What habits did I miss?
Exercising, is one of my must do habit 6 days a week
Daily de-briefs - what went good/bad, why, how to improve?!
Reading the Bible in the morning 🙏
Gabe these are such great ideas. I downloaded this immediately to watch later! I live off-grid in the North Idaho mountains. It is way cold here right now (-30 about 4 weeks ago but warmer now). During your video you got me thinking a bit. You said "schedule self-care time!" I have an autoimmune issue that puts me in bed for several days at a time sometimes. Yes sucks! But love your idea! Why not schedule a bit of a hobby for those in-bed times? Hadn't thought of that before. I always default to watching something online. But why? I could be learning something cool like drawing or painting, or another "hobby!" Yea! Thanks! Have to think a bit about what cool thing I would like to learn and do. I might set up a little rolling cart by my bed with this new "hobby" idea! --So I can make lemonade out of those lemons!
2 things. I’ve been doing the ‘swallow the frog’ first& this has impacted my well being indescribably. I’ve been setting myself 20minute timers while swallowing said frog. AMAZING RESULTS! @gabebult really enjoying your content THANK YOU!!!
I’d like to add one - go outside. Don’t stay in the house. Walk, hike; go to the park, check out the local scene by being a tourist in your own town. Just go outside.
He mentioned it at self care time
ok
Here's a habit that will have a big impact. Be early. Always. Routinely. That way, you're never rushing, which will give you peace of mind, and if there are unexpected delays, you'll still be on time. Bring a book. You'll never miss a flight or be late to a meeting, and you'll get a reputation for being reliable.
Such excellent advice, I’m going to screenshot your comment and share it with my entire family. Thank you 👍😊
Love this and so true!! Simple, be on time!!
amazing advice! I am adding it to my file of advice and life lessons. thank you
Until my ADHD brain convinces me I’m late/early/late, can’t do anything until that time, then late anyway because my brain got overloaded and peaced out on me. If I could, I swear I would.
My father taught me this. Is a classy habit! Amazing advice.
We are now empty nester. As I look back and ahead, I see that my husband has lived a life filled with fulfilling routines that got us here. This was long before social media and smart phones. He just lived the way his parents did. God first, then family. Care about your neighbors, but don't care about impressing anyone. I really had no idea how far his simple and steady approach would take us. So many of the blessings we have are the result of this quiet, unselfish, kind man who prioritized in the right way. Almost all the things you mentioned he started doing at age 20 -- including remain debt free no matter what. We're looking at 60's, and I am so grateful for his steadfast ways. ❤
...what about your contributions?
I'm sure she always respected him and lifted him up, which is what she continues to do. she's not looking for credit for herself!!!
He sounds great
Thank you so much for showing love to your husband. That means a lot to us husbands out there. ❤
@@ninascott8338she's giving credit to her husband. That's what she decided to do right now. She doesn't have to publicly proclaim what she's done or give herself any credit. I'm sure her actions and lifestyle speaks for itself true humility is when we learn to give credit to others, and not have to do it for ourselves.
"Don't let perfect be the enemy of good." Damn.
I believe there are some neuroses running in both sides of my genetics and, without getting into those specifics, in the last few years I've begun attempting to identify when a hyperfocus/ocd tendency hits, how productive/satisfying the task will be - how to be ocd about being ocd, if you will. I can spend hours organizing and aligning things (as an artist I can view this as practicing my still life composition skills), but some piles of clutter sit bc i haven't found a home for the items and other tasks take precedent... until one day I've decided I'm tired of letting it stress out that corner of my living space, and poof! It's gone.
That's a very old russian saying.
in Poland we also say "better is the enemy of good"
There is a very similar quote in East of Eden by John Steinbeck: "Now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good." +Wholeheartedly recommend to book to just about everyone.
@@koloskinyo5500 Steinbeck in one of my favorite authors. Definitely agree that he's a must-read.
Cleaning routine tip! Especially if you have ADHD like myself! Pair your cleaning activities with your activities of daily living... the things in your life that you do every day no matter what. Some examples: when I brush my teeth in the morning, I use my other hand to straighten my counter up and give it a quick wipe. When I get dressed, I also "dress" my bed. It feels SO good getting into a made bed at night! While I heat my breakfast, I unload my dishwasher. While I heat lunch I reload it. I don't buy ad-free versions of some of my streaming platforms...during ads I switch or fold laundry or tidy up my living room. When I brew my coffee, I water my indoor plants. When I let my dogs outside, I water my garden. Pairing is just so natural, often I think in a way now of searching for ways to cheat more into the smallest time block and its like a fun challenge.
Yes! I do the same. I never even thought about it before.
So true! I am a BIG advocate of the 'two (or more) birds with one stone! BTW I HATE anything that says bad things about animals but can't think of a better example
Yep, not following the news is a game changer. Anxiety level is way ⬇️
So true! My husband would watch TikTok all the time and literally everyday, there was something that amped up his anxiety and made him paranoid. The world is going to end, economy, conspiracy type stuff. He saw how it was affecting him and completely deleted it from his phone. As you said, complete game changer.
It's all lies anyway and psyops used to create fear and stress. I stopped watching it 6 years ago. Haven't missed it. I do a weather app on my phone for weather. It's more accurate anyhow.
This has helped me a lot: Don't put it down, put it away.

Not all heroes wear a cape
Good list. Saved a lot of time. 🙂
I pay myself first ( savings I pay cash for everything I have no debt I practice minimalism I plan .....written budget,meal planner, grocery list I only buy what I NEED I make home cooked meals I cut and color my hair I give myself manicures and pedicures I consistently give away I have a Prepper Pantry I wash clothes only in full load and cold water I unplug everything I use I have a fun zippered case with single dollar bills collected and when it totals 100.00 it gies to savings I never mail anything. Went paperless. And, be a giver ...a generous routine giver. The power of money is not what you make but rather what you do with it.
What a fantastic list, thankyou
Great!
Good statement I read that has helped me is “The pain of doing nothing will always be worse than the pain of doing something”
I really appreciated all these time and 'peace of mind' saving ideas! Some tricks I have learned are: 1. I buy all my socks in the same style and color, same with winter gloves, I bought several one year and just keep using them. When I lose a right glove, I get another, same with losing a left glove. 2. I also started graying at around 19, so I decided to 'go gray gracefully'. My poor aunt once asked when I was going to start dyeing my hair because it made HER look old, and I told her never. I am now 65 and only use wash-out dye in a pink or purple when I need a little pick me up. I only wash my hair 2x week as it gets too dry, and this has also saved me a lot of time. 3. As far as clothing goes, I have been trying to change over to a more minimalist style and try to keep any new clothing I buy in shades of blue or gray. I also wear my slacks for 2-3 days if they don't get dirty. I change my tops daily as I do have a problem with hand tremors, and I change everything else on a daily basis. In the summer I wear sandals, so no socks at all. 4. I rarely get on facebook because I will be on all day if I do. I tell everyone that if they need me to know something, either call me or text me the info. 5. I ride my exercycle every day. If I am not feeling well, I may only do 10-15 minutes. Otherwise, I try for as close to 1 hour as I can. I am disabled, so I can not always make it for the full hour, so my goal is actually 30 minutes daily minimum...I do go to a pool at least 1x weekly when possible and walk around the pool for 30-60 minutes. The pool is at a community/senior center, so I socialize while I am there having lunch before I get into the pool! Afterward is when I do my grocery shopping (I am starting to order most items online to do a curb pickup, the anything I want to pick out myself, I get by running into store for a short time, then going out to car to finish my grocery pickup. Yes, I pay 2x, but I save so much time.) and then run any other errands that I need to, so that I only have to leave home 1x week when possible. 6. When cleaning bathrooms, I spray everything down and leave the spray to work its magic for about 5-10 minutes, then return to clean and rarely have ever had to scrub because I gave the spray time to work. While I wait that 5-10 minutes, I go run hot water in my kitchen sink and put dishes in to soak while I go back to clean the bathroom...unfortunately, due to a disability, I rarely feel well enough to do everything on a daily basis.😢 I do what I can when I can, so I try to do as much as I can in as little time as possible. I have my exercycle next to my washer and dryer and on the day(s) I am able to do Iaundry, I do it while riding my exercycle. I also watch most of the KZhead videos I watch at this time as well, though I may change this to listening to music instead, or maybe a mix of the two, not sure yet... Anyway, thanks for a few extra ideas!
These ideas are really, really good. I admire your dedication to your health - your exercise routine is great. Good point on spraying the cleaner in the bathroom and letting it actually have time to work!
your comment sparked me to create a habit of cleaning breakfast dishes while my husband is in the shower, because it takes so long for hot water to get to the side of the house with the master bathroom and the kitchen! I'm not sure what your disability is, but there are exercise systems that help with our functional disabilities that we can do in more like 15 to 20 minutes that give us more strength and aerobic capacity without pushing up our cortisol which usually happens after 20 minutes or so. Personally, I love rebounding on a safe rebounder because it offers so many more health benefits than cycling exercise! I use the Cellerciser, Other safe ones include the lymphasizer, and a few others. You want a therapeutic versus damaging bounce. Really helps with blood sugar, blood pressure, balance, detoxification, building muscle throughout the body, as well as being aerobic.
@bitrudder3792 I would love a rebounder, may get one someday, if my doctor decides it is safe.. I mostly use an excercycle, no weight on damaged ankles, knees, and my replaced hip. Does wonders for blood flow... I do easy short walks to the street and back and do gentle stretches... I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, which is a connective tissue problem. Joints refuse to stay in place...cannot do anything in regards to weights or lots of jumping up and down with sudden stops, of course...I was walking in a pool, but they shut it down for repairs and have no idea when it will reopen. Thank goodness outdoor pools will open in about a month, so I can get back to doing that as well.
@bitrudder3792 I'll bet your husband appreciates his getting hot water quicker that way too... Glad I was able to inspire you!
I dye my hair yellow because it makes me happy 😊 that's a little thing that brings more positive than negative to me.
I dye my hair red; it makes me. Happy.
Yup, I cover my grey. Doesn’t look good on everyone - and ageism is real & a definite source of stress for many people
Yeah I think coloring gray is a personal choice and totally okay if you choose to do it. It really doesn’t take as long at he makes it seem. For short hair going one color, it’s really, really easy.
Deciding what to wear is the best part of my day. Getting ready, wearing nice clothes, makeup. and perfume is so much fun for me. Taking the colour out of my life to wear only black is the worst piece of advice for me. This is why not every piece of content is made for everyone 😅
Clean as you go. The key thing for me is not time saving (spending 15 min a day vs 2h once a week), but that spending same time/effort, I live my life in a clean place and not in a mess
I replaced music at the gym with books on Audible - same with time spent in the car. I work from home and unfortunately spend a LOT of time in front of my computer. I work VERY hard for 40 minutes, then give myself a 20 minute "break". This keeps me recharged and lets me balance my day. I run errands during my "lunch break" so I don't feel stuck at home all the time too.
That's great!
40 min on, 20 min Off?? Try the pomodoro prinziple once.... 25min on, 5 min Off. 4 times, than 30min Off. .. surge vor pomodoro technique
@@smsdelux I'm 54 years old with ADD. When I'm in a zone, I don't break it at 20 minutes. Plus, 25 minutes isn't enough time to do anything in my business.
A book of random ideas is called a "Commonplace Book". It's a blank journal that you carry with you and jot down ideas you have, interesting quotes, etc. Basically everything you want to remember or do someday. I've always carried one with me!
Recently accidentally also started doing this. LIFE CHANGING.
Absolutely! Complete game changer for achieving things.
Yes. I started a commonplace book & finally caved to a Traveler’s Journal, but had one custom made on Etsy. It’s extra large with all the notebooks/folders I need in one place - commonplace book, calendar, to do/shopping/notes book, & sketchbook. Pocket on front for pens. Life changer.
I just started not dying my hair last year. It's been a journey. I hear comments on it daily but I'm getting more comfortable with it every day.
I’ve really been thinking of doing the same.
I’ve been so happy since I gave hair coloring up. And I’ve been pleasantly surprised by my natural hair color!
I don’t dye my hair either. Sometimes I think about it, but then I get over it. I like my hair and am trying to normalize people embracing the hair they have. We’re all beautiful in our way-society is telling us we’re not okay in order to sell us something we don’t need.
When people are dying their normal colored hair, especially when it hasn't even gone gray yet, I just feel like there's a self-rejection problem in society. 😢 I think people feel out of step with what's popular and what's in style without considering what looks good on them. Coloring hair in order for it to match a standard set by someone else. after decades of information available on selecting colors that look good on us, I was hoping that this understanding would be a little more widespread. Everyone is on a continuum of cool to warm coloring, muted to clear coloring, high to low contrast, and everywhere in between. Just find where you fit on that and start holding things up to yourself and see what works. In this world of cell phones, it's not hard to get into some good light, and start taking pictures of our hair, eyes, eyebrows, lips, the inside of our lips, skin at different parts of our body, our skin when flushed (pinch your thumb and take a picture of how pink it gets), don't forget your nails without polish on them. Then start blowing up and taking screenshots of these pictures until you have what looks like color chips. Lots and lots of color chips reflecting all the colors that you see. Keep doing screenshots until you have a nice representation of the colors of YOU. This is your neutral palette, and it may have your most beautiful colors that are not neutral, depending on the color of your eyes. take a screenshot of all of those colors and voilà take it shopping with you. Don't settle for things that aren't harmonious with it. Then hold things up to yourself and pay attention to what you see. Pay attention to what you want. Do you want the first thing that people say to be YOU or the clothing? When you look at yourself, do you see the clothing first or do you see YOU first. Look at the scale of the print if it's not a solid. Look at the texture whether it's rough or fine or somewhere in between and ask yourself what you like and what you don't like on YOU. Do the same for stripes, plaids, sequins, beads, leather, and all levels of outfits so far as formality is concerned. Do you look better in formal or less formal clothing? There's no need for us to be helpless and let the market decide what we were. We can learn to be selective, we can learn how to eliminate 99% of the things in the store at a glance once we know what we like and what achieves The effect that we want to display.
I’m a yoga therapist and have been developing a concept I call ‘yoments’ lol. So basically it means sneaking in some self care (exercise, including, but not limited to actual yoga; taking a bath, reading a book, doing a facial or self massage, deep breathing, meditating, etc.) the idea is that although it would be fantastic to have two hours of candle lit, uninterrupted quiet, we can often access these little moments, which as you pointed out can totally add up….
I really enjoy that you record your videos all over your house! It's much more dynamic to watch, and you come across as "real" instead of just another talking head. 😊
“Don’t be prefect” thats something I think ALOT of us need to focus on a little more. Everything doesn’t have to work out perfectly
No professional manicures/pedicures have saved me TONS of money and time. Love your ideas!
I have a monthly pedicure, because I can neither reach easily, nor see what I’m doing. It’s one of the highlights of my months.
@@trishmurphy1941- My limited range of motion has resulted in the same thing. Which is really sad because I used to be able to put my foot on my head without any trouble whatsoever! It's the old "use it or lose it" phenomenon.😢 i'm working to bring that back. And doing the best I can for my feet in the meantime. I never had toenail fungus until I went for my first pedicure, either! I think you have to have something internally wrong to get the fungus, but I think what they did helped it Manifest more in my toenails. Yuck.
Things I have stopped doing for two years: TV ( have watchTV in over 5 years)…. Walk my dog daily or twice daily… never look at my during work… never watch Instagram…use an alarm clock…never eat out or fast food… I cook and eat at home…I read books from library. I am decluttering but it’s not a big deal because I’ve never had a lot of stuff. I’ve decluttered my weekend by washing my work clothes Thursday night… fill my gas tank on Friday morning and grocery shop on Friday night… cook and meal plan on Sunday. I’m always on time to work well fed and we’ll rested.
Your daughter is adorable! I have a list on my phone for each family member. Whenever I think of or see something that I think will be a good gift for a specific person, I put it on their list. This way I don’t find myself scrambling for ideas when a gift giving occasion arises. Thanks for the good tips. Also, I totally agree about coloring my hair! 😂
Don't worry about your hair. Your hair is fantastic and looks great.
I had to get my Amazon spending under control. Now I put things I THINK I need in the cart and select SAVE FOR LATER. I review it and decide whether it is actually needed, or if I realize it was not imperative. I probably delete about 80% of the stuff I think we might need. We don't need so much stuff. We got rid of one of our cars, and are so glad we did!
Been doing that for years with Amazon as a way to save money & watch for better versions/ deals
I'm a big believer in "save for later" on Amazon. I think I have thousands of things saved for later, and it's fun to go back and look at them!😂😂😂😂
@@WarriorOfEden3033- These days there's a huge price difference between what you can spend at Amazon and what you might spend locally. It takes a little more research and it's really annoying when local branches of chains don't put the information you need right on the website.
you are fortunate that you were able to get rid of one of your cars, but having only one car has really screwed over a family member when her husband's business required him to start using the car… It messed up her ability to work at home because sometimes she needs to run out and get a specific color product for a client at the last minute. Now she can't count on doing that. Not good. One client can easily pay for One or two months worth of car payment.
@@bitrudder3792 Yes, it totally depends on your situation. Uber and Lyft are also a possibility in my area, so if we truly NEED to get somewhere inconvenient to transit, we can. I know that’s not true for everyone.
Okay so I love the all black idea❤ it matches my mood, it’s slimming, who would notice if I wore the same pants twice?!?!? I moved to a more economical state-Central Arkansas- 18 hours away from my family to be able to work part-time or not at all or to have a hobby that I enjoy so that I can heal, have peace within myself and to find my creative outlet. I live a simple and basic life and I love it. Thank you for the tips. 😊
I am listening to this on an airpod while walking. Definitely a time saver.
Absolutely love your videos! You’re wise, authentic and humorous! I tried going gray during the pandemic…then went back to dying my hair. I tried it a second time and stayed grey for several months. And now I’m dying it again. It was good to hear a guy saying this. One of the reasons I keep going back is the way people treat me when I have grey hair. A hairdresser said, “well my older ladies like you…” or a waitress who said when my family and I went to a restaurant “should we get a booth for your mother?” But you’re giving me courage to just let that be their problem rather than making it mine. Thanks!
Unfortunately gray hair on men and gray hair on women elicit two entirely different responses from the public. 😒
I think a lot of the problem is about the fact that we think looking old or even being old is bad (but, as someone said, getting old is better than the alternative, which is dying young). And, in the case of women, in a lot of societies, it is seen as "letting yourself go" if you don't dye your hair to hide that it's gray or white. I'm a graying woman myself and I like it. I think it looks nice on me and I don't mind that it "shows my age". It's my age and I've acquired it legitimately 😁. I understand you may feel uncomfortable and I'm sorry. But maybe you can just go out and rock that gray hair. 🤗🤗🤗
Please don't give up following the news. That's like choosing ignorance. Take a look at America. Ignorant people are following Trump, threatening America with a dictatorship. That is a very serious problem.
@@suzanabrailescu4319 'it's my age and I've acquired it legitimately'. Love that. 😁😁🫶
I just wear a hat everywhere: I live in Canada, where its cold half the year. So, half the year, if I leave the house, I wear a toque, and the other half, I wear a baseball cap. Then you literally never have to do anything with your hair and you get a ton of time back.
Intermittent fasting and being on a Paleo/Keto diet has greatly improved my health, energy, mood and focus. I don’t wear jewellery, I don’t color my hair and I rarely wear makeup. I have a spring/summer uniform and a autumn/winter uniform. It makes everything easier because I only need one pair of shoes/sandals and one handbag.
I got a spring wardrobe cargo pants and flower shirts but yet to pick a winter any tips as I go to office twice a week
@@TheLotusrising- what kind of office do you work at? And what is your color palette? it seems as though there's so much latitude and freedom these days and what people wear to work. I would say just respect your body type, accommodate it gracefully, choose colors that you love and that look good on you, and lean into whatever the prevailing "appropriate" standard is for your field - With comfort being an important factor. That's just how I see it.
I'll comment on your wake up 5 min early comment. At one point I started waking up 1hr earlier and it made a huge psychological difference. Before I woke up and everything was in preparation for me to go work for someone else. When I woke up earlier I was able to do "me" things which turned waking up into getting up to enjoy my life and no waking up to go do things for someone else.
Before I retired, I got up an hour before the hubs and our daughter. I got 90% ready to walk out the door, then I could enjoy some quiet time or catch up a little [quiet] housework or anything else I wanted to do before it was time to tend to my family’s needs.
Turning off email notification has been a game changer for me. So much less anxiety about reading them and responding right away. Now I just check once every other day or so and respond right after I read.
For sure! It literally changes your day if you're getting 50 notifications
I’m owning a restaurant and bnb business and sometimes I really receive a lot of emails, which I have to respond quickly, otherwise the potential guests might go to someone else. But I also turned off my notifications and started to have a routine to check the mailbox every day at certain times. This works wonderfully for me.
I checked morning, afternoon, and evening. That's only because sometimes I get emails that are time intensive. Usually, they get deleted right away.
"I should have made some order to this list, but in my defense, I didn't." LOL!
"don't watch the next show" LOVE THIS. I have this thing where when people say "you HAVE to watch ______," I immediately want to NOT watch it. I love not being attached to watching a show. so liberating.
About hair coloring. God gave me beautiful chestnut brown hair with honey gold highlights. As I age, I'm going to trust his paintbrush--that he will give me new silvery colors that will amaze and astound me with their variety and beauty. ❤️
There are three utubers that I can think of that I watched right from beginning of their careers.. and now they are well over million some 4 million. And u r one of my favorite.. so relatable and super easy listening to you. It will be fun watching you to continue to grow your channel. 😊
About the go to meals, we do this thing on weekends where we meal prep while we're already making lunch and dinner. Making more of it doesn't take up that much more time, and we strive to make it simple. Like things you can just mix up and cook in the oven, and while you get lots of food and it's in the oven you have time to do other stuff, like spending quality time or catching up with some cleaning or laundry or whatever you need or want to do. And at the end of that weekend we have the food for all week ready to bring to work, to heat up during the week so we don't need to spend lots of time with cooking, doing dishes, cleaning up etc during the weekdays, when there is very limited amounts of time and we actually want to be able to get some quality time to hangout together. Just making a larger batch of a couple meals that you make on the weekend will get you a couple of different ones to choose from so you don't end up with one single meal that you get tired of after 2 days.
@13:01 true, and it improves you mentally/emotionally/physically, not just financially!
Love these longer style videos! 😍 Your delivery and presentation is always clear, concise and entertaining to watch. You're definitely one of my favourite KZheadrs and I always look forward to your uploads 😊
"Im just not that important" .. haha.. Love it!! But I will say, to all of those moms out there.. I reset the house 1-2 times / week, and that has made my everyday life so much LESS stressful instead of everytime I see a thing on the floor, table or whatever - that do not belong there - I have to put it away.. because litterally I found out, my whole day was used for this haha.. (when you have kids it takes 1 minute, then that thing is out of place again)
Each time I watch your videos intet to do something you mention as I listen and watch. Thank you for the positive content
Consistency is best 🙏🏻
All my socks are black, all the same style. My friends laugh at me but my laundry takes a fraction of the time to put away.
and identical. If I lost one, I still have some pairs for :)
Black goes with everything. I have 5 outfits all the same gray T shirt, black cargo pants. Laundry day is pajama day & I have 1 expensive outfit for fun events because I’m Goth 😂
I have long defaulted to black scrub pants, black socks and black sneakers and a coordinated top for clinical situations. And my go to uniform for most of the year in southeast Texas borders on resortwear. White pants and Different kinds of tunic tops and sandals. I found some organic 100% linen on sale and purchased it. Gleefully anticipating comfy pants and tops out of this stuff! There's nothing like a simple linen pant on a hot day! My secret to not ironing it? An Italian told me that he just hangs up his linen things after it's washed with a weight at the bottom to make it smooth. Now I do that with a lot of my clothes that would otherwise want a touch of the iron, or it would want me to get it out of the dryer right away😅. I don't need to iron more than once a year.
I am surprised at how many of your suggestions I already do. Of course I am over 60 so I had plenty of time to figure them out. The big ones are give yourself plenty of time to get ready and get to your appointments, stay out of unnecessary debt, invest, clean as you go, and take time for yourself.
Fantastic quick fixes! I use an alarm clock now - NOT the phone. Turn off notifications, yes. Reduced the data on my phone, cause I pay for wifi at home. Result: save money, less distraction, more quality time.💚
I put my alarm clock on the other side of the room, so I have to get up to turn it off
The hair dye one…yes! I’m a woman and I quit that 8 years ago and have never looked back. I always had dark blonde hair and it grew in this beautiful platinum blonde color. Give nature a chance and save tons of $$.
Gabe, been watching your channel off and on for years now. Keep up the great work. Blessings from Toronto ❤
My hair has been completely white since I was 30 years old. I am now 61. It is very long past my waist actually and everywhere I go. Someone says to me. Oh my goodness. I love your hair. It is so beautiful. I agree with you totally do not color your hair.🙏❤️
I too had white hair, nor gray, by 30. It seems to be an hereditary trait. People ask.. "Who's your hairdresser"? I Reply .. God. Saves so much time and money. 😊
@@faithrada yesss❤️🙏God
I also agree with buying similar clothes that are easy to match but not everyone wants to wear black. I choose to wear a uniform at work to reduce decisions...sometimes scrubs and sometimes a polo shirt..it definitely helps reduce stress of constantly having to figure out clothes.
Kinda crazy I do almost all of these already. Something I got from it - if someone's in a difficult life situation/dealing with mental health, most "improvements" won't feel like they make life better at all because these people are on a downwards slope where all good change does is slow down the descent. It's a long journey for them to start feeling like they're ever going up because they have to stop an avalanche from falling on them first. So all these habits do help but people don't always feel like they do! I'd like everyone to be aware of that if they're feeling discouraged like "I did this, it didn't work for me, nothing works, I always try but there's something wrong with me".
This applies to any stage of our lives, but I am definitely sharing this with the young adults in my life. Thank you.
I loved growing my gray hair out. Beautiful, opened doors, and prepared me mentally for the steps ahead.
I'm smiling because I will be 75 and I already do all these things, and I'm happier than anyone I know! Hope others take your advice. Thanks for great tips! Tina from brooklyn
While I do a lot of these, some I had not considered before...always appreciate the tips! One of my favorite things is to get everything ready for the next day the night before. Lunch is made, coffee pot is ready and programmed for the next morning, clothes laid out, etc. I don't want to think when I'm groggy! Nice to start the day with peace of mind before getting out into the rest of the world. Appreciate you, Gabe!
Thanks Gabe! I was feeling kind of snacky, and you reminded me to make it a healthy snack. I just grabbed a bag of carrot sticks I prepped up yesterday. Crisp & cool!
Wonderful video! One thing I love doing is habit stacking, taking some of the great things you mentioned and putting them together: like going for a walk while listening to a podcast or book. I’m getting sunlight, grounding (if I’m wearing my earthing shoes or barefoot), learning and exercising at the same time. Win win win win!
I love habit stacking! Great tip
Gabe, your video & tips were all very good! Reinforced, has motivated me more to do some of these things more consistently that I’ve done from time to time. Great reminder! Your daughter is Beautiful!!! Much happiness & joy!
Nice to see I’ve been doing some of this stuff already!! Ready to add more of these too!! Thank you!!
This is the best video I’ve seen on tiny habits. I’ve been on this journey for a minute and this is definitely the best accumulation of great tips I’ve learned from watching videos, reading etc. plus a lot more I haven’t heard. loved this so muchhh.
2:02 I love these tips! Always grocery shop on a full stomach. It is amazing how much easier it is to control that sweet tooth. Make it a family involved task. Immediately prep snacks & meal ingredients when you return home with your goods. Again, if you see the fresh already cut veggies or fruit or homemade trail mix, it will inspire you to make better food choices. I have 3 growing boys, and each one knows how to cook, prep, shop. We also started making double meals on our favorite dishes. We plate our dinner when ready and store the duplicate left overs. (Life changing, yet so simple). Dinner time is at a table for us, and we laugh more than we do anything else. Even on the rough nights, it is the only time we have together as a family so we make a party.
I love that you have dinner at the table. That is a game changer.
I agree. Jennifer, more people should be having dinner together as a family! You rock!❤ I have not eaten out at fast food for a very long time. I don't even go to restaurants much anymore. My diet has simplified tremendously, which I love.
That it the best take on decluttering ever!!!!
I posted this video in my grief group on Wellness day! Helps life in small ways! ❤
This video absolutely made me realize a lot of things! Thank you and have a good one!
These are great ideas. Thanks. I love that you acknowledge needing to replace an undesirable habit with something positive; you can't just leave a void. My friends don't understand this when they get on me for smoking. Great video!
same about smoking.but its so hard
Great advice with an interesting, concise and fun delivery. Thanks❣️
Once again, thank you for having your video segmented. Of course. I watch the whole thing through the first time while sipping my morning java. But then, later I will return to your post for a particular idea... at which time I click on your timeline for that post. Kindest regards, Sandy from 🇨🇦 Canada
Glad you enjoyed it!
one habit i started doing was taking shits wherever and whenever vs holding it in, it literally changed my whole life
Hello, I think this is great (11:37 your own plank ) - something I want to put on my refrigerator to remember: "Before you tell other people what to do, improve your own stuff." Thanks!
Ever since I started self improving I’ve noticed I’ve picked up on some of these habits. This was a great helpful video for the future. Subscribed.
"Clean as you go" is my habit, that I been doing for some while. It's probably the best one imo. Just return everthing where it belongs and how it should be right after you you'r done. My house has since been always clean
I've recently found your channel. I'm loving your content. Thanks for the tips.
Stumbled upon your channel by accident. Wow. I'm impressed! This is really really good!! "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good." Excellent!
Can you possibly link a document containing all 50 habits? This list is amazing!!! Thank you!
So much wisdom. Thank you Gabe.
Great video! Thank you! I'm definitely gonna change some habits. I also really liked your online class. Thanks so much!
I love this video, so many helpful tips and all so true. The writing ideas down. I get all my ideas when i am laying in bed ready to go to sleep, then I have to turn my phone on to write the ideas down.
I love this! I needed to hear your video today. I was definitely feeling stuck and this has given me the motivation to get moving. 🙏
Happy weekend my friend. Thank you for another great video 🌟
Thanks happy weekend!
Hey Gabe! Fellow New Hampshirite here! Love all of this and you videos have been super helpful for me. I have about five focus modes on my iPhone for different situations (Work, Creative, Driving, etc), and it has all been super helpful!
Hello! NH! I like it!
I do a bunch of these habits, partly from watching similar videos and it really does help. I'm still learning a lot about myself so that I can practice habits that take care of me. Watching a bunch of these sorts of videos and working on how to live on purpose has helped me eliminate some needs to do these habits in the first place. Not every habit will suit everyone but there are always other habits you can gel with.
Thank you very much! I have actually tried to integrate some of these tips into my life before. However, I noticed that at some point I lost focus again and all these habits crept back into my life. Your video has now shown me again what I need to pay attention to. Thank you very much for that!
Thanks for another great and useful video! I look forward to trying some of these out!
I hope they help!
Yes to the picking out of the clothes the night before! I do this all the time and I like it too. Also I like the perfectionism point, I'm guilty of this too but I've found if I just do something, and I'm also acknowledging like hey this isn't perfect, but it's something---it at least gets you going! I still have to work on that though.
LOVE THIS VIDEO. THANKS Gabe!
This is great thank you Gabe! ☺️🙏🏼
I love your wisdom and your style of sharing it. Thank you!! Sending this to my kids....
1.Guilty on social media 😅 (especially I join a lot of giveaway 😅- its like a work for me😢) 2. Love the clean as you go. We practice this too when we go eat outside 3. Go to meal since I'm a lAzy cook😅 4. Remind my Goals😅 honestly I don't think I have a goal 🥺just to be healthy and happy 5.need to me mindful of my crap 🥺🥺 Thank you for this 💖💖🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for the reminder. I've been meaning to read 1984. Time to look for the audio book.
loved your video! im trying to incorporate new habits and experiences in my life after a major breakup. i think improving my life will make me feel better 😊
Perfect video! Helps so much, thanks 🎉
One thing I have done is cancel my TV subscription. I was paying close to $90 a month to get exactly what I wanted. I was freaking out thinking I would hate it, but I have found it to not be that big of a deal. I feel much less stress, and I'm not as negative about my life as I used to be. I also realized that I could get about 2 1/2 months worth of education online for the price of 1 month of my TV subscription.
I think you covered it well. My biggest issue right now is blocking time for my business and balance time for downtime.
That can definitely be a struggle a lot of times something has to go
Any suggestions?
Very good video Video. Just good quality, real life, quick tips. Pretty authentic as well. Love it. Thanks man! I'll watch it again.
This was my first view of Gabes channel, absolutely loved it. Love the cool, honest yet funny and so so true useful tips. I just hit the subscribe button. I have thought many times about the hair colour saga.. that's a tough one!
Just found your channel. Watched as I got ready for work. Thanks! I’ll be back for more :)
I sweeped and mopped the floors in our entire home while listening to this video in my headphones. Sometimes multitasking is a really good thing and sometimes it´s the opposite. It´s so important for lowering stress and both the quality and the quantity of what one are doing to know when it´s good or bad. One habit that I think is very important is to regulary schedule time for one self. I am at 52yo still struggeling with this one. I say that want time for recreation, time for workout/walking/yoga/things going on inside my head and time for going to exibitions, lectures aso but I tend to always put those important things last. In another video you talk about working/being occupied all the time and not prioritize friends and friendship, I have the same problem. I am also self-employed tho without the passive income element, Iam a picker and antiques dealer with my own web shop. Many of my old friends are "in a different time of life" (kids, jobwise aso) and I haven´t really figured out how to make new ones. I have a few tho we don´t hang out or even speak to eachother nearly as much as I would like. I really need to get better on that, because it´s mostly my fault. ps. Black clothes are relly a good choice, I have been doing that since pre-teen, comfy and black, I don´t care what others think about it.
Great clip, thank you! I totally agree with most or all of your habbits! Regards from Switzerland
Getting up as soon as your alarm goes off is the best thing someone can do who feels tired all day. Never go back to sleep. These tips are all so great! Definitely subscribed.
I subscribed to you and watched your videos one by one through the last three days after I stumbled across this one. You are the turning point for my search for how to get out of debt and acquire freedom.
Some great advice as always.
