Here you go! You've been requesting a healthy habits video for a long time. ;) I'd love to hear in the comments below any additional healthy habits that have helped YOU on your wellness journey. And don't forget to pop over to IG and our private FB group (linked in the video description), where we'll continue the discussion! xo - Lisa
Hey Lisa! Thanks for the awesome inspiring video! Could you tell me what that unit is in your bedroom on your nightstand? The thing that lit up to a bright light. Is it a light alarm clock? Very intrigued!
Another useful tip: Start your day with a simple planned task which can be completed with ease. This will jumpstart your activity level and will pave the way for a productive day. If you start your work day with staring at social media, watching clips etc, the day becomes wasted...
This is so true ❤️❤️❤️ do you have any inspiration. My life goes down the drain every day because of this. Also because I've been bed rest for many years due to pain . I need a KICKSTARTER
#1 Cook at home #2 Any food can be eaten at any time of day (ie: eggs for dinner...stir fry for breakfast) #3 Eat veggies for breakfast #4 Hydrate! #5 Keep healthy snacks close by #6 Meal prep and plan ahead #7 Move your body #8 Get out in nature #9 Get away from screens #10 Manage stress #11 Prioritize sleep #12 There's no one size fits all approach to health.
YOU ARE SUCH A CLASSY WOMAN... SO FRESH, CRISP, CLEAN, METICULOUS, SOPHISTICATED, AND OF COURSE BEAUTIFUL... SO NICE TO SEE A PHENOMENAL EXAMPLE OF A GENUINE WOMAN.... MUCH RESPECT AND APPRECIATION FOR YOU... 😊
I can't express how much your videos have helped me. I feel like I'm slightly more in control of my life every day. I've been meal prepping and not only do I feel healthier, I have saved a TON of money. Here in South Africa the majority of the ingredients in your meal prep videos are pretty much always in season and so affordable. The chicken/roast veg/rice meal prep video costs me R270 for a week, so around 17 dollars US for an entire week! Thank you so much.
I was diagnosed with celiac disease a year and half ago and it totally opened my eyes to the approach of healthy living. Your tips and videos have been a big part of that as well. Here's to another healthy year!
I so love your stuff it has changed my life so far. I have had MS for a long time. I’ve been in and out of remission. My last appointment, with the neurologist, I found out I also have Lupus now. So, finding your website, RUclips etc. Has truly changed my life. I’ve started following your “anti-inflammatory” preps etc. It’s been about 2 weeks now, and I am no longer in Lupus flare. I am so thankful. Thank you!
Hi! I am 20 years old and about to graduate as an RN. Over the past few years of nursing school I have become so passionate about wellness and finding out the best ways to take care of our bodies. I just found this channel and I am OBSESSED ! Thank you so much for sharing all of these amazing tips I plan to incorporate more in my life, as well as encourage my patients to do so as well when possible! I have already used a handful of your recipes and can't wait to try more :)
Eating any food at any time was such a revelation to me. I still struggle with it sometimes and feel vaguely guilty about eating leftovers for breakfast but I’m slowly getting over it.
Thank you so much for your work! After watching your videos I got inspired to put my life together and now I'm quitting smoking, planning things ahead, developing healthy habits and cooking hummus from your recipe twice a week 😀
This was a great video and special reminder that we have to do our part in keeping good health. I too have an immune challenge along with cancer. I now do healthy keto and my numbers have maintained for over 4 years. Thank you for what you do. Love your food prep vids.
Thanks so much for following along to Downshiftology and I'm glad you've developed healthy habits already 😊I hope these additional tips help, especially going into the new year!
Just learned I have changed so much, I can do some things, cannot do others. Used to heap new things...now I have to eliminate things, habits, people...you name it. Your videos are so in-portant. Namaste
THANK YOU!!!! For all twelve. I hope to implement more of your preps, recipes and meal ideas this year. It's hard when you're the only one in the family that sees the benefits!
I love the idea of eating any food any time of the day. I am constantly telling my husband that but he doesn't like it because it's not 'traditional'. I also love keeping the healthier things visible and am also constantly trying to manage my stress, stay active and everything else on your list. Love it! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for health tips ! Also listening to soothing gospel music , jazz music works for me. Bathing warm water before bed gives me a very good night sleep ! Eating bitter berries in my organic food helps me a lot ! Once in a while taking a bitter aloe vera belly cleanses my colon. I switch off my phone before bed time and use dim lighting saw that in your tips. Thank you! Forgiving everyone including myself takes all stress away !
Hey Lisa, There are so many tips I did not think of. It is very nice to put the good words into the real solutions of human wellness. Thank you very much. I would simply add that having a pet or surrounding ourselves with indoor/outdoor plants can genuinely benefit our mental health.
Such wisdom from one so young! Keep up the great work Lisa. Your ideas are solid! As I age (now 60), I'm noticing limitations that were not even on the radar. Learning to pace, value the things that really matter & 2 big things. 1. Slow down & don't worry about tomorrow, it will take care of itself. 2. Chew more per mouthful. Thank you for Downshiftology.
In 2004 I was diagnosed with celiac. And you are right it does, well at least for me, set you on the course for wellness. I remember reading something it could have been by Louise Hay, that stated "sickness prepares you for health." It is not an easy journey, but with my own research and wonderful videos like yours it makes it a bit easier! Thanks!
Lisa, thank you so much for your amazing tuition, you are a real great motivator. You have really inspired me to get all the more organised within the kitchen, plan, plan ,plan and exercising too. You have lots of delicious recipe ideas, it's almost taken the thought process out of planning. Many thanks, big hugs & lots of love xx
I love your videos. You're so positive and it feels so genuine when you speak that I actually want to hear what you have to say. It's sets you apart from other channels where I feel they just go through the motions of making a video that is going to get views.
I've been a subscriber for a bit now.. Having a inflammatory disease myself, I've found your approach calming & helpful on my own journey. The water in the AM is especially important as it flushes the added pain & swelling gained during sleep. Keep up the good work!❤😀
One thing I've started doing recently is growing a variety of herbs and using them for making teas - either iced or hot. They taste so much better then the store bought tea bags. Lemon Balm and Peppermint are my current favorites, Herbs are a powerhouse of nutrition and some of the easiest plants to grow in pots either inside or on a porch.
We’ve all returned back into bad habits leading up to Christmas. Hence we’ve had to take drastic action to get back control. Cleaned out the fridge/pantry of stuff and refilled it with healthier things. Decided to do two yoga poses every night before bed (I’ve been good but could do better!). Going back to swimming several times a week and return to routine. It’s funny how routine actually helps to get things back on track! This year I’m going to try to meal prep a bit more.
Outstanding! I lived in Asia over 12 years and you’re right,, People outside of the U. S. Don’t eat special food exclusively for each meal. Food is food anytime of the day.
Love the reminders! In addition I'd like to add a few that usually helps me too. Try to stay positive and not allow other people's negativity influence me and try to get out with friends/family and do something fun. Sometimes I can be to focused on work and I need to find balance.
the quote that really stuck with me is "at the end of the day, it's about helping yourself to make healthy choices". Maybe it's just me but sometimes I lose myself in the mindset of eating healthy, this really reminded me that I'm helping myself, not someone else! thank you!
I love this quote too! Healthy eating and living is all about setting yourself up for success so that it's not a willpower struggle everyday. And it's got to be personalized and fit into your lifestyle! :)
My Indonesian mother-in-law always cooks fish or chicken with tempe, veggies and rice for breakfast. At first it felt weird to eat "dinner" for breakfast but now I'm used to it and often cook the same way. I feel much better too, since it really gives me a healthy boost for the day rather than just eating a bowl of sugary cereal. Thanks for the video!
And I am sooo- just wow! I'm so awed with the fact that you too, have taken interest in other cultures and can point out the wrong ways this country promotes the foods that are not as healthy for our well being.
I love your videos. I was looking for new ideas for this new year to put my health first. I have to make changes for sure. Please do more videos like this. Thank you ❤❤❤
I really agree with what you are showing us. these 12 Healthy habits and tips, can change your life plus feel better long term. You are the one making yourself to be in the good shape and for you to stay longer as well in this whole wide world. I am so thankful to myself because I value everything and do care so much. I am a disciplinarian when it comes to loving yourself. Pushing yourself to be in that way is a good indication that you thinking of your future to come. Thank you for sharing such healthy habits and all.
Love your tips and your site. Here are perhaps 3 more healthy tips: 13. Avoid eating and drinking anything with added sugars, especially fructose. Any drinks with lots of sugar in them should be avoided. Drinks with fake sweets are also at least just as bad. Fructose provided with fiber in fruits, especially berries, in moderation is much better than the corn syrup variety. 14. Skip breakfast altogether, or put it off until later. I was a big breakfast eater as soon as I got up. I pushed if off until later and then skipped it altogether. Now, I don't loose any energy and I feel better and more vigorized. I'd still drink the water and/or apple cidar vinegar, though, when getting up. Our bodies were designed to go through periods of eating and noneating. If you are going to eat breakfast, your tip for a colorful one away from simple carbs is spot on. Chia can be your friend. 15. Avoid snacking during the day. If you choose to snack your video is spot on for healthy choices. The main way to avoid insulin resistance is to lower it between meals and a longer period of not eating overnight is even better. Find out about autophagy. Just as Lisa said, one size does not fit all. Perhaps the biggest health issue facing most Americans is Type 2 diabetes and the associated metabolic syndrome and heart issues which is ultimately caused by what we eat (too many sugars) and how often we put it into our bodies. All of your tips are spot on for a healthier year and a longer, healthier life. Chocolate is definitely a downfall of mine, too. I have easily gotten used to about 85% Cacao. Lisa, thank you for your tips and insights.
Thank you! I love your videos 😍 I am a HUGE believer in the Power of Positivity in your life, stay away from negativity of all types, it’s just energy draining 😫 Wellness for the mind 🌟 is my Healthy tip 🌟
I'm soooo greatful and thankful for another American like you to share such important life values in life. You are a light worker who is here on Earth to help us all continue to live and give life. I thank you so so so much and you have earned my respect without even knowing or trying- beings like you are easily liked and attract such other beings who are kind. I thank you sooo much. May you continue to live a long healthy and beautiful peaceful like.
Downshiftology looks like some of us had the same question about your desk. We are loving your videos and thank you so much for your smart and practical advice
Love, love, your channel! I recently developed psoriasis which has been a hard pill to swallow! Even though I’ve been interested in health all my life, I’ve gone on a strict diet and started a gluten-free and sugar free plan. I came across your channel and am so excited! I will be making the lemon salad dressing tonight. I threw out my salad dressing full of sugar and emulsifiers. Cant wait!
You are so smart and beautiful, my friend! Great tips. I loved the breakfast one especially. That’s how I grew up in Ukraine. We often ate borscht for breakfast.:)
What a breath of fresh air. I feel like a kid in a candy store with all the great recipes and healthy living tips. I have enjoyed exercising (treadmill, running stairs, bicycling, swimming, hiking etc), but have.struggled with food choices, and now I have found one stop shopping for quality nutrition. :-)
Yes, I couldn't agree more! Positive attitude and gratitude are profoundly impactful. If I included more tips that would have definitely been on it. :)
I am so happy I found your page! I am 52 and have been a active person all my life. Back in late July I woke with my hands so swollen I couldn’t make a fist. I thought this was brought on by a hard CrossFit workout but the symptoms only grew worse and worse....traveling to my wrists, arms, shoulders, biceps and now my right knee. Long story short...my RA number is at 64...this isn’t good. They believe I have an autoimmune disease. I have been tested for Lymes twice, both negative. Your videos are helping me to analyze my food choices as well as a way to try and get my life back without the debilitating pain and inflammation. I haven’t watched all your videos yet but I’m working on it! Thank you for the great information!
Love your channel ,very inspiring !It's really nice to hear Ideas and tips that can make me feel more healthy and energetic!! Can't wait for your next video.
Lisa, I love all of your wellness tips! If I would add anything to it, it would be prayer for me. Prayer helps to nourish my spirit and build that closeness and connection with God (Heavenly Father) 😊.
Wow, you are really encouraging me in a good way! I eat healthily but the same thing all the time, chicken veggies soup, quinoa with beets, oatmeal with plain yogurt and fruit. Made my second smoothie thanks to you, Lisa. Works so much better when you know what you are doing. I love your calm, peaceful, healthy and cheerful, encouraging voice. Actually being transparent/congruent and incorporating diet with exercise, sleep, stress management and mother nature! x0
Just found this channel and have just started my health journey. And now I have been here watching like 6 videos and just love your content 🥰 So now you got a new subscriber 💕
Thank you for this. Yes I get it. I have Ibs, so I'm slowly trying to figure out my triggers. So far I know onion, dairy and wheat are a trigger. Still learning what else is my trigger.
Thank you for putting so much work into these videos. I really love them and even though I know all these things (as you mentioned here), doing it is key. And I really struggle to be the best version of myself. I loooove meditating, but then I am always busy when my alarm reminds me to meditate. So I skip it. I don't want to sleep alone and my partner stays up until the middle of the night, so I don't get the sleep I wished I did either. It is really hard to do what is best for me when there are so many obstacles in the way. Might seem first-world-problem-ish, but I need to do those things for my health, really. As someone who is overweight and struggeling with depression since I can remember, I want to start to finally thrive in our world. And you are really helping me. I want to focus on myself more and this little "push" is exactly what I needed. ❤️
I am so glad to hear that I am able to play a part in your journey to changing into a healthy lifestyle 😊It's so easy to skip these habits when life gets busy or stressful, but you just need to remind yourself that it's okay (and much needed) to take those breaks of just 5 minutes to de-stress yourself!
This a great video for New Years Eve. I've started using a lot of your recipes in 2021. Just love everything here and can't wait until your cookbook comes out. Happy New Year, Lisa!
Some great helpful tips also another tip would be re-evaluatingserving sizes in portions as dishes and bowls and cups keep on getting bigger and larger our concept of what one serving is gets out of whack. I looked at serving of cereal recentlyand compared it into the bowl my kids use for cereal and honestly they are getting almost three servings of cereal in that bowl
You are a gem!! As always, so thorough, so well done, so on point and relatable. Your cookbook is a weekly go to in our home. You really add to the quality of our lives and for this I am very grateful. 😊
I love your tips! I also have several medical conditions including auto immune diseases. Even though I have ulcerative colitis, I never felt like fairy or wheat bothered me. After doing an elimination diet as a patient at Clevland Clinic Functional Medicine Dept, I found I didn’t feel well after reintroducing dairy, what and corn. I also limit my carbs to reduce inflammation. It helps so much that my gastroenterologist has taken me off toxic immune suppressants. Mediation and exercise both help alter gene expression for disease. It’s also a great tool for so many things. It’s easier to handle bad days by staying the ever present now, something my brain is now trained to do. Even if all I can do in a day is feed myself healthfully, it helps my healthy improve over time. It’s nice to see another Weck jar fan!!! I love your channel.
How about a “what to stock in your pantry” video and substitutes, I’m always finding myself 1 ingredient short of trying a recipe. Like tapioca flower in the brownies.
Thank you this video!!💕 I am doing some of these but need to do better. I am a breastcancer survivor., 7 yrs. I am so encouraged! Just the motivation I needed.💕
@@Downshiftology Sure. I will. Like you said, they are mostly not new so I already do for a number of them. With struggle and failure. So hearing them from someone admirable, someone as inspiring, is inspiration in itself to keep going.
Love love love this video.. You are so elegant, simple and amazing information. The best video with complete information. Most soulful voice. Mam you are very very genuine and have a beautiful personality. Thank you so much!!!
A few months back, I was having some sleep issues. After watching your video on sleeping tips, I tried incorporating a few in my routine and it worked wonders. I still follow them and it's all thanks to you. 😘
Love this video, along with your others. I have found, as many have realized during COVID lockdown, that truly the healthiest thing you can do for yourself is stay connected to other people. It is not what you do in life, or how you do it. It is with whom.
I did share it with two daughters. I find that your videos are simple and straight forward. You don’t add a lot of unnecessary words to describe what you want to get across. Even though I discovered only recently, I already feel excited about your message and methods.
Love your videos. This video is really good to listen for my health. Your teaching is so precious for me. I cooked chicken baked as your recipe is it was so delicious. Thank you for sharing us. Healthy and happy is most important for all of us. Thank you ❤️

Hey Lisa! Thanks for the awesome inspiring video! Could you tell me what that unit is in your bedroom on your nightstand? The thing that lit up to a bright light. Is it a light alarm clock? Very intrigued!
Thanks 🤩 I need this in my life
Nice beach!

This is my dream, to craft my life in a way that brings inspiration and joy to others. Kudos and much joy to you for doing this.
Thanks so much for your sweet words Lisa 😊Just know you can do it too!

Hi! I am 20 years old and about to graduate as an RN. Over the past few years of nursing school I have become so passionate about wellness and finding out the best ways to take care of our bodies.

Eating any food at any time was such a revelation to me. I still struggle with it sometimes and feel vaguely guilty about eating leftovers for breakfast but I’m slowly getting over it.
Leftovers for breakfast is never a bad idea 😊
I found Italian people don’t have breakfast, they generally have cake and coffee or left overs. It was a revelation when we went there.
I’ve been binge watching your videos almost everyday when I wait for a new video 🥺
Haha, well I'm happy to give you something new to watch this morning. ;) I hope you enjoy it!
Thank you so much for your work! After watching your videos I got inspired to put my life together and now I'm quitting smoking, planning things ahead, developing healthy habits and cooking hummus from your recipe twice a week 😀

Outstanding! I lived in Asia over 12 years and you’re right,, People outside of the U. S. Don’t eat special food exclusively for each meal. Food is food anytime of the day.
Yes! This is definitely apparent in asian culture, and I think we should adopt some of those habits into ours 😊
Those are excellent. Thank you. My health habits: Diet (plant-based-hydrated-fermented), Meditate (briefly), Self-acupressure (dry brushing), Scent (lavender), Pray (Baha'i), Breathe (nose diaphramic), Laugh (friends-videos), Exercise (walking), Learn (often health science), Positivity (Baha'i beliefs), Music (listen peaceful-sing-chant-hum), Fasting (intermittent 8-16 after 6p), Supplement (B12-selective), Beauty Focus (anywhere), Sleep (circadian), Work (purpose-as worship), Support (socialize-help someone) :-) ~ Most ideas, Abdul-Baha, Baha'i Faith
Love the reminders! In addition I'd like to add a few that usually helps me too. Try to stay positive and not allow other people's negativity influence me and try to get out with friends/family and do something fun. Sometimes I can be to focused on work and I need to find balance.
Yes, that is also a great tip as well 😊Negativity is something we all don't need in our life, so it's best to focus on the positive.
I am the same way! I find it super hard to shut my brain down after work or even on the weekends!
RUclips is great for recommending your videos to me all the time.

Thank you for sharing such healthy habits and all.
Love your tips and your site. Here are perhaps 3 more healthy tips:
13. Avoid eating and drinking anything with added sugars, especially fructose. Any drinks with lots of sugar in them should be avoided. Drinks with fake sweets are also at least just as bad. Fructose provided with fiber in fruits, especially berries, in moderation is much better than the corn syrup variety.
14. Skip breakfast altogether, or put it off until later. I was a big breakfast eater as soon as I got up. I pushed if off until later and then skipped it altogether. Now, I don't loose any energy and I feel better and more vigorized. I'd still drink the water and/or apple cidar vinegar, though, when getting up. Our bodies were designed to go through periods of eating and noneating. If you are going to eat breakfast, your tip for a colorful one away from simple carbs is spot on. Chia can be your friend.
15. Avoid snacking during the day. If you choose to snack your video is spot on for healthy choices. The main way to avoid insulin resistance is to lower it between meals and a longer period of not eating overnight is even better. Find out about autophagy.
Just as Lisa said, one size does not fit all. Perhaps the biggest health issue facing most Americans is Type 2 diabetes and the associated metabolic syndrome and heart issues which is ultimately caused by what we eat (too many sugars) and how often we put it into our bodies.
All of your tips are spot on for a healthier year and a longer, healthier life. Chocolate is definitely a downfall of mine, too. I have easily gotten used to about 85% Cacao. Lisa, thank you for your tips and insights.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Loose vs lose.
Thank you! I love your videos 😍 I am a HUGE believer in the Power of Positivity in your life, stay away from negativity of all types, it’s just energy draining 😫 Wellness for the mind 🌟 is my Healthy tip 🌟

May you continue to live a long healthy and beautiful peaceful like.
What a great video Lisa 👏🏻. I couldn't stop watching it 😀. Where did you buy that adjustable computer desk?
Thanks Natasha! 🤗 That's from UpLift desk. I love it!!
Lol. Good thing I found this in the comments. I was about to ask the same question.
Downshiftology looks like some of us had the same question about your desk. We are loving your videos and thank you so much for your smart and practical advice
Hi Natasha! Love your recipes!!
@@Downshiftology wow - love this channel so much
This immediately (after listening to you for a second) is already amazing...
Hi Lisa! What is the light on your nightstand? Is it an alarm clock that wakes you with light? Id love to know where its from :) Thanks!
I changed many things in my life a few years ago, but at times my enthusiasm wanes. Your channel is giving me a much-needed boost. Thank you.
Thank you for the healthy reminders.. love your channel.. I’ve shared this with my sisters already ! Blessing to you !
Love, love, your channel! I recently developed psoriasis which has been a hard pill to swallow! Even though I’ve been interested in health all my life, I’ve gone on a strict diet and started a gluten-free and sugar free plan. I came across your channel and am so excited! I will be making the lemon salad dressing tonight. I threw out my salad dressing full of sugar and emulsifiers. Cant wait!
You are so smart and beautiful, my friend! Great tips. I loved the breakfast one especially. That’s how I grew up in Ukraine. We often ate borscht for breakfast.:)
What a breath of fresh air. I feel like a kid in a candy store with all the great recipes and healthy living tips. I have enjoyed exercising (treadmill, running stairs, bicycling, swimming, hiking etc), but have.struggled with food choices, and now I have found one stop shopping for quality nutrition. :-)
Yay! I’m so happy you made this video!
Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy it and all the tips. :) x
The only person I’m taking advice on changing my life around ❤️
Love it! I slept in today and the sleep bit made me not feel so guilty! Lol
Don't ever feel guilty for sleeping in, especially on a Sunday! 😊
ABSOLUTELY
DECOMPRESS THE PRESSURE
AVOID TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS
TUNE IN AND LISTEN TO LISA 👏👍
I also think positive attitude plays a part too and you definitely have that in abundance! Another great and informative video! 💕 ❤️
Yes, I couldn't agree more! Positive attitude and gratitude are profoundly impactful. If I included more tips that would have definitely been on it. :)
Positivity in life is absolutely essential!
Thank you!! I need to start eating more healthy. You’ve helped me a lot. God bless you.
I love everything in your videos. Thank you & may God bless!
Thanks so much 😊
I am so happy I found your page! I am 52 and have been a active person all my life. Back in late July I woke with my hands so swollen I couldn’t make a fist. I thought this was brought on by a hard CrossFit workout but the symptoms only grew worse and worse....traveling to my wrists, arms, shoulders, biceps and now my right knee. Long story short...my RA number is at 64...this isn’t good. They believe I have an autoimmune disease. I have been tested for Lymes twice, both negative. Your videos are helping me to analyze my food choices as well as a way to try and get my life back without the debilitating pain and inflammation. I haven’t watched all your videos yet but I’m working on it! Thank you for the great information!
Love your channel ,very inspiring !It's really nice to hear Ideas and tips that can make me feel more healthy and energetic!! Can't wait for your next video.
Lisa, I love all of your wellness tips! If I would add anything to it, it would be prayer for me. Prayer helps to nourish my spirit and build that closeness and connection with God (Heavenly Father) 😊.
Wow, you are really encouraging me in a good way! I eat healthily but the same thing all the time, chicken veggies soup, quinoa with beets, oatmeal with plain yogurt and fruit. Made my second smoothie thanks to you, Lisa. Works so much better when you know what you are doing. I love your calm, peaceful, healthy and cheerful, encouraging voice. Actually being transparent/congruent and incorporating diet with exercise, sleep, stress management and mother nature! x0
How are you feeling, just checking up on you
Just found this channel and have just started my health journey. And now I have been here watching like 6 videos and just love your content 🥰 So now you got a new subscriber 💕
Welcome to the Downshiftology community Kristi 😊Hope you enjoy all my recipes!
Thank you for this. Yes I get it. I have Ibs, so I'm slowly trying to figure out my triggers. So far I know onion, dairy and wheat are a trigger. Still learning what else is my trigger.
You've got this! :)
Thank you for putting so much work into these videos. I really love them and even though I know all these things (as you mentioned here), doing it is key. And I really struggle to be the best version of myself. I loooove meditating, but then I am always busy when my alarm reminds me to meditate. So I skip it. I don't want to sleep alone and my partner stays up until the middle of the night, so I don't get the sleep I wished I did either. It is really hard to do what is best for me when there are so many obstacles in the way. Might seem first-world-problem-ish, but I need to do those things for my health, really. As someone who is overweight and struggeling with depression since I can remember, I want to start to finally thrive in our world. And you are really helping me. I want to focus on myself more and this little "push" is exactly what I needed. ❤️
I am so glad to hear that I am able to play a part in your journey to changing into a healthy lifestyle 😊It's so easy to skip these habits when life gets busy or stressful, but you just need to remind yourself that it's okay (and much needed) to take those breaks of just 5 minutes to de-stress yourself!
This a great video for New Years Eve. I've started using a lot of your recipes in 2021. Just love everything here and can't wait until your cookbook comes out. Happy New Year, Lisa!
Every single point mentioned in this video is so meaningful! Absolutely loved this video!
Some great helpful tips also another tip would be re-evaluatingserving sizes in portions as dishes and bowls and cups keep on getting bigger and larger our concept of what one serving is gets out of whack. I looked at serving of cereal recentlyand compared it into the bowl my kids use for cereal and honestly they are getting almost three servings of cereal in that bowl
I couldn't agree more! The sizing here in American is a bit out of proportion, especially when compared to other countries 😊
You are a gem!! As always, so thorough, so well done, so on point and relatable. Your cookbook is a weekly go to in our home. You really add to the quality of our lives and for this I am very grateful. 😊
Dear Lisa:
You make food look so tasty.
Thank you for the share.

I love your tips! I also have several medical conditions including auto immune diseases.
Even though I have ulcerative colitis, I never felt like fairy or wheat bothered me. After doing an elimination diet as a patient at Clevland Clinic Functional Medicine Dept, I found I didn’t feel well after reintroducing dairy, what and corn. I also limit my carbs to reduce inflammation. It helps so much that my gastroenterologist has taken me off toxic immune suppressants.
Mediation and exercise both help alter gene expression for disease. It’s also a great tool for so many things. It’s easier to handle bad days by staying the ever present now, something my brain is now trained to do.
Even if all I can do in a day is feed myself healthfully, it helps my healthy improve over time.
It’s nice to see another Weck jar fan!!! I love your channel.
How about a “what to stock in your pantry” video and substitutes, I’m always finding myself 1 ingredient short of trying a recipe. Like tapioca flower in the brownies.
Hi Christine - I actually have a Healthy Pantry organization video that touches on that idea :) ruclips.net/video/POiQFlC97_E/видео.html
Wow!this is the best information everyone needs to hear wonder why it’s not taught at school.thankyou soo much .love from Uganda 🇺🇬
Great tips Lisa! Please keep bringing us this kind videos 🌟 Love it!
Thanks Annie! 😊I definitely will do for the new year!
Thank you this video!!💕 I am doing some of these but need to do better. I am a breastcancer survivor., 7 yrs. I am so encouraged! Just the motivation I needed.💕
So glad to hear this will give you a boost in encouragement 😊
Pushed like before watching the video 😅Love this! You are an inspiration to us all❤️
At the start of the video - I shared with my mom and dad and brother and daughter. I only found your RUclips channel today and I am so inspired.

Downshiftology thank you so much 😊 and greetings from the Garden of Ireland 🇮🇪 (Wicklow) 👋
You are such an inspiration!
Thank you for sharing.
Happy New Year.
Thanks for following along and I hope you start to include these tips and habits into your daily life 😊
@@Downshiftology Sure. I will. Like you said, they are mostly not new so I already do for a number of them. With struggle and failure. So hearing them from someone admirable, someone as inspiring, is inspiration in itself to keep going.
I can't tell you how important this was for me to see this. THANK YOU for your help!
Glad this video was helpful Jennifer! 😉
I just found your channel and I am absolutely OBSESSED. Thank you! 😊💕
Same! So much inspiration for my new channel!

Love this channel going to plan out my meals now
Welcome to the Downshiftology community Alberto 😊Be sure to also take a peek at my meal prep videos for more inspiration!
Love this video, along with your others. I have found, as many have realized during COVID lockdown, that truly the healthiest thing you can do for yourself is stay connected to other people. It is not what you do in life, or how you do it. It is with whom.
This is one of my favorite videos. Thanks a lot.
So glad to hear that Maidie 😊
I did share it with two daughters. I find that your videos are simple and straight forward. You don’t add a lot of unnecessary words to describe what you want to get across. Even though I discovered only recently, I already feel excited about your message and methods.
Thanks so much for sharing Donna! Glad you're enjoying my content.
She is truly God sent with her video, helping people, how are you doing hope you're good, just checking up on you
Spot on!!! Especially that last one!!
Great video and kind reminder. 🖤
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you. This is probably one of the most helpful videos on RUclips.
Love this! As always, great production and content.
Thanks so much David! 😊Enjoy these tips and habits for the new year!
I had a herniated disk that had me in a bad place for three months and your videos was something that helped me heal...
Thank you so much!
So glad to hear that Cesar 😊
I love your tips and your videos un general! Your Home looks so organized, can you do a house tour anytime soon please?💌
You can actually find my living room and bedroom tour videos on my RUclips Channel 😊
Love your videos. This video is really good to listen for my health. Your teaching is so precious for me. I cooked chicken baked as your recipe is it was so delicious. Thank you for sharing us. Healthy and happy is most important for all of us. Thank you ❤️
Fantastic video, Lisa! So well thought out and put together! ❤️
This video was at 999 views this morning and I couldn't resist giving you one more! So happy I did as I found helpful reminders ☺️.
