    As a working mom I really appreciate this video! Most “soft-life” videos made me feel bad because I didn’t marry a millionaire husband but thanks for making this soft life routine based in reality 😂❤

    As a man, I wholeheartedly and genuinely just want a comfortable life with my family

    Love that tip to get out in nature. It is so healing to do that.

    Being constantly on the go can slow you down by causing so much stress that it leads to being sick or burnt out. And it slows you more and longer than slowing down each day or week. Love this video and idea!

      So true! Me and constantly rushing (from thing to thing and trying to function at my max all the time) are NOT compatible.

    My biggest problem is a constant revolving door of being stressed out - then I try to take it easy and enjoy my life and for some reason feel guilty like I should be doing more, or I'm too ungrateful, then back to being stressed out again

    • @kristidoingthings
      @kristidoingthings  28 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I COMPLETELY understand that! For me, I have to actively give myself permission to rest and remind myself that God didn’t design me to go 24-7 until I burn out. And during the busy seasons I have to intentionally build it into my schedule. Hang in there ❤️

    Wow! This video struck some chords. I've never been able to set boundaries and I let other people take up all my time, getting me sick, unable to finish tasks or whatnot... I also didn't know there was a "soft life" thing and the hustling mindset always tore me apart. Thank you for your words and I'll be sticking around to hear more of them ☺️

    • @kristidoingthings

      Aww, glad you found it helpful!!! Boundaries are SO important to enjoying a more intentional, peaceful, and soft life. It takes some but can be done. 🥰

    • @kristidoingthings
      @kristidoingthings  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      So glad that you said something. I think so many times we get these ideas in our head of “success” that constantly make feel like we can’t get there.
      And thank you so much!!! So ready for all the spring colors!

    When you said procrastination builds anxiety, that is the truth! Mh husband is a procrastinater & it drives me nuts because I'm not. I like planning my days. I have anxiety issues as it is so me having a list & trying to go by it & a schedule helps. Him procrastinating kills me inside lol

    • @kristidoingthings
      @kristidoingthings  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      😂 very understandable! I’ve learned to accept that other people don’t function the way I do, and sometimes the way I function doesn’t work for other people. But as long as it doesn’t hurt them or us or our family business…we have to let them do them.

  • @SeasonalLivingwithLeo
    @SeasonalLivingwithLeo หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This!! I'm so glad you addressed this issue and the first thing you said about soft life not being about the culture of being a kept luxurious woman is what kept me from thinking a soft life was for me. I'm so glad to find teachers like yourself who actually empower regular women to achieve a soft life.

    • @kristidoingthings
      @kristidoingthings  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Aww, I’m so glad it helped! You completely deserve to and absolutely can tap into the soft girl lifestyle with a job ❤️

  • @kittygrowl839

    Your “extreme example” is exactly where I am right now. I’m starting my new job in a few days. I want to get in the mindset of having a soft life and also accomplishing my goals and your video is sooooo helpful. Thank you love
    Also really great tip on finding ways for others to help me. Historically I try to do it all on my own and I get burned out. Def gonna sign up for a meal delivery service

    • @kristidoingthings
      @kristidoingthings  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Accept that help, girl! There is nothing wrong with delegating and focusing your energy on what's most vital to you. Hope the new job is going well!

    I’m grateful I found this ! Mom of 3 little ones. Married and work full time and just opened my own private practice part time. My regular job is mentally exhausting to the point of muscle tension while at work and the kids also trigger much stress at home.
    Do you recommend a certain planner that you have found beneficial?

    • @kristidoingthings
      @kristidoingthings  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Girl, you have a lot going on! And you deserve to give yourself some extra love. This feels like a shameless plug, it's not, lol. But I do have a video that you might find helpful. It's about finding where you have time when it feels like you don't have time. I'll link here in case it's helpful. th-cam.com/video/7suoYbksXYg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6oEtXeJfckozktWp
      As for a planner, I think that they can be so individual. For me, I have been THE most consistent with planning by using either a simple notebook to brain dump all my tasks, or using my digital planner on my Ipad. But the magic in it has been having it as part of my routine each day because I know it helps me to not feel so anxious about all the things I have going on.

  • @PenniP
    @PenniP 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Love this video. I want a slower, softer life. However, I feel I couldn’t because I have a job, a home, a husband, a side business etc.

    I realized I could live a soft life when started making more than 95k with my 9-5. I start my days early, I have a routine, eat healthy, put my bills on autopay, etc. it’s possible depending on the person! Yes! It’s a mindset!!!

    • @kristidoingthings
      @kristidoingthings  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      When I started thinking this way, I was able to do it on less than $40K as a full time PhD student and part time research assistant. I was single/no kids, but mindset really is such a powerful thing.
