Living your full self | Stop comparing myself, self discovery and mindful habits 🪴

This week, I went back to memories of summer as I am longing for spring to come. I can feel it just around the corner and thankfully days have been warmer lately 🌼!
Today I wanted to share a bit about my journey to discover myself, overcome my fears to be more creative and become comfortable with who I am. It’s not always been easy navigating expectations and understanding what I value in life. Nowadays, living fully means prioritising what matters to me but it wasn’t always the case in the past.
You will see a few more of my routines and habits. I mainly went through some early spring preparations and last winter delicacies by baking cinnamon buns. I started propagating a few of my plants and planted some seeds for the balcony. I hope they will grow!
Thank you so much to everyone supporting and subscribing to my channel. The amount of love from everyone has been greatly appreciated and keeps me going 🧡 !
I’ve translated my subtitles in French since I am native speaker but I used an external tool to translate in other languages. I hope the quality of subtitles is decent 🙏🏻

I'm so glad you stopped delaying and finally made your youtube channel because it is bringing me and so many others a lot of peace, comfort and joy and that's what we need more of in the world!

[@quiet_tales]

That is very kind of you 💜 Thank you for your support and making me want to keep going 😊

[@greggaser7062]

Hello. I just watched your most recent video. I am an older person and i find that I’m amazed these days at the wisdom coming from young vloggers, you and others. Sharing your passions, your successes and failures is truly invaluable to many who may have lost their way or have myriad insecurities. In my early years nothing like this was available and it was so difficult. You are providing an incredible resource. Thank you!!

[@quiet_tales]

Hi Greg, thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate your message. I am glad to hear my content is helpful in any kind of way 🧡!

[@happinesss2]

ah I understand completely the whole "delay and delay until the creative urge became painfully dormant inside." What a poetic and accurate way to put it! thank you for sharing :)

[@quiet_tales]

Thank you 🫶

[@gracewithnaz]

I love how you have lots of plants, aw the cats enjoying each others company, thank you for the inspiration and beauty you share))

Thank you. Such a relaxing and beautiful video. Love the cats ❤

[@SuzyYen82]

Thank you for yet another calming and relaxing video. It has brought calm for me after a hectic and tiring day at work. Greatly appreciated ❤

[@quiet_tales]

Thank you for watching 🌼!

[@l_a_d_y_M]

Loved the message of this video ❤ I’m at that stage of life, where I’m trying to love my own company as well 😄

[@nahidkhan5941]

What an amazingly soothing video !! My daughter is a very shy girl and so I loved every word that you said !!! You sounded so learned and yet at the same time so calming and reassuring that it's ok to be the person you are !! Thank you for this beautiful video and the sharing of your deep inner thoughts !!!

[@quiet_tales]

Hello, thank you very much for your lovely words! Glad that my video could bring a bit of comfort and reassuring 🧡. Quiet and shy people have a lot to bring to the world in their own way 😊

[@nahidkhan5941]

@@quiet_tales So true !! The world is too busy labelling people and not really understanding the human being per se !!

[@702desertmom]

Love this video! Thanks for the creative reminder it’s so important to have this outlet in our lives no matter what your creativity is 😊

[@quiet_tales]

I completely agree! It feels wonderful to have something to explore for yourself outside of the daily job 🌼 Thank you for watching

[@justnoticing]

I really enjoy watching your videos. They are so calm and full of beauty and wisdom. I like to watch just before I head to bed to read and then sleep. Thank you.

[@quiet_tales]

Thank you so much for your kind words 🧡! Glad to hear you find them relaxing before bed, you might enjoy my latest video about a calm evening routine 😊

[@iammellowmind]

I can truly relate so much to your explanation of being an introvert. Enjoying oneselfes company in silent is beautiful I think ❤

[@LifewithK.]

I am often delaying crative endeavours too, thinking I won't be good enough, but starting is the only way to get better, and it is ok to be bad at stuff. This video was lovely!

[@quiet_tales]

Many thanks for watching 🌼! It's quite common to think we won't be good enough. It's such a shame because as you rightly pointed out, there is no way to get better than by practicing 😊 ! You might also surprise yourself at how easy you can improve at a new skill, hope you give it a go soon

[@Gypsy-Bluebird]

I so love your videos, your gorgeous home and your cheeky cats. ♥️

[@hanchad]

When you said that you tried to find meaningless connection in the past, I used to do that too. It is only recently that I have become comfortable with not being a culturally ‘acceptable’ socialiser, that I feel able to decline invites with people that drain me or to places I don’t want to go. It is difficult but freeing! You shared some important messages, and the sentiments at the end about creativity really rang true with myself with how I am feeling g at the moment, thank you for affirming some things in my mind. Your home, cats and outfit are beautiful, I’m so pleased you brought this channel to life ☀️ keep enjoying this winter/spring transition 💕

[@quiet_tales]

Thank you so much for being here and watching my video 🌼 . Happy to hear you have made more time for things that matter to you. I agree it's not always a simple thing to do. It is worth it on the long term 🧡 !

[@ginaferracini9375]

Love all the nature 🌿🐦💚🤗..so calming 🌱

[@purronnaspaw]

Love your videos especially the cats❤. I hope all the plants are non toxic to them... just saying. I know the spider plant and palm are safe. I bought plants in the past that were toxic, and my kitties would nip so no more toxic ones for them. 😍

[@NurunNaharLilian]

Very beautiful ❤

[@ilgitoprak6544]

This is such a good message to give. Don’t delay being you. What we fail to see sometimes is that we’re always us, but we can’t enjoy who we are because of peer pressure or the overstimulation of the outside world. You inspired me today to become more who I am from where I am in my life. Thanks ❤

[@quiet_tales]

I really love what you said, it rings true to me 🫶 Thank you for watching 🌼!

[@lockstrife]

Hey there. Glad you started 😊 Fellow introvert here. I felt that, envious of other people skills while I was too busy with work my whole life that I forgot the excitement of learning something new. Thanks for sharing your perspective about self discovery. Now I want some cinnamon buns haha 🤤

So glad you enjoyed them! It’s fascinating how much I forget what summer looks like, so I thought the comparison view would make a nice one ☺️. Thanks for watching 💜

[@lassanalife]

I’m so glad to find your channel. I love this video. I can relate so much to how you explain about yourself, almost like you are explaining about me. I started a KZbin channel few months ago too after thinking all those negative kind of thoughts like I can’t do this, I’m not good enough and all that. But just like you said, it gives me so much satisfaction in creating these videos. I’m still fighting with self doubts, hopefully I’ll be able to fight them soon. ❤

[@schotcey]

Well done. Lovely video

[@brendathompson4939]

I'm reflecting and embracing everything that you shared with us in this vlog. I couldn't agree more. As I get older, I treasure my time alone. I used to fight being an introvert-convincing myself that I HAD to be around people all the time. And it only drained me, causing agitation.

[@quiet_tales]

Thank you for your comment and for watching 🫶! I'm glad you are doing what is best for yourself now. Social time a lot more enjoyable when we choose when to have it 😊

Hello. Lovely video. I know I commented on a video of yours concerning the cats and plsnts..Swiss cheese, umbrella ZZ are toxic to your kitties. I couldn't seethe rest the palms are safe. But pls be aware that they don't chew them. ❤ as an older person who has experienced this...just being helpful. Looking forward to more relaxing videos.❤🐱

Hi there, thank you for expressing concern for Momo and Coco! They are being watched around every new plant we bring in and we give away the toxic ones if they try to nibble them. They are quite clever though and rarely get near the toxic ones 🐱😊

[@lisahinkofer2085]

How do you keep your beautiful cats from chewing on your plants.

[@quiet_tales]

They don't try to chew the toxic ones, I think they aren't appealed by them. Cats are clever creatures 🧡. They are attracted to plants that look like grass to them, so giving them pots of grass or catnip is good :)
