I was shocked at the motivation for your painting. You are amazing! Your channel is so unique. You’re videos are so creative and organized. You are a beautiful person with fantastic ideas that are well executed! Respectfully…you go girl!
Thank you so much 😀
That painting was such a beautiful and I’m sure therapeutic project for you to do. I may need to do one as I’m going through a divorce after 28 years and it ain’t easy. Anyhow I had never heard of this method but I think I would like it. When you described your mentality when it comes to all or nothing….that is totally me too. Anyway I just found your channel and subscribed. 😍
This is exactly what keeps me from starting a TH-cam channel. I can’t take the mean comments.
I do like the theory of "backwards declutter". Instead of deciding what to get rid of, choose what you DEFINITELY will keep. The things you adore. Then build around that. Knowing you're ALLOWED to keep your loved things relieves the stress of "TOSS IT ALL"!
Love that!
...YES. ! As a Former Professional Organizer/ Assistant/ Housekeeper.... I did not ever tell my Clients " what they HAD to get rid of, this is a Personal Process , but it still had Guidlines. There were two boxes, ... DEFINITELY KEEPING and Give Away/ Donate. And a Trash bag. This simplifies it so whatever is going to the Donate / Give away can be processed after things are decided on. Same with the Definitely Keeping. People can become easily overwhelmed, as she stated ...so not putting " too much to do " at one time helps that process. I had not heard of this Book, so I'm interested, even though I'm mo longer in the Field of work...Life is an " always learning " proposition. 🙂😊✨️
Choosing what to keep is the Minimalist approach. It highlights the top 2, 5 or 10 things that matter most. Either by what you use often, or has positive emotional association. Not just aunt Susie gave me that, so I have to keep it. No, no you don't. Builds skills at boundaries, as well.
That's the core of Marie Kondo's method, too.
Get it all into one spot, out of the closets and cupboards, and choose what to put back.
LoL my problem is I shop carefully and as a result I love ALL my stuff!
Makes purging even harder.
My therapist and I are doing "just one thing". I'm recovering from illnesses and major surgery and other huge things, so doing just 1 thing a day, and then letting go, has helped. Some days I CAN do a few things, and some days just eating is the 1 thing. Progress is happening and I'm not dying from stress and fear!
Although I got stopped when I fell and sprained my thumb badly, arg! But I'm now able to do again, so yay!
That's wonderful. Thank you for sharing! 🩷
I love the just one thing mindset! I hope your thumb is feeling all better!
The painting. :( Why are people so cruel?????
You clearly are an amazing human being…
You opened your home to us as is.
You were transparent.
You were vulnerable.
You shared what worked for you in hopes of offering help to others.
You are a threat to the cruel ones - the ones who could never open their home or heart to others.
Thank you for the work you do. It matters. More than you will ever know.
❤❤❤
You matter too, Clare! 💜
Thank you so much. 🩷
as a 53 year old, I'm telling you now, taking care of your health is SO SO important. You're allowed the treats but eat the healthy first. Your 53 year old self will thank you for starting now!
Yes! And I feel so much better now when in focusing on my eating habits.
Go Vegan! 50% of the kids are now because they want to live another generation with clean air, etc.. Give up meat , dairy and eggs from cruel animal factory farming. This is 90% of our pollution to our environment . Don’t drink almond milk. Many documentaries on this. Once they die, people are soon after. Go vegan for the animals, our environment and your health is just the bonus for considering other sentient beings. Also- adopt don’t buy. They are euthanizing perfect animals in your local shelter. Animals have 1-3 days before euthanasia due to people buying bred dogs and cats.
Every meal, every moment, is a chance to start again!
Thank you for sharing. I was so sad when you showed your beautiful painting with the words underneath. None of those words describe you. ❤️
I agree
Same! I wanted to cry. I think she is amazing. She should make another canvas with all of the positive words that have been used to describe her, and leave it on the desk beside her artwork.
It's terrible that you have to read such nonsense from people like that. You are such a great designer and always fun to watch. Love all that you do ❣️
It made me cry too. You’re lovely and helpful. Don’t listen to mean people
@@conniesisco6468 Yes!!!!
I love the FlyLady technique of setting a timer for 15 minutes in one room and doing as much as possible. If you have two messy rooms, go to the next one and set the timer for 15 minutes. Return to the first room, 15 more minutes, then take a 15 minute break and feel good about how much you just accomplished. I will take FOREVER if there's no timer. I also use this for doing things I don't want to do (paperwork) and challenge myself to do as much as I can as quickly as possible.
Also, I love your channel, you make great videos and have great ideas! You're awesome and very inspiring!
Great idea. Thank you!
Yes I love that too. Its my focus tool! You know my cleaning lady is slower than me because I already have mental focus (thanks to timer ). I no longer need cleaning lady. For the long run it give me more benefit (effieciency, fitness ,and money saving) love that
Love fly lady. She's the only reason I have any organization. Shine ur sink!
My favorite thing about this video was your painting! I love that you made something positive and beautiful out of all that negativity! I love all your videos! The room turned out amazing too!
Thank you so much!
Yes! I love that idea too and I'm going to do the same!
Thank you for your ideas and diy’s and sharing things that have helped you. I am also an all or nothing person and try not to be every day. It’s not easy, I know. I’m 71 and still struggle but little ideas and encouragement like yours goes a long way to helping. Never mind the naysayers… listen to those you help 💗💗
Thank you! 🩷
Your home, work space, projects, ideas- YOU are inspiring and nothing but. Those words you painted over have NOTHING to do with you. Whenever I hear you talk about your process and your story I'm always encouraged and inspired. Thank-you Christina. 💖🇨🇦 You are a true example of determination and grace.
Wow, thank you!
@@thediymommy ❤️
Oh my gosh, this video was meant for me. I have been in the all-or-nothing mood for about 3 years now. I'm definitely going to try this method, I believe it will work for me. Thank you so much for sharing. You are spot-on!
You got this!
I'm a big picture, good big or go home, all or nothing person - and my craft room has been overwhelming to deal with. The idea of staying in one corner is manageable! Thanks so much for sharing this idea - and for sharing your cluttered space transformation.
Looks so great! It's interesting to me that almost ALL "clutter clean up methods" I hear about ultimately come back to FLYLady methods for me... "Little Chunks" or as she recommends, 15 minutes per day decluttering... Then, once the clutter is gone... 15 minutes each day cleaning a specific room (or area)... It's how I get through it, too... Bit by bit! Whatever works... Let's keep tidying up and making LESS things that future generations will have to deal with or throw away! Thanks for the inspiration!
The ski slope method is great! I love how it teaches us to break things down into smaller tasks. I often have to tell myself to quit looking at daunting projects as a whole, which is overwhelming, and to break the project down into smaller more manageable tasks. I feel so much better in the end. You look great 😊 Your personal health and fitness journey is very evident when watching your videos! Keep it up 😊
Thank you! 🩷
First of all, you are beautiful. I don’t understand why people say negative things online when they would (hopefully) never say it in person. I know this type of behavior is rampant and it’s very sad. You do amazing things on your channel and I find you inspirational and interesting. The ski slope method sounds right up my alley! I’m going to give it a shot.
Omg! I just saw the words that you painted over… some people lash out with cruelty when they are hurt inside. Not one of those words fit the Christine that we watch and LOVE. You should do another one in the reverse. Paint a pairing image and write the words over it… Beautiful, warm, charming, creative, brilliant, awesome accent (even decal, lol), beautiful smile, gorgeous hair, wonderful sense of STYLE, loving & courageous!!! We see THESE THINGS, that’s why we watch! You are so loved!
I can't believe that there are people out there who have nothing better to do with their life than to try and bring others down😢. I love the art. Thank you for you wonderful ideas and your beautiful smile. I am a travel nurse and spend very little time in my home I wish to retire in. Every time I go home I unload my RV and I beginning to see a mountain of things accumulate. It's exhausting just looking at it. You have inspired me
❤❤❤beautiful painting idea. That really resonates with me.❤️❤️ I’m a mommy too of four little kids and we are all very creative . I get overwhelmed too with lots of stuff around. Love this idea.
You are awesome and an encourager.hold onto the light and grace and let go of the yuck. Thanks for sharing your heart and love!
The floral painting is therapeutic in its own ways. My studio will benefit from zigging and zagging, awesome, just simply awesome! ❤❤❤❤
I love your painting over the hurtful and cruel words. It's hard to believe what people say or even think. You are an inspiration to me in many ways. I find your voice soothing and familiar and love your look and style! I remember at 40 a lot of struggle. Kids were little. I'm 67 now. Life is easier and I'm healthier.
I love the idea of focusing on small areas at a time - tackling an entire room can be so overwhelming. Thanks for this. Really appreciate your channel. And that painting - so inspired!
So glad!
I’ve been doing some spring cleaning and I unknowingly used this method today while cleaning my laundry room. Such a great feeling to get some deep cleaning done.
I love your painting! What a great idea to erase the negativity with lovely flowers. You are beautiful, creative, and so talented. You have so many followers who obviously think so, too! Those few negative comments can sometimes take more space than they deserve - erase the naysayers! You are amazing Christina!
So glad I ran across your channel. My husband and I are in the process of decluttering our whole house. This ski slope method is exactly what we need to be doing. So far we have decluttered two closets and two dressers. I am also trying to lose weight and get healthy. I have always had the “all or nothing” mindset, too. Will try and apply the ski slope method to that, too. Thank you and God bless! ❤️
This looks like a good way to pick a spot to start in if the whole room is a mess and you don't know where to begin. I've been following Dana K White's 5 step decluttering process and it's been a heck of a game changer. It's a great way to declutter without creating a whole new mess to clean up later, which is great if you are easily distracted or often get interrupted by life. It's also great if you're not doing so well emotionally because steps one and two involve the least amount of emotions and therefore the least amount of executive function (trash, things that do not belong in the space they are in).
I am a new subscriber and so thankful for this approach! I’m ski sloping my bedroom! Sis, WHOA! This is THE FIRST TIME! Do you hear me-FIRST TIME I’ve had ANY PROGRESS, because yup 100 related to the “RUN AWAY!” So far, 2 hrs of zigzagging-I have 3 boxes to donate to the local women & children shelter, one contractor size black garbage bag, and a rehome box-I can see the floor for the first time in…ages! I’m so EXCITED AND GRATEFUL for you sharing this method!!!! ❤😊❤
Christina - you are beautiful, inside and out, gracious, and brilliant!!!! Thank you for sharing the book - I will be ordering 👍 As for the painting piece - love, love, love that idea!!! Could you please include that in a "shorts" - I would love to share with my teacher friends, as I think it would be a fantastic lesson with students. I'm going to encourage my (HS senior) daughter, and her friends, to get together and make a painting so they can take with them to college in the fall 💝
As soon as you brought out the rose picture I instantly remembered that video. I thought it was such a clever way to purge those hateful comments. It really stuck with me. Turn the ugly into something beautiful.
Oh! Christina!!! This week’s video speaks to me … I’m the same … tendency of all or nothing … through the years without knowing it I adopted that method … at 60 I finally celebrate my small or bigger successes … I tackle projects in blocks … I turn around any negative comments coming from me or others by positive statements and most of all I list 5 things I’m grateful for each evening … thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge and for being so truthful with your life challenges… not only do you benefit from what you learn but your kids will thank you for the « mama » role model you are for them, for us all! Cheers! 😊
Thanks for watching!!
I love this. I too get overwhelmed and run away. I’ve been slowly going through things to clear out our home. We’ve lived in this house for 48 years and raised our three kids here. So there is a lot of stuff! By the way I love your painting! What a brilliant idea and so beautiful.
I've never heard of the ski slope method but I am definitely an "all or nothing" personality.
Makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing, Christina ❤
Great effort, well done. This is an interesting approach, and I am keen to try it. TFS
Thank you so much for this video. This is going to help me to declutter my home. Love your channel.
Since I don't ski and don't want to, I will have to call this the zig-zag method. And I actually recently figured it out on my own and it's working great for me. One little section at a time that I focus on till satisfaction. Then I can have a sense of accomplishment and then move on to another section of each room. And I'm getting my house together.
I will definitely try this method! Sounds motivating to me! Thank you for sharing!
Well done! You must be so unbelievably pleased -- and relieved!
Can I tell you how pleased I am that this particular video of yours popped up. Thanks TH-cam. Great way to organize.
And THANK YOU for sharing your BEAUTIFUL PAINTING.
You are talented, inspiring, uplifting and beautiful just the way you are! I so appreciate your wonderful channel! I loved watching your little cabins makeovers and your camper makeover! This video just inspired me to tackle my storage room that turned junk room. Thank you for spreading inspiration.
Wow, great! So well done! Thank you!!
Such a pretty space - you are gifted!
What a fun way to approach a project - I also do better when I work with 'just one area' ... and usually set a timer for 15-45 minutes, then take a break! If it's a big project, it can take more than a day - and that's OK too!
I love your roses as a visitation reminder of with - I teach Intentional painting, and we often do a 'word dump' as we begin - I love using Neocolor 2 watercolor crayons for that! And approaching healthy eating and actions with that same piece-at-a time attitude is great!
- When she was in her 50s, my mom's doc suggested that she 'budget' for holidays and outings, as we do for special purchases: eat a little less the day before and after, rather than seeing having more one meal/ day as breaking her healthy eating plan!
She was on crutches from childhood polio, and knowing if she was too heavy, she'd need a wheel chair motivated her! (She didn't need one 'till she was 85, and getting unsteady on her feet!)
Great idea. Thank you for sharing!
Definitely going to try it. Thank you!
I will have to try this method!!
I like it that you have the boxes and I see you taking things to where they belong too. Cleaning as you do each area is helpful.
I remember the video I watched when you painted over the words. It was such an inspiration. So happy to see that beautiful artwork again. You are a beautiful soul, creative and so talented.
Such a lovely room! I’m so glad your video showed up on my feed!
Ok…God placed this in my recommended videos. I’m definitely an all or nothing…and an ADD perfectionist…with everything! I just turned 50 so I’m with you on the mindset!
beautiful space ... love the pink sweater too
Thank you! I'm definitely going to try this!
Your studio space and the transformation journey you took all your viewers on as you organized it was amazing! I hope you feel refreshed! Well done…thx for sharing❤
I’m looking forward to trying this in my office soon!
Really nice! I’ll try it! Thanks so much
I am right there with you. Turning 40 this year and am on the same path of trying to get back on track with my health.
I am going to try this method. Love your painting!
I’ve been following you for years and you look great! Thanks for sharing the ski slope method!
Love this, and that painting is beautiful like you!
Great job, it looks so great
An amazing concept thank you for sharing. You are an inspiration. BTW great space.
You are beautiful and kind hearted. It shines through♡
I loved that painting over the called names idea, might have to do that myself 🙂 Thank you for the overall inspiration!
☮️💖🙏
Christina, I've been with you for a few years and you never disappoint and never cease to amaze me with all you do for us! I remember you doing the painting with the flowers over the mean comments and crying as you did it. Just want you to know what an inspiration you are and there are so so many of us that truly appreciate and love you❣️❣️❣️
Perfect timing! I've been AVOIDING my sewing space after the Holiday rush. Time to go "skiing"😉
This is awesome! I just came across your videos and this is so helpful. And I love the painting. I think I’m going to make one as well. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Just remember that you are a lovely talented person!!! I look forward to your videos every week.
Oh thank you!
Love this - thank you for posting this helpful tip! Yes taking care and being kind to ourselves is so important - Hugs to you
This was a great video! Inspiring and timely for me. I was planning on cleaning and organizing several rooms this weekend! Yay!
I’m the same way. I’m going to try this new method asap
Thank you!! This was a blessing for me!!!🙏🏽🙌🏽I appreciate you!😇
Thank you for sharing! I really enjoyed the ski slope cleaning method. I am going to try it.
I love this idea. It’s less overwhelming. I’m going to do this in my sewing room. Thank you for sharing this, it was great. And your space looks fantastic. 😊❤️🇨🇦
You are glowing and looking beautiful…..congratulations on your new journey.
This seems so much more achievable. I am definitely going to try this Ski Slope method. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I needed to see this video. Thank you so much. I look forward every Saturday morning to see you. Beautiful positive and the one of the best DIYer!! Peace ☮️ and love ❤. 🤗
Great video! That seems so much easier to me! I definitely will have to try this! Ty for this video
As always, you did awesome!!!! Beautiful work and thank you for sharing your videos ❤
Such a great idea!
Some words of mine to remember : you are beautiful, interesting, clever, good at your work : I love what you do ! Keep doing it, pleaaaase !!!! 😘
Amazing video, definitely checking out the book ☺️ thanks a lot for your work 😌
That color looks great on you!
Thanks for explaining and illustrating this method and outlook. My library has this book and I will give it a go!
I am also a person who tends to be all or nothing and gets overwhelmed. I remind myself not to let perfect be the enemy of good, and that something done is better than perfect not done, but sometimes I need more than words. A practical technique like this sounds like a good way to put those words into action!
Thank you so much I can so relate, this really helps. God bless you and your family.❤
christina, ur art piece broke my heart AND inspired me. i can't believe ppl would say such hurtful things abt u or to u. i'm glad u'r stronger and r able to take it for what it's worth. u have inspired me to attempt an "art piece" of my own.
Thanks for sharing this!
What? Thank you for sharing! I had no idea you posted! I’m so elated that you like my ski slope method!
I appreciate that you shared your art. Just this morning I visualized my shame part of me transforming to a Rose. Also I too am all or nothing with my food habits. Thank you for the piece on not giving up at the first bite but keeping on going forward. You look great!!! Thank you for being you and sharing!!! You are beautiful inside and out.
I love this idea and how well you presented it. And your beautiful artwork over the negative words is an awesome idea. I can't Imagine how anyone can see you as less than phenomenal. You are creative, authentic, down to earth, beautiful and amazing.
This video was so inspiring!! Thank you for sharing this method and being so transparent with your viewers! May God bless you and your family!!
Thank you so much. I definitely love the idea of what you've done. When I get overwhelmed I run away instead of looking at it because I want it all done and over with but I also know it will take a lot of time so I procrastinate. I think I will give this method a try.
I love your videos! As talented and creative as you are, you are not afraid to show your "human-ness" and I can identify with that. As someone with ADHD I really struggle with decluttering and motivation. So, yes, I'm getting that book and trying the ski-slope method for sure! Thank you!! ❤️
Just what I needed this morning!
I love your style and the way your videos make me feel. You are an inspiration to me. ❤️😘
I am so glad I clicked and watched your video tonight! I can do this and will starting Monday! And I love your picture of the words......having a very hard time in life right now,,,,,,that will help..
Thanks. It looks fantastic ...
Thank you for this❤️. I am “All or Nothing” too, I needed to hear this today and I thank you for inspiring me to think about my challenges in chunks. You are amazing 🙏
Great tips! The studio looks beautiful. I'm a little jealous 🫣 lol. What an amazing work space. Next time the kitchen needs cleaning, I'll have to remember this method
This is such and awesome idea. Besides I always wanted to learn to ski but, too afraid lolll So, now can get the best of both worlds.❤ Thank you.
You are a wonderful person. People who rely on belittling and hurting others speaks towards their own lack of self-esteem and deranged mind. God bless you on all you do and your inspiration to those who admire yo... which is a lot of us! Thank you 😊
