Lana's Sunday uploads is like church to me. 😢

[@doantrang.12]

*the intro

[@timbrown9731]

American here, I do not wear shoes to bed. In fact when I get home the first thing I do is takeoff my shoes and sometimes use my inside slippers….

[@iuliiakoliadina4334]

Niksen sounds pretty much like Italian DOLCE FAR NIENTE. Love it!

[@juzaink8515]

Omg... Hearing lana speak in swedish was so nice. Young Royals is one my favorite series of all time and seeing someone speak swedish always fascinates me. Something about this language is so kind and yet so assertive. Please make videos in Swedish 🥲🤍

[@petrdostal3915]

Productivity - the key is in how it is measured. It depends on how much you get for your work, and then no one can wonder why it is somehow connected with satisfaction.

[@theintentionalist]

Since Spring hit I’ve been in book mode. On my breaktime everyone is on their phone in a tiny breakroom watching the blue light I’ll pull out a paper copy of On the Road and indulge for a bit in the outdoor seating area.

[@prerza]

I work for a Swedish company and fika is one of the best things :) loved all these habit tips~!

[@fatenatiah1850]

You're so aesthetic watching this on a rainy day ❤️

[@TheWanderer03]

Lana, your videos have really been helpful. A reminder to keep going on, and keep doing what you are doing, you are amazing at it. Really got to learn some beautiful words, always pretty good to find out habits and day to day traditional little things about other culture. Diversity is what keep us sane and humane. Keep Shining ✨

[@LeeMinjoo-hl1jt]

Her features and voice are very soothing

[@ChrisGaultHealthyLiving]

I have to get to Sweden some day, it looks like such a beautiful country! Awesome discussion, Lana! There is nothing more important than health and happiness! Great healthy habits. Keep being your awesome self, Lana!

[@kerry00]

Would love to have a full Swedish video sometime!

[@randyninoflorendo289]

This is my first time again to watch your videos after following what you said to take a break in watching your videos for a month. But guess what, it's been months now, and these past few months went really great. Thank you for your videos.

[@alwayssparks9165]

Nothing more pleasant than hearing your voice, like a breezy air which sweeps and stays inside. Thank you for being you.

[@claudiusblei47]

I simply love listening to you. And i hope that Sweden soon gets through its current problems of violence and crime

[@kiraku_ni]

It's so important to cherish your daily life! That makes up most of our days, so it's necessary to feel comfortable being with oneself and to care for one's own good. Very nice vlog, I'd love to see more of the positive selfcare!

[@user-xy6hs4tw9p]

Beautiful concepts for living in calm & celebration of life. Thanks for the tips, you’re lovely inside & out.

[@Booktrovert3]

Especially the fika break sounds fantastic to me. 😍 Greetings from Austria

[@aparna44]

Interestign concept :"lagam".....sounds like the Buddhist concept of equanimity..just right /in the middle. Gratttitude which basically is the ability to appreciate things in life...and have a healthy hearty way of seeign and experiencing the world...definitely a major key for health and happiness.

[@MercurioMarco]

As an Italian I can confidently say I really like Fika 😂

[@user-tg2yu3mo3b]

And pizza? 🤣

[@emelie5515]

And we like your food 😊

[@yehehehaw]

I always love how calming your videos is, I always recommend your channel to my friends. 💓

[@LanaBlakely]

:')

[@paulinaczyrny8020]

perfect timing, tomorrow i'm traveling to stockholm for my very first abroad solo trip (also flying for the very first time), i'm super excited and can't wait to feel the city vibe

[@LanaBlakely]

hope you have a lovely stay !!

[@DarkHel]

I was waiting a video about your country Sweden!!! That day has come!!! I really like your country and i hope one day to visit these awesome and calm and relaxed places.

[@fholmx]

In terms of productivity, one thing that ironically works positively for Sweden is the fact that there is not a huge disparity in salaries, partially due to taxes becoming more punitive as you enter higher income brackets. That means that people will be less likely to climb the ranks just to have higher income (since salary does not differ that much) as they do in other countries. In other countries often people who are not intrinsically suited for higher roles (think managerial) end up staying in them due to higher incomes only, not because they enjoy it or they are particularly good at those jobs. Here in Sweden is not unusual for people to try managerial roles and step down after a while, something which would frowned upon in other countries. Thus people are more likely to choose roles that they enjoy more which increases the likelihood of them being productive since they are doing the job for the right reasons.

[@Ad_a_m.]

Every time I click on the video because of the beauty of this girl, I don't even look at the title 😅 I love you girl ❤❤

[@OnlineLifeGuide]

It looks like just living in Sweden is the secret to great health and happiness 😄 it's so calm, less populated and serene. Wish to visit someday IA.

[@ridhigain]

omg i just discovered your channel and i already love your work so much!! your voice sounds so sweet too 🫶

[@indigo_diary]

I live in Europe too and having studied geography in high-school, we've often been taught about Sweden and other Scandinavian countries as exemplary countries and case studies to look up to, so this was very interesting! If you wanted to do a longer video comparing living in LA vs Sweden, I'd be curious too

[@firefliesophia]

great idea!

[@LanaBlakely]

ooh that's a good idea :)

[@nirmalachudal4360]

Love from Nepal, Lana. Absolutely adore you and your videos!

[@eleven155]

i really love watching your videos, there so therapeutic and calming. please keep posting lana

[@LanaBlakely]

I'm glad

[@d5g6y8L1h2]

Thanks for another great video, Lana! I'm an American, and I never wear shoes to bed and I can't speak for every American but I don't think most others do either lol. When I was younger, I always wondered why they do that in movies too and I used to think something's wrong with me for not wearing shoes to bed lol but I suspect it's because it looks better on camera for the actors to be wearing shoes than just in their socks or barefoot. There are a lot of things I think filmmakers portray differently on film than in real life just because of the aesthetic they're going for. But I could never do that in real life, it sounds way too uncomfortable 😂😂

[@ellouisebadger849]

My visit to Sweden was amazing... I'd love to go back again 🥰

[@sarvaepc]

The swedish national anthem sounds so beautiful

[@JessBookgirlTV]

Now, I want to visit Sweden after seeing this video Lana, LOL! Thank you, for such a great video. Also, I am a huge reader so I might sign up for Shortform.

[@Larak003]

the music & scenery in this one ☝️🥰

[@LanaBlakely]

thank you :) x

[@ryans6442]

If you were to do a video in Swedish I’d watch it if you had English subtitles. Maybe start with a 5-10 minute video to test things out but I like your content and it might be interesting

[@Phoenixtwinflame363]

Love all your content, thank you. The word or phrase I've always used and practice that's similar to lagom is "everything in moderation." I guess it's different, when uing it in the context you mentioned. You wouldn't say moderation, when asked how much chz on pasta. But, it's the same principle that I've lived by.

[@_Anouk_]

Yesss I would love for you to make a video in Swedish! 😊

[@ambujkansal]

Really liked the concept of Lagon and Niksen...... Almost all habits I am applying daily...... These exist for almost all nations, it's just that they exist by different name ! Would love to have your video in Swedish Lana soon......just make sure you have subtitles on!

[@eustaquiozambrano2974]

Thanks for sharing girl ❤

[@yoeharper6028]

Take a Fitka during work… wow! Unimaginable in America. Just thinking about it makes me 100x happier 😅

[@joseniasguilhermesantiago4060]

LANA BLAKELY, WE ARE ONE. WE ARE THE UNIVERSE. WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

[@cheerstar12998]

Americans do not wear shoes to/in bed. My friends and I find it strange that they do that in film/TV. Some people do where shoes inside homes, but definitely not in bed. The media is weird

[@alejandrorodriguez4189]

Loved this video and the intro was 👌 thank you for this it was calming to hear

[@LanaBlakely]

thank you !!

[@alejandrorodriguez4189]

@@LanaBlakely welcome 🙏

[@CalliAMusic]

More videos like this please!

[@dogood7337]

The big difference with the past is that people ate those buns or other 'special foods' only during those holidays, or anyhow just a few times per year. Now people live in abundance (created through severe exploitation) and eat those foods on a daily basis /several times per day with dire consequences on the animals and Planet Earth.

[@BloodBathandCake]

I’m an LA native. You won’t catch us walking here as much as Stockholm because Los Angeles consists of 88 cities and spread apart through nature - that’s how large it is so it would be unreasonable to not use a car. People, however, do walk a lot, and ride bikes throughout many places in LA, just not the path you took from UCLA to Beverly Hills.

[@botortamas]

I find it amazing how you have a perfect American accent after only living in the states for 2 years. When I first started watching I thought you were American with familial ties to Sweden, and now learning your Swedish and only spent a short stint in the states, and not even as a child which is when the brain soaks up languages to this level, it’s unbelievable how you manage to sound so American. What’s your trick ?

[@giuseppeo77]

Such a great video, the scenery is fantastic! It makes me want to go and visit your beautiful country...the level of detail and effort that you put into your videos makes them really top quality 👌and so worth of my time 🙌I am curious to taste your pizza now perche in Italia certamente la pizza (e non solo) è una delizia! 😉Niksen = Dolce Far Niente in italian

[@eef8297]

Hi I am dutch, I loved your video.

[@polipavlova8101]

I just realized I might be Swedish, I'm from Bulgaria, but I live by most of those habits and I didn't even knew.

[@user-zu5jc8iw6o]

Intro is just🔥

[@LanaBlakely]

thanks

[@UncommonElevators]

I've never intentionally worn shoes to bed, but accidentally, yes. I will have to watch those commercials more closely, I've never noticed people wearing shoes to bed in those. Some Americans do take their shoes off inside the house and others don't. Sometimes it's a regional tradition though, in Alaska it is almost universal to take your shoes off at home, especially if you are visiting someone else.

[@pix_sa]

Awesome content.

One of my Swedish healthy habits is swedish pancakes. Or as you probably call them, pancakes.

please do a Swedish video with English subs! i loved watching young royals with subs and my mother is fluent- it's such a beautiful language and I'm so happy to be visiting Stockholm this summer

All of these sound very Indian. We have chai time in evenings instead of coffee though(mostly). Everything else is the same.

Hi Lana, I love your video. Can you please link me to the article about productivity you mentioned.

[@thomasthgersen]

Ģreat video lana❤

[@pritigupta843]

Lana you are a dope!!❤🤗

[@PurpleBatProjects]

I think swedes need to get over this concept that taking your shoes off inside is somehow special because I cannot think of a single place where that isn't done. I have been to many US states and many countries in europe and I have never, ever gone to someone's house and NOT taken my shoes off. I do love all the small traditions though, and of course, fika.

[@kini699]

Shoe point I agree too about Americans. We indians also don't wear shoes at home.❤

[@bolurin]

Hi Lana Blakely, perhaps the English word you are looking for to represent "Lagom" is "Moderate"? I hope this helps

[@oskyuro1326]

☕.. Fika! 😂😂😂 Vad mysigt ställe! 👍😎😎😎

[@owlinlin9134]

please recommend places to go in sweden❤

[@AwesomeRando]

The whole wearing shoes indoors or even in bed is not really a thing in America. At least not in my family and social network.

[@aspirationrecords]

Idk if its so much their habits, as much as its just they live in a great country lol. I can make as many changes as I want, I still live in the suburbs of the US. It will never compare to somewhere like North Sweden

[@rayneljred]

You're so chill lol. :)

[@Awiesenable]

Would you like to have a coffee in Lagom measure with someone in South Africa in a Fika activity? Doing "Niks" (South African word.)

I had never heard of Swedish, it's nice...which one does it look like? Does it have a common root with anyone else? For example, the Latin root of Spanish, French, Italian?... This video has awakened my interest in Sweden! By the way...what do you think about the documentary The Swedish Theory of Love? (that greatly reduced my interest in the Nordic countries)

It’s a quite accurate documentary. Swedish is similar to Norwegian, Danish and has some common words with German.

[@user-tg2yu3mo3b]

@@jozefinangelique Thank you for your response 🤔 Interesting to know 😃😃😃 Some people told me that the documentary was made by an Italian guy to keep women at home, to maintain women's slavery in domestic labor… Do you think the documentary is rooted in misogyny? It's another opinion I heard. If you don't think so, can you tell me why? I'm grateful you answered the question 🙏

[@jenlu7665]
