I love Joshua‘s weekly videos because you know you’re going to watch them multiple times. Good content, common sense, wisdom and encouragement. Thank you to Joshua, his wife and his team for making these possible. Thank you for my Friday Refresh! ❤

What if you get up so early( 5 am) because you have to? It is hard to enjoy it even If it is quiet. And when you are so exhausted after your working day, that you don't even have any energy to do a hobby that you might have loved before everything got so overwhelming??? Some things are easier said than done sometimes. But anyways, good content.

In one of my favorite movies, there is a scene where Amarante Cordova wakes up, looks in the mirror, and says, "Thank you God for letting me have another day!" Sometimes I say that in the morning when I get up. I have a health issue, which makes me even more grateful for another day. I will write down your list, Joshua. It is a great list. It will help me enjoy each day I am given even more! Thank you!

This short little video might be my favorite of all time! Long time viewer!

I just realized that I’ve successfully been exercising six days per week for 20 minutes per day! 💪 I started going to physical therapy for my bad knees, and I’ve been doing the exercises almost every day, and I also started pedaling for 20 minutes each day to strengthen my knees. I didn’t really think about it, but now that you mentioned exercise, I’m really proud of myself! Thanks, as always, for your encouragement!

[sabaelias]

Wonderful, thank you! I have to wake up early every weekday to go to my work, but I choose to wake up early on the weekends as well to have this quiet time of the day for myself.

I would like to add No.11: accept the evening of a day when you failed at all of the No. 1 to 10.

Such simple and incredibly profound practices that have made my life so much happier. Thanks Joshua

[ritaseymour]

You are a very good clear speaker. It's good to show people that you have had difficultys as well. I'm 74 so can't do much but my task today was to move the supermarket trolley from outside 3 doors up (the only thing half an hour after that someone dumped a small table outside )I think it's to stop a motorcycle being parked there while a bloke visits his housebound friend. Never mind I will have to do another very early moving trip, to help my neighbours friend.Thankyou all very excellent tips.

[yessumify]

I love this. Especially the part that said tomorrow's you will thank you for it <3
