Thank you for this video. I have chronic health issues and always feel guilty for taking time out to rest. I'm getting better at it as I get older. Hope you're having a good day.
I just love this Connie, so brilliant and gently loving. I lost my son and father a few years back and had a lot of trauma in my life plus aging, soon to be 64. This system s method is so helpful for me because there are simply days that I don’t have a lot of energy or feel good… this works so much better than goals. Many blessings and appreciation to you and for you! Michele
I'm dealing with chronic pain and one of my systems I'm creating is starting my day gently, which includes watching one of your lovely videos. Your voice is so soothing to me, and you always have such amazing insights. Much love.
It's wonderful that you are tuning into your body and honoring how you feel. I feel honored to be part of your gentle morning routine. Thank you for your support!
Thank you connie I struggle a lot if I have 2 good days I can have 5 bad days I’m been really trying to decluttering my small home but no matter how hard I try I never seem to achieve a happy place I’ve had a lot of mental trauma in my life my goal is to get in a place that I’m clutter free and be able to find things in my home rather than having to search for days and have a clear kitchen with worktops free to work on instead of being lined with stuff I’m feeling very overwhelmed 😭
You can do it. Celebrate every small success with a feeling of gratitude to yourself. Feel the gratitude. The more you practice this, this positive energy will give you the strength to keep going. And you will keep moving forward. be hugged
You are on the right track. Listening to your body and taking breaks when needed. Baby steps, baby steps! Declutter a small corner of your counter top, then stop and appreciate the work you did. Repeat this process each day until the counter is cleared. Having a clutter free environment is soothing and relaxing. You've got this! Sending you happiness and peace
@@ConnieRiet thank you connie I’ve managed 40% in January I’m hoping I can do another 20% in February then hopefully by march I will be finally felling like a winner thank you for your very helpful videos
Thanks, Connie, for uploading. I can see systems are kinder to our minds and body, rather than a goal, which is either hit or missed. In other words, a more gentle way of achieving what we want in life, without the pressures associated with setting goals.
Thank you so much for this. I’m recovering from breast cancer treatment and am approaching my 70th birthday. Recovery is slower than I had hoped, but I’m gradually decluttering. I have to accept slow progress on many fronts, so the idea of accepting the journey rather than yearning for the goals has touched my heart and soul, as so many of the things you talk about do. Xx
Hi Connie - I just found you on You Tube and I LOVE your podcast. I also saw the one where you say that you and your husband have sold everything and are moving away. I sincerely hope that you continue to post these wonderful videos. I am going to view all the ones that I have missed. I wish you love and happiness in your future!! Cheryl
What a great vidéo 😊 you have the art to deliver such important and deep messages on a simple way and esthetic way. A big thank you and a lot of love from France ❤

Exactly, money is always eager and ready to work for anyone who is ready to employ it. That is why it’s nice to start up an investment now. I have researched about this bitcoin and I found it profitable.
@@lorenzodias8738 I have been researching all this while for a digital asset investment and I found bitcoin to be the most profiting of them all , I’m definitely bouncing on the opportunity, thank you so much.
I understand the fact that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is a hard thing to do because i have no idea of how and where to invest in these?
@@anthonythobias2034 In situations like this,I always recommend to people on getting guidance at least from someone that understands price action and all that while you strive on improving yourself by watching videos and learning fundamental analysis.
Lately I’ve been thinking of buying cryptocurrency for retirement, I’ve set asides $350k to invest but along the line,I usually get cold feet, maybe because I have no idea what I’m doing,
I tried the ukulele don’t think I have the patience, thought it was the instrument so purchased a different one and realised the instruments are fine it’s me that needs to change.
How can I change my life to be less hectic when I work full time, have a long commute to/from work, have adult kids living at home, grocery shop, cook, pay bills, clean the house, etc. My kids do help a lot but there is no time left for me, my goals. I'm so sorry to sound so discouraged, so negative. My question of how to have a less hectic life is not meant to be snarky but one that I would truly love help with. Many thanks XO
Hey I'd like to practice yoga and walking everyday too! HIIT workouts or running raises my cortisol too high right now while trying to heal from my chronic illness
Thank you, Connie.. I really want to have such a life like what you do. Now I am trying to create good habits. You inspired me so much. Waiting for your next video. Love from me in Indonesia
I have heard that Atomic Habits has many useful tips. I have not yet read his book, so I don't feel I could reference it until I do. Atomic Habits is on my "to read" list. Thanks so much for your input.
Thank you Connie for this video. In the past few months I have learned that many of my health issues I've had is from a brain injury to my Limbic system. I am trying to retrain and gently heal this, and while it is working (slowly) I find I am trying to get too many things in my day. I have sat down trying to create a system for me, but really not sure what that looks like since I keep changing it into a schedule to make things fit. (Which doesn't work at all). Could you expound your systems so I can understand a little better what that may look like? Thank you again. You are inspiring me.
Hi! I can relate to adjusting daily to accommodate brain injury issues and fatigue. I find that there is usually a battle between what my mind thinks I "should" be doing and what my body is able to do. The more I can tune into what my body needs, the less burned out I get. A system would be to create time blocks throughout the day. Example: 1 hour for work, one hour self-care, one hour social time with family, one hour work..... In my designated time I stay focused on the assigned task, doing as much as possible. Time blocks works well for me. The key is to find systems that work best for you and your life. Sending you happiness & peace
@@ConnieRiet That is a GREAT help. I've never looked at my day that way. Thank you very much. This feels like I can breath again and it feels smoother for my day.
Thank you beautiful soul for sharing your magic with us. Thank you for being there for your soul in all time when no one was there due to any reason. Divine bless you with an abundance of magic health wealth love money divineness kindness prosperity peace. 🙏🙂🐼
Thank you for this lovely and loving vlog. I read "Atomic Habits" last year, lost my grip and am now working on coming back to loving the tiny changes and not striving for the big outcome. Your gentle wisdom has encouraged me in a big way today. Thank you. xo karen
Hi Connie, I love your videos and would love to make something similar. I, too, am looking to simplify and slow down. However, since I currently write books, have a podcast, and a couple of YT channels, I know the work that goes into making and editing your gorgeous videos. How do you find the time and energy to do it all, yet live the simple systems based life? Do you have a team that helps you? I'd love to know. Keep up the great work and absolutely gorgeous videos!
Thanks Mike for your kind words. It sounds like you have a lot going on. I try to keep things as simple as possible. Recently, I put my one-on-one coaching on hold because I was feeling spread too thin. Last summer, I hired an incredible editor. He does an amazing job and I value his skills. I hope this answers your questions. happiness & peace

AWE! Thanks so much
So true having a laundry routine, cleaning routine, self care routine has actually given me results not a goal

This makes such good sense. I have a neurological condition similar to MS and I can sometimes struggle . I wish you well.
Sending you health, happiness & peace
@@ConnieRiet Thank you. xx
❤ what you said about the differences between goals and system. Systems are indeed the foundation that we can build to achieve our goals.
Thanks for sharing!!
Systems make much more sense! Thank you! I've never heard anyone mentions systems. I completely agree with you. Thx for your support you extend to us.
Check out Atomic Habits by James Clear. Discusses systems over goals in great detail
@@ceriedwards6315 Thank you for the suggestion.
Thank you ! Having ADHD this is amazing. If you have videos expounding on this, would be so grateful.
So wonderful to watch this video, Connie! I’m working on creating systems too so this was extremely helpful. Thank you 💕
SYSTEMS....I love this label for thinking about my plan to move towards my goals! I always glean something valuable from you Connie. Thank you!
I needed this idea, thanks!
Inspiring feel that I had experienced everything you said.. minimalists are similar🥰
Thanks!
WOW! Thank you so much Tina! This is very generous of you.
Sending you happiness & peace my friend.
How funny, I totally have said that this year. Setting up systems! Mostly so it can get to my goals. But it’s the habits that will get me there.
Another insightful, calming video. Thank you mi amor. 🙏🇺🇸✌️😎

goals and systems work hand in hand. You set goals and use systems to achieve the goals.
Thank you. Makes perfect sense;
clearly presented as well and so refreshingly honest.
Safety and Peace to you🫶
