I have Thursdays off work and hereâs my two things: 1 - every Thursday I clean my car, inside and out. And 2- every other Thursday I get my nails done. Iâve done these two things religiously (devotionally..) for years and I can tell you, the drive to work in a clean car with posh hands on the steering wheel has given me a sense of gratefulness and luxury that I carry with me into each day. Sticking to little things that serve you have a big impact. Anyways, thanks for another great video! đ€
Thank you for this idea! I donât have money to get my nails done professionally but the glue ons last about a week! I am putting both on the schedule â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
1. A good mood changes everything. 2. Good health transforms your day 3. Identify priorities and the 80/20 4. Do things once 5. Create systems for yourself - don't let things get out of hand 6. Discipline can be devotion
I love these tips! A similar rule I follow for myself is "if you have time for it when you think of it, do it immediately." For instance, if you're on your way home and realize you need to fill your gas tank, do it right then. Don't put it off for the next time you're in the car, because next time you might be running late. If you're sitting on the couch watching TV and remember you need to do laundry or clean the litter box or whatever, get up and do it right away. Don't put it off if you don't have to. You will feel better knowing that it's done, and also knowing you won't kick yourself in the future (hours or days from then) when you re-remember to do it.
I have a motto about housework: Everything has a place, and everything is in its place. If that stays true as you go, all that's left is cleaning. I rotate cleaning. Vacuuming one day, dusting another. Mopping another day. Bathroom yet another. That way, I don't feel like a slave to keeping my house clean.
@@user-oe5yj2fi5m A lot of putting things away has to do with completing projects one at a time, instead of leaving things half-baked out on counters or piles of laundry out. If you have a place for everything, completing projects one at a time becomes a lot easier. For example, I have sorting bins in my laundry area for whites, lights and darks while enough laundry accumulates to do a load. If you designate certain places as 'off limits' for clutter - like my dining room table - which is a focal point once you enter my living room, the process becomes easier. One 'off limits' area cleared at a time.
âBeing busy for the sake of being busy is not an achievementâ I needed to hear this badly. I live in a household where my mom and younger sister both keep themselves busy with work and they are MISERABLE. For the longest time, they made me feel guilty for not keeping myself busy by working many hours at a hospital setting like them (they are nurses, and Iâm still a student studying psychology, which takes much longer). My mom constantly tries to get me to work in a hospital because it makes more money but Iâm great at budgeting and I donât feel the need to change my work place where Iâm an assistant manager, amazing with my tasks and get along super well with my manager. Since my classes take up more mental capacity, I CHOOSE to stay at my job where I feel peaceful. They donât understand that. I learned that the only reason they make me feel bad about it is because they want to feel better about themselves. Sure, hospitals have better pay, but classes already take up most of my energy and Iâd rather not add stress into my life by working at a hospital setting (I tried it for 5 months and it did not work for me). My mental state is at its best today than it has ever been, and watching your videos have enhanced my way of life. Thank you so much!
Amazing ideas here, and I freaking LOVE changing the word âDisciplineâ to âDevotionâ because it feels more feminine to me. That oneâs gonna change my life. Xoxo â€
Syncing my life with my cycle works well for me. For example I use my follicular and ovulatory phase for creativity based responsibilities or tasks, this is a phase where Iâll focus on meal prep and making nice hearty healthy meals that I can freeze and just thaw and use for later. Iâll use my luteal phase for planning and organisation tasks and Iâll use my menstrual cycle for rest and self care.
I started working full time 8 hours a day for 5 days and I felt so drained. I shortened it to 6 hours to prioritize my health and I am so much happier. I felt shamed for a while over it but I realize your everyday IS your life.
True about blood sugar. I used to be afraid of eating because I almost always felt sleepy n lethargic after eating. I love foods but my relationship with foods was so bad that time with this side effect, I ended up developing a mild eating disorder. But then I educated myself what caused that so I improved my eating habit. And as atomic habits say, one good habit leads to another, until I stack up more habits for health and add frictions for bad habits. Now I love eating again, n if I want to indulge in sugary foods, it's very rare and an informed choice because I know I'll crash afterwards, so it's planned and not due to craving.
Hi! I relate to your comment so much. I feel sleepy and lethargic but im not sure if it's eating or just generally, if you don't mind could you tell what changes you brought to your diet or any other in your life that helped bring improvement â€ïž
Iâm having a chronic fatigue flare and I just want to thank you for your video. It just made me stop stressing about it and just slow down and prioritise whatâs really important and know all will be ok. I know your video wasnât specifically on this issue but somehow it made me feel better âșïžâ€ïž, so thank you! đž
Wow, EXACTLY same here.. the timing of this video couldnât be better. Weâre allowed to rest. Hope you feel better soonđ€âš sending you loving energy
I want you to know I was sick with Chronic Fatigue Syndrom for 4 years (you can see my recovery interview on youtube under CFS Unraveled episode 10) and I fully recovered. I wish you good luck on your recovery journey. Full recovery is possible
@@alexandraalbertz1442 Iâll have a look thanks. Iâm better but thatâs happened before and Iâve relapsed. Iâll have a look thanks. but I also have an autoimmune disease which doesnât help!
Jillz, my word of the year is "discipline". I have so many big goals and I just couldn't do anything because of my anxiety. The knowledge and practice of feminine energy has been changing my life and my relationship with my work. This new perspective of discipline as devotion kind of summarize everything I have been going through. Thank you a lot †love
I simply got addicted to your videos! âïžđ Based on the inspiration I got from you, I started to take more care about my appearances and the way I feel. I LOVE learning how to be more in my feminine energy and it positively affects everyone around me đ€đ Keep up the great work. Sending you lots of love âïžđ
So funny- just this morning I titled a page in my notebook "Gentle Life"! I am currently working all hours available in preparation for making a move to a different life overseas in the winter. Included in my list are things like silk socks and underwear, a woodstove or an Aga in the kitchen, no car/no commuting! No rushing, a 'position' rather than a 'job', wearing a watch because it's pretty not because I am watching the time. There will be no room for rushing :)
Hi Gills, I loved this video of yours! So many amazing points! My addition to the list (that I thing is a game changer) is to be WELL RESTED. Almost all people know this in theory, but its often disregarded. I thought I put it out here for other people who need to hear it.
I was just looking a discipline quotes and reframing them for devotion⊠âDiscipline yourself so others donât have toâ⊠âDiscipline is giving yourself a command and following it up with an action.â (It feels like discipline is associated with rules and failure with punishment. Whereas devotion is the âdesire to doâ motivated by love / passion.) Reframed quotes: âLove and attend to your yourself so others donât have toâ ⊠âDevotion is dedicating yourself to an ideal and following through with action.â â€
saw this video as I was feeling lost halfway through the year, not really overwhelmed or tired but just.. lost. Jill, I hope you know how grateful I am to see this video today. you have no idea how much this means to me. most people my age are all about the hustle, getting 3 jobs to reach their goals and here I am, just wanting to live a soft life. I always assumed that I was lazy for not wanting more. you made me feel validated. I want you to know that this is a wake up call for me. such beautiful tips, I will do my best to live the soft life that I want.
I know this wasnât your main intention but saying that being in poor health makes you feel like you have nothing was so validating to hear!! Iâve been struggling bad with something similar to what youâve spoken about with the interstitial cystitis and itâs been awful. Iâm finally taking care of my health and Iâm already feeling so much better, but the trauma of feeling like everything had been ripped away from me felt like something nobody understood, so thank you.
Hello Jillz! I'm just writing to say... THANKS! I've never believed in this "stuff", but I've tried many things to improve myself, my self-confidence and self-esteem, to find my authentic self and nothing worked for me, even though I went to therapy for more than a year, but didn't notice any change. In one month or two months, I've been listening to your content and applied it every day with my husband, with myself, and with others and I can't believe how much has changed in a good way! My husband is sweeter than ever, protective... just a perfect husband. I feel so good now, so chill and confident, of course, I know I must keep working on myself. But I'm so impressed by how much everything has changed since I decided to connect with my feminine energy and u know, it was so easy, so natural đ so THANKS
Oh my God, the good mood cam - you are completely right!! Thank you for the advice and the reminders to be conscious of your mood so you can be kinder to yourself.
This is a mind opener for me. I always do wallow, and get stuck with the exhaustion all day. I think it is my responsibility to shift my feelings into blessedness and gratefulness more. I get tired of my own thoughts too. Also lately I'm into fasting, 20:4 fasting, and I notice how my energy is up all day. đ So much changes for me lately and I try to honor myself more. âš
I couldn't agree more. Living this way, softer, has literally changed my life. And when I started I was in the middle of a real whirlpool where everything seemed to be falling apart. By staying in my feminine, softer, positive energy, I tapped into my inner strength and was able to create the kind of life that I had wanted to live, starting exactly where I was, which was NOT a comfortable place and there was nothing certain or easy about it. By staying true to my purpose, I started making better and healthier choices, which made me heal from terrible anxiety, and then gradually fall in love with life again. I also agree that a good, positive-focused attitude towards challenges, responsibilities etc makes all the difference. You don't have to wait for the weekend or holiday to be happy, you just make it work and make every day matter. Finally, I think that the more people turn towards this kind of thinking and actually living their live in allignment with that, the softer and happier is the world we live in. We heal each other even on the subconscious level, so every little step towards healing and growth that we make can create ripples in the world around us. And yes, I do love the word devotion and that's how I see it - it's kinda like a gift to oneself, you know you do this thing because you deserve it, not because there is pressure, and that really makes things much easier and better.
The part about how being in a good mood makes generally stressful work much easier and enjoyable is so so true! We are not here to struggle and be sad!
I love these videos not only for the inspiration and motivation to take care of myself, but because your voice is so calming! I put these videos on when I'm working on a stressful task at work, and it always calms me down. I tend to stress about things I need to get done at home while I'm at work and things I need to get done at work while I'm at home... It's a never ending cycle!
Stumbled upon this video via my CZcams feed recommendations and Iâm so grateful I chose to watch! I loved all the ones you mentioned and I was particularly struck by the last one, discipline vs. devotion. That really resonated with me and I absolutely love this idea. I struggle in terms of creating (as a writer) because Iâve always felt like âwhy bother if I donât have the readers which is why I put all these thoughts on paper, so I can share.â But if I reframe it as devotion to my craft, to knowing that this is what I love doing and I love sharing, it will help me to keep going before Iâm seeing external results from it. Start with the internal, right? A devotion to me, to what I love, to my passion, and then itâll blossom out to those who resonate with what I share. I love this. Thank you so much. I appreciate you!
Hi there Jillz. I really need this in my life. I am working hard to transform everything in my life, starting with a hair cut today. Thank you for the wonderful work that you do. xx
You definitely give off a very peaceful demeanour and beautiful character. And very helpful tips. Another tip to bring abundant peace is to know Jesus. "So letâs strive for the things that bring peace and the things that build each other up." Romans 14:19, if you want give it a try, its definitely worth it and I can fully see his beautiful spirit in youâșïžâ€ïž
Hey Jillls, this is a great video! As a university student, it becomes really hard for me not to work on something or the other, continuously, and I eventually burn myself out. This is such a wonderful video! I'm gonna start spending more time on self care and doing things I like.
Thank you, your videos and advice ground me đ sometimes I need to remind myself not to stress too much or think of toxic negative stuff and just enjoy the day đ
I really appreciate this video, just after one exhausted week. It"s impossible to live in that way. I decided that my life has to be soft and easy. Thank you so much for your advice †cheers from Argentina
looking at discipline as devotion -- I LOVE this!!! I've been having huge revelations about discipline in my life and have landed exactly at this place embracing my feminine energy took years and now im in the process of fully EMBODYING it. it's an amazing journey that im grateful to be on. love your vids!
First I thought your videos are about beauty and are a bit shallow, like being pretty is the most important thing. But I really enjoy listening and watching your videos, I think I was on a journey being soft and happy but lately I lost it, and your videos help me a lot finding my way again. From a softer perspective I try not to memorize everything you say and stress on in to follow, but I listen these tips frequently and it seems like I can embody this way of thinking. Thank you :)
I used a very similar method to change my attitude to working out - instead of âsportâ just use the word âmovementâđđ A tiny change, but it had such a great impact on me!
I love doing things once- I'm the queen of eating leftovers in our house since I do not enjoy cooking haha. đ„°đ I need to get better with discipline/devotion. It's improved a lot this year, but I still have so much growing to do in that area! Thanks for the great video.
I love this video â€ïž I'm with you here on most of these and looking forward to trying others. I agree, it's a combination of softness and devotion/discipline! Thanks Jillz!
Just before 5 minutes jillz starts talking about liking what we think we hate and if you'd like to keep learning about this i recommend the book existential kink by Carolyn Elliot. đ€
This is an incredible video. Resonated so much! Im on track with bringing more joy into things and doing things once but the others are great additions to this positive spiral Im on!
My favorite video of yours so far! I found everything in this video applicable. Also- especially when you mentioned the meal prepping vs. cooking for next dayâs lunch. I think itâs important to offer variation like that- for instance, I will sometimes meal prep for multiple days at a time, but other times only cook for an additional meal or two. Sometimes the task of a full meal prep just doesnât make sense for the week OR can feel like a completely daunting task (which is not in any way feeling soft!). Likewise maybe Iâll just batch cook a bunch of vegetables to have on hand to incorporate into other dishes. Itâs all about finding whatâs most helpful & in flow for you. Thanks for the video đ«¶đœ
Hello Jillz, thank you for another helpful video ( as always) †i was wondering if you could make a video about attachment styles and especially the anxiety one and how it does impact our relationship with people. Sending love â€â€
For so many years I've been told that taking care of my health the way I want to (extra vitamins, essential oils, skin care, clothes) physically is selfish. So as a result I look and feel like crap. I decided to start this journey by investing in taking care of my body physically so my mental wellness follows and thrives.
Is there any tip for introverts, a way to be happy in workplace and university. Like even if the place is happy and all. I get so exhausted from all the social interactions in university. Even tho I don't interact too much, I feel exhausted and hence ends up in a bad mood.
I have Thursdays off work and hereâs my two things: 1 - every Thursday I clean my car, inside and out. And 2- every other Thursday I get my nails done. Iâve done these two things religiously (devotionally..) for years and I can tell you, the drive to work in a clean car with posh hands on the steering wheel has given me a sense of gratefulness and luxury that I carry with me into each day. Sticking to little things that serve you have a big impact. Anyways, thanks for another great video! đ€

I love this! I have to have my car immaculate; I need to add the manicure. Great idea.
This is a great idea! Thank you for sharing.

Sounds like the book atomic habits. If you can do it in 5 minutes, do it now.
I have a motto about housework: Everything has a place, and everything is in its place. If that stays true as you go, all that's left is cleaning. I rotate cleaning. Vacuuming one day, dusting another. Mopping another day. Bathroom yet another. That way, I don't feel like a slave to keeping my house clean.
This is beautiful. Thank you so much.â€
This is so hard for me I never put anything away lol I had to implement the never leave a room empty handed rule , its helps lol
@@user-oe5yj2fi5m A lot of putting things away has to do with completing projects one at a time, instead of leaving things half-baked out on counters or piles of laundry out.

Hi there Jillz. I really need this in my life. I am working hard to transform everything in my life, starting with a hair cut today. Thank you for the wonderful work that you do. xx
I love the tip to think of it as devotion!
You definitely give off a very peaceful demeanour and beautiful character. And very helpful tips. Another tip to bring abundant peace is to know Jesus. "So letâs strive for the things that bring peace and the things that build each other up." Romans 14:19, if you want give it a try, its definitely worth it and I can fully see his beautiful spirit in youâșïžâ€ïž
Devotion is such a clever way of putting it! â€
Hey Jillls, this is a great video! As a university student, it becomes really hard for me not to work on something or the other, continuously, and I eventually burn myself out. This is such a wonderful video! I'm gonna start spending more time on self care and doing things I like.
We all need time for rest too â€ïžâ€ïž
You put it so well into words! Yess the creative flow is REAL when being at ease and relaxed đ đ
Hey jills, I'd like your advice on how to manage tasks when it's already piled up and feels so overwhelming that you can't even start
Love it. I scrubbed it right back to the beginning as soon as I finished it the first time! Thank you! Now to figure out what my golden 20% is..
Yesss figuring out that 20% makes all the difference! đđ
Thank you, your videos and advice ground me đ sometimes I need to remind myself not to stress too much or think of toxic negative stuff and just enjoy the day đ
On of my favorite phases I say to myself
What can I do for myself today that will make my tomorrow better
Currently walking outside on my lunch break decided to take my shoes off and ground by a tree đ„°
Thanks â€
Softer life, feels so good! Thanks for sharing :)đŻ
I like her videos.. its calming, doesnt stress me but able to get me moving. Thank you Jill
Binge watching your content has been my self care for the past 2 weeks †love your channel
Aww thank you!! Glad youâre here đ
Great video. I like the idea of using the word "devotion" as well. A few of your points hit home with me today, so thank you for speaking to my heart.
So glad it resonated đ
Your energy is just magicalâšâš
Aww THANK YOU! â€ïž
Could you please make a video of what you eat in a day or a full week of eating to have a better idea of what healthy eating looks like !
I really appreciate this video, just after one exhausted week. It"s impossible to live in that way. I decided that my life has to be soft and easy. Thank you so much for your advice †cheers from Argentina
So informative, never get tired of hearing what you have to say
So much gratitude for you following your dream and speaking your truth. it helps everyone. Sending you much love.
Beautiful feminine talk.... I enjoyed it â€â€â€â€â€
looking at discipline as devotion -- I LOVE this!!! I've been having huge revelations about discipline in my life and have landed exactly at this place embracing my feminine energy took years and now im in the process of fully EMBODYING it. it's an amazing journey that im grateful to be on. love your vids!
First I thought your videos are about beauty and are a bit shallow, like being pretty is the most important thing. But I really enjoy listening and watching your videos, I think I was on a journey being soft and happy but lately I lost it, and your videos help me a lot finding my way again. From a softer perspective I try not to memorize everything you say and stress on in to follow, but I listen these tips frequently and it seems like I can embody this way of thinking. Thank you :)
I used a very similar method to change my attitude to working out - instead of âsportâ just use the word âmovementâđđ A tiny change, but it had such a great impact on me!
Suddenly I'm feeling so happy!
Your vibe is so positive girl.
Keep it up â€
I love doing things once- I'm the queen of eating leftovers in our house since I do not enjoy cooking haha. đ„°đ I need to get better with discipline/devotion. It's improved a lot this year, but I still have so much growing to do in that area! Thanks for the great video.
thank you jillz to share your tips for being productive yet still live in joyful & soft life!
I love this video â€ïž I'm with you here on most of these and looking forward to trying others. I agree, it's a combination of softness and devotion/discipline! Thanks Jillz!
You are my inspiration đ„șđ©·đ·
I enjoy your videos very much, but this one is probably my favorite so far. Thanks for sharing.
Ah yay!! So glad you liked it â€ïž
Thank you so much đâ€
Love that! I'm going to start using the word "devotion".â€
I love you girl, you are changing my life, I send you everywhere now
Thank youđ€
The first tip is life-changing.
Thank you for all these wonderful tips!â€
loved it, thank you jillz
Thank you for mentioning devotion over discipline!
đđ
So very true! Thanks a lot!
Iâm definitely following you â€
đđ
Just before 5 minutes jillz starts talking about liking what we think we hate and if you'd like to keep learning about this i recommend the book existential kink by Carolyn Elliot. đ€
This is an incredible video. Resonated so much! Im on track with bringing more joy into things and doing things once but the others are great additions to this positive spiral Im on!
My favorite video of yours so far!
I found everything in this video applicable. Also- especially when you mentioned the meal prepping vs. cooking for next dayâs lunch. I think itâs important to offer variation like that- for instance, I will sometimes meal prep for multiple days at a time, but other times only cook for an additional meal or two. Sometimes the task of a full meal prep just doesnât make sense for the week OR can feel like a completely daunting task (which is not in any way feeling soft!). Likewise maybe Iâll just batch cook a bunch of vegetables to have on hand to incorporate into other dishes. Itâs all about finding whatâs most helpful & in flow for you.
Thanks for the video đ«¶đœ
AND ALSO: devotion vs disclose. Thatâs my new motto. đ
I absolutely love the "devotion instead of discipline" †change of perception, 100% resonated
Much needed. Thank you! đđŒ
Iâm glad you explained what âsoft lifeâ meant. I didnât actually understand that phrase
Jillzzzz, that socks all over the floor part. lol â€
thank you so much for posting these videos, you have helped so many people đžđ
thank you!
Hello Jillz, thank you for another helpful video ( as always) †i was wondering if you could make a video about attachment styles and especially the anxiety one and how it does impact our relationship with people. Sending love â€â€
Iâll make this in the future after I learn a bit more about them! đ
Thank you Jillz, wonderful as always! â€

For so many years I've been told that taking care of my health the way I want to (extra vitamins, essential oils, skin care, clothes) physically is selfish. So as a result I look and feel like crap. I decided to start this journey by investing in taking care of my body physically so my mental wellness follows and thrives.
Love this!
Devotion â€
Awesome đ â€
Thank you so much n ily sm đ

Thank you for another great video and some wonderful, inspirational advice. Wishing you a great week ahead đ„°
Is there any tip for introverts, a way to be happy in workplace and university. Like even if the place is happy and all. I get so exhausted from all the social interactions in university. Even tho I don't interact too much, I feel exhausted and hence ends up in a bad mood.
You need to turn these into podcasts ĂĄudios! I would love to listen on the go! đ
I know that this doesn't work for everyone's budget but with youtube premium you can download and listen offline and I love that perk of it.
