Let me know which self-care option(s) you choose! And where do you normally eat your lunch or dinner? At your desk, dining table, in front of the TV? 📺 We eat dinner in the kitchen but if I'm alone I love to eat in front of the TV! 😁🎉
Self care for me will be playing guitar - I am learning and finding it very fun/challenging. We eat at the kitchen table and once in a while on the couch to watch a little RUclips 😊. Thank you SO much for the encouraging video ❤
Recently widowed, meals are in front of the tv, enjoying RUclips. As spring arrives -out on the deck of my apartment. Self-care for me is my gym time at least 2 x a week preferably 3. Grocery pickup and online shopping so I don’t stray from my list and remember the healthy choices and budget. I cook a full 4 portion meal - eat twice, freeze 2. Frozen veggies are easier to make just what I need. My skincare routine morning and night are my relaxing bookends of my day. Bedtime I read a little bit then Bible and prayers.
Have a wonderful weekend, Diane. The blue sweater is definitely your color. I'm going to watch a new movie this weekend and give some compliments ❤ . 🎉🎉🎉
🩷 Compliments to YOU Diane!!! You are very brave to sit there and be cheerful and encouraging to us! We, in the U.S, our hearts are with you in these ugly times when everything is upside down. It is important to keep our homes a refuge of cleanliness and sanity and coziness! You are a constant bright light and an example of warmth and positivity! Thank you! 🩷👍👏🥰🌷🌸🦋
Watching while sat at my desk for the first time in over 5yrs (still in the middle of my early midlife declutter). Thanks for keeping me company through all this, Diane. I get confused with fly lady about the different types of session: power hour, detailed lean, weekly upkeep, swish & swipe, focus on a zone/zones/not, etc. I really appreciate the self-care ideas, especially at this time of year! I’ve booked 1.5 weeks leave from work starting just after Valentine’s Day for a bit of a rest and recharge to get me through the rest of winter into early spring as a self-care top-up. Love your cosy crime suggestions. You’ve inspired me to start a list of TV I regularly like to watch - sunny settings, cosy crime, military, quizzes & period/literary adaptations. BBC’s strike was good this series.
Whoa! You're right. I miss your videos oftentimes because I start one, then get a wild hair and off I go. Just now took an armload of things to the basement, started a load of laundry, and brought up something to help make dinner. I'M SO GLAD YOU POINTED OUT THAT YOUR VIDEOS DO THAT TO PEOPLE! LOL. Loving it! The Closer old TV series always does that to me, too, so I know it's a thing.
All 4 self care ideas appeal to me, so good for our brains to change things up. My son gave me some Japanese curry flavour cubes at Christmas, must give them a try! I enjoy recorded tv shows such as House Hunters international and the British, Escape to the country.....love getting to know parts of the UK.
Another wonderful video! I am always so inspired and motivated. I AM new subscriber so I have been watching videos as much as I can…my self care routine at the moment. 😊 Enjoy your weekend ❤
It's a good reminder about grounding again when overwhelmed. Love the TV recommendations; I find a lot of mediocrity out there when I randomly search on my own. Thanks for the video, Diane 💙
We have the exact same taste in television programs! I'm sure I will love the books you recommend as well! I don't have a mug that belonged to my mom, but I have enjoyed watching the television programs that she was watching when she died. And watching new seasons as they go on. My mom passed away in 2018 at age 80. My mom loved her routines, and routines keep me grounded! My self care today is to spend some time sewing. I don't get the chance often enough. 😊 My brain has been everywhere today, so thank you for these grounding reminders!! ❤
Thanks, Diane, for great ideas! I started watching "Vienna Blood" last week on your recommendation and am really enjoying it (it's on PBS in the US). Rah, rah, rah!
Liking that nail colour, Diane! I'm avoiding completing an assignment by watching your video! (The perfectionist in me is procrastinating but I just need to GET IT DONE!) Back to it, so I get some me time this weekend.
Self-care: paying myself compliment. I keep seeing messages about being kind to me, loving myself. Instead of saying should, could, better, i say yes i deserved time to "play" and rest. In tge past i convinced myself only selfish people think they deserve anything because selfish people were telling me they deserved my time and money. I have learned during this season i do deserve without other people's intent.
Hi Diane love your hair..Been sick for three weeks with cough and phelem finally got medicine the 5 minutes helped along w the 15,min..Thank you..Take care b safe.
Hi Diane…..we eat breakfast at the kitchen table and I eat my lunch there also. If the weather is nice, I eat in the garden and spend some time reading there. 🌸
Hi Diane I'm recent new subscriber. I just love your videos, they really have helped me get my act together. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos which I really appreciate. You are always so positive and upbeat. Have a great weekend.
Your Chanel is the best on RUclips ❤ Mostly we eat at the dining room table unless the suns out& then you’ll find me outside. We do have a TV but rarely ever use it. Hubby reads & I listen to music whilst crafting in the evening. 🧶🧵🪡
Love this. So helpful. When your older and fully retired its so easy to either feel overwhelmed or just put it off. This works ❤ You do keep me motivated!! Housekeeping keep it minimal 15 minutes. For self care I always eat in front of the tv. So for me it will be eating at the table. TV I just watched last night new season Ep one Father Brown. Thank you
I know I've seen one of YT videos because I remember your lovely accent. I'm in a different season of life and you're just what the Dr ordered. My husband and I are "mature"😅 and are making things more convenient for ourselves in the same house so everything is pretty much upside down. Not much self-care time but I do love to read so I'll be looking for some of those books you mentioned. I'm also going to watch your previous videos. Thank you for popping up on my videos.!!!
In the USA, the Mallorca Files show is on Amazon Prime. I've had a good time watching it. I miss going to the UK and Europe and it brings back good memories. It's a lot like the American TV show Castle. You get me through the week and I'm forever grateful. Best wishes to you for getting to 100k!
Hi Diane, great video, I tried a different word search puzzle last week. I enjoyed it.I changed sheets did laundry and swiffered floors.We usually eat in Kitchen. In the summer we will sit outside for lunch and Dinner sometimes. Now I'm reading my book. We don't really watch TV.Sometimes we will watch a DVD. Love your new hairstyle it looks good.Loving the blue. Have a great weekend.
Your hair looks great! I'm going to try the rye bread. It looks really tasty. Thanks for the self care tips. I've got the TV too myself tonight so no football or similar so I'm going to find some Agatha Christie!
We always eat tea at the table in our kitchen/dining room and breakfast and lunch at the breakfast bar. We don’t have a tv in this room so never eat in front of the tv. My self care this coming week will be to watch a new tv series. I tend to watch house and travel programmes so I may look for a drama series. Thanks for going back to the 3 vlogs a week, I find them very motivating.
I bought some rye bread today to try for lunches, and it was delicious! I also like to watch movies on French tv in the evenings... sometimes they're American movies available in English, and although they might be older, we've been in France for almost ten years now, so often it's new to us!
Thank you Diane. Indeed, I remember the Van der Valk theme tune from when my mum watched it - while ironing of course 😅 PS I'm quite jealous of you getting French TV too. We only have German channels. (But to be fair, I am in Germany 😂) I think the 'pay someone a compliment ' self-care is a wonderful idea! It's definitely my pick. Best wishes, Anne
4 weeks into the year, 2 out of 4 werks included unexpected and expected guests. Putting away christmas and doing deep clean in guest room. I got most done but didnt get everything accomplished. I can hit those not done areas when i clean that space weekly between now and next deep clean in 6 months. Today i had the spoons to do the swish and wipe of main floor bath and kutchen counters - a daily task i had not gotten to during guest time and recovery (i used all my spoons last week thru Tuesday and took Wednesday and before daughter's appointment yesterday as recovery and recharge that included crafting, reading, watching TV and cell phone). February will be deep clean of office space and a dumping spot for things i dont have a place. The waiter has arrived, i must pay this bill of dump and run lol!!! Thanks for tjus vudeo of fetting back on track along with self-care.
We eat dinner in the kitchen or in front of the TV! 😅 I was just thinking that we could eat in the dining area because we can actually see the TV from there! 😂 But if we turn around we have a great view out the back window. 😊
Your videos are the absolute best thing ever! Thank you for continuing to be there helping and encouraging all of us. Your self-care missions are so helpful for me! It's always the first thing to go and I really appreciate how you not only give permission, but emphasize the importance of, self care. 💅
Great video. I like to watch: Fayher Brown and Midsomer Murders. Also Escape to the Country and Grand Designs. Love yr informative, upbeat videos. Rah rah rah❤
Happy Friday! I think I will eat in the dining room for a change. I love the format of this video. The visual of going to each room and the charts are great. I will be watching it a lot. Thank you! Have a good weekend! 💜💜💜
Giggling still about "Moomin flavored(!?!) Pepparkakor" TeeHeeHee! Thanks for another positive vibes video! Self-care: Lovely tea in Fav Fossils Mug from daughter(!) while watching your channel!
🎉 I actually do all four self-care items, yay! I generally eat breakfast and lunch at the dining room table, lunch once in a while at the kitchen table. Where I eat supper (dinner) varies between the dining room table or in front of the television depending on how messy/needs cutting the food is. My favorite television show currently is 'It's Okay to Be Not Okay,' a subtitled Korean series. Happy Friday❣️
I’m choosing to give someone a compliment. It’s funny, I try to do this often, but I’ve never seen it as self-care. But I do feel so lighthearted afterward. So let me start here: you always have such a delightful positive attitude. You bring light to my day and make me feel that keeping the house clean is something that is doable. I appreciate you so much! 🩷

I do the same, the kitchen table if anyone is home, but in front of the TV if Hubby is away or it’s a movie night!
Recently widowed, meals are in front of the tv, enjoying RUclips. As spring arrives -out on the deck of my apartment.
Self-care for me is my gym time at least 2 x a week preferably 3. Grocery pickup and online shopping so I don’t stray from my list and remember the healthy choices and budget. I cook a full 4 portion meal - eat twice, freeze 2. Frozen veggies are easier to make just what I need.

Your videos are a bright spot ever time I watch. ❤
Thank you Diane for an uplifting video.
My self care this week is to try a new food item. I also want to compliment you, Diane on your new hair cut. You look fabulous!
You are looking lovely today Diane. I intended to say that before you mentioned compliments! Thank you for your help and time. Love from the UK
I’ve been watching you for 5 years after just having twins and you’re wisdom is always such a gift!
like the book recommendations 💗 📖

We need to hear more about the 100k celebration with your kids! It was such a goal for SO long we need to savor your win.
Will let you know! 🙏😃
Happy weekend!
Always there to cheer us up. Give us a good feeling and always good looking. Thanks Diane! (You may guess which self care I choose 😂)
Thank you, Diane. Your work is truly an oasis in this mad world of ours.
P.S I really appreciate your ideas regarding cosy murder books/series.

Ha ha, use a timer for your assignment, Lisa - good luck!
💜🌸NICE TIPS AS ALWAYS DIANE 😊

I cleaned the town home today, took our dog for a walk, cleaned our dog’s dishes, now RUclips time. Got excited about your new video.
90 years old, and the best": 😅 when it takes two minutes, do it now. Thank you, a lot is getting done since you gave that advice

Books😁 Lessons of chemistry you’d recommended two years ago is one of my favorite books🥰🌷🖐️
It's so good! 🤩📚

You’re like a second mom. Did you eat today? Are you taking care of yourself? Don’t forget to check your calendar! 😅
Thanks for being here, Diane!
LOL! Thanks, Christina!
I might try something new. Do you have a recipe for Danish Rye Bread?
💕🌸💕🌸
There is a whole series of children books on the moonims
Just finished viewing last episode of Season 4, Vienna Blood . Wouldn't call it cozy!
Ha, ha, quite gory but love the characters, costumes and backdrops 👏🤩
