Joy: Cultivating Happiness | Back to Basics

Your channel is saving my life. Thank you for that.

Great points... I keep a list of little things I love to do (e.g. walking barefoot in the grass, making a snowball...) & when need a kick, I pick one item from that list and I do it. It solves many problems 😊

1.human connection 2.following ur passion 3.enganging five senses 4.exercise 5.humor focus on little joys in life

Another category for me is nature. I find the purest moments can be when it's quiet and you can really take in the colors around you and breathe fresh air

btw I love your hair, makeup, and outfit in this vid Aileen! You are seriously so pretty!

so happy i've found your channel. it is helping me from getting out of my depression. love you. ❤

You're literally my psychologist. Thank you, muchas gracias! Greatings from Spain xx

Keeping a journal of grateful moments is a great way to enjoy life

Your back to basics series just come as a coincidence to me because I've been suffering from depression. Thanks so much for reminding me that happiness can come from very simple things around us. Love ya!

I had a coach who said "Enthusiasm is contagious" all the time! I think what you said about joy being contagious is so true and another reason why surrounding yourself with people who share their joys and passions with you is so important :)

One of my resolutions is to do more things that make me happy. Which got me to ask myself well, what makes me happy? So I started paying attention and writing a list when something made me smile or laugh. Now even the list makes me smile. Joy can be found all around you. You just have to train yourself to look for it and when some days it is harder than others, you can go to your list. At least it's what I do. :)

I recently found your channel through a suggestion from shameless maya and I'm so thankful that I did! I'm going through postpartum depression and I'm binge watching all of your videos. They are really boosting my mood and helping tremendously. You're such a breath of fresh air. Thank you for creating such positive content 💖

Thank you. I love the idea of writing a list of things that make me feel alive and then seeking those things.

I needed this today. Thank you! Off to my journal right now!

Your videos are a limitless source of happiness.

You spread joy,Lav and I seriously mean it.I love you very much.😘😘😘😘

I love this series!

My most recent pure joy moment was last Friday night when I went on stage for the first time of my life to sing and dance. It was the final show of a one-week Glee bootcamp where we learned the songs and dancing moves. I had hesitated a lot before signing up because I was scared and I've never sung in public but my beautiful person encouraged me + you guys on the Lavendaire Facebook Page helped me make up my mind as well. I've rarely ever felt this happy, I didn't expect to feel so much excitement and happiness, I couldn't stop smiling during the whole thing. It was PURE JOY.

you're so beautiful inside and out and ahhh I love your videos so much. they make me so very happy. I'm always in such a better mood after watching them and I just wanted you to know that your positivity makes me really happy and at peace :)

im thankful that i found this channel, so that everytime i feel down, i can watch her video and feel great again abt my self, bless you aileen😭 u r so inspiring
