There are 3 main areas that I consistently have worked on over the last 3 years and it has paid off. Weight loss (over 100lb lost, just 30lb to go), becoming debt free (which we hit), and majorly decluttering my home (purged about 50% making it far easier to tidy and clean.)
How sweet,,,,,, some ,, are not so lucky,,,,,if they want , they up a d leave....... I've even seen women who think their "so fortunate" and their husbands are hitting on women ...../ mistress...... I knew a couple , the wife was bragging it up to me how wonderful her man is....... Little did she know when opportunitie was there he was making a play to me,,,, sad ........ Now. Anybody I have a question for you ????? Would you tell the wife and spoil your friendship ????
@@jat6547 i dont think its proper to tell the wife. I think if he decides to act on it, she will eventually find out because God will make sure of it. Sadly alot of men have the bad habit of flirting because they are insecure. If you did find out he was cheating, however, i think it best to tell her
@@jat6547 Maybe she knows, but turns the other way, pretending not to have seen anything. At least the husband is still married to her. A divorce would mean a lot of things, including financial instability and other perks ..... depending on how rich he is. So she still gets to remain "happily married".
I’ve enjoyed the compound effect in Bible reading. A small amount of time daily is needed to read through the Bible in a year, and year after year, that adds up!
❤This year, I made the exercise goal of 100 situps, push-ups, and squats with weights, and a 6 minute plank by my birthday. I have consistently exercised in different ways throughout the years, but this was the first time I made a goal, which I have been slowly working on. Today, I did 60 of each and a 2.75 minute plank. I will be 50 in August.
Consistency is everything in music. I am an opera singer. I’ve been singing scales and arpeggios in my warm up every single day for more than 25 years. This daily check in not only warms up my body, my voice and my ears, but also helps me get into the meditative, focused state I need in order to learn the music and to find my own interpretation. Consistency has helped me get to a place where I am singing better than ever and where I can trust my creativity in making bold, courageous choices.
I totally agree with the compound effect. I decided to learn Italian beginning of 2022 as my new year’s resolution. I have been consistently learning for a year and two months. Sometimes only 5-15 mins a day, sometimes a couple of hours a day, depending on my schedule. Now I can read and write pretty well and speak pretty good. I listen to Italian podcast pretty much every night for 10-20 mins, now I can understand a lot more than before. So a little time every day + consistency = giant change.
@daffidalswuli I don’t know if you’ll even see this since you wrote your comment over four months ago. THANK YOU so much for sharing- you don’t know how encouraging this is to me. May I ask a question? Did you have any knowledge of Italian beforehand or were you starting from scratch? I’m asking because I’ve always wanted to learn French but have no background or previous experience to build on. If you see this, thank you for your time
@@quietandmildone hi there! No, I didn’t have any Italian knowledge or background. I just love the language and the sound of it. I started as an absolute beginner. I watched some various very basic videos on italian letter pronunciations first. Then I use an app called Innovative to study systematically from grammar, use of words to text and conversations. I mainly listen to a podcast called Coffee Break Italian to practice my listening. They started from very beginning and gradually help u make progress, so u don’t feel u don’t understand a thing they are talking about. I also found a professor on TH-cam who teaches Italian language using textbook, so I study with him consistently as well. The two apps I use (Innovative and coffee break Italian) also have many other languages, like French. I recommend to use them to study if u are serous about learning the language. Hope that helps and have fun in your language learning! I imagine one day I can retire in Italy and speak fluent Italian there! Haha. My wild dream!
I love the concept of studying successful people. My 20 year old son just got through saying to me, "I no longer get jealous of successful people but I let them be my inspiration." There's so much wisdom to glean from here. Thank you for sharing this. I will be more mindful of making good tiny choices.
I started in January working out 20 minutes every day. Just 2.5 months later I can see tremendous results! My husband is deployed and came home recently and was shocked by my muscle definition. I also jump rope for 2 minutes every day. I know my stamina is increasing. Just this one area is bringing me a lot of joy and satisfaction so I started March 1st cutting out dairy and sugar. Just 19 days in and I have joint pains (that I've had for years) that are 95% gone! LOVED this video. Thanks!
I have a 5 minute workout using 1.5 lb salt containers and it has made a huge difference- I just do it hourly, along with a small glass of water. And the jump rope, yes! :) It's amazing how much difference little things can make.
“Study successful people”. I read a neat quote several years ago about flaws. It went something like this, “instead of focusing on your flaws, look at the good you see in others and seek to emulate them. You will slowly see your flaws disappear.”
At the end of our lives, we will realize that our final destination is the sum total of all the choices we have made over the years. I agree with all these principles. The mystery is why some people have the discipline to be consistent and others don't. Thank you for sharing this book.....
I think so much can be determined by who we are around all the time. I’ve seen people with great potential marry a much less motivated person, and the more driven person seems to dial that down to match their spouse. It can be the same with friend groups as well. If you are trying to be healthy or lose weight and around people who don’t care or even make fun of healthy food or working out, then you are going to either dial it back or hide it or give in to unhealthy temptations more.
This was a great video Jennifer, being consistent is most definitely the key, I find this is true in my everyday routines in my home. I definitely want to read this book. Jennifer, what is the music that plays through most of video, it’s so beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Education. It took me seven years to earn my bachelors degree because we had our three children when we were very young, I’ve now achieved a masters degree with 30 credits beyond that to be at the top of the pay bracket. One class at a time! Love your channel Jennifer thank you!
So inspirational! Did you do all of this while having a full time job? I’m 39 years old and thinking about going back to school. My brain won’t let me accept that I can do because I want to become a mom, spend my time with family all while working and still taking care of my health by working, eating right? If you have any tips on how you did that would be greatly appreciated
Intentionality is something lacking in society today. Too many people float through life making reactionary decisions all the time which can be stressful because it feels like nothing is within your control. I’ve noticed that when I’m intentional with what I’m doing, I feel stronger and more confident which then leads to more healthy decisions.
While I haven't read this book, your summation reminds me of Benjamin Franklin's 13 principles of life. His life is evidence of the "compound effect". For myself when motivation has dulled for whatever reason (excuse) I remind myself "God is in the details" and "inch by inch anything is a cinch".
You asked if your viewers have an example of the compound effect in their own lives. Yes! I do. I am 67 and 7 years ago I decided to do something I had been wanting to do since I was 4 yrs old and told as a child and teenager that I could not do. I'm not kidding. So I started violin lessons ... and to be successful daily practice is essential. Dr Suzuki says that students should practice every day that they eat. Even on days when energy is low ... or very busy ... daily practice is essential. I now play in a classical orchestra ... 1 to 2 hours of practice a day .... and when I can't, at least a half an hour .... the key is consistency. And when you add up all those hours ... wow!!!! Your video defined this phenomenon for me ... thx. Am excited to write down my goals and why I want them.
My Mom & adult sister played scrabble. Sister went for big words, triple word scores etc. Mom consistently used small common words wherever they would fit. In the end Mom won by two points. Both techniques were about equal in the end, but Small consistent wins are easier, more reliable, and less stressful to attain. This illustrates how important consistency is. (Triple word scores are a little more exciting though.)😉
Awhile back I read that we should write down at least 5 goals. They could be in any area. Then daily, every decision you make, ask yourself will this help me get toward achieving my goals. If the action/choice doesn’t, then don’t do it.
I haven’t read The Compound Effect, but I’ve read Atomic Habits and am now listening to The 5am Club. I think the science of forming small consistent habits is fascinating especially since our society values the quick fix/magic pill. I’ve reaped the benefits of compound habits in changing my diet to a far healthier one over the years and consistently exercising. Now, these changes help me feel emotionally and mentally strong, and it is not just about the physician benefits. Compound habits also helped me become a morning person! Funnily enough, it wasn’t until after having children (3) that I discovered the value of early mornings. Thank you Jennifer for another thoughtful and inspiring video!
EXCELLENT video, Jennifer! These reminders are essential. It’s very important to review all of this wisdom now and again, especially at times of great change. I’m 52. My children are flying the nest. My body has changed. The job I lived for (full time Mom) has phased out. I’m staring newness in the face. Three years ago I was fortunate enough to find a fabulous job. Now the hard work of consistent NEW habits is beginning. It’s hard to figure things out all over again! I must be strong and pull out of myself new courage. Thank you dear for this intense reminder. My faith tells me that “I can do all things through Him who gives me strength “ and “be strong and courageous, the Lord will be with you.” These don’t just happen. They take hard work. I raised my children with the verse “do not grow weary of good doing, for you will reap a reward if you do not give up.” BTW-you look fantastic in grey!
I start out well but staying consistent is my issue. I’ll let some outside situations derail me. I know sometimes it happens with medical issues or family and I’ve had some tough times in the last seven years. I’ve lost my brother and my mom. I’ve fought off cancer and was laid off for missing too much work due to cancer treatment. But I am trying to get back and move forward with my goals. I’m trying not to beat myself up if I do lose consistently which I think should be mentioned. One needs to just get back up and start again and that’s what I’m doing. I’m actually rethinking my morning routine today.
I remember once in another video of yours, you mentioned someone said of your book that they could have done that - and I'll never forget what you said - "yes but you didn't!" I loved that answer. You put the time and the consistent effort in and actually wrote a book. So that comment the person made held no weight! Consistency is a practice that I'm not good at but have really been compelled to change in my life. Thanks for the encouragement and the book recommendation.
That stuck in my head too. Of course, have I written even once? No, darn it all! But I have still benefited from the mindset and other videos she broadcasts.
I just came here to say I often think about the time she said this as well. It’s so inspiring to think that anyone can do whatever they put their mind to if they are just consistent about doing the work it takes to meet your goal. ☺️
Fabulous ,thank you so much Jennifer for this video . As a 54 year old empty nester I need some inspiration for the second half of my life and you’ve just done that for me , so thank you ❤
A few years ago I did the same thing - eliminated sugar from my coffee. The first couple days it is missed, and then I preferred it without. A small change that is significant over years!!
This is such an inspiring video, Jennifer--thank you for your focus on self-improvement and rich content and for the fact that there's nothing superficial on the Daily Connoisseur! Every blessing, Susanne
When you said study successful people.. you are the first succesful people that pop in my mind.. you are my inspiration in intermittent fasting... everytime i feel like eating during my fast i re watch your videos on fasting.. thank you for the inspiration...😊
For me, I read the Compound Effect and even took Darren’s course years ago! It changed everything for me. And then, when I read Atomic Habits (3 x) I learned how to “stack my habits”, and become even more productive! Now my life is completely full and wonderful, It’s been an amazing journey! 💞💞💞
So true about the small consistencies adding up. Daily rebounding( mini trampoline) is a habit I have had for years. The results are cumulatively huge and ongoing health wise, yet I only do about 10 minutes a day. Great video!I am implementing lots of your tips as they are simple and effective. Thanks so much for doing what you do🥰
Whatever terminology one assigns to the process of setting goals, doing so is essential to achieving any measure of success. I set goals for myself when I entered a professional career, and I met every single goal, and within the time frame I had set for myself, despite major family crises, a divorce, re-location, as well as a multitude of other, smaller issues. I note this, not to sound my trumpet, but to second your recommendations. Goals don't need to be career oriented, everyday life (finally organizing that basement, attic, or even the pantry), vacation dream, learning a new domestic skill, whatever - just write it down, and thoughtfully, methodically, persistently, go after it. And don't let yourself be distracted. One doesn't need to be a pit bull about the process, but consider the ant, or whatever example of dogged perseverance comes to mind.
Love all your videos. I struggle with consistency in some areas, but not in my yoga. I've been doing hot yoga since my children were born (14 years). It has transformed my body, mind and soul. I'm a more calm and thoughtful parent and wife. I go consistently 3 to 4 times a week and don't intend to stop until I can't move anymore. It is one of the greatest joys in my life.
This video is superb! I have watched it several times since it first aired and I MUST thank you for taking the time to internalize his book and share these wonderful steps! ♥️
Thank you so much, Jennifer, for sharing this, and for being such an inspiration to me. I’ve struggled with consistency my whole life. One thing that set me back in frustration for many years is I would write down the 79 things I wanted to improve, and I couldn’t make so many changes at once. Lately I’ve been challenging myself to make just a few really small changes, and let my success in those tiny things propel me forward, and prove to myself that I can do it. Then once it has become a habit, I can use that brain space for other things. For example, I am a harpist. I set a goal to play one song after my kids go to bed, I would love to give them that memory of their mom filling the home with soft, gentle, restful music to help them relax and sleep. My husband and I enjoy it, too. Thank you again for the helpful tips, and your example.
Excellent video, Jennifer!! You are always such an inspiration!! My 13 year old grandson told me he read that millionaires wake up early so he set his alarm for 5:30 am. He put his clothes on and started reading…but, he fell fast asleep!! I told him that he is a growing boy and still needs his sleep. 😂 He is an inspiration to me also!!!❤️
Jennifer, I think what happens is it becomes overwhelming when you know you have changes to make, you know why you’re making them, but run out of steam and motivation when actually trying to accomplish. For example for me, I’ve spent a lot of resources on my health (time and money! And stress)! I have successfully (somehow?!) reduced my acne and most about 35 pounds, thankfully. i thought I’d feel so happy and feel so great! I am definitely thankful I no longer have acne, however, I still don’t feel good. My eczema and itchiness seems to have worsened. I have lost nearly all my hair (I attributed it to significantly reducing my caloric intake, stress, and maybe even (long?) Covid,)-my hair is literally less than 1/4 of my previously ponytail thickness. And after losing all this weight, I don’t know how to dress myself to flatter my new body while still being comfortable. And because I am much thinner my posture has significantly worsened. I’m sick of everyone commenting on losing the weight, skin looking worse, hair shedding, and posture. Where do I start? What do I prioritize? It would be so helpful for you to think about how you would advise your previous self on where to start? For me right now, it’s trying to consciously reduce social media, go to bed early so I can wake early consistently , make conscious skincare and medical decisions to track health progresses and setbacks, and look for a job that works for me and my skill set and work life balance needs. I realized though, I should also throw in curating a 10 item wardrobe and learning how to look presentable (hair, makeup, clothes) because a family member had a baby early that I seem to be volunteering to help out for and nothing fits and I’m so uncomfortable in my own clothes. I am also worried about a family event in about one month because I know my hair is still too thin and hasn’t grown back sufficiently and I’m going to get so many questions. All this rambling to say: can you please make a video on thinking back and making a list on the order you would prioritize things? What would you do first, second, third, etc to bring about the biggest dividends and time savers (even if it initially seems like you’re front loading it so you can reap the rewards later)in your life after living through it?
This is an awesome video! The Compound Effect is now on my "read list". I do highly recommend also reading Essentialism - The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown. It really assisted me in opening my eyes to living with intension & purpose. Thank you Jennifer. I value your book choices and opinions.
Thank you Jennifer very interesting! ...you're impressive ..🤔 almost 65, strange time in life, ( more weight than ever, skin losing strength, can't get up after on my knees, low libido, ..at the same time I'm not necessary to "giving" to the ones I've "lived for, cared for" in the past)..I was never warned,.. not prepared....but, determined to give it my best til the end..."Keep Calm and Remain Classy!"
Excellent timing, Jennifer! The wisdom received from your video today will not only help me personally, it will help me with my view and support for some current life changing choices for my family! You are a gift to your readers and viewers! 🙏🏼🤗
Thanks for your channel. I am VERY bad at being consistent. HOWEVER, I started your suggestion of a to-do list and I have already started to see good results. Once I finished my to-do list, I didn't add anything else to it. It makes my anxiety lessen. Thanks Jennifer.
Just in the first point, I am already relating this to diet and nutrition! A couple years ago I had to change/restrict my diet and really recently I’ve started to learn about nutrition (I’m getting really “crunchy”), and please be encouraged if anyone has food restrictions or gut damage - small, wise choices made consistently over time will yield a positive result! Edit: You mentioned food and diet several times in the rest of the video. :) The compound effect has definitely profited me in the area of diet! I was never really overweight, but was malnourished from gluten damage. Over the past 2 years, every little day of not eating gluten and slowly eating more and more healthy has yielded results that I have days that I almost feel back to normal!
Thank you for this encouragement! I love hearing about your consistent writing time. ❤ I’ve been consistently having one-on-one times with my children each week. It’s so great for giving us time to catch up and have conversations that might not otherwise happen with the whole family around!
I absolutely love your videos Jennifer! ❤️ I just finished your first book, Lessons from Madame Chic and devoured it! If you ever write a book about your journey as a TH-camr, author and entrepreneur I would be the first in line! Have a wonderful weekend! 😘
When I asked two of our older teenage grand daughters, who had lost their books in a fire, what one book they would most like replaced, they each (I asked them separately) said without much hesitation, “THE COMPOUND EFFECT by Darren Hardy.” That is when I discovered said book and decided it was a must read! To make myself do some sort of regular exercise to regain lung health and energy I made it a prerequisite for me to do some sort of workout before I can play a once a day game (Wordle Word) that I really enjoy playing. It has helped me be consistent and I have made noticeable gains. I agree with all the many good compliments/observances of you in these comments, Jennifer! Love, Paula
our Jewish new year is coming up and this is a time when we make our “new year “ resolutions. So thank you very much for this video. I found it very useful 🌺
Thank you so much for this video Jennifer. You share SO much good wisdom in this video. I needed to hear this information for this moment in my life. I am 68 years old and embarking on a new phase of my life starting right now! Mary Ann
Excellent advice Jennifer❣️I started French lessons at age 45 and kept signing up for lessons for about 20 years. It feels so good to feel more comfortable going to France now. I am also starting to cut down on the amount of cheese, millt, sugar, and chocolate I have been eating, realizing I don’t need as much as I was eating. Eating like the French = moderation❣️🥰💕God bless you❣️
I really love this information and I totally agree. Honestly, I struggle with consistency and I hate that about myself. I wish more of these books were required reading in school. I'll have to get this book for sure. There are so many things I didn't learn early enough in life, but I've worked on them. Now I have different goals for this season in my life. I so appreciate your encouragement, Jennifer. I feel so much better after having watched your channel!
Hi Jennifer, Thank you for sharing this book with us. I grew up in an extremely routine, disciplined home; I’m often astounded by the contrast in the ways adults conduct their lives compared to the tight bubble I grew up in my youth. It’s taken me 30 years of marriage to fully understand this simple concept. I appreciate the value of your videos and how much I have learned from them. Julie 🌷
Thank you, Jennifer, for always being so thorough and thoughtful with your content. Many people who post give tips on things they are newly trying out, which is OK But ✨I appreciate you taking the time to reflect and speak from experience before posting on a topic✨ I have a total opposite lifestyle from yours, yet have gained SO much from your videos. Thank you☀️
I have read this book twice!!! I love it! It is worth reading and pondering in detail. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and experiences. I love listening to you! ❤
What a wonderful video. I find it very inspiring. I have seen this compounding effect in my reading. I read every morning from 30 minutes to an hour depending on my daily activities. I am now reading about 2 books a month and I am amazed. It really does add up. It’s my relaxing “me time.”
I love ❤️ this chat. Wow I have done all this, & more all my life. Married going on 50 years & also 70... I have always loved 📚 reading.I too do organizing &fasting& notes -list & most of all prayer... I have a 4000 sq ft house & I still keep it beautiful. Great women & men successful 👏 👍 🙌 . P.S. I have always said in this quote" I -we can do more...
Based on your recommendation in this video I've purchased this book and I already read it and I can say it is really a book that everyone should read. Thank you for this video!🥰
Thank you, Jennifer ,for yet again a very inspiring video! I study you, because in my book you are a successful woman,who teaches me so much! And yes,I do think about you sometimes, when I keep calm and remain classy.😊 Sending you my love, Imola
Jennifer, thank you so very much for this video. Talk about the right video at the right time. I so appreciate your book suggestions and reviews. I need this book. I also really appreciated you giving examples from your own life. It was very illuminative. Excellent video!
In love with your beautiful home in the background. It’s so relaxing just to look at the neatness and chic decor. I hope you would share more home decorating and interior design content!
Thanks for this video. I have just got on the library list to borrow this book-20 week wait AND just borrowed an audible (My first ever audible book) copy also from my library.
This video was so helpful. A lot I need to work on. Thank you! I hope everyone here knows Jesus Christ as there personal Lord and Saviour! John 3:16 KJV, John 14:6 KJV and Romans 10:13 KJV.
Absolutely love this video Jennifer!! I have the exact goal in mind that I have just been pondering, I took the time here and now to write it! Thank you! ✍️ ❤
Thank you for sharing such thought-provoking information. I love watching your videos and always marvel at how much you are able to accomplish. Your insights are so valuable. You seem absolutely calm and classy.
A very well done video Jennifer . It was a pleasure to listen to you present this content so fluidly and add your personal touches to it. Thank you for your hard work and attention to detail.
Hi Jennifer. Thank you for this review. I read "Atomic Habits" last year and have felt and seen the positive effects of daily routines and wise choices. Life can become quite simple when you set it up that way for yourself. Not necessarily easy, but I like how James Clear says you give your brain a rest when you have a habit. This book sounds like volume 2 of the same thoughtful approach to living the life we want. I'm going to pick it up for sure. I've read all your books too and love them. I'm working on writing my own book, but so far I don't know what it's about. 🤣Until then, I'm just writing every day to see what happens. Oh... and keeping calm and remaining classy. xo karen
This came at such a good time. I have been mulling over how I don’t like where I’ve ended up and I would like to change it but I usually try to do everything at once. I definitely need to make smaller changes that I can keep up. Also, I kept thinking of the air plane example. A few degrees change in direction from LA could be the difference between NY or DC. Make a sure you are pointed in the right direction.
Thank you for the encouraging video! I started a TH-cam channel two months ago under a different account. I have been getting and little discouraged and this video gave me a boost.
Thank you for your inspiration, ideas, guidance, and sharing the things that you have found to be helpful. I love your book series!! I recently purchased three of them and am reading them now. I will add the books mentioned here to my reading list. Sending you Good vibes while writing your new book. Can't wait to read it!
Such a great video!!! Thank you, Jennifer for sharing what you learn from that book. Those quotes are full of wisdom. Now, I what to thank you for a hard work in every single vídeo. Your videos gives us great advice, calm, courage and valuable learning. Whether it’s house keeping, personal development or an analysis of some piece of Art, they’re masterful, a jewel on the internet. I wish you, and all friends here, a beautiful weekend. (This sunday we celebrate, in Spain, in st Joseph day, the Father’s day) Best regards, thank you 🌷
I’m 74, and I enjoy listening to you. Much of your “lessons“ are not useful to me, but you’re tone is wonderful. I always feel calm and full when I finish listening.
@@sherry9568 No, Sherry. It was meant as a compliment. I can edit that to say, “to me.” I’m sure Jennifer gets that. I don’t cook for a family, and my dress, health, and lifestyle challenges are different. That’s all I meant. My lesson from Jennifer is the calm joy that she both creates and communicates. This particular video is useful to anyone.
@@lovelyenglishnature3277 totally not a backhanded compliment! She’s simply saying the advice isn’t pertinent to her season of life per se but it’s still enjoyable to watch !

What is Your WHY? & RITUAL... 💞
There are 3 main areas that I consistently have worked on over the last 3 years and it has paid off. Weight loss (over 100lb lost, just 30lb to go), becoming debt free (which we hit), and majorly decluttering my home (purged about 50% making it far easier to tidy and clean.)
🎊 🎉🥳
Amazing!!
Huge congratulations to you!
Congrats!!
So inspiring 🤩
My example of successful conscious consistency is choosing to be in a relationship with my husband. It started when I was 15 and I am now 70.
This is so precious! I so hope to be able to say this about my husband and I. We’ve been married almost 14 years now and have 4 children. ❤
It feels so wonderful and motivating at the same time. 3 kids and 11 years of marriage, still going strong 😊
How sweet,,,,,, some ,, are not so lucky,,,,,if they want , they up a d leave....... I've even seen women who think their "so fortunate" and their husbands are hitting on women ...../ mistress...... I knew a couple , the wife was bragging it up to me how wonderful her man is....... Little did she know when opportunitie was there he was making a play to me,,,, sad ........ Now. Anybody I have a question for you ????? Would you tell the wife and spoil your friendship ????
@@jat6547 i dont think its proper to tell the wife. I think if he decides to act on it, she will eventually find out because God will make sure of it. Sadly alot of men have the bad habit of flirting because they are insecure. If you did find out he was cheating, however, i think it best to tell her
@@jat6547 Maybe she knows, but turns the other way, pretending not to have seen anything. At least the husband is still married to her. A divorce would mean a lot of things, including financial instability and other perks ..... depending on how rich he is.
So she still gets to remain "happily married".
I’ve enjoyed the compound effect in Bible reading. A small amount of time daily is needed to read through the Bible in a year, and year after year, that adds up!
Amen!!!
Amen
I need to adopt this, thanks for sharing!
That's how I listened to Bible in a year. Everyday, consistently
Yes. Reading and studying Bible is the first thing I do each morning. I light a candle, sip hot tea, and read God’s Word.
❤This year, I made the exercise goal of 100 situps, push-ups, and squats with weights, and a 6 minute plank by my birthday. I have consistently exercised in different ways throughout the years, but this was the first time I made a goal, which I have been slowly working on. Today, I did 60 of each and a 2.75 minute plank. I will be 50 in August.
Consistency is everything in music. I am an opera singer. I’ve been singing scales and arpeggios in my warm up every single day for more than 25 years. This daily check in not only warms up my body, my voice and my ears, but also helps me get into the meditative, focused state I need in order to learn the music and to find my own interpretation. Consistency has helped me get to a place where I am singing better than ever and where I can trust my creativity in making bold, courageous choices.
I totally agree with the compound effect. I decided to learn Italian beginning of 2022 as my new year’s resolution. I have been consistently learning for a year and two months. Sometimes only 5-15 mins a day, sometimes a couple of hours a day, depending on my schedule. Now I can read and write pretty well and speak pretty good. I listen to Italian podcast pretty much every night for 10-20 mins, now I can understand a lot more than before. So a little time every day + consistency = giant change.
@daffidalswuli I don’t know if you’ll even see this since you wrote your comment over four months ago. THANK YOU so much for sharing- you don’t know how encouraging this is to me. May I ask a question? Did you have any knowledge of Italian beforehand or were you starting from scratch? I’m asking because I’ve always wanted to learn French but have no background or previous experience to build on. If you see this, thank you for your time
@@quietandmildone hi there! No, I didn’t have any Italian knowledge or background. I just love the language and the sound of it. I started as an absolute beginner. I watched some various very basic videos on italian letter pronunciations first. Then I use an app called Innovative to study systematically from grammar, use of words to text and conversations. I mainly listen to a podcast called Coffee Break Italian to practice my listening. They started from very beginning and gradually help u make progress, so u don’t feel u don’t understand a thing they are talking about. I also found a professor on TH-cam who teaches Italian language using textbook, so I study with him consistently as well. The two apps I use (Innovative and coffee break Italian) also have many other languages, like French. I recommend to use them to study if u are serous about learning the language. Hope that helps and have fun in your language learning! I imagine one day I can retire in Italy and speak fluent Italian there! Haha. My wild dream!
I love the concept of studying successful people. My 20 year old son just got through saying to me, "I no longer get jealous of successful people but I let them be my inspiration." There's so much wisdom to glean from here. Thank you for sharing this. I will be more mindful of making good tiny choices.
Yes, he is so wise! Always be happy for successful people and study them. Great advice.
Which biographies of successful people do you recommend to study?
I started in January working out 20 minutes every day. Just 2.5 months later I can see tremendous results! My husband is deployed and came home recently and was shocked by my muscle definition. I also jump rope for 2 minutes every day. I know my stamina is increasing. Just this one area is bringing me a lot of joy and satisfaction so I started March 1st cutting out dairy and sugar. Just 19 days in and I have joint pains (that I've had for years) that are 95% gone! LOVED this video. Thanks!
I have a 5 minute workout using 1.5 lb salt containers and it has made a huge difference- I just do it hourly, along with a small glass of water. And the jump rope, yes! :) It's amazing how much difference little things can make.
“Study successful people”. I read a neat quote several years ago about flaws. It went something like this, “instead of focusing on your flaws, look at the good you see in others and seek to emulate them. You will slowly see your flaws disappear.”
At the end of our lives, we will realize that our final destination is the sum total of all the choices we have made over the years. I agree with all these principles. The mystery is why some people have the discipline to be consistent and others don't. Thank you for sharing this book.....
A very good observation and question!
I think so much can be determined by who we are around all the time. I’ve seen people with great potential marry a much less motivated person, and the more driven person seems to dial that down to match their spouse. It can be the same with friend groups as well. If you are trying to be healthy or lose weight and around people who don’t care or even make fun of healthy food or working out, then you are going to either dial it back or hide it or give in to unhealthy temptations more.
A mix of genetics, education, environment. Although I believe the strongest impact on our succes in life is due to genetics.
Great comment!
This was a great video Jennifer, being consistent is most definitely the key, I find this is true in my everyday routines in my home. I definitely want to read this book. Jennifer, what is the music that plays through most of video, it’s so beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Education. It took me seven years to earn my bachelors degree because we had our three children when we were very young, I’ve now achieved a masters degree with 30 credits beyond that to be at the top of the pay bracket. One class at a time!
Love your channel Jennifer thank you!
Congratulations!! That is amazing! ✨
So inspirational! Did you do all of this while having a full time job? I’m 39 years old and thinking about going back to school. My brain won’t let me accept that I can do because I want to become a mom, spend my time with family all while working and still taking care of my health by working, eating right? If you have any tips on how you did that would be greatly appreciated
The most calming, inspiring space on the internet 😍
Ah, thank you!
Intentionality is something lacking in society today. Too many people float through life making reactionary decisions all the time which can be stressful because it feels like nothing is within your control. I’ve noticed that when I’m intentional with what I’m doing, I feel stronger and more confident which then leads to more healthy decisions.
A mentor of mine, Gloria Copeland, says “in consistency lies the power”. So true.
I love Gloria ❤
While I haven't read this book, your summation reminds me of Benjamin Franklin's 13 principles of life. His life is evidence of the "compound effect". For myself when motivation has dulled for whatever reason (excuse) I remind myself "God is in the details" and "inch by inch anything is a cinch".
You asked if your viewers have an example of the compound effect in their own lives. Yes! I do. I am 67 and 7 years ago I decided to do something I had been wanting to do since I was 4 yrs old and told as a child and teenager that I could not do. I'm not kidding.
So I started violin lessons ... and to be successful daily practice is essential. Dr Suzuki says that students should practice every day that they eat. Even on days when energy is low ... or very busy ... daily practice is essential. I now play in a classical orchestra ... 1 to 2 hours of practice a day .... and when I can't, at least a half an hour .... the key is consistency. And when you add up all those hours ... wow!!!!
Your video defined this phenomenon for me ... thx.
Am excited to write down my goals and why I want them.
My Mom & adult sister played scrabble. Sister went for big words, triple word scores etc. Mom consistently used small common words wherever they would fit. In the end Mom won by two points. Both techniques were about equal in the end, but Small consistent wins are easier, more reliable, and less stressful to attain. This illustrates how important consistency is.
(Triple word scores are a little more exciting though.)😉
"Write the vision; make it plain." In a notebook or journal.🌹
Awhile back I read that we should write down at least 5 goals. They could be in any area. Then daily, every decision you make, ask yourself will this help me get toward achieving my goals. If the action/choice doesn’t, then don’t do it.
I haven’t read The Compound Effect, but I’ve read Atomic Habits and am now listening to The 5am Club. I think the science of forming small consistent habits is fascinating especially since our society values the quick fix/magic pill. I’ve reaped the benefits of compound habits in changing my diet to a far healthier one over the years and consistently exercising. Now, these changes help me feel emotionally and mentally strong, and it is not just about the physician benefits. Compound habits also helped me become a morning person! Funnily enough, it wasn’t until after having children (3) that I discovered the value of early mornings. Thank you Jennifer for another thoughtful and inspiring video!
EXCELLENT video, Jennifer! These reminders are essential. It’s very important to review all of this wisdom now and again, especially at times of great change. I’m 52. My children are flying the nest. My body has changed. The job I lived for (full time Mom) has phased out. I’m staring newness in the face. Three years ago I was fortunate enough to find a fabulous job. Now the hard work of consistent NEW habits is beginning. It’s hard to figure things out all over again! I must be strong and pull out of myself new courage. Thank you dear for this intense reminder. My faith tells me that “I can do all things through Him who gives me strength “ and “be strong and courageous, the Lord will be with you.” These don’t just happen. They take hard work. I raised my children with the verse “do not grow weary of good doing, for you will reap a reward if you do not give up.”
BTW-you look fantastic in grey!
I love your attitude! 💫
I agree! I thought the same thing- grey becomes you, Jennifer!
I start out well but staying consistent is my issue. I’ll let some outside situations derail me. I know sometimes it happens with medical issues or family and I’ve had some tough times in the last seven years. I’ve lost my brother and my mom. I’ve fought off cancer and was laid off for missing too much work due to cancer treatment. But I am trying to get back and move forward with my goals. I’m trying not to beat myself up if I do lose consistently which I think should be mentioned. One needs to just get back up and start again and that’s what I’m doing. I’m actually rethinking my morning routine today.
I remember once in another video of yours, you mentioned someone said of your book that they could have done that - and I'll never forget what you said - "yes but you didn't!" I loved that answer. You put the time and the consistent effort in and actually wrote a book. So that comment the person made held no weight! Consistency is a practice that I'm not good at but have really been compelled to change in my life. Thanks for the encouragement and the book recommendation.
That stuck in my head too. Of course, have I written even once? No, darn it all! But I have still benefited from the mindset and other videos she broadcasts.
I just came here to say I often think about the time she said this as well. It’s so inspiring to think that anyone can do whatever they put their mind to if they are just consistent about doing the work it takes to meet your goal. ☺️
I often think back to that phrase of hers, as well ☺️
Same as other commenters here!
@@a.k.9404 Same here!👍🏻
Fabulous ,thank you so much Jennifer for this video . As a 54 year old empty nester I need some inspiration for the second half of my life and you’ve just done that for me , so thank you ❤
A few years ago I did the same thing - eliminated sugar from my coffee. The first couple days it is missed, and then I preferred it without. A small change that is significant over years!!
Yes, I calculated that I've probably had over 4,000 cups of coffee in the last ten years, haha. Oh dear! I'm glad I took the sugar out then!
I’m so glad you’re on TH-cam, we need you Jennifer!
✨Thank you!
This is such an inspiring video, Jennifer--thank you for your focus on self-improvement and rich content and for the fact that there's nothing superficial on the Daily Connoisseur! Every blessing, Susanne
Thank you, Susanne! ✨
When you said study successful people.. you are the first succesful people that pop in my mind.. you are my inspiration in intermittent fasting... everytime i feel like eating during my fast i re watch your videos on fasting.. thank you for the inspiration...😊
Jennifer that grey looks really good on you…❤
For me, I read the Compound Effect and even took Darren’s course years ago! It changed everything for me. And then, when I read Atomic Habits (3 x) I learned how to “stack my habits”, and become even more productive! Now my life is completely full and wonderful, It’s been an amazing journey! 💞💞💞
That's amazing! I'm so happy for you!
Can you describe this more? I want to “stack my habits” too but don’t know how…
I am new to your channel but I think I just found the first quote to enter in my Commonplace Book. Thank you!
So true about the small consistencies adding up. Daily rebounding( mini trampoline) is a habit I have had for years. The results are cumulatively huge and ongoing health wise, yet I only do about 10 minutes a day.
Great video!I am implementing lots of your tips as they are simple and effective. Thanks so much for doing what you do🥰
Urban rebounder?
Whatever terminology one assigns to the process of setting goals, doing so is essential to achieving any measure of success. I set goals for myself when I entered a professional career, and I met every single goal, and within the time frame I had set for myself, despite major family crises, a divorce, re-location, as well as a multitude of other, smaller issues. I note this, not to sound my trumpet, but to second your recommendations. Goals don't need to be career oriented, everyday life (finally organizing that basement, attic, or even the pantry), vacation dream, learning a new domestic skill, whatever - just write it down, and thoughtfully, methodically, persistently, go after it. And don't let yourself be distracted. One doesn't need to be a pit bull about the process, but consider the ant, or whatever example of dogged perseverance comes to mind.
Love this.
Love all your videos. I struggle with consistency in some areas, but not in my yoga. I've been doing hot yoga since my children were born (14 years). It has transformed my body, mind and soul. I'm a more calm and thoughtful parent and wife. I go consistently 3 to 4 times a week and don't intend to stop until I can't move anymore. It is one of the greatest joys in my life.
Yoga will keep you mobile 💞🙋
This video is superb! I have watched it several times since it first aired and I MUST thank you for taking the time to internalize his book and share these wonderful steps! ♥️
Can't wait to read your 6th book! xx
Thank you! 💫
Thank you so much, Jennifer, for sharing this, and for being such an inspiration to me. I’ve struggled with consistency my whole life. One thing that set me back in frustration for many years is I would write down the 79 things I wanted to improve, and I couldn’t make so many changes at once. Lately I’ve been challenging myself to make just a few really small changes, and let my success in those tiny things propel me forward, and prove to myself that I can do it. Then once it has become a habit, I can use that brain space for other things. For example, I am a harpist. I set a goal to play one song after my kids go to bed, I would love to give them that memory of their mom filling the home with soft, gentle, restful music to help them relax and sleep. My husband and I enjoy it, too. Thank you again for the helpful tips, and your example.
That's a great strategy!
What a wonderful gift to your family!
What a lovely experience for your children!!
Excellent video, Jennifer!! You are always such an inspiration!! My 13 year old grandson told me he read that millionaires wake up early so he set his alarm for 5:30 am. He put his clothes on and started reading…but, he fell fast asleep!! I told him that he is a growing boy and still needs his sleep. 😂 He is an inspiration to me also!!!❤️
That boy is going places! Please tell him I said so :)
Jennifer, I think what happens is it becomes overwhelming when you know you have changes to make, you know why you’re making them, but run out of steam and motivation when actually trying to accomplish.
For example for me, I’ve spent a lot of resources on my health (time and money! And stress)! I have successfully (somehow?!) reduced my acne and most about 35 pounds, thankfully.
i thought I’d feel so happy and feel so great! I am definitely thankful I no longer have acne, however, I still don’t feel good. My eczema and itchiness seems to have worsened. I have lost nearly all my hair (I attributed it to significantly reducing my caloric intake, stress, and maybe even (long?) Covid,)-my hair is literally less than 1/4 of my previously ponytail thickness. And after losing all this weight, I don’t know how to dress myself to flatter my new body while still being comfortable. And because I am much thinner my posture has significantly worsened.
I’m sick of everyone commenting on losing the weight, skin looking worse, hair shedding, and posture.
Where do I start? What do I prioritize? It would be so helpful for you to think about how you would advise your previous self on where to start? For me right now, it’s trying to consciously reduce social media, go to bed early so I can wake early consistently , make conscious skincare and medical decisions to track health progresses and setbacks, and look for a job that works for me and my skill set and work life balance needs.
I realized though, I should also throw in curating a 10 item wardrobe and learning how to look presentable (hair, makeup, clothes) because a family member had a baby early that I seem to be volunteering to help out for and nothing fits and I’m so uncomfortable in my own clothes. I am also worried about a family event in about one month because I know my hair is still too thin and hasn’t grown back sufficiently and I’m going to get so many questions.
All this rambling to say: can you please make a video on thinking back and making a list on the order you would prioritize things? What would you do first, second, third, etc to bring about the biggest dividends and time savers (even if it initially seems like you’re front loading it so you can reap the rewards later)in your life after living through it?
This is an awesome video! The Compound Effect is now on my "read list". I do highly recommend also reading Essentialism - The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown. It really assisted me in opening my eyes to living with intension & purpose. Thank you Jennifer. I value your book choices and opinions.
Thank you Jennifer very interesting! ...you're impressive ..🤔 almost 65, strange time in life, ( more weight than ever, skin losing strength, can't get up after on my knees, low libido, ..at the same time I'm not necessary to "giving" to the ones I've "lived for, cared for" in the past)..I was never warned,.. not prepared....but, determined to give it my best til the end..."Keep Calm and Remain Classy!"
Your example of quitting sugar in coffee really got to me!
I have a hard time keeping a routine I get so bored and deal with depression.
❤
You have positively effected our lives.
Thank you! 💫
This book is next on my nonfiction book lists. I read Atomic Habits twice.
Excellent timing, Jennifer!
The wisdom received from your video today will not only help me personally, it will help me with my view and support for some current life changing choices for my family! You are a gift to your readers and viewers! 🙏🏼🤗
I'm so happy to hear it!
💞agree
To me,you are one of those successful people that's why I am a subscriber.Thanks,Jennifer for always inspiring us to elevate our homelife.
Thanks for your channel. I am VERY bad at being consistent. HOWEVER, I started your suggestion of a to-do list and I have already started to see good results. Once I finished my to-do list, I didn't add anything else to it. It makes my anxiety lessen. Thanks Jennifer.
To-do lists are essential. Thank you!
Just in the first point, I am already relating this to diet and nutrition! A couple years ago I had to change/restrict my diet and really recently I’ve started to learn about nutrition (I’m getting really “crunchy”), and please be encouraged if anyone has food restrictions or gut damage - small, wise choices made consistently over time will yield a positive result!
Edit: You mentioned food and diet several times in the rest of the video. :) The compound effect has definitely profited me in the area of diet! I was never really overweight, but was malnourished from gluten damage. Over the past 2 years, every little day of not eating gluten and slowly eating more and more healthy has yielded results that I have days that I almost feel back to normal!
Congratulations. Thanks for sharing this 🙋
Thank you for this encouragement! I love hearing about your consistent writing time. ❤ I’ve been consistently having one-on-one times with my children each week. It’s so great for giving us time to catch up and have conversations that might not otherwise happen with the whole family around!
Jennifer, I love your outfit/look in this video! So simple, but you look very elegant and chic 🥰
I thought the same thing! Nice simple grey top, with that elegant neckline - boat cut? I may need to look that up. 😊
Boat neck. 😊
Thank you!
@@megan2176 me too!
I absolutely love your videos Jennifer! ❤️ I just finished your first book, Lessons from Madame Chic and devoured it! If you ever write a book about your journey as a TH-camr, author and entrepreneur I would be the first in line! Have a wonderful weekend! 😘
When I asked two of our older teenage grand daughters, who had lost their books in a fire, what one book they would most like replaced, they each (I asked them
separately) said without much hesitation, “THE COMPOUND EFFECT by Darren Hardy.” That is when I discovered said book and decided it was a must read!
To make myself do some sort of regular exercise to regain lung health and energy I made it a prerequisite for me to do some sort of workout before I can play a once a day game (Wordle Word) that I really enjoy playing. It has helped me be consistent and I have made noticeable gains. I agree with all the many good compliments/observances of you in these comments, Jennifer! Love, Paula
Wow. That’s quite the endorsement!
our Jewish new year is coming up and this is a time when we make our “new year “ resolutions. So thank you very much for this video. I found it very useful 🌺
Being consistent is something I really struggle with in many areas. Great information in this video. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video Jennifer. You share SO much good wisdom in this video. I needed to hear this information for this moment in my life. I am 68 years old and embarking on a new phase of my life starting right now! Mary Ann
✨I'm excited for you!
Excellent advice Jennifer❣️I started French lessons at age 45 and kept signing up for lessons for about 20 years. It feels so good to feel more comfortable going to France now. I am also starting to cut down on the amount of cheese, millt, sugar, and chocolate I have been eating, realizing I don’t need as much as I was eating. Eating like the French = moderation❣️🥰💕God bless you❣️
YEAY for your 6th book!!! I’m waiting in anticipation ☺️ I need to compound my skills in gardening. I’d love a cottage type garden. 💐 🌸
I really love this information and I totally agree. Honestly, I struggle with consistency and I hate that about myself. I wish more of these books were required reading in school. I'll have to get this book for sure. There are so many things I didn't learn early enough in life, but I've worked on them. Now I have different goals for this season in my life. I so appreciate your encouragement, Jennifer. I feel so much better after having watched your channel!
I feel like this is one of your best videos ever
Hi Jennifer, Thank you for sharing this book with us.
I grew up in an extremely routine, disciplined home; I’m often astounded by the contrast in the ways adults conduct their lives compared to the tight bubble I grew up in my youth.
It’s taken me 30 years of marriage to fully understand this simple concept. I appreciate the value of your videos and how much I have learned from them. Julie 🌷
I just discovered this book was in my free selections with my audible membership 😊
I'll definitely be adding this to my reading list 💜
One of my favorite inspirational books as well, along with yours! Small things over time matter!
Thank you, Jennifer, for always being so thorough and thoughtful with your content. Many people who post give tips on things they are newly trying out, which is OK
But ✨I appreciate you taking the time to reflect and speak from experience before posting on a topic✨
I have a total opposite lifestyle from yours, yet have gained SO much from your videos. Thank you☀️
Ah, thank you! I appreciate your comment ✨

I have read this book twice!!! I love it! It is worth reading and pondering in detail. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and experiences. I love listening to you! ❤
Thank you for sharing! You have inspired me to get my notebook and write down my goals ❤
Aloha Jennifer! I would love a video about what classic literature your family has enjoyed over the years. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing about this book. It has been on my list for awhile. You are always an inspiration and I cherish your channel!❤
What a wonderful video. I find it very inspiring. I have seen this compounding effect in my reading. I read every morning from 30 minutes to an hour depending on my daily activities. I am now reading about 2 books a month and I am amazed. It really does add up. It’s my relaxing “me time.”
Sounds like a must-read book that all will find very helpful.
Lovely lady,🥰 you are such a GOOD influence!
I love ❤️ this chat. Wow I have done all this, & more all my life. Married going on 50 years & also 70... I have always loved 📚 reading.I too do organizing &fasting& notes -list & most of all prayer... I have a 4000 sq ft house & I still keep it beautiful. Great women & men successful 👏 👍 🙌 . P.S.

Fantastic video! Very thoughtfully executed. Thank you so much! Classy and encouraging as always.
Based on your recommendation in this video I've purchased this book and I already read it and I can say it is really a book that everyone should read. Thank you for this video!🥰
Thank you, Jennifer ,for yet again a very inspiring video! I study you, because in my book you are a successful woman,who teaches me so much! And yes,I do think about you sometimes, when I keep calm and remain classy.😊 Sending you my love, Imola
I'm so happy to hear that, Imola! Thank you!

Thank you! Wonderful!
This was excellent Jennifer, thank you. So so timely for me and I love the rich wisdom from the book and your wise words!
Thank you!
Wonderful video 😍
Love this video. My first video of the day so very perfect for what I am going through. 🌹💯
In love with your beautiful home in the background. It’s so relaxing just to look at the neatness and chic decor. I hope you would share more home decorating and interior design content!
Your skin is so beautiful.
Not sure if you have a video about this already, but I would love to know what books you read with your kids ❤
I am so inspired by your videos. They are so encouraging. Thank you😇
Thanks for this video. I have just got on the library list to borrow this book-20 week wait AND just borrowed an audible (My first ever audible book) copy also from my library.
This video was so helpful. A lot I need to work on. Thank you!
I hope everyone here knows Jesus Christ as there personal Lord and Saviour! John 3:16 KJV, John 14:6 KJV and Romans 10:13 KJV.
Absolutely love this video Jennifer!! I have the exact goal in mind that I have just been pondering, I took the time here and now to write it! Thank you! ✍️ ❤
Amazing!
Thank you for sharing such thought-provoking information. I love watching your videos and always marvel at how much you are able to accomplish. Your insights are so valuable. You seem absolutely calm and classy.
A very well done video Jennifer . It was a pleasure to listen to you present this content so fluidly and add your personal touches to it. Thank you for your hard work and attention to detail.
Hi Jennifer. Thank you for this review. I read "Atomic Habits" last year and have felt and seen the positive effects of daily routines and wise choices. Life can become quite simple when you set it up that way for yourself. Not necessarily easy, but I like how James Clear says you give your brain a rest when you have a habit. This book sounds like volume 2 of the same thoughtful approach to living the life we want. I'm going to pick it up for sure. I've read all your books too and love them. I'm working on writing my own book, but so far I don't know what it's about. 🤣Until then, I'm just writing every day to see what happens. Oh... and keeping calm and remaining classy. xo karen
This came at such a good time. I have been mulling over how I don’t like where I’ve ended up and I would like to change it but I usually try to do everything at once. I definitely need to make smaller changes that I can keep up.
Also, I kept thinking of the air plane example. A few degrees change in direction from LA could be the difference between NY or DC. Make a sure you are pointed in the right direction.
Yes, he gives that example in the book too!
Another good, short book is
ONE SMALL STEP CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Sort book, long title!
Thank you for the encouraging video! I started a TH-cam channel two months ago under a different account. I have been getting and little discouraged and this video gave me a boost.
Always learning something new with you. Thank you. :)
Thank you for your inspiration, ideas, guidance, and sharing the things that you have found to be helpful. I love your book series!! I recently purchased three of them and am reading them now. I will add the books mentioned here to my reading list. Sending you Good vibes while writing your new book. Can't wait to read it!
I'm so happy you're enjoying the Madame Chic series! ♥
One of my favorite videos you’ve ever done and I’ve been watching for over a decade. Thank you for the inspiration! 🙏🏽
Such a great video!!! Thank you, Jennifer for sharing what you learn from that book. Those quotes are full of wisdom.
Now, I what to thank you for a hard work in every single vídeo.
Your videos gives us great advice, calm, courage and valuable learning. Whether it’s house keeping, personal development or an analysis of some piece of Art, they’re masterful, a jewel on the internet.
I wish you, and all friends here, a beautiful weekend. (This sunday we celebrate, in Spain, in st Joseph day, the Father’s day)
Best regards, thank you 🌷
Ah, thank you so much ✨
I’m 74, and I enjoy listening to you. Much of your “lessons“ are not useful to me, but you’re tone is wonderful. I always feel calm and full when I finish listening.
That’s a back-handed compliment and a half!
What kind of person says this? Surely there is a typo somewhere.
@@sherry9568 No, Sherry. It was meant as a compliment. I can edit that to say, “to me.” I’m sure Jennifer gets that. I don’t cook for a family, and my dress, health, and lifestyle challenges are different. That’s all I meant. My lesson from Jennifer is the calm joy that she both creates and communicates. This particular video is useful to anyone.
I understand what you mean. Thank you!
@@lovelyenglishnature3277 totally not a backhanded compliment! She’s simply saying the advice isn’t pertinent to her season of life per se but it’s still enjoyable to watch !
This was such an excellent presentation! Thank you so much!!
Thank you, Jennifer. Inspiring and improving lives, you are a magnanimous light. ❤
