Happy Friday from snowy Copenhagen! ❄👋🏻😍 When you watch - remember our pact: leave a comment! Let me know which self-care option(s) you like best from this week's plan. I have chosen number 4! (And probably number 1, 2 and 3 too, ha ha!)
“Creating a life you don’t need a vacation from!” What a great statement! Wish I had heard that 40 years ago. I have that now. Just never thought of it that way. Just finished decluttering the refrigerator prior to leaving on a month long trip.
Having the queen pass down her rank while she is still alive is such a blessing to her son and to all the people who love her ❤ she is able to participate in welcoming her son - I can not imagine a better way. Love all your missions and i will try to do them all ❤
Perspective on gifts was very nice. I liked it. Also on how leading a simplified life will keep us away from taking vacation from some od the strings that we are attached to in life. Now, I would do selfcare 1 and two this week. Have a nice day Diane
“Thrive instead of just survive”! And “Create a life you don’t need a vacation from” ❤❤ Love love love these statements! Thank you Diane 🙏 I’ll be doing #4 this week and a manicure 😊
I did use your music idea with headphones 🎧during the Home Blessing Hour today (ran out of time the week when this video aired). Wow! was I surprised at how good it made me feel. I used oldies from high school/college and had a blast, plus thought of how much has happened since then and how thankful I am for my life. Thankful for you, too, Diane, and your teaching on the importance of self-care. Would never have thought this one up!
My phrase for this year is Revive to Thrive! After a few difficult years I'm trying to get back to better energy and health levels so that I can enjoy life more. I'm being kinder to myself and working to simplify as much as possible. I had a nice relaxing bath this week, spent time reading and listened to some favourite music 😊
2 and 4 I did this afternoon before watching the video 😂 My dog was confused as I walked a different way and in a different direction 😅 when I came home I started music that I like and I do not listen to very often because my husband doesn't like it. He was not at home this afternoon so party time while cleaning 🎉😂 I will do a pedicure this weekend. Have to pamper myself a little bit after a tough start into the week. ❤
I love your enthusiasm for life and helping other women get our homes in order. Love the 10 minute rule! It works!! Quite often it leads to 20, 30, or 40 minutes. I love when that happens. The hardest part is always the first 10. 10 minutes is good. Progress over perfection wins every time. Thank you Diane ❤
I feel that gifts have fulfilled their purpose once they are given. If you cant keep or use them, pass them on to a friend or give them to a charity who can use them to raise money. More foot pampering for me this weekend! Thanks Diane. X
I’m working in my office today boxing up 2023 and putting my tax documents together. Not a fun job, so doing two self cares. First, it’s pedicure day and secondly, I am stopping at the library to browse after gassing the car. 👏🏻. By the way, I love this new 3 day a week format. Thank you.🌸
🎉I’m getting the place all ready & freshened up as I pack. So I will choose your ‘go somewhere you have never been before’ challenge. Hubby and I are heading to Peru for a sightseeing hiking vacation. (Part of the trip is hiking.) I hope to wind down in the evenings keeping connected on TH-cam. When we get back, I’ll do a quick turnaround before I head to Thailand with a couple of friends. THEN, when I get back I plan to pick back up where I’ve left off decluttering and cleaning. Lynel from MN!❤
Rest is productive! Taking a moment to enjoy a warm cup of coffee or some good quality chocolate is my favourite and helps me be a better mom and wife☺️
Oh those words, "Creating a life you don't need a vacation from." ! That is my goal this year. Vacations are exhausting me and depleting our resources. I need to rethink my choices. Thanks for the thinking fodder, Diane.
I've got the blahs myself this morning but watching your video and getting my morning routine done has helped. I'll probably do my nails for my self care. It's unusually cold here in Texas and my hands are so chapped and dry. Thanks Diane, for brightening my day.
Diane, I just LOVE how motivated u make me feel after watching u. I also want to say thank you for how u stated that we can create a life where we love our everydays. I had not realized until right when u said it....but when I worked I did like u...I lived for holidays and vacations...and now I am retired and love my everydays, and even though I love to go on vacation....it doesn't have the same draw as it used to. Now I realize why....thank you so mich for sharing your life with us❣️
I hadn't even watched this yet, but I very recently subscribed to Spotify. I listened to music Sunday evening and started making playlists. Congratulations to the new royals!🎉
Glad to know you are more lively now. Thanks for posting the royal procession. My news did not have it. I've been enjoying Victoria magazine's November/December 2023 issue which has several articles entitled "Holiday Hygge" with photos of Copenhagen's Christmas decorations. Self care #1--a foot bath in a small heated bathroom. Should do more often. It really makes a difference.
Self-care will be a pedicure and also continuing the declutter mission. Congratulations on Denmark's new King and Queen! I remember being in England for the Queen's Silver Jubilee with the British side of my family when I was little. Lots of celebrations!
2017 you started TH-cam. I found you that June. I moved into our new house and started my new job too in September. All the same week. You made me look at my life so differently. THANK YOU ❤💐🤗. We went to Whistler over night Friday night for mini vacation with our friends. Such fun.
Cheers to the new year where we "create a life that we don't need a vacation from!" 🎉 I'm going to do a manicure for myself which is something I should do more often.💅 Thanks again Diane! Your videos are my favorite of any I watch on You Tube! Many blessings in return to you. 🥰
Hi, Diane! I indulged in a cozy bubble bath, added a tiered shelf to the guest bath window sill for toiletries and listened to music as I drove 1.5 hours to my DFI's birthday celebration. Congratulations on Denmark's new King and Queen!💖
I love the 3 day format as part of the rhythm of the week. I'll be listening and playing, on my ukulele, favorite music and going somewhere new, perhaps a restaurant.
I walked with a friend this morning and she took me down a path that I hadn’t explored before lovely to find a new route and enjoy great conversation with my friend😊
I’m here. When a family member is in despair it is so difficult to not let that affect your mood. It’s a process. One foot in front of the other. Carry on.
I’m doing #1 soak my feet, give myself a pedicure. And #3 add something lovely, maybe a nice candle or plant in my bathroom. Loving this mission 3 times a week!! Woo hoo!! 🎉
I love that! You enjoy and love your every day life instead of thinking I can’t wait until our next vacation. I am content/happy at home as well. I have been trying to simplify items and declutter. I am trying to have cleaning routines so the house does not get overwhelming. I still struggle most with paper clutter and clutter on the kitchen island.
Happy Friday! I could not watch this weeks videos until today. We have been without cable/network for a week. They were wonderful. I have been working on the kitchen and bedroom a bit every day. We were snowed in so the timing was perfect. I gave myself a manicure and got lots of rest. Looking forward to next weeks videos. Happy Birthday to your husband and God bless, King Frederick.
I'm a little late in commenting this week because I hurt my hand and couldn't do anything. Luckily today I've felt better so I got things done. I think the thing I'm learning is to not over do, not expect it to all be done at the same time, and to give myself time for the self care things. Today I focused on a window in my bathroom I can't reach easily. It looks great now I feel so good about it. Thanks again for keeping me company.
Diane ❤ Create a life you don’t need a vacation from! Quote of the year for 2024 ✨ Last year we remodeled 2 small bedrooms into a Master Suite. Every day feels like vacation in an Airbnb now! Such a worthwhile investment. I’ve been absent from your videos and such a perfect time to rejoin 💖
Good morning Diane. Is Sunday morning and I watched now your video. What a nice phrase "creating a life you don't need a vacation from". I will try this. My self care for this week is listening all the trucks of my favorit artist Chris De Burgh. When I listen to his songs I am connecting with the divine. Thank you for being you. Love from Cyprus.

I'm doing #4
And I love that you shared video of the Queen and the procession 💝
That's so awesome to watch (I'm in USA)
Did my LOL and shoveled snow, now I'm going to enjoy doing some quilting. 😊
💙 me too #4 and probably 1, 2, and 3. 😁 I like them all! I’ll come back to this video to remind myself. 😊
I want to do ALL FOUR self-care, one a day! Hee Hee.
#4 is my choice
“Creating a life you don’t need a vacation from!” What a great statement! Wish I had heard that 40 years ago. I have that now. Just never thought of it that way. Just finished decluttering the refrigerator prior to leaving on a month long trip.
I loved that bit as well!
I loved that message too!
I love that quote about creating a life we dont need a vacation from!
“I love my everydays and that’s the difference between surviving and thriving”. Carry on shining bright up in the sky, Diane 🤩
Having the queen pass down her rank while she is still alive is such a blessing to her son and to all the people who love her ❤ she is able to participate in welcoming her son - I can not imagine a better way. Love all your missions and i will try to do them all ❤

I just love you Diane 🥰 Thx for the inspiration
Hurray for you!!! You are the one I applaud for helping strangers.
Thanks for the motivation. I think I'll try a new coffee shop as my self care mission.

Enjoying the warmth of being in the company of my family in IL as my self care.

She has the right idea. When people ask where I would like to vacation I say, I live in my vacation spot.
I love your enthusiasm for life and helping other women get our homes in order.
Love the 10 minute rule!
It works!!
Quite often it leads to 20, 30, or 40 minutes.
I love when that happens.
The hardest part is always the first 10.
10 minutes is good. Progress over perfection wins every time.
Thank you Diane ❤
Wishing Queen Margaretta many happy healthy years and the new King and Queen.
I feel that gifts have fulfilled their purpose once they are given. If you cant keep or use them, pass them on to a friend or give them to a charity who can use them to raise money. More foot pampering for me this weekend! Thanks Diane. X
Agree!!!!!
Me too for foot care!! ❤
I do the same. Many of my office gifts were passed on!
Thriving not surviving . Love that! Our mindset is so important. X

Taking a bubble bath, listening to old-favorite music and I plan to add more hygge to my bathroom
I, too, will choose #4 and listen to the oldies. I LOVE the ole time rock and roll of the 50`s and 60`s.
Loved the pictures of the coranation so important to have something good everyday and not feel bad about that
I think the idea of making your everyday life enjoyable is key. I'm decluttering with that as my main aim. Still working on the routines!
I agree with your gift giving advice. Just say thank you and then move on !
🎉I’m getting the place all ready & freshened up as I pack. So I will choose your ‘go somewhere you have never been before’ challenge.

Enjoy the every days! ❤ I’m going to listen to some favorite music this week!
Thank you for the sunshine you shine. I’ve thinned a tired bouquet of flowers and put the new bouquet in the bathroom. How cheerful!
Good to see your video with passion and inspiration. More Diane to the people would create a happier and better world.
Loving your everydays is the definition of thriving....That's huge! ♥ I love your videos Diane.
Thank you, Denise! It certainly wasn't like that many years ago, ha ha!
I love to joy ride and plan to travel a different path this week. It is always a new discovery of some sort.
Yay for us for causing ourselves to ENJOY the EVERYDAY! 🎉
A bubble bath sounds really good to me! I also have my frameless candles on every night while I’m watching tv. It always gives a lovely atmosphere.
Good morning! Washing dishes while watching.
Rah, rah, rah - I am cheering you on while you wash the dishes!
Rest is productive! Taking a moment to enjoy a warm cup of coffee or some good quality chocolate is my favourite and helps me be a better mom and wife☺️
I love the way you say we cleaned the bathroom together ❤️ we did. I flat out enjoyed it too. Its like having a personal support worker in my life.
Folded laundry, and tidied the house while I watched your video. makes the time go faster watching your videos while I do these things. Thanks.
I love your new simplify plan! ❤
Oh those words, "Creating a life you don't need a vacation from." ! That is my goal this year. Vacations are exhausting me and depleting our resources. I need to rethink my choices. Thanks for the thinking fodder, Diane.
I love the flylady system. Use when have a house keeper come in too as she then stays on my schedule.
Love your comments on thriving. I am going to find my footbath and soak my feet while listening to some fave tunes. 🎧🎼🎹
I've got the blahs myself this morning but watching your video and getting my morning routine done has helped. I'll probably do my nails for my self care. It's unusually cold here in Texas and my hands are so chapped and dry. Thanks Diane, for brightening my day.
Self care number 1 for me. Nails. Thank you Diane for all your encouragement.
Diane, I just LOVE how motivated u make me feel after watching u. I also want to say thank you for how u stated that we can create a life where we love our everydays. I had not realized until right when u said it....but when I worked I did like u...I lived for holidays and vacations...and now I am retired and love my everydays, and even though I love to go on vacation....it doesn't have the same draw as it used to. Now I realize why....thank you so mich for sharing your life with us❣️
🙏🏻😍
Same here. Now that I'm retired, I LOVE my every days.❤
Yes, vacations don’t have the same draw when you are enjoying your everyday.
I hadn't even watched this yet, but I very recently subscribed to Spotify. I listened to music Sunday evening and started making playlists. Congratulations to the new royals!🎉
Going some place new and listening to music are my self care. Thanks for always reminding us to take care of ourselves. Great video as usual.
Glad to know you are more lively now. Thanks for posting the royal procession. My news did not have it. I've been enjoying Victoria magazine's November/December 2023 issue which has several articles entitled "Holiday Hygge" with photos of Copenhagen's Christmas decorations. Self care #1--a foot bath in a small heated bathroom. Should do more often. It really makes a difference.
Yay! Here we go! Gonna light my candle, get a cup of something warm, and cozy up to the inspiration. Tidy up the desk while I listen. 🕊🌿🌷✨
Yay, cheers with a cuppa tea!
I love that finding joy in the everyday 🌿
Self-care will be a pedicure and also continuing the declutter mission. Congratulations on Denmark's new King and Queen! I remember being in England for the Queen's Silver Jubilee with the British side of my family when I was little. Lots of celebrations!
2017 you started TH-cam. I found you that June. I moved into our new house and started my new job too in September. All the same week. You made me look at my life so differently. THANK YOU ❤💐🤗. We went to Whistler over night Friday night for mini vacation with our friends. Such fun.

I’m off to pamper myself - think I’ll give myself a manicure while listening to a favorite CD 😊
Thank you, I decluttered and tidied my food cupboards whilst listening. Self-care will be a foot soak with Epsom salts 😊
Did a hot spot and then watched for a bit of self care. Time for my loving movement now!
Good Friday to you - thank you for this so much! Yes, I do see all the videos as part of my self-care, indeed.
Nails. Like the ideal of creating a life when you aren’t waiting for the holidays :-)
I’ll be listening to my favorite music for my self care
I'm going to choose #1 and give myself a much-needed manicure. I can't thank you enough, Diane, for your wonderful videos ❤.
„I love my everydays,“ thanks for keeping inspiring us, Diane! I will do 1,2 and 4.
Loving your explanation of thriving rather than surviving.
I'm choosing to play my favorite music! Thanks, Diane, and cheers to the new King and Queen of Denmark!🎉🎉
I love taking a new route somewhere. It’s a great local and free way to refresh.
Love your new queen especially since she is also a Mary Elizabeth. Going to put music on and dance. Have a wonderful weekend!
No:4 for me, I feel I can do anything while listening to my favourite songs
#4 and probably #1, I love good music and a warm bubble bath!
I’ve always had that as a motto, too! When we do go on holiday we’re usually looking forward to going home! The everyday is so important.
Hi, Diane! I indulged in a cozy bubble bath, added a tiered shelf to the guest bath window sill for toiletries and listened to music as I drove 1.5 hours to my DFI's birthday celebration. Congratulations on Denmark's new King and Queen!💖
I'm' pulling out my valentine's decorations and candles and enjoying them!
Yes! Loving my everyday life, that's the goal! ❤
I too am creating a life I don't need a vacation from. Your videos help me stay on track. Thank you for being so fabulous 🎉
Bubble bath and my favourite music, yes, yes! Looking forward to doing it!
All four, hopefully! definitely a bubble bath, a pedicure, and a day out - horse drawn carriage ride through the countryside and woods can't wait!!
I love the 3 day format as part of the rhythm of the week. I'll be listening and playing, on my ukulele, favorite music and going somewhere new, perhaps a restaurant.
Thank you for your inspiration. Glad you are feeling better ❌⭕. Self care is manicure and cozy tea with my favorite old sitcom - I love Lucy. ❤
I aspire to love my every days! That is the goal ☺
I am in a bubble bath watching you! That is the best way to de-stress and keep my thoughts positive. I'll also work on #4.
Thank you for your positivity every week
I love to watch your videos and because of your upbeat personality it always makes me feel happy to watch.
I walked with a friend this morning and she took me down a path that I hadn’t explored before lovely to find a new route and enjoy great conversation with my friend😊
I’m here. When a family member is in despair it is so difficult to not let that affect your mood. It’s a process. One foot in front of the other. Carry on.
Took the time to listen to some favorite songs from high school and childhood. SO fun!
I’m doing #1 soak my feet, give myself a pedicure. And #3 add something lovely, maybe a nice candle or plant in my bathroom.
Loving this mission 3 times a week!! Woo hoo!! 🎉
I just live to listen to you, dear Diane ❤🎉🎉🎉
Hoo-rah! for the new King! I'll be creating a new music list to listen to!
The nails was my self care treat
Lovely, positive, doable reminders. Thank you, Diane.
For my self care I’m going somewhere new today with my hubby… thank you Diane!
I love that! You enjoy and love your every day life instead of thinking I can’t wait until our next vacation. I am content/happy at home as well. I have been trying to simplify items and declutter. I am trying to have cleaning routines so the house does not get overwhelming. I still struggle most with paper clutter and clutter on the kitchen island.

Daily self-care! ❤I’ve enjoyed a few spa moments this week as well as changing things up a bit around the house. I want to add 2 & 4 as well! 🎉
Good morning Diane from Australia love your new videos they are so motivating, my home is getting better every day.
Looking forward to spending 2024 with you🎉

I choose pampering my 🦶🦶.
Thank you for the video and the self care missions; great ideas!
Mission number 1 complete 😊
I'm going to pamper myself by doing a manicure and pedicure as well as listening to my favorite music - thank you!

Thanks for being our cheerleader ❤
