So glad I found your video, it was full of good advice. Saying a Prayer for you that you will get more better energy days - sorry I don’t know your name so will just call you Sweet Lady! Love from Sussex, UK
Hi June! My name is Rozanne (said, like Rose Ann). I'm so glad you're here. I'm always excited to see subscribers from the UK because (almost) my entire family came from there. It's my dream to visit someday. I appreciate your prayers!
❤❤❤
Thanks!
I’m so glad your video came to my recommendations. You totally get it. Subscribed! Tysm for the helpful tips and understanding.
So glad you’re here! I’m happy to hear that the video was helpful. 😀
Thank you for this. I really needed this. I have alot of health issues and I feel guilty when I don’t feel like getting up and doing things. Thank you I appreciate your advice.
You are so welcome! I’m glad it helped. 😀
I went back to this older video after skipping ahead to 2 current ones and it took me a minute to figure out why the TV thing wasn't black anymore. Looks like the other piece of furniture is painted also, the one at the stairs. I guess I need to go back to the Christmas ones and watch!!! ( I stopped after the Fall decor.) I was saving them for November. Trying to watch in order but I sometimes skip ahead. I appreciate you sharing your journey. I am tired and unmotivated and suspect it's these darn bioidentical hormones I have been taking. Not sure but I'm trying to move forward.
Yep, I painted the TV stand, the credenza, and the little dresser in the living room. It all started because the cat had ruined the checked chairs and the rugs. She just shredded them. Then the changes just rolled around. It became too beige for me and last year, I got the new colorful rugs and wallpapered the one wall in the family room (and got some shelves) and finally feel settled. Oh - and I finally got some drapes. It feels relieving to have color in the room again. I take bio-identical hormones too. Could they have given you the wrong amounts?
@@TowardsASimpleLife I just had labs today so we'll see if it's too much. They seem to affect my mood.
Great content - helpful info. ❤
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for being here. 😀
What an incredible, powerful message! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I'm so happy it resonated with you!
I'm in my 40's between working full time and having a spouse with mental illness, I'm too exhausted to clean. I do the best I can to keep my house clean. There are many days where I feel burnt out but I keep going and clean and do other things that I need to do.
Thank you for sharing your story! It takes a lot of strength to keep pushing through tough times, and your resilience is inspiring to others who may be in similar situations. I appreciate your willingness to share with us.
Foods dont stick to plastic dishes, a small container with water at sink for silverware & a grabber in each room to help with picking up: those 3 things help tremendously
Great tips!
You my friend are a divine gift. Yes I relate to everything. Thank you and more -- as you can
Wow, thank you. That's so kind of you. I appreciate you!
So glad your video showed up. Thanks for your advise and thoughts....I will subscribe and follow your channel. 😀
I'm so glad you're here! Thanks for saying hi. :-)
Great and insightful video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such great explanations of manageable and practical tips. I’ve been struggling with my energy and levels of fatigue. Thank you for sharing some of the ways that you manage your struggles.
You're so welcome! I'm really glad you found the tips helpful.
Iv been doing coloured dots on my electrical items for years like my drill has a green dot on it and it matches the plug it goes to cordless😊
That is a great system. I should do this.
Rozanne, I try to get up early in the morning and start my day. I try to get all of my housework done in the am and the afternoons are my time to rest, and do what I want too. I actually feel like I can accomplish more in the morning than wait to do it later in the day. I hope you have a great day and take care.
I'm a morning girl too. It doesn't help my longing to make dinner though... I need to plan ahead better, I guess. But morning is always my best chance. See you!
If people struggle to say something kind about themselves, there is probably some shame there to process. The shame is telling them they are lazy, but that thought/self judgement doesn’t motivate action. Shame is a shutdown emotion, it immobilises us. Telling ourselves we are lazy when we want movement is counter productive and makes us tired so we can remain shutdown. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
You're absolutely right! It's essential to break that cycle of shame and self-judgment. Recognizing our worth is so important!
I just love you! You are so helpful!
Thank you so much. That's such a nice thing to hear. :-)
Hello lovely lady I have just come across your video for the first time and you have no idea how much you have helped me. I am 73 I have just been diagnosed with polymyelgia Rheumatica and Rheumatoid Arthritis. For the last few months I wake up distraught worrying how I am going to clean the house, like you I can do 15mins then I’m exhausted and start dripping with perspiration. I have to lie down and rest for at least an hour then I can repeat! I am in the middle of a medical crisis state at the moment so I am extremely tired. I want to get a cleaner in to give a thorough clean once a month but my husband is dead against it! You have helped me immensely just by advising to keep cleaning stuff in each room and also the basket idea. I can’t wait to catch up with all your videos. I can’t live like this any more I really am ashamed. X
Oh - please don’t feel ashamed! You are going through something real and it’s going to take some time to adjust. You kind of have to lose the memory of what you were before and to accept your new reality. Then it will be easier for you to begin looking for easy wins and to practice gratitude for small things. We’re not used to doing that. I wish your husband would allow the monthly house cleaning! I’m glad to hear that the video encouraged you. I’m glad you’re here!
❤❤❤ Sending you gentle hugs!
Is your husband averse to doing any of the work?
@@quietlife7186 ❤️thank you sending hug back to you X
@@pamelalyon3264 This is the problem my husband does all the laundry and cooking so I can’t ask him to take on anything more. He doesn’t see the untidiness the dust not to mention the build up of clutter. He has said he will do it but that’s it!! I know I’m being pathetic but I have always kept a tidy and organised house. I have faith so I know it will all work out. Thank you for your interest. X
I have often wondered if I have sleep apnea. I have thought about getting a sleep study. I appreciate how open and honest you are on your channel. It is very refreshing. I am going to go back to the older videos this coming week when I have some alone time to watch the Christmas decor videos from maybe 2 years ago. I like to be alone so I don't get interrupted. I hate to miss something when it comes to decorating. I skipped ahead and watched some more recent ones and enjoyed those too. I am having the best time watching!!! You are fun to watch and you have some good advice.
It’s so much easier to get a sleep study now, because you can do it at home. If you think you have sleep apnea, you should check it out because it affects everything. I’m having a great time watching you watch my videos. 😀
I am a big fan of telescoping handles on helpful tools! This reminded me that I may have lost an extension section for A little portable canister vacuum that can really get into the crevices/corners between carpet and baseboard, especially the corners. I’ve been bending over for years to do this, and have been shoving it to the back burner for awhile…Think I’ll do a quick search online, and maybe call my vacuum guys who are so helpful.
That’s a good idea. Those extensions can really help.
I loved this video! I am 70 and I struggle with fatigue. I always say I do things 3 different ways: I do things tired, I do things in tears or I do things in pain. At least I can do a little everyday to maintain a clean home. I can't work like I used to, but I'm thankful for what I CAN do. Thank you for the encouragement!
Hi Wanda! I’m so glad it helped! 😀
I’ve got a lot on my plate, including a lot of exposure to extremely high heat and emotional exhaustion right now. Just completely wrung out. I moved the Dawn power wash spray out of its basket under the sink and right where I could grab it easily if I just opened the right hand base cabinet door to grab it. I just don’t wanna look at it on my counter all the time when I only need it for certain things, Cutting the effort 50% to grab it is helpful. The little things help. Doing the basics of keeping the laundry & kitchen moving forward, between trips to the medical center and naps. The time spent driving in my car without AC drains energy faster than just about anything. More than hours and hours in hospital waiting rooms.
Heat gets me too. It’s so draining. I agree that if you can cut down on the effort to do things, even by a little bit, it helps. Take care!
Really good ideas, as usual
Thanks Connie. Funny - I was just thinking about you today for some reason. So glad to see you. 😀
Great video! Sorry you are in a flare. I pray you come out of it quickly. I do the same thing to my all glass shower enclosure. Working smarter not harder. Thanks for continuing to share. XO
Thanks Lesa!!!
Forget cleaning and use the energy to enjoy living!
Absolutely!!
As a school teacher, I feel like I live my life in a seesaw of yellow and red The last couple of years I've been feeling so burned out, bursting into tears for no apparent reason. I have had many sick days, but I won't go and see my doctor. Since Friday I think I'm now in purple. Haven't showered now for days. I've now decided that on Monday I'm going to see my doctor.
Oh my goodness… yes. I think you should see your doctor. I was a school teacher and it did get tiring, but not to the level you are talking about. I hope you can get some answers!
Great tips, even for us who are just older and tired of cleaning. When my mom got older, she kept a chair in the laundry room and sat to fold warm clothes as she emptied the dryer.,one less step. This was before cell phones and ipads, so today I’d do that while catching up on youtube videos, a book on tape or music. PS: I adore that wall color! Fantastic choice. EDIT: I try to declutter as much as I can. Less to dust, wipe down, keep track of in the laundry stage. It may only be a small box or bag every few weeks but it adds up. It’s not pretty, but I often keep a box in my main traffic pattern so it reminds me to fill it. 😉
I wish I would have thought of the chair in the laundry room for my elderly mother when she was still alive. Great solution. (I love the wall color too!)
This is how I roll: After every shower the tiles and floor are wiped down with a very thick micro cloth for cars. After almost 5 years the shower looks brand new. *Toilet:* no one uses the toilet without cleaning it with a mixture of white vinegar and rose essential oil - which is in a spray bottle on the floor beside the toilet. The toilet seat is sprayed after use. *Floors:* No one wears shoes in our home. Only socks, slippers or bare feet. In that way, floor mopping is down to a minimum. I don't dust, but I vacuum, because I'm very allergic to dust. No food or drinks in the bedrooms upstairs. Yes, baskets where any clutter naturally collect.
Wow, you really have it figured it out. Good for you!
@@TowardsASimpleLife As a busy and burnt out school teacher, I have to roll in this fashion in order to keep my life from falling apart 😓
@TheAllisonLab hopefully, things will get better for you in the future. 🙏
I'm so thankful I found you on you tube
I’ll thankful you’re here!
This is so helpful! I'm 73, a diabetic with low iron. I don't sleep well and beat myself up for not doing more. But these helpful ideas really work. Prioritize my duties. Keep things in a convient locations.
I’m so glad to hear the ideas are helping you!
Great video! First ... I'd like to lovingly caution you about the bathroom (or any) chemicals... especially what your bare feet are exposed to (the cleaners in your shower). These chemicals can cause all sorts of health problems. Please consider either switching to less-toxic cleaners, or try to use a water and vinegar mixture. That can't be used on some surfaces - like marble - but it's great for most. I use an equal parts water and white vinegar spray for pretty much EVERYTHING in my home. For the toilet - I just dump straight vinegar in since there's already water in it. For scrubbing I use baking soda or Bon Ami from the health food store. That's it. Not only is it much safer and healthier for everyone, but it's also super cheap. Sitting down when doing certain things was so difficult for me to incorporate... and I still really struggle to remember at times. It certainly helps! And I LOVE my robot vacuum. I've had it for 2 full years now and wonder why I didn't get one sooner. It "mops" too, but it leaves streaks. I'll have to check in to the steam mop... I heard they might cause warping in laminate flooring, but you use yours on laminate flooring and all seems fine, right?? I'll do more research. It's been about 15 years since I've looked into it, and the technology has probably really improved! Blessings, Joanne in SW MO
I’d heard that about steam mops too, but I was desperate. What I do is put it on the lowest setting and then keep it moving. I never set it down in one place when I am moving furniture etc. around. If I have to put it down, I’m find a different surface. (Although you can turn it off, which shuts off the steam, so you could do that instead.) It stands up on its own very well. After using it a few times, I realized that it actually puts very little water on the floor and I think moping was worse - a lot more water. It has been one of my best purchases. I use the high setting on the tile in my kitchen. Maybe if you had extremely thin, cheap laminate you could potentially run into problems - especially if you let it sit in one place, but even then, maybe not if you do what I do. There so little water and it dries extremely fast. Just use the lowest setting. I couldn’t vouch for a different brand, because I don’t know how they work. A tip: I bought a ton of extra pads and I’ve been glad. It cleans so well that you need to change them often. You’ll clean them in the washer and dryer. You can tell when it’s time to change them because you’ll start to smell something weird. It’s all the dirt. Putting a new pad on resolves that. You never use anything but water in it - no cleaning solutions or vinegar as they can damage the works and you’ll loose the warranty. But plain water works great because it’s the steam that cleans. Hope that helps!
I follow Dana K. White. I have Chiari 2 and know tiredness too.
Dana is so good. Love her!
What help me the most with decluttering my wardrobe 2 days ago was the sentences from the book you recommended by Greg McKeown - Essentiallism: Do you love this item? How much would you be willing to pay for this item if you didn’t have it? Also giving them points 9/10 helped me to make the right decisions. Suddenly I was able to get rid of clothes which are too small or given to me by other people. Thank you for your videos ❤
I love this. Using these questions can be so helpful. I need to carry a card in my pocket all the time. It’s a good way to make decisions. Thanks for the reminder!
Hi very useful video. I have fibromyalgia and u am strughling. Please keep doing videos like this. Take care.❤ Ftom uk.
Thank you, I will. I’m always looking for ideas that can help us all. So many of us are on the same type of journey. I hope you have a good weekend!
“When you only have 10%, and you give 10%, you are really giving 100%”. Thank you. This made me cry. I feel understood, and brave enough to keep going a bit longer. It reminds me of the widow who gave her last penny…
It reminded me of the widow also.
Oh - great analogy. Yes, it does feel like the widow and the note. You are brave!
Today: after midnite hour: I’m exhausted. Mentally. Emotionally. I did my kitchen reset. The pets are reset fresh ice- water n fresh food in a clean feeding bowl. Counters are cleaned n cleared.

That's wonderful! Congrats!
P.S. did you know farmers use to supplement the soil with magnesium, and many no longer do because of financial constraints.?
That’s so weird. I hadn’t heard that one before! Maybe my grandpa knew about it. He was a farmer.
@@TowardsASimpleLife i heard it on a organic farm on pbs program.
@lisaann6267 I love PBS documentaries. I bet it was good.
@@TowardsASimpleLife also on youtube, Dr. Ken berry did an article on fibro. he said some drs. are not up to date on this. maybe it will help. hes really good.
well, i use to have pain, but now that i take 420 mg of triple complex magnesium. it relaxes and heals your muscles so you sleep better.and i dont get muscle cramps. i take 1 after dinner.
I keep meaning to check more into this. I actually bought the magnesium but then I read that it can cause problems with certain types of high blood pressure medications because your blood pressure could go too low. But it is only one type of medication that can cause problems. I need to figure out if the type I take will work out okay. Fibro isn’t really muscles cramping. You may feel achy in that way, but it is a brain problem where your brain thinks something is happening but it’s not actually happening. I had a Fibro doctor that is a well-known researcher. He explained it to me but I can’t remember all of the details. I’m on an anti-seizure medication for that reason. (I don’t have seizures.) It’s supposed to help the brain communicate better. That’s why Tylenol or Ibuprofen won’t work for Fibro pain. Fibro is such a strange thing. I was actually doing pretty good with my Fibro until I got Covid (and Long Covid). That changed absolutely everything. It kind of turned my world upside down.
So glad it works for you!
Hi I'm very new to your channel I have fibromyalgia too and all over arthritis and other chronic and non chronic problems
Welcome! Sorry that you’re going through this too. So glad to meet you!
Can anyone please tell me how to get rid of fleas inside my house naturally Thank you
Sorry. That is not something I have experience with. Hope you figure it out. That has to be hard.
I use a bit of dawn dish soap water placed in flat containers , with a small floor lamp in the middle and turn it on at night then clean up in morning , takes awhile but it will catch and drown them all. Careful with your cats by placing them in room that's not being treated. Takes about a month and is a bit of work but I've completely eliminated this way. It's my go to when nothing else is working and it's cheap. The soap sticks to them so they can't jump back out of the water and they drown. I try to fit four or five containers around the lamp. Good luck.
I have fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and chronic fatigue. Yes, it is very difficult to get things done.
So sorry to hear you have it too! Thanks for saying hi. 👋
Lots of wonderful ideas! I already do some of them, but you gave me new ones to try. Most people can't comprehend the level of fatigue that you are talking about, but I do. I have different health issues than you do, and they also produce debilitating fatigue. Thank you for the helpful tips, and I pray that you have more good days than bad ones.
Thanks Kim. I hope you have more good days too. But yeah… this is something you have to feel to know what it is. Fatigue is really something.

I’m so happy that you enjoyed it. I truly appreciated that you told me so. It’s very encouraging to hear.
"When you only have 10% and you give 10% you've actually given 100%" Wow...eye opening perspective. Thsnk you. This will go far with self acceptance .
You’re welcome. I have to remind myself of this on a regular basis. ☺️
Sometimes, I have things or processes that are not eco-friendly, but they help me conserve energy. I can only work 3-4 hours a day. I'm 80, and that might be part of it, but I also have heart problems and that and the medicines I take give me fatigue. Thanks for your video.
You are so welcome! Conserving your energy is the right way to go. Take care of yourself. ❤️
I so agree. Even if we use disposable plates a few times a week, or one week on and one week off, it does help save our energy.
I check my internal dialogue to make sure I cease self criticism. Then I eat a snack and lay down for a nap. Lastly when my doctor tried to diagnose me with fibromyalgia it turned out to be artificial sweetener. Then I gently consumed less and less artificial sweetener until all physical pain was gone. I say give yourself permission to nap and rest as needed.
I’m so glad to hear that it turned out not to be Fibro for you. What a blessing! 😀
Have you heard of the fly lady system? It sounds similar to what you do. Diane in Denmark here on CZcams explains it so beautifully.
I have heard of her, but haven’t really investigated it much. I have seen Diane’s videos pop up in my feed now and again. She seems nice.
@@TowardsASimpleLife thé flylady app is great and free to use with no annoying pop up ads. She’s all about using kitchen timers and breaking things down into small tasks throughout the day. I will often rotate through my day 15 minutes at a time. 15 minutes on my home business, 15 minutes housework and then I get to relax for 15 minutes (usually spent reading a novel haha). Amazing how much you can get done in those little chunks (even going at low energy snail pace like I do 😆). Thank you for all the great tips !
It is amazing how quickly you can get things done. Putting a timer on it is very eye opening!
