As a teacher, I can tell you this is 100% true with paper texts. Your brain does not store information obtained through digital texts the same way. I think there is something about the fact that we subconsciously know we can just look it up easily again on our phones, and this plays a part in our lack of processing the information into our long-term memory. Paperback books and texts invoke more senses when we are making memories, and therefore more effective.
This makes good sense to me
I found that I wasn’t receiving revelations about the word when listening to the Bible App, I went back to the paper Bible.
My sister is also a teacher and she recommends the following book (NOT the KINDLE version lol): "Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World" Aug. 27 2019 by Maryanne Wolf.
My sister says that the first half is a more difficult read because it is the brain physiology/chemistry backing info for the second half of the book that goes into the details of how, not only our comprehension but also our ability to EMPHATHIZE is being physiologically removed from our brains at a young age because of the exposure to digital reading.
It is quite frightening to realize where we are headed, if we don't return to training our brains in more healthy ways. M
I am so grateful for finding Dawn, and now Diana. You feel like my secret sisters. Thank you for being so much fun! and you are right there any time of the day or night to lift my spirits.
Ladies, I want to tell you both that I had a meeting with my MIL and all my SIL on my husband’s side of the family today and we got our family Christmas all figured out! This has NEVER happened. It’s always been last minute and no one has ever been on the same page. I brought a print out of your minute to win it games and we are playing all 3. They loved it. We even got gifts sorted out and food all planned! I am so thrilled and extremely excited for Christmas this year. ❤ 🎄🌟
This is so awesome!! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas together!
Where do you get the print out of the games?
That's my question too, how can I find the games print outs?
That’s awesome! Great job!
@Sanctified1ne
Where can we get the print outs? Thank you.
Diana!!! If possible, please video the dance and share it. I love seeing these.
Diana’s top=pumpkin spice, Dawn’s top= Neapolitan ice cream---both so cute!
Hi Dawn and Diana- I have following Sundays- Faith and Simple Living- thank you so much for sharing your values. You are both a beautiful blessing to all of us. Thank you❤️
I was so happy to go through the planner......I dont have a hectic Christmas....2 kids, no family around so no events or extra presents but its still busy, I work in churches which adds to the plate, so now I feel much more ready too. I have calendars planned, I have food ideas and some gifts already bought. Thank you
Diana, you look great!
Thank you for all the wonderful Christ-centered inspiration.
You two crack me up. You can be so different but yet you have the twin thing where you just get each other. It’s refreshing to see and I love watching you both. What has really helped me is when you say it depends what season you are in. That takes away some guilt at times.
I LOVE the Indian culture! How fortunate to have the aunties come and spend quality time with family. During my college years, I was a nanny for an Indian family from New Dehli, India. They were so gracious and loving to me and the people around them. Please continue to tell us what you learn from them in cooking, traditions, parenting, etc. I know you must cherish them so much!
I have not had a Bible app. I find that to continue to feel motivated and encouraged in reading my Bible, I have to come up with a new plan or goal each year. This year I used a Bible reading plan 6 days a week and gave myself 1 day off. I also made it my goal to develop a morning routine that would allow me to ease into my day while still having my God time and getting started at a reasonable time to homeschool my kids. I find that I have to re-evaluate each year (or even each season) to make sure what I’m doing is still doable!
I once saw a quote by Martin Luther and it said something along the lines of, 'I have so much to do today that I must spend the first 3 hours in prayer.' Super convicting and yet motivating that we do need to make the time. We need what's most beneficial, not just what's easy.
I so love when you two get together! I enjoy your chit chat.
The kids are getting so big and they are gorgeous!!!
I loved the 5 days workshop, it was so helpful! And I felt like we got to visit all week. 💕
My 3rd baby just turned 1. It’s so crazy how fast they grow.
"third time parents are easier parents" yes! As an L&D/Postpartum nurse I can attest to this. Taking care of third time parents postpartum is so fun. I definitely learn more from them then they learn from me!
Lol! I was #6 in my family. My mother loved to tell people that when she had each baby, the postpartum ladies were allowed to stay in the hospital for approximately one week after their babies were born.
My mother had several nurse friends who worked in the hospital. She would ask them to come in every day so that she could get a nice back rub! I guess mom knew that she wouldn’t be having a vacation until the next baby was born so she took advantage of them!
@@nancyellen8006 lol! I love that! Especially as a l&d/pp nurse who likes to go the extra mile with the pampering for my Mama's ❤️
Love you two ladies together. So fun, twin time. Love it.
I just love the feel of a real Bible in my hands too ❤
When we had our third baby, the hospital staff was talking about how laidback our room was compared to the others on the hall 😂
It really helps to know what to expect and you just know what is truly important and what stress can be cast aside. ❤
Loved this, it is such a joy spending time with you girls ❤️
Love the Hour That Changes the World -- so great when your prayer life feels directionless and distracted. Excited to hear your discussion next Saturday.
Im so sad that I couldn't join the 5 day workshop but im super excited to watch the replays!!!!!! Having this new perspective on doing the holidays with little or no stress sounds amazing!!!!! Thanks for all your work Dawn and Diana!!! I am so truly blessed by all the resources that you both give us!!!!! Im learning so much!!! Cheering you on Diana with the gym!!!!
Together, you 2 are such fun!! anything we can do too 'have no other gods before us' is perfect ... thank you both!! I'm off for my 30 minute walk with God !! love from here xo
Thank you for this! At 60, I’m trying to embrace all the help my iPhone offers…BUT! While I dont spend enough time in my bible, I Do depend on my paper bible rather than an app. I spend a lot of time going backwards from whatever scripture I’m studying- to find the context and the background. I NEED to be able to flip pages back and forth. I agree that when reading from the Bible, or any book, the information does stay with me better.❤️🙏🏻
My brain Loves having alone time with me, anywhere, for a solid 4 hours. Just thinking about what I'm doing, or day dreaming and imagining how to step out towards dreams and goals. I think mom's with babies and women with retired husbands both have the challenge of care giving nearly 24/7
Yes totally paper Bible. Lately I struggle with this myself. I’m a mom of three too. New subscriber. I have been following Dawn. And seen many videos with you. Will be following along
We love you Diana! Thank you for all that you do!
You two are so fun together! ❤Diana you are such an enjoyable person and I really like hearing your opinions and facts about things and especially about your spirituality! You’re truly an inspiration. The mugs you chose for you and Dawn are so cute! Thank you for all that you share! 💕💕💕
Another example of the brain mapping information: Though my millennial kids were raised here, and they are very smart, they don’t have any idea where one part of the town or any street is in relation to any other because they have only ever looked at the area as tiny chunks on a GPS screen without any view of what is around them any further than the next turn. Without GPS they can’t get somewhere they don’t often go. I learned the area when we moved here 26 years ago by looking at a paper map, so my brain always knows where I am (N,S,E,W etc). So I’d assume you are correct that a physical bible the brain can map has certain advantages over an app
This is so true!!! 😅😅😅
You two are so great 👍 love love love your times together- sisters are a treasure 💖
This reminds me of my mentors "rules" that I started following. It's "easy." NO email until you have done the top 1-2 hours in the morning of what really matters. NO news, NO social media, NO notifications on your phone and you can not do any of those until you 'work day" (however you define that) is DONE. No email at night or weekends. Literally this is what I've mostly done for the last 2 or so years and it's been a mental game changer. It basically "contains" those items to where you can't do them outside a narrow window of time and contains the squirrel brain because if you can't do email/social/news throughout the day, you actually do THINGS of any importance. :) He actually is a Christian and says we should spend the first 1-2 hours of our day reading pre-Gutenburg material (the Bible, or anything that has survived that long, must have a long standing amount of wisdom to offer.) He's also really big into asking God "What do you want me to know?" and you write that question down and literally unedited, write down everything you are hearing.
So much wisdom here! Thank you for sharing ☺️💛
I am already doing the Bible in the morning, but I really need to implement the rest. It’s tricky since I have gotten so used to using the phone for Every reminder, I try to put it on do not disturb and leave it in the other room and it seems like barely 10 minutes goes by before I need it or working on something.
5 years ago we started low carb, lost weight slowly, but no more brain fog, no more yo yo, up and down. Feel so much better! Easier to shop eat mostly veggies and meats. We do not do sugar, processed foods or additives. I am going to make a Bundt cake recipe for the holidays, and I am trying to find a keto version for me and my family that does low carb.
so warm and cozy when the two of you come together 💖🥰
Beautiful from beginning to end. You two are the best 🙏
I love to walk outside also, but a few weeks ago we had an extended time -- many days-- of bad weather(when tropical storm Ian was passing by).
So I found a sweet lady on UA-cam that leads some step dances based on different amounts of time, step counts and music genres. It's a great alternative for bad weather. I cast the iPad video up onto my tv, turn up the volume and then dance around my living room.
I think her channel is called "Brand Fitness"
Of course as soon as the sun came back out, I was ready to walk outside again. But I kept it in mind for this winter when it gets snowy out. 😉
Thank you so much! I love all the ideas that you both have and share. I think I need to start walking. God bless you both and nt your families.
Such a good video. You two are a dynamic duo.
Holy schnieky! No wonder computer time is exhausting.
I love the quiet reading Bible coffee times. No multitasking, turning pages, hot coffee. We need more slow times
Reading a paper Bible resonates with me and I have written down a few snippets in my journal as well. However, I have been watching videos on note taking and I thought, “Why not take the note taking from our Bibles up a level as well?” So as I read my daily passage(s), I might take a certain subject, say grace, and write out the related verses on an index card. I keep similar cards together for review and It has been helping me to get foundational knowledge in that subject. The cards can be filed alphabetically and can be referred to easily in the future. Bless you on your continued efforts to help us.
all done with Christmas
Thank you for sharing this with us. Love listening to you both. 💕NonnaGrace
Love the mugs! Subtle seasonal flair 👏🌲
I read The Hour That Changes the World recently and loved it. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it too! My copy was a gift from my kids. For Christmas, they bought a book I wanted and the guy threw in the Hour book for free and I was so glad he did!
Individually and separately my day is brightened by both of you.
Hi ladies 🤗 I have so enjoyed both of your U tube channels! You are both such a blessing to your families and everyone that our Heavenly Daddy brings you in contact with! Thank you for spreading His love and encouragement and planting so many seeds! 🪴
Thank you also for everything that you are doing to put such important topics, info on your channels! You both have helped me incredibly and I know that you have helped so many others!!!😀 Could you please let me know how to watch the 5 day Christmas workshop? I signed up for it before it started and placed my email on the info signup page but have not received how to view it, ( I do not have Facebook) Thank you again for all that you are both doing! I am praying for ALL of our Heavenly Daddy’s blessings to pour down on both of you and your families!!🤗
Thank you so much to both of you wonderful ladies!! I’m now using Bible Recap with two other friends. It is wonderful!! I have implemented several of your ideas. I have so many more I want to slowly add into my daily life. Thank you for sharing your faith. 💖
Diana, your walk and devotion time plan sounds so perfectly lovely. 😅 If I don't use the Bible app I'd never get any Bible reading in, but one day I would like to have a more ideal devotional time.
You two are just darling, love the pretty sweaters, cups and new pillows. I will have to finally go to Home Goods, never been there. I love my 'paper' readings and not digital, and I also have to write on paper notes and on a real calendar, along with putting things in my phone. My kids are all grown up, and we just do one Chinese fun gift and get together and play games and eat. We do buy one thing for our little grands, but that is it. Family time is so imporaant and the reason for Christmas. Thank you for your channel. Blessings.
Good Morning Ladies...
Thank you both so much for the Inspiration to get out and walk..
I live in Oregon which the weather is Beautiful and has also gotten colder..
God Bless You Both...
💗🙏👍 💗🙏👍
Love your shirt, Dawn!
Soooo, did you end up with Dawn's coffee? 🤣I was like, wait, her mug was green! lol I love you two! Thanks for sharing.
Plank 😂😂😂
Beautiful and Inspiring video once again. Thank you u2
Thank you for all your hard work it’s been a really great. I’ve watched it all in last two days as it didn’t come through emails and by the time I realised it was Friday. I have left several messages on the different days xxx
Just signed up for co-pilot! I work from home, and need some action-oriented, social interaction. The holidays are not an issue as we have no family nearby, so undertaking this type of endeavor right now. Thanks, Diana.
Hey can you tell me how much it cost after the free month. Thanks
Uhhh third baby is the best! Signed third and best.
I just started up a personal scripture study again and I have grabbed my physical scriptures as I know if I use my phone, I won’t focus.
That makes Soo much sense, paper Bible! I can find familiar verses in the Bible that I'm not exactly sure of the exact chapter, verse by " location". That concept that our brain maps it by location really makes sense!! Love paper Bible, books, etc... But I'm also older! 😉. Love you two!
When meditating it's helpful if you do it everyday at the same place at the same time. You set your mind up to do the same thing and will be receptive more easily. I think it applies to everything. Then even 5 or 10 minutes will make a difference.
May set timer on your phone whenever to read your bible. And do other chores to stay on time
Thanks for the advice on reading a paper Bible. I would agree with you.
I would love to have a couples bible reading plan.
No way I'm walking before "coffee".........lol. I sit down "with" my coffee and read my devotional and bible then walk.
Wow, love the Bible idea. I have struggled with the app. Get distracted to easy.
I love Dawn's shirt! Where is it from?
Completely agree about the paper Bible is better than digital.
I bought the pumpkin spiced coffee from Target & finally read the directions on the bag. If you use 2 Tablespoons coffee & pour over 12 oz. Boiling water, it makes the best pumpkin spiced coffee. I use evaporated milk & half & half as a creamer, but it really doesn’t need sweetener. I was going to make the sweet cream from Natasha’s kitchen, but didn’t need it.
My third child arrived.....15 mins before my 4th child lol! I have to admit - their first year was kind of a blur! (I have have girl / boy twins)
I start after Christmas and get the great markdowns. I don't have to worry much .planning to scale down .The inflation, has a lot of ppl scaling down .
I love when you two get together, it feels could I'm home with my sisters. I only really shop for my husband and my two early twenty year old daughters. The girls really only want and need cash, my husband has every tool his little heart can want. So this year it's just stocking stuffers and cash, easy peasy,,did some shopping yesterday and only need my husband now.. Think a grill, ours is hanging on by a thread, and he loves to bbq, but only goes for the cheapest, we will see. I feelmorecrelaxed about this Christmas, hope I can keep the progress going on decluttering, decorating and menu planning.
Love the mugs.
Amen! 💜
love this
I have the planner. Where do I re-watch the planning videos? I signed-up, but there is nothing in my inbox or junk.
Great video!
May I ask what bible does Dawn recommend or use?
❤️
Diana where did you get your sweater??
Why did Diana switch to using Dawn’s mug?
Ha!
I cannot do as well on test on the computer as I do with paper and pencil.
My third child was the hardest.
Can I get the links when I am watching on my phone? I can’t seem to find them.
Not done with video but I just love your mugs!!! ☕️ where did you get those?!
She said Target
Thank you! I caught that at the beginning when I restarted the video later.
How do I find the planner? How do I view the shows I missed? I wish I had a way to print it, but just being able to read it would be great.
This website has the planner AND will help you see the workshop you missed: dianakokku.com/linkinbio
Where can I find the 5 day workshop?
Here you go! awesome-builder-9987.ck.page/4afe0062c5
Intermittent fasting changed my life. I eat all the foods I love... just in a specific time period. As a post menopausal woman at age 54, I have lost 27 lbs since April and on average fast 19 or 20 hours a day. I started by just skipping breakfast. It is true food freedom. See Fast. Feast. Repeat. By Gin Stephens for more encouragement.
Diana, thank you so much for saying to keep last 3 months worth of emails. I am embarrassed to say that I had thousands of emails. I just dealt with ones I needed to at the time as needed. Big procrastinator here. I spent at least an hour deleting and unsubscribing. Thank you for that great idea. Still need to continue deleting now.
I pay for a trainer just so I’ll go to the gym 🤦♀️ I know what to do when I get there BUT I won’t go unless someone is making me
Diana baby brain
🥀🌺🌹🙏🌹🌺🥀
Being You and Dawn were personal trainers in the past why don’t you use each other as motivation and being accountable? Is it because you are too close to each other and know how to manipulate each other 😂😅
I love you guys. I wanted to grab a hair tie and put Diana's hair up in a pony tail because she looks so uncomfortable the way she keeps trying to fix her hair. Just be yourself. Don't worry about the hair.
I live in Canada for 18 years and I just learned to LOVE my winter walks♡ absolutely to try, Dawn 🧊
Thanks. Diana and Dawn!
When Diana said "planks", Dawn's face! 🤣 Thanks ladies...always a joy spending time with y'all!
Her eyes! 😂
My mom named me Joy because a good friend of hers said “Your third child is always a joy.”
I totally agree with your Mom, Joy! My third child was late in life and he’s such a GIFT❤
I love what you’re saying about needing to get back to paper Bible’s. I feel like I have been realizing more and more that part of my faith journey is about discipline and recognizing that as much as our culture idolizes making this easy and convenient my relationship with the Lord is not something that should need to be given short cuts or “made easier”. Making time and space for God and His word is something I want to approach with joy and recognition for the gift that it is. Thank you for the encouragement today. Love you both🥰
Pure joy! I wish there was a way I could let you two know how much you have blessed and inspired me… from Scotland, with so much love & gratitude #joy
I’ve also just signed up to co pilot using your link, and got the Bible re cap book you suggested… and minimalists my whole house over last two years… helps with my long covid ♥️🙏🏻🎁
Aww, this is so sweet, Emily… glad we’re on the journey together! And keep me posted on how the personal training goes!!! 💪💛
Clutter Bug Cass said, "what did you do in 2022?" She pointed out that 2022 is NOT over so why not add something amazing to your list of accomplishments? For some reason, this is really resonating with me and I'm going to workout our get my steps in at least 4 times a week until January! And then I can say I started moving my body in 2022 and started a habit. I know Diana bringing a new life into the world makes this sound silly but it'll be a real achievement for me.
Every day, I hear your coach saying "any excuse will do" and you saying "if it were easy, everyone would do it." I also LOVE the idea of not missing two days in a row. I can totally do that!
While I don't share your religious beliefs, I really appreciate the intention with which you already your faith. For those who might be like me, I have to say this intentional living can be applied to so many aspects of life. Maybe it's not reading the Bible for me but reading some other thought provoking book. Or doing service for others.
Anyways, rambling now but I'm really thrilled that Diana is trying something new. I'm calling it a reverse new years resolution... It's for all those procrastinators out there who work so well under pressure... There's still time to do something amazing this year!
Thanks to you both for all your support and encouragement. I've been watching the Minimal Mom for years and I've enjoyed every single minute!
I am just SO THANKFUL for you two gals. So thankful. In gratitude for all you continue to do to make my life better, I’m putting you on my prayer list, so that I remember to pray for you each time I pray for all those on my list. Gif bless you two sweet gals!
