I have a tip that contradicts what you said a little bit, but it helps me a lot. I force myself to go dancing and to be active even when I would prefer to stay on the sofa it always makes me feel so much better when I go. And also take a vitamin D supplement. Deficiency can make you very tired and unmotivated.

I try to think that it's only three months and then it's spring again. and I read a lot on these dark gloomy days and evenings.

The white cottages are charming and so are your videos

Beautiful kind-hearted soul, thank you.

New sub, great video. You're a lovely person

Winter is depressing for me, and finding your video has made me feel hopeful for this year to be better. You made slowing down seem comforting and renewing. Thank you. New subscriber.

Thank you once again Holly for such a comforting video. I really feel it on the Party Season as because of a inner ear problem loud music, and noise cause me so much discomfort. People wrongly assume because I do not attend certain events I am miserable not the case at all. So thank you for saying do not feel obligated to go to these things. I love to just stay quite and keep away from them so your reassuring words has helped a lot. Bless you Holly ❤

Paying guests hospitality kindness

The end of the year is always very difficult for me. I am chronically depressed and the end of the year makes it even worse. Although I do love to put on the candles and cuddle up in the evening, during the day it’s so hard for me to get anything done. And because of the weather (I live in the Netherlands so weather is just as lousy as in the UK) I feel kind of trapped in the house. I haven’t been celebrating Christmas already for the last 10 years but I just do what I can do in my home. So I read a lot and try to be creative with home made cards and most of the time I have a Jigsaw puzzle on the hobby table on a separate board so that I can take it off the table when I want to craft. It is what it is and we can’t change anything about the weather or the light anyway so we just have to wait for Spring again.

Great stuff Kiddo.....❤

Oh Holly my little pajama queen..each season is meant to give us the opportunity for new experiences and when we fight against the natural flow of life I believe we can miss out on what was meant to be a wonderful thing for us and just miss the meaning completely but if you embrace what each season gives you’ll find that each one was made for a purpose and is very important for our whole life system …wintertime is a when life hibernates and has a chance to recharge and even transform kind of like a caterpillar getting ready to turn into a butterfly so there’s really no need to worry about not being productive enough because it’s not the season for that now you’ll have plenty of time for productivity when spring comes…love you my friend and thank you 🙏 for all the wonderful videos you are and always will be the best….& you know I can’t leave without saying how beautiful you look ..

I definitely struggle at this time of the year - it is the lack of light and not being out in nature as much, even thought I have taken steps to try and tackle it this year - but this week has been a struggle. I do enjoy the cozy evenings, nice PJs - curling up with a good book & taking it a bit slower.

Another lovely video 📺 to watch on these dark nights the food 🍛🍜 looks lovely 😋 .and I love the little house 🏠 thanks for your lovely video 📽💐🌹❤

What a delightful and comforting video! The food looked absolutely delicious, and your chat was so pleasant. The only thing that could have made it even cozier would be an active fireplace. Thanks for sharing!

Yesterday I visited the channel to check the new update and thought to msg you about the next video and now it's here, after a long gape By the way it's super cool

Holly :-) so good to see you again ❤ beautiful video. That pasta you made is truly a work of art! Looks so delicious, I've made pasta before but it's never looked that good lol. Winter can be hard, but where I live we've had some dry, hot, and kind of foul days which I've found unpleasant that I was almost wishing for winter again. I've always found December to be the most beautiful month, truly a time of rest, because of Christmas of course, and it's my birthday as well lol, on the 30th of December. I have learned about some of the things going on in the UK at the moment, and I have sincerely been hoping and praying you're ok. By the way, your hair looks really beautiful in this video :-)

I do enjoy this time of year..cosy nights, yummy food, going to bed early with a good book. Wrapping up well on a sunday walk, then coming home to a slow cooker dinner. By february I am ready for spring especially when the spring bulbs start poking their heads out. Lovely vlog today and the pasta looked scrumptious, i always fey my sage in a little butter until crispy so tasty.

I'm a new subscriber but can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos. You are a rare soul

This really lifted my spirits, you're the best Holly 😊

Finally most relatable and beautiful girl post one more soothing video thanks ❤

Missed your videos! So cosy and thank you Holly ❤

Do you have any tips to beat the winter blues? ⛄ I've added my speedy butternut pasta recipe to the description too! 😋

I do so wish I had a friend like you! Finally found somebody similar and like-minded! Thank you!

Doesn’t matter how many times I listen to this video, it always hits home. I love and appreciate your wisdom and encouragement. Always so nice to have such positive words and messages.💛

I love how you debunked the myths around self-love and broke down what it truly means to love yourself! Thanks for sharing this important message! 🙌✨

My sense of humor and kind heart. ♥️♥️

I love myself for my simplicity, kindness and light humour. I wish this channel grows and there are millions of Holly all around the globe. ❤

This is 100% correct👍

Loved this video as going through a painful breakup of my marriage and found your video a great comfort thanks Holly.

I've always loved being alone - even as a child. I've even had some of the wildest parties of my life at home by myself 😆

I love slow life content so much 🙂❤👌

My soul has been blessed with an endless supply of love, for my children, husband , family and the world. But to do this I need to love myself first.

Beautiful and very intelligent message Holly :-) really well thought out, wonderful analogy too. My five things that make my soul special: 1. My devotion and faithfulness to God, I know God makes all things beautiful, and breathes life into all things, including me. When I don't spend time with God, it's like everything loses it's colour, and life becomes bland. 2. My love for music, music is the soundtrack of life, I can enjoy the hardest of metal to the softest of ambient music. 3. I am incredibly generous, a quality I inherited from my dad. It always comes back to me, I saw two of my favourite metal bands Parkway Drive and I Prevail play in Sydney, only my friend I hadn't seen in 7 years, bought me those tickets before they sold out. The only thing I paid for was a fast food meal on the road to Sydney, everything else was provided for me while I was there. My friend even bought me a ride in a V8 supercar on a motorsport race track while I was there. 4. I get told all the time that I am an excellent writer, funny thing is my hand writing is actually awful, but I can type insanely fast. Someone even said I should write a book. 5. I've always treated women right, I believe in traditional values, and as a result I've always gotten along with women. I've always believed that if you want to meet the right girl, you gotta be the right guy, and you attract what you're like. Sorry this post turned out to be a lot longer than I thought it would be :-)

I have subscribed to your youtube channel your channel is very good

Thank you so much for your videos

It only takes One person to love a person for it to transform a life!

The greatest love is to lay down one’s life for another. My brothers in arms, you know what I mean. And to the great ones, God rest your souls.

Truthfully Holly, the love that you give to us , your viewers in your community, is transformational and makes a difference. Your smallest acts make a thousand ripples and the world is a better place.

I agree Holly, do not allow others to define us, but rather define ourselves by our own values and assessments

There’s a song by Joan Jett called I hate myself for loving you that always reminds me to love someone who is good for me and not someone who is bad for me, for my own sake. And this is not a selfish thing that I have to tell myself. Oh the internal conflicts!!

thank you for sharing. this is an eye opener.

Holly I have been in the gym and a trainer for a really long time and I’m very grateful and blessed to be loved by so many people…. and one of my favorite things to do is to go up to someone I’ve never met and tell them how good their form was while they were doing a exercise they been working on or I might see someone who’s been really working a lot on his arms and tell him …. Man your arms are looking great…it’s a beautiful way to break the ice and get new people that have just started going to the gym to feel comfortable and enjoy the gym and it’s made me one of the most loved people in all these gyms…thank you Holly for the wonderful video see you next week 😊

With self love is learning self respect. Not to be treated badly or even disrespectfully because you are constantly prioritising other’s feelings even if their actions are detrimental to your own.

Hey Holly ♥️ Your video is really great, I think your video is very important❤ you explained very well, you are very likeable❤ Thanks Holly ❤
