TIME TO REST | Life in the Azores

It's winter here in the Azores and as the island I live on lies dormant beneath a thick blanket of clouds I, too, am craving some deep rest and time to be just lazy. And though laziness is generally perceived as something bad I am joyfully practicing how to experience being lazy guilt free.
I hope you have a cozy and relaxing winter weekend.
Im sending you my love.

    Im Netz findet man unzählige Videos, die auf den Azoren entstanden sind. Alle sind im Grunde genommen „touristisch“ gestaltet. Deine Videos liebe Rahel sind dagegen ganz anders. Außergewöhnlich und sehr speziell! Die Motive. Dieses Mal der Schwarz-Weiß Kontrast und die Liebe zum Detail. Die Musik. Genau richtig ausgewählt. Und natürlich deine sehr gut gewählten Worte, die zum Nachdenken anregen. Das alles zusammen weckt immer den Wunsch in mir, dort, auf den Azoren zu sein und das Leben zu genießen. Das Wort „lazy“ hat für manchen vielleicht einem negativen Charakter. Ich sehe das nicht so. Ganz im Gegenteil. Es gibt mir die Zeit zur Ruhe zu kommen, mich zu erholen, Dinge zu überdenken und das Leben zu reflektieren. Ich wünsche dir von ganzem Herzen eine schöne Zeit und freue mich schon jetzt auf das nächste Video. Pass auf dich auf und lebe das Leben!

    Lieber Jörg. Danke für deine lieben Worte. Es bedeutet unbeschreiblich viel, dass du die Art und Weise wie ich mich ausdrücke, zu schätzen weißt. Und das dich alle Aspekte meiner Arbeit bereichern, dir ein gutes Gefühl geben und dich zum Träumen einladen freut mich ganz besonders. Danke, dass du mich hier so unterstützend begleitest. Ich schicke dir winterliche Insel Grüße!

    I love the sound of the ocean! 🌊 It gives a sense of calm and peacefulness. It’s not laziness to spend time connect with nature and the earth. It is grounding and helps one center themselves! Big hug to you Rahel! 🤗

    Winter has it's beauty. It gets very cold in the mountains. The black rocks are beautiful there. It looks like a good place to go fishing. If I went there I would try for some Sea Bass. One danger there is the Pufferfish! They are dangerous. The venom is lethal! A friend of mine got stung by the pufferfish and she was lucky to survive. She was in shallow water and it got her on the ankle. I would love to travel there. I speak Portuguese and German fluently. Que a graça de Deus esteja com você.

    hello Rahel, personally i struggle with not feeling guilt when i am lazy. As an adult, it seems like laziness is only acceptable when I am physically sick, or exhausted. Otherwise, not having done something productive each and every day makes me feel guilty. It is silly, because it doesn't matter, really. But, unfortunately, living in this world, as an adult, this is how I have been trained. And, this guilt is hardest to get rid of. Yikes! Hope that you are doing much better than I am.

    Hello Eve. I'm sorry to hear that you can't enjoy being lazy absolutely guilt free. There is a freedom in allowing oneself laziness on a regular basis. As you said it doesn't come natural to us because we have been trained that being lazy is something bad but there is always a way to reset a false narrative.

    Some say bears are our spirit guide. The bear rests in the nights, but also has a season of rest. Your video started me thinking of this. Could it be that humans are meant to be seasonal as well? I also recede into a slower pace with winters yawn. My cave has a few more comforts than the bear, but I hole up just the same.

    Dear Robert. Thank you for this interesting and thought provoking message. I do believe that humans are meant to be seasonal and that we generally would benefit from trying to live a bit more according to the rhythms of nature. I'm glad that your cave has a few more comforts. Enjoy your hibernation😊

    Nice little video Rahel! Do you ever catch any fish/crabs on your trips to the ocean? Days are short here in the north now, with only a little bit of sunshine now and then. There is snow on the ground in Stavanger now so a white X-mas is a possibility...🤞🤞

    Hello Endre. I feel very grateful for receiving a message from you for every video I publish. Thank you. I personally do not fish or catch crabs but many people here fish, either from the coast or by boat and there are quite a few who fish for a living. Our weather is still rather grey and wet so I envy your snow😊 I'm crossing my fingers for you to have a white Christmas.
