I personally love just walking barefoot next to the creek.. listening to the birds and other creatures...big or small.. just watching the clouds float by.. Nature's elegance brings me the most peace❤

Spending a day alone in a wildlife refuge or state/national park identifying birds butterflies, other insects, animals and plants with keyed nature identification books. I have done this monthly with a amateur naturalist group and loved the interaction, challenge and friendship while trying to identify a much as we could depending on our interests, ending up with group dining at a local eatery. Lots of fun and camaraderie. Thanks for your beautiful and thoughtful videos.💚😊 Love your kitty, similar in color and habits of ours who is also fixated on what goes on outside

Long walks anywhere.

I wish there was a forest like that where I am living. I had tears when I saw those big trees, yearning for something I don't remember anymore. Like a mother's hug, unconditional and full of love. ❤I wish I could live in a place like that forever. Those trees make me feel more at home than the place I call home now.

I just love reading ❤ That is my favorite way to calm down. But I love going for long walks or do yoga 😍

Aah reading is one of my favourite activities too, especially for a rainy day or on a sunny day in the garden! 🥰 It’s so special!

A cup of coffee and watching a candle 😂 really that makes me calm and relax also I love drawing very much

Ooh there is something about watching candles! I love watching the tiny fire flicker too ✨

Beautiful and relaxing. Thank you. I always try to do everything I can the simple and traditional way, e.g., I use a manual coffee grinder as well; as well as hand tools (not power tools); foraging, gardening, and cooking with organic whole foods; and reading real books and not just reading from screens. It makes all the difference. One of my favorite ways to relax is watching your beautiful videos. 💖🥀🌻🌳🌲 Peace be with you friend. 🕊

What a lovely and relaxing video!!! I love to bike, feel the sun on my face and the wind through my hair! I also love to have a coffee (i prefer a capuccino) sit on the couch and just be! Next week we're going to the sea for a week, i love to look for shells and stones and hear the sound of the sea. That really calms me down. Just a little vacation and do what you want to do. I feel so priviliged and grateful we're able to do that! Lots of love 🧡

These forests look like something out of a fairytale. I wish it was more safe to go forest bathing where I live in Australia although we have to be vigilant for poisonous snakes and spiders. Hope one day I can relax like you do in a beautiful, safe forest and connect with nature

Hello Daria ☺. Did you see that you got a shout out from Nigel on his vlog - Primal England. Think it was called Hints for Living a Slower Life. He's linked you so that others would look at your vlog, his favourite. So you may get more subscribers! As for who invented forest bathing!. Haven't all countries or anyone who loves nature participated in some kind of forest bathing 🌲🌳 always. Sending love & light and blessings 🐝🌷🐞🌻 xx

I often forage nettle, but to eat it, in a nettle soup or nettle pesto (delicious). My favourite ways to relax are very close to yours. I would add painting too !

🥰

Love that you mentioned responsible foraging guidelines 😁 It's rather amazing that there is so much the nature has to offer. All you need is a bit of knowledge and respect for it and it will provide. Lovely video! Love the footage and scenery. Beautifully crafted vision!

Yesss being responsible and respectful is so important! Though nettle here grows in such abundance that nobody would really frown if you pick a lot… But I still tried to be respectful even to such a ferocious plant, especially seeing how ladybugs found a comfy bed in its leaves. 😄

Another wonderful relaxing vlog - your vlog is the cherry on the cake at the beginning of the weekend. I find doing crafts relaxing - e.g. diamond painting, crochet, 3D and 2D jigsaw puzzles - usually, I get them seasonally-themed-some I use as decor at the end and take pride in what I did. Bird watching, nature, seaside, and countryside walks are also relaxing, I find I feel alive amongst nature. I'm so glad you do these vlogs. Thank you.

@@IamDaria (Very late answer, due to frequent migraine attackas lately) Hello Daria! I use my junk journal for different things like: what books I've read (22 books so far in 2024), sometimes affirmations using stickers & other paper embellishments, gluing in old photos from when I was abroad for 5 yrs in the 80's, if I've done a stationary haul, etc. Anything at all I'd like to document.Some of the journals I've made myself from scratch, one was gifted and I bought one. I use a lot of torn out old papers pages to decorate, and sometimes stamps. It's a lot of fun and very therapeutic! I've always liked to write. Hope you're doing well!

Ooh what! That must’ve hurt so much! 😱😱😱 Nettle is just everywhere and I sting myself almost daily 😅 I think the more you encounter it, the more of a kind of “immunity” you build perhaps… I was stung by it many times as a child, but then moved to London where it is almost non existent, and the first time I stung myself after many years was soooo painful! But then I got used to it again I guess 😆

You're reading Circe! How do you like it? The class read it together when I was younger. A different genre, but another book if you haven't read it, The Moon Spinners - Mary Stewart, is set in Greece, and her descriptions of scenery are lovely. Plants and practical use make chemistry and biology far more interesting...the herbology aesthetic shall get me through exams, perhaps!

Oh wow, interesting. And here I am thinking I had a good eye. Some clips just seemed to be filmed at higher frame rates, e.g., when you grind the coffee or when you turn on the lamp by your couch. Perhaps it’s the shutter speed you’re using? Either way, this is feedback on a small technical aspect. Your storytelling and framing is really good, regardless! 👏🏼
