I love how you recognize you are an introvert and have simplified your life to bring you peace and tranquility. Many of us are also introverts but feel pressured to change our personalities to fit the "norm". Great tips as always!
Yeah, that’s hard if you’re not a big people person😅
Society tells us that being quiet is wrong. I was told countless times by my mother to smile more, dance like this etc... Frustrates me to no end. Extraverts are not better just different and to me become annoying pretty quickly
I love these, especially #5 and 9. Looking forward to seeing your new home. 😀 👍
My 10 things
1. Always have a good book on the go, and your next one lined up ready.
2. Check the weather forecast the night before and plan accordingly. Make the most of light, sunny days.
3. Always have your bag organised and ready to go.
4. Do a little housework each day to avoid it piling up. It may be as simple as putting out the trash or doing a laundry, but will always feel as though you have accomplished something.
5. Keep your bedroom window open a tiny bit (on a secure lock) if safe enough to do so. It makes a difference to your sleep quality and skin will look healthier also.
6. Walk through your local park and listen to the birdsong.
7. Enjoy some window shopping or book browsing.
8. Try a new cafe and enjoy people watching.
9. Eat your greens- salads are delicious and nutritious. Experiment by adding different vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds.
10. Be grateful each day 💕
Very nice, I'll write these down and put on my pinboard 👍
I really respect your decision to keep doing videos in a way that doesn't stress you rather than looking at the monetary aspect. Your videos are always enjoyable, calming and informative. Thank you Benita! Always look forward to watching them and can't wait to see your new home!!
I appreciate that, thank you!
I try to make each little corner of my home happy. I choose joy now, even if everyone else is a grump or they don't like it. Sayin no is huge for me and leaving social media. I only wear the things I truly love and make me feel happy, the rest went. I had a croissant, a little cheese, some tea and some delicious fruit for dinner the other night. It was perfect.
I love it! Thank you for sharing!

I've been subscribed for some time, and I honestly think you are one of my favorite CZcamsrs. Every time you post a video I feel like I'm escaping to a zen place where it's calm, peaceful, and so aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Thank you for inspiring me to keep working on my minimalism journey! ❤
Aww, thank you so much!😊
100% agree with this.
I agree. When I need a calm break, I look for a new video from you!!😃
Dear Benita,
I am so thankful for what you do. Before watching this video I felt extremely miserable and overwhelmed. You are saving lives here, not just people from extensive shopping.
I really enjoyed this video and can’t wait until you move into your new place. I love all of your videos and think it is really nice that you do reply and acknowledge your followers. Thank you for that. All the best and thank you for the wonderful tips on how to enjoy one’s life more.
Benita, yours is the only channel I subscribe to. I binged all your videos at the beginning of March when I was having a really hard time coping with the war in my home country. Thank you for sharing your perspective, your home, and parts of your life. As a minimalist and environmentalist I have learned something in every video and enjoyed them all.
Hello Benita, I recently lost my job, so beside my pain and fear, I try to enjoy my apartment, the nature, because I live close to a forest and myself. Thank you for this video, helps me a lot!❤
I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ve been in that position and it’s hard! I wish you all the best!❤️
This has happened to me too. Finally I saw it as an opportunity to really think about what kind of work I wanted to do and free time to do things in my home that I hadn't got around to. I was fortunate that I had 6 months worth of expenses saved up, though I had to economise a bit. So I counted my blessings (a home,savings, qualifications, health). I wish you luck in getting a better job more suited to you.
I used to be one of those people who wished you posted once a week. But I am slowly learning that more is not always better. I also like that you pretty much respond to every comment and that would be impossible with a weekly video. Quality over quantity 💯.
PS-I can totally relate to the conversation in your head when you wish you would have said…..xyz…for whatever situation happened. I have gotten better because, thankfully, I realize that most times it’s better that I DIDN’T say xyz.
I really appreciate it! And yes, some of those conversations I’ve had in my head should definitely not have been out in the open 😅
@@BenitaLarsson 😅😅
I truly appreciate that you keep to your fortnightly video uploads, or my Tuesday "sessions" with Benita. There is so much out there to watch online, I feel overwhelmed. I enjoy re-watching my favourite videos of creators I like without feeling rushed. The calm I feel during & after each video shows that you too are relaxed in making them, and it comes through. Thank you :)
Oh I am also starting to feel the same way about cooking. I wish we had a Picards downunder.
I’m so happy they bring toy a bit of calm!
I do the same. I watch videos over en over. I love them.
@@ofelia972 agree. That 8 mins or 15 mins video seems much longer when I make a playlist of similar themes.
I'm a CZcams creator also, and my grandson said to me the other day when watching me set up to edit content, "Wow, Meemaw, I thought you just used the camera and it went up to the internet fast..." Uhm, no. LOL... I showed him how long it took to transfer cards from the camera and adjust the mic for voiceovers, and all that. He was shocked. I look forward to the twice monthly content... it's like a lovely surprise!
Haha, there's so much BHTS. Only if you're on CZcams you can understand!😅
It was great to hear from a fellow introvert. Sometimes the rest of the world just doesn't get us. Thanks for sharing.
I am an introvert too. To me, getting out and walking in nature is my greatest solace. I do enjoy a small bunch of flowers too, but sometimes I can only afford spending an extra minute to enjoy them as I am shopping. I like your cloud segments, this is another thing I enjoy, just taking a minute to look up at the sky.
It is the little things!🙌🏻
Knowing your limits is a major key to happiness. I am slowly pulling back and learning to say no and I have noticed a shift in my day to day happiness. I can instantly feel the difference when I take on too much, the overwhelm cuts me down and /I am much less productive then if I had just taken it slow.
Letting go of hurtful feelings made a big improvement in my life. Someone asks me why I let the memory of the deeply destructive things that had been done to me continue to be replayed over and over through thoughts of that harmful person. That was a lightbulb moment. Letting go even had a positive effect on my posture as well as my outlook on life overall. Benita, thank you for your many videos, each one beautiful and inspiring.
Thank you for sharing that!❤️
I will write all these down so I remember them daily. This is simply AMAZING advice for living a happier life at any age! 😊💕🌈
I’m so happy you feel inspired by the video!
Thanks Benita, this is just what I need at the moment. As always, your videos are relaxing, inspiring and uplifting. Especially when I’m feeling like I’ve lost my way a little in life!
I’m glad you feel a tittle inspired!
I really enjoyed this vlog. Our values are similarly aligned. It brings me joy to see these reflected in other people's lives. Being 62 now, I only came to fully understand myself as an introvert and HSP after reading the book Quiet. That I am not alone in my tendencies gives me comfort and confidence. I am much better at knowing what I want, rather than succumbing to what others want. Seeking contented moments in every day is paramount for me. I love all the information you create, and your approach to living and life. Wishing you a beautiful week Benita 🌼
Thank you! Knowing what I need and and want has been a game changer for sure!
Dear Benita! Another great video that acknowledges what I try to achieve to lead a happier life….I definitely like the self reflection you are doing! And that your emphasis is not mainly on the money! So keep on with your good vibes! Cheers from Iris😊
Yes, there are so many opportunities in this realm and I can only take so much on. Thank you!
Thank you. I also try to find things to be grateful for things I see and hear, like a blue jay’s squawk, or an acorn. Time to be grateful has changed my life.
Bird song/talk is pretty amazing, isn’t it?!
this is a beautiful list! You have reached the place in life where you have wisdom and discernment. You know what truly serves you and what causes stress. Resenting other people was one of the first things I decided to let go of. A simple life filled with small pleasures and joys is truly nourishing. Being out in nature regularly is one of the biggest sources of peace for anyone. Thank you for this list. ~Darcy
Good for you for ending the resentment! 🙌🏻
Hello Benita. Great video. Glad to know that you are doing what gives you joy and not overwhelming yourself.
I overdid it a year ago and realized it wasn’t a good way to live😊
Was waiting for your video, I cannot express how much tranquility it brings me
Thanks Benita for awesome content!
Glad you enjoy it!
Peace of mind is priceless!!!
Yes, it really is!
My mantra for life the last few years has been my outer space reflects my inner peace. I love a calm, clean and visually pleasing home. Thank you for your great content and the wait every 2 weeks make your videos even more enjoyable!
I’m so happy you feel like that!
Great things to think about...to step away from what does not make us happy and to allow ourselves to do what gives us joy. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching!
It's nice to hear how your heart and soul are healing :)
💕Thank you Benita! Sometimes we all just need a reminder to not get so caught up in life and the things we can’t change…me too, grudges😅…its so easy to do but, difficult to bypass.
You are the voice of reason! 😉👍🏻
Aww, thank you! / Ex-grudge holder 😅
Like all your followers, I really enjoy your approach to life. I’m an introvert too, but as I have grown older I have become more outgoing, I’ve managed to find a great group of friends and I’m enjoying life more. Like you, I have let go of “the small stuff” (petty annoyances about things I can’t change) and I now focus on the important things in my life (family, friends, happiness). 🤓🇦🇺
That small group of friends is 👌🏻
Hi Benita, I am a fellow INTJ. I grew up in New York, and love the city life. We have similar tastes in many things. I, too, pencil in museum and art events, as well as concerts and food and wine tastings. Add a good dose of nature and cats and that is a very happy life. Always look forward to your wonderful videos. Good luck with the move!
Rare INTJs unite!
I admire you Benita. Not only have I learned a lot from you. I also benefit from the calm and peace that you transmit. Thank you for being a very good role model.
Thank you so much!😊
I try sooo hard to not hold grudges but am not always successful!
It’s hard but such a relief to let things go❤️
Thanks 💖💖💖
Your videos are perfection 👌🏻 I wouldn’t want you to do anything to create burnout. I’m an introvert too. Loved your tips today. ❤
Thank you, that’s so sweet, I really appreciate it!😊
Great list! Letting things go is critical to happiness.
Thank you for reminding me to treat myself today and go buy a few books to enjoy!
Thank you so much for watching!
This video was so relaxing, as well as inspiring. Thanks.
So true! You are an inspiration to me. 🙏
Aww, thank you so much!
Excellent advice!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was raised in a semi minimalist home. I have returned to being minimal after I retired to a small apartment and am really enjoying it. You have been a true inspiration in my journey these last two years. Thank you so much for all you have done and shown on your channel. I look forward to every video.
I’m so happy you enjoy my videos!
Great tips, Benita, thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Simply inspiring- thank you!
Aww, thank you so much!
Great advice.
Glad you like the video!
As usual, your video is always soothing and inspirational. Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching it!
Well done! Good life lessons.
Thank you so much!
Really liked this video. Thanks!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this! Definitely applies to me.
Loves this video. Thanks Benita!
So relaxing to watch.
I agree totally with your ten simple things ! Thank's for the inspiring content !
Thank you so much!
Thank you Benita, thank you.
Beautiful video, thanks Benita.
Thank you.
I love your videos and look forward to Tuesday, release day! Thanks for the inspirational words, always helpful.
I'm so glad you like them!
Your Tuesday video coincides with the week where I work on the most days. The thought of coming home to watch helps get me through the busyness!
Aww, thank you, that makes he happy!
Oh my gosh, this video is so lovely and serene, I could watch forever! Thank you for sharing your sweet home with us Benita. I'm going to buy a wooden brush for my dishes, and can't wait to check out Organic Basics!
Another well thought out video, Benita! Keep them coming - every two weeks is fine for us all!
That’s so sweet, thank you!
Thank you for the insights, Benita! I found something to follow and acknowledged that I am already doing some things, less than I would have hoped. 😊
I enjoy every one of your videos and often watch them more than once since I may have missed a nuance! So, keep making just enough videos that are ok with you -- because that just makes us happy when you do post a new one!
Good advice here. Thanks 👍
Wow, you have the best video skills I have ever seen, love your channel 💕
Aww, thank you, that’s so sweet!😊
Wonderful video.
Thank you so much!
Thankyou So Much
Thank you so much for watching!
Benita, you are the best! 🌷
Aww, thank you so much!😊
Totally agree with you stick to your schedule and what works for you. Thanks for another great video.
Thank you so much!😊
Love watching your videos 🤗
Aww, thank you so much!
This video moved me very much. I think it is one of your best work! Thank you💛
Aww, thank you so much!😊
Your videos are so calming and peaceful…I look forward to every one of them. Thank you. I loved the part on not loving cooking and just accepting the fact that you don’t. I am there with you on that.
Yes, I love that there’s Picard!
Oh - would love a Picard here in the SF Bay Area. This was great Benita. I am taking about 3 months off from work to go through every room and remove all visual clutter, stuff I don't want, need, etc. Wish me luck.
Wow, that’s so cool!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And yes, best of luck!
Love this video and I love the life you made for yourself 🥰 Big thanks for sharing with us
Thank you do much for watching it!😊
I am definitely going to take some of these practices on board.
Point 5 is so relatable!
Thank you so much for watching!
I love ALL of your videos 😍😁, and as much as I would love to see one of your videos I totally understand the amount of time and work that goes into making a video of excellent quality. They truly are a treat ☺️. Loved your list and I especially appreciated how open and honest you were about how you have held grudges and how they didn't bring you any joy. I am so looking forward to seeing your new apartment ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
Thank your! I’m so excited to move!
Benita, I love that you know what is best for you. Making videos IS a lot of work behind the scenes. I always enjoy your videos when they come out. Waiting every other week makes it that much more to look forward to because I know they will be wonderful!
Aww, thank you! I’m glad you feel that way!
I loved this video! I will definitely be watching this video more than once since it really speaks to my own desire to live a more enjoyable life.
I’m so happy you find it useful!
Fantastic! Love all your points!! the last one was the best! For many, many reasons. Love it! X Melbourne Australia
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Benita!
Greetings from Vancouver. 😊
I came across one of your videos about 3 days and now I can't stop watching them. They are incredibly well produced, and I want to incorporate more hygge into my life too. Watching your videos brings me to a peaceful state of mind. Thanks a lot for sharing your lifestyle and tips with us.
An excellent video this week. Your schedule is perfect, l look forward to it popping up x
So happy to hear you enjoyed it!
love it, I've been watching your videos for long time but never thought to write a comment , well done I love your style and calm, thank you
Thank you for sharing this video, I always feel calm and ready for a weekend after I watched your video. I am like you, like my house clean simple, and with bits and pieces of fresh elements that I purchase from places that I enjoy spending time in. Yes, these little things in life do bring such serendipity to my life.
I love, I love and I love! What great ideas! Thank you for sharing! 🤍
Durante esta semana he tenido mucha actividad y queria ver tu video con calma y disfrutarlo al maximo. Asi que, aqui estoy, 7 de la mañana de un sabado tomando un cafe caliente mientras mis hijos duermen disfrutando de tu video. Me ha encantado. Tu canal siempre sera el mejor para mi. ❤
You give us plenty to think about for two weeks, it’s a perfect schedule. Thanks for your inspiration, particularly with this video. It’s brilliant. Hugs to M&B. Good luck with all things moving. 🌻
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Benita beautiful and inspiring.
Thank you so much!
Magic advice 🎉
So much inspiration, Benita 💚 Your videos are a joy, and this one's right up there! Oh, and I was fascinated, watching and studying all the different shoes walking by 😛
So happy you enjoyed it!
Thanks!
Aww, thank you so much!🌲
This is a great video Benita. Words of wisdom and I identify a lot with it. Your videos to me bring me a sense of joy, and although I am not a minimalist I find your channel inspiring. Thank you for the content you create, it’s great!
I’m so happy you enjoy it!
Very happy for you that you make a conscious decision to not hold grudges and feel more joyful. You are right, the other person does not remember or understand why and how he-she might have hurt you. Although, I would add that if there is something really hurtful, its best to be upfront about it and clear the air in a mindful transparent fashion. Love your videos and I command the courage that you have in opening up to us. 🥰
I like when she said put yourself in their shoes...if we can understand their perspective it makes it easier to forgive , here is a proverb: 'the insight of a man certainly slows down his anger, and it is beauty on his part to overlook a transgression' 😊
I swear I am you and you are me… a Sagittarius ♐️ at heart! Thank you Benita for keeping it real! Love you and your content and can’t wait to see your new place!😘
Keep doing what you're doing Benita and I'll keep watching. I enjoy your content and so love when you are out and about and I get to see the area you live in. I'm looking forward to seeing your new place and it's surrounding area too. You calm me with your lovely voice and videos. Take care until the next time, much love from Scotland.
I can’t wait to share my new place and neighborhood!
Wonderful video and great advice. I too am introverted and you’ve given me some things to think about! 💕
I’m happy if you found some takeaways in the video!
There is much wisdom in this video. I also find your videos beautifully done and visually appealing. I am looking forward to following along as you move and decorate your new space. You have also influenced my “style” for the better.
Aww, thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Really enjoyed this video so relaxing
I follow the same points as well
No negativity
Yes to no negativity!🙌🏻
Thank you for this great video! As an introvert I found myself giggling a few times as I can relate to many of the things you mentioned! I’m always looking to make things less stressful and these were great ideas!
I’m so happy you liked it!
I just loved these ideas. Some of them I do, but many I don't and would benefit from. I particularly loved no.10 -- much as I'd love weekly videos, I'd rather have you stay happy and enjoying your CZcams life than burning out and giving it up. Your whole attitude to life, as summed up in these points, is so balanced. Most CZcamsrs seem to aim for life lived at breakneck speed: yours is more what the Benedictines described as "an ordinary life lived extraordinarily well" -- and apparently 147K of us are here for it.
Thank you, I love the Benedictine’s quote!
I love your videos, and seeing your life perspective. I could watch you daily ♥️, but want you to do you. Always a fan!
That’s so sweet, thank you!
Dear Benita: Thank you for uploading this video, I was anxiously waiting for it. It is important to reflect on our way of living or how our thoughts affect us. It is very generous of you to share your reflections. Greetings from Bolivia.
Thank you so much!😊
