High 5 Habit: amzn.to/3fMvfPQ
The 5 Second Rule: amzn.to/3372Rl9
I don’t think it’s about doing nothing but about taking the time to do the things you enjoy vs. the things you feel you have to do. If I go for a walk in nature or knit or do watercolor it’s still doing something, but it’s something that relieves stress rather than increasing it and gives me joy.
It takes 21 days to make or break a habit...Sunday has always been my day of the week and I used to do nothing. When my adult daughter who is single moved home for a year because of a health issue, I told her that on Sundays, it is the day of rest and we do nothing. We both stay in our bedrooms and watch movies or nap. Then we meet in the living room for dinner and a movie.
That's so awesome ❤❤
Being present is the greatest 🎁 you'll ever give yourself. I barely knew my daughter when she was two (job, side hustles, and ambition). Fast-forward 28 years: my granddaughter is now two, and I know every curl on her head. I am so lucky that I chose to do slightly less in retirement. Take it from the ghost of Christmas Future- learn to retire 5 minutes at a time while you're young. Beautiful gifts are waiting to be unwrapped, my friends. God bless you, Mel; you are doing great things. Merry Christmas!
Agree
Sitting in bed with a cup of coffee and a piece of apple crumble. Feel validated by listening to you 😊
Enjoy some amazing Michigan Grown Cannabis today. Merry Christmas Mel
I love Apple Crumble! What a way to start the day.
Working at the office,infront of my lappi but loving Mel Robbins 😂❤ First time listening that someone is advising to do nothing 😁
THANK YOU!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ I am watching this literally now. "Stop torturing yourself with the impossible standards you see on social media".
This podcast was Mel’s Christmas present to me. Thank you
Agree
Me too
Agree 💯
5 minutes - a moment in time we all have the capability to just sit, shut our phones and minds and house noise off, and Do Nothing. ❤✌️✨️
Wowza!! This is why i love you! My mind is ALWAYS so overstimulated. After this hectic hectic xmas eve and morning, im exhausted. I was listening to you on my drive home planning on gettin home with a laundry list of shit to do. I HAVE to organize my grandbabies crap, toss old bring in new. Xmas is one out of 3 holidays that i dont have to do anything as far as work/hustle. So i get to do whatever i can at the house. As i was listening, im like, ya know what... im gonna go home, unload my car, go in my room and lay down for a little while. No phone, tv.. just quiet. Imma TRY not to think of everything i HAVE to do today.. PS, i prop my phone up when im lucky enough to get in more than a 3 minute shower 😆.. And i havent had a pedi in 2 years 😞 0 time.
Well its 1133pm and simce 8pm i been cleanin/decluttering my room from the tornado my 3yr old grandbaby created. But idc. She came about 5pm which i was waitin for her cause she still hadnt opened her gifts here. Anyway, it was just me and her. And for 3 hours, she opened gifts and just played played played. Me and her. I blocked out everything and really connected with her. She was amazin with me tonight despite the fact she hadnt slept since 7am and had been to 3 diff houses and when she came, she was cranky, tired and whining. I scooped her aeay from her aunt and they left. I then fully engaged myself with her and her needs and we had an amazing 3 hiurs together. Not one whine, cry or meltdown. And this was possible from listening to your podcasts. Verious ones.. im so ready to make xhanges in my life and have been takin baby steps for months. You give me so much inpsiration along with my other podcasts i listen to called Biggerpockets. My dream/goal is to invest/buy real estate and now after comin across your podcasts, ive realized there are so many things in my personal life that go hand in hand with my goals. So keep speaking Mel!! You have no idea what you are doing in my life to make me the person i want to be and the person i know i am.. I just need ppl like you to let me know that i am not alone 😀
I'm good at this, ha! I'm 61 and have been retired from a day job since Covid. I have a busy year planned, but this week, NOTHING! I have a book to read. Husband and I are watching football and he's off this week. But in January, I'm walking for my health. I have 12,000 words into my novel I'm writing and I'm going to finish my first draft by April. I've got ebay stuff to sell, my office to clean, etc. I'll be writing a decluttering book soon as well. Lots of fun stuff ahead!
NOTE TO MEL - can you drop your mic down an inch so we can see your face better? It's blocking your mouth and it's distracting. I'm saying that as kindly as I can! I think you are terrific! I love your messages and teachings. LET THEM is changing my life! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Merry Christmas Mel, thank you for helping me get through this year well. Looking forward to more of your wisdom in 2024 ❤
You are so right! Sometimes, the most powerful step you can take is a pause.
I have a bad habit of running around doing everything until I hit a wall and literally can't do anything. I then feel guilty that I have to rest. Always being busy is so stressful, I often catch myself holding my breathe. I hate it because although I'm so busy I never feel like I have time to do anything I actually enjoy. So thank you for this episode Mel, i guess i needed permission to take some time to just stop. My intention for 2024 is to slow down, take time to just do nothing, and decompress and also to make intentional time to do something I want even if it feels frilous. I have been wanting to start drawing and painting, just because it sounds fun! Cheers to you and everyone listening.
I so needed to hear this. I listened on my way home from work yesterday and this evening instead of doing my usual thing of watching TV I have picked up my crochet and been listening to a meditation audio and just letting my mind totally rest. It's been a rough few weeks and this feels incredibly healing. Thank you so much Mel. Your podcast is helping me so much in so many ways as I navigate a really difficult period in my life. Wish I'd found you sooner! Bless you for your honesty, your authenticity, and your devotion to helping others in any way you can. I appreciate you so much 🙏❤️😘
Single mom of 3, two jobs, house to run... I've been stuck in freeze mode and doing a lot of nothing and feeling like utter shit for it. I didn't have clients at work between Christmas and NYE, stressed about that... Finally finally the last few days I paid my rent early, did a robust budget, saw my debt, recognized my situation and that there wasn't anything more I could do about it and succumbed to the nothing... I could've used all the time to relax, but I didn't. Part of my resolutions is to do more of nothing and say NO more often. No plans doesn't mean I'm available to make plans.
Ooh, I love all of this, the anxiety, the same amount of complications in life are there, and giving myself the grace to have moments of nothing, and giving myself breaks,. Is everything I need in life right now. I found a big change in career, taking a big change in lifestyle, losing my spouse, and so many balls in the air. I decided to take break from dating guys that give me terrible grief and anxiety, taking a break from dating, and go out with friends practice healthy boundaries and be Myself. Most of al putting myself first in my life. Is my game changer
I regularly do nothing. My house is a mess and I earn nothing but doing nothing, here's a philosophy I can get behind.
😂😂😂
This is for me. I can't relax !!
Sometimes it is necessary to do nothing ❤
Ditto
Merry Christmas! This video showed up in my feed and the topic is so on point for me, this week I will not be doing a damn thing because I am retiring on Friday. Enjoy all!
Happy retirement!
Good for you! My advice is not to make any big decisions for awhile, including commitments of your time. Give yourself a break. Lots of folks will possibly think you’re just the one to do x, y, or z now that you’re retired. Just say no! Don’t feel guilty! Cheers!
Happy retirement. Enjoy.
Literally top of my list this week, tidy the kitchen cupboards! 🤦🏽♀️ I needed to hear this, made me teary! I can’t stop but I need too! Thanks Mel x
In regards to comparing myself to others, and feeling like I am failing, or not good enough… about four years ago I came up with these questions when I start having negative self talk. I ask myself if this was a friend talking about themselves like this, what would I stay to them? How would I encourage them? How can I give them positive reinforcement? How would I encourage them to see the lesson learned even in there was failures? I then ask and do these things for myself. This has been a wonderful tool for building confidence, and being kind and loving to myself, because at the end of the day, we are all our own best friend. So we need to treat ourselves like we’re our best friend. ❤
I just recently found your channel, and I want to say I find you very personable and real. Keep being the lady next-door. Your messages are worthwhile and meaningful.❤
You must be watching me…. Started dinner, now walking dogs. When done with walking Dod will get their food, then will pull everything togather for our dinner, after dinner wash dishes, etc., etc., etc. love ya Mel! ❤
Hi my dear Mel, I love your podcasts! And this one, like a ton of weight released from my shoulders. I am now 58 and not working for the moment. My kids are adults and have their jobs and lives. So I have time but during my entire life I always have been busy and on the go, I feel sometimes frustrated that I did not do a lot of things years ago but now I understand that I was being a mom and raising my young children. So it was ok not to have all these side hustles and hobbies. I learn to focus more on one activity and not 20 at the same time. Still difficult but become more aware of my patterns. Learning from you and wow this video is just what I needed! Thanks Mel! You are wonderful!❤❤❤
😂Thanks! I needed this idea of doing nothing. I was a single mom of six children under 12 yrs old.. That's how I got to this place, Hurry, drop kids off at school get to work, pick up kids , go shopping, fix dinner. Hurry, a child is in a concert, or theatrical play,. We must all be there to support as my folks had ten kids and my parents we so busy with the younger kids nobody came to my choir concert. We live in a crazy world today! My grandma spent hours cooking as she had eleven children. She could go kill a couple of her chickens. I even helped her pluck the feathers. We'd roll out the dough and make noodles. We had bottled peaches.
In between meals she embroidered dish towels. Some do other hand work like knitting or crocheting that produced scarfs, sweaters, blankets which kept there families warm! No I'm not trying to make you feel guilty. I am smashed between very busy grandparents and a new generation that's bored to death if they need to turn off their phones to visit grandma. They lack conversational
skills. Their texts are void of punctuation and correct spelling or capitalization.. What's happening???
Kids don't know how cook unless it's pizza or fast foods! During Covid some grandkids learned.new hobbies or musical instruments! Nice!
To show how difficult it is for me. I had a partial knee replacement and I felt guilty just try to get better and learned to be on my phone for hours of trivia!! I see now how easy it is to get stuck on my phone or go down some rabbit hole. Goodness gracious how can we help a "do nothing" generation and "do
Everything generation" Thanks for focusing on these thoughts provoking topics!
I have a reminder in my phone at 2:13 that says "Take a Mel Robbins Minute"!! :) I think you suggested it in a previous episode, and if I'm not out and about, I do it. But this is a GREAT reminder to take it more seriously. Just sit and close your eyes and be. :)
You're the best, Mel! Merry Christmas to you and yours!!! Happy holidays! Have a good one hun! ❤
Love you Mel, Merry Christmas/Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas, Mel! Doing nothing isn't a problem for me, but comparing myself is. So thank you so much for telling us flat out not to compare ourselves to others with different life circumstances! Wishing you and your family all the best!
Merry Christmas Mel… hope it’s full of Joy and love.❤
HA!! I love my to do lists, but I absolutely know when to do nothing. Proud to say that @melrobbins! Especially the days after Christmas and thanksgiving, I tell my partner (b/c he's constantly moving and working) "get ready because I'm about to do nothing today" -I stay in my P j's, eat leftover holiday food, and watch TV on the couch. And in the summer, after cleaning the house all day, I absolutely do nothing on the deck but eat cheese and drink wine. It's become an art form LOL!
Mel you are so relatable! Very real! Thank you so much! Merry Christmas! 💕
I needed this so bad today! Thank you!
Merry Blessed Christmas 🩷💚 Thank you for all you do!
I loved this!!! I have an 8 to 5, 6 days a week, 4 businesses, and a household to run. And 17 minutes in, I HAD to do something because I was so triggered by doing nothing. Thank you, #Melrobbins. Bless you. I commit to doing nothing 15 minutes every day. Baby steps 🚶♂️p.s. I'm getting a pedicure 😊 while doing nothing and enjoying the massage chair.
Here I am listening to this episode going to the gym after a morning full of "OMG I KINDA HAVE A DAY OFF, BUT I MEAN I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING AND I ACTUALLY DO HAVE THINGS TO DO" so now I have my whole day planned... And maybe that's cool, because I did want it to be planned. Buuutttt I'm watching this episode thinking "maybe I just had to do nothing... Like at least fir a few hours".
39:33 thank you Mel!! The reminder that doing nothing is not the same as being lazy. I’m sharing the 6 question workbook with my teenage children as part of our end-of-year routine. Allowing for more grace and for the season of my busy, but beautiful life. Spot on, as always. I love you! 😌🩵
Thank you, Mel!
I'm so happy that I found your channel. You're so real and so close to my life that your advice really fit my life. I' m the same - obviously ADHD-er, two jobs; two children with ADHD and dyslexia; disabled parents ( my father struggling from a severe dementia at his 60s now). My mom claiming that I don't pay enough attention to them because I don't call them everyday, although I 'm the only one who takes care of their issues like water supply, medication providing, documentary and institutional dealing etc.
...........
Anyway, it couldn't be said better - although we live in a world that seems not to be designed for us, we still resist and we still survive and success because we're awesome with our unique way of thinking out of the frame. But we have to be a little bit selfish in a way to preserve ourselves like fragile 🌺🌹🌺 flowers from the hursh rush of nowadays demanding life.
Oh, I've missed my husband mocking my endless alarms about everything and my piles of notes and reminders😁 😊😊!!!
Love you, Mel!
Thanks you are here, thanks being you!!!
Merry Christmas and really Happy New Year 🎊🎊🎊 2024!!!
I had a day off work after Christmas and decided I was just going to do nothing all day but lay on the couch and watch movies. I started to second guess myself and then I received your email talking about this podcast and I said to myself, THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO DO NOTHING TODAY! So thank you Mel for this, it was exactly what I needed.
Yes, I feel guilty and lazy when I’m doing nothing, but I just tell myself it’s best to relax today so I can be at 100% tomorrow
OMG! My Rheumatoid flared up over the weekend and I’ve been in pain for 2 days. Thank you for telling me to STOP doing so much and I have! I can’t do it alone so I need to let it go for right now.
🎉Thankz Mel 💜
Right now Im actually sitting on my throne while Im listening you. Mel Robbins....bathroom psychic. Go Mel.
I laid in a hammock today and just watched the trees sway in the breeze. It was glorious. Thank you.
Awesome mote people should do what they an enjoy. Their life would spark up, ignore all the have-ti-do's from everyday stress!
Try this, you'll really learn to enjoy life more.
Merry Christmas, Mel! Thank you for helping me to get through a lot of stuff. Have happy holidays!❤🎄🎉
It took me collapsing from exhaustion and burnout before I started to learn to relax and rest. 😞 The podcast Nothing Much Happens is the only way I have found to rest during the day. If I try to just rest on the couch my mind thinks of 800 things and before I know it I am Google searching something. 🤦🏻♀️😆 So I put on a sleep story and it gives my mind something calming to follow. I also use it to fall asleep at night. Highly recommend!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
In the window of time between, say, Mad Men and vaping, when a lot of people still smoked but not at work, we didn’t have all this manic productivity. The smokers would step outside for a cigarette about every 2 hours. They’d chat to the other smokers, they’d look around, they’d breathe the air, they might stroll a bit, they might go sit in the car, or they might pop across the street to pick up something at the drugstore, since they were already away from their desk. I’m not glamorizing smoking but it gave a % of the population an authorized break during the day - in fact, several. After meals they’d light up and sit for 15 minutes. I remember it from when I was a kid. Adults took breaks. They had mini opportunities to socialize OR be alone AND not work - other people allowed them these breaks. And it was healthy!!!! We don’t need to go back to smoking (or start vaping, Which is worse) - we just need to allow breaks again. Allow ourselves breaks. Allow our co-workers breaks. Just build breaks into the day. Wow I never realized how much I miss this till now. Thanks for a great podcast.
Thanks Mel! It’s hard to do nothing when you have 5 grad kids running around your house, screaming and making messes, but I will try and relax and breath! But doing nothing right now, I don’t think that will happen. Enjoy listening to you.😄❤️ merry Christmas!🎄
Thank you! I work long hours but I wanted to get healthier. So I started walking on my fifteen minute breaks and the time started adding up. I also started packing my lunch and started packing my lunch. Eventually I got courageous and went to the free weigh room. This year I want to prioritize rest and sleep.
Yes!! Slow down, in order to recharge and speed up
Thank you Mel.
Thank you Mel. I needed to hear this. Feel burnt out and can't not be doing something even when relaxing. The only time I am not busy or doing something I'm sleeping. Happy Christmas
Merry Christmas Mel. Thank you for all you do.
I laughed at everything you said because I do the same things....Tub/text lol. I actually did nothing while drinking my morning coffee the day before I watched this. It was wonderful!! I will continue this as much as possible in 2024!! Thank you for the reminder.
And thank you for being you!
Thankyou Mel 🙏🏻 As a result of certain circumstances being thrown at me, 2023 became a huge learning year for me, resulting in reassessing my own life, choices and decision making in regards to my health both physically and mentally! You and your podcast has helped in so many ways in this journey I’ve found myself on. Bring on 2024. Happy New Year Mel ❤
I started doing nothing by waiting to pick my kids up at their events. Just sitting in the car, maybe playing a mindless game to stop the wheel in my head and its been helpful!
Merry Christmas Mel and Mel's generous skilled team.
What a year!!! You guys stuffed a 10 pound bag with 20 pounds of helpful tools that I so appreciate every tool you gave me. Some I didn't need and the ones I have kept, help me all the time. Thanks team.
Sitting in my cozy chair to watching my favorite movie. Happy, happy 😃🥂🌅
Oh thank you Mel for this. I've taken a huge break from dating terrible guys, that tell me my role in their lives they want, and some just tell me what I will do for them. I'm working on myself, and taking a small personal break, to work on myself. I realized that my best relationships with healthy boundaries for me are in my life. The Let Them theory, fabulous. The five second rule, amazing, and these are freeing me up to do the absolute best things for myself. These are helping me to be the best version of myself, and this video Absolutely the thing I needed, I've had to reevaluate my life in the best way.
Woohoo! I did it for a minute, lol! I set a one minute timer on my phone and grabbed the closest pet- which was my cocker spaniel because he's my shadow, and I petted him on the couch for a minute. He loved it and so did I. I did have to chase away the thought of getting up to find the item I just sold online that I can't find in my closet, and the thought that I need to get this dog a haircut, but I did pretty good. I'm going to try to do this at least every day. Thanks Mel for another building block :)
So many people needed to hear this today. Merry Christmas
OK I think it has to do with the word > nothing.
I suggest doing this Mel , and that is relax in a way you want to relax. As you know there are s number of ways to do that. You could sit in an easy chair and close your eyes.
And you can get up anytime you want like 5 min or 10 minutes.
You could take a bubble bath,
You could take a short walk in a grove or woods or by a lake.
You could listen to some soft soothing music you could drink some OOLOG tea while reading the funnies.
I’m so grateful for Mel and everything that she shares. Wishing you nothing but the best in 2024, Mel! ❤
Merry Christmas from Toronto,thank you .listening to you keeps me going and motivated.❤️❤️❤️🤗
OMG, I feel the same way with you Mel. I always pack myself with a lot of work, that way I can focus on getting stuff done without overthinking anything. And you're so right. Once I sit down, my thoughts go everywhere and I can't get out of my head. But now I've found that listening to podcasts or music on youtube helps calm my brain a lot. This talk is truly amazing and relatable. Thank you so much Mel
I have just finished a week of doing nothing (or as near to it as I can with three children bustling about) I suffered a debilitating vertigo attack that left me useless for 4days where I still had to host my daughter's birthday party. I have listened to my body and am taking my power back from everyone and making some changes that are beneficial to me and putting me first -guilt free. If I don't make these changes, I'm going to end up very ill, and what example am I showing my children?
Merry Christmas, knitting and art journaling literally save my life.
I can relate to the toes Mel. It’s bad. That’s why I love you so much. I have been sick this week and I cannot do nothing. Somehow I have binged on the kardashians (never watched them before in my life) and I am drawing in my sketchbook. I prefer to draw in my sketchbook over the binging on shorts. I have adhd as well. So I am going to try this doing nothing thing. Thanks for this fantastic video today!
I'm gloriously alone in my own home for the next 3 hours. I am relishing this quiet, alone, do nothing time just listening to you be real right now.
Thank you.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I enjoy your videos
Hi Mel: I just did « nothing » listening to you and… … okay… 🙃 folding family socks at the same time. LOVE your vibe, energy, sense of humour, had soft chuckles and laughed out loud sometimes. Keep up being YOURSELF - you are AWESOME Mel because you are SO real! To you and your family, have a fabulous 2024
This is my first time listening to your podcast and it was really eye opening to me. I can relate you you as a mother of 3 boys all at different stages in their lives. Two teenagers and an elementary school age. They all have their own activities that I am constantly juggling. I try to stay on top of everything including excelling in my own career and having a happy family and marriage. I need to learn to not compare myself to others. Thank you for this podcast!
Thank you, Mel! I really needed this today! Merriest of Christmas to you and yours! 🙏✨🎄☃️🎄✨
Merry Christmas Mel to you and your family. Hope all of you have a wonderful new year
Yes, exactly taking the time to do something you enjoy that you love doing
As always your blow my mind with your generous and outstanding word NOTHING. it's really true that we need to unplugged ourself from hustle and bustle on our life and mind. I keep stressing myself and need to do something to calm and fix my mind and life which is NOTHING. 2.13 pm in my time zone I WILL DO SOMETHING that literally weird for my mind which has billions monkey mind every single second.
Above of all I fell in love with you honesty Mel, you're so natural, treat as your true friends and I love you too. 💖
At 21:12 seconds Mel says I feel it! I feel like there's something wrong with me if I'm NOT doing something
Thanks Mel, you are the best! I find that when I do nothing, I start to fall asleep. Maybe that is a sign that I don’t get enough sleep at night!
Merry Christmas Mel and family. Thank you so much!!
Mel, I'm ADHD (just diagnosed last year @ 68) - I can sit and do my BFRB's and let the world go round 🤦♀️😂‼️ I can't relate to this. I am also a chronic pain patient with some very painful conditions that exhaust me. I have been a phone addict - or SM addicted. I live alone, my sons are grown men, and I don't trust many people. I always have something in my head but I can push it back easily. I avoid thinking about the stuff I need to do. I guess I'm unplugged from connection. I want someone in my life but I don't believe that they exist in reality. I'm too much or I'm not enough. I'm almost 70 and I don't look it. But then I look at my hands and neck and on down is like OMG 🤦♀️🙄 Chicken skin and even though I'm thin Ugh 😫😂
I feel like I don't fit anywhere. I have so much I'd like to do or get done. A lot of it I need help with. Physically. And I hate asking anyone for help. I have no problem taking breaks. I don't think I deserve to because I haven't done enough. At least people like you are getting things done. You're all creating something. I have to delete a bunch of emails so I can download your present 🎁💗 I'm grateful for finding you. I'm glad you have a network of people who are also helper's. I want to start living again. You have helped me get to this place. I'm scared AF but I know you're going to be here for all of it. Keep following your path and thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us 🩵 You're real and that's why so many people adore you 🥰🤩 No judgement 💯✨ Now go do Nothing ‼️😁💜
About to listen, but wanted to tell you I downloaded and printed out your work book for 2024. Its funny I was thinking this year I am only going to follow you, some remote notary and loan signing agent ladies (that is what I am doing this year) and some pet sitting people..I am ONLY listening and watching people that inspire me! no one else. Insta, FB, CZcamsrs! I am going to be laser focus! If I want to be my own boss and travel and have money for rentals one day I have to focus on AMY! you even said this in one of your podcasts recently! I forgot which one! You said to Follow only Motivational people ;))) Happy Holidays;)
😁 Hi Mel! 🎉 Happy Holidays 🎇 🎅🎄🦌❄️🧑🎄🕯️
Thank you, Mel. ❤
This hits home!! Constantly being “on” and never letting my brain shut off. Thank you!!!!!
Thank You Mel 💞
Your right I do need to rest and relax. Thank you for your great advice for this week. High 5 Mel.
🖐😁👍✝️🦅❤🌷
So appreciate your transparency, sharing your thoughts/feeling and laughing at yourself❤❤
I started watching you in order to improve my English but now I’m watching in order to get whatever you say by my cells
This has been on my mind a lot lately... definitely timing for listening to this is perfect.. I'm in over my head some days with not saying no and the mindless scrolling distraction and wasting time then being in a panic and then negative self talk vicious circle...
It's Christmas day and I just spent about 3 hours doing freelance work because I felt guilty about sitting around. (It's due on the 12th so no reason I had ro work today) WHY AM I LIKE THIS
Thats what i am doing!!! And I dont even feel bad about it!
Happy holidays and thanks for your helpful channel! ❤
Loved this Mel. Workbook in hand now too! Listening to this one I had a recurring question - what the heck does nothing look like!!?? 😅
Hello Mel, i love you soooo much!!!! I can totally relate to your vibe! Listening to you feels like a warm conversation with a good old friend that knew me for centuries, who understands my concerns and i am sure for others too. I appreciate you, I love you and I love that I can connect with your content. Soooo grateful, you have no idea!!!
MEL! THANK YOU AND I APPRECIATE YOU! I have enjoyed many of your podcasts, CZcams videos, books.. thank you for what you do for me and I'm sure more people than you even know. Outside of that, I absolutely love the top that you are wearing in this episode. I've seen it before, and I am wondering if you would share where I could possibly find it??
Thank you Mel. Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family ❤
Awe! Thanks for this! I'm actually off this week! Its been nonstop with Christmas and all now I am wanting to organize everything but your video makes me stop and think! I can totally do the five minutes! Thanks for all you do ❤
Amen, my mind never stops, it's awful...love listening to you.
I think Mel, you should have gotten that Spa thing for your Christmas! Just do it!! And 213 is my birthday. So i will use it to take time for self love. ❤ Seeing this Christmas day! Merry Christmas! Thank you!
I literally just did this before I saw this video. It was hard! I thought if I can do 5 minutes a day, then 10 etc without looking at my phone, my mindset will be so much healthier!!
Thank you Mel. Needed to hear this. Sending you much love these Xmas Holidays ❤️❤️❤️👍
I love you Mel!! Your words have so much power on me ❤
