Speaker 1: Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the
0:16
Speaker 1: Hawtral Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Kayleie, and this is
0:19
Speaker 1: your weekly reminder that it's a new day, a new week,
0:22
Speaker 1: a new mindset, and another day. If you'd become the
0:24
Speaker 1: Hawtrail Energy you want to a track. Hello you guys,
0:27
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode. Today is most likely Thursday
0:31
Speaker 1: because with vologmiss going on, I'm posting every second day
0:36
Speaker 1: on Instagram and TikTok, along with obviously getting work things
0:40
Speaker 1: done on top of doing stuff for the podcast. So
0:43
Speaker 1: I apologize if this is up a day late, but
0:45
Speaker 1: right now we're going in with the mindset of just
0:48
Speaker 1: getting an episode up a week. So if it's a
0:50
Speaker 1: daily or a few hours late, you know why. It's
0:52
Speaker 1: because I'm literally running around like a wild woman, just
0:56
Speaker 1: trying to get things submitted and things just up running
1:00
Speaker 1: for my job. But I always feel good showing up
1:04
Speaker 1: on the mic and talking with you guys, because obviously
1:06
Speaker 1: it's something that I look forward to every single week.
1:08
Speaker 1: We have a very exciting episode today because first off,
1:12
Speaker 1: it's a new month. Happy December. Cannot believe we are
1:15
Speaker 1: in the last month of twenty twenty five. We have
1:17
Speaker 1: a lot of exciting episodes coming up this month. I
1:19
Speaker 1: definitely love to talk a lot about our plans for
1:22
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six and how we're going to end our
1:25
Speaker 1: year off with reviewing our goals, reviewing the things that
1:29
Speaker 1: we accomplish for ourselves to end off such an amazing year,
1:33
Speaker 1: whether it's small goals or big goals. I think every
1:35
Speaker 1: single year we walk away with something to be so
1:38
Speaker 1: proud of and something that we did for ourselves or
1:40
Speaker 1: something that we achieved. So definitely going to be a
1:43
Speaker 1: lot of talking about reflecting from twenty twenty five things
1:46
Speaker 1: we're going to be doing in twenty twenty six all that. So,
1:50
Speaker 1: as you can see in today's episode, we are going
1:52
Speaker 1: to be talking about glow up habits and rituals I'm
1:55
Speaker 1: taking into twenty twenty six. And I actually have twenty
1:58
Speaker 1: six things here that I list it off, all these
2:02
Speaker 1: things that I either do daily or things that I
2:04
Speaker 1: discovered this year that I'm obsessed with that I want
2:07
Speaker 1: to keep doing throughout twenty twenty six because I truly
2:10
Speaker 1: feel like these things that I do on a daily
2:13
Speaker 1: basis have made me feel so good on the inside
2:17
Speaker 1: and out When I do these things. I feel good
2:19
Speaker 1: going into my day. I feel productive, my energy levels
2:22
Speaker 1: are good. All that like just things that I really
2:25
Speaker 1: try to strive to do every single day that when
2:27
Speaker 1: I know I'm doing these things, I feel good mentally,
2:30
Speaker 1: I look good physically, I just feel like my absolute
2:34
Speaker 1: best self. And so there's going to be a lot
2:35
Speaker 1: of these things that I've talked about obviously in previous episodes.
2:38
Speaker 1: But the point is that this is like my ideal
2:40
Speaker 1: list of the twenty six things that I'm taking into
2:44
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six that you guys can reference if you
2:47
Speaker 1: ever are in a funk or you need some motivation
2:50
Speaker 1: when it comes to becoming that version of yourself that
2:53
Speaker 1: you want to become. You have this episode to look
2:56
Speaker 1: back at, listen kind of just remind yourself these things
2:59
Speaker 1: to do to make yourself feel good, to make yourself
3:03
Speaker 1: feel like you're that person that you've always wanted to become,
3:06
Speaker 1: all that this version that you just really want to be.
3:09
Speaker 1: So this is why we're gonna do this episode. It's
3:11
Speaker 1: going to be the perfect episode to listen to to
3:14
Speaker 1: look back on whenever you're feeling like you need the
3:16
Speaker 1: motivation or boost of confidence to know that these little
3:20
Speaker 1: things truly do make a huge impact in your day
3:22
Speaker 1: to day life. So before we even get into talking
3:25
Speaker 1: about the rituals and habits of going into twenty twenty six,
3:28
Speaker 1: I want to give a little update on my end.
3:30
Speaker 1: Lots of stuff going on with logmis obviously, so that's
3:33
Speaker 1: been my main priority. If you guys didn't know, I
3:36
Speaker 1: am doing vlogmis on TikTok and Instagram where I film
3:39
Speaker 1: basically full day in the life from six am to
3:41
Speaker 1: ten pm. I do every second day because if I
3:44
Speaker 1: did every single day like that, it would definitely be
3:46
Speaker 1: very difficult for me to manage other things. There are
3:49
Speaker 1: some people that do it for all twenty five days,
3:51
Speaker 1: but a lot of those people only manage one social
3:54
Speaker 1: media account, whether it's just TikTok or Instagram, just YouTube,
3:57
Speaker 1: or just have a podcast. Because I like to do
4:01
Speaker 1: it all and I like to be active on all platforms,
4:04
Speaker 1: I really take a step back and I realize, Okay,
4:07
Speaker 1: what can I actually do that's still involved with vlogmiss.
4:12
Speaker 1: But I'm not overdoing it and I'm not burning myself
4:15
Speaker 1: out while trying to manage other things like the podcast YouTube.
4:18
Speaker 1: You know, obviously, we have the house going on, which
4:21
Speaker 1: has been a huge thing. That's been a huge time
4:23
Speaker 1: consumer for us with designing this house. So I'm doing
4:26
Speaker 1: twelve days of log miss where I post a full
4:28
Speaker 1: vlog every second day and if you guys listen to
4:31
Speaker 1: the last episode I mentioned it, but I do a
4:33
Speaker 1: giveaway for every vlog miss where you have the chance
4:36
Speaker 1: to win a gift card. So if you don't follow
4:39
Speaker 1: me on social media and you want to enter the giveaway,
4:42
Speaker 1: please make sure to follow me. I have my handles
4:45
Speaker 1: in the description down below. So obviously that's been going on.
4:48
Speaker 1: As I said the house update, we have foundation, which
4:51
Speaker 1: is super exciting. I just posted a YouTube blog if
4:54
Speaker 1: you want to go watch that there. I have a
4:56
Speaker 1: live reaction of me actually seeing that we have foundation.
4:58
Speaker 1: And I was not expect that at all. I went
5:01
Speaker 1: with the intention of going to see the lot like
5:04
Speaker 1: literally nothing was going to be done, like no progress whatsoever,
5:07
Speaker 1: just because we're still so early on in the journey
5:11
Speaker 1: that I just didn't think that we would have anything up.
5:14
Speaker 1: I didn't think anything would be up honestly till January.
5:16
Speaker 1: So that was a really nice surprise and I just
5:19
Speaker 1: was so excited to see some progress and we have
5:22
Speaker 1: a lot of deadlines coming up for this month for
5:25
Speaker 1: the house along with January, so I do think these
5:28
Speaker 1: next nine months are going to go by really fast.
5:31
Speaker 1: But I'm very excited to share everything with you guys,
5:34
Speaker 1: and I've been sharing little sneak peaks of what our
5:36
Speaker 1: designers have done for certain rooms in the house. So yeah, again,
5:40
Speaker 1: if you want to see some sneak peaks of the house,
5:42
Speaker 1: it's all on my social media. I wanted to talk
5:45
Speaker 1: about some December goals because I used to do monthly
5:49
Speaker 1: goals where I would share with you guys things that
5:51
Speaker 1: I'm making a priority this month or each month that
5:54
Speaker 1: I go into and I feel like I haven't done
5:56
Speaker 1: that in such a long time. And my December goals
5:59
Speaker 1: are very different than goals that I've had in the past.
6:02
Speaker 1: A lot of the goals that I typically do are
6:04
Speaker 1: health related, but I kind of wanted to change it
6:05
Speaker 1: up for this month specifically because I feel like December
6:09
Speaker 1: is such a special month when it comes to the holidays. Obviously,
6:14
Speaker 1: we try our best to spend as much time with
6:16
Speaker 1: family and friends, and you know, maybe if you you know,
6:20
Speaker 1: don't spend time with family, spending time with just people
6:22
Speaker 1: who you truly care about, or just friends that you
6:26
Speaker 1: might be super close with. I think it's so important
6:28
Speaker 1: to be surrounded by people that you care for. And
6:32
Speaker 1: this December, one of my main goals is to spend
6:35
Speaker 1: as much time with friends, family, honestly just enjoying more
6:39
Speaker 1: quality time with my husband. Zach and I were actually
6:42
Speaker 1: talking about this last week, and we were just talking
6:45
Speaker 1: about how we are both so work driven. And I
6:48
Speaker 1: love that about Zach and I love that about myself,
6:50
Speaker 1: is that we both are very work oriented. But sometimes
6:53
Speaker 1: I think we kind of forget that we do also
6:55
Speaker 1: have a relationship that we need to obviously make a priority.
6:59
Speaker 1: And you know, so I feel like every relationship kind
7:01
Speaker 1: of goes through funks where you kind of forget that, oh,
7:05
Speaker 1: we should probably keep dating, or oh, we should probably
7:07
Speaker 1: still do fun things together. Right. So Zach and I
7:09
Speaker 1: had a bit of a conversation last week and we're like,
7:11
Speaker 1: you know what, we need to go back on dates,
7:12
Speaker 1: Like when was the last time we went on a date.
7:14
Speaker 1: So we ended up going out for dinner last weekend
7:16
Speaker 1: for the first time since like August. That sounds so bad,
7:19
Speaker 1: but obviously he's been super busy with work, and we've
7:22
Speaker 1: obviously been saving money for the house, so we've been
7:24
Speaker 1: kind of avoiding, you know, going out for dinner and
7:26
Speaker 1: all that. But we're like, you know what, we need
7:27
Speaker 1: to get back into it, even if it's like dates
7:30
Speaker 1: that don't involve like a heavy price tag, right, Like
7:32
Speaker 1: it could be the smallest thing like going to the
7:34
Speaker 1: movie theaters, going bowling, going mini putting, Like just think
7:38
Speaker 1: of like the little things that could be fun to
7:40
Speaker 1: do to get out of the house and all that.
7:41
Speaker 1: I feel like when you live with someone, obviously, like yeah,
7:44
Speaker 1: it's great you get to live with your partner or
7:46
Speaker 1: your husband, like it's obviously the best, but things almost
7:50
Speaker 1: feel very like repetitive because like you do the same
7:52
Speaker 1: thing every night. You cook dinner together, you clean up,
7:54
Speaker 1: you go to bed, and that's that. Like there's nothing
7:56
Speaker 1: that's really spending quality time together, if that makes sense.
7:59
Speaker 1: So we both wanted to make it a priority this
8:01
Speaker 1: month to get back into dating, you know, spending time
8:05
Speaker 1: with family, friends, doing fun things at home like building
8:08
Speaker 1: a gingerbread house, watching Christmas movies together, all that. So
8:12
Speaker 1: something that we're really making a priority this month is
8:15
Speaker 1: spending more time with friends, family and quality time with
8:18
Speaker 1: my husband. Another one is starting to plan out my
8:21
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six vision board, my goals. What do I
8:24
Speaker 1: kind of envision for my new year. So that's definitely
8:28
Speaker 1: something that I want to start planning. Once Christmas is
8:31
Speaker 1: over with December twenty sixth or twenty seventh, I'm going
8:34
Speaker 1: to be on Pinterest, I'm going to be scrolling. I'm
8:36
Speaker 1: going to start planning out things that I want to
8:39
Speaker 1: achieve for myself for the new year. So that's something
8:41
Speaker 1: I always try and make a priority in December. And
8:43
Speaker 1: then my last December goal is really just focusing on
8:46
Speaker 1: not burning out and overdoing it this month. This month
8:49
Speaker 1: is always very busy for me, and I feel like
8:52
Speaker 1: I always overdo it and then I kind of have
8:54
Speaker 1: a bit of a crashout. So I really want to
8:56
Speaker 1: make sure that I prioritize the little things that obviously
9:01
Speaker 1: manage my stress levels, help with my anxiety, all that
9:04
Speaker 1: taking time to do stretching, taking time to do a
9:07
Speaker 1: little bit of meditation, like just finding ways to really
9:10
Speaker 1: calm myself down, going for walks, like remembering to focus
9:14
Speaker 1: on myself and not too much on the work overload
9:17
Speaker 1: or whatever. So really just trying to focus on my
9:20
Speaker 1: mental health this month, and yeah, that's kind of like
9:22
Speaker 1: my December goals. If you haven't done goals for yourself
9:25
Speaker 1: for the month, this is your reminder to do so,
9:28
Speaker 1: even if it's just writing it out in your journal,
9:30
Speaker 1: It's so important to do monthly goals, and I just
9:33
Speaker 1: wanted to bring that back into today's episode as a
9:35
Speaker 1: little reminder to set goals for yourself every single month. Okay,
9:39
Speaker 1: so now let's get into the most exciting part of
9:42
Speaker 1: this episode, which is talking about habits and rituals and
9:45
Speaker 1: taking into twenty twenty six. So I've found twenty six
9:49
Speaker 1: things that I've done consistently or things that I've discovered
9:54
Speaker 1: this year that I truly feel like makes me feel
9:57
Speaker 1: like the hottest version of myself. I feel good while
10:00
Speaker 1: I'm doing it. It feels like it's the version that
10:02
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to become. And I feel like doing
10:05
Speaker 1: these things, either daily or weekly or monthly, has truly
10:09
Speaker 1: made me feel like the best version of myself. The
10:11
Speaker 1: first one being putting on makeup and dressing cute for
10:14
Speaker 1: myself every single day. This is something that I've talked
10:17
Speaker 1: about many, many times, especially in episodes when it comes
10:19
Speaker 1: to like the winter uglies, or just wanting to have
10:22
Speaker 1: a mini glow up or just feel good about yourself.
10:25
Speaker 1: It is amazing how good you feel every single day
10:28
Speaker 1: when you actually put a little bit of effort in yourself.
10:31
Speaker 1: I feel like the days where I feel really low
10:34
Speaker 1: and just like not myself. It's usually the days where
10:37
Speaker 1: I'm still in my pajamas all day, I haven't done
10:40
Speaker 1: my skincare, I haven't done my makeup. I literally feel
10:42
Speaker 1: like I look like a beg of shit, like not
10:44
Speaker 1: gonna lie. Those are days where I don't feel motivated.
10:47
Speaker 1: I don't want to do anything in the house. I
10:49
Speaker 1: just want to curl up on the couch and do nothing.
10:51
Speaker 1: But when I actually force myself to go take a shower,
10:54
Speaker 1: do a little bit of skincare, put literally the smallest
10:57
Speaker 1: amount of makeup on. I'm talking like a little bit
10:58
Speaker 1: of concealer, a little bit of a a little bit
11:01
Speaker 1: of blush, put some lipliner on, add a little bit
11:03
Speaker 1: of a lip gloss, and you're good. I don't wear muscara,
11:06
Speaker 1: I don't wear foundation. I literally do the most minimal makeup.
11:10
Speaker 1: But I feel so confident in myself when I do
11:13
Speaker 1: put the effort of putting on that little bit of
11:15
Speaker 1: makeup and then obviously putting on a cute set, whether
11:18
Speaker 1: it's a matching workout set or a matching sweat set,
11:21
Speaker 1: or again putting on a pair of genes with a
11:24
Speaker 1: white basic tea. Like literally as simple as that. But
11:27
Speaker 1: I feel good going into my day and I feel
11:29
Speaker 1: more productive when I actually put the effort in myself
11:32
Speaker 1: because I feel good, I feel like I look good,
11:35
Speaker 1: I feel more confident. So it's a small little thing,
11:38
Speaker 1: but that's one thing that I feel like has made
11:39
Speaker 1: a huge difference in my year is actually putting in
11:42
Speaker 1: the effort every single day of doing those little things
11:45
Speaker 1: to make me feel good about myself. Another thing that
11:48
Speaker 1: has changed my life, and this is something I've taken
11:51
Speaker 1: into many years, which is waking up early and actually
11:54
Speaker 1: focusing on myself before I start my work day. If
11:57
Speaker 1: you are not a morning person, maybe this is your
11:59
Speaker 1: sign to be come one. I truly feel like the
12:02
Speaker 1: mornings are the most crucial part of your day. Spending
12:06
Speaker 1: an hour, two hours, thirty minutes. It doesn't really matter
12:10
Speaker 1: finding any time in your morning to do whether it's
12:13
Speaker 1: one thing or two things. For yourself where you feel
12:16
Speaker 1: like you've started your day in a great way. I
12:19
Speaker 1: personally feel like the way you start your day is
12:22
Speaker 1: the way that your day's going to go. It could
12:24
Speaker 1: be making your bed, it could be dedicating ten minutes
12:27
Speaker 1: every single morning to meditation. It could be reading a
12:31
Speaker 1: few pages in your book before you start your day.
12:33
Speaker 1: Whatever makes you feel good that you did before you
12:37
Speaker 1: started your day. You consistently do that for a week,
12:40
Speaker 1: you're gonna feel so much better about yourself. You're gonna
12:43
Speaker 1: feel so good going into each day. So I talk
12:46
Speaker 1: about it so many times about how I think mornings
12:48
Speaker 1: are so crucial to have a morning routine, to actually
12:51
Speaker 1: focus on doing the little things that make you feel
12:53
Speaker 1: really good before you start your day. Maybe you're the
12:56
Speaker 1: kind of person that doesn't like to work out in
12:57
Speaker 1: the morning, that's so fine, But there's other things that
13:00
Speaker 1: you can do in the morning to set yourself up
13:02
Speaker 1: for success. Whether it's journaling, planning, like, there's so many
13:05
Speaker 1: little things that you could do in your morning that
13:08
Speaker 1: doesn't involve working out. It could be going on a walk,
13:11
Speaker 1: a ten minute walk, like literally, it could be the
13:12
Speaker 1: smallest things, but all those things that you're doing before
13:16
Speaker 1: you start your work day. As I said, it could
13:18
Speaker 1: be one to two things. It doesn't really matter. You're
13:20
Speaker 1: still doing that for yourself, and you're doing that before
13:23
Speaker 1: you start your work day. So this is your sign
13:25
Speaker 1: to maybe wake up thirty minutes earlier than you typically would,
13:27
Speaker 1: focusing on things that make you feel good about yourself
13:30
Speaker 1: before starting your workday. This one kind of goes hand
13:32
Speaker 1: in hand with the one I just talked about, which
13:34
Speaker 1: is obviously waking up early and doing little things that
13:37
Speaker 1: make you feel good before you start your work day.
13:39
Speaker 1: But I feel like making my bed every single morning
13:43
Speaker 1: has changed my life. Like I'm not even over exaggerating.
13:45
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel clean, I feel organized when
13:50
Speaker 1: I make my bed every single morning. My husband looks
13:52
Speaker 1: at me like I'm crazy. Sunday morning, I'm like, okay,
13:55
Speaker 1: get get your bed out of bed, like I'm making
13:56
Speaker 1: the bed, and he's like, what if I'm gone on
13:59
Speaker 1: a train and I come home after a week, is
14:01
Speaker 1: my bed made? Absolutely not. My husband does not make
14:04
Speaker 1: the bed. I get upset because I'm like, why didn't
14:07
Speaker 1: you make the bed? Like it takes five minutes to
14:10
Speaker 1: literally make the bed, And I'm telling you right now
14:13
Speaker 1: I've heard Mel Robbins talk about this so many times
14:15
Speaker 1: on our podcast episode. But making your bed is the
14:19
Speaker 1: smallest task, but it's one thing that you could do
14:22
Speaker 1: every single morning that makes you feel like you started
14:25
Speaker 1: your day in the right way. My mindset immediately makes
14:28
Speaker 1: me feel like, Okay, I made my bed, I'm already
14:30
Speaker 1: feeling productive. I'm putting in the effort to make my
14:33
Speaker 1: space feel organized and clean. Sometimes we'll even spend like
14:36
Speaker 1: ten minutes in the morning after I make my bed,
14:38
Speaker 1: I put on my workout clothes five ten minutes before
14:40
Speaker 1: Pilate's class. Sometimes I'll even just do a quick tidy up,
14:43
Speaker 1: like making sure the house is all set to go,
14:45
Speaker 1: you know, putting away dishes that we wash maybe the
14:47
Speaker 1: night before, Like making sure the house is all tidy.
14:50
Speaker 1: That way, I don't have to worry about it later
14:51
Speaker 1: in the day. I feel like it just gives good
14:54
Speaker 1: energy going into my day when I feel like my
14:57
Speaker 1: space is organized and when my bed is made. So
15:00
Speaker 1: it's a small little task, but I do think it
15:02
Speaker 1: makes a huge difference going into my day. Another thing
15:05
Speaker 1: that I love that I'm taking into twenty twenty six
15:07
Speaker 1: is daily ice rolling. I loved ice roll my face.
15:11
Speaker 1: You could order something from Amazon for literally twelve dollars.
15:14
Speaker 1: It's not expensive, but I don't like to do the
15:17
Speaker 1: whole like dip your face in ice water. That's not
15:20
Speaker 1: for me. I've also heard mixed reviews about that, where
15:23
Speaker 1: people are saying that it's not really the best for
15:25
Speaker 1: your skin, like putting your face on direct ice cubes.
15:29
Speaker 1: But I will say that if you get an ice roller,
15:31
Speaker 1: you take it out of the fraser five minutes before
15:33
Speaker 1: you use it. I usually like to rub it on
15:35
Speaker 1: my hand before I apply it to my face, just
15:37
Speaker 1: so that it's a little bit warmer, because obviously it's
15:39
Speaker 1: pretty cold. But I feel like my face has looked
15:42
Speaker 1: so much more defined, and it deep puffs so much.
15:46
Speaker 1: Because when you wake up early, or when you wake
15:48
Speaker 1: up in general, when you're sleeping obviously for like seven
15:51
Speaker 1: eight hours or nine hours, however long you sleep, you
15:54
Speaker 1: feel a little swollen. Sometimes I don't know about you guys,
15:56
Speaker 1: but sometimes I wake up and my eyes are a
15:57
Speaker 1: little puffy, my cheeks are just looking a little swollen.
16:01
Speaker 1: So I find when I do an ice roll every
16:03
Speaker 1: single day, I just feel like it literally depuffs my
16:06
Speaker 1: face immediately and the bonus to it if you do
16:09
Speaker 1: wake up early. I feel like it kind of wakes
16:11
Speaker 1: me up because obviously cold compress on your face is
16:14
Speaker 1: going to wake you up. So I love doing this.
16:17
Speaker 1: I do this every single day. I love it so much.
16:19
Speaker 1: But again, this is something that you can get on
16:21
Speaker 1: Amazon for like twelve bucks. It's not expensive, but it's
16:23
Speaker 1: just a daily habit that I truly love that I
16:26
Speaker 1: will be taking into twenty twenty six. All Right, this
16:28
Speaker 1: next one, you guys are gonna be like Kaylee. You
16:30
Speaker 1: talk about this all the time. We get it. It
16:32
Speaker 1: is so good for you. Blah blah blah. Okay, Yes,
16:35
Speaker 1: walking eight to ten thousand steps a day has changed
16:38
Speaker 1: my life. I will say it is truly the best
16:41
Speaker 1: feeling ever when you actually hit your step goal for
16:43
Speaker 1: the day. Too. But I've always been that kind of
16:45
Speaker 1: person growing up where I felt like I always had
16:48
Speaker 1: to do intense cardio always, So I always felt like
16:51
Speaker 1: I had to go on a treadmill and sprint for
16:54
Speaker 1: ten minutes, or go on a spinning bike and spin
16:57
Speaker 1: for an hour. I will not lie. I hate intense cardio.
17:01
Speaker 1: I did it because I thought I had to do it.
17:04
Speaker 1: I thought Okay, Well, if I want to feel my
17:06
Speaker 1: absolute best self, I need to sweat my butt off
17:09
Speaker 1: and do these really high intense workouts. These past two years,
17:13
Speaker 1: I've discovered how important walking is and how walking can
17:17
Speaker 1: be your cardio throughout the week, and I personally feel
17:21
Speaker 1: like walking has just been the best way to clear
17:25
Speaker 1: my mind to get outside. It's truly a free therapy
17:29
Speaker 1: session in my opinion, like literally just walking outside listening
17:31
Speaker 1: to a podcast, like right there and then I'm already
17:33
Speaker 1: feeling so much better going into my day knowing that
17:35
Speaker 1: I've gotten fresh air, I've gotten to walk in all that.
17:38
Speaker 1: I used to be a spin co girly Okay, loved
17:41
Speaker 1: my spinning classes. Recently, I haven't been loving it. I
17:45
Speaker 1: don't know why I've stepped away from it. I have
17:47
Speaker 1: only done pilates and strength workouts at home for like
17:50
Speaker 1: the past two to three months. I would say, but
17:53
Speaker 1: I would say spinning is considered a hit workout. Obviously,
17:55
Speaker 1: it's a cardio session. You're pushing through it for an hour,
17:58
Speaker 1: And I would just say these past six months, I
18:01
Speaker 1: was just not feeling it anymore. I just felt like
18:03
Speaker 1: I was forcing myself to go just to get a
18:05
Speaker 1: cardio session in it wasn't something that fulfilled me, and
18:09
Speaker 1: walking was something that I feel like this year specifically
18:13
Speaker 1: really transformed how I felt about walking. I got a
18:16
Speaker 1: walking pad, you know. I spend thirty minutes daily going
18:19
Speaker 1: on it, sometimes an hour. Sometimes I'll do two different
18:22
Speaker 1: thirty minute times, Like I'll do a thirty minute walk
18:25
Speaker 1: in the morning at thirty minute walk in the afternoon.
18:27
Speaker 1: Like it really allows me just to destress, take my
18:31
Speaker 1: mind off of things, just walking, relaxing again, still getting
18:35
Speaker 1: a bit of cardio in. But yeah, walking has changed
18:38
Speaker 1: my life. I'm telling you right now, if you're not walking,
18:41
Speaker 1: get on a treadmill and walk. It is life changing,
18:43
Speaker 1: and it's cardio. It's the easiest way to get cardio in.
18:47
Speaker 1: And I feel so good doing it, and I don't
18:49
Speaker 1: feel the stress of doing you know, a hit workout
18:52
Speaker 1: or a hit cardio session. I feel like walking is
18:55
Speaker 1: the best form of movement for literally anything, and anyone
18:59
Speaker 1: can do it so easy and you feel good doing it.
19:02
Speaker 1: Another habit that I love that I'll be taking into
19:05
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six is doing workouts that actually make me
19:08
Speaker 1: feel good and things that'll actually stick to because if
19:12
Speaker 1: you start working out at a plate studio and you
19:14
Speaker 1: hate pilates, please stop it. Do not do it if
19:17
Speaker 1: you don't love it. You want to wake up every
19:19
Speaker 1: single morning, or you want to wake up every single
19:21
Speaker 1: day going into your workout class and actually enjoying it.
19:24
Speaker 1: You want to say that you love what you're doing,
19:26
Speaker 1: you love the movement, you love the way you feel.
19:29
Speaker 1: If you don't love the workout, you're not going to
19:31
Speaker 1: be consistent with it. You're not going to have a
19:33
Speaker 1: routine for yourself to do on a daily basis. So
19:36
Speaker 1: this is your sign to maybe try different workout classes out,
19:39
Speaker 1: try different things. So if you're not loving what you're doing,
19:41
Speaker 1: currently find something that you'll love. Because when you love
19:45
Speaker 1: a workout so much, that's when you're actually consistent with
19:48
Speaker 1: it and you're actually motivated throughout the week to do it.
19:51
Speaker 1: I get so many questions asking how do you do it?
19:53
Speaker 1: How are you always feel motivated? And obviously I have
19:56
Speaker 1: my days where I don't feel motivated, But the one
19:58
Speaker 1: thing that keeps me going is knowing I wake up
20:00
Speaker 1: every single morning, I do the workout that I truly
20:03
Speaker 1: enjoy and that I truly love, and I can go
20:06
Speaker 1: into each day, knowing that I feel good about what
20:09
Speaker 1: I did, Like I don't think about it all day,
20:11
Speaker 1: thinking like, oh, I hated that workout class. I wasn't
20:13
Speaker 1: enjoying it, and then guess what, I'm probably not going
20:15
Speaker 1: to go the next week because I didn't enjoy it.
20:17
Speaker 1: When you actually enjoy it, you're motivated to book the class,
20:20
Speaker 1: you want to go again, you want to pay for
20:22
Speaker 1: a membership. You start meeting friends, you start getting close
20:25
Speaker 1: with the instructors, you start loving the community that you're in,
20:27
Speaker 1: like it's an environment that you'll actually enjoy going to,
20:31
Speaker 1: and you'll feel motivated to go because you actually enjoy
20:35
Speaker 1: the people you're surrounded with, the workout that you're doing.
20:38
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't explain it, but I feel
20:40
Speaker 1: like that is the best way to describe it. Is
20:43
Speaker 1: when you create a workout routine for yourself and you
20:45
Speaker 1: go to workout classes that you actually enjoy, you'll actually
20:47
Speaker 1: stick to it and you'll actually achieve your goals. So
20:51
Speaker 1: that's that. Another thing is taking supplements that support my
20:54
Speaker 1: gut and overall health. I think this is something that
20:57
Speaker 1: some people skip out on, and I think it makes
20:59
Speaker 1: a huge difference in your mindset and how you feel.
21:02
Speaker 1: I personally feel like since I started taking a prebiotic
21:05
Speaker 1: and probiotic every single day along with some colostrum, I
21:10
Speaker 1: feel like I've been so good mentally, I feel again
21:14
Speaker 1: like I have more energy. I feel like, I don't know,
21:17
Speaker 1: like I go into my day with a better mindset
21:20
Speaker 1: knowing that I'm taking these supplements to better my health.
21:24
Speaker 1: And the gut plays such an important role in so
21:27
Speaker 1: many ways, in your skin, in your hair, like everything
21:30
Speaker 1: is related to our immune system, So you know, I
21:33
Speaker 1: think putting your gut first is a huge priority, so
21:36
Speaker 1: finding ways to support it, like taking supplements, talking to
21:40
Speaker 1: your doctor. I just had a doctor's appointment yesterday. I
21:43
Speaker 1: literally brought my supplements in because I'm like, I want
21:45
Speaker 1: you to tell me that I'm doing the right thing,
21:47
Speaker 1: Like are these things good for my body? Should I
21:49
Speaker 1: stop taking it? Am I okay to take this if
21:52
Speaker 1: I ever do get pregnant? All those questions that I
21:54
Speaker 1: was just asking her, and she's like, no, taking a
21:57
Speaker 1: probiotic and probiotic is incredible. It is so so good
22:00
Speaker 1: for you, and she thinks everybody should be taking that.
22:03
Speaker 1: And then colostrum is a new thing that she actually
22:06
Speaker 1: has never heard of, and she was like really impressed
22:09
Speaker 1: that I actually had that. So anyways, but she's like,
22:12
Speaker 1: you know, it's so important to make your gut a
22:15
Speaker 1: huge priority when it comes to your health. So taking
22:18
Speaker 1: supplements consistently I feel like has been a huge game
22:20
Speaker 1: changer for me. And yeah, I just think it's so
22:23
Speaker 1: important to focus on your gut health along with obviously
22:26
Speaker 1: your overall health. Next one is having a consistent skincare routine.
22:30
Speaker 1: I think the key to clear skin is using the
22:34
Speaker 1: same products, keeping your skincare routine very basic. You don't
22:37
Speaker 1: need eight products to put on your face. I feel
22:40
Speaker 1: like when I use four or five products, literally that's it.
22:44
Speaker 1: I cream, moisturizer. I usually use the milk glazing, which
22:49
Speaker 1: is kind of like an essence kream. I don't know
22:51
Speaker 1: if I said that. And then sunscreen, like I literally
22:54
Speaker 1: don't do much. I do not do any retinol. I
22:56
Speaker 1: do not do any tip of like acid, you know,
23:00
Speaker 1: on my face. I don't know even know what it's
23:01
Speaker 1: called hyaluronic acid or wherever it is. I feel like
23:04
Speaker 1: that just doesn't work for me. I do a retinal
23:07
Speaker 1: actually that's a lot. I do a retinal in my
23:09
Speaker 1: nighttime routine once a week. That's it. I don't do
23:11
Speaker 1: it more than that because my face just doesn't react
23:14
Speaker 1: well to retinal. But I try and do it very minimal,
23:18
Speaker 1: like a very minimal skin carroutine, and I feel like
23:20
Speaker 1: that's what works for me. But just having a consistent
23:22
Speaker 1: skin care routine in general, I think makes a huge
23:25
Speaker 1: difference in your skin. Your skin will thank you, and
23:28
Speaker 1: I do think that plays a huge impact on your
23:30
Speaker 1: clear skin. So having a consistent skin care routine I
23:33
Speaker 1: think makes a huge difference when you're actually obviously consistent
23:36
Speaker 1: with it, And I feel like using the same products
23:39
Speaker 1: makes a huge difference as well. This is a new
23:41
Speaker 1: one for me this year, and wow, am I obsessed
23:44
Speaker 1: with it. Magnesium before Ben Wow, Wow Wow. I cannot
23:49
Speaker 1: explain to you how this has changed my life. Like
23:52
Speaker 1: I feel so much more well rested while I'm sleeping.
23:56
Speaker 1: When I wake up in the morning, I'm up, like
23:58
Speaker 1: I am up and atom I am ready to take
24:00
Speaker 1: on the day. I feel like my sleeps have just
24:02
Speaker 1: been so much better since I started taking magnesium. On
24:07
Speaker 1: top of that, if you're someone like me, that works
24:09
Speaker 1: out pretty consistently, Okay, my muscles have not felt as
24:13
Speaker 1: sore because of me taking this every single night. Like,
24:17
Speaker 1: I don't know why I took so long to take magnesium,
24:21
Speaker 1: but wow, wow, wow, it has changed my life. I
24:24
Speaker 1: was talking to my doctor about it yesterday and she's like, no,
24:26
Speaker 1: this is literally everybody needs to take magnesium like it
24:30
Speaker 1: is life changing. I don't know why I didn't start
24:33
Speaker 1: doing this before. I'm so mad at myself because I
24:35
Speaker 1: feel like this has just been such a game changer
24:36
Speaker 1: in my mood and energy and everything since I started
24:39
Speaker 1: taking it. But obviously, again, any tip the supplements who
24:42
Speaker 1: take chat to your doctor about it. As I said,
24:44
Speaker 1: I literally brought all my supplements to my doctor's appointment
24:46
Speaker 1: to make sure that everything I was taking was okay.
24:48
Speaker 1: But magnesium is so so good, and I feel like
24:51
Speaker 1: it's been a huge game changer for me specifically. This
24:54
Speaker 1: is another great one that I will definitely be taking
24:56
Speaker 1: into twenty twenty six is positive self talk. You have
25:00
Speaker 1: no idea how many times my husband will catch me
25:03
Speaker 1: talking to myself, Like, not in a creepy way at all,
25:06
Speaker 1: but if I'm in a negative headspace, I will literally
25:09
Speaker 1: whisper to myself and talk myself out of that negative headspace,
25:13
Speaker 1: and I truly feel like having positive self talk really
25:17
Speaker 1: does like take your mind off of those things that
25:20
Speaker 1: you were thinking about before that put you in that
25:22
Speaker 1: negative head space. Like really saying those positive things and
25:25
Speaker 1: putting just a positive aspect into your mind, you see
25:30
Speaker 1: things so differently and you feel so much better about yourself,
25:33
Speaker 1: about the situation, everything. When it comes to anything, talking
25:37
Speaker 1: to yourself in a positive way is so so crucial,
25:41
Speaker 1: So especially if you're someone that may have a bit
25:43
Speaker 1: of mental health issues. I go through, you know, periods
25:46
Speaker 1: of really high stress or anxiety. I feel like when
25:49
Speaker 1: I talk to myself in a positive way and I
25:51
Speaker 1: say positive things to myself, I just feel like I
25:54
Speaker 1: feel like a whole new person and I feel better
25:56
Speaker 1: about myself, I feel better about the situation all that.
25:59
Speaker 1: So really focusing on practicing positive self talk, I think
26:02
Speaker 1: is crucial. Okay, this is something that I actually haven't
26:05
Speaker 1: talked about yet, But since September, I have not really
26:10
Speaker 1: had alcohol at all. I think I've had maybe two drinks. Yeah,
26:16
Speaker 1: two drinks. I think I've had two drinks. For one
26:20
Speaker 1: was at a spa and then the other was at
26:24
Speaker 1: a dinner, that is it. Like I literally have not
26:26
Speaker 1: had any alcohol since. I do think cutting out alcohol
26:31
Speaker 1: has been a huge thing for my mental health and
26:36
Speaker 1: how I felt. And again, I've always been the kind
26:39
Speaker 1: of person where all of a balance, Like I've always
26:42
Speaker 1: been like, you know, odd time, I'll have my drinks whatever,
26:45
Speaker 1: But there has just been something that I I don't
26:48
Speaker 1: want it anymore, Like I just I don't crave it,
26:50
Speaker 1: Like I would rather order a mocktail than order an
26:54
Speaker 1: alcoholic beverage. And I feel like restaurants have been making
26:57
Speaker 1: that so much more of a you know, common thing
27:01
Speaker 1: that people do. Like I feel like it's so common
27:03
Speaker 1: to see mocktails on restaurants menus and all that, and
27:08
Speaker 1: I've just been a mocktail girly and I feel like
27:11
Speaker 1: I've really been embracing that. But I don't know, I
27:13
Speaker 1: just like haven't had the need to have a glass
27:17
Speaker 1: of alcohol. But I do think it's actually improved my life.
27:20
Speaker 1: Like I do think it's been a huge thing for
27:23
Speaker 1: me mentally, I've been feeling really good. And again, alcohol
27:26
Speaker 1: is not for everyone, and sometimes if you think it's
27:29
Speaker 1: best for yourself to not have it, that's okay too.
27:32
Speaker 1: So I feel like, as long as you're with people
27:34
Speaker 1: that fully support it or you know, people obviously don't
27:38
Speaker 1: care if you drink or not. I think it's important
27:40
Speaker 1: to be in friendships that people will support your decision
27:42
Speaker 1: and understand your decision as to why you're not drinking.
27:46
Speaker 1: But that's kind of what's been going on. I guess
27:50
Speaker 1: for me is yeah, being a mocktail girly. Something else
27:54
Speaker 1: that I'm taking into twenty twenty six that I feel
27:56
Speaker 1: like has been a huge game changer for me in
27:57
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five is brain dumping everything. Any idea that
28:03
Speaker 1: comes to my head, anything that I've visualized or things
28:05
Speaker 1: that I want for myself in life. I will always
28:08
Speaker 1: either write it in the notes in my phone, take
28:10
Speaker 1: a screenshot of something that I visually like, go in
28:13
Speaker 1: my journal, write out something that I specifically visualize for
28:17
Speaker 1: myself in the future. It is so important to constantly
28:21
Speaker 1: brain dump every single day because let's be honest, there's
28:24
Speaker 1: ideas coming in your head all the time. If you
28:27
Speaker 1: don't write it down in that moment, you will forget.
28:29
Speaker 1: You will. So doing a brain dump every single day
28:32
Speaker 1: I think is so so important. This is why I
28:34
Speaker 1: go on Pinterest daily because I think Pinterest is the
28:37
Speaker 1: most amazing app. You're constantly visualizing things for yourself that
28:41
Speaker 1: you envision for yourself, your future, your goals. It makes
28:45
Speaker 1: you think of ideas that you may have never thought
28:47
Speaker 1: of that you want for yourself. Just constantly visualizing your
28:51
Speaker 1: dream in life, your dream goals, the version that you
28:53
Speaker 1: want to become. It's just so so important to constantly
28:57
Speaker 1: find ways to write things out that you're thinking in
29:01
Speaker 1: that exact moment, and it just kind of like structures
29:04
Speaker 1: out how you want your life to look like, if
29:07
Speaker 1: that makes sense. So yeah, I think it's important too obviously,
29:10
Speaker 1: write daily goals, write weekly goals, and write anything that
29:15
Speaker 1: comes to your mind that you are passionate about or
29:17
Speaker 1: things that you see for yourself. Another thing that I've
29:20
Speaker 1: done this year that I got back into that I
29:22
Speaker 1: want to take into twenty twenty six is meal prepping.
29:25
Speaker 1: I kind of chatted about this in a video a
29:27
Speaker 1: few weeks ago about how I'm like ninety percent sure
29:30
Speaker 1: that I was under eating and not even realizing it
29:32
Speaker 1: because ever since I started to meal prep, the energy
29:36
Speaker 1: that I feel throughout my day versus having a small
29:38
Speaker 1: little lunch or a small little snack plate. I feel
29:43
Speaker 1: so so much better actually eating a full meal and
29:46
Speaker 1: going into my day with enough energy till my dinner.
29:50
Speaker 1: And it sounds so bad because lunch was always that
29:53
Speaker 1: kind of meal for me where I'm like, oh, I'll
29:54
Speaker 1: just skip it, or oh, I'll just make something quick
29:57
Speaker 1: because you know, I just never knew what to make.
30:00
Speaker 1: You know, I work from home, so I'm kind of like, oh,
30:02
Speaker 1: I don't need to make a big meal. I can
30:03
Speaker 1: just have a big dinner, a big breakfast, small lunch, whatever.
30:06
Speaker 1: Ever since I started meal prepping and actually making a
30:09
Speaker 1: meal for four days, four to five days is usually
30:12
Speaker 1: how long it lasts me. I used to hate eating
30:14
Speaker 1: the same thing every single day, but I've actually started
30:16
Speaker 1: to find recipes now that I really do enjoy, and
30:18
Speaker 1: I actually enjoy eating every single day, and I just
30:22
Speaker 1: have so much more energy. I'm seeing food as fuel,
30:26
Speaker 1: and I just never really realized how much our bodies
30:29
Speaker 1: really needed full meals to be fully transparent. Like I
30:32
Speaker 1: thought I could survive off of either skipping lunch or
30:35
Speaker 1: you know, having a small meal. But ever since actually
30:38
Speaker 1: eating a full balance lunch, my energy levels and productivity
30:44
Speaker 1: levels have just been so much better. So that's just
30:46
Speaker 1: coming from experience from someone who was like literally under
30:49
Speaker 1: eating for the first half of this year, and then
30:51
Speaker 1: I started meal prepping this summer and then I feel
30:53
Speaker 1: like everything changed for me, like energy wise, productive level wise,
30:56
Speaker 1: like everything. And I truly do think it's because I'm
30:58
Speaker 1: actually eating a well balanced lunch for skipping out on
31:02
Speaker 1: the meal. Okay, this next one is very much a
31:04
Speaker 1: girly thing to do, but actually putting in the effort
31:07
Speaker 1: of doing in everything, shower once a week and doing
31:10
Speaker 1: a blowout makes you feel so much better. Like I
31:14
Speaker 1: love blowing out my hair once a week. I love
31:17
Speaker 1: doing a little bit of makeup, you know, putting on
31:19
Speaker 1: a cute outfit, having my hair fully blown out, and
31:22
Speaker 1: I feel good about myself. And you know what, every
31:24
Speaker 1: time I actually do that, now that I think about it,
31:26
Speaker 1: my husband usually compliments me. He's like, oh, you look
31:28
Speaker 1: nice today, because usually I have my hair up in
31:30
Speaker 1: a ponytail. You know, I have very minimal makeup on,
31:33
Speaker 1: I have a cozy outfit on. Again because I work
31:35
Speaker 1: from home, I still like to put a little effort
31:36
Speaker 1: in myself. As I said, still look put together. But
31:40
Speaker 1: you know, my hair is not really done. I don't
31:41
Speaker 1: really care what I look like whatever. When I actually
31:44
Speaker 1: do my weekly blowout and I like put the effort
31:46
Speaker 1: of my hair, my husband will always say something and
31:47
Speaker 1: I do find it funny because again, it's just putting
31:50
Speaker 1: in that effort every week to like do something for yourself.
31:53
Speaker 1: And let's be honest, having your hair freshly blown out,
31:56
Speaker 1: it's truly the best feeling. It's a girl feeling that
31:59
Speaker 1: no guy I would ever understand is having a freshly
32:02
Speaker 1: washed blowout, and just like you want to leave the house,
32:06
Speaker 1: You want to get out, you want to go out
32:07
Speaker 1: for dinner, you want to see the girls. Like I
32:09
Speaker 1: don't know how to explain it, but like I feel
32:10
Speaker 1: like when my hair is freshly done, I'm feeling good
32:13
Speaker 1: and I want to leave the house. Another one is
32:16
Speaker 1: planning out your day before the next day. I always
32:21
Speaker 1: always talk about this, but having a little to do
32:23
Speaker 1: list of knowing everything that you have to do the
32:24
Speaker 1: following day makes you feel already going into your day,
32:28
Speaker 1: like you know what's about to happen and you're ready
32:31
Speaker 1: to be productive and you have all this shit that
32:33
Speaker 1: you need to get done. Like planning things out makes
32:36
Speaker 1: your life so much easier. It's such a small task. Again,
32:39
Speaker 1: could be in your notes on your phone, could be
32:40
Speaker 1: in your journal, but writing out everything that you need
32:43
Speaker 1: to do the next day just makes yourself feel so
32:45
Speaker 1: much more organized. You know exactly what you need to do.
32:48
Speaker 1: You don't need to stress about forgetting something or if
32:50
Speaker 1: you had an appointment that you forgot about. Like if
32:52
Speaker 1: you prep everything the day before, you'll know what you
32:55
Speaker 1: need to do going into the next day. So it's
32:57
Speaker 1: a very small task, but it does make a huge
32:59
Speaker 1: difference going into your day and going into your week.
33:02
Speaker 1: Another one is daily gratitude. It's so crucial to be
33:09
Speaker 1: grateful every single day for the light that you've created
33:12
Speaker 1: for yourself, the people that you're surrounded by, your parents,
33:16
Speaker 1: your loved one, your sister, your life, everything, Like, it's
33:19
Speaker 1: so so important to be grateful for things that God
33:23
Speaker 1: has given you. I feel like I've definitely leaned into
33:26
Speaker 1: my faith a bit this year and definitely like realize
33:29
Speaker 1: how appreciated I am for the life that God has
33:33
Speaker 1: given me. And when you're thankful for things that have
33:35
Speaker 1: come into your life, I do think more good things
33:38
Speaker 1: come to you. And just yeah, practicing daily gratitude I
33:42
Speaker 1: think really makes a huge difference in your mindset, how
33:45
Speaker 1: you feel about life, how you see life, and just
33:48
Speaker 1: makes you realize how grateful you are to be able
33:51
Speaker 1: to do the little things like moving your body, your health,
33:54
Speaker 1: the people that you surround yourself with all that. Oh,
33:57
Speaker 1: this is another one that I feel like I've grown
33:59
Speaker 1: so much this year You're in and that is saying
34:01
Speaker 1: no to plans without having to over explain why if
34:05
Speaker 1: I don't want to go out, I am okay with
34:09
Speaker 1: saying I'm not going out like I feel like last
34:12
Speaker 1: year I would have felt forced like, oh, I need
34:15
Speaker 1: to get out of the house though I need to
34:16
Speaker 1: see people whatever. If I don't want to go, then
34:19
Speaker 1: I'm not going. I definitely don't have FOMA anymore. I
34:22
Speaker 1: truly enjoy the times that I have here at the
34:26
Speaker 1: house with my husband, with my dog. If I want
34:29
Speaker 1: to go out, though, I'm going to go out. If
34:31
Speaker 1: I don't want to go out though, and I don't
34:33
Speaker 1: want to do whatever my friends are doing, I'm okay
34:36
Speaker 1: with not having to explain why I'm not going. I'll
34:38
Speaker 1: just be like, hey, can't make it, but thanks for
34:41
Speaker 1: thinking of me, you know what I mean? Like I
34:42
Speaker 1: don't care. Like, at the end of the day, it's
34:45
Speaker 1: so important to just say yes things you actually want
34:47
Speaker 1: to do, because then at least you're there and you
34:49
Speaker 1: feel good about your decision. You're not there because you
34:51
Speaker 1: felt like you forced yourself to go right. So I
34:53
Speaker 1: don't know, I feel like saying no is okay and
34:56
Speaker 1: I don't have an issue with anymore. And when I
34:59
Speaker 1: do say yes, it's to things that I actually want
35:01
Speaker 1: to go to. This is another thing that I talk
35:02
Speaker 1: about all the time. But something else I want to
35:04
Speaker 1: take into twenty twenty six is really just continuing to
35:08
Speaker 1: romanticize the little things in my life. When it's you know,
35:11
Speaker 1: making my coffee, lighting a candle, drinking out of a
35:15
Speaker 1: fancy glass. Maybe it's buying yourself flowers, putting flowers in
35:19
Speaker 1: the house. Maybe it's wearing a matching set. Maybe it's
35:22
Speaker 1: drinking water out of a wine glass. It could also
35:25
Speaker 1: be putting on music while you're cleaning. Like doing the
35:28
Speaker 1: basic things in your life, but making it a little
35:31
Speaker 1: bit better by romanticizing it, by making it just a
35:34
Speaker 1: little bit more elevated. You feel so so much better
35:37
Speaker 1: about how your little life is. And yeah, just spending
35:41
Speaker 1: the time to actually romanticize it and make it feel
35:43
Speaker 1: a little bit more elevated. Is something that just makes
35:46
Speaker 1: you feel very classy. Another thing for twenty twenty six
35:50
Speaker 1: that I think is a non negotiable is habit stacking,
35:53
Speaker 1: doing multiple things at once. It is truly going to
35:57
Speaker 1: be your best friend if you're able to do two
35:58
Speaker 1: things at once, whether it's driving in the car and
36:01
Speaker 1: listening to a podcast or walking on the treadmill and
36:04
Speaker 1: reading a book. Like, there's so many things that you
36:06
Speaker 1: could think about that you could do two things at once,
36:09
Speaker 1: but habit stacking is so crucial. I think it's been
36:11
Speaker 1: a huge game changer for me going into twenty twenty five.
36:14
Speaker 1: I love doing this and it's definitely been easier to
36:17
Speaker 1: obviously get everything that I want to get done in
36:20
Speaker 1: a short period of time, Like in my morning routine,
36:22
Speaker 1: I'll habit stack. I think it just is a huge
36:25
Speaker 1: game changer and is great for people who maybe have
36:29
Speaker 1: a early start to work. If you can do multiple
36:31
Speaker 1: things at once early in the morning to get everything
36:34
Speaker 1: that you want to get done before you start your day.
36:36
Speaker 1: I think habit stacking is key. Okay, we have five
36:39
Speaker 1: more things here, but laying out your clothes before the
36:43
Speaker 1: next day. I don't need to explain that, but I
36:45
Speaker 1: do think having your clothes all set and ready is
36:48
Speaker 1: another thing, kind of like when it comes to making
36:49
Speaker 1: your bed every single morning, it's just kind of like
36:51
Speaker 1: a daily habit that's easy to have all set and done.
36:54
Speaker 1: Every time before you go to bed, you grab the
36:56
Speaker 1: clothes that you're going to wear. It makes things fast efficient,
36:58
Speaker 1: you don't need to think about it. You know exactly
37:00
Speaker 1: what you're gonna be wearing the next day. So I
37:02
Speaker 1: feel like that's the key to starting your day off,
37:05
Speaker 1: is knowing everything that you're gonna wear that day. Another
37:08
Speaker 1: thing is regular stretching and being more mindful about wanting
37:11
Speaker 1: to relax. So finding ways like listening to meditation, taking
37:15
Speaker 1: ten minutes out of your night to stretch and just destress,
37:19
Speaker 1: and just actually being intentional and forcing yourself to relax,
37:23
Speaker 1: I think is so so crucial, especially for people who
37:25
Speaker 1: might be constantly working out or in a job that
37:28
Speaker 1: keeps you on your toes and you're on your feet
37:30
Speaker 1: all the time. Like, actually spending the time to stretch
37:32
Speaker 1: and relax before you head to bed is super super crucial.
37:36
Speaker 1: Another thing is consuming content or TV shows that actually
37:40
Speaker 1: fulfill you. I get caught so many times watching things
37:43
Speaker 1: on social media that have no purpose at all or
37:47
Speaker 1: has spiked my anxiety or has spiked my stress. And
37:51
Speaker 1: now I've been really intentional with things that I watch
37:54
Speaker 1: and things that I actually want to consume on social media,
37:57
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to TV shows. I talked about
37:59
Speaker 1: this and my most YouTube video, but I feel like
38:01
Speaker 1: watching old TV shows have broughten so much light into
38:05
Speaker 1: my mind, and like watching things that I watched as
38:07
Speaker 1: a teenager and almost TV shows that I would consider
38:11
Speaker 1: my comfort shows have brought me so much joy, And
38:15
Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like I just feel better
38:17
Speaker 1: mentally when I'm watching comfort shows and watching things that
38:21
Speaker 1: I watched in my teens, and I'm consuming things that
38:23
Speaker 1: I actually want to consume. So being really intentional of
38:27
Speaker 1: what you want to watch on social media or what
38:29
Speaker 1: you want to watch in a TV show, I think
38:31
Speaker 1: plays a huge impact in your mind, your mindset, and
38:35
Speaker 1: how you go into your day to day. Another one
38:37
Speaker 1: is having coffee after breakfast. We've definitely talked about this
38:41
Speaker 1: in the past, but your cholesterols definitely spike when you
38:45
Speaker 1: drink coffee before breakfast or just on an empty stomach
38:48
Speaker 1: in general. So this is your sign to eat a banana,
38:51
Speaker 1: eat a granola bar. It could be the smallest thing,
38:54
Speaker 1: but just having your coffee after breakfast will be a
38:57
Speaker 1: huge game changer for yourself. And again, it really helps
38:59
Speaker 1: with your energy levels, it helps manage your anxiety. I
39:02
Speaker 1: feel like when I have a coffee on an empty stomach,
39:04
Speaker 1: my anxiety literally spikes immediately. So I always make sure
39:08
Speaker 1: to eat something before I have my coffee. And it's
39:11
Speaker 1: just something that's been a regular thing for me now
39:14
Speaker 1: and I feel like it just has been a huge
39:15
Speaker 1: impact in my day to day life. I'm a big
39:18
Speaker 1: girly girl, as you guys know, so for me, monthly
39:20
Speaker 1: beauty appointments is a non negotiable. Getting my nails done,
39:23
Speaker 1: getting my eyebrows done, getting the odd spray tands. Sometimes
39:27
Speaker 1: I feel so much more put together when I do
39:29
Speaker 1: these appointments. And I know it's not for everybody, but
39:32
Speaker 1: I do feel really good when I get a manny petty,
39:35
Speaker 1: when I get my eyebrows wax, when my hair is
39:38
Speaker 1: freshly blown out. It's the little things, but I do
39:40
Speaker 1: think it makes a huge difference in how I feel
39:44
Speaker 1: and how I want to see myself, Like, I just
39:46
Speaker 1: feel good when I do those little appointments, and I
39:49
Speaker 1: just feel a lot more put together. And the last
39:51
Speaker 1: one that I wrote was eating at home eighty percent
39:54
Speaker 1: of the time, home cooked meals over takeout. Obviously having
39:58
Speaker 1: the odd takeout meal on the weekend or going out
40:00
Speaker 1: for dinner, whatever the case may be. But I do
40:03
Speaker 1: think eating at home and having home cooked meals plays
40:06
Speaker 1: a huge impact how you feel your mood everything. Obviously,
40:09
Speaker 1: cooking everything yourself, you know exactly what's going in the food.
40:13
Speaker 1: Obviously it's a healthier lifestyle choice as well when you're
40:16
Speaker 1: eating home cooked meals. And I don't know, I just
40:18
Speaker 1: feel like you feel good when you actually make a
40:20
Speaker 1: home cooked meal versus ordering takeout every single night. But
40:25
Speaker 1: those are the twenty six things that I'm taking into
40:28
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six that I think are non negotiables for
40:31
Speaker 1: me that have either changed my life or have made
40:33
Speaker 1: such a huge positive impact in my day to day life.
40:36
Speaker 1: So I hope this episode was inspiring for you or
40:40
Speaker 1: it's almost like a reminder to do these little things
40:43
Speaker 1: that allow yourself to make you feel like you're the
40:45
Speaker 1: best version of yourself or you feel good when you're
40:48
Speaker 1: doing these things and actually being consistent with it makes
40:51
Speaker 1: a huge, huge difference in your day to day life.
40:55
Speaker 1: But I'm going to end this episode off here. I
40:57
Speaker 1: love you guys also much. I hope you guys enjoyed
40:59
Speaker 1: the start of the twenty twenty six episodes for December.
41:04
Speaker 1: Really just gearing up for the new year ahead. But
41:07
Speaker 1: I love you guys allso much. Thank you guys for listening,
41:09
Speaker 1: and I will see you guys in next week's episode.
