What's been helping me a lot when it comes to "slowing down" is IFS. As I recognised that there's a part of me that's been working extra hard and not getting noticed. Typical work,work, work/crash cycle. Most of my life I've been struggling with burnouts, a bit of perfectionism and struggling to relax. It's good that I recognise that a part of me simply learned this in childhood: that love is conditional and work/achievement equal self-worth. So then I can notice this part of me and practice getting rid of this faulty programming/core beliefs. It's amazing how powerful and transformative self love/self compassion can be. If we know how to do it and most importantly where we direct it. I really like the concept of slow living. Channels like yours are super cozy and relaxing. It's important especially for sensitive souls to slow down and enjoy little things in life and get rid of "the noise". But it's also super important in my view to ask ourselves: Why have I been struggling with slowing down ? Why do I struggle to relax ? Why do I have high standards ? Why can't I notice my achievements ? Where is it all rooted ? And yes as the title of your video says: "It is never too late to begin again" ❤

Aaah it's been a while! So happy to be back.. How is your year going so far? 💕

I can relate, feel like the last 6 weeks were not the time to start a new year with plans. Was very sick for close to 4 weeks and when that over had 3 injuries in a row. Am still trying to deal with the pain and heal. Not sure what the lessons are but did maintain my commitment to starting a 2 day week excercise class for inactive seniors as it was important to me, even though have to work around injury. So feel like I'm only starting the year quite late.

Nice to see you again, Daria. More of the same for me. Caring for aging parents who can no longer drive. That's the season of life I'm in. Last year was very difficult for me due to the loss of my precious daughter, the worst thing that could have happened. I'm still grieving, and probably always will, as I learn to go on living without her. Take care of yourself.

Hey Daria, how are you holding up? I hope your recovery is going smoothly. This year, I chose not to set traditional goals, something I've discussed in one of my recent videos where I also explore an alternative approach. I've found it's much healthier for my wellbeing. I completely agree that life's events teach us valuable lessons. I often find myself pondering, 'Hey Universe, what's the lesson here?' I hope you had a peaceful January and took some time to rest! ❤

Oh it's so strange, so many people keep telling me they had similar experiences or have gone through tough time recently. I wonder if there's something in the air.. 🙈 I hope this year will continue on a brighter note. Haha I did try to turn this nasty experience into a story, but I still have some bruises left, which remind me that it was all too real. 😅

Aww, a new Daria video......yay! Another beautifully shot, peaceful, calming video. Just what I needed to start my Friday before a busy, noisy day at work. So glad to hear you have recovered from your fall and look forward to more of your lovely videos. 😊

I’ve just had a major accident with my eye, just in the middle of the road, with kids, luggage and a cat 🐈‍⬛ on my hands. And all of a sudden I’m stopping seeing with my right eye 😕 The MOST inconvenient time possible… we’re on the customs border, in a bus, there’s a long road still ahead, and a plane flight which no one should take the risk of taking in such condition… So yeah… things happen you least expect them…

Daria, it is so lovely that you are back with us. I hope your Social Media detox helped. Thank you for such a beautiful video and words. You really do bring out nature in all its glory. I hope you have a calm day 😶‍🌫️🕊

I believe 🙏 things happen for a reason. Just because we can't perceive or discern that reason doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There is pattern in chaos and chaos in pattern. The balance between the known and unknown is about acceptance and discovery, activity and rest, questions and answers, etc. We are here to learn lessons, if we choose, and to make this plane of existence a little better. The tiny ripple our life still creates changes in the reflections of the water. We all matter. Especially, in tiny moments of sublime alignment with the transgency of life we see not our humanity but the divine. Even in the 🌟s. Perhaps one we will watch tonight, and marvel at, was extinguished a billion years ago- tho it's sparkle just reached earth yesterday. Doesn't the fact that it's brilliance, although a fleeting memory, still seem a miracle? That here and now across the vast Mordor of space the light that WAS still seems as real, as magical, as glorious? I believe so. So even in our darkest valleys, though we stumble, there is either dawn, sunset or starlight ahead.🙏 Sorry you hurt yourself. I strained my knee last month, or the tendons around it, and have felt a bit anxious. I have to keep telling myself, "This too shall pass," as my dear Mother used to say.❤

Dear Daria, what a great thought, that flowers are maybe most alive when they are just a bulb and not in the short time of blooming. 😊

Hello 👋 My Dearest Friend Daria: I’m So Sorry That Your New Year Started Bad. My New Year Wasn’t Good At All For Me. I Hope You Are Healing ❤️‍🩹 Well And Be Yourself Soon.

I am so glad to see you back, really sorry for your injury. I adored the way you resoluted what happened and I adore your words, angles and the vibe you give.

There's a spiritual meaning to falling. "Tripping up the stairs is a sign that you are rushing too fast ahead of yourself and not taking enough care to focus on one thing at a time. Falling down a few stairs can occur when you need a little shake up to get you out of a mental rut. It is showing you that you are heading towards a potentially negative downward spiral, and that if you don't change things, you could continue to keep going down a path that is not best suited for you. Hurting yourself in such a way that makes any pain linger around for a few days, is a way to remind you of why you fell in the first place, it helps to keep a new found alertness in place, so that you can put a more positive spin on your day and to your thought processes over all." Tammy Moir Falling is often the universe's response to the soul's longing for grounding.

I loved hearing from you again but soooo inspired that you took what time you needed to reset💕

I received a serious back injury last year that left me in severe pain, bedridden, and unable to do anything for myself. I understand how months of this can make one rethink your life and priorities. I'm still in pain but can walk again and do some things. I was sad about it today but then I found this channel and video. It made me realize that slowing down is a better way to heal and appreciate what I have in the moment. It's not easy but I hope to take this journey of physical and emotional healing with you. :) Subbed.

I will follow a pattern(slow living ) really l enjoy thank you 🤍

I just discovered your channel and Oh dear! right at the beginning you were saying at loud what I was saying and thinking. Why I'm so unlucky. I had fractures 3 bones in less than 10 months, I was hit by a car crossing the road, diagnosed with autoimmune disease, and much more. Now I'm in depression and I have anxiety attacks, I was put in sick leave for 2 months. I did seek help, I'm getting better, I'm also resetting my life, I'm questioning myself all the time, what do I want? How I can be happier? How to forgive? How I stopped to try to read other mind? How I stopped having negative thought. I have so much more questions popping up in my head. I hope you are getting better, you video are really gorgeous.
