"Focus. Be here and now. A distracted mind is a recipe for unhappiness." -Paulo Coelho

Anyone else want a recipe blog made by her? Everything she eats looks amazing😊

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.

Nowadays, most of us don't want to face reality, it's bored, but the magical is when you can do that without spending your all time on social media waiting for a like.

Being material rich weigh me down but a simple life freed me in alot of ways, that's so true ..! Thank you for your inspiring words .♥️♥️♥️

The sound of her voice is so calming..

I hate having clutter and unnecessary things in my home. I feel you.

Your voice is more healing than any relaxing music I could find in the whole internet. I've watched one of your video over a month a go and now it has become a habit for me to watch your videos when i am stressed out. It really helps me than anything else... ❤ Sending you lots of love..

All the happiness journey's include not having materialistic stuff and living life slowly enjoying all the things around us. All of this is what hinduism teaches us and can truly change your life 🥰

‘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.

Letting go of mental clutter is so important but takes time. As for distractions, social media can be fun but also a distraction and one of the ways that I unwind is to simply read and write. Thanks for this lovely video.

Love your heart, Sophie. Your gift for organizing your thoughts and expressing them so poetically and truthfully is very special.

This is SO True! Checking the media or texting is such a big distraction!👍🏻👍🏻

You have such a calming voice and you inspire me with every video! Thank you so much :)

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!! ❤

I was JUST gifted The Myth of Normal this weekend!! LOVE Dr. Gabor Matè!

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.

Absolutely! I am in the process of decluttering. I can honestly say I have not missed anything that has gone out of the house. Thank you for sharing these beautiful thoughts in a beautiful way😊

Your videos are therapeutic , thank you dearest Sophie . Sending you lotsa love 😍

I love the simplicity! Thank you!

Your voice is so smoothing. Thank you so much for sharing. ✨

1020am here, Sylvan Lake. Alberta. 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. 🩷🩷🩷🙋‍♀️

This was such a good reminder to take a good look at how we spend our time so we don't just get swept along, wake up one day and realize we didn't do what we really wanted to do. Thank you for this 💚 I got a double reminder the other day after watching this when I opened Lightroom and it said "Remove Distractions" 😅

Thank you Sophie for posting. ❤

Well said Sophie.."having too much rather than not enough.."

Thanks for sharing this beautiful video. I needed it ❤️

Adding this to my daily routine. Listening to her experience. ❤😊❤

Thank you Sophie! I’ve heard your message of letting go before but it is such an important reminder in the present. Holding on to the past good or bad never brings peace in the present. Beautiful being you are💕

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!

This is a very beautiful video. I loved its simplicity and the way you designed it. Thankyou for being

Sophie that was good cinematic structure you made it seem like you randomly went to the library and happened to find a recipe for banana bread that inspired you and then you went home and made it. I like that ❤

Thank you❤

You're welcome! I am a loyal viewer and I enjoy the quality of your content. I also love your outfits!!

Thank you…I use your vids like a guided meditation.❤

Thank you 🥹🤍.

you have such a beautiful voice🤩

I’m glad I saw this as I am in the process of doing a huge decluttering . I have at times felt guilty for getting rid of certain things which I don’t want or even use !. I know this might sound odd, however your video has helped me a little with that now ❤

One of the only channels where listening is therapeutic in itself.

I love your videos so much and i wish to see more of them coming soon.

I just take one time to sit and listen her (watch too) ! Amazing relaxing time ❤ no need more than this moment 😊

I had no idea Hawaii had a lantern festival as well. Thanks for sharing and giving food for thought.

Un vrai moment de détente et de plaisir ! Tes vidéos sont vraiment apaisantes merci ❤

So soothing to my soul thanks beautiful lady 🥰❤️💖🙏🏽👌

I am so glad you are back to Hawaii 😊 i love this beautiful scenery actually and missed it while you were away…
