I’ve been trying the ⏰ *5 SECOND RULE* and it is definitely a game changer for me as a former “procrastinator.” It’s crazy how quickly our same brain that created an idea, can just as quickly destroy it and get in the way of us ACTING on that idea. 🤯 A mantra that helps me snap out of that is, “ *Get out of your head, & into your body.* “ Thanks for always sharing such great tips, Sophie! 💚🙏🏾

[@MalamaLife]

Yes!! I'm so happy you can relate. Very helpful for procrastinators :) now anytime I have a thought, I just take action.

I'm an INFJ too. 😊 Sophie, apparently, your videos attract a lot of us, which is amazing considering that we're a rare personality type.

[@ezoliveros5891]

Good morning. You mentioned that for a while you were not sure if you should start your KZbin channel. You were concerned with failure. You were afraid of failure. Know that people like me are so very happy you did. Your thoughts and insights definitely help people like me plot those points in our future. Love ourselves. Remember who we once were and traded off because of the journey life was taking us through. Thank you for helping us be vulnerable, accept where we have been, and look towards the future with endless possibility. Where we are in the driver seat.

[@asyeldesroses]

I am also an INFJ ! 😄 It's so rare to find another person with this type aha ! I loved this video, your content is always so inspirational and relaxing, thank you! 🌞🌻

[@becauseitsisa9818]

The 5 second rule is one of the things that helps me to set my day; love this video Sophie.💕 I want to learn more plant base dishes in the future,the only time Arvin and I eat fish is when we catch it ourselves.*

I love this. Tomorrow is my 25th birthday and I have decided not to drink for the entire year of 2022. I want to build out my van home, work in film and tv and live life to the fullest. Life is too beautiful to be distracted from it with alcohol.

[@figmodaddy2996]

Yes, I am an INFJ, as well. Your choice of words in these presentations attracted me as I could sense your caring, teaching, perfectionism, and genuine concern for others. I have learned, as you have, that our challenging childhood was the learning ground we needed to become what we are today. My heart wishes you health, happiness and more great expectations. Along your way, be careful. Narcissists love us.

[@sunflower1918]

Sophie I just wanna thank you for your last video of decluttering. I said I was gonna declutter for the new year and I did it! I now have multiple bags in the garage waiting to be donated. Thank you for your inspiration. For the new year of 2022, the change I’m gonna make is to be more minimal! Own less stuff. Also, workout more. I wanna be healthy physically and mentally

[@MalamaLife]

I'm so happy yo hear that. I bet it felt amazing 😍 I hope you join my low buy challenge

Since I started watching you last year. It became really clear to me and my husband what we really want in life. You are very inspiring Sophie with all the lessons and learning you have been sharing with us. At this moment our debts are all paid in full just waiting for spring to come and we will be moving to our own offgrid home self-sufficient cabin I can't wait. Thank you

Hi Malama, I enjoyed your videos very much. I am INFJ too~ I have difficulty in journaling too. So starting this year, I am combining journaling with my tarot routine at night time, when I reflected my days with the tarot cards that i have pulled in the morning. Small changes are important. I have my morning, evening fitness and night time routine. They are simple but need discipline to turn them into habits. Step out for my dream is hard for me. It will be my main focus this year. I will do my best to achieve my dream step by step even though I might be slow.

[@MalamaLife]

I love that you're taking your time to achieve your goals :) you're right! there is no rush. Wishing you all the best

Good vid Malama! I always think; 1 is better than 0. I might suck when I start (even fail), but that is better than nothing. At least, I will do something. Good luck to everyone on 2022!

[@miniminibudget7795]

In the past I've said that I'm gonna get in better shape for the summer or study and aim for a big career or move or buy a dream car.. and so on. But now I just couldn't care less about those stuff. This year all I'm gonna do is to live a minimalistic, zero waste and slow living life. Focus on me and my mental health. Life. Not money and material stuff. Thanks Sophie for inspiring me and many others around the world!

[@MalamaLife]

I love that so much! this is also my goal:)

[@aghoghoedjemre1151]

Thank u so much for this🥰

[@PeachesSkinCare]

I absolutely love this. I think we don’t realize the power that we have. Not to mention me and what I do, but it’s such a great example. A few month ago a client reached out to me so discouraged and so lacking any confidence, she trusted me and got rid of her old habits and started new ones that I suggested, ( plant based, a very strict cleaning process)and in less than a month the changes were miraculous or at least incredible ( I actually put up a Before&After about a week ago). She said she never thought she could feel this good about herself and it really motivated her to change other things. My point is NEVER give up and get out of your own way. Have faith in someone you admire or in a master in what you need. Keep your environment peaceful and know that today really is the beginning of the rest of your life. Happy New Year M and everyone here. I hope it is the beginning of the very best years of your life!🙌🏻🍑🧡Lisa

Hi Sophie! I wish you a happy new year! Thanks for starting the new year with such great tips. I think tip number 7 is the most important one: choose what makes you happy. I often made wrong decisions because I couldn't say no to other people. It's hard and I'm still struggling with saying no, but it's getting better.

[@MalamaLife]

Happy new year! #7 was huge for me too. I think if we set the right intentions, saying no will be much easier.

[@emy6008]

Thanks for the calm and peace 💛 I’ve found this thought motivating: if I want to learn a skill or pursue a goal, for sure I’d probably not be good at it in the beginning, but what about in 1 year, 3 years, 5 years or even 10 years time? Better to make all the mistakes NOW when there is little at stake 💛

Hey, thanks for another great vid! I've been doing that "5 second rule" thing, but haven't had a title for it til THIS vid. Haha! I like it, perhaps having a title for it will help me remember to keep to it. (maybe). Oooh, I went whale watching last fall, 50 miles of coast of Maine! Was WONDERFUL!! Constant breaches, pec slapping, tails out of water... also saw puffins, sharks, and seals.. SO cool! Experiences over stuff, indeed! Have a nice day! #Anole =)

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

Love the idea of spending money on experiences with family and friends rather than on material possessions. I try to relay this idea to others. Unfortunately the way the world is right now it makes it extremely difficult. In Canada we are going through some more restrictions. No more than five people per household so it makes it almost impossible to connect with others even in our homes. One of the things we love to do as so many others is to go on vacations. I would much prefer to spend my money on going away with my family than anything I could buy. Being in Canada during the winter it really decreases outdoor activities so unless you ski or enjoy outdoor sports there isn’t a whole lot to do. Our restaurants are not allowing indoor dining and as I’ve said with the cold weather no one is going to want to dine outdoors. I’m doing my best to minimalize my belongings and will focus on that as much as I can during the winter months. I pray that things will get better worldwide so that we can resume a somewhat “normal” life and start to enjoy adventures with friends and family. Thank you for this wonderful video and I wish you and your family a happy, healthy and safe new year.😊❤️🙏

[@MalamaLife]

Praying that things will get better soon. I can only imagine when it's back to normal and we're able to travel freely and spend more time with people who are close to us. Stay safe and stay warm Debbie ❤️ big hugs from Maui

The key quotes are: "If you work hard enough and assert yourself, and use your mind and imagination, you can shape the world to your desires" and "Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul". Growth is present, trusting my intuitions, not limiting thoughts, and sincere. As a youth, it is hard to see the change in the beginning, but I try to be patience of the upcoming result:)
