Gilmore Girls is my comfort show!! I've rewatched it so many times, especially recently during a very difficult season of my life. Love this video!

Delayed gratification is essential. We are hooked on instant pleasures, if you learn to stay consistent on a task you can get a lot of things done. Great advice !

Hi, Michelle. I've got something to share. I've got someone who tells me to drink just because other adults do. I prefer not to drink. I'm not a drinker and I'm proud of it! I don't care what other people think!

I identify with this video so much! I’m in my 20s, have 2 jobs, and feel like I am just constantly on the go, sometimes really forgetting to just be present and enjoy the simple things in life. Recently I’ve really tried to change this, admitting to myself when I need to just stay home and have time to myself. It’s crazy how you one day realize how important these things are and you no longer care about what you once did as a teen!

“YOU’RE SO MUCH MORE THAN WHAT YOU DO”. Thank you so much I’ll remember that! 😊

[emilybooth]

God is TRULY using you girl this really spoke to me in so many ways! I haven’t been on YouTube in a long time, but I’m glad that when I got on this was the first video I saw. I watched all the way through and see what I need to change!! This is such great advice, thank you so much! Glad God is speaking through you to help me understand what I’m going through atm. 💕😪

[francarroll]

I love how you share your faith in God.

[audlynne]

Thank you for calling out "multitaskers" like myself 😂 your absolutely right that taking one thing at a time helps you to have a good attitude on what your trying to accomplish! Such great advice as always ❤️

[AdventuresWithDaniel]

Really enjoy your openness about being a Christian. It's something I'm working on. Thanks for posting quality wholesome stuff!

Michelle, thank you so much for being such a light and sharing your wisdom as you grow. I've been watching your videos for a few years now since I started college (I'm now a fourth year) and I appreciate you so much! May God's grace and protection be over you and your loved ones. ❤

[DarceyPittman]

Loving the b-roll in this ☺️ your editing style has been phenomenal recently!! All the hard work you’re putting into videos really shows

[brookeestelle]

I feel like I really needed this video & it came at the right time. I just started dental hygiene school & its already a lot of work & even after I've finished my assignments & even gotten ahead on some, I still feel like I could do more. I liked that you talked about rest & your own experience with feeling like you have to be doing something all the time. Im trying to find a balance between working hard & doing well while also doing the things that refresh me & that contribute to my greater life goals.

[mariamangion]

I immediately like the video before watching it because I know it’s going to be an amazing video 🌸 I really appreciate all the effort you put into your videos. I cannot even imagine the amount of time and dedication it takes to film, edit, and searching for cozy & relaxing music!

[madison]

Thanks for the video Michelle! I was just freaking out thinking about how chaotic this school year is going to be as a resident assistant in college but I am determined to use some of these tips to maintain peace & sanity!

[jaelajoy]

I’ve just recently stumbled across your videos and I’m absolutely loving your simplistic approach to life and it’s something I’ve been wanting to get better at for a long time!

This last month I've making a priority to keep shabbat every week. Just stopping and acknowledge the fact that the one that provides me is God and not my productivity at work its been a game changer. I use that day to sleep in till I feel rested, reconnect with God and live sloooow. ❤️

[taylorcrimson]

this is everything ive told myself i need to do but you like simplified so much easier for my brain to understand. thank you for this video, im going to rewatch it over & over & apply these to my life!

[MaceyRosalie]

One tip that you mentioned on a podcast episode as a guest was a tip I really liked. I think self-reflection, whether through journaling or something else, can also help us live more simple lives.

[Derriann]

Came back to this video for some encouragement. Thank you so much Michelle! ❤️🙏🏾

[Palak-pb]
