I gave myself a day to reset my life (using science)

I've never been bored at home. And that was before we had smart phones. School and work, yes.

I am very much a "shower to motivation" kind of person, being clean just gives me that boost to get things done.

I am very rarely bored. Reading books that are piling up on my coffee table, listening to different genres of music with intention (i.e. with an ear to harmonies, tempi, etc.), going for a walk or to the gym, doing a cryptic crossword, planning different outfits, etc. If I feel bored, I probably need a nap! 🙂 ❤️🇨🇦🍁

I always think of the Deion Sanders quote "look good feel good, feel good play good, play good get paid good, paid good eat good, eat good live good."

"Eat the frog". It's exactly like this. It´s not about motivation, it´s about doing what we know is good for us. Waiting to be ready or motivated will never lead us to anywhere

Most people think confidence comes first when it’s usually built after you repeatedly do difficult things you originally wanted to avoid. That’s why discipline matters more than motivation long term. This video actually explained that in a very real way. It honestly reminded me of They Taught You to Be Nice, Not Strong by Orrin Conway because it focuses on mental strength, self respect, and consistency instead of hype.

So good - thank you! Cleaning the kitchen at night is one that I love - putting the kitchen to bed. Waking up to clean helps so much.

I feel the Smart Phone has been detrimental to our society as a whole even though it has some beneficial features. You offer helpful and motivational advice. Thanks for keeping it real.

Thanks Christina; needed this! Started May well but have massively tapered off

girl your biceps are so impressive

The sleep hygiene segment resonated. Guilty, guilty, guilty

Hi Christina, are you pivoting away from clothing/fashion content towards personal finance?

I am definitely trying to get out of that habit of scrolling before bed however, I’m not putting my deodorant on at night. That sounds kind of icky.

Clothing-wise, I absolutely feel worse when I’m uncomfortable. Wearing an “outfit” including jeans while at home is literally the worst thing I can imagine. Not everyone needs to “wear an outfit” to feel good or productive.

First! 🙌🏼

We'll often meal prep "loaded baked sweet potatoes" for supper. Bake the sweet potatoes as you did, top with any combo of: rinsed black beans, corn, salsa, guacamole, cheese, sour cream, etc. Quick, easy and delicious!

I appreciate the actual research you do and share!!❤

I’m a morning person, so I like to get up early to start the day. I woke up this morning and meal prepped a tuna pasta salad, cooked some chickpeas I soaked overnight and did some light laundry. When I do small tasks at a time it makes me feel productive. As for the doom scrolling… omfg I have been struggling with that lately. I borrowed a audiobook from my library and borrowed a book from Amazon and I’m going to do some immersive reading to get lost in a good story to stay off from scrolling too much! 😊

I needed this. I am getting up right now to change out of my pajamas.

Of course your tip are always appreciated, but I am really so excited for your move! You've worked so hard for it, well deserved!!! Can't wait for the tour of the new place :)
