How to Start Living Slowly TODAY! 10 Slow Living Habits To Find Peace

[@ichoosejoy2712]

A great way of being mindful and having full focus on something is to shut out certain senses and focus on one sense. E.g. actively listening to music: Listening to music through headphones while lying on your bed and closing your eyes so it's just you and the music. It's amazing to shut your eyes, shut out all distractions and listen so carefully to every note of the music. This is especially effective and emotional with classical music and opera. Thinking of music as an experience rather than a distraction is so crucial. Another example would be closing your eyes from time to time when eating, then your whole focus is on your taste.

Gratitude is the essence of life. Thank you for your wisdom and sharing it with us.

[@Lovejoypeace69]

I enjoy your channel do much! Please continue to share with us about slowing down.

[@helenawoods]

I will! :)

[@barbcrowell2583]

I love the the idea of changing our words. The correct wording can be so important. It’s incredible how positive one can make a sentence or direction just by changing the wording. Thanks for that. I will make sure to pay attention

[@user-oo6qy6eg3l]

Thanks a million)You've motivated me to understand the meaning of this world. Now after watching this video I'm gonna study.And I will appreciate the things that surround me.Also I like observing other people on the street. It's really good and calming. Thank you,dear🥰

[@lorettam3432]

I love how you always wear the most beautiful and vibrant colours!!!

[@helenawoods]

aw yay!! 🌻Vibrant colors make an environment so much fun! I DESPERATELY want to paint this white wall in the bedroom but we're renting and it's only a seasonal rental 😭

[@mansibhagdeo1679]

Love the phrase " Amore fati ". As an astrologer , bringing this phrase that I always live by into my vocabulary

[@user-fo5sm1pv6q]

The best channel on youtube

[@helenawoods]

[@ABrigitteM]

[@ekparis7331]

Great ! Thank you

[@safinahussain555]

I love your eyes ❤

[@vijaysinghdesimone2337]

Helena, You are an absolute delight o watch and I so look forward to your updates on youtube. Just wanted you to know that your journey in slow living will make a massive difference in the lives of people who live in America. I am emigrated here 43yrs from a sml. country (formerly British) and am so pleased that after marrying a nice person from Bklyn, NY, I still hold onto the idealism I grew up with which has molded me into a somewhat decent human being. It's all about perspective, contentment, humility and kindness. You've got it all going in the right direction and having a partner along the journey who is on board with these positive changes in one's life makes for an easier transition. May your light always shine oh sooo bright

[@dieboervroumariette]

"Appreciate the things you have!" Love it - Thank you. Needed that reminder today. 💜

[@dianamoldovanu1141]

[@emilyjean4454]

The fact that you pour your heart out in every video is so special you are such a beautiful soul that is deeply appreciated❤️

[@rebeccal.672]

Both types of videos are great. When my daughter was little she helped me to be a big kid again and I haven't stopped doing my best to see things again for the first time and be in aww of the little things.

[@pepsicolla123]

I'm really vibing while watching this video 😊 . Thanks, Helena. My Dutch colleague really taught me a valuable lesson. It's just a simple going for a stroll every day. It really helps to refresh yourself.

[@emmanuellegd4515]

I love your energy and your enthousiasm. Go on, be what you are and enjoy your French life

[@helenawoods]

thank you :)

[@jackbartoszek7208]

I will be looking forward to that new video on the way we talk/language. I can really see how this changes your mindset. I try to say "I get to" more often instead of "I have to or need to" it definitely makes a difference. Thank you for the inspiration. Jackie :)

[@camillaberg6618]

You make me feel happy, calm and energized all at the same time. 🙏 Love from Camilla in Sweden 🤗❤

You are such a loving gift to this world- “Generators of Consciousnesses!

[@slowandsimplelivingdiaries]

I really enjoyed the video and appreciate these simple but meaningful tips on how to live a simpler life. I have a good friend of mine who does exactly what you brought up - when in a park he always goes out of his way to touch a tree and to connect with nature. I started doing the same after seeing it. It really does help and over the years I found that it makes a big difference in how I feel and my stress level. Thank you for another wonderful video!

[@moreynolds9870]

"If you want to know the secret to the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration." - Nikola Tesla. The Law of One is what I sensed you wanted to say, and I am you and you are me, manifesting our own reality with our free will. These are exciting times for the spiritual awakening so many of us are living right now. There is no past or future. There is only now, so why not consider "following the light on a trail and be led" or, in other words, stop resisting the flow and know thyself. The answers we all seek are inside of us. As within, so without, as above, so below, as with the soul, so is the universe - Hermetic Principle. We are pure consciousness living a temporary existing to "learn" and experience duality. We will all choose every day when we rise to serve the self or, serve mankind. We are co-creators with God on our beloved Gaia and we can manifest a beautiful world, together, as one. WWG1WGA

[@ichoosejoy2712]

Another, maybe strange, but wonderful idea is from the movie 'Last Christmas'. Look up. One of the characters in the movie explained that when people go for a walk they always look at eye level and miss so many things. E.g. look up at the sky and clouds through the leaves of the trees (one of my favourite things to do), look up at some of the details near the rooves of old buildings.

[@sofsoryan]

This is amazing! Thank you 🙏 💖

[@jeanniedibble907]

Love your sweater.

[@helenawoods]

thanks!! :)

[@msguinevere3702]

Love it!

[@rcdriver107]

Our society does not want us to appreciate what we have. Rather, our society truly wants us to pursue things mindlessly and recklessly. That is why people in our society are so drowned in deep debt and take everything for granted. Being super busy with no rest is one of the big status symbols in our society. Our society is never laid back at all. And also never easy going at all. Our society is mainly about glorified status symbols and keeping up with the Joneses. Friends that care about status symbols are NOT really friends in the first place. Our society is recklessly and ruthlessly fast paced without regards to anything at all times. Slow living is never a thing in our society, but doing slow living is certainly a good thing - in particular for introverts. Slow living is to be well appreciated upon. Laid back settings is always worth living for.

[@everythingduchess]

Aside from the awesome content as always can you please source your lipstick???? love that pink on you so much!

[@helenawoods]

ah yes! It's MAC! I have three colors: Fall in Love (neon pink), Heroine (deep purple) and Flat Out Fabulous (the lipstick I have on in the video!)

[@everythingduchess]

Her eyes are really pretty, aren't they?

[@MarsInterplanetaryEngineering]

[@happytraveller8953]

Hey Ms. Helena, out of curiosity, are you a Buddhist? So many of your wisdom sayings seem to follow that path. Namaste!

[@helenawoods]

I don't identify with any religion but Buddhism is definitely the one I most feel closely connected to. :) I took an Eastern Religious Thought class in college and have read a lot on Buddhism since!

[@luciejean1]

One certain way of doing what you suggest more easily is to learn to meditate on a regular basis.

[@helenawoods]

for sure

[@jsavannah123]

How much are your consultation appointments?

[@helenawoods]

it's on my website!

[@veseladusa72]

Do you smile so nicely even if your teeth hurt?

[@helenawoods]

my teeth don't hurt. If they do, it's time to make a dentist appt.

[@patriziasokolic4927]

💛🌎💥

[@aaramse4329]

could you please take down speed when talking. It is very stressful for me to listen to you, when you talk so quickly. Especially while you wanna slow down and I heart that you also are able of speaking in slower speed! thanx!

[@helenawoods]

nope, I will speak how I naturally speak :)

[@jessieswritingden115]

@aaramse4329 videos on KZbin can be slowed down.

[@MB-zy4cm]

Mmmm...not really real life...I can whisper to the trees all I want but I need to pay my bills and my bank balance has no golden light hitting it 😂😂😂!!

[@helenawoods]

haha! This made me laugh out loud 😂
