A very belated happy birthday Marloes! 🎂 I'm late to the party but I love this list and am going to try very hard to put No12 into practice as I find this time of year very difficult.
Happy birthday Marloes! Thanks for sharing your list, so much wisdom all in one place. I’m nodding in agreement at many hard won lessons & learning some new.
Thank you so much for these beautiful words. First of all, happy birthday! I hope it was a good one.
Second of all, #34 gave me little tears of joy because I wanted to hear from someone else that slowing down is extremely crucial in life. I am still working on breaking the cycle of toxic productivity in my life and this was the perfect reminder for me on a challenging day like I had today. I think I will come back to this post several times in my life. It was that good.
Thank you, Mansi, that's really lovely to hear. I'm breaking away from toxic productivity too. Slowly, but I'm getting there. I find it odd now that productivity and accelerating in higher and higher gears are still being applauded so much. I wish we'd applaud rest more.
Happy birthday and long and happy and bountiful life to all us 1984 and around peeps. We deserve a hug: between climate, financial and social crisis, wars and more, we are doing well no matter what. I’ll treasure these 40 soft commandments that are a true wellness and self love hymn and I’m going to read them again when needed, thank you for sharing them with us!!!!
Wow mooi omschreven en nog gefeliciteerd, dankjewel voor de tips (ook al ben ik inmiddels al 50)
Beautiful advice ! Inspires me to do the same
Please do! I think, the more sharing, the better :)

Thanks Lizzie! This time a year can indeed be difficult. I hope you can be kind to yourself!
Thanks very much Marloes, have to say I didn't see the toothbrush advice coming but you are right. Marjolijn
Hahaha sometimes it's just a very practical tip ;)
This was a much-needed dose of comfort today! Thank you, I also hope your birthday was filled with joy and laughter x
Thank you Holly! That's lovely to hear :)

Thanks Rachel! It takes time to understand life, doesn't it? So much to learn still though!
Always! 😅
Wat een waardevolle post! Hopelijk had je een gezellige dag, ondanks dat je niet zo hecht aan je verjaardag 😊
Bedankt Caroline! Het was een dagje met een interview en pannenkoeken op het eind :)

Hello ! I randomly came across your post and I'm thankful to you for penning down the wisdom that you've gained over the years. It was lovely 🌹
Pleased to hear you enjoyed that!
Happy birthday Marloes! #35 really resonated with me today. Wonderful lessons overall!
Thanks Carolyn! Really pleased to hear that and I'm happy you've spent a bit of time and attention to me ;)
Happy belated birthday! 💐😺✨I needed to read #33 today!
Thanks Beth! 'No' is a deliciously positive word, don't you think? :)

What a lovely comment, thank you! It pleases me that my words are comforting to you.
This is just brilliant! I am 20 years older than you and still learning some of these things - it should be a poster given to all creatives!
I am sure you have others I could learn from! :D I love what you share, I get so much from that.
Aww thankyou so much Marloes! :)
Happy Birthday! Thank you. An inspiring list. Something we can all connect too.
Thank you Emma!
