I’ve been trying the ⏰ *5 SECOND RULE* and it is definitely a game changer for me as a former “procrastinator.” It’s crazy how quickly our same brain that created an idea, can just as quickly destroy it and get in the way of us ACTING on that idea. 🤯 A mantra that helps me snap out of that is, “ *Get out of your head, & into your body.* “ Thanks for always sharing such great tips, Sophie! 💚🙏🏾
Good morning. You mentioned that for a while you were not sure if you should start your RUclips channel. You were concerned with failure. You were afraid of failure. Know that people like me are so very happy you did. Your thoughts and insights definitely help people like me plot those points in our future. Love ourselves. Remember who we once were and traded off because of the journey life was taking us through. Thank you for helping us be vulnerable, accept where we have been, and look towards the future with endless possibility. Where we are in the driver seat.
I took down my tv. Turn off my WiFi at night and read to go to sleep. Now a week into completely off facebook , turned off notifications. Working on decorate ring and exercise. Gave up anything made from grain or sugar which resulted in 20 lbs gone. So much I'm trying to accomplish before my 60th birthday this year.
Some of it stuck! That experiment was two years ago. I've gone carnivore, lost more weight. But still watch RUclips instead of tv. But I can't seem to completely quit alcohol.
I am also an INFJ ! 😄 It's so rare to find another person with this type aha ! I loved this video, your content is always so inspirational and relaxing, thank you! 🌞🌻
*I love doing things that leave us with beautiful memories instead of buying things, planning to go wakeboarding for my husband birthday in February. The 5 second rule is one of the things that helps me to set my day; love this video Sophie.💕 I want to learn more plant base dishes in the future,the only time Arvin and I eat fish is when we catch it ourselves.*
Yes, I am an INFJ, as well. Your choice of words in these presentations attracted me as I could sense your caring, teaching, perfectionism, and genuine concern for others. I have learned, as you have, that our challenging childhood was the learning ground we needed to become what we are today. My heart wishes you health, happiness and more great expectations. Along your way, be careful. Narcissists love us.
I love watching your videos in the morning, because they always put me in a productive, calm and happy mood for the day. For me watching your content is like doing yoga or meditation. It calms me down and reminds me of what I really want in life. Thank you so much for that reminder!
Happy New Year!🎉 Love the calm, peacefulness of your video to start the year! I am an INFJ too. An intention I set for the year was also to be present, in addition to keeping my heart open to the way my life unfolds according to God's will. Thank you so much for sharing.🤗
In the past I've said that I'm gonna get in better shape for the summer or study and aim for a big career or move or buy a dream car.. and so on. But now I just couldn't care less about those stuff. This year all I'm gonna do is to live a minimalistic, zero waste and slow living life. Focus on me and my mental health. Life. Not money and material stuff. Thanks Sophie for inspiring me and many others around the world!
I am also an INFJ! So nice to see how others with the same personality type live. I will be trying the 5 second rule! Thank you! Also could you share the orzo pasta recipe please :-)
Since I started watching you last year. It became really clear to me and my husband what we really want in life. You are very inspiring Sophie with all the lessons and learning you have been sharing with us. At this moment our debts are all paid in full just waiting for spring to come and we will be moving to our own offgrid home self-sufficient cabin I can't wait. Thank you
I'm soo happy for taking time reading my comments. I'm happy to see the white dog this time on your video. And looking forward for more videos on your personal channel. 😀 God bless Sophie. 🙌
Thank you so much for touching on a plant based diet 💖 Even just starting with one plant based meal a day, and working your way to 2 is just great- so good for the planet 🌎
I am going to slow down my thoughts and be thoughtful when I speak. I am going to appreciate ordinary things in life and grateful for what happens. I am going to love deeper because there is no second moment. LOVE WHAT I DO AND DO WHAT I LOVE.
I absolutely love this. I think we don’t realize the power that we have. Not to mention me and what I do, but it’s such a great example. A few month ago a client reached out to me so discouraged and so lacking any confidence, she trusted me and got rid of her old habits and started new ones that I suggested, ( plant based, a very strict cleaning process)and in less than a month the changes were miraculous or at least incredible ( I actually put up a Before&After about a week ago). She said she never thought she could feel this good about herself and it really motivated her to change other things. My point is NEVER give up and get out of your own way. Have faith in someone you admire or in a master in what you need. Keep your environment peaceful and know that today really is the beginning of the rest of your life. Happy New Year M and everyone here. I hope it is the beginning of the very best years of your life!🙌🏻🍑🧡Lisa
Good vid Malama! I always think; 1 is better than 0. I might suck when I start (even fail), but that is better than nothing. At least, I will do something. Good luck to everyone on 2022!
Hello Sophie. I am too an INFJ . Recently just 4 or 5 days ago I found your blog , and from that day watching one video each day from your channel is becoming my mental therapy. After watching first video I felt a connection and calming vibe . Your blogs have become my source of inspiration and I am learning so many good and valuable lessons. I feel so blessed to know you. Thank you 😊. I am trying to incorporate the things in life by watching your videos. And just like you I am too starting a new life next month. I will be a PhD scholar from next month. I wish you happiness and prosperity all the way in your life.😊
Sophie I just wanna thank you for your last video of decluttering. I said I was gonna declutter for the new year and I did it! I now have multiple bags in the garage waiting to be donated. Thank you for your inspiration. For the new year of 2022, the change I’m gonna make is to be more minimal! Own less stuff. Also, workout more. I wanna be healthy physically and mentally
Another INFJ here. Great content, your posts hit me like a guided meditation. Your voice and cadence are soothing and they relax me. Thank you for the knowledge.
Hi Malama, I enjoyed your videos very much. I am INFJ too~ I have difficulty in journaling too. So starting this year, I am combining journaling with my tarot routine at night time, when I reflected my days with the tarot cards that i have pulled in the morning. Small changes are important. I have my morning, evening fitness and night time routine. They are simple but need discipline to turn them into habits. Step out for my dream is hard for me. It will be my main focus this year. I will do my best to achieve my dream step by step even though I might be slow.
I love your channel very much. I also like the book Atomic Habits and have adopted the strategies from the book. I practice mindfulness from movement and apply it into my life. There are many parallels I see in your videos that resonate with me. Plus seeing sunny and warmer scene is quite refreshing for me who lives near Seattle. Thanks for your videos!
This year, one of my goals is to be more mindful about how I interact with RUclips. It is the only social media I participate in, and there are some channels like this one that I love and truly enjoy, and others that I used to enjoy and still follow because of that. Sometimes I find myself just clicking on videos because I want something to watch, not necessarily because the video interests me that much, and I want to be more aware of that. RUclips can be a wonderful platform, but sometimes I, like everyone else, can fall into a "watching for the sake of watching" mindset, and I feel like it isn't the best use of my precious time. I also have a bad habit of watching RUclips videos when I wake up on weekends and breaks, which I don't like. It can be hard to break habits, but as you said, you are in control of your own change, so I see so many opportunities for positive change this year! Creators like you are the ones that inspire me to try to make my life as positive and enjoyable as possible, so I can't say enough how much I appreciate your content. Thank you so much for what you do and I wish you a happy 2022!
This is so relatable Anna! I also turn on RUclips videos while I'm getting ready because it's comforting to hear someone's voice in the background. But you're right! I don't want to fall into this habit of just having "background noise." Something I really want to mindful of as well. Wishing you happy 2022.
I would definitely like to try the 5 second rule I would like to read more every day I would like to remember every day the things I 'm grateful for Thank you so much 🥰💖 Sophie for the endless inspiration Happy New Year 🎉🎉 to everyone Always be healthy ☺️☺️
Your videography skills just keeps getting better & better! Thank you for sharing Sophie ❤️ This year I intend to give more value to my time and make sure to spend it like a finite resource 🤗
Good morning, I hope you are having an amazing day. This year I am renovating/decorating 2 bedrooms, 3 storage cupboards, and changing the bathroom from a wet room to a standard bathroom with bath instead of a shower. But I need to take better care of my mental health so I will be walking through a local park every morning when I first get up (excluding Sunday which is my relaxing, reset day) and doing at least 15 mins of meditation every day. Also, having a mug of hot chocolate to calm me before I go to bed (I have insomnia at the moment).
Your video's are very comforting and the background music are very relaxing . I just love all of your video . Hope to hear more from you . Bless you always
I was waiting for your first video of 2022! Happy new year ✨ your videos were such a source of comfort and healing for me last year as I was struggling with a personal loss. I hope many more people watch your videos this year and feel the same. ❤️
I love this so much I’ve been so stressed out and your videos I just found today reminded me I need to take care of myself and to remember the little things about myself I love n love to do🫶🏼 and more stuff LOLOl Sending so much love to you Ty for your video I definitely am following
this year, I'm conducting an experiment I just wanna know what will happen and how my life will change if I commit to my good habits, I might fall off track but I wanna keep coming back to them and showing up for myself the habits I'm committing to are waking up early, working out, learning dance, yoga, meditation and studying!!
Im currently going through a breakup right now. And I just found your videos yesterday. They are so calming, your videos are helping get through it. Thank you 😊
Happy New Year! I've already practiced some of the habits but is good to have this video as a reminder and yes is so important for me to be GRATEFUL. ❤
I feel so much peace and serenity watching your videos. Sometimes when I need to slow down, it really helps me get aligned on my life. Thank you. You are an inspiration.
Hi Sophie! I wish you a happy new year! Thanks for starting the new year with such great tips. I think tip number 7 is the most important one: choose what makes you happy. I often made wrong decisions because I couldn't say no to other people. It's hard and I'm still struggling with saying no, but it's getting better.
Hello from a recent subscriber and fellow INFJ. 😁 Curating my social feed has had a huge impact on my life too, and it's something I want to continue doing. Not only does it make me feel better but I spend less time scrolling online. Fewer accounts = fewer ads = less time/money wasted.
Happy New Year Sophie, wonderful video as usual. Your content is spiritually driven with simplicity. I look forward to your videos each week. Blessings ❤
Putting my phone in my pocket. Listening to you. Is a therapy. I wish to be more present while I work for my goals and not to keep think about if it's going to happen or not. Not lingering on to the what ifs and being vulnerable. To truly work with whatever time I have. If i don't have sufficient time required for the goal. I want myself to do the best I can ! Which in the end will lead me to be more vulnerable of a human! In case I fail. Looking forward to hear from you soon ♥️
This was so beautiful and inspiring to grow as a person & have a better year ❤ and i knew you're an infj Sophie ! 😀 Because i'm also one ! I've always seen the similarities in how we think , value things and the way we prefer to live in general ! I aspire to become more grounded like you 💕
The 5-second rule is a handy dandy one! Great video clip, well done & professionally presented in a calm, relaxing way. Nice balcony! Thanks for sharing your life tips to the world. Wish u inner peace :)
Thanks for the calm and peace 💛 I’ve found this thought motivating: if I want to learn a skill or pursue a goal, for sure I’d probably not be good at it in the beginning, but what about in 1 year, 3 years, 5 years or even 10 years time? Better to make all the mistakes NOW when there is little at stake 💛
this is much needed. you've reached my deepest feelings and thoughts in a very genuine way, perhaps life changing. I quit drinking 3 months ago and have been focusing on trying to heal myself rather than hide behind things like alcohol to make me relax and be happy. over worked and over stressed. Sidebar: one of my hummingbirds is performing his morning ritual of stopping a foot from my face and looking at me for 5 seconds, there wings are so loud when the world is silent. this is precisely what I need more of! thanks for the video, I just found you and am interested in more..
Hi Sophie and thank you for this great video! All the small things you mentioned really resonate with me, very much inspiring! Your videos are always so real and heartfelt, truly appreciate all the effort you make! Blessings and all the good and positive vibes your way! Alessandra
This year one of my goals/intentions is that I want to value the little things (especially not materialistic things) in life while also finding joy in them! I think life will be much more meaningful and enjoyable then and the realization came from watching your channel, so thank you!! 😊
Hey, thanks for another great vid! I've been doing that "5 second rule" thing, but haven't had a title for it til THIS vid. Haha! I like it, perhaps having a title for it will help me remember to keep to it. (maybe). Oooh, I went whale watching last fall, 50 miles of coast of Maine! Was WONDERFUL!! Constant breaches, pec slapping, tails out of water... also saw puffins, sharks, and seals.. SO cool! Experiences over stuff, indeed! Have a nice day! #Anole =)
Love the idea of spending money on experiences with family and friends rather than on material possessions. I try to relay this idea to others. Unfortunately the way the world is right now it makes it extremely difficult. In Canada we are going through some more restrictions. No more than five people per household so it makes it almost impossible to connect with others even in our homes. One of the things we love to do as so many others is to go on vacations. I would much prefer to spend my money on going away with my family than anything I could buy. Being in Canada during the winter it really decreases outdoor activities so unless you ski or enjoy outdoor sports there isn’t a whole lot to do. Our restaurants are not allowing indoor dining and as I’ve said with the cold weather no one is going to want to dine outdoors. I’m doing my best to minimalize my belongings and will focus on that as much as I can during the winter months. I pray that things will get better worldwide so that we can resume a somewhat “normal” life and start to enjoy adventures with friends and family. Thank you for this wonderful video and I wish you and your family a happy, healthy and safe new year.😊❤️🙏
Praying that things will get better soon. I can only imagine when it's back to normal and we're able to travel freely and spend more time with people who are close to us. Stay safe and stay warm Debbie ❤️ big hugs from Maui
Thank you for this. I was so relaxed just listening to your voice. :) Be intentional! I love that. In a world where everything is Go Go Go and it stopped because of the pandemic..it is such a privilege to actually be mindful about all the blessings we have. I am grateful that I subscribed to your channel. I am in my 60s all the way from Manila 🇵🇭 Philippines.
10 small changes That will improve your life! 1:20 Stack your Habit 2:01 Prioritize experiences over material thing 2:49 The 5seconds rule 3:40 Become more plant-based 4:30 Invest in good sleep 5:15 Get to know yourself 6:08 Choose the decision that makes you happy 6:55 Use social media for inspiration 7:30 Just go for it 8:28 Set intentions not just goals
i've been in such a slump since the pandemic began and been afraid of committing to anything ... thank you for this~ it gave me the push I needed to start a hobby i've wanted to pursue for awhile now :)
Through the video I listened to all the things you bought up. But I also thought of how beautiful and peace ful this video is, how well made it is!! It's like a clip from a movie!
I just come across your channel. And I must say that I’m absolutely in awe with how you present yourself. I love that your voice is so soft and inspiring. It’s refreshing to watch, almost like listening to an motivational meditation ☺️
this video make me feel comfort and peaceful ❤ the changes that I am going to make 1) eating healthy more 2) workout for having a healthy body 3) learning new things on any filed that I want to know before 4) improving my English skills 6) know more about self awareness that I started it already 7) growing my mental health and choose peaceful 8) start to work for the first time
4:45 silk pillow. love it so so much. need to find me some of these. and i love my blackout curtains. i need my good sleep or i’m a train wreck haha. thanks for your beautiful videos. they are so aesthetically pleasing. ✌🏼❤️✌🏼
I found this helpful today. Thank you for putting it out there. The little green lizard at the end also brought me joy. :) I recently found your channel and have been enjoying it.
The habit stacking might just change my whole world. I am someone who has a really hard time with daily consistency or habits every day and that is the best advice. Thank you.
Becoming self-aware turned my life around. I've become very selective of my exposure to social connections, and it's made my life more peaceful. I love your video. It's super aesthetic and calming
Yup! Watched a couple of your videos and from the content, approach, quality and soulful, down-to-earth manner in which you express yourself and your values, it became obvious to me that you’re an INFJ too!!! In connecting the dots and overarching patterns that make us who we are (as we express ourselves as INFJs), it becomes clearly evident that we’re ancient, sage souls, and more so as we mature, to where we’re able to take the deep profoundness and insights within our rich inner landscapes and distill them down in such a way that they find transformational expression that is poignant yet simple, and serves to light the way for others. Thank you for sharing. It’s always a refreshing joy to encounter another rare, soulful and mature INFJ, and reaffirming in quite a few ways, and we all need that from time to time. Thank you. It’s been a pleasure.
The key quotes are: "If you work hard enough and assert yourself, and use your mind and imagination, you can shape the world to your desires" and "Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul". Growth is present, trusting my intuitions, not limiting thoughts, and sincere. As a youth, it is hard to see the change in the beginning, but I try to be patience of the upcoming result:)

love it!!
Exactly
I’ve been trying the ⏰ *5 SECOND RULE* and it is definitely a game changer for me as a former “procrastinator.” It’s crazy how quickly our same brain that created an idea, can just as quickly destroy it and get in the way of us ACTING on that idea. 🤯 A mantra that helps me snap out of that is, “ *Get out of your head, & into your body.* “ Thanks for always sharing such great tips, Sophie! 💚🙏🏾
Yes!! I'm so happy you can relate. Very helpful for procrastinators :) now anytime I have a thought, I just take action.

Good morning. You mentioned that for a while you were not sure if you should start your RUclips channel. You were concerned with failure. You were afraid of failure. Know that people like me are so very happy you did. Your thoughts and insights definitely help people like me plot those points in our future. Love ourselves.

Thank you for helping us be vulnerable, accept where we have been, and look towards the future with endless possibility. Where we are in the driver seat.

Sophie, apparently, your videos attract a lot of us, which is amazing considering that we're a rare personality type.
I took down my tv. Turn off my WiFi at night and read to go to sleep. Now a week into completely off facebook , turned off notifications. Working on decorate ring and exercise. Gave up anything made from grain or sugar which resulted in 20 lbs gone. So much I'm trying to accomplish before my 60th birthday this year.
❤️
In case nobody’s told u, ur an inspo
Some of it stuck! That experiment was two years ago. I've gone carnivore, lost more weight. But still watch RUclips instead of tv. But I can't seem to completely quit alcohol.
I am going to take myself for coffee. I will buy flowers. I am taking care of myself knowing who I am. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
Yes sister take care of yourself
I am also an INFJ ! 😄 It's so rare to find another person with this type aha ! I loved this video, your content is always so inspirational and relaxing, thank you! 🌞🌻
I'm not surprised to find many INFJ in my community :)
me too!!! agree. so hard to find us
I am 71 years respected madam your videos helps me a lot to improve my life. Thanks.

I would love to catch my own fish! I don't think it gets any better than that. Have the best time wake boarding 😍 that sounds like so much fun
@@MalamaLife one of the best feeling 😊
Usually people summarize the tips in the comment section but in your case, nobody could explain and point the things better out than you💜🧚🏼♀️🍀

I love how you use your soft voice, it makes your videos so calming for the evenings.
Thank you so much
Since I started watching you last year. It became really clear to me and my husband what we really want in life. You are very inspiring Sophie with all the lessons and learning you have been sharing with us. At this moment our debts are all paid in full just waiting for spring to come and we will be moving to our own offgrid home self-sufficient cabin I can't wait. Thank you
I am so happy for you guys! You are trading a life of debt and clutter for personal/financial freedom :) that sounds amazing to me.
I'm soo happy for taking time reading my comments. I'm happy to see the white dog this time on your video. And looking forward for more videos on your personal channel. 😀 God bless Sophie. 🙌
Dude I am an INFJ... Now I got it why I binge watch your videos to sooth my soul and have a better clarity❤Thank you
Thank you so much for touching on a plant based diet 💖 Even just starting with one plant based meal a day, and working your way to 2 is just great- so good for the planet 🌎
So tasty too! A plant-based diet is both delicious and healthy.

True! there are so many great recipes out there

I'm so happy yo hear that. I bet it felt amazing 😍 I hope you join my low buy challenge
I agree I also did declutter my house after watching Sophie videos she is so calm and love watching Sophie

@@MalamaLife by the way, I used to live on Oahu, but havent visited Maui yet. Maui looks very nice. We will visit Maui one of these days!
Yes! You'll have to visit one day :)

Good morning, I hope you are having an amazing day. This year I am renovating/decorating 2 bedrooms, 3 storage cupboards, and changing the bathroom from a wet room to a standard bathroom with bath instead of a shower. But I need to take better care of my mental health so I will be walking through a local park every morning when I first get up (excluding Sunday which is my relaxing, reset day) and doing at least 15 mins of meditation every day. Also, having a mug of hot chocolate to calm me before I go to bed (I have insomnia at the moment).
Wishing you all the best 😍
@@MalamaLife So sweet of you to reply, thank you so much. I hope that you have lots of joyful and peaceful moments this year x
These small changes are so helpful, I am trying to include as many as I can in my daily routine! Thank you for another beautiful and calming video 🌿

I was waiting for your first video of 2022! Happy new year ✨ your videos were such a source of comfort and healing for me last year as I was struggling with a personal loss. I hope many more people watch your videos this year and feel the same. ❤️
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I'm sending you much love and healing for this upcoming year
@@MalamaLife thank you so much!
I love this so much I’ve been so stressed out and your videos I just found today reminded me I need to take care of myself and to remember the little things about myself I love n love to do🫶🏼 and more stuff LOLOl
Sending so much love to you Ty for your video I definitely am following
this year, I'm conducting an experiment
I just wanna know what will happen and how my life will change if I commit to my good habits, I might fall off track but I wanna keep coming back to them and showing up for myself
the habits I'm committing to are waking up early, working out, learning dance, yoga, meditation and studying!!
Good for you :) As they say, shoot for the moon and you'll land among the stars
Thanks Malama 🌎 very nice video. Greetings from Colombia. The Venezuelan immigrant writer 🇻🇪
I’m INFJ too. No wonder I love your channel so much 😊💖✨💫
haha yay! glad you can relate
Im currently going through a breakup right now. And I just found your videos yesterday. They are so calming, your videos are helping get through it. Thank you 😊
Happy New Year! I've already practiced some of the habits but is good to have this video as a reminder and yes is so important for me to be GRATEFUL. ❤
I'm happy it was a good reminder :)
You have such a beautiful energy. I watch your videos to calm down. And by the way, I am an INFJ, too. Greetings from Spain
I’ve never click faster. I’ve been looking forward to your video.
Thanks Annie 🥰 I hope you enjoyed it
I feel so much peace and serenity watching your videos. Sometimes when I need to slow down, it really helps me get aligned on my life. Thank you. You are an inspiration.
Thank you so much! So happy to hear that
Love this one! I totally agree and am a lot of what you're doing! I feel very positive going into this year. Excited for what's to come :) Thank you!
new year, new energy :) thanks Susie
I am a major James Clear fan and this video was so soothing as I enjoy this new beginning of spring, thank you!
💕 thanks for watching
Hi Sophie! I wish you a happy new year! Thanks for starting the new year with such great tips. I think tip number 7 is the most important one: choose what makes you happy. I often made wrong decisions because I couldn't say no to other people. It's hard and I'm still struggling with saying no, but it's getting better.
Happy new year! #7 was huge for me too. I think if we set the right intentions, saying no will be much easier.
@@MalamaLife i love these calm video.. can u do video to show us the tutorial of filming?♥️♥️
Hello from a recent subscriber and fellow INFJ. 😁 Curating my social feed has had a huge impact on my life too, and it's something I want to continue doing. Not only does it make me feel better but I spend less time scrolling online. Fewer accounts = fewer ads = less time/money wasted.
Happy New Year Sophie, wonderful video as usual. Your content is spiritually driven with simplicity. I look forward to your videos each week. Blessings ❤
Thank you so much Shelly 😍❤
Putting my phone in my pocket. Listening to you. Is a therapy. I wish to be more present while I work for my goals and not to keep think about if it's going to happen or not. Not lingering on to the what ifs and being vulnerable. To truly work with whatever time I have. If i don't have sufficient time required for the goal. I want myself to do the best I can ! Which in the end will lead me to be more vulnerable of a human! In case I fail. Looking forward to hear from you soon ♥️
This was so beautiful and inspiring to grow as a person & have a better year ❤ and i knew you're an infj Sophie ! 😀 Because i'm also one ! I've always seen the similarities in how we think , value things and the way we prefer to live in general ! I aspire to become more grounded like you 💕
So glad you can relate to me :) Thank you Nina
The 5-second rule is a handy dandy one! Great video clip, well done & professionally presented in a calm, relaxing way. Nice balcony! Thanks for sharing your life tips to the world. Wish u inner peace :)
Thank you ❤️
@@MalamaLife As a beginner, I will start with 100-second rule instead ..
Really awesome for starting a new year of us! Happy New Year, Sophia. Thanks for advice
Happy new year to you!❤ wishing you all the best
I am also an INFJ :)) so glad to find a kindred spirit. Thank you for this video and all of your others, so inspiring
❤😊 fellow infj!
Thanks for the calm and peace 💛
I’ve found this thought motivating:
if I want to learn a skill or pursue a goal, for sure I’d probably not be good at it in the beginning, but what about in 1 year, 3 years, 5 years or even 10 years time? Better to make all the mistakes NOW when there is little at stake 💛
Thanks for sharing this 😍
I am an INFJ, too. :) Thank you for sharing your wisdom, Sophie ❤
Hii sophie you're video make my day thank you!
Aw thank you ❤
this is much needed. you've reached my deepest feelings and thoughts in a very genuine way, perhaps life changing. I quit drinking 3 months ago and have been focusing on trying to heal myself rather than hide behind things like alcohol to make me relax and be happy. over worked and over stressed. Sidebar: one of my hummingbirds is performing his morning ritual of stopping a foot from my face and looking at me for 5 seconds, there wings are so loud when the world is silent. this is precisely what I need more of! thanks for the video, I just found you and am interested in more..
Our family transitioned to 100% plant based over time and it's literally one of the best things we've ever done!
Does this mean no milk products? I’ll need to check this out.
INFJ here… love revisiting this video over time ❤
Hi Sophie and thank you for this great video! All the small things you mentioned really resonate with me, very much inspiring! Your videos are always so real and heartfelt, truly appreciate all the effort you make! Blessings and all the good and positive vibes your way! Alessandra
I love your soothing voice and the simplicity of your findings.
This year one of my goals/intentions is that I want to value the little things (especially not materialistic things) in life while also finding joy in them! I think life will be much more meaningful and enjoyable then and the realization came from watching your channel, so thank you!! 😊
Your comment about word on the street about silk pillow case made me smile. 🙂
😁❤
Hey, thanks for another great vid! I've been doing that "5 second rule" thing, but haven't had a title for it til THIS vid. Haha! I like it, perhaps having a title for it will help me remember to keep to it. (maybe). Oooh, I went whale watching last fall, 50 miles of coast of Maine! Was WONDERFUL!! Constant breaches, pec slapping, tails out of water... also saw puffins, sharks, and seals.. SO cool! Experiences over stuff, indeed! Have a nice day! #Anole =)
The 5 second rule is great! It works well for me everytime. I would love to whale watch in different places 😍 that would be magical
Your voice is so soothing I started to feel so calm I got sleepy. lol THANK YOU
Love the idea of spending money on experiences with family and friends rather than on material possessions. I try to relay this idea to others. Unfortunately the way the world is right now it makes it extremely difficult. In Canada we are going through some more restrictions. No more than five people per household so it makes it almost impossible to connect with others even in our homes. One of the things we love to do as so many others is to go on vacations. I would much prefer to spend my money on going away with my family than anything I could buy. Being in Canada during the winter it really decreases outdoor activities so unless you ski or enjoy outdoor sports there isn’t a whole lot to do. Our restaurants are not allowing indoor dining and as I’ve said with the cold weather no one is going to want to dine outdoors. I’m doing my best to minimalize my belongings and will focus on that as much as I can during the winter months. I pray that things will get better worldwide so that we can resume a somewhat “normal” life and start to enjoy adventures with friends and family. Thank you for this wonderful video and I wish you and your family a happy, healthy and safe new year.😊❤️🙏
Praying that things will get better soon. I can only imagine when it's back to normal and we're able to travel freely and spend more time with people who are close to us. Stay safe and stay warm Debbie ❤️ big hugs from Maui
Thank you for this. I was so relaxed just listening to your voice. :) Be intentional! I love that. In a world where everything is Go Go Go and it stopped because of the pandemic..it is such a privilege to actually be mindful about all the blessings we have. I am grateful that I subscribed to your channel. I am in my 60s all the way from Manila 🇵🇭 Philippines.
So glad it was relaxing 😁❤ thank you for watching

Through the video I listened to all the things you bought up. But I also thought of how beautiful and peace ful this video is, how well made it is!! It's like a clip from a movie!
Something we sometimes maybe not think about is how much time there is behind a video.
❤ thanks for even thinking of that!

small changes can make such a big impact in our lives. These tips are wonderful!
Happy New Year!
I'm INFJ too. That could be the reason why I am so into your channel! Your channel vibes is soothing.
happy new year :)
I'm INfJ too, grateful for our life and thanks for your stories
I found this helpful today. Thank you for putting it out there. The little green lizard at the end also brought me joy. :) I recently found your channel and have been enjoying it.
Nice reinforcement! I am setting intentions this year rather than just goals. It feels right for me. Great video, thanks 😊
👍👍
The habit stacking might just change my whole world. I am someone who has a really hard time with daily consistency or habits every day and that is the best advice. Thank you.
Becoming self-aware turned my life around. I've become very selective of my exposure to social connections, and it's made my life more peaceful. I love your video. It's super aesthetic and calming
Love your soothing voice thank you for your positive videos ❤blessings
Welcom back sofi thanks for shareing your wisdoms with us💚
Hi Sophie,while I watch your video with my coffee,I know my day will be great,balanced and be more present👍🏼
❤️ thank you Linda! I'm glad my videos pair nicely with coffee :)
INFJ here! No wonder I love your channel ☺️🤗
Glad you can relate : )
Yup! Watched a couple of your videos and from the content, approach, quality and soulful, down-to-earth manner in which you express yourself and your values, it became obvious to me that you’re an INFJ too!!!
In connecting the dots and overarching patterns that make us who we are (as we express ourselves as INFJs), it becomes clearly evident that we’re ancient, sage souls, and more so as we mature, to where we’re able to take the deep profoundness and insights within our rich inner landscapes and distill them down in such a way that they find transformational expression that is poignant yet simple, and serves to light the way for others.
Thank you for sharing. It’s always a refreshing joy to encounter another rare, soulful and mature INFJ, and reaffirming in quite a few ways, and we all need that from time to time. Thank you. It’s been a pleasure.
I have really been loving your videos - they are so helpful! I'm also a INFJ so its no wonder your content is so relatable for me.
The key quotes are: "If you work hard enough and assert yourself, and use your mind and imagination, you can shape the world to your desires" and "Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul". Growth is present, trusting my intuitions, not limiting thoughts, and sincere. As a youth, it is hard to see the change in the beginning, but I try to be patience of the upcoming result:)
Making your youtube channel was one of the best decisions you made! Am in love ❤
