Simple Ways to Add More JOY Into Your Life

[@slownaturalliving3218]

Appreciating the small moments really changed a lot for me. Years ago I was also hunting vacations or special events. But I came to the conclusion that this actually made me unhappy. I was depressed everytime I came back from vacation. Now I try to integrate "mini vacations: into my daily life, like taking a walk, reading a book, and spending a lot of time in nature. This brings joy into my life almost every day. 😊

I respect this bc I went thru the same thing, well actually going thru it now. Sorry for the misspelling

One of the ways I've found to add joy is to pair my coffee in the morning with jazz, a candle, and either a book or watching all the wildlife in my backyard. The books lend to aha moments and self reflection, and the creatures living their lives lead to a simple sense of wonder. There is so much to be amazed by in our natural world if we take the time to slow down and appreciate it 💚

[@MalamaLife]

You know how to enjoy life :) how beautiful

[@norinerome4822]

Jesus…gives me joy ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Hebrews 12:2 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

[@pretichaturvedi171]

Yes! Real happiness is eternal and ever increasing, which is only possible with love of God, whatever you call Him. “Happiness” here is just the relative absence of distress. Go for real happiness!

[@khalilahd.]

Finding time to enjoy the little things in life naturally leads to more gratitude and thus joy. I love that you always find ways to promote this type of lifestyle. In a busy world it’s a nice reminder to slow down and actually enjoy life 💜

[@MalamaLife]

I'm happy to find others who see life the same way :)

[@maryrosetimbol869]

Thank you I'm new here but I love all the videos that I watched already, u inspire me to appreciate everything little that I have... More power and love 😘

[@DaestrumManitz]

When I think of joy, I am reminded of the birth of my first child. Watching my wife endure 36 hours of labour was excruciating, but seeing my daughter born brought joy! More recently, watching a slide show at my nephew’s wedding of him from baby to newly wed, and seeing him (as a baby)in a picture in my father’s arms brought joy. Seeing my dad again, after being dead for 10 years. People bring joy.😎

[@reginebee2054]

"Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional". That hit me and it's timely for me. Just walked away from a place I didn't belong. Finally I was able to open my eyes to the truth and see what's more on the other side rather than focusing on something that I wasn't feeling worthy. Now, mindfulness to me is crucial more than ever. I've had similar experience like that but they way I handle it is more graceful and self-compassionate. Thanks for all of these reminders, Sophie 😊🥰😊

[@SaraBiancaBentley]

That quote really hit home for me too!

Tea + Morning + Sun. This is my happiness when I don't have anything to do. When you found your time and space, everything in your life, change. The moment with you own is so special and unique. Enjoy your life. ♡ Thanks for Share. ^^

[@khushhhmusic]

this video made me feel much better, I've been having a bad couple of weeks where it's getting harder for me to appreciate what's constant in my life like myself. Thankyou for helping me get myself to restress the point of enjoying the smallest moments and things in our lives.

[@melodylipford3142]

I add joy through prayer, reading, music, meditation, candles, and face masks. Thanks for this video it was great and so needed for me this week!

[@ThisLifeFromScratch]

Hi Sophie... the hardest thing I find is resting and soaking in the littlest moments.... We get so wrapped up in things that we can't control.... Thanks for this video... it takes the "guilt" away and gives you that permission to still enjoy your daily life!!!🥰

I'm glad it was a little reminder for you :) thank you for watching

Hi Sophie, so glad to have found your KZbin Channel. Thank you so much

[@moonhunter9993]

yes, JOY has become such a goal in my life. I write the little word on my left wrist every day as a reminder to seek it actively.

[@MalamaLife]

a small word with big meaning :) I love that you write it to remind yourself

[@sreyno01]

I am so trying to enjoy the small moments.. I like to sit in my backyard and enjoy the breeze coming through the trees and the birds flying around doing their daily tasks. It’s worth getting up early and it’s peaceful and rewarding.

[@MalamaLife]

Sounds lovely 😍

[@maglow6807]

Love the quote “pain is inevitable” but suffering is optional. Great video Sophie! Love the style, content.. it helps me to live the present and find my own peace through your videos

I always bring my sketchbook, where ever I go. So now I have a timeline of sketchbooks and creations from since I was in elementary school. Art to me is as healing & a way of channeling and exploring my inside as for many other people music is. But for me the difference is, that creating for me is active & a choice, whereas music is an epic mystery to me, which i enjoy passively. When I seek inspiration or comfort I go back to my old art, because I know that I will always have art as an option for self expression which is such a comforting truth for me. Art saved me from giving up, and now I know I can overcome a lot, because the proof for that is shown in every single piece of my art. This video really touched me, sending love to you! - a German Woman

[@MalamaLife]

Happy Tuesday Everyone! How do you add more JOY into your life? :)

Sophie, THANK YOU for existing and making such heart warming yet eye opening videos! Love each and every line here, the frames, the cinematography- crazy! Love your way of sharing and expressing the things that we already know but don't make time to reflect upon! Much love and respect to you!❤

[@cassandra.rose.]

I’m not the only one that cooks with my left hand and arm up just up in the air for no reason! Every time I see a picture or video of myself, I’m like what am I doing? But I absolutely can’t help it 😂 edit: Also, once again thank you for sharing 🙏 I really appreciate your perspective.

[@SuzyYen82]

Another inspirational video. Thank you. These days I really enjoy and appreciate a good ordinary day. I no longer look forward to special days, I mean, why wait, when I can make an ordinary day feel special.Take today for example, I enjoyed a nice afternoon coffee session with my sister at our favourite coffee place, it was raining so heavily outside and we just chatted. That felt really special. After that we enjoyed a nice and slow walk home. These are the small things in life that means a lot to me. And brings me a lot of joy. Hope your day was beautiful too.

[@MalamaLife]

Ah that sounds like such a lovely day! And it doesn't have to be all day everyday, but it can be just little moments like that 😍

"Pain is inevitable but suffering is an option" Thank you Sophie, this quote came to me at the right time 💗

Enjoying the morning sun on my balcony with a hot cup of ☕️ and my dog. Sometimes my sons will join me and it’s just so peaceful and the perfect way to start the day!

[@LormzWorldCanada]

My kids is my joy....and making the time to play with them is the most treasured by them. Even though its just a play in the park, it is well worth it...no money involved. So nice to hear my kids say "thank you for a wonderful day"...and gives me comfort that they are happy regardless of how simple the activities I do with them.

[@venusallegrayerkovich592]

I've been watching your videos today.. I see you have some strong points of view.. quite a Buddhist type lifestyle.. im a born again Christian.. we believe our Joy is in our Lord Jesus Christ.. he gives us strength.. Bless you.

[@anonymouslyxhebs6556]

I recently discovered your channel and i love how you address mental health,self love and positivity.I incorporate some of the habits you mentioned like taking breaks,spraying perfume and meditation.Some more that i include which have not only brought joy to my life but also help reduce my anxiety are prayers,using stuff that i had only saved for special occasions,yoga and reaching for help from my loved ones.

[@GG271]

Words can’t describe how much comfort and support your videos are giving me. You seem to always come on the right time, with wise words I need to hear. Thank you so much Sophie for everything that you are, for everything that you do. Sending lots of love! 💜💜💜

[@tiffanycraig8353]

I totally understand what you mean by “squeezing the last drop of pleasure” by elevating the daily routine. For me, the biggest joy in life is my morning routine. Before the sun rises, before everyone’s awake, I love the feeling of getting a head start and putting my mindset in a positive space before I start out my day. I’ve been conscious about spending time with each of my kitties too, and it just starts my day filled with love. Thank you for letting us always reflect back on the simple things in life, which brings greatest impact to our lives. Mahalo

Hello Sophie! I have been watching your channels for a while now! Your videos bring so much joy to my daily life! I learned this from my career coach: ask and answer yourself three times. What bring you joy? Then answer it. For example, what bring me joy? The sound of ocean brings me joy.

Your slow living videos are like a guided meditation for me. They help calm my anxiety and make me feel content. Thank you.

[@eliza6470]

I loved this video...you always help me to get back on track in my pursuing a different kind of life for myself .. Also a very important thing about your vlog is the way you TALK ABOUT SPONSORS. I LOVE that you mention them briefly yet somehow we find out all the right details about them in a non disturbing way ..I recently commented on other vlog of fashion stylist who would put long promotions on her channel asking to really pay attention to that as it was so tiring... I know and truly understand the need of sponsors ...and I must say the way you mention them is amazing ..you don't feel it's a promotion at all...it feels like you respect your viewers...so thank you❤️

[@creativesdiaryzenliving6473]

people in conventional are often discouraging in making such videos, but I personally feel that all of us in every corner of the earth can offer something different and their perspectives. Want your respect on having a groups of kindred spirits to interact fruitfully online

[@noneywright6333]

Aha, I always thought of it the other way around. To me happiness is a state of contentment and can be found in the everyday whilst joy are those "butterfly landing moments" like when you laugh so hard your sides hurt or you get amazing news etc. It is like an intense short term moment of happiness on a higher level.

[@jowyschwarz313]

Happiness for me is when the time i could feel any of my feeling without resistance..even if when i can feel sadness,anger,joy,etc..im just happy and feel whole when i can feel my feeling and act or express by it's alligment

[@optimalhealthandhappiness6501]

Thanks for the beautiful video. I overworked on screens today, and watched this while doing yoga 🧘🏻 but your voice is so calming and the scenes are so gorgeous, so it helps me slow down. Your videos give me joy. ❤️ I also love to walk in nature, just stare at the trees, flowers or pretty houses- that’s joy for me too. 🥰

[@sristiswayanshaswain2623]

It's all a matter of embracing the little needs of life...they may not be massive adventures but still then at the end of the day are simple joys worth living for...thanks for the reminder that narratives matter in defining the experience...it highlights the essentiality of having a perspective that can mould us into a better version! ❤️✨

[@petersimcox4745]

In a lot ove people's lives, today everyone's watching other people if they have this and that. That is not good to people who have mental health issues. Joy and happiness, comes if you allow your self to be Happy !. We are all different, we all have different views on Life !. None ove us will ever be perfect including my self. Great Video Sophie !!!.

[@seaofsolace]

Thank you for this video! I did find out in the last year that the joy is when we slow down and appreciate the little moments. It is hard because it is the opposite of what we are taught. Slow living is really the way to go!

[@MalamaLife]

Yes! It's too bad we're taught the opposite.

[@annec7391]

I find the best way to add joy to my life is to simply remove the things that don't bring me joy. The things that remain shine all the brighter!

[@MalamaLife]

[@LifewithAlegria]

Love all that you’ve said here. Your description of joy is so precise. The Joy really is in the journey. It isn’t as fleeting as happiness and it’s a sense we create for ourselves based on our thinking and how we process our emotions. Absolutely beautiful thoughts with a gorgeous aesthetic. I too write a lot about joy. Have a beautiful joyful day. Thank you for sharing this. 🌸
