Sometimes I wonder if we've forgotten how to live.

Now we have more conveniences than ever before, yet we're constantly running out of time.

More entertainment than we could ever consume, and yet somehow still feel like something is missing.

We're more connected than ever, yet so many of us feel disconnected from the world right in front of us.

And the strangest part is that so much of this has become normal that we rarely stop to question it.

I mean, who has the time, right?

Well, I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

Last year, I started writing a book on intentional living.

I've written hundreds of scripts on this topic before, so if anything, I could just compile all the materials and wrap a big bow around it.

But after spending far too many weeks trying to stitch it all together, I had to face the real reason why it wasn't progressing.

For years, I've been answering the question, what can I live without?

But I was leaving out the second half of that question.

What makes life worth living? And what does

that mean to me now as a 36 year old compared to the 30 year old who started this YouTube channel?

This wasn't something I was going to figure out sitting behind a desk.

And I thought maybe I needed to stop writing about intentional living

and actually go out and live it and what better way to do

that than a road trip five countries a few weeks away from our usual routines isn't

this exactly the kind of experience we've been saving up for so we packed up our bags and started our journey

first stop vienna the beauty of vienna kind of hits you hard.

You can see that for centuries people have put extraordinary care into ordinary things,

like turning something as simple as a doorknob or a fountain into an art piece.

Nowadays we're so used to measuring the value of something by how useful it is or how much time it saves us,

and I've talked a lot about this in my minimalism videos too, but Vienna challenged that perspective.

Because when something is truly beautiful, it moves us.

It becomes something worth cherishing and preserving.

Somewhere between the Gothic churches and the beautifully curated gardens,

I was also reminded that I am in charge of making my own life as beautiful as I want.

Whether it's drinking coffee from my favorite ceramic, or creating my outfit of the day,

or filling my home with that perfect warm orange glow in the evenings.

Not beauty defined by someone else's standards, but beauty that feels meaningful to me.

And speaking of life's essentials, a good apple strudel with a side of vanilla ice cream might be just one of them too.

Thank you so much to DJI for sponsoring today's video.

When I was planning this trip, I knew I wanted to capture as much as possible,

So I was really excited when DJI reached out and asked me to try their new Osmo Pocket 4P.

It's the perfect travel camera because it's compact, practical, and literally fits in my coat pocket.

So let's unbox it together and I'll show you some of my favorite features.

I got the standard bundle in pearl white and everything comes in this cute little pouch.

Inside, you'll find the camera, the fill lights for the evening shots, a USB cable, and a little handle.

I really appreciate that it has two lenses with different focal lengths,

so whether I'm filming a wide shot of a beautiful cityscape or zooming in to capture the little details,

I can do it all with one device.

And the image quality?

Clean and crisp.

Plus, the built -in gimbal keeps the footage very smooth.

speaking of compact even has a built -in storage

so i don't have to worry about carrying around extra memory cards with me

so if you are looking for a compact camera for traveling

or for everyday filming definitely check out the dji osmo pocket 4p let's go

and film with it now we are in budapest

and we're gonna go and explore today it's such a beautiful day again i'm just getting really blessed with the weather.

There's so much life just outside the doors.

We're staying at the Jewish Quarter.

Can't wait to explore!

For the duration of the trip, I decided to take some time off of YouTube.

At first, I was in my head about the inconsistent income, the engagement of the channel, and all these made -up numbers.

But the more that I sat with it, I could hear my own voice yelling at me.

I've been doing this for six years.

I've saved up and worked to free up my time, and for what?

If I can't give myself permission to go out and enjoy life, what was all of this for?

And I see this all around me.

My peers, friends, and family.

We're so used to putting off enjoying life until we feel like we've met some arbitrary deadlines.

But will that day really come?

Or is it just a narrative that we keep telling ourselves?

Maybe we've forgotten that we don't need permission to enjoy.

We are doing a dinner river cruise in Budapest and we're just passing the parliament. So beautiful.

So yeah, we bar hopped the ruined bars, wandered around the city at night and ended the trip with an evening cruise along the Dinoo.

Because we're 36 in Budapest, only once.

We just checked out of our Airbnb in Budapest

and now we're heading to Kratislava and we're stopping on the way to one of the lakes called Tata Castle.

That's where the castle is.

My husband and I love road trips, mainly because it's easier with the dogs,

but I really love the feeling of the open road ahead of us.

We pass by a lot of tunnels, semi -trucks, cows, storms, little towns,

and to be honest, a whole lot of nothing.

And it's funny because we say smart things like it's all about the journey, not the destination.

But I don't think we talk about the fact that the journey is usually a whole lot of nothing.

Waking up, going to work, groceries, and cooking.

That's 99 % of it.

And we blame social media for creating unrealistic expectations of life.

But I think this was always the case we as a society put

so much emphasis into the one percent like graduations and weddings

and vacations that it's easy to let our whole lives pass us by welcome to slovakia we're in bratislava

sure the tunnels the semi trucks the cows were not as exciting as exploring the beautiful old town of bratislava

but even passing through the nothingness i was next to my husband

my dogs in the back made me realize that it's enough just to be there for it

we are at the design show in prague right now and it's huge there's just so many cool exhibitions

and so cool to see different people doing different things

the thing that's really cool about design shows like this is

that you get a little glimpse into other people's worlds what they're interested in their personal style their unique vision

and what they want to put out into the world

you guys know i spent years trying to simplify my life

and decluttering forces you to ask a pretty important question what no longer belongs in my life

but after going through all that decluttering cleansing resetting whatever you want to call it,

I realized that there's another question that's just as important.

What do I want to bring into my life?

Because whether we realize it or not, we're always consuming something.

The things that we buy, the places we visit, what we read, what we watch, the people we surround ourselves with.

100

And all those little choices eventually shape the world that we live in.

101

The tricky part is that nowadays there's always someone telling us what to buy, where to go, and what to be interested in.

102

And some of those recommendations are great, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're right for us.

103

And I think that's something we can only figure out by experiencing things for ourselves.

104

Discovering what we love and what we couldn't care less about.

105

And slowly, we get to know ourselves a little better.

106

and speaking of one of the things

107

i love a dear friend flew all the way to see me in prague we ended our time there giggling

108

and talking the night away first day in berlin

109

i am all bundled up it's freezing outside even though it's really sunny uh

110

we're gonna take the dogs for a really long walk uh since it's one of the nicer days

111

that we're gonna have can't wait to explore the city my babies are ready are you ready

112

and then here we were in berlin i'll be honest i didn't really know what to expect from berlin

113

the creativity and the alternative culture i heard

114

so much about were everywhere on the sides of the buildings out on the streets

115

and it wasn't all beautiful nor did it make sense but it didn't have to.

116

Here I am living a pretty unconventional life myself and who am I to say what someone else's should look like?

117

And isn't that the beauty of self -expression?

118

It doesn't have to make sense to anyone else but ourselves.

119

And what is an alternative lifestyle anyways?

120

Alternative to what? it.

121

I guess the same could be said about what makes life worth living.

122

I spent this entire trip trying to put it neatly into words, as if there's only one right answer.

123

But maybe I've been asking the wrong question.

124

Maybe it's not about what makes life worth living, but how we can make our lives worth living.

125

Not just once, but over and over again.

126

Sometimes, the things that once mattered so much to us might not matter anymore.

127

Relationships change, priorities shift.

128

We find ourselves asking these questions all over again.

129

We don't always get to choose what happens to us, or how the world changes around us.

130

But we can keep choosing how we live through it all.

131

i came home to three thousand something emails and

132

that same blank google doc staring back at me

133

and yep the trip was absolutely worth having to deal with this

134

but hey i think i finally figured out how to write a book one word at a time

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
