Give yourself permission to slow down and say "yes" to rest.

[@junehulton9776]

Thank you x

[@Vedulce]

I love your videos!!! I am so looking forward to to do something like your channel but in Spanish. 🙏🏻💜

[@ravishankardhamodharan5973]

"Give yourself permission to slow down", "Nature does not hurry yet everything is accomplished", "Nature is a beautiful reminder to slow down and stop trying to do it all" What a wisdom, Thanks for coining these phrases. Thank You, Thank You , Thank You

[@Mimlou]

Those trees are beautiful! Where is this located? Or where were the hiking footages shot at? All the beautiful greenery! I need to go! Love your peaceful videos!

[@tanyajohnston8262]

I so enjoy your videos and how calm they are

[@kindwords9667]

Well said…”Silence is not empty it is full of answers.” So true. I crave silence too. Life gets so loud, and it’s in the quiet that I come to know and love me unselfishly. Thanks for being you and sharing your life. Encouraging.

[@robertashaffer3950]

Thank you for another beautiful video Connie. All the scenery and your calming voice is what I needed after a busy day at work. I am going through an extremely sad & stressful time in my life now. However thanks to this event, I am experiencing what you have discussed in this vlog. I am allowing silence to learn & understand what I need to change about myself and my life in order to live an authentic life of peace, joy and love. I appreciate your channel so very much. Thank you again 🙏🏻💗

[@PeachesSkinCare]

Your words and message are simply beautiful. I wish that we could all give ourselves grace and just live a loving and kind and giving life. Stop comparing ourselves to others, stop doubting the amazing being we are and just be kind and fill ourselves so that we can touch other peoples lives and find our true purpose. You know I teach beauty and aging naturally. I only mention this because if we as women would stop being so obsessed with chasing youth with the ridiculous standard set for us and accept the beauty in aging, we would have so much more time to do things that matter. We would have so much more time to give our best selves to the ones around us. We would learn to love ourselves and give ourselves grace. Loved this. Blessings to you and everyone here 🙌🏻🍑🧡Lisa

[@ConnieRiet]

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us!

@@ConnieRiet 🙌🏻🍑🧡 Thank you for allowing me too

[@gillianm9367]

Thank you for another beautiful video Connie, and also for the advice you kindly sent me in a reply recently- it was very helpful 💗 Nothing beats connecting with nature, I find. I am lucky to live near some beautiful gardens where I often visit to slow down and refresh my weary mind. My visit a few days ago helped remind me that stressing over things which I have no control is counterproductive. Instead I focused on everything I feel grateful for and felt a huge weight lift from my shoulders. Despite going through a very difficult and trying time, I am trying to stay in a positive frame of mind 🦋💕

[@SaraX2024]

100%. As a former workaholic, I have learned this lesson very well. Thanks for this video.

[@dawnbarber7980]

As another introvert, thank you for the permission of accepting the needed quiet and inner peaceful restoration while being amongst nature and away the technological distractions.

[@pattiries]

I just love the scenery in this video! I live in SoFlorida and crave forests and mountains. Beautiful and calming. 🙏🏻

[@khill2635]

Watching your video has made me aware of my own business and the need to slow down. Thank you for your inspiration. Such a beautiful place for mindfulness.

[@lindah1878]

Thank you I already feel calmer after watching your video!

[@andeebee2530]

Beautiful video 🥰

[@genabrown8740]

Beautiful video! Great reminders and ideas of how to slow down. I love your statement "Silence is not still, it's full of answers. " That really hit home with me. Thru meditation I have been able to look so deeply into my thoughts and found answers within me. Silence is truly a gift!💕🧘‍♂️🦋

[@lisaschauer6208]

Hi Connie ~ I feel like you are a kindred spirit that I haven’t met yet. I appreciate your encouraging words and ideas of how to slow down and take care of ourselves in order to be our best. I love Brene Brown and have some of her quotes saved in my notes 📝 to refer to on busy days. Thank you for taking time to share.🦋

[@tkikpar4882]

I am getting “The Sound Of Music” vibes with this one! 😄 I love this channel!! 👏 It grounds me. ❤

[@junehulton9776]

Just your voice is a form of relaxation... You speak softly gentle.and yes we are always trying to get to places here there and everywhere... I lost my big sister in March..cancer 35 days after being told... I try at least 10 minutes if not more to hold as many thoughts of wonderful times we had together... And how to try and enjoy life as much as possible. X thank you for sharing

[@jeffj318]

Thank you, Connie. Your video and voice are so calming. It is truly a Zen moment. ❤

[@emlyharvey78]

I love your channel

[@treasureslayer3049]

Thanks for this video I really needed it. I’m non stop running in everything I do and it’s catching up with me. I’m going to be intentional about learning to slow down and enjoy life that passes so quickly

[@blancaalvarez1377]

Connie, Always helpful and calming watching your videos make me feel, like there is always a way to conquer my challenges. I have anxiety and creating that self care is very important. I notice my anxiety increasing when I realize all I have to do. My husband has health limitations and is going to have a cervical epidural today. He’s been suffering with pain for almost 2 months. So I’m there for him as much as he’s always there for me when I have my own challenges, but I feel I can’t cope with more stress and fear of what ifs . So hopefully I can create some space and time to calm down as I need to be ready and present for what the day brings. Thank you!!❤️

[@AR-vh9vw]

Excellent video. i am a man in a fast corporate life but want to slow down as well, since its affecting my health as i grow older. (from Pakistan)

[@traceyryan7695]

You described me now when you talked about racing mind and running around in chais getting nothing done. I have become aware and see how i was wasting away in hopelessness rather than practicing wuse mind and mindfulness. Self care can feel like climbing Mt Everest bc I had become so depressed i could barely.move or so my mind was telling me.. Mindfulness helps me and slowing down enriches all life's moments thus making me happier and more fulfilled. Its the only way and i thank you for your inspiring story.

[@aujkalenic4203]

[@BeFabWithGab]

I love your content in all aspects. I keep listening to this video as it is so calming. I wish I lived where you live❤️ thank you and know your efforts are greatly appreciated 🙏

[@rosepetal9748]

I feel like I’m always hurried. This was a wonderful reminder of how slowing down will make a bigger impact. Would you mind sharing the first lake you were at? This looks like the most perfect space for calm. I live in Colorado and husband and I are looking for a place to drive to. Much appreciated 🙏

[@ConnieRiet]

Tony Grove Lake, on the border of Utah and Idaho. It's a beautiful lake with tons of hiking trails.

[@rosepetal9748]

Thank you!💗

[@marissaclaridge7627]

[@funbucket1246]

Love your videos, very relaxing, just wondering where are these beautiful scenes?

[@thom-phebbyngomane4864]

Hi connie. Do you offer one on one session on slow living?

[@thaidelight6796]

I watches your video time after time almost everyday, make me feel peaceful.Thank you 🤍

[@Amor_fati123]

These videos are really good and calming, thanks for the uploads.

[@ConnieRiet]

You're very welcome!

[@gloval5187]

I appreciate your videos. Thank you

[@ConnieRiet]

Glad you like them!

[@myheartsdesire643]

Hi Connie...this is my second video of yours I have watched while I am waking up and getting ready to start my day. Boy do I ever relate to the very first part of this video. Just a few months ago I decided to slow down and make some changes in my life as I declutter and move more towards minimalism. You are sooo right...everything in nature DOES get done and is very peaceful and calm. The native american folks say to be still and listen , "there are messages in the wind." I found this to be true many years ago. Ty for this video to help me on my way today.~Jodi

[@francescagandhali]

Wow this is such a beautiful video. Thank you for creating it and sharing it with us. Much Love and blessings 😇

[@cathypugh9519]

Connie, I want to thank you for your KZbin videos. I am also a mother of 3 an in my 50s. Your channel came into my life at the perfect time, as I am trying to make self care a priority. I have been meditating for a year now and have just recently added your meditations into my routine. Please know that you are making a difference💕

[@jennyfulcher8035]

Thanks for your wonderful tips on how to slow down in a busy world! I'm trying to pace myself better at the office and not feel so pressured to accomplish everything so quickly. Fortunately I have a supportive supervisor who has provided me with a better way to meet my work goals. I try to balance out my day with walks and bird watching, as well as reading and listening to soothing music and natural sounds on KZbin. Jenny

[@lindaroberts2282]

So beautiful and powerful!😊

[@sudhapk1280]

Yes connie silence is not empty....what a beautiful vlog..thank u love from kerala,India

[@kishkindhaa]

This is the premise of Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma! Which is not a religion, but the science of life! Dhyana or meditation is the highest pursuit of one's life! Love the video Connie 🙂

[@ConnieRiet]

Thank you for sharing insight and educating us on other valuable ways of living!

[@keithlomas6107]

Just living there must be very therapeutic.

[@ConnieRiet]

Yes, nature soothes my soul.

[@nataliemarchiori1844]

When I want to relax and slow my thinking I watch a Connie Riet video. It is an immediate de stress activity.

[@ConnieRiet]

AWE! You are so kind. Thanks

[@melilifabulosa5505]

I wondered why I tended to sit in my car a few minutes before jumping to get out and do more. it's just my system telling me to slow down.

[@geethamenathil979]

Hi Connie I'm a workaholic Thank you so much for your motivational speech Kerala India Thiruvananthapuram 😊😊

[@ichoosejoy2712]

I struggle with slow living not because of my brain but due to working. Every job wants you to do different things at once and as fast as possible. I want to live slowly as I am a empath with anxiety but how can I in such a fast paced hustle culture?

[@ConnieRiet]

I think that many people feel as you do. Our society, culture, and work are running at 100 mph everyday. What a wonderful gift you have as an empath! I believe empaths are the key to making the world a kinder place. Begin with having compassion and empathy for yourself. Treating yourself with kindness and giving yourself what you need to live a peaceful life. There will always be 100 things pulling us many different directions. Finding peace within (if only in small intervals) through meditation, sitting outside, breathing deeply, listening to music. Sending you happiness & peace

Is that CO? It’s so pretty 😍

[@mathews2088]

Isn’t some of the rushing due to kids activities? I’m my life it’s been 100% minus some busy work times

[@Fulfill_Your_Potential]

I'm really getting interested in slow living. How do you fulfill your need for purpose? Being a mother? Helping with mental health by making these videos?

[@WohiHaq]

It’s like a roller coaster ride, how do you earn money for living a calm life in this world ?
