[@Beavis-et8ox]

Watching one of your videos always slows me down a little bit. Thanks for this and have a great day.

[@SimpleHappyZen]

The low bun and collared open shirt are both very flattering!

[@nora1755]

Thank you, and low bun suits you a lot💜

Lately, I’ve been bullying myself for not being able to get anything done while suffering from a number of chronic issues. I just wanted to say thank you so much for the advice in this video as I need to slow down and allow myself to process what I’m going through.

[@myrnarenoud3056]

I actually practice your last tip all the time. I find doing my nightly facial routine boring and lots of time I’m not in the mood to do it! I thought it was taking way too long so one night I timed myself. I was shocked that it was only taking me 10 minutes!!! I would have guessed 25! So after that I started practicing focusing on what needs to be done nightly and I encourage myself by saying…it’s only 10 minutes…relax and enjoy! Amazingly, I have learned to do just that!

Random daydreamy thoughts…. Loved the new, low ponytail…ahhh Niksen!… happy sighing, who knew? …quiet nature….deep breathing in all its forms is incredibly soothing…self massage is necessary…. The present is a gift to yourself….how did you possibly concentrate to create this video with construction overhead? … I love being with Vera ❤

[@denisehill7769]

I'm so glad you advised sighing - my memory went straight back to school, as a 6 or 7 year old, being shouted at by the teacher for sighing. I wasn't even aware I was doing it! I'm going to have a good old sigh, and enjoy it :)

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Haha yes I know what you mean, many people view sighing as something bad. Sometimes it can be because of frustration or other negative emotions, but other times it can be so nice and healing! So let's enjoy sighing more hahaha.

[@MrRaythMandblues]

@@SimpleHappyZen Yes. And horsey lips FTW!

[@eduardor0605]

OMG, Dear Vera, it's so beautiful to begin the week with you ❤❤❤❤ send you hugs from Mexico City 😊

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Thank you, enjoy the video!!!

[@Jasmink.jkbs.2035]

Hello Vera! I find your videos incredibly calming and inspiring! I'm happy every time you post a new one. It makes my day a little bit nicer! Thank you so much!🌱🌟

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Aw thank you, that's so nice to hear 🤗🌺🍵 Have a happy Monday!

[@user-ye2ge4zo5lhennypenny]

Hi Vera from Australia 🇦🇺 am 67 really love your Channel...very interesting 😀 I am definately going to share with my close friends! Thankyou so much ❤🎉

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Thank you, that's great to hear! 🤗🍵 Have a wonderful day!

[@annlynngarviefinley5581]

Love the bun! I combine your previous advice about M. I. T. with slowing down and giving myself enough time to complete whatever the task is in a more relaxed way. I have the attention span of that fruit fly that was distracting you in this video so I’m still practicing this!

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Thanks Ashlynn! Good to hear about M.I.T. and slowing down! Haha it's definitely a practice

[@happy_t-rex]

Love the bun! I do read a lot of non-fiction, but mainly science-y stuff, and history, biographies. It's still immensely interesting, but they're generally not things that make me feel like I have to do something with them /right now/, while still enhancing my understanding of many things, including myself.

[@sbbushwacker773]

Love the low bun. Love from Canada.

[@smontone]

Th low bun is very cute. I know one of my big things is to treat self care as important as other things.

[@VarvaraKosheleva-e3g]

The bun is super cute ☺️ Thanks for your advice and support. I needed it today ❤

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Aw thanks!!! The bun is comfortable too, with the parting in the middle the bun doesn't pull on my scalp or anything :) Have a great day and take care!

[@reymondatienza8427]

Pomodoro variation for me, I'd try that, probably 45 mins deep work and 15 min break. 25-5 mins seem so short to me as well. Thanks so much Vera for the slow living tips!

[@evangelenestrohschein1622]

Hi from Canada 🇨🇦 I'm going to work on building in habits that take practice and aren't on electronic devices.

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Awesome!! Enjoy and let me know what you end up picking and how it works out 🤗🌳

[@darysaura]

Hi, Vera! Thank you for your great content. 🌷🙏 I find your 3rd tip especially helpful. Preparing things the night before helps me start my mornings more relaxed and follow my body's natural time for completely waking up and pick on energy levels without having to rush to complete certain tasks or force my brain to take decisions that would impact the rest of my day while I'm still in the process of waking up. This works wonders for me since I was in middle school. I'm trying to incorporate this habit again in my daily routines.

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Exactly, well said!! 😁❤️

[@sara.m.a179]

hugging urself advice!!❤ thankyou so much ! much needed

[@SimpleHappyZen]

You're so welcome, enjoy!! 🤗🍵💕

[@birgitbrabetz2470]

i first stumbled into your videos with the episode about NIKSEN - i do sooooo love this word and this is what i try to take over in my days ❤❤❤ and i like your bun too 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@MrRaythMandblues]

Aaugh! New neighbors can be such a huge source of stress. I always to try to meet them ASAP to put a name and face to the noise. It's hard to do as an introvert, but if I can know and understand them even just a little bit, it helps me to acclimate to their presence.

[@SimpleHappyZen]

So true! I have met them by now and that definitely does help :)

[@pamelaflickinger2160]

Very good slow living tips. I do like your hair in the low bun. I also style mine that way.

[@yulyakaiser9665]

Thank you ❤❤❤❤

[@SimpleHappyZen]

You're so welcome, hope you enjoyed the video! 🤗🌳🌻

[@autorinmitkatze]

I really, really need to stop doing phone games and scrolling mindlessly - which I often do when I am exhausted and tired and don't have the brainpower to do something "purposeful". You are right, these things are highly addictive. Thank you also for the reminder abou eating slowly and with awareness. :)

[@elizafregoso6947]

Thank You from Curaçao❤❤

[@SimpleHappyZen]

You're so welcome, hope you enjoyed the video! 🤗🌳🌻

[@user-ye2ge4zo5lhennypenny]

I just thought I would mention I love ❤ Audiobooks to listen too 🎉😂

[@SimpleHappyZen]

I still kind of want to try them out some day :)

[@rlj9257]

Je haar zit echt leuk zo, was me gelijk al opgevallen! Zeker in combinatie met deze oorbellen. Helemaal eens met de tip over meer fictie lezen trouwens (en de rest ook haha) xx

[@SimpleHappyZen]

Ah superleuk, dankje! Het zit ook nog eens lekker haha, door de scheiding in het midden doet het geen pijn zoals na een tijdje met een hogere knot. Mooi dat je de tips ook leuk vindt! Fijne maandag!

[@annlavine3576]
