[@auroras.2015]

Thanks!!

[@lavanyasubramonian2435]

I really appreciate the time you took to put this list

[@reallifepsych3309]

The older I get, the more I realize that finding joy should be the main focus in my life.

[@meghanlivingstone]

I so agree. ❤️

[@anitaprudnikow2088]

Ya i feel the same (turning 31 this year)

[@melissacastro1112]

Totally agree with you, regards

[@sushreeshashwata]

Yesss and i wonder why we weren't told this earlier or it's better this way when you get here through your own journey and realisation!

[@luckygrewal4421]

Yes .........

[@donnaharwood2240]

Love this, you’re fun! I like this idea of a joy list. I’m gonna get on it tonight with my journal. Sunrises are amazing joy ! I’ve been slowing down and thinking of joy gives me lotsa hope. Tky

[@joellechiara]

social media can really be a killer for me. It's been hard to not focus on what friends or others have (mostly houses rather than apartments)...and even though I love my little place, it's hard to not compare. xoxo

[@marybethlongstreth186]

Sunset....wrapping up the day. I love the stars, I take my dogs out at night and just love the sky! Appreciate the small things everyday.

[@BendnStretchwithSue]

Loved listening to you speak about joy. I completely agree that finding joy is vital to our well being 😊

[@IshaSharma11]

So true, specially in life where we all run so fast

[@emma.l1224]

Love sunrise..it makes me feel better❤️❤️❤️

[@sarahd3307]

Sunset ! It's relaxing for me

[@emily-sharingChrist]

The sunset for sure! It means the day is winding down, and so can I! The night is the time that I write and just relax! The best time of day for me for sure!

[@meghanlivingstone]

That's so true - sunsets really do help to remind us it's time to wind down ❤️

[@thesmartfoodie4304]

Lots of great ideas! Thanks for sharing Meghan 😊

[@mariafrancescademaddis2560]

I love both sunrises and sunsets. I live in a region in southern Italy called Calabria: the sun rises on the Jonian sea and sets on the Tyrrhenian sea, 30 minutes away. You can catch both on the same day, which is amazing - what a simple joy!

[@kobrien7945]

Sounds beautiful

[@artcraftmathcareenjoylearn1434]

Thanks so much Meghan, I am enjoying your video.☺️

[@sushreeshashwata]

A hundred percent agree on houseplants. I got some in lockdown. The joy of seeing a new leaf curling up has been unmatched.

[@meghanlivingstone]

RIGHT?!?! The new baby leaves are so exciting

[@debiulmer3672]

After being in the deep freeze here in Houston Tx this past 5 days - I will really appreciated the mundane daily things like - running water, a quick trip to the grocery store and warm sunshine. Love your channel.

[@jasmincastillo8686]

Both sunrises and sunsets are beautiful! But my apartment faces west so I am more often catching the sunsets(:

[@Ambs2023]

Thank you for always approaching sponsorships with simplicity and grace. Sponsorships in your videos never come across as pushy, and I'm grateful for it. Sunrise person here! Oh and I'd love to see more tips on becoming a calm, graceful person like yourself! I think all of your content taps into this! But maybe you could approach it more from an interpersonal standpoint / communication / relationships? You're very inspiring by nature of your calming presence. With love! -Amber

[@meghanlivingstone]

Hey Amber! Thanks so much for your comment (and feedback). That's a great video concept and I"ll keep that in mind :)

[@kathywinstead7460]

I would suggest a Chinese evergreen for low maintenance and lovely display.

[@jmbliving]

I favor the sunrises too. Love the joy list idea! A part of my evening routine is to write down my best win for the day, beauty I noticed and what gave me joy. Really helps me for ending the day on a note that makes me feel good inside. Great video - thank you for sharing these thoughts!

[@cheyenneduncan4544]

Where did you purchase the beautiful spoons and what kind of wood are they? Also any other recommendations from viewers welcome. Thank you so much!

[@LaVigneNaturalSkincare]

How sweet!, great tips, Meghan

[@hol8642]

On top of your nutrition expertise, you’re a wonderful video editor!

[@meghanlivingstone]

Aw thank you SO MUCH!!

[@jillianalden8040]

Thank you!! Meghan, this is just what I needed, to re focus on my own life, and bringing things into perspective again.

[@ginakaras8792]

I’m a sunset person. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos.

[@charlenebrissette3348]

I love just laying under the stars after watching a beautiful sunset.

[@sushreeshashwata]

Sunsets are one of the bestest things ever

[@whiteblack6100]

Hi! I'm from Morocco and I'm a big fan of your work. Thank you so much for making my (and other people's) life simpler and more beautiful.

[@octoberfirefly]

Yay! You’re back!! 😍🥰 Your videos are “JOY”! :) 💛 🤗💕☀️

[@melciadsouza8538]

True

[@marleenjones407]

Very inspiring and what I needed to hear

[@minerva2953]

Hi Meghan! Love this video. For me the sunset is like an epiphany, the colours are so amazing my mind gets so much joy that I cannot think of anything else and I am in the present moment🌄

[@DiningWithTara]

Yes! Love all these ideas! 💜

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Thanks Meghan. Lately I have been finding joy in the little things❤

[@coco85949]

You are such a lovely person, Meghan ! Thank you very much for always spreading good vibes and positivity ❣You conjured a smile in my face😊. Up to now I definitely was a sunset person but by getting older I like getting up earlier 😉 .... might help to see some beautiful sunrises soon. Lots of love from germany 🙋‍♀️👋

[@sikha4025]

this is sooo beautiful, I appreciate your work, Loads of love ❤️

[@anitaino]

One of the things I look forward to are your videos..you are so real and relatable..blessings

[@msguinevere3702]

A beautiful list!

[@Aueen]

Great video! So inspiring and helpful, thank you!

[@candypizzoferrato4109]

Sunrise and sunset are both beautiful but, if I had to choose, I am more of a riser.

[@EowynLis]

I definitely love the sunrise ☀️🌺

[@oxnicoleox3]

Something I recently realized I need to work on is to be okay with things I don’t like and let it go. I realized I experience food guilt and force myself to eat certain foods “because they’re healthy” and it took a lot of joy away from me. Food wasn’t enjoyable to me due to my rules surrounding it.

[@meghanlivingstone]

I'm so glad to hear you've been working on this! Joy in our food experiences is such an important part of life ❤️

[@sarahwebster9817]

Love you and your beautiful videos Meghan ❤

[@sharonsharing3313]

I love you style, your sharing, your mindfulness living! Thank you!

[@rebeccal.672]

Thanks for sharing these. I find joy in laughter, music, and nature ( except for now. ..nature is snowy/freezing rain not my personal faves).

[@eugeniaperez6105]

Beautiful & helpful video. Thank you 🙂

[@pearlbotts]

this is so pure i love

[@a.howell78]

Great idea--- Joy List... Thanks!

[@JessicaTang9202019]

Thank you so much Meghan love you’re ideas and very helpful for everybody specially to myself.Watching sunrise was really a great feeling because it so beautiful.🥰

[@learnenglishandalotmore8180]

Your voice, home and you give me positivity. Thank you Meghan.

[@keepupwithliv]

I love these! I am going to incorporate more!

[@DiningWithTara]

Yes! I need to incorporate these ideas as well

[@melissacastro1112]

Hi Meghan!!, how are you doing; I love your videos, thankyou for sharing all the information that is good for our soul, lifestyle and also our body, blessings to you

truly loved the video, thank you!

[@debrastewart6714]

I love your channel ,you are beautiful to listen too very inspiring 🌟😀

[@priscillajimenez27]

I love stargazing but I'd have to say sunrises over sunsets. It's more clean and peaceful, and there's a moment when the sun is rising that I feel like I step in a moment of stillness of time, almost like another dimension, where I met the Lord. It's like stepping from one place to another, and then the earth (my time zone) finally fully awakens. It's a surreal transition

[@IshaSharma11]

In this era where everyone is running so fast and have no joy, this is much needed video to stop and enjoy ❤

[@ashnapoulose9262]

You always inspire everyone

[@ZoeMay]

Absolutely love all these thoughtful tips ♥️💗💖

[@maybe800]

What an amazing video!! And yess i am definitely also a sunrise person 🙌🏻🙌🏻💕

[@meghanlivingstone]

Aren't sunrises the best?! Such a quiet, peaceful time of day.

[@jasminnadjimova572]

Love your videos🤗🌿

[@mariatrihapsari]

Sunset 🥰

[@huiling7947]

I prefer sunrise, new day with hope, ready to conquer the world and Thanking God for His peace and comfort.

[@priscillajimenez27]

I feel like I'm in a dimension with Him during that moment

[@kavithav9977]

Love sunsets

[@kavithav9977]

Wow really good tips

Stress relief content.. Thank you❤

Hi it was a great video.. by watching your videos i get so much of good information of living a life with lots of positivity and peace and enjoy being myself...Thank u Meghan...❤

[@coffeyhouse8334]

You touched on self confidence here. Do you have any videos on self confidence or would you please consider making one? Thank you.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Hey there - I don't have any videos specifically on this topic but I think it would make a great video concept and I'll keep it in mind!

[@coffeyhouse8334]

@@meghanlivingstone Thank you Meghan

[@aninagabrielle]

I wish your videos were in a podcast too! Sometimes I’m so sleepy I just want to listen to you but there are too many ads in YT right now. I hope someday you’ll make a podcast 🥺🤍

[@meghanlivingstone]

I've thought about making a podcast! At the moment I don't have the time to do it but someday I might 😄

[@aninagabrielle]

@@meghanlivingstone looking forward to it, amazing content! 🤍

[@marinamayer6920]

Also sunrise. I can love sunsets but they also meke me feel kinda sad or something like it.

[@joemachine4714]

To zazz up the joy list you can make it a Joy Wheel. You draw a heart ❤ and encircle it with things/activities that bring you joy. From the center you draw a line to each item like spokes. 'tis a bit more inspiring than an ordinary list 🤓

[@meghanlivingstone]

I love that idea! Thank you for sharing!

[@PoojaGupta-nw1ew]

Your videos are so good ❤️❤️

[@priscillajimenez27]

Growing up in a Hispanic household, definitely grew up with the dangling plants that hang lol

Thank you for sharing your wisdom and insights glad. Well said. Will things be good and wonderful? :)

[@usmanafzal5719]

Stay blessed.

[@myname7303]

I made my joy list a long time ago, and I’ve noticed that every time that I feel lost or sad or confused and I look I that list I get my focus back on what’s important for me😊 oh and I am a sunrise person 🤗 great video, thank you 😊

[@meghanlivingstone]

I love that it's been a helpful tool for you in that way. It's nice to have a list that we can reflect on when we need it most. :)

[@UpasanaDevchoudhury]

13 th way to find joy is to watch Meghna's videos :) You have inspired me in more than one way and am so grateful for that !

[@holisticjunkie26]

This is so important 👏 💗

[@jadevanita6654]

Wow great video 😍

[@johnsonfamilynaturals]

I am going to have to say I like sunsets better, they are always so colorful here, and there is a field behind our house so we can see the whole thing, whereas where the sunrise is the woods hide most of it, although it is still really pretty!! God's creation is so beautiful!!

[@bloominglotuz]

I’m a sunset girl through and through! Our Colorado sunsets are divine. 🌄

[@meghanlivingstone]

Ohhhhhh I bet they would be - Colorado is mountainous right?

[@bloominglotuz]

@@meghanlivingstone Yes! The front range of the Rocky Mountains over here.

[@anitaprudnikow2088]

Can't really say what i am sunrise or sunset. It all depends on how my days are if i get up early or stay up later. They both give me a calming feeling

I had to downsize my plants bc I was finding NO joy in unsuccessfully protecting them from my seven cats. I only kept the plants I could safely lock away. Unfortunately, that also means I can't SMELL my plants. I'm thankful for first world problems!
