I’m a single mom and my house is always shut down by 8pm. People laugh and call me grandma for going to bed early but people also compliment me on how youthful and vibrant I am. I’m able to be vibrant and magnetic because I prioritize rest just like I prioritize my other responsibilities, regardless of what others say. Great conversation 💕
A couple of months ago, my family and I went away to the mountains for a few days and the slowness and quietness with nature had me wondering how we can incorporate this experience in our daily lives. I have been craving it ever since. Thanks for exposing this way of life. I don’t think we were made to constantly live in a chaotic society.
I love that you mentioned slow living is doing things that lengthen our lives. So important to slow down, take deep breaths and embrace the present moment
I've been living like this for the last 5 years, it's been a slow transition but I love who I am now. It all started with a minimalist documentary I saw on Netflix and I just loved that. I'm not a total minimalist but I now buy things that I love and everything in my house has a purpose, a use, most of my things are from the Thrift store and they are great quality and beautiful things that were less than $5 but those things make me happy. I have a few designer things because I used to work for D&G but I don't have many clothes, just really great quality and cute/sexy and meaningful wardrobe. I have incorporated that healthy minimalism into my femininity and have also done lots of work on myself, counselling, healing my child hurts etc. My apartment is very cute, everyone tells me it has a Paris feel to it, people also always tell me that "I'm a vibe or that I'm an organic hippie" and I love it because I see they get it! I also only let amazing souls into my life and it doesn't matter what age they are, they have to bring joy in some form and I do the same for them. I also, thank God every day for the life I have. I grew up in a small beach town and we used to eat from the garden, so I’ve always done that. I’m older now but people think I’m in my early 30s because my skin is radiant and my body is toned because I exercise. So yes, I agree with you that living slower and with purpose is the best thing you can do for yourself in this lifetime!
This was such an important video! After a hectic week, I love to open my balcony and cuddle on the couch listening only to the birds chirping and the atmosphere on the weekend. It resets and refreshes me. I love how you mentioned that children need the space to relax and not have their entire schedule filled up with activity after activity. Nurturing family time is so important and as they get quiet time, they get to know themselves, to be creative, to daydream and live in the moment. I think it is good to have moments like this where they shut off from electronic devices as well. You are so divine and beautiful in this autumn palette, Michelle!
As I’m making a late lunch and eating standing up in the kitchen I heard you say that we should sit and eat. I immediately went and sat at the dining table and enjoyed my meal in peace. Thank you for being a guiding light!
thank you! i'm exhausted i'm taking a break been going to the gym everyday lately before work and took sundays off to go to church. i just ate 2 tomatoes in slices. i turn my phone off so i can rest when i come home
I see why I am the way I am, why I’m always drawn to living slow and taking time to rest and to think… Not just because I’m an introvert but because that’s what my feminine side longs for and needs. I need to get over feeling guilty for it though. Thank you for another wonderful video!💕😌
I'm 34. I take it slow. I don't like going everywhere. I don't care to go shopping😂 My Mom, she is nonstop going, going everywhere! Wanting to do everything! Then she's tired but then still wants to go to the movies or something. She needs to stop. When I was little she dragged me everywhere! I hated it. Also, I noticed how she is always eating while driving. I'm like No I am going to wait til I get home and enjoy my food. And I typed this before I got to that part of your video! Thank you for this. I've never heard of slow living, but I believe I live this way. I stay home with my kids, take them to school. This past Saturday my husband and I did boardgames with them and then watched the Labrynth. They had so much fun!
Oh Sweetheart, this video is a true jewel. You spoke so many spiritual truths. A million thanks to you for this valuable content. I especially like how you spoke on the sabbath. That is something that I have recently incorporated into my weekly routine thanks to one of my pastors sermons a couple years ago. I believe that "slow living" is part of Gods original design. Social media can become an idol due to it's nature to constantly be engaged. Proper management with Gods help is a necessity for me. 😊 God bless you and yours! Selah
I love the content of this video so much! Fact that you mentioned the colors that are earth tones are gorgeous even down to your nail color. By the way, what is the name of the nail color you are wearing please?!?!?!
Smooches Michelle 💋.... Thank you so much for this video. I take the last 3 months of the year to really reflect on how my previous months leading up to October, November and December have been. And I use this time to think about what worked for me and what didn't work for me. And then in December I look at the solutions so that I will not bring the things that did not work into 2024. I do observe the sabbath which is what we call Saturday which is the 7th day. And not only that, but I take Sabbath rests all throughout the day during the week. 10 minutes here 5 minutes there or whatever and I go to a still quiet place without my phone. I love you so so much and I enjoy your content. 💋
I always tend to feel antsy when I'm at home until this one day I stopped moving for a sec and realized that I was moving too fast and I took a few breaths and calmed down . I then started to move slow paced and steady and throughout my whole day. It was soo peaceful and bliss I couldn't believe it 😌 😢🥰🥰🥰
Well when I was living overseas during the pandemic life was really slower paced. I definitely had more time to read for fun! Also, I would take longer walks, cook fresh meals some days and chew slower. It was a blessing getting the chance to slow down more!
Yes I'm into slow living. And one of the things I did is having rest days. Now I like to workout.. I still workout like every single day because I absolutely love it but I also take rest without feeling guilty about it. Now take 3 rest days without any guilt. And guess what happened? I have more energy, I perform better at the gym. I loved this video.. Thank you so much Dr. Daf.. you're so kind💗🌺
Hi Michelle👋 I just want to appreciate you for creating this beautiful content. I struggle a lot with slowing down because I’ve always had to show up strong n working long hours. God bless you.
I loooovvvee your content! Since the start of my journey your content helped tremendously with my femininity💕. I’m so grateful for it all! Including your podcasts 😌
I'm 56, a wife and best selling author. But, best believe I am never exhausted, or wiped out because of the grind. I don't do that. I write and submit when I want, which may be years between Lol I enjoy a lovely, luxury lifestyle (the things I desire to take care of me) at the pace God intends for me. I garden and enjoy the life my Hubzy and I have built together. My husband doesn't demand me to hustle. He loves me to be happy which makes him happy. God first, my family and then the rest falls in where it does at my pace. - the Sabbath was part of the Mosaic at Law, which ended when Jesus gave his life on the stake....but, yes... I take a day to just do ME, be a homebody whatever... Relaxing for me.❤
Hi Michelle! Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been watching you for about a year now and always enjoy your content. Lately, I’ve been growing spiritually. I used to pray on the go like whenever I’m driving or something like that. Now, I am intentionally incorporating 30 mins into my mornings to do Bible study. I also cook almost every morning (5-6 mornings a week) and 3 times a week for dinner, where I take my time and enjoy cooking for my family. I want to work on getting off my phone an hour before bed daily. Thanks for your content as usual! 💕
Hi sweetheart! Thank you for sharing this with us. That is so wonderful that you're incorporating these things into your life. It makes alllll of the difference! God bless you babe 🩷💕
Dear Michelle! I really really loved that video! Your content has helped me a lot this year. Just one suggestion to keep in mind before you do the video about food. Please consider that animals are living beings and do not want to be harmed. That's why I am embracing a vegan lifestyle for food, clothings, make up etc. Also it is extremely unhealthy for our body to eat animals and their secretions. There are also quite some quotes in the bible that show that Jesus and the Lord do not agree with harming animals. They are equally creatures of god. This is for example from Isaiah 1:11 -16 “The multitude of your sacrifices- what are they to me?” says the Lord. “I have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals; I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats. 12 When you come to appear before me, who has asked this of you, this trampling of my courts? 13 Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations- I cannot bear your worthless assemblies. 14 Your New Moon feasts and your appointed festivals I hate with all my being. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. 15 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you; even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening. Your hands are full of blood! 16 Wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight; stop doing wrong.
Thank you sweetheart. It is my belief that God gave us the earth and animals for food and that passage is moreso referring to the fact that an animal's blood will no longer cut it for atonement and God's frustration with His people's behavior. But I appreciate you taking the time to share.
