It's always easy to enjoy the little things in life when you do not have to struggle or if you do not lose your job to the pandemic or your finances have not dwindled down to nothing. Everything is always beautiful if life is going your way, but how will you react if you are stuck in the middle of a storm, the boat is being tossed side to side, the waves are getting taller and the wind is blowing in every direction. Will you be able to enjoy life at that point? Who do you trust when the storm is ready to flip over your boat?
@Joy and the World - I'm not talking about not being thankful in the midst of hardships. I'm trying to tell you and others, it's easy to talk about enjoying the so called, simple things in life when you have everything you need or want. She lives in Hawaii, has a nice house, a car, she doesn't work because she has a husband who works. She lives by the beach and has everything she needs, so it's easy to talk about being happy by just enjoying the simple things. Take away Hawaii, her nice house, car and put her to work in a tiresome tedious job, in some area that has no scenery or beach, living in a not so great house, with a used car and struggling to have decent food, not fresh fruits and veggies from the garden; then ask her if she is enjoying the simple things in life. It's easy to enjoy her life, because she has everything she needs and wants. She doesn't have to work, she can sleep 10 hors a day, wake-up at 9:00 every morning and sit on the porch drinking coffee until 10:00. She isn't a minimalist, she has all the luxuries she needs. She is a princess living a fairytale life. This is the point I'm trying to make.
I love the sound of the chirping in the mornings, the sound of waves, the smell of rain, seeing plants grow, seeing the fishes swim next to me as I snorkel; my list can go on forever 😊💕
@@mbank3832 I understand how that can happen, every year during Hurricane season we have a fear of our homes being flooded and blown away, but we don't like the fear overcome us as we do know it is needed for life to go on. I hope you find joy in the rain again. 😊💕
Moments I would like to add : 41. feeling of my body being stretched after good yoga session 42. sound of cutting food on the wooden cutting board 43. walking in foggy mornings 44. having my clothes ironed 45. lazy weekend morning with Yerba Mate 😊
46. Listening the fire's sounds in the chimney. 47. Rain's smell and sound. 48. The lazy and relaxstinh sensation in your body after a day in the swimming pool or the beach.
There’s a holy GOD in Heaven, Who created you and I for His glory, but our sins have separated us from Him. the wages of sin is DEATH, but the FREE Gift of GOD is eternal life in JESUS CHRIST the LORD. CHRIST died for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. repent, stop living in sin, and believe in the Gospel.
This is my favorite RU-vid Channel. Im having a depression and everytime im watching your Videos i feel so much better. Thank you. ❤️ You are amazing ❤️
Its the small things in life that makes this life worthwhile. I saw the other day in the park mama duck with 9 tiny little ducklings and it was the most awesome moment in my entire day.
Years ago as a teenager I do cherish hundred of aim in my heart. Time passed, I'm already 20. I've been already changed my lifestyle. I'm lucky I've meet you, and it's really help me to follow my heart. I've started writing my very first book about importance of being introvert & self-love. I will publish it in next women's Day. I just wanted to be a better version of myself so I will always keep up with you. Lots of ❤️ dear sister.
“Gratitude turns what we have into enough” - Buddha Indeed. I want to achieve much more than I have, yet it’s so important to remember this during the journey and always maintain a level of inner contentment that embodies that piece of wisdom always in the present.
one of my most favorite things in life is wearing my sweatshirts as soon as they come out of the dryer. It's so nice and warm and feels like I'm wearing a hug in cold weather.
i like all of them + i like sound of shower, sound of random birds at home, sound of watering the plants, sound of writing with pencil and conversation before a nap. that's loved❤️ anyway thanks for sharing!
As someone who got diagnosed with major depression 2 years ago this is actually kinda motivating to actually enjoy my life. I've been trying to understand what's so good about life but then this video popped up and it made me realize I didn't actually want to die but escape the way I feel. Thank u all for sharing ur own unique moments. Love and respect from me. -L.
Her videos remind me of Terrence Malick films. Slow, surreal, ethereal, contemplative, with Maui as such an ideal backdrop and that Chopin style piano quietly playing in the background. Sure reminds me of my bygone days out there. Makes me wonder why I ever left.
You don't know how badly I needed this video. I was just sitting here feeling so sad and sorry for myself because something I truly wanted sold out before I could buy it. It's not something I even need and honestly cannot justify the cost, but it broke my heart that I cannot afford it. I'm only partway through your video and feel so much better because I too treasure these types of moments (and far more than the collectible I want). I needed this reminder. Thank you. 🤗⚘
Those moments are golden. Sometimes we get caught up in busy lifes and thoughts that we forget them or completely do these things unconsciously. Thanks for reminding us to live life slowly and appreciate these little things in life.❤️😘 you’re absolutely beautiful.
So soothing! I long for the night to sleep without any pressing morning item that I have to wake up to. Also, I look forward to every next day as I feel so serene and happy and contended with my life. Being thankful to the Almighty for the beautiful life I am bestowed with.
I looooved this! Thanks for the reminder that we are surrounded by beauty. I could almost smell those mangoes. I would also add: (1) the sound of crickets and small frogs at night (2) taking a shower at night and then cuddling up in warm sheets (3) a good hug from a loved one.
Love this- it really is the simple everyday moments that are to be appreciated. Hanging clean sheets in the morning while the birds chirp, watching them blowing on the line during a warm breezy day, and then sleeping on them that night is one of my favourite things. Also, as a mom I love hearing children laugh and play together outside as I am right now!
My friend recently sent me a video of her daughter playing and laughing and it just filled my heart 🥰 I think those little moments really make life special. Thanks for sharing Heather
My favorite thing is a combo of little pleasures. Sitting on my back porch in the mornings, sipping coffee, my big doggies at my feet, looking out at beautiful green grass and trees, enjoying my plants and flowers, feeling the soft breezes, thinking, praying, and being thankful to my Heavenly Father 🥰
I have 29 plants staying in the same room and yesterday I gave them water all at once. The room heated up so quick and out of the plants came a lot positive energy. It felt like they are happy and wanted to show me their love 🥲 I never saw this before
Beautiful! I read that plants love rainwater the most (make sense!) and keep trying to remember to leave my watering cans out to collect it for my indoor ones.
I randomly found your channel two weeks ago, and didn’t realize I was subconsciously decluttering my life. I’m sure people comment on your soothing voice and calming presence, but I understand as a fellow anxious nomad that you’re talking to the camera the way you talk to yourself. Firmly, lovingly, intentionally, and with forgiveness. Blessings on your journey, sister..know that you give both light and peace..protect that..
My goodness I was driven into a whole new world watching this video. This is so trueee. We should appreciate what we have, while they last. This is my favorite video uploaded by you, so far...
I like to sit in my chair by the window in my bedroom and since there is always a breeze where I live I crack the window open just a little to hear the howl of the wind coming in through the screen. I try to sit without thoughts and enjoy watching the leaves on the young trees next to my house moving around with the wind and also watching the hummingbirds, butterflies and bees on the flowers on those same trees
Tears those are things I.cherish the most especially with loved ones and drive/walking through nature. Thank you for all your beautiful hard work in your videos🙏🌴🌤☁️🌊🌈
walking in rainy evenings, sitting around the breeze, feeding little chirps on your windows, the smell of the very first rain of the year, the winter night walks and so many things to be grateful for :)
A Few of My Favorite Things:1. My 2 babies 2. BOOKS! I LOVE reading. And I look forward to all the books I HAVE to read and the books that will come out to read. YUM! 3. Perfume and ALL good scents. 4. Tea/ coffee/ hot cocoa . I really like warm drinks. 5. Shea Butter 6. Finally finding the perfect hair care routine. 7.consistency 8. Exercise 9. Shopping and spending money on my babies.
what a lovely video. I once read about a journal exercise where you write down the 10 things that make you happiest on a daily or weekly basis. This helps you realize the moments and things that matter to you and helps you let go of the things that dont (ie material objects that dont actually make you happy) Some of mine are: walking my dog, coffee in the morning, making dinner with my husband, driving or walking by the ocean, etc. This video reminds me of that exercise :)
I want to practice gratitude more each day! I definitely feel more content than ever about my own life :) I love everything on your list!! especially love that no matter where we are in the world, these precious moments can connect us
I was smiling through the whole video!! Specially after you mentioned "having the whole park by yourself" and "long car drives with your loved one". Last week on a friday I went on a bike ride with my boyfriend and 2 other close people and we drove along those green forest kind of roads and the scenery we usually see when travelling through trains! We drove about 40 kms and reached a sea side which was sooooo beautiful! And we also saw the sunset. Aaannd, there were very few people so it felt like we had the whole sitting area by ourselves! Me and my boyfriend are going through tough times and that outing was all we needed to clear our minds & feel at peace. I was soooo blushing when I saw those points hehe 🙈🙈☺☺ Anyways, you have truly cultivated the art of enjoying small things. This was a lovely video! Thank you for this and I'm still smiling hehe 🥰❤
Soooo relaxing 👌🏼😌 giving me all the good vibes 🍃 one of my favorite moments is walking up to my home and smelling the pikake i planted recently. Its absolutely heavenly
I love this relaxation and it keeps me relax & calm I love the beautiful sounds from the ocean, birds chirping in the morning and rain and makes me feel good and remember good memories 💕💕💕
hi i’m from philippines. you & your videos are just too precious. thank you so much for being my therapy, just want u to know that your channel is my “go to” everytime i feel unmotivated in life. you are a life saver just by being yourself. keep spreading positive vibes, always be here to support you. ily!!!!
Perfectly fitting pants seem to be a life long task. I was not successfull, so I wear dresses and found out that I love it way more. Other than that I agree to all of your points. You are such an inspiration and exactly what I needed in these uncertain times. Thank you. 🐝🐞🌼🐙🐈
Beautiful:) Always high quality content from you! I agree om everything🪴 Some of my favorite things are: Lighting a candle and reading a book when its raining outside. Popping popcorn (in a casserole with a glass lid) and watching my favorite movies (Like spirited away or The little forest movies Summer/Autumn or Spring/winter) Swimming and drying off in the sun afterwards. Walking in a forest. Sitting down to relax in a freshly cleaned house. Moonlight. Feeding birds in the winter. 🙏🏼
I am so glad that I found this creator! You have no idea how much you inspire me so much ! Cheers for more content. With love from Davao del Sur, Philippines❤
Dear Sophie, Thank you so much for the video. For the past two days, your videos made me relaxed, compassionate, lovable and much more... A warm hug to you, and keep going. Love you so much❤
I just found your channel lately. Then I watch your VDO clip every day. Your voice is so beautiful and make me feel relaxed. And I also learn English from your channel. It's easy to understand what you said. Thank you for making the great channel.
A hot bath. Laying down and dunking your head under the water of a hot bath. Peppermint tea. Sleeping with the windows open and hearing the sound of owls and crickets through out the night. The fresh feeling you have after washing your face with your favorite cleanser. The centeredness you experience after a deep meditation. A loving hug from someone you love. Excitement over a new recipe to make. Dew on the grass at 5am. When birds land on your window seal and appear to be watching you or saying hello. A good nights sleep. A comfortable mattress and bed sheets. Wearing long flowy sundresses in the summertime. Sundays, when you have nothing to do...... Butterflies! 🦋
This is like a reminder for me to see the beauty of the simple things in life, the things that we often miss, things that we normally didn't care of. Thank you ❤️
Wow before clicking this video, I did not expect all these little things. I expected like jogging, yoga, reading books, etc. But This reminded me so much to take a pause and see the little things around me, and be in awe, inspired to experience life as we know that we have now.
Watching this as I am taking a break between studying for two final exams 🙋♀️ Sound of the waves of the ocean is definitely a fave of mine as well, there is something about it that makes me be so present at that moment ✨ The little things in life is what makes life so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video 🌻
Yes, totally agree with everything on this video. I like the feeling of getting this peace within me appreciating these "small things in life". That is pure bliss honestly.
I really want to enjoy the little things in life and be grateful for all that I have. Be happy and speak positively. Not be negative. To love being at home all the time and relaxing, watching tv. It would mean the world to me
And your videos are in my list!!! They are so beautiful, you made me happy with this one, there are a lot of things that I like and make me happy and I haven't take the time to think about it and be grateful for them. Life can be so beautiful if we see everything with gratitude, thank you Sophie, blessings to you
Absolutely loved this relaxing vlog! Some of my favourite things are going on a hike in nature and chilling at the beach listening to the relaxing sounds of the ocean and contemplating life! 🙏🏻💞
Thank you so much for making this video, as well as all the other videos you make! As someone with an anxiety problem, your videos help calm me when I feel overwhelmed.
I was amazed about how she creates value on everything she does for a day.. :) and the best was the sense of purpose in everyday life, these act of contentment gives so much value to our lives... :) stay safe and God bless :)
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video Sophie, although life has been challenging lately, realise how truly uptight I was feeling until I watched this - You live in a beautiful place, I hope to be able to move away from where I had to come back to in the near future and back somewhere near the sea where I can feel more peaceful ❤
I so relate to this vlog! This is honestly how I find peace and calm in my life these days. I constantly say to my family and friends, life is all about the little things! And the great thing about it is, you can find joy in almost anything. The list is endless. This is the beauty of the simplicity of life. Seek joy everyday ✨️ 💖 🙏🏽
my list : •the smell of freshly cut grass •the act of making, and consuming a herbal tea •fresh laundry •walking on bare feet •full moon / any moon •spending time with loved ones
A few days ago , youtube guided me to your videos. I think it is a blessing to me. Since then i ve been watching your videos before going to bed. Every day, I fall into sleep ,thankful for everything small that i have. Thank you so much for giving these moments to me. Please understand my english is not perfect. I just want to express my gratitude. :-)

The simple things are what makes life so amazing! Loving your content Sophie! :) could you create a video on kitchen minimalism, groceries you stock up on and also your favorite recipes that you make for you and your husband each week? Im usually the one cooking at home for my husband and myself. I’m trying to find ways not to get so overwhelmed in the kitchen and keep within a budget but enjoy the time that I’m in there. I used to love cooking! We moved into a smaller space and it has been difficult to get used to. Any tips you have are greatly appreciated! :)
Thank you for watching and for the suggestion! That's a great idea 🥰 Of course I don't have a perfect system but would love to share me method in case it can help! Look out for it in future videos. Thanks Jessie ❤
