    I really needed this.. Been having a rough time with my mental due to job hunting and getting distracted from social media..constantly comparing my life to others is not healthy. So I deleted tiktok and Instagram to keep me focused. Your content keeps me sane and motivated. Thank you so much, Sophie. ♡

    Thank you! After forty years chasing after what society wants for us, I went back to college and learned the topics that interested me. It meant saying 'no' to distractions more than anything else. I think you're absolutely right about unplugging from constant worry and materialism.

    ‘Pay better attention to the life that is happening right in front of me’. This is so perfectly said and so true. Life is what is happening right in front of us, when we lose sight of that we lose sight of life. While things like mobile phones can be a convenience, the can also distract us from life.

    I've been everywhere, done everything. After retiring 15 years ago I had to let go of the recurring impulse to work. I had to learn not to eat/drink bad things and clear my body of inflammation. I've accomplished everything and let go of ambitions of my youth. In 1970 only %7 of people lived alone according to Census data. Now almost %30 do. No coincidence- this was engineered. You're so cute @3:59 with a book opened to 'banana'. I chuckle. I chuckle at everything now. I fear nothing- I chuckle at fear. chuckle, chuckle, it's no joke, chuckle.

    With ADHD, so what’s helped me is when I use a Pomodoro app, so I have 25 minutes for chores or whatever, and 5 minute breaks after each session. I just have to actually prioritize doing that tho, cuz it’s easy to just hang out with the kids for hours or waste time on my phone instead of being productive or doing something else I enjoy that isn’t on my phone, like drawing, sewing, or cooking. (Instead of just making the leftovers stretch, and eating less healthy meals because they’re quicker.) Also that tree is gorgeous!! ❤

    Hi Sophie, I loved your initial statement more or less, our hardship cones from having too much rather than not enough - how profound. Most of us, certainly me, am often thinking about what I can bring into my life rather than what I can discard, or how I can fulfill a real need rather than a false need. Recently I thought well, my car has almost 100k miles, maybe it's a good time to get something newer before it breaks down. But that was just me with a "case of the wants", rather than just being haply with my present car which, yes, doesn't offer all the things I'd like - I see people all over the place with new luxurious cars and wish I could have that - but I'm living withon a budget and I take good care of my car and it will probably last another 100k miles. It's good enough. I realized I need to focus on deeper and present needs. Though it's also important to think of the distant future and to invest pur money, mostly I think it's important to focus on now and our true deepest needs, big or small. And ask ourselves always, what makes us happy, what is meaningful to us. Thanks for reminding us and giving us an example. And welcome back to the Hawaiin Islands!

    Hi Sophie! 🩷🙋‍♀️
    Thank you for this. Also for mentioning the book "myth of nornal". Thinking about getting one.
    I have a lot of mental and emotional clutter at the moment. So this video certainly gently shook me to examine my thoughts....it's exhausting and very unhealthy to always spend time and energy on feeling too cramped in my brain and heart. I wish it is so much easier to let most of the clutter go. 😔
    Take care Sophie. 🩷🩷🩷🙋‍♀️

    Recently, I bought 4 books for readables; being about the genes and genomes on DNA and the double helix! This was my favourite subject, and it also helps me with "understanding" the plants I paint! I also read some spiritual books, like Bhuddism! And, since I like wabi sabi, I can relate them, too!

Yet, it's taking years to clear but I'm blessed that guiding angels like you are appearing and helping clear the clouds of procrastination .🌸 Thank you so very much for this very grounding video ❤

    I think it is so important that you make your three things you want to get done list. It is good to have goals and to focus on them, and then you can get to the other things you should or need to. Very wonderful.
    Clutter truly is too distracting and not fun.

    You don't know how much you have been helping me over the last year. The love of my life, my husband of 4 plus years, ended our marriage. The grief and devastation have been nothing less than traumatic & paralyzing.
    Your channel along with other favorites, professional help and 3 friends have been my sources of pulling myself through, fighting tooth & nail, to turn my journey into one of healing & opportunity.
    Distractions including clutter DEFINITELY have had a huge impact concerning my healing & restoration. It is also difficult for me to create a new life for myself when I have these distractions hanging over my head.... constantly.
    I have made progress.... slowly however surely....and thanks to this video, I am about to get up, put my phone down and continue what I had planned on doing today. And that includes going into nature and allowing myself to appreciate its beauty.
    Thank you again Sophie.

    Hi Sophie 👋,
    Sometimes, life distractions can get in the way of us focusing on being present and embracing what’s happening right in front of us (if we choose to let them, that is). At the same time however, I don’t think many of us would understand what it really means to prioritize what we know is most important for us without these life distractions and their impact on us and our daily lives.
    Sending you lots of love!!! ❤️❤️❤️🤗

Also, I am way better with the internet (iPhone and laptop).

    Hi!! I love this video and how you opened about distractions, I have a hard time with the phone, I find myself using it all day for whatever reason, I watch even emails if Instagram does serve me as distraction anymore, so I really appreciate you commented on this. I will be more conscious of the choices I am making and how much time I spend with the phone. Thankssss❤

    Clever use of the cinnamon coffee dalgona as a topping/combo with the banana chocolate brownies.

    I really like the place where you live. I live in UK where the weather is mostly cold. Your videos are amazing. 😍

    I grew up right here in Kailua
    walked on those paths, sat on those exact rocks, for most of my life
    every day I don’t live there is absolutely surreal
    I moved away almost 4 years ago and almost can’t imagine my life there anymore
    But at the same time it is deeply sad not to live there
    Not sure if that makes any sense?? But thats how I feel
    I’m hoale but was born and grew up in these exact spots
    Can’t imagine how native Hawaiians feel having to find other living options due to inflation
    Its a very expensive life
    This type of portrayal of HI is the “paradise” version, there are very exploitative & negative sides to it
    But ultimately I do miss the mana in the land and sea there, it will always be my true home
    Love all the true aspects of HI ❤️❤️
