1. Please like this video and share a simple habit that has changed YOUR life! ???? > 5 Messy Habits to Stop RIGHT NOW: https://youtu.be/d4tSvbqCzmE

2. Cooking with the freshest ingredients is also an Italian/French/Spanish habit. We shop everyday for fruits, greens, vegetables even if we have perfectly normal-sized fridges. Fresh just tastes diffrent and is much healthier.
   Taking your time to eat is also an Italian/French/Spanish habit. We never eat/drink on the go. Sitting around a table and eating slowly is just part of the quality of life (and helps digest).
   Removing shoes at the door is requested in Northern Europe and is quite widespread in other parts of Europe (not the southern part tough where the floor are usually tiled).

3. Fabulous video Marissa!
   My culture shares many if not all of the same practice's you mentioned.

4. Great video! Japan and China have such rich cultures!! Great to see a fellow Hoosier (I'm from Westfield)!

5. I have been going out regularly at 12:34 and i go for a walk and write on my laptop while i am on a walk

6. Another great and helpful video – thank you so much dear Marissa! ????
   Talking about collecting herbs ???? in the woods, may I ask, have you heard of Giersch, also called Romans spinach in German? These greens grow almost everywhere, like dandelions, you could collect Giersch like wild onions and use them in baozi or lasagna or as side dish to fried eggs. Besides it is available almost all year long ???? I have a small corner with Giersch in my garden and I love cooking it once a week, tasty and healthy ♥️ hehe and for free ????

7. My turkish husband habit: throw no bread crumbs on the ground, it brings bad luck, because you don't honor the food.
   My german habit: don't bring the garbage out at sundays, because this is the still slow down day.

8. I really do appreciate your content and find it very useful.

   The leg moving thing however serves a physical purpose: it increases the blood flow slightly and thus delivers more oxygen to places of oxygen shortage. This would typically be the brain. You can observe this a lot in school or university, when there's a lecture. Your brain simply tries to stay focused. It is definitely not a bad thing, but it irritates some people around you.

9. The leg jittering is stimming on lots of occasions. Xxx

10. Ventilating the house is important in all of continental Europe as well ???? same with cooking and buying fresh food

11. I'm an Asian and yeah we do all of it. ❤

    I can never understand wearing shoes in the house when I was in USA.

    Giving your video a like because you said remove shoes.

    & You pronounced Yang correctly!!! ????????????

14. Glad you didn’t only mean east Asia when you titled it Asia. Almost all you said also apply to West Asian cultures. Unfortunately in North America people think Asia is just east Asia. West and south and east Asia have a lot in common traditionally and culturally but also many differences.

15. Putting my kitchen to bed at night is a habit that I’ve learned benefits morning me more than anything else. I clean the kitchen well. Loading the dishwasher, making sure everything washable is off of the stove and counters, pots and pans dried and put away, degreased cook top etc. I’m always so happy to have a clean space when I wake up in the morning to make breakfast. It’s a habit that if I compromise on, I’m ALWAYS regretful the next day.

16. I think this might be the 2nd or 3rd comment I have ever wrote on YouTube. Hello from California, my Brother in law is Taiwanese and my sister and I are Mexican-American. Thanks to my German Friend We lived with many many years ago, we now have that tradition and take our shoes off as we enter our home. My girls are small and already know that at our house and their Nina and uncle’s house same rules apply. My husband is the crazy door and window opener here ????also my German Friend taught us to never sit in our beds with our day clothes, that was a no no. I love to learn helpful and positive things to apply to my daily life. Always room for improvement.

    Also, I’m on my own slow journey to let go of things. I am too an emotional hoarder. I lost my Mother at 15 and my little sister was only 7 (just us too) we didn’t have our Dad he too had passed. So my mother’s older brother took us in (our uncle and aunt) (blessed their hearts❤) they are wonderful. We didn’t have much growing up but we were happy kids. A week after my mom passed we left our family home (we only took some of our clothes with us) In college I learned that the little I had I held on to and accumulated things over time. I guess I was secretly afraid of letting my things go. It’s been a true journey for me to let go of sentimental things little by little. Even my girls stuff I wanted to sometimes just keep it all for memory sake (but no.) Letting things go (not all , but most) in a way it helps my soul feel more liberated. My sister doesn’t have this problem. In fact she lives very minimalist too and is always traveling the world. Seems I have the emotional hoarding problem only, so I’m a work in progress. Anyway, thank you for all that you do and share with the world. Glad there are wonderful and inspiring people just like you, I admire you, blessings????

17. I learnt hiw to make momos (essentially Nepalese dumplings) from scratch in Nepal and there is no going back to store-bought. The taste is worth the effort!

18. as an asian, i seriously can't fathom the idea of having outdoor shoes / footwear inside the house. i am glad that wearing slippers inside the house is part of my culture.

19. removing the shoes when entering home is something I really appreciate though I still see it difficult to implement in a countryside house where you live inside as much as outside. it is more suited for a urban appartment life. Anyway, it is a very nice thing to have, together with a clutter free entryway (the whole house should be clutter free).

    Ventilating the house, funny that you say it is an Asian thing as at home, I am the one who always want to open windows while the Asian one is my wife… Our bathroom and kitchen windows have not been closed for years… (we live in a tropical climate where it is never cold… ???? )

20. Loved this video! Thanks for sharing.

21. About slow eating, there is always a matter of a mood at the table. Dinner (or any other meal) is a time, when you're eating, communicating, enjoying the food and the company; not scolding, lecturing, quarrelling, confronting. Don't bring your problems to the table and don't put them in others' plates. Find some plausible topic or just SHUT UP!
