Wow 2 minutes in and your words resonate with myself completely. I feel like i have unlocked and released all the pressure on me. Material and things that bring "stature" arent as appealing anymore. Just a simple life with loved ones is all that we need. And our mental health with thank us for it.

Nice to see the work with the beehives. I remember loving to go to the Beienhuis in Wageningen when studied there. I would have moments when I felt a bit overwhelmed and down and going there would kind of lift me up again. The smell of the wax and the beautiful beehive equipment. Ik moet een keer terug, misschien bestaat het nog.

I wonder if the current self-optimisation and hustle trends are just a last gasp of this image of humanity where your worth is measured only by your productivity. And if the next step is the realisation that thanks to automation and specialisation we are actually not required to work very hard if at all to get all that we really need (food, shelter, healthcare, education and stuff like that) and still make progress scientifically and socially as a species. And if with that realisation would come a new image of humanity, a kinder one. That would be really nice.

hallo Lea , ik volg jullie nu al een aantal jaren , maar ik zie dat je worstelt met veel vragen je bent een voorbeeld ,als Vrouw en Moeder , en je bent een Filosoof, wat ik niet begrijp is dat jullie geen gemeenschap vormen , met zoveel land dit zou de werklast reduceren , en een positieve bijdrage kunnen zijn the Love for people . xxx

Omdat een gemeenschap opzetten meer stress is dan het opleverd. Misschien meer handen om te helpen, maar ook meer meningen om rekening me te houden. Ik heb genoeg gelezen over "intentional communities" om te weten dat het op de lange termijn bijna nooit werkt. We steken liever energie in goede buren zijn (maar die zie je niet in de videos)

Thank you so much for this video that echoes so many of my beliefs, concerns, and opinions. Never forget to take credit for the fact that you DID something!⭐️ My husband and I had so many plans before we had an unexpected baby. Then, our brains engaged all the fear gears. We must buy a house. Near a good school. We must work harder.... It was only when we retired that we could go back to our dreams, but many never get to that age or have the health to pursue them! Your message us excellent. Take time to enjoy life as much as you can, while you can. Good luck to you . I send wishes that you succeed in your endeavours to slow down and rest. You are a terrific example to us all❤❤❤🎉

A truely profound and personal vlog. Appreciate it. I find myself on the same shoes when I'm doing 'mundane' things like gardeing. Maybe we are too over-educated to the degree that we need to intelelctualize everything that our ancesntors were taken for granted as usual task for human beings? Also, when you talked about 'The Protestant Ethic' and relate that to the spirit of Capitalism, I guessed that you should have studied sociology, or social anthropology, so you know the famous work by Max Weber. Isn't it?

Please be good to yourself. You guys rock, in every single sense! You provide so much useful information and inspire me a lot in terms of looking at life from a completely different angle - and especially here on KZfaq where most of the contents is pretty useless and overhyped. Also the narrative of most of the videos in the file of Portuguese countryside DIY off grid or semi-off grid don't leave that much mind space for the viewer. You are one of the few that sensibly takes a slower pace and in doing that you give more space for a viewer's imagination and own reflection upon things. Thank you so much and keep doing what you are doing!

sorry hoor, maar ik erger me al een tijd .je hebt de luxe gehad om af te studeren, een man, een prachtig stuk land in portugal, twee kinderen en ouders die jullie ondersteunen, en nog steeds een burn-out? van wat, plantjes in de grond stoppen ?? kijk naar de ellende van miljoenen mensen die het zoveel moeilijker hebben en prijs jezelf gelukkig !!

Oeps, het lijkt er op dat je iets gedeelt hebt wat eigenlijk voor jezelf was! Volgende keer als je een comment plaats kan je beter eerst een paar vragen stellen: ken ik deze persoon? Weet ik alle omstandigheden? Zou ik dit ook in het echt tegen iemand zeggen? Maar nu is mijn vraag aan jou wel, als ik een saaie kantoorbaan zou hebben en daar een burn-out zou krijgen, zou dat dan wel "tellen"?

Understanding what you need is a large part of the treatment, so many people are trapped in a loop and at 56 I was one of them. In the last 3 years I have been going backwards, less stuff, less buying, less work (hardest to do) and soon moving to Portugal myself to do even less and I've ended up with so much more. I wish you every success in everything and especially with yourself. I love watching your videos especially the veggie garden.

Thank you Leah, your vids are gentle and relaxing so all I have todo is watch and listen to be able to relax, I think that as I get older relaxing becomes second nature because you are no longer capable of running around and worrying if this or that doesn't get done, I have worked since I was 16, I retired at 60 and now my back prevents me from doing all the things I want but I've learnt to accept this, don't over work your back when you're young or your body will turn on you later I hope you and your family are well and happy, bye for now xxx🥰😘👍👍🙏🙏

They are having an ideal childhood learning in a calm and loving environment. Thos will assist them in growing up to cope in an uncertain world. You and Martin are doing an amazing job. Your family has so much that money can't buy.

I liked the previous title: "Why are we rushing through life". I remember you saying you are dyslexic some time ago (a form of neurodivergence). Many neurodivergent people feel the way you do about society. We just see the world in a different way, and the way society is constructed, with values that often do not correspond to our standards, often fails our expectations. People who choose a simple life are very often neurodivergent. I find that the intellectual development is very much, if not more possible, living this kind of life. There are many opportunities to delve into science of all things while living close to nature and doing things yourself. Congratulations on your project and your garden. It has grown so much.

So great for you to share. Yes since the beginning we been busy surviving. But somewhere along the way we got lost. Very lost. At least here in the USA. I’m from Peru living here has always compering my old simple live. And now with lots of “I” things. I find myself searching for simple things. Not noisy. Shiny of looking for approval. I’m finally there after a decade. I lost years on that influential live. ( what a waste) but proud to have come out of that whirlpool. Hope the best for you all. I send strong waves of energy to you all. And yes. A true. THANK YOU. !!!!

Deprogramming yourself from the mental prison we are held in/under will feel like mental illness I suppose ,with everybody trapped in the system telling you that you are mad to think the way you do. Your maybe just "ahead of the game" and it's always a hard slog to be a front runner in a philosophical break away. Try Plato's allegory of the Cave. Stay strong as you clearly come across that way.🤛

You know what happiness is? Sipping beer with your friends, while watching the overgrown hedge, the trailer that needs anti rust paint, the rotten plank in the deck and putting it all aside. The world will do perfectly fine, without me or you around to manage it. We can only slightly control about five square meters around us. The rest is wilderness for which we have no REAL responsibility. Trillions of variables move every second you take a breath. Life is an overwhelming experience that smashes one around like wild water does. But wild and tame waters follow the path of least resistance. And maybe we should be more like water and go with the flow. Have you ever read Alan Watts? Harmony is doing as little as possible.

@@ourportuguesehomestead Thank you for telling me. Now I can understand how hard your present life is on your mental health. You were not interested as much in subjects that included learning to observe and experiment with your surroundings like I did. But you have switched to a life that will reward using your intellect to try to solve the puzzle of how to better manage the land you have purchased than those who once owned it did. You have chosen a very tough question to solve never forget that and it is a valuable question to solve.

I enjoy seeing your garden. I suggest that you keep some of your beans for seed to see how much better they do than the seed you import. You will not know unless you try. If I were having trouble with cucumbers getting too hot I would stick some bushy branches in the dirt where it would give them some light shade at about 3 pm. I hope you have a pleasant summer.

@eartecathy7378 8 күн бұрын
@@ourportuguesehomestead The big reason to plant seeds from your land is because plants change , both randomly and to adapt to their surroundings. Developing a strain of plant better matched to your conditions is done this way and the pay off is a strain that gives you a bigger amount of food to eat or a better quality of food. It is most important to keep seeds of your plants that were grown from seeds that came from further away and also from the plants that are having trouble preforming. Solving this puzzle is demanding of your intellect, gardening is not a simple thing. About the protestant work ethic and mental health: I was taught that God made humans for the purpose of showing joy in his creations. When I have lost someone I love it has been very difficult for me to feel joy but it is why I was made and is the very best way to praise God.
