My Secret to Everyday Happiness: Casual Magic.

guys this video has been in the works for a WHILE. 💐🌞✨ if you've ever wondered how I personally define the idea of casual magic, this is it. Finding magic in the everyday mundane. Finding just one thing, no matter how small, to find beauty in and appreciate every day. This is my secret for how to enjoy life more fully.
This practice of daily gratitude was the mindset shift which most changed my life. No matter how rough life gets, my day always gets better when I actively look for beauty. Sending so so much love to you all! You'll always be my casual magic 💐
Enjoy this artful piece in collaboration with my friend and video queen ‪@lauren_hogg‬ who helped bring my vision to life. Go subscribe to her pls, she's incred ✨
I'm not sure who coined the phrase casual magic! I've been looking for daily gratitude since I was about 16 or 17 and I started defining it under the phrase 'casual magic' after hearing about similar concepts. If you're looking for more people who post about mundane magic, I highly recommend my good friend @agirlnamedally on Instagram and ‪@AllySheehan‬ on KZbin! I also loveee how ‪@ChloeKian‬ captures everyday magic 💌

I just found out recently that the railings in your clip at around 3:10 are actually made of old world war 2 stretchers. There are a few of these around london, you can spot them by the curves at the ends that were to keep patients off the floor

Today's casual magic- standing in my balcony having ice-cream (it's a hot summer day here) while feeling the sunshine on my face and hearing the distant chirping of sparrows. ☀

[@itssab2845]

I read a verse in the Quran once which said “If you are grateful, I will surely give you more.” For some reason this video reminded of that verse. What a beautiful video!

[@wiseguy3147]

Damn..

[@user-gs5ot2nw8i]

While watching this video i had this same verse of the Quran in my mind. I'm glad to know that there is someone who felt the same way I did💛 the remembers of being grateful for the smallest things in our daily lives are everywhere, but we need to be aware of the great impact on our lives only by being grateful.

This video is casual magic- that anyone can create a video and channel like this to express themselves and connect with like-minded people around the world… how wonderful and magical this truly is. Thanks for the reminder to enjoy the small things in life.

[@evgeniyashevchuk8136]

I know it's everywhere now, but since the war started in my country all of the ordinary moments became magical to me: knowing that all of your friends are alive, you have some time to take a shower, you can have some bread for a breakfast. It's impossible how rapidly our everyday routine became the most important features of the day.

[@yukidoit]

casual magic has so many layers of beautifulness. it sounds like your own 'branding' of mindfulness. thank you for sharing this with us, i love it :)))

[@earthandbeing]

If you have followed Jade for a while now you'll know this video is sincere. And so very relatable. I have tried the trend of "romantising" life, one video she once uploaded. It has made a difference, a big one. What personally also helped is the the therapy I get through journaling (and yoga 🤗). I hadn't realized I had also incorporated the "casual magic" I literally related to the "appreciate when a stranger smiles at you or when someone hold the door for you when you're caring a lot of stuff" 🙂. I used to say smile underneath that face mask, for someone who pays attention, they will notice your kind gesture. This YT channel is home. Thanks, Jade.

despite having three big assignments due, I decided to take 5 minutes out of my day to watch this video. Not only has it made me so much calmer, it reminds me of the privilege i have to get to do these assignments and chase my academic goals. This video was my casual magic of my day. Thank you for always being so inspirational, Jade!

[@geethikajagupalli7949]

Getting to see a video like this sitting at my comfort is also something i should be grateful for..

[@aoifemorrisroe254]

I've been watching your videos for years now. I'm slightly younger than you and your advice has always felt like it came from a big sister. I have never commented before, but this video compelled me to. I am so proud of who you are and who you have become. You're such a beautiful person inside and out. Your philosophy to life as you have grown up has shaped how I feel about life. Jade, keep being yourself because no matter how stressful life gets, even for yourself, you have become such a bright light. Please remember how wonderfully impactful you are.

[@Julia-fp5zr]

What really helped me to start seeing the beauty in all these tiny casual moments and to be grateful for them, is an every-day-a-second video. Every day for a year, a film a one-second-long video of my everyday life (or sometimes two seconds, sometimes none, or just a saved snapchat-pic), and at the end of the month, I cut them together, so that I have a review of my life at the end of the year. It already makes me so happy when I review the snippets at the end of the month, because they remind me of what I have experienced the last 30 days, even though they mostly are just small things like going for a walk in the evening sun, finishing a good book or seeing myself studying the whole week, when I already know I ended up passing the exam. It really made me appreciate the small moments in my everyday life which I am sure I would have forgotten by the end of the year, if I wouldn`t record them on camera.

[@The_Study_Bug]

My days have been all doom and gloom these past weeks. I've been pondering if life is worth living and this video showed me that yes, life is worth living! Starting from today I'm willing to practice causal magic and see beauty in tiny little things

[@kutendajange7590]

That's good, I hope this world fills your life with casual magic 🥺

Casual Magic for me today is being appreciative of my presence of the here and now of this beautiful day .Thank you for sharing with us Jade 🙏💚

[@ehicomello_-3966]

I started noticing casual magic a while ago, maybe after quarantine :) since then, I've started taking pics of every little thing that brings me joy or is just interesting, and looking at those pictures makes me feel relieved and hopeful when everything seems dark and negative. Love your videos Jade♥️ Love from Italy 🌊

Im a student at Uni studying to be a therapist. I find it really stressful and attend regular counselling myself, thought u might like to know that I actually told my counsellor yesterday about you, about how helpful and inspiring i find your KZbin videos... Thanks so much for putting in the effort to make them the way you do, your videos literally helped me get out of a really dark depressive episode, they've helped me when I was suicidal 2 weeks ago. Hope you're having a nice week and not too stressed at Uni, Love you, from your biggest UK fan, Ash x

[@JJ-jf6wi]

I saw your Instagram stories about casual magic and since then, I also wrote my 'casual magic' moments in my journal. This is my fave one so far: A few months ago, I finished my schoolworks at almost 12am and I got really tired. I turned off the lights in my room but I can still see my shadow due to the other sources of light outside. As i was about to go to bed, I noticed my silhouette. I moved my hands and watched how my shadow replicated it. Then, I danced without music and it felt so magical. It was so peaceful and quiet. It's like a scene in a movie🥺❤

[@jasperheckinbocker1101]

That Shot of the sundown sky at 1:41 is the exact kind of moment that stops me in my tracks. Its especially fun when I'm running an errand with my wife and I just say look and we stop and take it all in. Cheers!

I went into my room and tried to study but couldn't focus and started procrastinating on my phone then saw a notification that you uploaded , and after watching this video I can tell you jade, I've just felt so much better, you just reminded me that I have so much to be grateful for in my life and so many things to explore, too see, to love, to cherish..... ans I just want to say I'm so grateful for you, your videos, your smile, you just fill my day with sunshine,.....

This realization is truly amazing and the key to a happy living

I believe being grateful requires you to appreciate beauty. And appreciating beauty requires you to be in touch with the World around you and yourself even. To have the patience and the eye for noticing it. It’s not easy for people who aren’t used to it but a little goes a long way. I was really depressed during quarantine and what helped me get out of it was express my gratitude to Allah swt every night for 5 things. Just 5 things before bed. Sometimes I said em in my head or sometimes I wrote em down. But it made me get better and it brought with it more opportunities to heal. All I’m saying is, being grateful is one of the keys to happiness. Your religion or God or ideology does not matter. Just be grateful for everything and you will reap the benefits. Love from Pakistan xoxo
