@IamDaria

Hello friends,

I wanted to make a video about being a low-energy person for a while, but I feel like I can’t always carry my thought across too well. I’ve always known I’ve been a lower energy person, but so happened in life that I haven’t really had a chance to embrace it. I think being very active, hustling, social has become my coping mechanism, basically making it impossible to be with myself fully, process my thoughts and strive in this fabricated personality that I had, when I was younger. I won’t go into detail here, but I did come to conclusion that part of that personality has been a sort of trauma response.
I was afraid of being undeserving, thinking that if I hustle more, that will somehow make me “enough”. I was always (and still sometimes am) afraid to come off as “lazy”, “unmotivated”, “unsuccessful”, and I did everything I could to not seem that way, burning out in my mid 20s. Which in turn led me here, where I am right now.
I learned that being naturally calm & low energy isn’t bad. It doesn’t mean “unproductive”, “lazy”, “unmotivated”. In fact, it still takes me exactly same amount of time to do things I want, but.. without burning out. I’m still often busy. I still want many things too. Life is still fast quite often. But I give myself time when I need it. And come back stronger after I had time to take care of myself. I learned to appreciate my low energy personality and days when I want to just exist, as that is my body’s way of telling me to slow down. Sometimes we all need it.

Are you a naturally low or high energy person? I'm curious to know your opinion on this!

@jess53nz

I think this is one on my absolute favourites of your videos! I could be biased by loving gardening and cats🐈‍⬛. 😂
Can't wait to see that rose in summer! 🌹

Are you me? Lol I'm also a raw-apple avoider, but loooove them cooked. Your cat looks just like my tiny grey girl who we sadly had to put to sleep yesterday. Her name was Sasha, she was 9 years old and we only just found out she had cancer and it was too late to do anything for it 💔 RIP my sweet girl. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for grey cats (all but one of my cats has been grey!)  🤍🤍🤍

I have always been a low energy person having persuaded myself...and others... that I was 'lazy' until I saw your video!...Now that I come to think of it I find out that I have accomplished so many things in my life almost always the hard way and through hard work!❤👑🌹

I was born with juvenile arthritis and asthma, so I learned early on how to live a slow life. I wake up early, eat a good breakfast, and read a book off and on throughout my days off of work. Each time I get up to make a new cup of tea or tinkle, I make a point to do a small chore. Laundry, dishes, etc. I even decide to tidy one room of my home and tackle it a little at a time with small breaks. Everything gets done, just not by noon. It would drive my mother nuts when I was a kid, but it works for me. ❤😊 keep being you

@ChannelYasmine

Your videos are so well-made and so soothing. It is with great pleasure that I watch them. Thank you for this beautiful work of art❤

@allisonc9645

What you said about not rushing the season or wanting winter to be done and spring to be here really hit me.  I want to rush past or thru the seasons of my life that aren't going well but I really just should embrace them and not wish away the lessons to be learned in them.  Thank you.

@Paulhtubb

Such beautiful scenic cinematography.

Such a pleasant way to enjoy my morning coffee ☕

@almounasaddiyeh8685

How beautiful to the eyes and soothing to the soul. Thanks ❤

@EnricaM-d2w

You'll never know how much I needed this video. Thank you

@Nila0608

Dear Daria, I am also a laid back low key person who loves to simply just BE! And ever since I realised that, I am doing my best towards a calm soft life! I think it all comes to identifying the rhythm of our body and working accordingly. I have also felt many times I am at my best when alone!

And this video came at the right time! All your resonating messages, the video clips, the dessert, everything seems beautiful to me! ❤

@angelagrimes8237

Wow! I have been heard and seen in your words. I am so grateful for your thoughts and how much they resonate with me.  Yesterday I took the day and off and just read, did some art, listened to quiet music and rested most of the day.  Then I made homemade soup and dinner rolls and was very happy.  Thank you for sharing!  Hugs

@Auntie7024

Your videos are very calming.  I appreciate your honesty and opening up about being an introvert and loving a slower way of living. It's okay to step away from all the busyness and to be your authentic self. Your baked apples looked delicious and so cozy for the next days breakfast. Take care. See you again soon.  ❤

@FilmFanization

thank you so much for this lovely video!
Your house must have smelled amazing after baking the apples!
It looks delicious! I am going to try it!

@manuelajochum3202

I‘m just so happy that I found you here on YouTube last year! I get so much joy and peace from every single one of your beautiful videos. And as a very intoverted person myself it’s just nice to know I‘m not the only one out there ☺️ 
Best wishes,
Manuela

@Beatlettetheone

Those apples looks so yummy!

@Isabellekaterina

You have inspired me to work towards this life. I have always loved the English Countryside and always wanted to move there. Your content is peaceful and serene. ❤️

@ellenkoen1500

Hello Daria, it's so good for my soul to see your videos with 'slow' content. It makes me so happy and peaceful, find myself breathing in a right way!
You're such a creative person, it motivates to pick up a hobby when i feel no energy at all. And i also like doing 'nothing', just trying to be with some tea or coffee and look out the window to watch the birds. I sometimes struggle if i'm enough and  I need to take time to recharge my battery. My head gets clearer then and i feel some peace! Looking forward to your next video 🧡

@vlad-mundi

I always find it amusing that you're saying that the days are cold and gloomy, yet you manage to create such a beautiful atmosphere which brings pure joy and soothes the heart and soul. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and we are blessed to witness the world through yours :)
Love this video and found very funny the instructions to "play with the cat" whilst something is cooking 😂
Also that silly jump of his at around 14:18 looked so funny!
Lovely video as always! Well done and thank you for continuing making them! ❤
