trying to have fun in the suburbs

[@estrellasjournal]

the transition from the lake to your home while you’re holding your stick was so comedically timed lmao

[@illprovidetheperspective]

I read this comment before watching it and the transition still made me lol

[@jjstarrprod]

Agreed ! Hanch hits a homerun again !

[@Pippppaxx]

Haha yup, I laughed out loud! Too good

[@NYKIRA]

Honestly ✨DO LESS BE MORE✨ has been my phrase for this week Leah - I feel like we're all tapping into this wave, as I get confirmations from my circle. Theres such power in stillness and opening up to being vulnerable in that.🌱

[@leahsfieldnotes]

Agreed!! It’s like all the plants frozen in the beautiful ice formations :)

[@NYKIRA]

@@leahsfieldnotes omg yes ✨

[@strawberryloona]

my interpretation of the 11th chapter is that it's trying to say that space and emptiness are what create opportunities for something to function. to explain with examples from the text, a pot couldn't do what it's supposed to if it didn't have empty space in the middle and the empty space inside a house is what creates opportunity for us to live inside it :) i'm taking a chinese literature class in uni rn and it's been quite fun working with the older texts, trying to make sense of what seems at first cryptic in seminars together. we read a bit of tao te ching for one seminar as well. i had a bit of a tough day so i'm extra grateful for the sweet hangout today. thank you and i'm sending you my love 💛

[@leahsfieldnotes]

Aww what a lovely class and thank u for sharing ur interpretation! Sending u a big hug 🫂

[@strawberryloona]

@@leahsfieldnotes thank you, sweet Leah! 🌟

[@mochidiary]

It feels so great to see Leah's back, doing better and better on her progress. ❤️

[@danika1276]

For me, Chapter 11 was reassurance that we don’t need to have our entire identity or “being” figured out, because the non-being, or “space” within ourselves is the part we and others “use”. Similarly to how we use the empty space in the home, maybe we create space through the non-being for others to open up to us and connect, and through which to experience life. If we were completely full of “being”, there would be no space for new people or experiences ☁️🌱 just my thoughts, thanks for sharing that Leah!

[@lisadotes758]

I’ve been waiting whole week for a new video and it can’t arrive at a more perfect timing. Seeing you taking care and being kind to yourself is oddly very comforting yet inspiring in this already tiring week so thank you for what you do 🥺❤️

[@ayonicole07]

Everything has been making me feel overwhelmed lately and as an extrovert, i think that i am slowly turning into a cozy homebody. I really felt seen while watching this video because it amazes me how just little new circumstances affect our mental health all in all. I love u leah i'm really inspired by your videos!! im proud to say i am a strong supporter

[@_dearolive]

Hope you find peace 🤍

[@iidak3125]

Leah seems to be in such a free, healthy and playful headspace, it's such a joy to watch that and watch a person just enjoy their own company and being able to enjoy the smallest things in life. So proud of her, an inspiration!

[@estrellasjournal]

this came at the right time again. the past two weeks, i have become a homebody as well studying for my midterm. my life is pretty mundane right now but i’m trying to appreciate it.

[@_dearolive]

Good luck and stay strong!! Hope you find times where you can take breaks 🤍

[@pakhiparashar9377]

Been so exhausted less than a month into college, the weekend is here and I think i know exactly how to full body reset hahaha. Thank you for this refreshing, full of dopamine upload. Love you 💗💗

[@_dearolive]

Stay strong!! It’s exhausting studying all the time, but it’s one of the best moments in your life! Best wishes!!

[@mellowediscool]

Leah, seeing you relax by the lake makes me remember how it feels to sit by the ocean nearby my childhood home. Thanks for sharing, I felt so at peace with you 💕

[@chloelin1093]

i love how you film the process of you "doing" everything and not editing them into aesthetic montages

[@khalilahd.]

I love seeing you heal and move past difficult moments in your life. It’s so relatable and reminds us to also take the time to do the same 💜

[@Qrlekfjtj9]

Your editing style will always make this a comfort channel for me

[@leahsfieldnotes]

Thank u 🥺❤️

[@manjatomazic8542]

Your video gave me lots of comfort and watching it feels like a safe place so I'm really thankful for your being. Sending you much love and light. Hopefully you are doing good. Take care of yourself.💗 Have a lovely day.

[@Orjustlynx]

I have been very anxious and tired for the last 3 weeks and most of the time I can't think of anything but the war in my country. But when I watch your videos, I can have a piece of peace, and it reminds me that I can still do what I love. In other words, it brings me back to life. Thank you❤

[@Mskatyuska96]

Thank you so much for this content. I was exhausted with my thesis and this week I was loosing motivation with everything. Your video affected me in a positive way and I did some gentle yoga after that. Hope you can find your inner peace and everything you wish. Also, I completely agree with you, when someone is in a relationship, everybody is assuming that everything is perfect in your life since you have someone beside you. This issue affect me in a negative way time to time, because I feel pressure within my social cycle as I could not have a problem in life in terms of our differences or ups and downs with my partner. İf we put everything aside, the relationship itself is between to human being simply sharing some common values and emotions ... Have a good weekend 🙏

[@leahsfieldnotes]

Awww I’m sending u a big hug 🫂🤍 hope u keep doing gentle yoga breaks as u move forward with your thesis step by step!

[@_dearolive]

Omg good luck! You’ve got this 💪

[@Shamrockonmyknees]

love you so much leah you are such an inspiration! just wanted to say that saying let´s do nothing and then showing you doing a lot: vacuuming, cleaning your closet, going outside, eating healthy etc. made me feel like shit bc doing nothing looks very different to me, especially if you are depressed but also just if you are less active. I know this was not your intention, just saying you are a very active and productive person even if this is "nothing" for you

[@christinaflutter5411]

For sure it is different for everyone, like I could 💯 relate to what you said, but also Leah's nothing here because at times I am so overactive and productive (to a fault) that the things in this video are a break and "nothing". Also sometimes people start with the plan of doing nothing or something simple but it extends as they go. Good to hear another perspective and just know you are also completely valid in your own version of nothing too.

[@leahsfieldnotes]

Sometimes my nothing is binge watching a drama for 3 days straight but it wouldn’t be as fun to film for u guys to watch 😅

[@咩喔]

I like 道德经! I think chapter 11 is trying to explain that "being" makes life convenient, but what we don't see is "not-being" also play its role, just like the empty space in wheel, clay pot and house. Love the vibe of your video❤

[@leahsfieldnotes]

What’s not being like tho :0

[@edayldrm2438]

@@leahsfieldnotes maybe the things that doesnt exist, the paths that we dont choose, the things that we dont see or feel... like if im choosing something then it is a 'being' and all the things that i am not 'choosing' doesnt 'exist', and by their 'unexistence' the thing that i choose gets the chance to 'be'? like everything contributes to and affects everything... idk this is just what i felt reading that quote, i love your videos btw (:

[@咩喔]

@@leahsfieldnotes tbh I am not so sure, the original Chinese word of not-being in this chapter is 无, which means “nothing”. Some people would think the main idea of 无 mentioned often in 道德经 is letting thing goes naturally and no forcing or controlling, I quite like this perspective. Just like u said, there’re various translations and understandings. It’s fun to discuss this🍃

[@jamilla8588]

that proverb is so interesting omg.. id interpret it as like, we can do lots of things to try to shape our own lives but its the 'empty space' of spontaneity and the unknown (which we have no way to control) that makes life the wonderful and fragile thing that it is
