Yes please 😁
Yes please! I would very much enjoy a coaching session from you! Even though I quite recently discovered your channel through the flylady system and The Secret Slob, I very much enjoy your videos for inspiration, not only cleaning related. For my daily spark of joy, I try to go for a quick walk during my lunch break, put on music while doing household stuff and I really enjoy being on the phone (during Covid times...) or meeting people in person. Interacting with my loved ones gives me a lot of joy!
Yes, please. I'm just starting out with a daily routine. But have to go through a big decluttering of the whole house. Having 5 kids, the house looks a mess all the time. And we have way too much stuff! Luckily I have the sweetest husband, that takes care of me, of the housework and of our kids. He gives me time to myself, so I can have more energy for the kids.
YES please Diane I would 💖 love a coaching session with you. I am on day 4 of the 7 day routines challenge which is really helping me focus and establish those; I haven’t until now. Today I am going to PLAN a long mindful walk as I love walking but don’t factor it into my day, so it sometimes doesn’t happen and I do miss it. Thank you 😊 for all your upbeat & insightful videos 🧚🏻♀️
You always inspire me to take care of myself. Yes please, I would love a counseling session. Pick me!
For a simple escape my husband and I like to get a travel type video from the library (or record a show from a PBS channel) find a recipe for a meal from that region. We make a new recipe together and then enjoy the sights of our fantasy vacation over dinner. lol💐 Jokingly call it spin the 🌎 world. lol Have a great week. ❄️⛄
Happy Monday! What I like about being on vacation is I leave the 'shoulds' behind. "I should sort those boxes" " I should get on the paperwork" " I should go pull weeds" "I should" "I should " I should"!
When you are on vacation you CAN'T organize the tools. They aren't there. You CAN'T do paperwork. It's not there. My free time feels truly free.
Exactly!
Yes please! I actually get away from it all when I am shovelling snow by moonlight. I can sometimes with dishes or hanging laundry, but shovelling is the best for that.
Yes please! As a mom of three young kids I have found intentional stretching in addition to my exercise “snacks” through out the day have made a lot of difference to how I feel. My back aches from carrying a baby all day and being on the floor with the other kiddos and stretching for a minute here and there really just resets me!
Please, keep doing this, because as you get older, all those things are harder. If i don't take the time to stretch in the morning, everything hurts all day!
I would love a coaching session. I joined a Pilates club in March when I turned 70. I set a goal of 400 classes in a year . I will complete it early in a week.
I took a class over zoom that I have been wanting to take for years. This experience definitely took me out of my comfort zone. I just registered for another class. Thank you for your continued inspiration Diane.
I just started reading Mansfield Park by Jane Austen. I have never read any of her books. Wow! I love the writing. My bestie gave it to me for Christmas and I gifted her a gift card to a bookstore lol. We pass each other books too. Reading is like traveling in the comfort of your own home.
Oh my gosh! This is the book I am reading right now too that I plan to dive into daily! Jane Austen is one of my favorite escapes- the biggest problems are things like how they are going to have a ball when there is “no suitable room in the house”! 🤣😂
Mansfield Park is the only novel of Jane Austen I haven't read yet! Thank you for reminding me! :)
I live all her books💜enjoy!!!
@@jenniferferrence So true! I am loving it.
Hi Diane. I've been feeling a bit swamped lately. Trying to keep my chin up. I love listening to your videos both old and new. Such a pick me up. I'd of course love to win the coaching session with you. You are a great cheerleader for us all! Thank you.
Yes, please! Mindful shower and lotion for my dry winter skin. I’m also looking forward to dinner- Tokyo beef and rice bowls with broccoli!
I’m viewing this more than a year and a half after you first posted it, but I find that it’s just the clarifying spark I need to begin this week in the way I want to. I’m going to add one of my favorite quotations, by Henry Thoreau: If a (person) advances confidently in the direction of (his) dreams, and daily endeavors to live the life (he) has imagined, (he) will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
As always, thank you for the work you do!
Yes, please Diane! I try to read every day for a half hour or so when I have my lunch. I read fiction mostly and it transports me to another place and time. Very relaxing and I look forward to it each day.
What beautiful love birds... I have black cheeked love birds who are nuts... and a very old parrotlet ... I rescued a fantailed dove last month and set it free last week . It had been following me around the kitchen for two weeks and sat on the window sill whilst I washed dishes. It was glorious watching her fly off into a very blue sky.... That's so uplifting.... I lost my rescued Bourke parrakeet in November Mr. Pinks was 14 years old , blind and had been left behind at a bird auction 12 years ago ... Birds are joyous. So are cats....
HI Diane, this is so true about living for the next high day and holiday. I really have not gone anywhere for so long that I realize I am living for the next vacation which may not happen for a while due to the virus. You are so right about living for the here and now. I just need a change of scene I think like go to the beach just for the day. I love the beach scenes you posted. Today I am going on a walk to get away from it all. Yes please!
Yes please! I added reading each morning to my morning routine. While the house is quiet, my little one is still sleeping, I can read uninterrupted for 20-30 minutes each day :)
Yes, please! Today I'm going to put on my snow boots, then traipse about my yard and get in touch with nature. I haven't done that yet this season and it's way past time.
I love getting outside daily, Lisa - great one to add!
Yes please. I love the sound of your weekend simple living escape. Sounds heavenly. I’m trying to keep a gratitude journal, and enjoying it too. Must get back to reading too. Xx
Yes please, murder mysteries is my thing. Intentional outings with hubby. Love you videos. A bright spark in my day.
Yes, please, I would very much appreciate a free coaching session with Diane in Denmark! I will be getting back into crafting. Just little projects to dip my toes back into the creative pool. Have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you for getting me hooked on Father Brown! That is my escapism for sure.
Oh, that's brilliant, Beth - Father Brown is one of my fave ways to decompress! LOL!
Yes please to coaching session! I love a good podcast, they really take me away from the day to day routine!! Xx
Yes, please! I recently started adding tea time (or sometimes coffee time) to my afternoons. I'm American and this is a new habit for me. It's fun to have a little break!
My daily water aerobics class takes my away from household responsibilities, plus they play my oldies favorites for the workouts. Our neighbor’s cat visits us every day, too! I try to make everyday special.
I also do water exercise each day here in Fl even if it gets cold... When I miss a day it resets my day.
Yes please! You are such a blessing. Today I’m getting over being sick, and it’s a slow process getting my energy back. Something that gives me motivation is watching ladies on UA-cam. Something that helps me relax and feel refreshed is spending time with my family. We have 8 kids and they are just the biggest blessings. Today we played a board game. ❤️
Yes to a free coaching session please! Guys need your help too 🙏😁🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Yes Please! I love to have a bath with candles lit, sometimes I listen to a downloaded tv sitcom during it, a podcast, spa music, or even read a book!
Good morning Diane 🌸. Thank you for a bit of inspiration for a Monday. I always love to see your clips from Sweden. The ocean is so calming. This time of year the wild parrots visit our neighborhood. I like to open my kitchen windows and hear their morning song. It’s a lovely start to the morning.🌞🌷🐾
Yes please! Having to go in lockdown due to covid for the last week and a half, there is not much to do as we are limiting our contact with friends and family. Decided to do an online breakout game with friends and family through zoom and had so much fun!!!! I even dressed up, curled my hair and put makeup as this was my big night out! It was nice to have a social activity with friends/family even though we were all in our own homes. Enjoy watching your videos.
That sounds like fun! What exactly is a breakout game? Probably a fad that I’ve missed… :-)
Well done, Francine!
I’m going to be working on a quilt today! Sewing is my escape. I forget everything, and am totally in the moment. I would love a private coaching session.
Yes, please. I add joy by painting my nails. Seeing my pretty hands is a reminder of simple joys no matter what else may be happening.
Yes please! I agree with you that music can instantly lift your mood. I find doing the housework much less of a chore when I'm listening to something that makes me smile and dance around! ☺️
Yes, please. We are just recovering from illness and being able to start my lol today gave me joy. That, and being able to pray again.
Yes, please! I'm with you on the reading. It's essential to my wellbeing. I also like to have segments of time that are totally silent, being fully present in those moments. I find it very refreshing.
I haven’t tried winter bathing (yet) but I do go outside in the winter snow in my bare feet. It truly does help to change one’s mindset. I am really enjoying your videos. Thank you for your inspiration! 🌸
Yes Please and I am adding daily gratitude and prayer by writing them in a notebook,
Yes please! I'm almost 8 months pregnant and have definitely hit the "nesting" stage. I've been mostly enjoying getting my apartment in order, but I've also been making sure to set aside time to work on my baby registry and enjoy thinking about having my baby or just sit and feel her move. ❤️
Yes please. I enjoy 1940sUKradio as the music is morale boosting. Sure felt like we were in a war on covid and that music made me hit ‘the homefront’ of reduce, reuse, recycle and we can do this! Rah rah rah
Hello dear Diane, I would like to enter the competition! Currrently I enjoy making sudoku’s in my candlelit livingroom, under a blanket, while listening to beautiful classical spanish music (goyescas). And my free daily yogalesson as part of a 30-day challenge from Adriene, also on youtube. Thank you for your inspirational videos!
Yes, I would like a coaching session! Thank you for offering this to your listeners. What I do for a nice break is to take a short drive. When I get home I am refreshed & ready to tackle a project. Looking forward to reading all the ideas.
My way of feeling better is following your clean and declutter tips. I feel very overwhelmed by my home. My partner is away in a few weeks and I have taken a few days off to be ruthless with clutter. I also feel overwhelmed by the amount of food I have in my house. Half the stuff my partner can not eat as he has stomach issues after covid, so I have to eat it all. Today I’ve been throwing away (I know - I hate food waste 😞😵💫) old jars full of dried beans that I bought years ago but won’t and don’t eat. My motto now is to streamline the food I buy. Luckily I’m not someone who particularly enjoys trinkets or stuff. But thanks to you I am getting into a routine ☺️❤️❤
Yes please Diane! I would love a coaching session. I like going for a run to clear my head, walking my dog and crafting.
Yes please! I enjoy my living room, that is very calm and quite clutterfree. It took a long time to come to this "vacation feeling" at home, but now I enjoy it!!!
Yes please! I am just starting seeds for my garden this week so I’m very excited to have that “get away” back in my life!
Yes please Diane. I would love a session with you!
I am adding happiness by a weekly walk with a friend and prioritising my reading. Keeping up with my routines keeps me happy too x
Yes 👍 please. I’m an avid reading too. What helps me is a book and a cup of tea. Thanks for sharing the waves.
Yes please! We watch our favourite fiction every evening Monday to Friday, it lasts half an hour and is something fun that the children and I look forward to in work/school days.
Reading about intrinsic motivation. Have decided to stop worrying about weight, exercise and more. At 70, it's time to enjoy life more. All decluttered. Do the routines.
YES PLEASE!!! One of my good friends used to tell me often, “Shaylyn, don’t wish your life away…” I try to include a little hygee in all my daily tasks and that really makes difference. 🥰. I’m definitely a work in progress…but I am very relentless so I will never give up! ☺️ You are a true blessing to all of us challenged fly babies that are determined to improve our lives. ❤️😊🙏🎉
Yes, PLEASE, I would like, NEED, some coaching sessions! I am retired, living in a HIGH count Omicron COVID area, and having ANOTHER hard time!
Yes please! I’m going to read 15 minutes at least of my book. I already did a 20 minute yoga flow and 22 minute meditation upon awakening. Woohoo good day for me! I’ll be working the rest of my day but I’ll also be sure to get an episode of Witcher in tonight w/tea or hot chocolate. If I’m really aiming high maybe a salt bomb bath before bed; I mean if I’m on a roll why stop?!
There is nothing more relaxing that the sound of waves🌊🤗
Yes, please! I'm trying to figure out how to be more lighthearted and add fun to my mundane day so that I can share joy with my children.
Yes, please. I'm trying to add more creativity into my days, have lost that part of myself through the years with kids.
Yes please! I’d love a coaching session! I’m planning a career change and one of the reasons why is because I want to find a better balance in my life. I’m toying with the idea of scheduling crafting sessions each night of the week to make sure I do something creative each day! 🎀
Yes PLEASE! I would love to be entered to win a session!🎉
Thanks for the reminder (isn’t it crazy we need to be reminded to look around?).. I forget to just breathe and LOOK.. sometimes I stop on my walk and turn off my music and just take in my surroundings. And I am trying to remember to smile when I do this.. I’m so serious when walking 🙄🤪! You are so right… it is the little things. “Some day”, “soon”, “if only” are a waste..,thanks for the reminder to do it now.❤️
Love your channel and the instructions and inspiration…
Yes please.
Diane your discussion really hit home. For over 25 years I have spent my birthday (January) in a hotel room for 2 nights, nothing special, usually within 20 minutes from home. Why? The absolute peace I get when I enter the room and shut the door. No physical clutter, no mental clutter, absolute bliss. My new year starts, not on the 1st January, but on the 22nd, when I feel revived and ready to face anything.
Covid messed with my usual routine for 2020/2021/2022, so yes please, I would love a 1:1 with you.
Yes please, Diane! Thank you for including video of the ocean waves, it was such a refreshing reminder. I'm adding in journaling during my twins' naptime for my self care. Something I used to do frequently that I've fallen out of habit of doing.
Yes please 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️ I have struggled for a loooonng time with implementing routines and systems, even before I had 3 kids (daughter is 16, two boys ages 7 and 10, my 10 y/o with Autism Spectrum D/O). I am a HUGE overthinker, to the point where I shut down and “can’t” do anything. I’m definitely better than I was years ago but mostly just feel I’m spinning my wheels. ***As far as incorporating more joy into my day, I’m also trying to read more. I’d also like to get back into calligraphy which was a childhood/teenage hobby of mine. As a self-proclaimed taskmaster and to-do list “checker-offer” 😆 it is hard for me to take time for myself since I’m “not getting anything done!” Thank you for your videos; I love how you ground us and help us balance our lives in a healthy, holistic way ❤️🙏🏻😊
Yes, please! I chill by sitting in front of the fireplace on cold nights. I don't know why sitting in front of the fireplace gives me joy, but it does.
Hi from AZ, love the blouse on you. I have reduced my time on social media..I was spending way too much time on computer that was non productive after I have watched the 3 people I like to follow( you are #1 for me, love your posts!) Falling down the rabbit hole became a burden, so much time gone by in no time at all. I spend an hour on one day a week to watch and then off. its really been liberating. Much love to you from us
Dear Elizabeth, I must really get to grips with social media. I spend waaay too much time surfing and watching. Well done for taking control. xx
Yes, please! I have been enjoying your upbeat personality and encouragement for several months now. I’m a bit older (71), but I’ve been trying to incorporate the Fly Lady system and develop routines in my life. I would love to get some one-on-one coaching. There are so many things I want to do, but getting things “done” prevents me from starting. Thanks for being a bright spot in the day!
Yes please. Trying to live in the moment, be present with what I’m doing, finding joy in each moment, task. Enjoying your channel, thank you!
Yes, please. I am adding joy in 2022 by taking a walk in the fresh air every day no matter the weather (motivated by you, Diane). I am also treating myself to fresh flowers every week.
Yes please, 😊You are so on point Diane! I think when we are in the thick of it raising our families we don’t appreciate them day to day because of the stress. I totally agree that scheduling your happy time is important. I plan on making music a part of my day from now on.
Oh! Yes please to coaching!
I took my husky dog, Astrid out for a chilly 30 min walk. I love taking walks, it’s so good for me and she is a much better doggy if she gets a daily walk. And of course she loves it too! There’s a farm nearby that we can check out some cows.
Yes please I would love a coaching session. I love reading, similar books to you actually & also one of my favourite things - to watch you! There is nothing better than meeting up with a friend though & I think we both find our day goes better after that.
Yes, please I would love to get a coaching session with you. It would be the present of all 💞 I adore you Diane! What an uplifting video!
Yes please I would love a free coaching session! Walking in the countryside with my friend and stopping in a field of sheep, sitting on a log with a flask of coffee! Bliss! Thanks Diane for all of your inspiration 🤗♥️
Yes please! Today I am tidying up my patio to make it a beautiful place to relax
Yes,please i would love your free coaching sesson with you!❤
I love to spend this cold days with my family and watch your motivation videos!Thanks 💐
Yes, please! I’ve started lighting candles and playing music while I do my morning and evening routines.
Yes please! I am going to play some Pokémon Go to recharge my batteries today. 💜
Yes please! I love the idea of making every day special. I love to get up early to have a cup of coffee and just enjoy the silence before the day gets started and everyone makes their way downstairs. I also have a small parrot (a Caique) and he too is still sleeping at that time.
Yes, please.
I watched this twice. Good things to think about. I think my "definition" of self care" needs to expand a bit...well maybe more than just a bit!!!
Yes Please. I'm smiling at myself in the mirror every time I go to the toilet, and say a little gratitude prayer.
Aww, brilliant idea!
I've done it for about 3 years now and it makes an impact, especially since I've had to practice how to create habits that are grounded in self love after a life time of pushing myself too hard. Systems like flylady have been a real trigger for the rebel protector in me, and now I'm ready to embrace the possibility for a system like this to be something healthy. It's a real challenge to not pull the band to far though, because I suddenly find myself binging your videos 😆 and wanting to do a dozen baby steps a day. 🙈
Yes Please! I am fortunate to have a hot tub that I can escape to daily, makes me very happy !
Love the sounds of waves! I'm knitting & enjoying mugs of tea :) Thanks for this video!!
Yes Please! Great points made - ill be more cognizant of why i am enjoying "time away" and bring that feeling home too
Life can be and most of the time is hectic but for me there's nothing more calming than hearing the waves. Just loved the place!
Great reflection and excellent advice! Thank you, Diane!
Oh, I forgot: yes, please!
Yes, please! I would love a coaching session! I like to make quilts so spending time in my craft room sewing away. That makes me happy!
Love the sound of those waves coming ashore. Makes me miss my home state on the Atlantic (Maine) all the way from land-locked Missouri!
Yes, please. You are such an inspiration! I watch your videos to add happiness to my life because I feel happier when I am making progress toward my goals
Yes please. Lighting the fire and snuggling down on the sofa to watch anything set in a less rushed era, Father Brown, Poirot or Foyle's war with a nice cup of tea or coffee. Simple pleasures.
Ooooo, all lovely ideas, Donna!
Yes, please! I'm adding happiness by trying to teach my children these skills now!
Yes please. It was great listening to you. Love love love your videos. Yes it is upto us how we would like to be happy. Being happy is a habit indeed. Gardening takes me away into a different world and I feel rejuvenated. And diy's and stitching too.
More Tweet and Sparky appearances, please! 💛
Yes, please! Ahhhhhhh, the sun on my face, the walk in my neighborhood, a little peruse in a book filled with art work and a cup of tea.....happiness 🥰 I want to plan it like I do my exercise, my FlyLady routine, my work, my healthy eating habits, my meditation on a daily basis. That is my intention for 2022!
Yes please: listening to music, going for walks, listening to the birds outside
Hi, Diane, nice to meet you for a cup of tea at 11 am … thank you for sharing and YES please. Funny love birds, they want to share their opinion, haha: please translate😉. I’m very good in escaping, better than in doing my routines. On a daily basis I read, biographies, with pleasure cozy crimes, have a walk on my own, enjoying the 'little things', do my cooking with radio music, mostly the 70ies, I have a little dance in the morning, I knit or crochet, 'helping' Inspector Barnaby or Miss Marple to solve their cases… and I sing. If I’m down, I always forget to sing, wishing the day is finally over… same with painting. That’s kind of strange, because both things help me the most. I know that feeling, being in a cottage, all is prepared and done… no pressure to do things I don’t like to do… no clutter. Sigh. I’ve ONE room left, where I start TODAY. Enjoy your swimming, fingers crossed, that I can join at Easter time at another place in Denmark! Love, Monika❣
Yes please!!! We are in the middle of the coldest period of winter so to cheer me up I have just started listening to more music at home and also got back to my twice a week home spa routine.
Yes please! I am going be looking for a new hobby and dancing more to relieve stress. Yesterday I randomly danced 💃🏾 while singing along to music and it was so fun and relaxing.🙏🏾🥰
I think you have hit the nail on the head here for me - lifelong messy girl (you're slowly bringing me out of that!) I have always said that my dream bathroom would be a hotel room style I.e. sleek, lots of cupboards, clear, elegant....now I see that it's the sense of calm I am after recreating and that is perfectly achievable for my whole house if I just put the effort in and work efficiently x
Yes please. Thank you for a chance. I am trying to feel happiness, even with the smallest of things like listening to the chirping birds, enjoying my big cup of green tea etc
Yes please. I am adding happiness by trying to choose clothes that make me happy, not just putting something on. Diane, thank you for the part of the video with the ocean. I grew up by the ocean in Calif. 1o min from the beach and after many years of marriage we now live in the lower mountains of Colorado. Big change. The sound of the ocean gave me chills of excitement. Thank you so much for that.
Yes please, Diane! I'm having trouble getting started again after the holidays, and the brutal Wisconsin winter is taking its toll on my energy & psyche.
Thank you for always inspiring me!
You're so right! Thank you for the video. 🌻
Yes please! I love that the little cat is so at home with you! ❤️❤️
Yes, please! I get up early in the morning to enjoy the quiet and a bit of me time before starting the day. :) Love your videos !
Hi Diane! Thanks so much for this video! Just what I needed. I'm just recovering from omicron & I feel EXTREMELY TIRED. Just needed a pick me up & ur calming n positive voice does wonders from me. Lovely video. Thanks a million 😊😍
God bless you 😊😍
Feel better!
@@pamelamueller538 thank you 😊
Yes, please. Thank you for the ideas to bring some joy to youre life. There are a lot ideas I wanna try. Now I have to find a way to really do it.
