This was very comforting and gave me hope. Thank you. Losing my child a year ago has been the hardest struggle to endure. Faith, family, friends, and grief counseling helped me over the darkest days.

I told myself that I don't eat fast food and that's how I saved my first $1000!

❤

I’m 71 live alone have a 12 inch tree a few things family heirlooms. Quit buying all kinds of stuff for my kids and grandkids. One gift. I’m on a fixed income. Within my budget

Thank you 😊

Beautiful presentation! Even for us guys there are lots of good tips in this video. Glad I watched it!

I know mom is smiling down upon you and is so proud. Another great video. Love you bunches.

What lessons have you carried through your life that you learned from your mom?

Such an important and valuable message you shared today! Your love and respect for your mother shines through in this video. I’m sure she is so proud of you! ❤

I enjoy your channel so much! - Belinda

No Amazon Prime. It's never been something I'm interested in. I get enough to get free shipping and still get most things within a couple days

I needed this. Our family is being hit from every angle. Thank you.

Loved this! - Belinda

My mom passed away on Christmas Day. I made the decision that I wouldn't let that affect any Christmas es to come.❤

I will add some of your books to my TBR list. One of my favorite books is cutting for stone.

It is amazing that this video popped up for me today. Thank you!

Another great video! Thanks for sharing this with us (me). Great selection of reading material!

I liked your video self help not my thing anymore I read the Bible . I will read home from Holly Springs thanks for sharing . Your videos are refreshing 😍 .

I probably listen to 50 audiobooks a year free from my library. Early retiree as well. I loved Psychology of Money and Revitalizing Retirement though I consume much more entertainment fiction than informative non than I used to. Thank you!

I almost didn't watch this, although I love your videos, but wow! I'm so glad I did!!! It was great! I have health coached for many, many years and love motivating people, and this really motivated me. Thank you! I share your videos with one of my groups and I am going to propose we do an online book club for 2025....with some of your suggestions! TH-cam, once again, is so wrong!

How many books do you read a year?

I have a problem with thinking every self help book is going to be a magic bullet, which I know isn’t true but I am always hoping I am going through a lot in my life right now. I am reading Norman Vincent Pearles , The Power of positive thinking right now so I am going to order the book that you recommended of his and also the tennis book and Daring Greatly. Thanks for sharing, I am a big reader and have to hold a real book in my hands.

Hi Carrie from Yorkshire England. Yes your video was great. I love books, always have done and always will.

You just came up= on my feed. Like you, I have stopped doing some of the items on your list and planned on doing others. It’s the season to enjoy family and friends.

I have recently rediscovered my love of reading. As someone with many responsibilities, I made the mistake of thinking it was too lavish of a treat to sit with a cup of tea and a good book. I now view reading as essential to my health and well-being. I'm simply a better person when I take time to enjoy reading. I read all types of books. I'm always looking for reading recommendations. Yes, TH-cam was wrong! Loved this video! Will be purchasing some of your suggested books today.

Im also buying each kid and grandkids 3 gifts each insread of 30! I already told them all. 3 items on my brunch table this of 10-12. I plan on having a low stress holiday with tons of peace and joy.🎉

This year I'm putting way less christmas decor and not putting all the kiddish sentimental items out😢 SIMPLIFY!

Carrie, you've given me some food for thought . . . and speaking of food for thought, please share your "healthy Christmas cookie" recipes with us! Hard to find any that are not keto-inspired (the sweeteners cause me problems.) Thank you!

I would love it if you could do a video specifically on overcoming the victimhood mentality. After over a decade of chronic health issues, I have found myself in a pity party, poor me attitude, and I recently realized how much it’s working against me. I want to figure out how to become empowered, after feeling powerless feels like a large feet. Any insight you can give on the topic I would love. Love your channel and your wisdom! Also, any videos on how you regained yourself and your life after being sick would be a blessing to me.

Setting boundaries saved my sanity. As a Christian it was difficult for me to step out of some relationships that were so draining and occupying my mental state nonstop. Stepping away and praying for those individuals every time I think of them has saved me. I could not be what they wanted or needed and stay healthy myself. Boundaries are NOT FAILING. Thank you for this video.

Simple & Elegant - love this!! ❤

I'm feeling a huge shift away from the commercialized holidays. It would take me 3 days to put up all the decorations. Then I'm expected to do my mom's and grandma's house. It's just too much, and it's just as tiring to take it all down. With social media telling you you need a whole different setup every year...😮 Women have so much on their plate already, it just needs to be simple again ❤

are the Hoka's really comfortable? I want to get a walking pad, do they really help? I do Walk at home but walking in place doesn't seem as productive as taking actual steps. What do you think? And why compression socks?

What a great encouraging message. You've got big sis challenged and thinking I can do this. Love you bunches.

I love winter! It gives me time to dive in to me and my needs

Dad thst you don’t get how winter is magical in getting into you and the dream of quiet and peaceful meditation’ winter is for growth and calm With in . Winter is beautiful look at it in a fresh different way of spring !

New subscriber ❤ great video !

I’m new here! My plan right now is aiming for 10k every day with lots of incline and stairs, mostly zone 2 , + 2-3 strength training sessions. Appreciate you sharing your challenge and results. And holy cow, your skin is beautiful. What do you use for skin care and makeup?

I walk 24,345 that is 10 miles . I do it 3 times a week. Less on the other 2 days. I would do more but I have a full time job. So it's what I can do around my job.

Thank you Carrie for sharing your truths and experiences. I needed to hear this . Love you too

We stopped give christmas presents years ago. Everybody has every thing they need. Why add to the clutter?

I don’t try to be martha stewart.

Amazon no driving no crowds no stress

Fantastic video. Such great points. Taking away status quo habits and unnecessary stress is the secret to happiness.

I’ve been doing 15,000 steps a day after watching your 15,000 steps video. Going to try doing 20,000 for a week. Love trying your challenges. Can you please tell me about your Empty Nest job? ❤❤

I love your hairstyle. What is it called ?

Wonderful msg….I think it’s just getting older…u don’t care and u just want simple n peace

Did you count steps taken just doing things like cleaning, cooking, running errands? Just curious because I'm always so confused about how much activity I need based on the rest of my daily lifestyle. I don't have a desk job. 20 000 steps would take me almost 3 hours of walking without a break. That's a lot!♥️🇨🇦

Great job! What time of the day you walk and how many minutes/hours you walk in a row?

I think it's amazing that you have walked 20,000 steps for 7 days in a row and that you are still smiling! Way to go and what a great inspiration!
