Yes!! My freshman just started high school sports and the practices and games will take up so much of our time. I’ve had to have more make ahead meals that can be heated up whenever by whoever is home. This video helped me feel like less of a failure when things aren’t consistent. Thank you!
Thank you Amanda, that helps. I’ve thought I wasn’t consistent for the longest time, but now that I look at it this way, my changes might be mostly seasonal.
Thank you for this! Great timing. My top habits are devotions, prayee journalling and biking on my stationary bike, all of these are in the morning. However after a vacation and getting sick with Covid totally out of sink and energy. Prior to the vacation work was very demanding and dealing with stress so my vacation was supposed to be my reset! Lol
Great video! As a sahm, I find that seasons of the year affect and impact my habits moreso than seasons of life. For example, I find it hard to build a walk outside daily habit when I get two days in with great weather and then it starts to rain just at the point of day when I was otherwise energized to go out and get it done. When it rains the rest of the week, I find a way to exercise indoors, but that desire to go outside and do it as we move towards Christmas and it's even colder/more icy/snowy out goes out the window. In contrast though, my reading habits improve drastically as weather starts fitting the mood. Cozy corner of the couch, an afghan, a cup of hot tea or hot chocolate...perfection!
I loved this video! It makes so much sense. I especially loved the example of changing what you wear with the weather. I downloaded your printable, and I am very excited to use it! Just another reason I am loving breaking away from set goal setting systems to start doing what works best for me right now.
Great refreshing & positive video! A good motto is , then you give yourself permission to be flexible and not feel you've given up or are losing a thing. A closely related theme in fitness and learning is , by doing just a 5min e.g. yoga session as described in the video. It keeps the muscle memory active & gives the mind the reward of saying "I did it", not "I didn't do it", which is like admitting you have lost control & brings shame (which is aversive & makes you feel like disengaging with that activity). Then when the weekend rolls around and you have time to do a full session, you don't have to scratch around looking for your gear or forget your program, or get in that toxic mindset of "oh I fell off the routine I might as well give up". Linked strongly to the phrase "I do xyz, I'm an xyz-er". If you don't say that to yourself or others it's harder to stick with a routine. Bite sized sessions allow you to say that, but stopping completely is a barrier to self belief.
Thank you, Amanda, for bringing to the “front of” my mind the need to adapt habits before I am utterly frustrated and unhappy. So often, we bang our heads too long before just adapting for the season 🌷
I love this. My women's bi le study group did a home management study over the summer. We loved it so much that we are doing more of it after the new year. I think I am going to incorporate this into our part 2!
Great video. I love the topics you made videos about lately. I try to keep the daily habit of reading. One of my habits is daily reading but right now I'm in a very stressful period in my life and it doesn't seem like its going to end soon. I find myself too stressed to focus on books and enjoy myself. But this might be a good time to embrace the habit of journaling, since I have a lot of emotions and thoughts to process.
It’s really hard for me to deal with scheduling the things I need to do for me. Every summer I struggle. Even now with older kids. I feel like I’m making excuses but I don’t know how to work around all the variables of summer. I lose sight of what I need to do to take care of myself. Days are so long. This might be exactly what I need to strategize. I’m a Creature of habit that drowns in summer spontaneity. Thank you ❤
All of your videos are helpful but this one is almost life changing. I haven't given enough attention to keeping my habits during change. My most important habits are morning walks & planning out my food.
I think you are remembering the download you can purchase from Sprouted planner. She has that end of life download which I have mentioned in a video before;)

Of course Renee, I’m glad it came at the right time and was helpful.

You got this! Once we figure out what we need to do...then the door is open;)

You have had a go of it with vacation and then covid! I am glad this video was helpful for getting back into the habits you love:)

Makes total sense! And for me it's the summer walks I want to throw the towel in on!

I love that we’re both on the same vibe with goalsetting-it’s fun to hear all your thoughts and hear what you’re doing!
Great refreshing & positive video!

Awesome tips that we all need reminders of! Thank you:)

So true! Very good way of summing it up!

Oh, wow! What a compliment! Thank you Cynthia:) Best wishes for a wonderful year of study with your group:) Women need women:)

Thank you for sharing that habit change.What a good example of how we have to be flexible and flow with our lives and how we are feeling:)
Amanda, brilliant analogy with the jacket! 😳🤯 Thank you so, so much. I'm grateful for you!
Aw, thanks Courtney:)

I think having kids home in the summer is such a perfect example of why we have to evaluate each season!
This video could not have come at a better time for me! THANK YOU
I am so happy it was helpful!
Thank you for this video. I personally needed to hear this❤❤❤
Aw, thank you Kim! I am so glad it was helpful! This ended up being one of my favorite videos of all time here on my channel.
All of your videos are helpful but this one is almost life changing. I haven't given enough attention to keeping my habits during change. My most important habits are morning walks & planning out my food.
Wow! Thank you for letting me know how helpful this video was for you:) We have 2 of the same habits that we value!
My 3 most important daily habits are scripture study/writing, reading nonfiction, and connection with others. Thanks for your inspo!
Thanks for sharing!!
Such a great video. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it:) Thanks!
I would have to actually get good at doing a habit before I can think about changing it LOL
Oh, Sarah:) LOL! xxx That is true!
Amanda, you reviewed a planner that contend funeral preparation and I don’t remember the name of the planner.
I think you are remembering the download you can purchase from Sprouted planner. She has that end of life download which I have mentioned in a video before;)
