      Surprisingly i did almost half of these but yeah, the consistency is the key. And i agree if the meditation one put on the first which is interpret as the most important, and i really agree with that. That i do yoga and enjoy it, but when i got problem about the busyness and skipped my yoga for two weeks, i felt stress out with my daily. I mean that's how I think yoga can help us decrease our stress.

    Moving the camera/lights/tripod to so many different places, creating such a time consuming intro, making beautiful graphics. I don’t think people understand how much time Jen spends on every video, when she could just do a simple sit-down and finish it in 40 minutes. This is an insane amount of filming hours, and I really appreciate it as a viewer. Since clothes encounters Jen’s videos were top notch, and she kept the standards high ever since. Congratulations on your really hard work Jen ❤

    Bullet journaling changed my life!! Mine is less about tracking tasks and more about mental health. I write down my moods, "celebrations" (things I'm proud of), lessons from therapy, things to do & see in my city, and check in each week with a small diary entry. It helps you to actually accomplish what you want to do while staying present and positive, rather than constantly striving for goals and perfection.

    Ugh, a much needed video! It's been 5 years since I graduated college and got my first job. But it feels like I'm still in my transition period.

    The way you explained writing changed my perspective. I’ve tried journaling before and I never liked it because like you mentioned, I’d get frustrated from not being able to write as fast as my thoughts. I never thought about how it can be a good thing - that it allows me to slow down and reflect on myself and the situation I may be going through. Thanks Jenn, I think I’ll give journalling another try 🫶

    Jenn, thank you! ❤️ This Video made me emotional. I am 25 and adulting is hard sometimes, but you reminded me that it's okay to do things at your own pace. Life is not a race. I started a challenge where I stretch everyday for 10 minutes because I have realised how the lack of movement and stretching has affected my ability to focus for a long period of time when I study. I am only on day two but my muscles ache already. This means I really need to continue with the challenge. It also distresses my mind.

    I would say that my adulting habit is to try to not procrastinate. As i grow, i encounter lots of different situations that I'm not familiar with, and it can make me want to avoid them 😅 So I try to force myself to tacle every new thing right away, so that I can feel more confident afterwards and learn. It's also something I apply in my everyday life around the house, because as time goes, I find that it is really precious so I want to spend as much time as I can doing things I love and enjoying myself. I can't do that if I have a pile of undone chores that I need to take care of... I understood that I'd rather spend 10 minutes a day doing things that are not fun but need to be done, and then do something else, than let them accumulate and finally ruin a day that could have been spent differently 😊

I'm officially getting into my 30s this year, and all of these things I can resonate big time. Thanks so much Jenn for being a HUGEEE inspiration to many.

    Jenn, you are my favorite in this YT space because you are thoughtful, honest, reflective and non-judgmental / hard on yourself. I am sure it's taken years of practice to get to this point but you've been such a positive influence. You make me more hopeful that there are people like yourself who are sharing ideas and advice that is NOT shallow, and instead rich in experience and active learning and comes from a place of genuine kindness. And this comes from a person who is very burnt out on "influencers" who are very steeped in consumerism and ego - and I know we're not all perfect and we all like "nice things" but I am very grateful this counterbalances it. Thank you and especially for your cooking videos - i've rewatched them many times lol

Your videos during clothes encounters were my weekly faves to watch. Took a break from TH-cam but during the pandemic, seeing your transformation into a maturing adulthood has brought me a similar feeling of back when I watched you: companionship. It feels like we're all progressing and maturing together and I appreciate all your nicely organized Virgo brain sharing your own methods and journey. Just wanted to leave an appreciation!

    These are all really good tips! Not sure if this would be considered a habit but something that has helped my self doubt and anxiety as a mother is being proud of an accomplishment no matter how small it may be. For example, getting up when I’m tired and making a simple dinner for my family instead of eating out is a small accomplishment but I still try to feel proud of myself in those moments. I feel like those small boosts in self esteem help me accomplish other things in my life that I may have felt too overwhelmed to conquer.

    Just sharing a habit that I've probably been doing for several years now, and that's to recap your day. Personally, recapping it with my significant other has helped a ton. It feels a bit like therapy when you look at your day in hindsight. You're able to find pockets of gratitude and moments that you, admittedly, could have reacted/done better. I'm blessed to have someone I can share this with, but I do think recapping it in writing or even in your mind before you sleep could be helpful too. And when I say recap, I mean, share all the details you want. Even the ones that seem "insignificant"- like the snack you ate, the outfit you wore, the sky you saw, etc. ❤

    Another little thing that has helped me is to, sometimes, do nothing else while I'm eating. I find it tempting to watch videos or read, scroll, or listen to music while eating, but doing nothing else but eat every now and then helps me to appreciate my food, touch base with myself, and break the cycle of constant digital or mental stimulation.

    One of the main changes I made when I became an adult was becoming an organized person. It’s too general, yes, but it’s really important. I like to keep track of everything in a diary, making lists of what I have to do, setting goals etc; I always write everything down. Literally, write down anything that goes through your head, because otherwise you’re going to forget even though you fool yourself and think otherwise. Another thing that is really important to me is to be digitally organized. Like, keeping every picture and document in the right folder, not having everything scattered around your computer or phone, and truthfully, that’s really gonna make your life easier.

    This is one of my favorite videos of yours probably ever. Not only were the ~vibes~ great, with the editing, videography, etc., but you're so well spoken and did a great job of explaining each thing in a completely different way than I've ever heard any of these things explained before. It's been wonderful as a long time follower seeing your journey and different eras, and I can really tell that they've all converged to this wonderful, balanced version of yourself.

    Every single one of these I agree with whole-heartedly. In college I took some research courses that required readings/teachings on yoga and meditation. Through that I began to practice and saw the improvements first hand. It's now part of my everyday routine. I also journal, which really helps in moments of anger, anxiety and confusion. I am currently becoming more interested in reading, which I can relate to your commentary on - because in school, reading is an assignment and you almost never get to choose what you are reading. However it has now become a goal of mine to essentially keep learning and stay interested via reading. This is a great video, I really appreciate it.

    I found this video (and you) last night. I have been binge-watching your videos since and I will use this comment as my diary entry to say I'm very grateful to arrive here. I'm feeling at a point in my life where I forgot who I was because I was too busy making everyone around me happy and that unfortunately included changing who I was. I have found your content so relatable and easy to digest and process (even if it's kinda tricky for the heart) for me in this new journey. Thank you for this, please keep doing it for as far as you can and feel happy 💜

    The part where you said that your mind is racing with so many thoughts that you hate how your hand can't match up with the speed is something I relate to. However, when you said that you love how journaling/writing helps with this cause it forces you to slow down enabled me to reconsider my feelings when journaling while frustrated. I love your perspective, and I think Imma start journaling more.

    Your voice and the whole vibe for the video was absolutely calming! ♥️ I love how I’ve incorporated a bit of most of the habits you spoke about in the video and this was a reminder for me to keep going and pushing through these habits and learning more about myself. Thank you for this :’)

    I love this video so much & def agree on the writing part! Writing is SO therapeutic especially when you have so many emotions racing through your mind and need to pin point what it is that you’re feeling. Thank you for the adulting tips! It’s not easy being an adult sometimes 🪴BUT, we live and we learn

      Don't forget she doesn't do the video work, she also had to close Eggie because she overpriced her products and ghosted customers who wanted refunds. Also abuse of staff in sweatshops. Her content is scammy, don't be fooled young uns, she's taking you for a ride. She had to delete the video Coming Clean about Eggie because it showed who she really is

    I usually, go for a walk and try to reach my 10k steps, meditate, read self help books, go to the gym and sleep at least 8 hours. I also find sometimes just standing in nature and just taking in the sounds help me to wind down after a stressful day or if I just need to clear my mind.

    Walking and talking to other people was another good change I made that I can recommend apart from those you've already mentioned. Made me realize other people are also lost, scared and wanting to feel accepted and loved and you both can become stronger. It taught me a lot.

    To deal with anxiety I have to center myself with counter phrases : grounding myself in remembering at the end of the day as long as my loved ones and myself are healthy and happy in the present, the thing I am worrying about is smaller in comparison. This is something I am practicing into habit! Protecting my peace!

    You're so wholesome Jenn, I find myself laughing at your remarks and comments - remembering a lot of those insightful experiences and experimenting with those types of activities helped me with elevating my awareness/knowledge and health (and deep depression) despite being a guy, I found that the norm was to run away from your feelings and avoid these types of activities all together as they are "feminine" traits but I found it to be enduring and nurturing, which I think it's vital to growth - I find it a refreshing reminder that being genuine, authentic, and wholesome/down to earth has been one of my values in life I forgot to cultivate, and I think a lot of the things you listed are things that have helped me become a better version of myself 100%. All really great reminders/recommendations!

    I do like the soft version of these.😂 Meditating when I remember, stretch if I remember, journal as well. I get so caught up in the daily routine that making time for these helpful habits seems inconvenient. But really it’s incredibly helpful and great for my body😂that’s the thought that keeps me coming back to them. I do things all day, to meet a deadline, check something off a list, or help someone out, I tend to put myself on the back burner. Someone said to me recently, “why do you matter less than anyone else? Put yourself first”. I tell myself that and remind myself that it is important to take the time in the day to focus on these good habits and help myself out. I love your editing style Jenn! Your videos always put a smile on my face 😘

    Hi Jenn just discovered your channel. Your content seems very interesting. I'm looking forward to see the watch the rest of your channel. Your video was on my For You page, at a moment in my life where things are moving fast... I'm turning 18 in a few months and inspire to enter med school in September. I need new habits for my personal life outside of my academics and your advices are just perfect. Thank you so much. It feels good to see other people implementing new strategies to grow, I feel less lonely in the process. Thank you so much

    Something that I find really helps me is to every morning open the window, stick my head out and just take in the air. Our cat usually joins me and it feels cozy and like we're both just appreciating the new day just buzzing with potential, freshness and gratitude. Another thing is to take breaks as seriously as work. It's too easy to go from one screen to another, but to actually try to do nothing or go outside even if it's just the balcony or outside your home makes the most out of the break and you will feel more refreshed :)

    I have to say I clicked on this video randomly had never seen your channel before and I really enjoyed it. While ive heard all of these habits before and practiced them myself on and off throughout the years, your videography and the way you explain them on such a human level with your own insight instead of just quoting facts and in a sense putting yourself in a glorified position (like ive seen others do) cause you practiced them, made this video such a safe and inspiring space. Thank you for that.
