I still come back to the old videos and get encouraged all over again. The green makes your eyes pop. Very beautiful.
Such a nice video, full of great ideas. I am 48 years old, old enough to know about stuff but in reality no, I don't. When I watch your videos, I feel like I am with a friend of mine and your words, your perspective gives me such motivation, that good kind of energy to keep me going about everyday life. Thanks for taking time to make these videos.
My washer broke on Monday, and honestly I feel out of sorts not being able to do my daily load or two! I never thought I'd be a person who looked to routines for sanity but after I had a chronic illness for 4 years... I find comfort in them! New washer will be here tomorrow, thank the lord! Always love hearing your words of wisdom and perspective! 💚
Good Morning Diane in Denmark ~ Mary from Youngstown , Ohio USA. 28 April 2020 lock down quarantine time . Thanks for Popping into my life. You look so Happy and Beautiful . It’s 4:37am in the USA Happy Tuesday . Love you . Take care . Stay safe and healthy. You , Family , besties , and all your followers .. Have a Grand Day ...
Love how you honor your family and friends languages
Thank you for being so open with us!! You are so encouraging!! Thank you for making things that we need to do (routines) so simple!! Thank you for being you!!
You are so welcome, Patti! 😍
I keep the special things but when other sentimental things are just taking up room and I think I should keep them, I take a photo of them and then give them to charity or someone who will use them, and put the photo in an album, so all the memories are in one place to look at anytime and the album takes up less room 💕
That's another great idea, Clare! 👋
Here’s my solution to memorabilia....I started putting all the things that are meaningful to me, things I’m not ready to throw out, things no one else wants, things I don’t want to use or display ...well, you get the idea. I put them in a Funeral bin. Yep, you read that right. These are things my children can put out at my funeral if they want. These items represent my life. It’s a cross section of things including pictures, awards, childhood things, etc. Every year I go through the bin, organize things and declutter. I’ve written little stories to go with a lot of the items. Everything I have that I think will mean anything to my daughters and grandchildren, I have given to them with the freedom to get rid of it if they want. At 74, it’s simply amazing how much memorabilia you can collect! I’m definitely an advocate of Swedish Death Cleaning, probably because I had to “clean up” after my parents and mother in law when they passed away. Oh my, what an emotional task that was, and I won’t do that to my family! All the best from Northern Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 during isolation. Stay safe!
LOL! Love the name!
I'm back. FB dropped you from my regulars I follow. Don't understand??? Anywho, just wanted to make sure you know how much you are appreciated. I lookto you for motivation & you ALWAYS deliver. I seem to be in a funk(?) or something. But because I watched you, I got inspiration!!! I've gone through the downstairs like a cleaning hurricane!!! Yeah me!! Thank you so much for your time and consideration...you rock, dear Diane. Keep on fighting the good fight, sister!!!
Good morning thank you so much for answering my question you have made my day I have anxiety and depression and motivation on some days are harder than others I always tell my self something I heard you say one day in your video "don't do nothing just do something" and it helps me when I follow through have A safe and wonderful day
You too, sending a virtual hug! 👋💖
I adore your videos. Thank you for sharing your routines and optimism-so helpful during lockdown. Be well!
Routines are the key. Dressed to shoes every morning even if I am at home. Slow small steps for change. Life is always changing so we do what we can. Love watching your videos xxx
I used to clean house for a lady who had moved furniture around EVERY TIME I CLEANED! So she was moving stuff at least every other week. It was nuts! 🤣🤣🤣 and I don’t mean a piece or two. It was the whole house lol.
Wow ,that's so amazing you know so many languages. I also always wondered if you are always so happy and cheerful. I struggle with anxiety and depression ,somedays Its a struggle to put on a happy face.
How I wish that some of your cheerful ness dusts off to me.
I also admire that you are so practical.
Lying in bed trying to sleep (2 people in apartment above me screaming cursing and swearing and thumping stomping about until 4.35am ). My poor heart. So cancelled and trying to heal. Watching your video.
I can relate. I hear a lot of this from my neighbors.
Thank you, Diane for your optimism and your wisdom regarding routines. This is so helpful, especially during these times. You are my inspiration. Good health to you and your family.
What a great surprise to find out you are Scottish! My daughter just finished her fall semester at Uni in Stirling. Im so glad she was able to experience a study abroad program because now they have all been canceled at her school due to the virus. We visited for 10 days for Reading Week and stayed at an AirBnB on a sheep farm...absolutely loved it. That trip was a wonderful experience....we had a hard time leaving Scotland...and I hope to go back again someday when this virus hopefully goes away. Anyway, thxs for the motivational content. I look forward to your videos especially now.
Good morning Diane! I’ve been working my way through your baby steps videos and I’m loving that I’m becoming much more focused and organised in just a few weeks so thank you so much for your videos. Have a wonderful day.
I am amazed at the number of languages you speak! Wow! You are a remarkable woman!!
Merci! 😄
Love these Q&A videos Diane, thank you! My granny also loved Kelly green. I remember her in a beautiful fine knit Kelly green poloneck sweater and she would put it with navy accessories and trousers. She had such style, as yours obviously did, and money didn't come into it. She also sewed and knit so many of her and her children's clothes, including wedding and bridesmaids dresses, and even studied millinery at one point, her contemporary was Philip Treacy and she beat him to getting a wooden head form he had his eye on! It now stands proudly in my mom's hallway holding her hats. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Niamh in Dublin
Ohhh, your granny sounds marvellous! What lovely memories to hold dear. 💚
A lovely video Diane. I like to be around friends but I have always valued a little time to be on my own to read or study or to just relax with a good film or TV programme. Growing up in quite a large family I would often retreat to my bedroom to read or go and play the piano in a quiet sitting room. As much as I loved my children when they between 8 and 23 years old I had my own sitting room as we had 3 reception rooms. 2 of my children would use it when it was empty to play the piano but they were often playing table tennis or table football on the evenings my husband was off or playing board games and cards with their friends in the dining room in the winter. We did many things and outings as a family but I often found the odd hour to pursue my own hobbies. My husband used to love watching football and he also had other interests so he never begrudged me having time to myself. I am so grateful. As a full time carer to him I make time for me while he is sleeping . I am hoping sea bathing will be allowed this week as a relaxation to the lockdown here in Cyprus. It has seemed a long April but we are grateful the deaths here to covid 19 are still around the 20 mark which of course is awful for the families involved . Because of lockdown the flu and pneumonia figures this year are haven't been as bad as usual .
Have a good week with your family and enjoy swimming with your lovely besties
xxxx Margaret
I'm so grateful to you for this channel. 🌞 I found your channel back in August 2019, and immediately started in on Flylady and DYT. They have truly kept me floating up most days, especially during our lockdown in North Carolina, USA. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this encouraging time with you Diane!
Funny. When I get the routines done, I feel I have a better Day. When I decide to skip the routines a day, I feel it is not so good a Day.
Exactly! 😍
How wise to have one memory box to revisit as it gets full, then decide what can go to keep more room in the box, then when you're ready, you can hand over just one box when your children are adults. Clever girl!
So interesting about moving furniture around and now you are in a ‘good’ place you don’t need to do that. I’ve noticed that the last 2 years I’ve stopped moving furniture and I also think I’m more calm and settled mentally.
Hi Diane! Totally agree with you on your privacy and keeping boundaries, life can be scary nowadays. I enjoy the videos just fine the way they are, so go you! I’ve determined I’m a T3 in dressing your truth, with a possible secondary 4, so your bubbly exterior always puts a smile on my face and I look forward to spending a few minutes with you every day, your a great motivator and I’ve learned a lot from you, so don’t change a thing!
What a lovely lady you are! Thankyou ❤️
Really enjoyed this video! You've once said that you can have a thousand thoughts in your head before your feed hit the ground in the morning and that is something that truly resonated with me. It was almost eye-opening how I would so often get stuck in my head when I hadn't even started my day/gotten out of bed... To me, this has been a huge game changer to watch my thoughts and get up and moving before I get stuck!
Thank you so much for all that you do! It means more than we could ever tell you!
Yay, so glad it was helpful! 😁🎉
Thank you Diane... for your videos. Sending you love from Australia ❤️
Thank you for making time for us. Love your energy. You always look so well put together yet you seem low maintenance. I wish I could do that.
Thank you, brilliant video today. So lovely to hear about your life in Luxembourg, what an amazing experience! You must have been quite sad to leave but life moves on I guess! I love your positive energy and your enthusiasm always makes me smile. Xxx
Love your Q&As! Always fun learning more about you.
When my Mum and Dad got married, Mum was always moving the furniture. One night my dad came home from a late shift at work in the dark and he fell over in the bedroom as Mum had moved the bed!!! 🤣
Great story😹
That really made me laugh!! Such a funny story!
Sounds just like my Mom, but when my kids were little,they thought moving furniture was a game that everyone played.
LOL! Did she stop after that? 🤔😂
Diane in Denmark Nope!!! 🤣🤣
Your outfit is Beautiful today! Thanks for all the info, love your channel.. I have to be outside at some point of the day to keep me going..and I have a routine thanks to your fly lady system..but getting outside for walks, feeding the birds, watching the wildlife here( javalina, bobcats, deer, squirrels, rabbits, quail and their babies just hatched so they are so cute, and coyotes. I keep a large water bowl outside the view fence, so they can come up to get water...its in the 100's already so they really look forward to that). Thanks for filming and keeping our spirits up!
I'm extremely impressed with your ability to learn languages. I speak French and extremely bad Arabic.
It's not easy to work in a language. I attempted it and did it successfully, but I'm sure it wasn't pretty.
I understand what you mean about keeping your rituals and norms. I fail and succeed with this. Thank you for a lovely video
Folding laundry and enjoying the chit chat! Rah rah rah!
So happy to see you this morning!
Hey Diane I love your outfit and I'm glad that you are staying safe
I feel the same about recharging and disconnecting myself for a bit each day. I love people and work in a law office. When I’m there I am focused, empathetic, and busy. After work I really need a recharge, then I can focus on the family and home tasks. My hubby can go from dawn to dusk and never slow down. 😜
He sounds like a typical type 3, lots of drive! 😂💪💪💪
I’ve wondered about the languages you speak. I’ve heard that Danish and Swedish are very difficult for English speakers to learn.
One thing about keeping mementos that you touched on is to display them, use them, or have a rotation plan to display. I love the concept of using “good” stuff in everyday life. I’ve stopped putting mementos away in a closet. The items do no good there, I’ve been sorting through closets with stuff that I packed away 20 years ago. I forgot I had things!
Thanks for the chat, always enjoyable. Have an awesome week!🌼🌻
Your eyes look fab with that green 💚
😂🤣if you want to torture me, touch my feet🤣😂 that’s hilarious ! I feel the same way about getting my hair done. I have a lot of hair and it takes a long time to do and sitting still in a a beauty salon is do difficult for me 🤣😂
Hi, Diane, haha : are you always happy? Who is? I am most of the time, but if I haven’t the possibility to 'go into my bubble' like you called it, I get a bit nervous and stressed. I use to say: well I’ll have a little reading hour... It seems to irritate people but I can’t help it.
You’ve a passion for languages, too and you really needed it in your job. I did use my language passion a bit at court because I was working with foreign affairs, but of course we hat professionals for translating. For me, it was (and is) fun to understand structures of other languages and it’s such a joy to be understood.
Your easy routines for self care are enjoyable, although I LOVE to go to manicure and pedicures... I’m waiting to support my dear young girlfriend with her saloon again. She’s now in big financial trouble like so many others. I was relieved to hear, how long you’re doing flylady...it looks kind of perfect😉, and I’m struggling so much, hopping on and off. The allergy is so bad this year, I feel already tired, when I'm dressed to shoes😅... Thank you so much for sharing, keep happy and healthy, love, Monika❣️
Have a great day Diane 😊
I loved this video! I’m so glad there are exceptional people like you that we can gain inspiration from. Do you have a talent for languages? I took French and Spanish and never could get on board with them. I was also too self-conscious to speak out loud, but that wasn’t the whole problem. BTW I got some of my morning routine done to your cheery post today. Hooray!
Thanks for the chat. Started my Tuesday off just right. I was able to dust around the house while I listened. Also, good to know you do your nails every 4 days. Now I know the secret. Ha! Ha!
Your hair looks good and I ❤️ RIMMEL nail polish AND makeup... Have a great day 😃👋🏻
Lovely video to get to know you better, Diane :) :)
I used to love moving the furniture around bc it kept me from getting bored with the room. But now, we do not have the lay-out to move things around differently (window/wall placement, etc). I think though, we feel good about not moving things round today bc we have a clear space without all of the clutter so we enjoy it as is!
I am working through all of the saved kid's papers, as of the past month. I had saved EVERYTHING. I think we save all of the things bc at the present time, when we are saving it, it is meaningful/relate-able. This makes it difficult to let it go when they are now 19 & 22. I will take your advice about the note on the calendar! I am good about not keeping too many things when they do not pertain to the kids. Hmmm What is a "jotter?"
I'm low maintenance too and I'm so pleased to find you! Knew about the flylady years ago but didn't keep it up. You've brought me back to it. Thanks!
Welcome aboard, Jenny!
Hair dresser appointments...I remember those. I am considering going all grey and the transition line from grey to bright red is shocking. If I go all #stayinandgrayin I may have to revisit my old punk rock energy for the transition. I will have to reread the DYT info on gray hair for type poo e 3. My roots are very type 2 and that is not me.
I always love seeing your grannie's necklace. Today I loved the shapes that your jacket was creating against the green blouse. The green crescent moon atop the tall triangle reminded me of sculptures and paintings by Joan Mir[ó. And the movement of the shapes was very animated. The graphic quality of the shapes reminds me of your love for graphic elements of stripes and polka dots.
Your living room furniture is inspirational. I love the wall hung book cases and the sectional up on legs so you can quickly clean under everything. ❤👍
This is inspiring me to use some antique teacups for my Coronation themed breakfast this weekend!
Enjoy!
I'm so glad to hear you say as a T1 you need down time. I am reading the DYT book and I'm a T1 but I was doubting it due to my very real need for down time. I think I'm a s2 because I love the comfiness of it. Optimism is a strong suit of mine as well - sometimes to a fault.
Mendi Stone
Trying to decide if I’m a T1or T2.I can be very outgoing , but do need my own down time.
Great ideas as always! :)
I watched a programme about Denmark yesterday, and the woman was saying how difficult it was to learn Danish. She also said everyone was happier there 😊💞
Love your hair color.
Did you have your window open? I was enjoying the birds chirping while you were talking! It's nice you know several languages. I only speak English. I tried to teach myself Spanish years ago but never got far.
Hello, Diane!! I would love to speak so many languages!!! I learnt French many years ago, and I'm learning Italian right now. I would love to learn Danish and Dutch, but I find them so difficult to pronounce. I've been teaching English to my children for a few months now. I love teaching them. Have a great day!
I made a photo album and scrapbook for each of my two sons with their childhood certificates etc and gave them to them when they were adults and married.
Thank you.
We are Swedish but my kids speaks mostley english. My daughter Lily-Rose begun to speak English with me and my hubby so that her littlebrother David wouldn't understand what we said. She was about 7-8 yo then and David about 3-4 yo. Well it "backfired" for Lily-Rose, because David learned English very fast and when he went to 1:st grade, the teacher har to finns hon to speak Swedish because everyone in hus class couldn't understand him. Now in 2:nd grade he have another teacher and he answer David in English if he asks a question in English, it doesn't matter what subject they learn about. I love Davids New teacher. We suspekt that David have dyslexia and belong to the 3% who learn English very easy. David have better "grades" in English than Swedish 😉
I did watch your swimming comp video, but i forgot to tell you, ive been skiing in Lake Bohinj and stayed near Bled. Beautiful place, would love to go back for a visit with my kids 😁😁
It's a beautiful place, I want to return too! 👋😃
Tues Planned meals from my meal list and looking for a new winter coat on sale online. Prepped meals for the freezer, well worth the time and savings. I am looking forward to a professional haircut so much! I get complements on my gray hair, and gave up on highlighting thirty years ago! I think I might be a type one in DYT. PS. Planned my anti procrastination day for Wdnesday! Back to my ATAD discipline
I love your videos and I’m fairly new to your channel so I’m catching up. You may have answered this or it may be too personal and I certainly understand if it is, but because I’ve had a serious illness in my immediate family, I wondered what it was and who it was in your family. My daughter was diagnosed this last year with several serious autoimmune diseases and it was very stressful to say the least. She is doing much better with a lot of different daily medications, but with so many unknowns and symptoms, I worry and get myself in a panic. I certainly wish I shared your optimistic attitude, as I go immediately to doom and gloom.
Hi Terri! I give my family privacy so I don't share personal stuff 😊
Luv your videos. Your positivity shines like a beacon through this tenuous time! I have a small question which you may have answered in a previous video. What type of tea do you drink at the sea? 🤓
We are bringing our own tea right now due to Corono, mine is usually Earl Grey
😊
my daughter in law is in the habit of moving stuff around constantly! big furniture too! im always wondering what makes a person do that? personally, when i find a place for an item, it stays there! is there a psychologist in this community that can answer this question for me? anyway, i just love these types of videos because we get to know you a little bit better!
Always wondered how and why you came to “Flying.” Also...Thank you for connecting me with DYT!
If you want to know my Flylady "story", here's the video ruclips.net/video/WniXToVSo64/видео.html
❤️
Multi-linguist Diane good for you!! Tuesday!!! major day for my garden, new moon two days ago so I have to clean the garden i.e. uproot weeds, and more important to spray for aphids and various insects the roses and my fruit-bearing trees (orange, tangerine, lemon, apricot and pear trees plus a small vine). F.y.i. I use only ecological methods like onion juice, cinnamon, banana peels, and a mixture of paraffin oil and water!! Have a nice day everyone and stay safe!!!
My mum keeped everything from our school time. 2 big banana boxes 😱
For my childeren i have 2 folders. 4 tabs, one for each school year.
I am determed not to save up everything 💪
Good morning sunshine
Love your chat and q&a videos! It is great that you can speak different languages. Wish I could learn another language! Random question, do you use a Roku or smart TV for watching your Netflix shows? Do you have any favorite RUclipsrs that you watch? Thanks for this lovely and positive videos!
Smart TV which can play Netflix or we use our devices (e.g. iPad or phone) 👋
beau bonjour belle journée 🖐🌼
Happy terrific Tuesday to you too Diane. I was wondering which language would be easier for an English speaker to learn Danish or Swedish? I have heard they are similar. Just wondering what your opinion is.
Definitely Swedish! 😃
I've lived in both countries, and Swedish is easier. Much, much easier. I tend to get Swedish pronunciation right 95% of the time, while my Danish other half always makes me repeat my words when I try to speak a bit of Danish 😂. It gets old fast.
I’m interested in buying a new bike. What kind would you recommend? I know biking is HUGE in Denmark! I’m in Ireland, so I could probably source the same type being in the EU.
Gosh, I haven't a clue, mine is over 12 years old! LOL!
Do you, or anybody here, have any recommendations on how to adapt the flylady system for a chronic ilness and limited energy?
I have started doing the homebelessing not at once but spread out over the week, a little task every day. But with that, and the routines, 10min zone cleaning, and 10min deluttering, I still crash into a malaise, and my selfcare / personal hygiene suffer for this.
So I'm curious to how others do it.
Hi Angelic! I give info on how to adapt for chronic illness in the Flylady Refresher Course videos Here's the link for you 👋ruclips.net/p/PLxIYCyTLBED-1vdMwaAhm7Z_3Br__gals
Angelic , I looked for this info through the link and didn’t find it. Di you have luck?
@@sandyh8755 No, not yet. I had gone through the refresher course last week, before asking this question, but did not notice any special advise for 'spoonies'. No luck with google in general either, trying to find someone that goes more in detail for this. I will go though Diane's refresher couse again.
There isn't a specific video on chronic illness, there's advice on changing daily/weekly/monthly routines to your specific needs/illness/family situation/working hours etc 👋😃
@@DianeinDenmark thank you
Did you go to University in Scotland Diane? What did you study?
Languages!
Hi from Ireland, How do u get motivated
Talked about in today's video (routines) and it's in these videos too 👋 ruclips.net/p/PLxIYCyTLBED-1vdMwaAhm7Z_3Br__gals
Oh boy, do I ever understand about the feet. I don't want anyone touching my feet. My mom said I was born that way, because I was that way from infancy. It's really a terrible feeling. Bad news is, I passed that gene along to one of my sons and both grandsons are like that. You think I should blame my Scottish genes, lol?I have a Scottish and Irish background (ancestors).
I am trying to learn Spanish and would love to know how you recommend learning another language. How are you teaching yourself Swedish. Thank you!
C S try Duolingo, it’s great, and it’s free 🙂
Kt Hay Thanks very much. I’ll try it!
¡Suerte!
@dianeindenmark is that a lovely orchid on your headboard behind you.😀👍🏼🖖💕😡
