How I train my mind to be peaceful - simple practices for a simple life

Thank you for being here.

I chuckled when you made these lovely cookies, which in my native country of Switzerland are called "Spitzbuebe." Translated into English that means " naughty boys." They are so pretty and you can make them in all shapes and forms for different occasions. I typically bake them for Christmas, but have created them in heart shape for a funeral and of course for Valentine's day. I usually sprinkle the powdered sugar on the tops only, so the raspberry jam stays nice and red. After living in the US for 49 years, I still love to bake the Spitzbuebe my Mom used to bake. Your videos are so beautiful and calming. I just received your book and enjoyed reading about the 4 seasons. Living in the Deep South for many years, I truly missed fall and winter. Now I enjoy walking through the woods again, especially on a cold winter day. Sadly, my Labrador just recently died, and my walks aren't the same anymore. But we have to adjust to changes in our lives. Thank you for sharing your life with this community. I am so happy for you that you will have a wee little one to share all your wisdom with.

❤❤❤ much love thank you for reminding me to enjoy every moment!!! Appreciate you

Great video. your calming voice is very therapeutic to me. Gracias❤Edith

I woke up one early morning to see a similar rainbow.... I was amazed! it was brilliant; I got up and took a few pictures too. And then it happened again. .... It just made me very happy. :)

I’ve only just found your channel. It is beautiful ❤

I always think of Pollyanna when I see crystals and rainbows 🌈

I must say I love how soothing and calming your videos are!... I really enjoy watching them in the evening... by the way the cookies were so pretty and yet they looked so delicious!❤

What a lovely video.

Thankyou Paola! Watching your videos help with my stress as being a Supervisor. You’re very calming to my ears. You’re such an inspiration!

Awww my dream is to live in a cottage house , slowed and peaceful life 💙💗

I live in Florida so we have little or no winter.
When we were quarantined for COVID though I had to learn to be by myself ,& it was a big change.

So beautiful video.💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

I’ve reached my limit today, and was desperate for some comfort for my stress is taking over my life. I’m losing hair and sleep over things I cannot change. I’ve spent the last 20 minutes crying and rewatching your video. I’m so grateful to have found it. You’ve really calmed my soul. Thank you ❤

You are a great example of seeking peace. I actually wrote a book called Peace Management. I am a nurse, and retired professor, and do understand the neural plasticity. You are spot on. It is definitely a process, but one worth pursuing.

How beautiful, a wonderfully relaxing moment. You are truly a beautiful soul. You have given me a good start to the day xx

Hello there Cottage Fairy. Thank you. In this crazy , broken world , it's just nice to listen to your soothing voice. We need more genuine , peaceful , decent human beings in this day and age. Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace , and He loves you immensely , more than you or I can understand. I wish you peace and happiness. It's obvious you have good parents. I'm sure your parents are proud of how you have developed into a very nice young lady. PS - I understand the snow , as I live in Vermont. ✝️♥️👍

We are slowly coming into Autumn here in the Uk and not much of a summer, though the next few weeks bring a glimmer of sunshine hope. Last year I took up embroidery and I’m pretty good at some of it, teaching myself and can draw designs on fabric with heat erase fabric pens. I find autumn/winter sun though a low and if it gets in my face can give me migraines so I’m careful to try not to do that. But I also love reading and need to get back into it since last years month and a half of migraines ( menopausal now on medication : not HRT coz of migraines but sorted out). I do read on kindle but also love books and trying to get into Anne of Green gables perfect for when October comes about and I’m sure I will still be reading it then. I don’t set book targets anymore just to read books and more than one a year is good for me x

Hello from.turkey

Your videos are so therapeutic. I love them.

Thank you for this video. You inspire me so much.

Dear Paola, I had an epiphany while watching this video! I have been hard on myself this year, telling myself I haven't grown or progressed or done enough. That I've wasted my time on social media and other distractions and held myself back that way. And although it is true that I would like to spend my time more thoughtfully, I don't deserve (nor is it effective!) to shame myself about these habits which kept me alive during a very bleak time. Plus, I have actually learned and grown a TON in terms of my compassion for myself and others and finding ways to choose gentleness as much as possible!! I love your videos and I am so incredibly grateful to be able to connect with someone who values many of the same things I do while still showing that you have bad days and times when you can't show up in the ways that you wish you could too.
