I’ve started sweeping our floors and washing all the dishes before bed. In the morning when I walk out of my bedroom I see fresh floors and when I get my coffee I see a fresh sink.
I'm walking 40 mins to an hour every morning and I started doing LesMills On Demand from home a few days a week a month ago. I'm reading Atomic Habits and making changes. I can feel that I'm getting stronger and it feels good. I'm determined to be in great shape when I turn forty in the fairly near future. Ugh! I've struggled with my weight, depression and everything else for so long. I lost 60 lbs since 2020 but just gained 15 back due to stress since the holidys and eating the wrong foods sometimes.
It might sound silly but preparing meals ahead of time (like your overnight jar oats there) not only makes sense practically, but has an added bonus of making me feel loved and taken care of. The fact that someone (ie me!) cared enough about my health& wellbeing to prepare something in advance makes me feel so energised!
My experience is a little extreme but I found that I needed to completely remove smartphones and socials out of my equation. I’ve never been happier! It’s not for everyone, but I feel like I finally broke out of my bad habits once I decided to completely separate myself from it.
The same for me. Until yesterday, I was 1 year 3 months without social media. Best decision ever. Still reluctant to come back as I don't really feel the need.
Agree. I’ve deleted FB/IG, it’s been a little over 6 weeks & I can’t see myself going back at this point. I do have a smart phone, but minimal basic apps, no games or frills.
I have also deleted in/fb and haven't missed it at all. I still have a smartphone and what been asking about taking peoples numbers again instead of add them on a plattform.
Not scrolling through social media in the morning really helps me. I realized that having a good energy and mood in the morning affects my entire day and being on social media has done so much negative impact in my mental health.
I just want to say congratulations to almost hitting 100k Christina!! I’ve been watching your videos for months now and I’m so happy you’re having all this success. To 100k more! 🥳💜
😊❤ Thanks, Christina! Habits: more sleep, daily yoga, newer time on a rebounder, praying, singing, laughing & lots of hugs & kisses from my husband! 😁❤️
I have been trying to figure out how to use social media in a way that doesn’t suck my time and give me major anxiety and depression! I love the idea of a timer and only creating / setting boundaries when in use! I will be more intentional about my time and these are perfect ways / perspectives to do this! Thank you 😊
I work 2 part time job, one in farming and one in childcare. Both are extremely physically intensive. Ninety nine percent of the time, I take a 1 hr nap every afternoon. It is absolutely a necessity and I am energized when it is over. I appreciate your thoughtful intention as a creator!
Older follower here(59), you hit it out of the ball park on this one. Habits, positivity and just a bit of planning make a huge difference in your quality of life. Kudos to you.
Starting and ending my day with scripture has helped my anxiety tremendously. Getting off of FB and Insta would be number 2 on impact. Having a consistent bedtime and morning routine has helped so much too.
I like your observation on create vs consume. I feel like even commenting on videos is a small but healthy step out of the content consuming vortex. My struggle personally has to do with parenting 2 kids in a kind of perpetual state of survival mode- I struggle to find the energy to do the things like exercise and nutrition that are supposed to give you energy. It often feels like it takes more energy than I have to “make” energy! (But then there are the other benefits of like, oh- being a generally healthy person )
I have never been on IG or Tictok, and also left Twitter and FB in 2020. Best thing I’ve done for my stress level. I enjoy YT, but limit my time every day.
Fantastic video - really great habits for me to think about. I particularly like the connection to "energy giving" versus "energy depleting". One not-negotiable habit I have is that I pre-book Pilates classes 3 times a week and I NEVER miss one unless something absolutely dire happens. One area that I'm struggling with is falling into the deep black hole of social media - often right before bed. So I'm going to focus on changing this one energy-depleting activity by turning off social media by 8pm and focusing on activities that will support better sleep. Wish me luck :-)
Thank you Christina. I’m currently on a 2 week rural break and you have provided food for thought before I head back to the ‘hustle’. Compromising nutrition and exercise, hydration, limiting screen time and not taking weekends off are areas that I need to focus on too. I need to write down my 10 habits by Friday! Thanks for the inspiration.
I started doing three things a day a few months ago and it was a game changer. It seems counterintuitive, but it made me more productive instead of less.
Love this type of video from you!!! And yes, congratulations on being so close to the 100K goal!! I've been a subscriber for years and can say 100% that your new subscribers will be very happy and enjoy your channel! 😊🎉🤍
My adult children make phone calls when walking. I like to take in my environment, especially on country walks, listen and observe. It's energising, mindful and feels great.
Omg yay ! You achieved your 100K ! Congrats, Christina ! Last time I saw you, you were at around 97K ! Been watching you for a while ! A couple years, I think ? All the best from Buffalo !
That was a wealth of helpful information and simple changes to focus on turning the corner on positive steps on moving forward with my day. Thank You for all the time and thought put into this video!
I was prepping my lunch for tomorrow while watching your video. I bring breakfast, lunch, and snacks every day. I kinda hate the time it takes out of my evening, but I need grab and go in the mornings. My prep ensures that I eat fairly well at work, and it definitely saves money. I also prepare all my food for the week on the weekends. Food is what I consistently prioritize. My Insta is primarily trip pictures. I appreciate my small gang of followers. Insta was a way to connect with the outside world during 2020, but I wonder now if I am too attached and if it keeps me from seeking more IRL company. Hugs, Christina. Ukraine is still fighting the foreign invaders, even if it is no longer front page. 💙💛
Wohooo, the 100k are just around the corner. 🎉🎉 Thanks for these very useful tips, Christina. I always find something in your videos that I can implement in my own life/routine.
I am so happy you’re working with copilot! I found them a little over a year ago and it has changed my whole outlook on my health and relationship to exercise. And this video topic just hit home for me. Thank you Christina!
Thank you so much for such a great video....saving this for future rewatch. 😁 I noticed that like me, you create goals each morning but you said you keep it to 2 priorities. I've been trying to incorporate that and I realized it helps me focus! I will be continuing this practice.
I actually don't watch or subscribe to the news anymore. I do hear about things slower than other people, but it's also changed my mindset for the better.
twitter and facebook were the worst for my mental health! so I got rid of them too. Once I figured out I could download all my FB photo albums I was like byeeee
What are some habits and boundaries that give you energy?

Going to Pilates 2-3 times per week and spending plenty of time with my pup.
Walking really give me the calm vibe after done it BUT to start it really need a tremendous amount of inner motivation. 😂

Love the fun-money part, it takes of the pressure and brings joy and impulsivity

OOOOh!!!! So close!!!! :)
😊❤ Thanks, Christina!

Staying off social media is hugely helpful. I find I’m much more productive and get to my to do list when I stay off it.
I don’t do any social media, just watch a handful of u tubes, yours is one of my favorite 🥰

My best way to recharge when i feel really tired (ex after or at break at work at a kindergarden) is to lay down and listen to an audiobook 🙏

Twitter is sooo energy consuming ! Best choice you made! Never had Tik Tok neither
First 2:40 is sponsor ad reads. That’s a loooooong time. Skip to 2:45 for actual content.
Thank you 😅

CAN YOU PLEASE START A PODCAST 🤩🤩🤩🤩
I am so happy you’re working with copilot! I found them a little over a year ago and it has changed my whole outlook on my health and relationship to exercise. And this video topic just hit home for me. Thank you Christina!
Its been soooo helpful haha I needed an accountability buddy
You give me a lot of tips and ideas on how to live a mindful and happy life. Thank you Christina Mychas.
This was so calming and helpful. Thank you ❤️
Congrats on 100.000 followers🎂♥️🎈You deserved that and more!!!😘
Congratulations on 100.000 follower! Greetings from cologne
Great tips! There are so many videos on this topic. Most of them are a waste of time. Few are as well thought out and helpful as this. Thanks!
Not weird for not listening to music during workout - normal in my mind, this is the time I have a chance to listen to books, podcasts etc
Deleting social media is a huge one to get your time back
there are the 100k, congrats!
Thank you so much for such a great video....saving this for future rewatch. 😁 I noticed that like me, you create goals each morning but you said you keep it to 2 priorities. I've been trying to incorporate that and I realized it helps me focus! I will be continuing this practice.
Thank you for your content Christina. It really helps me. Just wanted to say hi 👋😊
Amazing video as always!
Last night I spent 45 min on TikTok ughh lol I need to set a time limit for sure. I love the fun money budget idea! Gotta try that
Will try the 3 items to do list starting this week. My to do list is waaaay too long. Not doing so productive though😥
Congratulaciones, love your channel, very useful info
Wooot 100k girl
CoPilot seems interesting. Do you know if they deal with fitness for people who have metabolic issues, like PCOS?
I think so! It can be very tailored to your needs. I’ll ask them to be sure!
I actually don't watch or subscribe to the news anymore. I do hear about things slower than other people, but it's also changed my mindset for the better.
omg your #1 is same as mine 😭😭 I love you 💕
Haha bye bye twitter!
I would like to see in more detail how you plan #4 . Which app and programm do you use for the to do lists?
Thanks for your videos❤️
Yes me too! I thought I saw "notion."
Almost 100,000 🍾🍾🍾💎💎💎👸🏻👸🏻👸🏻🌸🌸🌸
New sub 😁💯🙌
Would you mind sharing what platform you use for your calendar and to do list? It looks very helpful! Loved the video
I use notion for the to do list, google cal for my calendar!
Your Mejuri link isn't working :( do you have a code??
twitter and facebook were the worst for my mental health! so I got rid of them too. Once I figured out I could download all my FB photo albums I was like byeeee
I think I was on Twitter for about 5 minutes. It wasn't for me - seems like a platform for people who think their opinion actually matters.
Ooo my goodness Tweeter is promoting free speech !!!!!!!😎🌄🤗
Christina, you remind me of Mona Lisa.
