3 Things I should have listened to Dawn about (by Diana 2019)

Today my twin sister Diana shares three things that she wishes she had listened to me about sooner! From decluttering her kitchen to joining a gym, you're not alone if you've had failures...but that's OK!

I didn't read much during my first marriage (36 years). I was a 'bookworm' as a girl and got lost in what I was reading to the extent I didn't hear what was asked of me and it bugged my husband who felt I was cutting myself off from him, so it discouraged me from reading, certainly never in bed. But when he passed away suddenly my boss at the time asked me what I was reading and I looked blankly at him. So his wife very kindly got me a couple of books on coping with life after a sudden death of a close family member. I started reading the first one in bed as being alone in that bed was a hard time of the day and found I would read for about 8 minutes before my eyes became heavy. Worked like a charm.

My neighbor has a cute little reading nook in her house for her kids. They have a large family (7 kids), and they've set a certain early bedtime. However, whoever chooses to read can stay up an extra half hour to read a book of their choice or be read to by a sibling or parent. So reading is a special privilege and reward in their home. I should mention that her twin boys are graduating from high school this year and both received full tuition scholarships to the private university of their choice, which I think has a lot to do with regular reading.

You two have such a lovely relationship <3

I love you two! Here’s a tip for those who like to read actual paper books: get a headlamp (the type with adjustable elastic that fits around your head) in the camping section of a store, or online. Make sure it has a RED bulb in it. Red light doesn’t keep you awake, but still illuminates book pages. It’s hands-free, since it’s a headlamp, and doesn’t keep bedmates awake. It’s worked very well for the insomniacs in my family; they can read but aren’t kept awake by the “blue” light of electronic devices.
I hope this helps someone like it helped us. 💚
Keep up the great videos, Dawn! 🥰

So I joined Jazzercise and two months later I trained to be an instructor and I feel I don’t have to pay to workout and I have made such wonderful friendships!!!

Another awesome video!!! Your channel is the best one on Youtube! Idk...I was having a bad day today and after watching several of your videos today my spirit just lifts and Joy comes back into my heart. I feel like your channel is truly blessed by God to help us not only on our minimizing journey but also in our spiritual lives. Thank you Dawn and Diana! I am so happy I found your channel!

[debraschroyer]

💃💪🚴Exercising from home has been a godsend for me! For a long time I'd lost hope of even going for a walk again due to illness and injuries, but it turns out even a few minutes of exercise at a time adds up to lots of improvement! Making it easy and FUN has made all the difference. : - ) Watching TV while doing a few reps with hand weights kept by the couch - Dancing to a music video on my laptop while things are heating in the microwave - Adding a shelf to my stationary bike so I can scroll while peddling (this works so well I needed a timer so I don't go too long and re-injure myself!). 

It *feels* good to move!

Going back to older videos since I only met you a few months ago. Love you two and I learn something every video. I was a personal trainer too…. Walk and do weights at home. I am 69 now and it still is the best program.

Reading Scripture before bed brings comfort.

Your gym comments are so me! You both are fabulous

Thanks for reminding me about the “6 Minute” wind-down on the Kindle. I used to do that all the time. Then I switched to the iPad and I began to lose sleep. Love the Kindle idea. It lulls you to sleep!

[juliegage]

Totally agree about reading at bedtime. It works for me too!

[lorettavalenta]

The cupboards being half full for ease of getting things in and out is a similar principal I learned working at a library. They keep shelves only three quarters full for the ease of getting things on and off the shelves. It's such a pleasant experience to not have to fight to get something or put something back and the same is true in our kitchens or any cupboards in our homes! Great video!

I have noticed after scaling way back on Facebook and Instagram that I am a lot hapier. I found myself getting caught up in drama and being angry. Thank you for the reminder that I don't need all that. It was great to see you and your sister twice this week. You have a beautiful friendship.

I have a Twin who is also 60 seconds older than me. Every birthday I remind her of that !!! Haha. Though, she could say to me, " You know, when I was your We Love being TWINS. We both married guys named Matt. Haha. . I enjoy listening to your channel and told my identical twin sister to watch as well.
