst being helpful at the same time, I look forward to seeing more💛

You are my type of girl smart and simple , and your voice is almost imperfectly perfect 🥰

what a beautiful ceremony 🤍

Your videos are always worth to watch. You always bring a reminder to be calm and mindful of what we’re doing in our daily life. Can you please do a video of your new home tour? I’d love to see how you organise and decorate your space 🙏

With ADHD, so what’s helped me is when I use a Pomodoro app, so I have 25 minutes for chores or whatever, and 5 minute breaks after each session. I just have to actually prioritize doing that tho, cuz it’s easy to just hang out with the kids for hours or waste time on my phone instead of being productive or doing something else I enjoy that isn’t on my phone, like drawing, sewing, or cooking. (Instead of just making the leftovers stretch, and eating less healthy meals because they’re quicker.) Also that tree is gorgeous!! ❤

Aww even the dog looks at peace.. so cute 💕

I've been everywhere, done everything. After retiring 15 years ago I had to let go of the recurring impulse to work. I had to learn not to eat/drink bad things and clear my body of inflammation. I've accomplished everything and let go of ambitions of my youth. In 1970 only %7 of people lived alone according to Census data. Now almost %30 do. No coincidence- this was engineered. You're so cute @3:59 with a book opened to 'banana'. I chuckle. I chuckle at everything now. I fear nothing- I chuckle at fear. chuckle, chuckle, it's no joke, chuckle.

so helpful, thanks for this video!!!!

I love your videos so much and i wish to see more of them coming soon.

Thank you, Malama! I was lived in distracted life, literally in our house. But when I watch this video, I've learned a lot on how to do habits to avoid distraction and stay focus. 💚

So calming!hello from Athens Greece

This video was what I needed today! Thank you!

Very relaxing 😎 thank you 🙏
