I thought of you when I was in the Post Office queue for half an hour, BOILING and stressed. I reminded myself how lucky I am to have people in my life who I love, to post things to and to be warm and sheltered. Then later when a car didn’t indicate on a roundabout and I was initially angry because I could’ve gone, I reminded myself that they could be an exhausted mother, who has a million other more important things to think about. Suddenly my journey being delayed by a few seconds didn’t matter that much to me. This way of treating my thoughts has given me a much better perspective on life. Thank you!!
Hey Lydia, I just wanted to say thank you. I have been suffering for the past 2 years with severe depression and anxiety two weeks before my cycle, digestion issues, skin issues, the list goes on. I had never heard of PMDD and my GP had never mentioned it. Following your video, I made an appointment with a specialist gynaecologist and have now been diagnosed with PMDD and am on a diet plan, supplement plan and medication to help me. Thank you for being so open about your diagnosis, you will never know how much it has helped me too ❤
Great video.🤩
I thought of you yesterday because I received a text and choose not to let it affect me and I wouldn’t have known I could do that with you. So thank you for continuing to help people like me grow. ❤
This is quite possibly the best comment I have ever received. How powerful for you! I bet you feel unstoppable 🥹🥰
@@lydiamillenWe come here to be entertained and you do a great job. Keep the luxury elegant videos coming❤
I can’t be the only one who would LOVE to see a curated classical playlist of your favourite music for each season on Spotify & Apple 😅 Lovely video as always Lydia x
Hi Lydia. Here is a tip: When walking in the country side or out in nature, carry a empty bag with you, if you see litter pick it up please and put in the the bag. Once it is full throw it in the bin. What you said in the beginning of your video, reseoanted with me so much.
7am in Aus and I thought I’d watch the news for the first time in 2 months only to be met with two politicians having a nasty back and forth. Turned it off and came to watch Lydia. Saved my day watching this happiness.
My son suffers from disordered eating and it stems from anxiety. I have used the concept of his brain serving him ideas bc his anxiety is in hyperdrive and when he stops and thinks about the fact that he has a choice it has been a game changer!!! This concept has been game changing for us! Thank you!
I love watching you and Ali. You two seem to have such a great relationship filled with love and laughter.
When Ali picked up the worm!............ a sign of a true outdoorsman!!!!!!😍
Hi Lydia - I’ve been finally starting to live like you. I had a terrible week at work so I started my mornings with skincare, your book, putting on my boots and raising my head high. Trying my best to live an easygoing and tranquil lifestyle even with the stress going on around me.
It is so incredibly amazing how the brain works and how we can actually change our thoughts. Switch from negative talk into being grateful. Not always an easy task juggling kids and work. I was in the car this morning, stuck in a horrible traffic on a motorway, with 3 kids late for school, raining as hell outside. My mind decided to remind me of other negatives, serious health issues within the family, work stress etc, why not... Deep breath, some funny affirmation songs for kids on Spotify. It was not us that had a car accident and this is enough to be grateful for today! Thank you for having a strength to be out there for us and inspiring us daily. Lots of positive vibes to you all out there x
I love the message at the start of this video Lydia. I have to share yesterday I was chatting with my husband over text and was typing the words-another miserable day ( it’s been dark and gloomy) and I stopped and remembered how you have spoken about this before and changing your mindset to be more positive and I deleted that text and instead wished my husband to have a good day at work. It really easy to forget to be grateful for all the things, especially the things that you wish were better, but the true blessing is having any and all experiences.
The beginning of this video resonated with me so much! I think when you’re someone who deals with anxiety (I definitely am!) it can be so easy to let one thing not going the way you planned, or a problem popping up, cause you to go into a stress spiral that starts minor but then you keep focusing on all of the negatives until you’re way more inconvenienced and stressed by it than if you tried to reframe things positively and that actually it’s not the end of the world. I am currently trying to work on this myself, it is not always easy but I can literally feel the difference in my body when I force myself to reframe things!
This is just so incredible. You’re realising the power you hold within you x
That’s a big principle of stoicism, the recognition that we have control over our own thoughts and actions but not over external events or the behavior of others. Not easy to do at times and not always successful at it lol. Gratitude is also another main principle.
I will read more about this, thank you for sharing ❤
Love the way Ali makes you laugh!
I so agree. I was thinking I hope my daughters husband makes her laugh like that❤
What a lovely Valentines day! I just finished that series, w/Dex & Em! You are in for some tears!
The continued joy Lydia's content brings me is a twice weekly tick over that keeps me going. Doesn't sound a lot but there is something in every vlog that works for me💖
I just love you little talks Lydia...they are def helping me stay focused ...we all need help now and again to realise what we actually have rather than what we dont .....also have to say how healthy and beautiful you are looking lately...good food doing the trick .. we are what we eat...loved the video as always .❤
Hooray for Lydia! Been following you forever and I just wanted to send a quick message saying it makes me very happy to see you so joyous and having so much fun in your life. You are such an inspiration to live life on your own terms ❤
I just LOVE your videos. The honesty and "Realness" of savoring every second of Every Day we are blessed with!
You're learning to control your thoughts at a much earlier age than I did ...you're ahead of the game.. but it's so true.. if we just stop and think about the positive and everything we will find something to be grateful and thankful for..❤ I try and tell myself now that my new mantra is.. I have it good and I know it.
I’m only 3 minutes in Lydia but I just wanted to drop a comment about your experience on the train home and being aware of those negative thoughts. You say there’s worse problems but we all suffer these kinds of thought and sometimes on a daily and it’s so important to start being aware of them and the more aware you become of them the less fuelled these thoughts are the more control you have over them. I take the bus sometimes to work and sometimes it can be so busy but I’ve learnt to change my negative thoughts and I’m actually able to laugh a little at how my brain can get so agitated over absolutely nothing. I just pop my headphones in look around at other people and wonder what they’ve been doing today and where they’re going home to etc. and just tell myself little cute stories about these people. I just wanted to give me 2p at how it is very important to be aware of these thoughts and good on you for being open minded enough to start to focus your thoughts in a most positive way!
Also you have the best smile and teeth! Your eyes sparkle when you smile! Such a beautiful lady! ❤
Hi lovely Lydia 😘
I just wanted to say how much I admire all the hard work you’ve done, on shifting your daily mindset to one of positivity & gratitude! 👏 I’ve been following you for years & I can see how much you’ve grown as a person. I always loved your content, but it’s even more inspiring & meaningful now! ❤️
Lovely flowers worked for Elizabeth for 20 years used to test all the creams and capsules love all of there products used them a lot ❤❤
Thank you, Lydia, for sharing with us your precious moments. Have a wonderful day!
It's likely that some of those aren't bumblebees, but carpenter bees. If so, they aren't trying to get out of the greenhouse, they're looking for wood in the structure. They will bore into the wood to house their larvae, very smart. I see them doing this in our barn this time of year by the dozens. ❤
Thank you Lydia for sharing your life and to what helps you overcome the darkness that goes around trying to keep us slaves of our own negative thoughts.
As a cancer survivor and a believer in Christ, my faith helped me so much to stay positive and hopeful. I trusted God was in control. I learned to keep "captive any bad thoughts" God ministered my heart, mind and soul when I surrendered everything to him and that truly saved my life and made me a new creation. I wake up everyday feeling thankful and even on a bad day, I feel joyful for another lovely day I get to live!
i enjoyed the Q and A with Ali. I'm married to a self professed perfectionist Lydia for 41 years and when Ali was mentioning all you do that's SO me but I tell my old man Opposites attract and just think how boring your life would be without me! Thank You for teaching me at 63 to Grow to let Go of negativity and believe me in South Africa I need positive Thoughts ALL the time or I'll go Crazy!!!!
I finished One Day the other night. It was so moving, it will stick with me for a long time. I thought the actors were fantastic. Just watch it! ❤
I love how you are with Ali. Always laughing. 💕
It was so neat to go along on your hike. What a wonderful way to be with your hubby. I am going to find a way to do something similar with mine. I also appreciate the advice on changing what I call, the state of play. Changing ones thinking.❤
Love this countryside Lydia. The events are lovely but this is the jam 😊❤
The tip you shared about changing your attitude to minor inconveniences resonated with me in the respect that you celebrated your progress when you were able to successfully overcome a negative thought pattern and kick it in the pants. I struggle with avoiding unhealthy snacking and you sparked an idea for me to create a beautiful bullet journal page (this evening) I plan to track my progress by awarding myself a coloured heart every time I successfully resist this habit. Consequently today has been a successful day with no unhealthy snacking! (After a discouraging week of giving in to every temptation immediately and feeling like a complete failure)
Oh my goodness! I’m listening to the book, and it just makes so much sense! Thank you for talking about it. I don’t know that I would have found it otherwise!
Hi Lydia, what you said in the beginning of your video, was so eye opening for me. I am in my head alot and can easily spiral downwards, but deciding to be present and have things in my head to look forward too and take care of my mental health. To take charge of my thoughts and not let it run around like a crazy chicken. 😂 Thank you so much, I have learned alot from you over the years ❤
Hi Lydia! I lost my fur baby yesterday and am overwhelmed by grief. She had lung cancer and our vet had attempted to remove a lobe of her lung yesterday but unfortunately when he got into the area he realized that actually the tumor was much too far gone to be able to remove as it was twisted around several very delicate areas. I never truly thought she’d never make it out of the surgery but the vet had to put her to sleep on the surgery table with me holding her paws 💔
Can you please make a video maybe with your life coach talking about grief and ways to approach your mindset in those moments where you feel like you’re never going to be happy again and are just distraught? 🙏🙏
Sending hugs!❤❤❤❤
This to me is the perfect Valentine Day ❤
I am so pleased you are changing your oils. I was screaming at the computer the other day, as I listened to you, as seed oils are terrible. We use, olive, avocado, goose, ghee, butter and bacon fat. However, read the label to make sure it's what it says it is. Also check oils in peanut butter, very often they add nasty oils to it. Really enjoying your journey. We changed our diet 5 years ago and we are now different people.
This is why I love watching you. Thank you so much for sharing this tip fro Jacqueline. I just adore you and hope you continue keeping these videos like this.
Absolutely loved seeing Ali on your champagne walk! Warming my heart to see the love you share.❤
This vlog was so fun to watch. Thank you for taking us along with you on your hikes. I love seeing the English countryside, and the adventures that happen along the way.
So enjoyed this video with your Valentine's Day out with Allie. Also love when you are out in your garden. Don't throw away your rosemary cuttings, they are so good for your hair and scalp. You can put the cuttings in oil and let it steep. It is wonderful for hair growth and scalp health. Xxx
Mrs Millen Gordon, you are helping people so very much. Because when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Our thoughts are so very powerful but we do have control over them. Thank you. 💕💕
Elizabeth Arden White Tea is my favourite at the moment, the shower gel, followed by the body cream and perfume, the fragrance lasts all day.
What a great intro. Thank you. This is the magic of our brain.❤
Negative thoughts are brain draining , i start thinking about what i will cook 4 dinner. Love the new video concept so relaxing 2 watch , plus reading ur book 4 second time look forward 2 the next one.
I just finished One Day and was gutted….of course the lessons are Clear but so heart wrenching….
I have been watching your videos from the very beginning Lydia.
I have grown with you through all of your life journey’s, as far as the internet goes that is.
I never comment on here.
But I’d just like to tell you, you have never seemed more content in yourself than you do now.
And you give such positive insight to things others may not have access too. Your self awareness is inspiring and makes me want to better my own life.
Your content continues to keep me focused and uplifted, and my husband always says “What would Lydia Millen do” 😅
I have been struggling with PMDD for quite sometime so to have you open up about it is very reassuring.
You’re like the sister I never had, the supportive friend, a hot cup of tea and a warm blanket after a long day.
Cheers to you 🥂
Lydia I have to tell you I work for Elizabeth arden a long time ago when the 8 hour cream was called the horse cream miss adren made it for her horse feet and when the capsule first came out people would take them by the by mouth and the company had to put a warning out its a great company love it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing flowers! What a nice surprise and display. 😊
Very well said, i always say when in moments of anxiety or stress"take a step back and re evaluate it always helps me. Just looked on the flower website and WOW WOW fell in love with all the flowers ive saved ready to spoil my mother on mothers day absolutely beautiful
I used the games yesterday when my dentist messaged me telling me I'd need to reschedule. It was such a faff to request the time off of work for leaving early and trudging out there. However my boss told me to take the time free anyways on him and have a nice evening with my hubby....so here's to playing the mindfulness game ❤
I love the positivity! It’s a really beautiful thing to share. We need this more in the world. Thank you for sharing. I want to gently touch on the importance and the difference with suppressing negative emotions. It’s ok to feel a little annoyed in situations and it’s important to acknowledge that. And then reinforce these feelings with something positive such as the examples you have given. Theres a fine line! Learnt the hard way after 25 years of suppressing real emotions.. but nonetheless 5 years in therapy has given a brand new perspective on that all!
I’m very much for positivity and sometimes it is hard. I find it hard when driving, if I accidentally cut someone up and they bib or shout at me, it affects me for the rest of the day. They have probably forgotten all about it and I’m still suffering! So I try and let it go, or even better don’t make eye contact with them 🤣
Your Valentines walk was a great idea and OMG those flowers 🌷 big enough or what! - good boy 😊
I must read ‘One Day’ and watch the film and series but engrossed in reading Tim Spector at the moment.
Great vlog Lydia, always get excited when I get notifications. Loving your book too, soo lovely, a book I can keep forever and read every year 💚🌱
Hey Lydia…
The best oil to use for Mayo is Pomice oil - It’s very light in colour with a very mild taste which is perfect for what you need! We use it and I make it in our kitchen at work every week for our cafe…😃👌🏼
By the by, I love that phrase!! x
Always a pleasure to see you thrive Lydia lovely vlog made by you. Continuous love love love from me to you queen always appreciate your presence keep going and keep up the amazing work Lydia thank you for making my Thursday a better one ❤❤❤😊
Lydia, Meteorologically, we in the last week of winter. Still feels like winter. However my daffodils are in bloom. I planted the bulbs last autumn. They look pretty..❤️👍❤️
I have just had to come back to this video to say wow about the Elizabeth Arden products! I placed an order using your code and each and every one of them is an ultimate luxury to use! I was familiar with the 8 hour range but the serum capsules are a whole other ball game! So so gorgeous to use on my usually dry skin! Looking forward to seeing results too. Thank you Lydia 🙏🏼🥰
This was a brilliant vlog, I laughed so much with you two on your gorgeous walk. Such an adventure 🙏
I loved this video ❤
What beautiful video you have made ✨
AHhhh another lovely video to watch!
Omg your Valentine´s day dates looks so stunning! I´m such a country girl in these days and days like that are looking/feeling so lovely 💝♥🥰
The way you say you curate your feed to be beneficial for your mental health, I do the same with news. As a person who holds a Political Science degree, I’ve done my fair share of reading the news and it always left me saddened. I have chosen to not watch the news, and my fiancé always says I’m naïve, because I don’t know what’s going on in the world, but it’s so much better for my mental health to not read/hear about the terrors locally and abroad daily.
Lydia ❤ you are ‘my’ Life coach ❤️🥰
Awww and then your vlog finished. Love love love, ❤ and thank you for helping us all with your wise words. It is so easy to say a negative but I turn it around and it makes me smile ❤ hope you all have a lovely day ❤
You are such a dollface honey and it has been the most utmost pleasure watching your grow and achieve your metal health goals, your business goals and lifestyle in general goals. I look forward to watching your continued growth years to come. Don't forget to have downtime alone time with Ali....nurturing your marriage is number one, no success is worth it without someone great to share it with. No one is going to love, and protect you more Than Ali.
Ali...."we have a squirter"!😂.the comments that come out of his mouth love your vlogs together ❤😊
For me it helps to put on very long gardening gloves when gardening in overgrown areas where creepy crawlers might hide. It feels like a bit of a protection 😅. They reach up to my elbows. Sometimes they are called rose gardening gloves. Maybe that might help 😊
When I use to travel home from work on a country road, behind a car that is doing 20mph, I used to say to myself “ this is perhaps for a reason, calm down and enjoy the ride home “ and have used that mantra since 😊
Have just ordered the water cream to tie in with my temple spa products 👏🏻👏🏻
Much as though the flowers are lovely but transient. I like bulbs or plants in pots. They last & can be replanted in the garden. I would suggest you move the rosemary to a bed as it’s growth will be stunted in the container. Rosemary grows to a large bush.
Most likely that was a tapped spring flowing into that basin. Had it been direct run off from the fields it would be muddy unless it is going through a series of filters. In that case, it would not be safe to drink. No one wants giardiasis! This weeks rain is next weeks spring water. It filters down through the ground into an aquifer and as the new water filters in it pushes the "old" water up and out.
Normally, regardless of the time of year, spring water is very cold! I have a spring under my house that flows into a crock in my basement. It is crystal clear and ice cold all year long. Always good to make a mental note when you find a spring.You never know when you might need it.
Thought about that too when our only car right now broke down. In our area it is definitely needed lol. So as I was hoping it could be fixed and worried, I told myself, no, you're lucky you still have it instead. So through it I befriended the car guy and learned more and refocused and was happy. Broke but happy. 🤣 With a new attitude!
So thank you for the reminders!🙏
Loved your hornet strawberry rescue mission!
Lovely vlog as usual 🥰 Your recent styling of turtlenecks and buttoned shirts reminds me of Diane Keaton a little bit. She is such an icon! If you aren’t familiar with her style, I think you’d really like her
I had heard British people complain about the mud but my goodness wow! No wonder you guys invented the Wellie!
The flowers ❤❤❤
Positive thinking is a skill, you have to work on it. I love Daniel Amen, MD. He is a psychiatrist and his clinic performs lots of studies on the brain. I love his books, they are so positive and helps with training your brain and becoming a better you.
When I have spiraling thoughts (which happens more often than I’d like to admit) I try to tell myself “my thoughts are not my reality- they’re just my thoughts” mantras like that are good distractions and ways of “changing the channel” in your brain 😅
Yes, the key is to distinguish between voluntary cognition (thinking) and automatic thoughts & judgements. Take ownership of the former and adopt greater distance from the latter (which cognitive psychology calls 'cognitive distancing'. Don't get 'carried away' by your automatic thoughts and judgments, this is known as 'cognitive fusion'. Sounds like you're doing great though at recognising the difference though.
Some people have days like that every day. I know I used to when I commuted over an hour every day. But I work a 5 min drive away….yay.
Hi Lydia greetings from Nz (still very hot here around high 20s so sending you some sunshine hugs your way🤗 xx) what i love about your content is your like a tree with many branches, one minute your talking about beautiful brands and the next about your deep thoughts and inspirations or outside simply giggling away with the chooks and dogs, keeping it real! ,remember when there's many branches and so much going on your feet are like the roots, get the grass between your toes or stand in a babble brook , tap into earths energy🌳 ( on a sunny warm day of coarse😉) love watching your journey of discovery thank you x☺
Beautiful !!!!!
x from Oz 🇦🇺🌸
This is such a joy to watch!!! Will do the walk with my hobby, sucha a great idea ❤❤ Regards from Poland ❤❤
You two are the cutest. I have loved your vlogs lately. I love this more down to earth Lydia. My hubby and I would love a pub crawl with you guys but we live in the US so that may be too long of a walk for Alex.
You can use butter in mayo and it’s delicious! Better than any oil.
Our mental health is everything Lydia, I couldn't agree with you more. If we all worked on our peace of mind I firmly believe there would be more peace in our lives, communities and world. Your videos are a soft place for many of us to land.
So grateful to be able to provide that 🤍🤍🤍
💞 You and Ali and Kerry always make me laugh, please give Kerry a big hug from me. Everyone should have a bestie like her (and you)❣@@lydiamillen

Hi Lydia, I love your videos!! Thank you so much for making us all smile twice a week when you upload. The healthiest oils for you to choose would be avocado oil or olive oil. Virgin, extra virgin and cold pressed oils are ones that have been minimally processed. However, unprocessed oils can have a lower smoke point (where the oil breaks down and harmful chemicals can be produced). If you are frying or baking food at a high heat then rapeseed oil is the best choice for you - as it has a higher smoke point, and has a heart-healthy fat profile. Fats such as ghee and coconut oil are very high in saturated fats so regular use of these may be harmful to your blood fat and cholesterol levels. I hope that helps!
Lydia, you look very beautiful and at peace. I have been practicing negativity into positivity and being grateful fo all the good the universe is sending my way. Always enjoy listening to your wise advice. Have a great week.
❤ Love you from Alabama USA watch you everyday. Love you
Lydia stunning as always!!!
If your oil tastes and smells foul then it has gone rancid, seed oils can go rancid very quickly, including olive oils. Quality and freshness is definitely key. Try using tallow or lard for your high heat cooking (goose fat like you've said), and a high quality avocado oil for the mayo ☺ Oils can definitely be a rabbithole themselves... when I decided to stop using seed oils I saw a complete clear up of my melasma, and that blew my mind. Anyway, happy exploring 💚
Driving in Los Angeles, can turn a calm person into a MONSTER…so when I feel myself starting to not breathe, then it’s a spiral. In practicing mindfulness, I have replaced with deep breathing, classical music. Last week I went to Target out of the BLUE a woman waiting in line started arguing with me. Still not sure what about. I started to try and understand what was going on…then I realized..she simply wanted a fight..I CALMLY told her maam I’m very sorry you are having such a bad day. But I will not engage you..I’m simply not going to fight. She followed me to my car. I never found out what triggered her..NOT MY ISSUE. I must admit I had to turn car on and turn on classical music and deep breath, “this is not my path, this is NOT my path. Fhhewww.. ok check… I don’t always pass the test, but the more I practice mindfulness, it makes it easier to move past the anxiety. Sometimes easier than others.
It shakes you when that happens but when you find the power to not allow yourself to be pulled into that energy, it’s like the most empowering moment. So proud of you x
I always give struggling bumble bees sugared water. Really enjoy your videos 🥰
Lovely episode. Geo caching is a fun way to put a little more adventure into a hike especially with kids and friends. Golf pencils are good to carry when you come across a small one as they fit better in smaller cases. You will need to come up with a geocach name if you want. Would love to see Ali’s pics of the snowdrops ( my favorite) the walks you do are they walks that you choose from an app or to you start and decide your destination and follow your phone navigation? Very enjoyable- thank you!
I suggest you take your 'softening thoughts' one step further. Instead of mentally removing yourself from the surroundings and thinking about being home in cuddly socks, I find it's works wonders to simply embrace the present. Take in the people and the London life. The hurried pace that sooooo many around the world would die for! Just get grounded in the present, and people watch, and go into deep gratitude that you are safe, that you have the blessing the means to get your hair done by a London stylist, that you have the money for a train ticket, and that you have a lovely, cozy home to return to. 🥰🥰❤❤
Hello from a cold and wet NW Highlands. Will watch later as I always do.
I use this.... Im a man... it works for men as well.... ITS THE BEST.... I use all the Elizabeth Arden skin care night and day as well as it worked in less then 1 week..... THE BEST EVER even for men.
So I have a shirt like yours in the blue and red stripe BUT it's silk and made by the brand Equipment 😍 adds another level of chic. Not warm! But so cool. I love wearing it.
