    My habits are daily Bible reading, daily prayer, 15 minutes of general exercise, 15 minutes on my bike, and wash my face before bed. By the way Cass, I was at a garage sale of a crafter (I am a crafter/hourder) and I mentioned that I wanted so much more but I am a "BEE" style organizer and so I put back all the soft square cubbies because I need to see most of my stash or I forget where I put it. She got so excited and asked if I followed Cass too. I told her I do and we had a bit of a bonding moment. It was great, you've made a difference in both our lives.

    This is just what I needed! I have been feeling like I can’t stick to anything or change anything in my life. My small habits are to 1-short yoga and stretching every morning, 2- choose any snack that isn’t sugar, 3-read scriptures and pray, 4-floss everyday, 5-walk with my husband. Keep me accountable!!

      Yes!! I have a list of scripture I want to memorize, I work on it occasionally but I want to be much more regular with it. I already stack my habits- so for every chore I do, (I follow the Clean Mama method, so I have 5 daily chores) I will do an exercise (I make the bed, then I do lunges,. I do the dishes, then I do my bicycle crunches...etc. This has worked really well!!) So now after reading this, I've decided to stack memorizing a verse after each chore and exercise.
      My problem is that I am a work first-play later person, so I feel like I can't relax and work on my reading and writing scripture until I feel my chores are done. Even my exercises are like "play time", because those are like for ME, know what I mean? Thanks so much for sharing! It's giving me a new mindset. ;)

      Exactly!! I’m always wiped out for a few days after a trip. And you had a very extended trip. Plus you probably had dopamine overload while you were in New York and filming etc., and then you come home and have to regulate standard dopamine hits! It’s real stuff for ADHD. Get lots of sleep- rest- etc… you will be back to normal in no time at all. 💞💞💞

      I went to a New Year’s Eve party about 20 years ago and we played a game where everyone wrote down their New Year’s resolutions and then we had to guess who wrote which ones.

Unfortunately neither one of us have ever been good with sticking to things so im am hoping with all of you helping we can do 5 weeks of tiny changes and keep to it. I think we will start with cutting down to one soda a day, drink more water, exercise 15 mins, make a healthy dinner, and doing dishes everyday ... I hate that last one I would rather do laundry not a dishes person. lol

    Glad you’re ok after the yellow jacket attack! Their sting is vicious! Next time really monitor yourself since you were stung several times, & don’t just think you’re being dramatic if you feel the least bit off. My friend recently had to be taken by ambulance b/c of one or 2 stings. Also, crazy as it sounds, if you get one of those pump sprayers folks use in the garden ($5 or so at WalMart) & put a bunch of blue Dawn dish liquid in it with water (no exact ration, but a bunch of Dawn-like maybe 1/2 a cup or more), I promise you that you can kill wasps & other bugs instantly without harming yourself, your pets, or the kids. It works like magic! And stop beating yourself up. You have accomplished SO much & are such an inspiration-& hilarious! You’ve been on-the-go for months b/c of of the tv show & just life in general. I think it’s normal to have a period of coming down after such frenetic activity. Peace & love from Tennessee!

I just know that wasps & other critters like that will drop instantly. For mosquitos there are these little things you can put in bird baths & other standing water to kill the larvae.

And Today I was like I can’t do this anymore it just doesn’t move and get better!! I have no space and trying to keep things separate for people I know that want the stuff is HARD!! But I live where a lot of kids don’t get new things or have never had nice things so I can’t just make myself not care and drop it at the donation place that’s literally 1/8mile away now! We have places in our community called the giving box and it started for food but ours has turned into anything bc it’s covered by an old gas pump Top. So YES I NEEDED THIS TODAY!!!!!😘 Now to unbury my printer and try to change the ink to see if it will work again bc I’ve been putting that off for two months now😉😉 #tinyhabits #microchangesmatter #@clutterbugisamazeballs

I don't have trouble getting up early, I have trouble moving and doing ANYTHING after I get up. Today, I lazed around until 1:30pm IN THE AFTERNOON before I got in the shower and got started doing something productive. Other habits: walk 5 min per day (I can do that! It's just 5 minutes!), drinking more water (sounds like a universal need for most of us), Spend 5 min decluttering the bathroom (again, it's just 5 minutes, I can do that!), and wipe down the stove and counter daily.

    1 - Put the dishwasher on after dinner, 2 - Empty the dishwasher in the morning, 3 - Do yoga every morning, 4 - Do a 5 minute clean up every evening, 5 - Some kind of cleaning habit I haven't decided on 🙃

    I love the book, Atomic habits. I have made many things a habit over time, such as make my bed, fill and empty the dishwasher, track my food, clean daily toilets, sinks, and vacuum floors, wash and moisturize my face morning and evening.
    Now, I want to challenge myself to plan a healthy dinner, read for 15 minutes a day, write for 15 minutes a day, exercise for 20 minutes a day, and declutter clothes and items I don't use.

    Years ago I was at a the beach and gave a step back to throw a football and I stepped on a yellow jacket hive. yes, ouch, I got stung tons of times. My family saw me covered with them and began swatting me with towels. I wanted to go to sleep but no one would let me. It was a day to remember for sure.
    I hope you're feeling better Cas.

    What a wonderful idea, I'm in! I have soooo many things I need to work on, it will be tough to pick just 5 😉. Intentional exercise is a big one for me, cooking dinner, cutting back on caffeine, doing the dishes every day, etc. This video has now motivated me to set up my new printer (which has been sitting in a box for two weeks) so I can print up the list!

    Drinking water has been hard for me too, but what helped is a brought a “pretty” water bottle off Amazon and I’ve been infusing my water. Adding a slice of lemon or some other fruit has helped a ton. I’m doing much better.

    I have never been stung by a wasp, but when you said Yellow Jacket, I was like OMG!!!! I was stung by One many years ago and it was unbelievably painful! I'm glad you're ok!
    I've been reading for 21 minutes per day in 2021. It's going well. I'm in your course and was decluttering for at least 5 minutes per day. I did that for 82 days then stopped. I really need to get back to decluttering so my new goal is 15 minutes per day! Ready, set, go! 💃Thank you for all of your encouragement! Tammy in N AL, USA. 🙋‍♀️

    I can completely identify with your pain. I stepped in a nest of yellow jackets when I was in high school at a church youth group meeting. I remember I screamed and people started running toward me and I was telling them get away! It was terrifying and painful as heck.. I'm so sorry you had to go through that.

    I'm in!!! Doing the dishes every day is definitely on my list. I struggle with self-care, so showering at least every other day is on my list. Decluttering for 15 minutes a day... I'll have to give the other two some thought.
    Our dog found a yellow jacket nest in our yard two days ago. Poor baby was traumatized.
    You should have seen my expression when you said get up at 8:00 a.m.! I've already had a half pot of coffee by then. I 'slept in' today; I got up at 6:15 🤣🤣🤣

    I am a musician that has gone through this many times. I would have a spectacular international project, ground breaking work, only woman in the mix of great players , spend many months prepping, then the month or week actually doing it, accolades a plenty, thriving on no sleep and raw energy... and then home and have to clean a house, buy groceries, do the same thing over and over. So don't feel bad, you are doing what comes naturally as now you are recharging without a big goal to give you the adrenalin push. Time to reset. I learned to recognize the post-project-blues, and then reboot. :)

    So sorry to hear about your wasp stings! They are terrible! I have been stung in the past, my hand blew up, had to get a shot of Benadryl. My son was on the riding mower cutting the lawn and was cutting around a tree that had a nest in a hole in the bottom of the tree and they started chasing and stinging him! Had jumped off the mower and ran in the house! Later sprayed the hole with wasp spray! Viscious little guys! God bless, stay safe!🙏❤🐝

    OMG on your wasp story… My sister got me into JUST products, they are all made out of essential oils, I was kind of doubtful they would work. After using them I am sold! Now I keep an emergency kit for burns, itching (of a mosquito bite or wasp 🐝) a sore muscle (after exercise) they are great to have on hand, especially with kids around. You got me into the habit tracker… lately I have been having issues with my morning routine and feel “guilty” after oversleeping, so I am with you with the 8 a.m. routine! Let’s see how it goes 😣 thanks for sharing!

    I just bought that book a couple of weeks ago, so I'm with you, I'm working to set some new habits of my own. 1) Go outside for 10 minutes. 2) Drink more water. Like you, I have a big bottle, but not as big, I don't think, and my goal is 3 a day. 3) Anytime I leave a room, put something in my hand that goes into another room. 4) Give myself some "me" time. I want to learn/practice a crochet stitch every night. 5) Wash all dishes and wipe out the sinks and counters around them. I've been doing good so far, so I'm considering what to add soon.

    I have been suffering from severe anxiety for several years and r a lot better (couldn't step out of my front door at the worst). I'm going to do this! My first is have a shower each evening then I am more likely to get dressed in the morning and not stay in my pjs all day which then stops me from leaving the house. Number 2 is eat 1 peice of fruit each day. I'm going to put some more thought into the other steps.

    HINT: Wait until it gets dark and then kill the whole nest. They are all "at home" at night. Wasp & Hornet spray down the hole. I have heard old fashioned ideas of gasoline or oil down the hole, but that does have other potential hazards.

    You always make me smile but I can totally relate. Last summer I stepped on a hive of ground bees and they all came out and stung the living daylights out of me....As my husband is trying to help me, he is getting stung everywhere. We spent the next few hours removing stingers from each other......so awful. He ended up killing ours with a spray and pouring boiling water into the ground. Yes, I need to be accountable.....I need to stop all the snacking and exercise 5 times a week instead of hit and miss. I need to continue to purge and spend 30 minutes a day doing it. So love your channel.
