I am a mother of 6 grown children .We divorced when the oldest was 12 and the youngest 2 1/2 .I was able to homeschool all if them .When people came into our home they would say we thought you would have more toys for 6 kuds They had plenty of toys, books art supplies and 11 avres of land to build forts and climb on big rocks I wish I knew about simple living and minimalism when I was raising them .Now that my 2 daughters have children I am gently trying to introduce them to minimalism and slow living.Yhankfully there are young mothers their ages that have joined the minimalist and slow living movement and are sharing their stories.
I totally agree. My priority right now is self care. I meditate 30 minutes a day, normally upon waking up. Do my daily walking then simple yoga poses. Then attend to house chores. Not to overwhelm me for the day. I don’t do multitasking.
What a breath of fresh air you are. I spent my life pleasing others to the extent I felt guilty if I ever spent a moment considering what I wanted to do. I thought I was being selfish and it was unchristian. If I wasn’t stressed out I felt I wasn’t doing my bit. How mad is that. No more now though. A bit late in life but better late than never. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
I just came across your channel and you are absolutely singing my tune. I am working toward a simpler life and already I am noticing the relief that comes with that simplicity. I am starting to feel like I have more mental space to focus on things that are important in my life. My house is becoming the tranquil space I always wanted it to be and I just feel more grounded. Thank you for creating the perfect channel for me and for others. X
And if you notice how beautiful her skin is it’s because she is relaxed and not stressed trying to keep up with a stupid toxic job or a fast paced life. Thank you for the eye-opener. I appreciate you cheers
I'm so glad I watched this video. I'm trying to consistently make time for me-time so I don't burn myself out. I'm also trying to learn to say no to things that will put unnecessary or unfair stress on my life.
Yea multitasking does drive me nuts. I all ready working on de clutter my life. Here my life in California? There’s nothing left for me here any more. I’m gonna de clutter every thing and get rid of a lot of stuff. And planning selling my house? Then move to Virginia where my family live. I like to have something to enjoy doing things with my daughter and my grandson. It’s a great video. I enjoyed it. See you in the next one. Cheers 😎😎😎☕️☕️☕️❤️❤️❤️
I also packed up from San Diego three years ago and moved to Norman OK 👍🏻 We are so happy here and live beside our son, daughter in law and adorable two year old granddaughter! We garden, enjoy Norman immensely and it was our best move ever. When you see California in your rear view mirror you will be part of a joyful group who realizes enough is enough❤️
I love to slow down and make things-delicious meals, cards for occasions, and simple crafts. It brings me peace and sharing helps me to connect with others.
Enjoyed your calming video. I practice self-care with my daily walks, yoga, meditation, gardening and just sitting out on my patio enjoying the lush surroundings around my property in Hawaii. I have simplified my life by not adding stress, took retirement and taking things on a slower pace , abd I am enjoying every moment my my “quieter” lifestyle
Dear Connie, thank you for your honest, genuine, gentle and wise content. I have been on a journey with similar objectives to yours. Some solutions I implemented that helped me: 1. calm mornings with no rush and time for simple self care (usually reading in bed with a cup of coffee)-to achieve this I had to turn myself from a lifelong night owl to a morning lark, but oh it was sooo worth it; mornings turned from being my least favourite to my most favourite time of day. 2. Leave work worries at work. I trained myself (it wasn’t easy!) to stop thinking about work the moment I step out of my workplace. As a result I am now so high and full of energy in the evenings and have such wonderful quality time with my family. I realised that work worries were draining my energy in the evenings. 3. Designate and plan “Us time” with my daughter-I work long hours and weekends a lot but because we plan “us time” we are very close with my only daughter. It broke my heart in the past that I lacked time to build a close relationship with her, but I found a way to make time and it has paid of. 4. Find a hobby that also has a practical aspect and that is easily doable every single day-mine are cooking and reading (also I have “treat days” grocery shopping and spending time in my fave bookshop when I can as an extension of my daily hobbies). For context, 2 years ago I hadn’t read a book cover to cover for over 10 years and I would start hyperventilating if my husband asked me to make a salad! 5. Discourage people sending you pointless e-mails by having an auto reply all of the time. Mine says I only have 3 hours in my working week to check and reply to my e-mails and if you don’t’ get a reply in 2 weeks and the issue is still needing my attention to re-send the e-mail. It worked like a dream! In the past it got so bad that I developed a genuine phobia of e-mails ( I would feel physically sick when it was time to log in to check my inbox). 6. Make friends at work-I always felt I should keep it professional with people at work but since I work a lot I ended up friendless and feeling lonely because I was keeping a professional distance. The hell with that. I now feel surrounded by love not only at home but also at work. 7. Always leave the bedroom tidy in the morning so you come back to a zen heaven in the evening after a crazy work day. There is more but now I have my daughter here and want to spend time with her. Good bye!
Sibel, Thank you so much for sharing so many fantastic tips! I especially love , leaving work at work. Our minds can be so filled with thoughts that it makes it impossible to be present, I'm so happy you are part of our mindful living community. Sending you happiness and peace
"Simplify my life by being present in the now." No truer words Connie...thank you so very much for your lovely philosophy, lesson, guidance and video. Thanks for the reminder to keep my life uncomplicated and less committed. Prioritize what's really important. We have but one chance to experience life, be there for and give to others. God bless you!
Connie, I found your channel in a time of my life I needed CALM… I am a minimalist, but my family has had a stressful 2022… my married daughter needed back surgery, I needed meniscus tear knee surgery, my beautiful little cat is very sick right now, and a dozen of other little things, I think we have a black cloud over us right now, but your video will always calm my nerves, your soft , calming voice always helps me take a deep breath I want to say Thank you❤️ We have a walking trail and a lake here in my community, and I can’t wait to recovery and take a walk with my husband on the trail and sit and look at the lake…
I’m so sorry you’ve had such a stressful start to the year. I’ve just had to have emergency back surgery a few weeks ago to remove a tumour from my spine, so I can sympathise with your daughter’s situation, I can also understand your desire to be healed enough to get out in nature and take a walk. It will happen, just take each day as it comes. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your daughter and your beautiful cat. 🐈⬛🙏🏻
@@woodysmum1906 aww thank you for your comment. I wish you a speedy recovery, my daughter has realized you can’t rush recovery, we are learning to take one day at a time, and our new motto “This too shall pass” Bless you 🙏
Woodys Mum that’s our new saying as well THIS TOO SHALL PASS…. I know in my heart things will turn around, everyone has to carry some crosses every once in awhile, but I always tell my kids it builds character, and without the rain there are no rainbows 🌈
Thank you for this. I needed to hear it. I’m currently in the midst of moving cities to be closer to my aging parents and family and for a new job. All while turning down a significant pay hike at my current job where the main boss worked 24-7 and expected the same of his staff. My current job didn’t “align with my values” and there is value in my time.
Lovely video! I was able to retire early, due to my visual disability. Best thing I ever did! Now, I have a soothing early morning routine, cook more healthy meals from scratch and spend time with loved ones, especially grandchildren. Still working on letting go of things that were given to me, but are sitting in drawers and closets.
Hola Connie! Nice video I like you vibe. One of the things that made my life easier was to ditch the dye. I did that 4 years ago since then I feel more comfortable with who I’m. I also changed my shopping habits. I try to live more sustainable now ❣️
Always love your videos, Connie. They are reminders of how I want to live my life. Habits that I have established that help me lead a more simple and mindful life include daily morning prayer/meditation/spiritual reading. A 30 minute walk on my lunch hour and right after work. Scheduling time with friends for a phone call, walk or lunch/dinner together. Same with my husband and sons. Being part of a 12-step fellowship and enjoying time at church activities and cultural events. Keep up the good work!
These are great points. I have finally learned to say no as well. And I used to runaway from home life to escape my chaos. Now that I have simplified tremendously I don’t want to leave home.
I struggled to find what gives me joy. Then realised it's the small stuff, a newly made bed, fresh flowers or greenery each day. Starting with these small things lead me to search deeper.
@ Priscilla, me too doing it at 56! Its so refreshing to be in this "mode" of simple and living your life....learning to say No.Thankyou Nicole for sharing.
Thank you for this video Connie, I find watching the video and listening to you so calming and relaxing 😌 I can relate to so much of what you said and my priorities are the same, I just need to be more mindful and intentional about reaching them ❤
This is so helpful - thank you. I need to simplify my life and this provided welcome inspiration. I’m going to start with decluttering the house, bearing in mind that my time and energy are limited.
Thank you Connie,for this video on simplifying my life and thoughts . Your methods are clear and very helpful I must start to practice, before I lose absence of balance .I've wasted so much of my life .
Love your video’s! It’s so calming! Love your house too. Maybe you could give a home tour for mind-full minimalists?? That could be a great inspiration! Would you consider this? Ooh, and I love your ( baggy) jeans! You can wear anything , you like, you look always very beautiful! Have a nice , blessed week!
We moved from a 5 bedroom house with 2 car garage and 2 storage rooms to a small 2 bdrm condo with very little storage. We both have a great deal of stuff to use in our creative work. It’s been a year and we are still not settled and organized. Plus we both have chronic health issues that limit our energy. Seems that just keeping up with the daily messes from cooking etc are all we can manage. However, I have been purging clothing and “products”. It’s very slow but am making a bit of progress.
I love the idea but I feel it’s much harder to do when you’re living in a suburb of a big city where you have to drive miles to get out into nature. It looks like you have so much beauty around you in the form of nature .
I’ve been watching your videos for a while which impacted on my life. You’re so beautiful, clear smiling eyes, you look really happy. This look is just what I need. I don’t know about your age but you seem ageless🥰 Also, you have changed a lot since your first videos!! You are much calmer and balanced now. Good luck for your further work towards us! Judit from Hungary❤️
Just found your videos, thank you 🙏 I have been working on slowly down this year since I turned 60 in December of 2021 One way so far I have decided to do is work only Monday-Friday and do my errands during the week also .That way I can stay home on the weekends.
Thank you for sharing these often simple principles that over time we tend to overlook ~ especially in this time of so much societal expectation. A key change for me was to recognise stress escalating and to take time out, however simp,y, and to reset. This requires being in the moment about how one is delivering and often just involves a few deep breaths before moving on slower.
Your so pretty and have a beautiful family. I love seeing all the little clips of all the things you enjoy doing. It’s a reminder for us all to do the same.
I am fairly new to your channel but all I can say is “thank you!” Your soothing voice and your uplifting messages have been such a blessing to me! I am downsizing and living life in the moment. May I ask where you purchase your t-shirts and loose pants?
I think one has to introspect in their daily activities and prioritize the tasks which are most important to them not on the basis of materials like money, desires, ecstacy, pleasure of luxuries etc. One needs to understand that life is for living happily within oneself than searching happiness elsewhere in materials that we pile up unnessoserily, As they say less is more and more is less sadly most of the people can't feel full satisfaction and spend their entire life in competing with others for more instead focusing on less which is really valuable. So naturally they turn out to be be an easy target for depression which is the modern time mental pandamic the cure to defeat that mental monster is to focuse on what we have rather than what others have. Self containment is the path towards happy and joyful life.
Around a month ago I started listening to a 10 minute guided meditation every morning after waking as soon as my alarm went off (instead of hitting the snooze button)
Thanks for this. I am looking for living better, yes after after running around with little little success and recognition. My results ard much better now, I have improved my health, in general the quality of my life.
Be Mindful and de-cluttering work and objects of desire around me, definitely helping me. Thanks for a such video with focused thoughts. Shirish Balekundri, Wafer FAB Process Specialist. Singapore
Thank you for such a wonderful video mindfulness is need of the hour. I am trying to follow mindfulness but at times it is difficult in today's fast paced corporate environment. Trying for it .Thanks
Undeniably, JOY and HAPPINESS are immaterial and hence, definitely NOT things in life that money can buy. But then, we can always seek upward in the Spiritual realm, for PEACE and FULFILLMENT and CONTENTMENT from the Great Creator GOD above, WHO is our ultimate infinite Provider 💟 Amen😇
Hello there connie I’m a new subscriber. I’m learning a real lot from you already. I’m a holistic practitioner and I love to help people your helping me to become more mindful and feel at peace so for that I’m extremely grateful. I suffer with anxiety and depression. Thanks to you I was looking in to maybe trying yoga or tai chi I wondered if you had a preference what you thought was best? You have encouraged me to try incorporating either yoga or tai chi in to my daily routine. Not sure where to start? Would be amazing if you had a video all about it and how it’s done. I have tried yoga once but it wasn’t what I expected it was fast and vigorous I was expecting mindful slow and meaningful. Any help would be greatly appreciated I’d love to improve my well-being and live happy. Namaste, blessings and much love Carly xxxx
I'm new to your channel and your soothing voice is so calming. I need to watch more of your videos b/c I feel much of what you described, but at 67 years old. I feel overwhelmed with all the work, organizing, and stuff that needs cleaning and more. Love your video!!
Thank you for your videos, for me,i have to calm down!!because everthing is to mutch!!i hope i can learn to be more relax and not so busy all te time!!Thank you and Lovely greetings from the netherlands 🤗
Hi, cute family in the beautiful video. I should've realized it when I was thirty, now I am 52. Hey, I do have salt and pepper hair style and yours looks pretty.
Just found you….! Thank you for this calming video. I’m working on simplifying my home and establishing a relaxing morning routine, which is when I feel most anxious. I’ve subscribed so looking forward to your content!🙏 Namaste
New here watching you from USA 🇺🇸 You have such a great filming and editing skills ..... I really like your contents and also your videos are so calm and relaxing 😊
Please take 1 day at a time. Also please do one task at a time. No need to rush and do too many things. Also enjoy your life experiences with your friends and family. Don’t ever think you are responsible for solving all the problems in the world. Simply relax and learn to live life without tension or stress. Have a great time.
These 5 mindful living habits have helped me simplify my life and be happier.
I am slowing down after a hectic life raising my children alone when I was forced into a divorce. 11 months to go before retirement!
Having responsibilities other than yourself will wear you down even though you love your family.
God bless you❤

Around a month ago I started listening to a 10 minute guided meditation every morning after waking as soon as my alarm went off (instead of hitting the snooze button)
Fantastic way to practice meditation daily.
Happiness & peace
Me too! It makes a big difference and starts my day off with the right intentions. 🌺🌿
Pls share d guided meditation video....tq

Thank you for this helpful video. I totally need to declutter, and am in the process of becoming much more frugal.
Great tips
Love your videos. I really like your coffee table with different flowers all the time and the table itself, beautiful and simple. Thanks
Thanks so much!
Thank you for such a wonderful video mindfulness is need of the hour. I am trying to follow mindfulness but at times it is difficult in today's fast paced corporate environment. Trying for it .Thanks
Undeniably, JOY and HAPPINESS are immaterial and hence, definitely NOT things in life that money can buy. But then, we can always seek upward in the Spiritual realm, for PEACE and FULFILLMENT and CONTENTMENT from the Great Creator GOD above, WHO is our ultimate infinite Provider 💟 Amen😇
Hello there connie I’m a new subscriber. I’m learning a real lot from you already. I’m a holistic practitioner and I love to help people your helping me to become more mindful and feel at peace so for that I’m extremely grateful. I suffer with anxiety and depression. Thanks to you I was looking in to maybe trying yoga or tai chi I wondered if you had a preference what you thought was best? You have encouraged me to try incorporating either yoga or tai chi in to my daily routine. Not sure where to start? Would be amazing if you had a video all about it and how it’s done. I have tried yoga once but it wasn’t what I expected it was fast and vigorous I was expecting mindful slow and meaningful. Any help would be greatly appreciated I’d love to improve my well-being and live happy. Namaste, blessings and much love Carly xxxx
Wieder ein wunderbares Video! Leider ohne Untertitel und so kann ich leider nicht immer alles verstehen.
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland!
Really inspired by your video.practice self care is really important. We ignore it in very simple manner. I'll make a practice in daily routine.
I'm new to your channel and your soothing voice is so calming. I need to watch more of your videos b/c I feel much of what you described, but at 67 years old. I feel overwhelmed with all the work, organizing, and stuff that needs cleaning and more. Love your video!!
Totally me
Thank you for your videos, for me,i have to calm down!!because everthing is to mutch!!i hope i can learn to be more relax and not so busy all te time!!Thank you and Lovely greetings from the netherlands 🤗
I'm glad you are with us, Nathalie. I find the best way to slow down is to make self-care a priority. Even a 5 min walk helps me recenter.

Greetings from Indiaa....
Please take 1 day at a time. Also please do one task at a time. No need to rush and do too many things. Also enjoy your life experiences with your friends and family. Don’t ever think you are responsible for solving all the problems in the world. Simply relax and learn to live life without tension or stress. Have a great time.
Thank you , you calmed my soul.
