As someone in her early twenties, a first-year teacher and someone who is going through many life transitions, this video was a beautiful reminder of the things I CAN do to bring peace into my daily life!
“And it can even be counterintuitive, like thinking of yourself less.” So GOOD Michelle 👏🏼
I work out before work and then get coffee on the way to work and it’s a nice way to take care of myself before the day gets busy ❤️
I’ve been pretty overwhelmed lately in my last semester of college, and this is exactly the reminder I needed to reset and simplify my life in this crazy transitional time. I’ve been watching your videos since you were in college and I was in high school, and it’s been so fun to kind of grow up with you and look to you as a role model for simplicity. Thank you, Michelle! 💞
ah, you are so sweet Grace. thanks for being here for so long, throughout all my seasons. I hope you end your semester strong! ❤️
Love your point about not having to get up early just because everyone says that’s what it means to be productive 🙌🏻 thanks for sharing your tips!
For me my breakfast and what I feed myself in the morning is very very important. I always feel more awake and just over all better throughout my day when I wake up and give myself a breakfast that is filling and healthy.
For me it's taking a "me day" when I don't socialise, recharge my battery and clean the house! There is something so therapeutic in cleaning 😊
I agree ❤️ always good for the soul, starting with a clean space!
I love how youtubers influence and support each other. That makes us soo happy too 💞.
same here! really thankful for my online friends on here ❤️
With the craziness of the beginning of the year, I really appreciate you focusing on care for ourselves. Especially in January and February, there's such a pressure to make all these changes to be the best version of yourself, but sometimes that doesn't include simply caring for ourselves
Love this video!!! Totally agree with everything on your list, especially with teaching ourselves contentment by delaying gratification or eventually foregoing purchases. So many brands these days are trying to sell us false promises of joy or fulfillment if we just get a hold of what they're selling, only to realize soon after that another object in our lives won't necessarily make us feel better about ourselves. We're eternal souls after all, so nothing of this temporal world will satisfy us but Christ. 💖
so much truth here ❤️ thank you for sharing, Sandi!
Reading the bible for like 30 minutes to an hour every day really helps me
Hi Michelle! My best friend just introduced me to your channel a couple weeks ago and I have been loving your content so much. I am a second year medical student and life has been very stressful lately...I watch your videos when I first start off my day and have my breakfast and they are so calming. It's like having a friend that I get to see every day! Thank you for the beautiful and aesthetic content you create.
Loved this! I love starting my day with my New Morning Mercies devotional and writing in my 5 minute journal and waiting until I've been up for half an hour before I check my phone. Really gets my day started off right!
I try to take care of my body so that I can have energy and feel my best. So I try to eat the best I can, move my body daily, rest and try to de-stress by slowing down and enjoy the moment. Getting together with people and laughing. I feel like everything you said is spot on. Thank you for sharing.
Love this. So happy to see how living independently and settling down has evolved you as a person. Continue to grow
Your view of self care and videos about it over the years have truly changed the way I view self care and I LOVE how you explain it. Thanks for this video 💛
You said at the beginning of this vlog that you wanted these things to go beyond surface level... and you definitely achieved that! I really resonate with many if not all of these tips, and have found them really beneficial in feeling at peace in my own life. Beautiful video, Michelle - I really admire the way you choose to live your life and your Christ-like perspective : )
“I want to use my talents, and you can take care of yourself by meeting that potential” I felt that one!!
A small thing I do is dim the lights, play piano music, and stretch before bed 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing these ideas. One that I think is important is making sure your finances are in good order. Nothing more stressful than losing control of your finances.
amen! a very practical tip for caring for your wellbeing ❤️
Great video Michelle! Many wonderful points! I can relate to many of them. I love having a clean tidy space and quiet time in my thoughts and with the Lord. 😃📖🙏🏻
Wow, thank you Michelle! My spiritual life has been definitely more of a "Valley" than a "Mountaintop" these days and it is so nice to see how to incorporate it very simply into my everyday routines! I also have been über-focused on my hair lately, as it was thinned out too much and cut short last year and I have been doing SO MUCH to get it to where I want it for my wedding in 4 months - but going out and buying EVERY SINGLE thing recommended is not going to fix that, so the purchasing advice was also very much needed. Thank you for putting these together!
I’ve just began listening to your podcasts!! I’ve loved your videos for years now, and can’t believe I didn’t listen to your podcasts earlier! Thank you for being so authentic, you are an incredible role model!💓
ah, I appreciate the support so much! thanks for listening ❤️❤️❤️
I'm an accountant and Im working 6 days a week for about 60 hours total right now and today at lunch, one of my coworkers who is such a positive light asked all of us to share something we are looking forward to this week and I couldn't think of anything!!! I will really need to work more on this to create a fun thing to get the week through until when I have Sunday off.
Um, I just started the video, did a double take, and then a “heck yesss!” to the Buckeye representation I immediately saw in your closet clip! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 OH! ❤😊
This video is so calming and is such a good reminder to actually take care of ourselves. Thanks Michelle😊
I really resonated with this video… There’s something to be said for slow living… Listen to your body and if you’re tired take a nap! It’s OK… We’ve got a learn to be easy on ourselves sometimes…🙏🏻❣️🙏🏻❣️
Such a beautiful and thoughtful video
This was much needed. Your videos always make me feel so calm!!
Beautiful, these tips are on point 🙌🏼

You inspire me so much
❤️❤️❤️
love this video :)))
thank you, Subhiksha! ❤️
Hi Michelle. Can you do a video on how to declutter when you have so much stuff? I have a lot of stuff taking up space in my room and i don't even know were to start.
hey! love the video
i was wondering if the rosehip oil has been helping ur skin?
Such a great video! Can I ask where you got that blue cardigan? It looks super comfortable and cute!
Making time for self-care is hard sometimes, but always worth it in the long run 🙏
for sure ❤️ I hope you're well, Admir!
@@michellereedg ❤️ hope you are as well Michelle!! I’m doing great and feeling happy overall
Hi Michelle, since you live in Dallas, I suggest that you visit International Society for Krishna Consciousness
Meditation center in Dallas, Texas
Also please vlog about your experience. I would love to hear about it from you.
thank you for being such a light Michelle. your videos always calm me and put me in such a great mood! grateful to have found your channel more than a year ago now 🥰 I’m engaged and going to be married at 22 as well-my fiancé and I (met at college like you & Aidan) can’t WAIT to get a golden retriever pup once we get married. we’ve been wanting one for so long now! crazy how there are many similarities between us haha. I look up to you in so many ways 🤍
I am getting deja vu and it might be just be me, but is this a reupload? Still love the video!
I must've given this to a lot of people lately.
"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving." - Albert Einstein
Nowadays I never force myself to wake up early. Since I'm a college student of the CUNY system, I do not have to wake up early, unless I have a class early. And nowadays I end up falling asleep at 10 PM.🤦♂️ What in hell should I do?
Have you ever heard of the named Alexa Luria or a foodie account GIRL WITH A GOURMET PALATE? Also have you ever heard of the snack BELLIWELLI?
Not in a great mood right now, but this video definitely makes me feel better and calms me down! 🤍 I watch one of your videos or listen to your podcast almost everyday and I absolutely love your online content! 🤗 Thank you for creating such beautiful and meaningful content! Sending you my love!
they said there'll be days like this! better things on the horizon, I hope you get some rest today Lulia ❤️
@@michellereedg thank you very much! 🤗🤍
