‘Pay better attention to the life that is happening right in front of me’. This is so perfectly said and so true. Life is what is happening right in front of us, when we lose sight of that we lose sight of life. While things like mobile phones can be a convenience, the can also distract us from life.

Hi Sophie, I loved your initial statement more or less, our hardship cones from having too much rather than not enough - how profound. Most of us, certainly me, am often thinking about what I can bring into my life rather than what I can discard, or how I can fulfill a real need rather than a false need. Recently I thought well, my car has almost 100k miles, maybe it's a good time to get something newer before it breaks down. But that was just me with a "case of the wants", rather than just being haply with my present car which, yes, doesn't offer all the things I'd like - I see people all over the place with new luxurious cars and wish I could have that - but I'm living withon a budget and I take good care of my car and it will probably last another 100k miles. It's good enough. I realized I need to focus on deeper and present needs. Though it's also important to think of the distant future and to invest pur money, mostly I think it's important to focus on now and our true deepest needs, big or small. And ask ourselves always, what makes us happy, what is meaningful to us. Thanks for reminding us and giving us an example. And welcome back to the Hawaiin Islands!

Thank you for this video Sophie. You don't know how much you have been helping me over the last year. The love of my life, my husband of 4 plus years, ended our marriage. The grief and devastation have been nothing less than traumatic & paralyzing. Your channel along with other favorites, professional help and 3 friends have been my sources of pulling myself through, fighting tooth & nail, to turn my journey into one of healing & opportunity. Distractions including clutter DEFINITELY have had a huge impact concerning my healing & restoration. It is also difficult for me to create a new life for myself when I have these distractions hanging over my head.... constantly. I have made progress.... slowly however surely....and thanks to this video, I am about to get up, put my phone down and continue what I had planned on doing today. And that includes going into nature and allowing myself to appreciate its beauty. Thank you again Sophie. I wish you & your husband and precious fur babies a wonderful weekend 🌞🌻🌹✨

I think it is so important that you make your three things you want to get done list. It is good to have goals and to focus on them, and then you can get to the other things you should or need to. Very wonderful. Clutter truly is too distracting and not fun. Always a pleasure watching/listening!

Hi Sophie 👋, Sometimes, life distractions can get in the way of us focusing on being present and embracing what’s happening right in front of us (if we choose to let them, that is). At the same time however, I don’t think many of us would understand what it really means to prioritize what we know is most important for us without these life distractions and their impact on us and our daily lives. Sending you lots of love!!! ❤️❤️❤️🤗

1020am here, Sylvan Lake. Alberta. Hi Sophie! 🩷🙋♀️ Thank you for this. Also for mentioning the book "myth of nornal". Thinking about getting one. I have a lot of mental and emotional clutter at the moment. So this video certainly gently shook me to examine my thoughts....it's exhausting and very unhealthy to always spend time and energy on feeling too cramped in my brain and heart. I wish it is so much easier to let most of the clutter go. 😔 Take care Sophie. 🩷🩷🩷🙋♀️

But thats how I feel I’m hoale but was born and grew up in these exact spots Can’t imagine how native Hawaiians feel having to find other living options due to inflation Its a very expensive life This type of portrayal of HI is the “paradise” version, there are very exploitative & negative sides to it But ultimately I do miss the mana in the land and sea there, it will always be my true home Love all the true aspects of HI ❤️❤️
