Let's talk about intentional living and living a slow, intentional life. Creating habits that allow us to live authentically and live a life that suits us. Slow living, enjoying the present moment and making conscious choices. Shaping our life in a way that allows us to feel happy. And all that good stuff. :)
Minimalist living, simple living, slow living and how to more intentionally really work well together, in my opinion. If we want to know how to slow down and create space to pause and reflect, these different lifestyles really compliment each other well. So today, I share 7 areas of life where we can simplify and live with more intention. This is intentional living for beginners, but also for those of you who just want the reminder and the inspiration.
Lots of love,
🌼 Vera

Hi everyone! 🤗🍵 In what ways would you like to live more intentionally? 👇👇

@damzeleve7079 2 жыл бұрын

This year, I practiced letting go of things that I do not need anymore and I always ask myself before buying if it is useful to me. Having simple and things thay I actually use keeps my mind organized and lessen stress. I also agree that what you in your downtime affects your mood when you're at work or doing something. I am super thankful for your video😊❤️

Here are ~10~ things that I have added to my life to help me become more intentional: Walking outside or reading my book outside bc nature calms me Eating more vegetables for snacks..I especially love pickles Taking time for my hobbies, knitting scrubbies for friends and family Buying a devotional Bible and reading through it Lying down in legs on wall pose to stretch my legs Developing daily am and pm routines set to ONLY my natural rhythms Saying no thank you and no in general when something does not suit me Thanking Jesus for my life and for my family's health Decluttering our home and becoming minimalist in mindset Watching only positive TV such as KZfaq content of friends like you!

I wonder if it is just that as we get older a day a week a month a year is a smaller and smaller percentage of our total time that we have lived? I know particularly for me weeks seems to go by in a flash. It is Sunday and I have things to do. Then before I can even turn around it is Sunday again. I am astonished at how time goes by at such speed now that I am old.

@juliab628 2 жыл бұрын

I feel the same way, Vera. For some reason it seems like the days are flying in melting into each other. At church on Sunday they were talking about taking time to pause breathe and slowing down. They gave us a prayer to put on the front of our phone to remind us. I think no matter what our faith beliefs are, we are all guilty of running from one place to the next, hurrying about and always thinking of what we're going to do next before we have finished what we are doing in the present moment. So I am working to be more intentional. Ironically, your channel has helped me think about this long before now. Thankful for this mindset.

I found your channel about a year ago and find your videos inspirational. You are very wise at your age. I am a 62-year-old married woman with grown children. I am in the process of decluttering my home because I want to own fewer belongings and when the time comes to move into a smaller home, I won't have as much to move.

Hi Vera, wonderful video, as always! I am very new to this mindful living/minimalism journey but so excited by the changes I've already seen in myself. It started with my wardrobe a few months ago, snowballed into the entire house and is spilling over into my heart and mind now :) You have been such a wonderful teacher for me as I've spent the last few weeks working my way through all of your videos and enjoying every minute of them! I am also very easily affected by what I watch and have to be careful to guard my mind and emotions and your videos have been a place of calm and peace for me. I wanted to thank you for everything you do and for sharing your beautiful soul with strangers

Great video! This is one I will rewatch. I have been more intentional in the people department. I cherish the close family, coworkers, friends, and partner that I have. I am much better at gauging others and am not as easily disappointed. I am trying to work on being more intentional with my devices. Most evenings I am tired and prefer scrolling which makes me feel guilty. Now I try to read or watch a video on at least one topic of interest. That makes me feel productive, and then I spend the rest of the evening scrolling:)

I've been trying to be more intentional about my eating- and by that, I mean I'm trying to learn to slow down and not just inhale my food. I'm still not great at it- I ate way too much the other day for dinner, and I sorely regretted it later... But I've had a few times of success where I felt at ease eating, slowly enjoying a snack, and actually felt at peace with myself while focusing on just that. :D

Ugh, this is me. I tend to just zone out and watch TV and inhale my food and I also overeat which just leads to me feeling miserable later.

Adding more joy or Gezellig into my life when it comes to friendships has been something I've been thinking about recently off and on. I'm a bit of an introvert, but with the friends I already have, I definitely feel like I can be myself around them and talk about anything with them without worrying about the repercussions that would come afterwards.

Vera....thank you for yur new video. It really encourages all that watch it to rethink how we live our life, not only in the long run, but also on a day- by -day perspective. As you say, work on all or on a few of the 7 aspects on intetional living, start small and grow...Here some examples on what I do with more intention/awareness/consion ... 1 Physically; drop the amount of alcohol consumed....right now I have a 'white month' meaning no alcohol whatsoever... 3 Spending of resources...more often I choose to walk, ride my bike, take a public transport instead of using the car, which is convenient ...but just takes resources. 4. Everyday environment ....get rid of things, skip 'nice to have' things or meories or gifts that are ugly or just not used. 7 Enough concept....I have enough of books and clothes; I can borrow books instead of buying them, I can easily find good pieces of clothes at second hand shops. I admire your way to go from the buzz word 'intentional living' ...and break it down to actions in our daily life, Your list of 7 areas ...will definitey be a 'quote of the month' in my Bullet Journal, as well as a list on my refrigerator in the kitchen! A final question...why is this way of living not a part of the education in our schools ?? Thanks again, Bengt

I'm at the place where I want to do things such as get rid of plastic because of the health reasons but it also helps the planet. I watch videos on zero waste and have made some changes in that area, but it really isn't my real goal, although i do want to help the planet anyway I can. Then I start realizing they are more interested in the zero waste part where I want my products I purchase to be more about the ingredients being safe to use. Yes, I do look at the packaging, but some of the products they buy are package free, but the ingredients are harmful, which is a no for me. I love the idea, but I'm kinda lost in what I should be researching. I like the intentional living videos and minimalism/essentialism sort of, but I have lived in the same small home for over 30 years and it is absolutely full of stuff! I don't know where to start! I know to declutter and am slowly working on it, but I guess what my whole comment is about is I'm frustrated because I feel like I'm a mix of several different things and not sure what kind of videos to watch...intentional living videos, minimalism/essentialism videos, frugal living videos, zero waste videos, healthy living videos, etc. It's too overwhelming!

@SimpleHappyZen 2 жыл бұрын

Hi there, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I'm sorry to hear you're feeling overwhelmed. Here's an idea, maybe do a youtube break for about a week? Use that time to reflect by yourself what it is you want and value. Maybe journal a little. Declutter some things here and there you notice aren't adding anything. Sometimes, more input from other people won't make things clearer, it'll just add to the noise. Start with yourself, recenter and go from there :)

Do you have any recommendations for specific books on intentional living?

@SimpleHappyZen 2 жыл бұрын

I have a recommendation, it's not specifically about intentional living, but more about slowing down and being intentional in several aspects of life. The book is called "The things you can see only when you slow down" by Haemin Sunim

I have to drink 12 glasses of water a day most days.. well my job is very active and I'm over weight. So my body needs more water than someone who is smaller. Cause we are 90% water. But at 220 lbs I have more lbs that are water than somebody who is 120 lbs.

I’d like to stop being driven by guilt. That would be very nice indeed.
